a Pennsylvania Woman BeJtered to Hare
Been Deroured by Wild Beasts.
HAZELTON, Pa, Oct. 9.-The village of
Buck Mountain, four miles south of here,
is greatly excited over the mysterious dis
appearance OF Mrs. Patrick Breslin. Last
Saturday she left her home ostensibly to
visit her aunt, Mrs. Harkins, who lives
near Lanrytown. Between these points is
dense forest. Mrs. Breslin was seen to
enter the woods. and since then all trace
of her has been lost. Wildcats, cougars
and bears are numerous there. AS the
night went by and she did not emerge
from the wilderness, it was thought that
she had lost her way.
A searching party was organized yester-
day to look for the woman. The forest
was secured. One of the explorers found
piece ola skirt and the sole of woman s
shoe, but whether the relics belonged to
the missing woman or not is unknown.
The fact, however, was made known, ex-
cited the community and systematic
search was made. All day the woods were
invaded by the villagers, and at noon hun
dreds of persons had been interested in the
hunt.
AS night fell and no trace of the woman
had been found her husband began to de-
spair. He believes she lost her way and
was attacked by wild animals. Last night
the mountain side was Illuminated by fires
and searche1s were running hither and
thither. signal station has been estab-
lished so that any one can signal the

Panic Eozto,cs Poisoning.

DES MONIES, Iowa, Oct. 9.-The State
Board of Health has received an appeal
from Sabula, where large part of the
population is suffering from the wholesale
poisoning which occurred at wedding
three weeks ago. Two more died to-day,
making four dead. D. G. Gage, groom at
the wedding, will die, and others are al
most certain to do so. The walls of the
victims can be heard all over the town day
and night. Over 100 ale now confined by
the complaint. The doctors believe it is
triChinosis, but the symptoms reported to
the State board, which has sent a repre-
sentative to Sabula, are those of cholera.
The doctors are exhausted and the town is
in a condition of panic.

FRIENDLY TO GROVER.
The Mississippian a Strong
Supporter of the Present
administration.
CLAIMED BY THE SOUTH.
1t Is Thought the Appointee VIII
Come From Below Mason and
Dixon'S Line.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. Elf Presi-
dent Cleveland concludes to go south of
Mason and Dixon's line in making his
selection of successor to the late Asso-
clate Justice of the Supreme Court jack
son, the friends of Hon. Thomas Catch
ings of Mississippi are of the opinion that
that Representative will receive the ap-
pointment.
Mr.. Catchings was one of the Democratic
leaders of the last Congress, and being the
second member of the important Commit
tee on Rules was the representative of
Speaker Crisp on the floor OF the House.
He was also chairman of the Committee
on Rivers and Harbors. Catchings is a
warm friend of the President, and has
always been strong supporter of the ad-
ministration. During the recent campaign
in Mississippi he made a thorough canvass
OF the State, making speeches in the inter-
est OF gold money. 1t was to Mr.. Catch
ings that the President addressed his
famous letter regarding the action of GER
tain Democratic members at the time of
the consideration of the Wilson bill.
Catchings was in the Confederate army !;
was elected member of the State Senate
for four years, but resigned upon his cleo
tion as Attorney General of the State In
1877; was renominated and reelected in
1881, but resigned at the time of his cleo
ton to the Forty-ninth Congress. OF which
body he has since been member. He is
member-elect to the Fifty-fourth Con-
gress.
Catchings' reputation as frst-class
lawyer extends throughout the South. He
has been engaged as counsel in many i'm
portant cases that have coms up for judi
cial determination in the Southern coun-
try. He took a leading part looking to the
REDEEM ption OF the Southern States during
the era of reconstruction when that section
was controlled by ringsters and those who
upheld "carpetbag" rule. His Southern
friends will make a strong and united ef-
fort to have him appointed.
The Supreme Court now consists of
three Democrats and five Republicans.
Justices White of Louisiana and Harlan OF
KentucKy, the latter Republican, are the
only Southern representatives on the
bench. The late Justice jackson was a
Tennesseean. This being the case the adj
mirers Of Mr.. Catchings are of the opinion
that the next appointee will be Southern

