with the spanish nobleman and prom.

MILLIONAIRE'S CHILD LOST.
Miss Edith Drake Disappears at the
Same Time as a Man She Loved.

MISS Eultn Drhke Dthppehrs Ht the
Same Time as Man She Loved.
New YORK, July An evening pa
per says: Hiss Edith Drake, - years
old, daughter of James NJ. Drake, the
millionaire banker, has disappeared
mysteriously and her parents and
friends are much alarmed because OF
it. They have asked the police to help
search for her, because they say her
mind is somewhat affected. She was
deeply infatuated with Samuel ID. Nc
Gibuey, a builder, who is year
younger than Miss Drake. McGibncy
is said to have made trip on. of town
at a time corresponding with the dis
appearance of Miss Drake, but as yet
there has been no suggestion that they
have taken the matter into their own
hands and eloped.
Miss Drake and McGibney were en-
gagged to be married about year ago,
but without the consent Of her parents.
When the subject was preached to
Miss brakes father he doubted the
sincerity of McGibney's affection for
the girl and forbade the marriage, on
account, it is alleged, of her mental
condition. Miss Drake was last seen
at one of the uptown hotels on Broad
way last Monday night She appeared
to be greatly ag tated and told friend
that she and McGibuey loved each
other, but that her parerSs opposed
their union and that she had be.n
driven from her home. She was adj
vised to 60 home, but told the friend
that IL she returned TO her home she
would be arrested. Before she left the
hotel Miss Drake promised to return
home, but has not yet appeared there.
necessary measures will be taken to
place her in retreat for the insane"

BARpwELI., KY, July s.-A most
horrible drama has just beer enacted
At this place. Shortly after noon
Charles Miller, the negro who muir
Tered the Ray girls WAS birnt 10 death
lt,the stake.
The deliberate execution OF the
brutal murderer was with ssed by
crowds who came in all night long
from vari us points.
1t was an orderly multitude and the
frightful fate OF the man was looked
upon as coolly as il it had been de-
cree of the court When the negro
was brought in by the posse of civilians
WI had tracked and captured him
suppress sed howl went up from the
multitude like the dull roar OF lions
thirsting for blood.
A gray pallor made Miller's face
look CHASTITY. and his terror was pitt
able TO behold. He was in fact para
lived and nerveless. When that aw.
full cry went up he started and gazed
through bloodshot eyes at his captors,
relapsing Immediately into his former
apathy.
When he was dragged to the pile
which was to e his funeral pyre ma
ture asserted itself, and n sharp, pierre
ing cry rang out high above the NUT,
terings of the people. Then there was
desperate attempt to escape, but his
captors were too many. Securely
bound, the fated Miller was fastened
with iron chains to the stake, which
stood firmly forth from the pile OF
wood.
He was ordered to say his prayers,
but the poor wretch did not seem 10
realize the order. 1t was repeated,
and then the gray-b ue lips moved and
showed the white teeth. which were
Redeemed with blood which flowed
from the lips bitten in the intensity OF
agony.
Then Ray, the father of the slain
girls with set and pallid face APP
preached the pile, which had already
been sprinkled with kerosene, some
of VIII CHI had been thrown over the
negro, and set fire to it with his Own
hands.
In moment the pile was one fierce
raging blaze. Shrek after Shrek
burst forth from the cloud OF fire and
smoke as the flames greedily enveloped
the victim. Gusts of wind now and
again divided the flames and then the
hiGe distorted face of Miller could
oe seen, his eyes starting from then
sockets and his terrible struggles shall.

DOWNFALL OF A. J. WHITMAN
Popular Young Politician of Minnesota
in Disgrace


ST. PAUL, Mimi, July s.-Nothing
has so stirred Minnesota political cir,
cles in many day as the announce.
ment of the arrest of Alonzo j. White.
man at Monmouth park on the charge
of passing a worthless check. White.
man was one of the leading democrats
of Minnesota and until recently had a
fortune of 100000. So popular was
he that he was in 1856 elected a state
senator in an overwhelming republi-
can district, and during the following
four years was the author of more
wise legislation than almost any other
member of the legislature. He also
modestly bore the honor of beng the
youngest senator in the bodies in
which he served, being just Is when
he took his seat.
He was the author of the Whiteman
election law, under which she state
voted up to 1892. He was married in
1859 to one of the leading society
ladies of st. Paul, and in 1890 was
nominated for congress in the Fifth
district, being beaten by Halverscn,
populist. In this contest he spent
money so lavishly as to impair his
fortune.
year later, however, his father
died at Danville, n. Y. leaving him a
large sum of money. Recently he has
been rapidly going at the pace that

WORST STORM IN MANY YEARS
Terrific Hail-Storm and CIoudburs in
the SchuyIkiII Valley.

the SchuyIkiil Valley.
READING. Pa, July This city was
visited by n hail-storm last night
which for destructiveness eclipsed all
previous storms of the kind since 1866.
The storm originated about three
miles west of Reading and covered a
width of about four miles. Shortly
before o'clock black cloud appeared
in the western horizon and moved
eastward rapidly. Twenty minutes
later the streets of the city were COW
cred with hail and water and the sew
ers became choked, being entirely too
small to carry off even one-tenth of
the water. South of Reading, especially
along the Schuylkill valley, the de-
struction to crops was very great.
At Birdsborro hail fell TO the pdeth
of three inches, and in some places
was piled to depth of nearly foot.
The stones were the size of hickory
nut and fell so rapidly that pedestrians
in this city were driven from the side
walks. Street car horses became I'M
manageable from the pelting hail, and
the drivers were compelled to stop the
cars and seek shelter because of the
hail striking them on the hands. u
the southern and northeastern part Of
the C ty many cellars w. flooded.
At Royersford trains " ere delayed
twenty minutes by the tracks being
flooded. A passenger train got into
the storm at Phehixville and remained
in il until il was near Pottstown. The
storm is described as terrific and the
hail pelting the roofs of the cars
caused panic among the passengers.
The storm was accompanied by thun-
der and lightning.
The Reading forge on north Eighth
street was flooded TO depth of four
feet and the fires had to be drawn md
the works shut down.

WHAT AILS GROVER?
Report That the President Has Been
suffering from Cancer.

suffering from Cancer.
BosToN, July SIT may be an I'M
founded rumor, but the assertion is
made upon the authority of neigh
Dor of President Cleveland at Buz-
yards Bay that the Presidents illness
which confines him to his cottage is
due to an operation performed by DR..
Bryant last Saturday to remove
cancer. The report first came from
Buzzards Bay yesterday morning,
and later information was re-
ceived from Washington before the
Buzzards Bay report was received
there. How, much truth there is in
the startling assertion cannot be
learned, because DIR. Bryant, Col. La
mont and other persons near the Presi-
dent will not discuss the Presidents
indisposition otherwise than to de-
clare that he is suffering from a slight
attack of rheumatism, which will keep
him confined to his room for some
time. In the light of circumstances
previously declared trivial, however,
the report is accepted as having some
basis of truth.
The cancerous growth which DIR.
Bryant is said to have removed from
the mouth of the President last Satur-
day was first noticed, according to re-
port, more than year ago, but did
not cause him any inconvenience until
n few weeks ago, when a prominent
New York specialist and DIR. Bryant
made an examination of the formation
and decided that IL should be removed.
The cancer, II report be true, was a
very small affair under the tongue
and was removed without difficulty,
although the operation must neces-
sarily have been very painful one,
and as a consequence the President is
suffering from the effects of ii.
