ATLANTA, Ca. Feb. 12.-Miss Eta
Mcbride, the missing Minnesota school
teacher, has been located at last. She
is not dead, as reported, but alive, and
in the vicinity of Charleston. The story
connected with the disappearance is
familiar to the readers of the GLOBE.
Miss Mcbride left her home in Mime
sofa in July and went to Burlington,
VT, for the benefit of her health. She
remained there until few months ago,
when she came south, going to Charles
ton, where she was supposed to have
died. The search instituted by her
brother-in-law, Lamberton, failed to
discover her whereabouts, though it de-
veloped beyond question that she was
not dead. Since Mr.. Lamberton was in
Atlanta the police authorities have
been searching for Miss Mcbride. Yes
terday they aScertained where the
school teacher was. The mystery has
been partly unravelled, and the lady
has met with no foul play, nor has
she sulcided, as was supposed by
some, but is now at Mt. Pleasant, S. G..
n rev DAYS aIIer Sne disappeared
Miss Mcbride went to Oakley, S. c.,
where. in company with young man,
they bought horse, borrowed buggy
and went into the country. From there
they made their way to Mount Pleasant,
and it is supposed that there was ro-
mantle marriage in the meantime. De-
tectives Miller and Mannies. of Charles
ton, have gone TO the little town to
bring Miss Mcbride back to that CITY,
What reasons the charming Miss Eta
could have had for her strange method
of allowing her family to remain in
darkness about her whereabouts is a
mystery she only will be able to solve.

A FEMALE GHOUL.
Detroit Homes Despoiled by a
Fiend in Petticoats.

DETROIT. Mich, Feb. 12.-The De-
troit police are inclined to attribute the
sudden and complete disappearance of
five young girls within the last few
weeks to Chicago procuress, who is
said to be operating in this city. The
five girls are between the age of thir-
teen and seventeen. The first to disap-
pear was Mabel Scott, fifteen years old.
Jan. % Rose Basowitcl, remarkably
pretty thirteen-year-old Polish girl, lis
appeared from her home, and not the
slightest trace of her has been found.
Following close upon this case was that
of Hattie Lee Snow, who lived within
TWO doors of Rosa BaSowitch. Hattie
told her parents that she had secured a
place as nurse girl on Alfred street,
and took her clothes with her. She was
seventeen years old, and quite good
looking,
While Miss Lottie Griffiths was on
her way to Cleveland last July, she met
a woman who gave her name as Brown
ell. This woman urged the girl to ac-
company her to Europe. Lottie's par
entS refused to listen 10 such a PROPOSE
ton, but the girl ran away from home
when pressed by Miss BrOwnell, who
came to Detroit to see her. They start
ed to New York, but landed at Chicago,
where they went to house on North
Clark street, the BrownWell woman
pretending she had business to attend
to before leaving. That night, Lottie
was drugged and ruined. She became
the mistress of board of trade man,
but was discarded by him when it be-
came apparent that she was about to
become mother. Instead of pursuing
life of shame she reoented and came
home to her parents, who forgave her.
The police are of the opinion that the
Brownell woman is still working De-
troit for girls, who are sent to Chicago
She also operates in Cleveland, where
she stops at the Hollander house. They
credit the other disappearance to the
Chicago prOcureSS.

A DETECTIVE IN 1T.
What a Pinkerton Man DiscOvere
at Duluth.