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Oct. 9.-For the first
time in the history of the Congregational
Church the triennial council met in the
Empire State to-day. The council will be
in session until next Monday evening.
The address of welcome, delivered by Rev.
E. n. Packard, DID,, of Syracuse, was fol-
lowed by remarks by Rev. DR.. Quint, the
retiring moderator.
Governor Nelson Dingley of Maine was
unanimously elected moderator. Rev.
Charles o. Brown of San Francisco and
Professor George w. Henderson of Strait
University, Louisiana, were chosen assist
ant moderators.
At the afternoon session the report of
the provisional committee was presented.
1t was suggested that special committee
be appointed at this session, charged with
the duty of correspondence with all other
bodies likely to be represented in the Sec
ond international council of Congregation
alism in Boston in 1900, and with any pre-
liminary arrangements which may be
found expedient.
1t referred to the death of two members
of the committee-Rev. NJ. w. Montgom-
cry OF Chicago, died February 6, 1894, and
Hamilton A. Hill of Boston, April 26,
1895. Mr.. Hill was fine specimen of an
intelligent and broad minded layman.
The history and traditions of the Old South
Church in Boston were represented in him
more appreciatively than in any other
man, and the two fine volumes in which
he had embodied them viii live as his me-
mortal.
This report was followed by that of Sec
retary Rev. II. A. Hazen of Boston. The
report Of the treasurer. Rev. Samuel B.
Forbes of Hartford, Conn, for the three
years ending July 81, 1895, was read. The

A DAY OF REJOICING.
Thirty Thousand People Take
Part in the Imposing
Ceremony.
OVERFLOW WITH PATRIOTISM.
Wild Enthusiasm When Sympathy
for Struggling Cubans Is
Declared.

ATLANTA, GA, Oct. 9.-With the most
impressive ceremonies that have yet
marked the progress of the Cotton States
exposition. the historic old Liberty Bell
was to-day formally placed in charge of
the Atlanta authorities. The ceremonies
took place on the broad stairs leading up
to the stately Pennsylvania building, the
handsomest in the beautiful park and on
the most attractive site.
The day was full of incidents, some of
them of striking character, but the most
significant was the declaration of SYM
pathy with the cause of Cuba, made with
dramatic effect by both Governor Atkin-
son of Georgia and Mayor Warwick of
Philadelphia, both of whom aroused wild
enthusiasm from the great crowd that
heard them.
Again was there dram attic scene when
Mayor Warwick, in the course of his bril-
liant grafton, turned to Miss Eleanor War
ren Marshall, who was on the platform,
and introduced her as the great-gran d.
daughter OF the illustrious Supreme Court
Justice at whose funeral the venerated
relic had tolled for the last time. Miss
Marshall, in a strikingly handsome gown,
looked very pretty. She is brunette, slen-
der and graceful, and her eyes filled with
tears and she trembled with emotion as
the Philadelphia Mayor paid her the most
graceful compliment ever paid in public to
young woman.
He eloquently thanked Miss Marshall
for the privilege of greeting the descendant
of so illustrious man, and declared that
the emotion that filed his breast at that
moment would never be forgotten; that he
would tell his children of the honor be,
slowed upon him and bid them cherish the
memory of this day to the end of their
lives.
Through solid line of people the bell
was escorted to its resting-place in Pied
mont Park. The procession was dignified
the people enthusiastic and the crowd
within the grounds the largest since the
opening of the exposition. Fully 30,0O(
people were on hand, more than one-thiro
of them being children, the public schools
having closed IN honor of the bell.
The special military escort was the
famous Fifth Regiment, United States In
fantry,- until recently the fighting com
mand of General Nelson A. Miles. Gov.
ernoF Atkinson and his staff came next
and then came the Fifth Regiment,
Georgia National Guard, 600 strong; the
Atlanta Artillery and the crack Governors
Horse Guards. Following the military
pageant was long string OF open car
riages eseorting the Mayors OF PhiIa-
delphIa and Atlanta.
Mayor Porter KING of Atlanta in a
forcible speech formally welcomed the
bell, and Mayor Warwick and Governor
Atkinson responded.

