CRANK AT M'ALLIsTER ooTrAGE
A Mysterious Woman Follows Hey
ward mcAllister at Newport.


Newport, r. l., Aug. l4-Heyward Nc
Allister, son of Ward McAllister, went
for a drive last evening with Mrs. James
Hude Beekman. A closed coupe followed
their carriage from place TO place, and
when they returned To the McAllister
cottage a closely yelled woman leaped
from the coupe and tried to enter the
door She was not admitted
The incident became known today and
led to rumorS that the mysterious wo-
man was the young Mr.. McAllister's wife
lt was ascertained however, that the
woman was registered at the Perry house
as Mrs. f. a. Mccall. The story is that
she bombarded the McAllister cottage
with notes all day yesterday. These, of
course, were not answered, and nothing
was seen of the sender until she attempted
to enter the cottage after the drive
The World reporter found the woman
today. She hardly'lOoks the crank She
is of medium hight and slender build,
with small features and brown hair She
was attired to-day in a gray skirt and
jacket over a blue blousewaist She wore
a sailor hat and gauze veil.
The woman denied positively that she
was Mrs. Hayward McAlister who she
asserted, was in Europe studying after
having procured a divorce The woman
said that she was on the stage and might
possibly star the coming season. Ques-
toned closely. she seemed to be entirely
unfamiliar with theatrical affairs and
people.
1t is said here tonight that Mrs E. A
Mccall is well known about the Hotel
Albert in New York, where she has lived
She left the Perry house tonight for

BLINDED By MOON RAYS.
A Hapless Skipper Made sightless in
Mid-cCeau

Because Capt. Bray was moonstruck
and made totally blind, the logwood-laden
schooner Nettie Langdon, from Falmouth,
Jamaica, for Philadelphia, has been com
PEELED to put into Key West in distress,
where she still remains.
The Langdon drifted about in a help
less condition for days after Capt Bray's
sad plight, and finally drifted toward
the Florida coast, where a pilotboat was
sighted, and Pilot James Sinclair was
taken on board, and he navigated the
vessel to Key West.
The unfortunate skipper's loss of eve
sight is believed to have been caused by
the reckless manner in which he spent
his nights Instead of sleeping in the
cabin, he invariably slept on deck in the
moonlight. The rays of the moon totally
destroyed the sight. In the tropics this
occurrence is not rare, but it is seldom
heard of so far north as the latitude of
Jamaica. In Demerara many cases occur,
especially when the moon is in its strong
est phase.
As if this were not enough trouble for
the blinded skipper, Pilot Sinclair brought
claim for salvage against the vessel for
extraordinary services. Capt. Bray was
compelled to pay $3.50 before the vessel
was able to clear.

ANSWERED HIS PRAYER.
Meeting Delayed Just After
the Preacher Prayed for Rain.
ln., H..

from the Chlcago Times,
Walnut Ridge, Ark, Aug. l3-This
town is still excited over the recent an
swer that was made to prayer at a camp
meeting near the town. The weather
was warm and the people built an arbor
in grove and revival meeting were be-
ing held in it. Great interest had been
manifested and this fact had added to, the
zeal. AS the Rev. MIR. Robinson, a local
preacher of strong lungs, was praying he
asked the Lord to bless them now with
rain, saying
Lord, come down now and pour out a
blessing of some nature upon US, one of
such nature as we can remember, one
that we can feel certain that it is from
you, and come now"
Here the prayer stopped, not because
the Amen was reached, but because a
flash of lightning came down with roar
of ten or more cannons, shattering a huge
tree near by, scattering its branches over
the entire audience, knocking some sense
less, wounding others and frightening all,
most of the audience believing that the
end of the world had come. They had
scarcely recovered from the shock when
such a volume of water came down as al
most to drown them.
This would not seem so pc ocular were
1t not for the fact that upon the fash of
lightning no cloud was visible and stars
were shining brightly everywhere, but at
that moment small coffn-shaped cloud
lowered over the audience, and from it
came the deluge of water
1t was remarkable occurrence, and,
whether it came in wrath or as blessing,
it broke up the meeting, and but few of
those present can be induced TO 90 near
the ground again. Those who have ex-
amined the ground think that not less
than fifteen inches ofwater fell, and that
in less than five minutes.
