eErr1ya OUT A SEARCH WARRANT.

As soon as his absence was discovered Capt.
Webb had strict search made in and about
the grounds to see il the truant could any
where be found. 1t was ascertained reliably
that he had left no note behind, and his COM
rades made no sign. So the captain immedi-
ately offered liberal reward for his re-
capture.
Several hours aiterward one Of the many
anxious searchers discovered Tony" about
four miles below River View swimming along
after the peculiar manner OF seals with his
head and about one-third of his body in an
upright position above the surface Of the
water.
An effort was made to persuade the run
away to climb into the boat and return quietly
home. but "Tony" winked his of eye and
Immediately disappeared. 1t was supposed
from the direction he had taken that the ami
NAL had instinctIvely started on the right
road for salt water but later there was visible
evidence that he was merely out on lark,
without any wsll-defined purpose in view.
As the steamer Pentz was on her last trip
to River View Tony was observed by
Capt Randall TO be sporting about in the
water short distance below Washington.

in the act of shooting the animal full Of holes
with shotgun, under the impression tnat a

ON Congress. As all sea serpents are rated
as .-cranks." the boatman concluded he
would save the police job. But Capt Ran
dali called to the gunner. requesting him not
to shoot, and offered him SO il he could
catch the seal and deliver it to him.

"Tony" evidently recognized the captain,
and determined to have a longer lease on
liberty. so after signaling the pilot and send

dive, and. so far as known, has been seen by
no one since. Capt. Webb is ready to pay
literally for information as to .'Tony's" where

NEW YORK. Oct. 27.-Christina Jorgen-
son stopped on the stairs leading TO her
homo on the second floor Of POI East Sew
enteenth street Sho had been out after
a pail OF fresh milk for her sick lodger,
old white haired Josef Kurris, the mu-
stefan. She leaned against the stair rail
ing and listened to the swelling strains
of music as they noated down the dark
hallway and filed the dank atmosphere
with sweet melody She knew that old
Josef was amusing himself by playing on
the violoncollo, something he had not
done before for weeks.
Tho music brought back to kindly
Christina visions of youth and childhood.
Her cars were opohed again TO tho rus

A pistol shot stopped her musings. The
music suddenly ceased, and great still
ness which fell over tho house alarmed her.
AS sho hurried up stairs the pungent
odor Of gunpcsyer fluated out through the
door of Kurriz S room. She heard groan
Died Ciasping His Cello.
Josef Kurriz sat on tho bed. On his
arm lay tho neck Of his violoneello, and
in ono hand a smoking pistol was hold.
His head was bent over the beloved in
strument, and his white locks all drip
ping with tho lifo blood which flowed
from a wound in tho right temple, intor-
twined with the strings Of the violoncello.
/ Tho kindly blue eyes were closed in death,
and tho spirit which had called song from
the instrument had flown away.
In notebook was found a written OK