What Pinkerton Man Discovered
at Duluth.
DULUTH, Feb. 12.-There was big
sensation today in the section 80 ease
before Register Nichols in the land
office. 1t was the evidence of James
McParlin, the famous Pinkerton de-
tective, who had charge of the Barnaby
murder case at Denver recently. He
said he was in Duluth in August
and September, 1866, and assumed the
name of James 5. Mack, representing
wealthy Philadelphia syndicate anxious
to invest in mineral lands. He made
the acquaintance of Hartmann and NAL
lett to get information about the case.
Hartmann told him the history of the
agreement as to the settlement of Hyde
and Mcdonald upon the disputed track,
and that Hartmann and Mallett were to
receive half interest in the land.
Mallett told him the pre-emptOrS had
perjurcd themselves. He, McParlin, rep
resented that he had influence at Wash
ington, and could get patents for
them, and in consideration of this they
agreed TO give him one-thlrd interest
in the lands. Mallett told him that
Judge White, of this city, also had an
interest, and had offered to sell it tor
$4,000, but subsequently raised it to Sl0,-
900. Hyde was here at the time and was
to sign contract to deed this one quar-
ter section as soon as a patent was OBJ
tanned to Mallett and Hartmann. Nc
Donald wanted $1,000 for his share and
Judge White wanted the EwitneSs to adj
vance it. He was also asked to put up
$4,000 in the bank with the agreements
of settlement to be made if the con-
ditions were complied with. McPariin
objected Oh account of the risk, but
Judge White said: "Yes, You might
be indicted for conspiracy. but you
could get out of it easier than we
could"
Hartmann told the witness that NAL
lett had shown a contract to Pickands,
Morse Il Ely and a lawyer named Hoyt,
of Cleveland. Witness said it was risky,
but Hartmann said only one Of the
parties was present at time, and if
any one claimed he had seen the con-
tract the others would swear no such
contract existed. The negotiations ceased
then, and he left Duluth. Hartmann
afterward met him i'll Chicago. and said
j. p. Peck, of Duluth, and the Iron
Range road, had busted the deal.
Hartmann then said: "When | return
to Duluth will set the pre-emptors to
give up ninety-nine year lease. The
old contract we will burn and swear it
never existed, and on receipt of patent
we will deed the property to yOu."

Stripped and Whipped, Then
STATED for Pretty Maid.
North PLAIN, Conn, Feb. 12.-Miss
Alice Grover and Richard Parsons, of
Wilmington Green, were married here a
few evenings ago. This was the closing
chapter in a romance, of which the
principal features are jacket-Whipping
contest and a skating match. Richard
Parsons and Alexander Boyce, prosper
Gus young farmers, began two years ago
paying attention 10 Miss Grover. who
was seventeen years old, very pretty
and vivaclous. She apparently had a
deep regard for both men, and neither
could satisfy himself that his suit was
looked upon with favor. As the months
rolled by the two suitors began to eye
each other with jealousy. Parsons
called at the Grover house last
May to invite Alice to attend a
picnic, He found that she had
already gone with Boyce. Parsons
drove to the picnic grounds and man.
aged to work up fight with Boyce.
The friends OF the two men finally got
them apart. A week later Parsons
challenged Boyce to jacket-whipping
contest, in which jackets were to play
no part. The men were to stand bare
above their waists. Their left hands
were to he tied to their bodies. and they
were 10 thrash each other with walnut
whips until quarter was called for. The
WorSted sutton was to allow the victor
to win the hand of Miss Grover if he
could. Parsons challenge was promptly
accepted, and the contest took place in
barn in the presence of a dozen
friends of the contestants. The thrash
ing lasted until both men sank to the
floor from, exhaustion.
Miss Grover, hearing of this affair. re-
fused TO have anything more to do with
either OF them, but they continued. so
far as possible, their addresses to the
young woman until she once more
smiled upon them. Two weeks ago she
told Parsons and Boyce that she be-
lieved she loved one as well-as the
other, and that she had decided TO be-
stow her hand npon the man who could
prove himself most worthy of her in a
skating contest.
This contest was to last two evenings.
The skaters were to start from opposite
sides of the pond at Z o'clock and skate
until 10. Parsons was to do his best to
catch Boyce the first night. The second.
night BOyce was to catch Parsons. If
between the hours mentioned during
the two nights the men failed to over
haul each other, the contest was to go
on every night until one of the men
was caught. If Parsons caught Boyce
the first night and Boyce caught Par
sons the second night the contest was
to be continued two more nights, until
it was decided which was the better
man.
The shores of Colton's pond were
lined with spectators when the contest
began, and fires were burning around
the pond. Miss Grover witnessed the
struggle. The first night Parsons
caught Boyce after nearly three hours
skafing. On the second evening Boyce
failed in his efforts and the referee de-
clared Parsons the winner. Boyce took
his defeat very much to heart. Miss
Grover seemed to be we'll satisfied with
the result and readily consented to an
early marriage.

10 our party who. regardless of conse-

hateful oligarchy of men whose whole

advancement, rather than an adherence

address of thanks from the New York

A few days ago the committee feared
