Found.
ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.l

Otisfeld, Aug. 14.-Almost tragedy
happened at Popular Ridge Tuesday.
Mrs. Tarbell Moors lady of seventy
eight years of age and quito feeble. went
out short distance from her home to picK
a few blackberries. She had been gone
but a short time when her family became
alarmed at her continued absence and
went in search Of her In the meantime
quite a severe thunder shower came up,
which increased their fears. After the
shower, and it was then late in the after
noon, the neighbors were summoned and
the search continued but without avail
I II the early evening more townsmen
by thirty or more men until midnight.
= Then all but he.son Charles Moors, with
whom she lives, and one or two others,
gave up the search for a short time. 1t
was renewed early Wednesday morning
however, by sixty resolute men. They
thoroughly searched the woods IN that
vicinity and looked in the brook that
flows from Pleasant pond into Crooked
river, but no trace of her could be discoy
cred. She was finally found at about
eight O'Clock in the farthest corner of Mr..
VILLAIN Hamlin's pasture, q distance of
half mile from her home. She was quite
badly stung by hornets, a nest of which
she got into, and was bruised from crawl
ing about upon her knees. But, other
wise she was unhurt and bids fair now to
regain her usual heath in few days.

A WOMAN'S iNFATUATION.s
Mrs. Hoy Gave Up Home and Husband to
Elope with Circus Man and Had to
Furnish the Funds.
ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.]

Bangor. 15.-Detective George W. Har-
rimanImade an Important capture here
today, and the story connec ted with the
case is a most interesting one. In the
town of West Milan, N. H., has lived the
family Of Thomas Hoy, consisting of him
self and wife and two small children.
Some time ago a man came to the house
of the Hoys and announced himself as an
employe of Washburn' S circus and wanted
to stay there for awhile as he was sick
and tired. He gave his name as Joseph G.
Gard and within a very short time after
becoming member of the Hoy household
he vas on very friendly terms With Mrs.
Hoy. He asked her to run away with
him to tho Provinces and she consented
They had no money, but by the sale of
piece of property several weeks ago Mr..
Hoy had received q check for $9C, which
was made out in his wife's name. She
cashed this check at the West Milan do
pot and the two started for Bangor.
They arrived here last Wednesday to-
gether with the two children and went to
| Card, wife and children of Alma, n B.
They had arranged to start for the Prov
lnces Thursday morning. Mrs. Hoy took
some of the money and bought Gard a
| new suit of clothes and he had it on when
| arrested by the detective.
This morning when the train arrived
from the east therealighted from it asrath-
er countryfied looking man. 1t as Thorn
as Hoy and he was hot upon the trail of
his wife. He had the number of the check
| that the West Milan baggage man placed
upon Cards baggage and he at once staff
ed for the Maine Central baggage room
to compare them with those on the bag
gage there. He was successful and found
that there were checks there that corres-
ponded with his numbers exactly and he
also recognized the piece of baggage as
coming from his home. He wanted to
| take them awaysand got real angry with
the baggagemaster because he would not
allow him that privilege. Finalyl by the
advice of a young Bangor man he sent
for Detective Hartman and explained his
case to him. The detective started to look
| the matter up and just as he came out of
the baggage room he met Gard, Mrs Hoy
and her children and at once took them
into custody. They were taken to the po-
ice station and were brought before Re
corder Adams later. Hoy wanted to
prosecute Gard, but the court could not
see where he had any chance and the case
ended by Mrs Hoy agreeing. to return
home with her husband. Gard will go to
the Provinces.
Mrs Hoy gave no reason why she
should leave her husband. Shs said that
he drank once ina while, but was always
good to his family and she had nothing
to complain about. Hoy took his family
and returned home Oh. the. noon train.

My Lords and Conference.-The COM

powers assure me of the continuance of
their good will am happy to say that
no international complication has arisen
in any quarter that is calculated to en-
danger the peace of Europe. The war be-
tween China and Japan which was in
progress at the opening of the last session
has been brought to a conclusion by a
peace which trust, will be enduring. |
have observed strict neutrality during the
war and have not taken any action in
respect thereto, except such as appeared
likely to be. favorable to a termination of
hostilities.
I deeply regret to say that most
atrocious outrages upon a body of Eng
lish missionaries have been reported in
the province of ruhiel, China. In reply
to an earnest representation addressed to
the Chinese government by my directions,
| active measures, which trust will prove
effective, are being taken to punish the
murderers and all who were in any de-
gree responsible for these crimes.
| Internal troubles which have broken
out in the Armenian districts of Asiatic
Turkey have been attended with horrors
which have moved the indignc ion OF
the Christian nations of Europe generally
and my people especially. My ambassador
and the ambassadors of the Emperor OF

Republic, acting together, have suggested
to the government Of the Sultan the re-
forms which in their opinion are neces