TWO NEW CUP DEFENDERS
American Yachtsmen Will Not
Depend Upon the Defender
Next Year.
Hereshoff to Construct an Ocean
Flyer to Meet the English
Challenge.

BRISTOL, r. l., Oct. 9.-The season of
1896 will be the greatest ever known in the
history OF yachting. Already notices of
the building of five boats have come from
Canada and Great Britain, and there will
be positively one and in all probability
two built in this country.
The story week ago that Hereshoff was
to build a boat for rich syndicate with
III. S. Munyon of Philadelphia at its head,
has been source of speculation among all
yachtmen in the East. There is absolutely
nothing being given out from official
sources as yet, but the rumor itself is true.
To-day, however, new sensation was
sprung, as it was announced authorita-
lively that new cup defender was to be
built by the cup committee. Additional
truth is given to the statement by the
knowledge that during the past week
members of the committee have been Wis
iting the Hereshoff yards and have had
several consultations with. the veteran de-
signer.
were was not given out, but it is the gem
eral opinion that it was concerning the
building of a new yacht.
Nat Hereshoff, when seen to-day, stated
that in all probability new cup defender
would be built during the coming year.
In fact, he had received an lntlmation to
that effect, but was not privileged to give
the names of the hackers of the scheme.
~ look for the greatest year ever known
in the history of America cup races, and it
would be absolute folly for me to depend
on the Defender, although do not doubt
her ability to meet the best of the numer-
Gus challengers which are being built. In
these days, when each year sees such
strides made in yachting, it would, to say
the least, be very rash. A great many
people have underestimated the strength
of the Valkyrie.
'She is not the poor boat that many
people think. She is the finest boat ever
sent to compete for the cup, and better
than anything ever built in this country
before the Defender. The Defender is a
wonder; in fact she astonishes even me by
her performances. Yes, there will be a
new boat next year."
This announcement is authoritative, and
sets aside all rumors to the effect that the
Defender would enter the field alone next

canonicaI causes for the removal of a
Primate. The words were stricken out.
Dr. Murdoch of North Carolina moved
to reconsider the vote of the previous day
whereby the title of Presiding Bishop was
rejected, but the motion was lost by vote
of 149 to 157.
DR.. Hodges of Massachusetts, moved to
insert the paragraph relating to tenure OF
Office of a Primate, the words "Unless he
resign or be removed by majority OF
those entitled to vote in the House Of
Bishops" This motion was adopted by a
vote of 156 to 81.
The house was about to take vote on
DR.. Huntington's substitute when DR..
Hodges came to the front with still an
other, which in effect approved the clause
as it came from the Bishops with the word
"Primate," and with the provision that
the Primate shall hold Office for life unless
he resign or be removed from that Office
by a vote of the majority of the Bishops
entitled to vote ID the House of Bishops.
Although portions of this substitute had
been previously voted down when pre-
sented as a main question, the chairman
ruled that it was germane and covered all
the points of the amendments and substi-
tutes pending. Two or three parliament
tarians were on their feet to question this
ruling when the legislative day expired
and the committee arose.
The House of Bishops to-day decided to
divide the jurisdiction now known as the
diocese of Wyoming and Idaho, and give
one diocese to each State. Bishop Talbot,
however, will continue to have joint iuris-
diction. 1t was also decided to attach the
vacant missionary Bishopric of Western
Colorado to the diocese of Nevada and
Utah, and Bishop Abiel Leonard will here
after be known as Bishop of Nevada, Utah
and Western Colorado.

NEED ARMS AND AMMUNIrIoN.
Cuban Patriots Handicapped in Their
Struggle for Freedom.

Struggle for Freedom.
NEW YORK, n. Y, Oct. 9.-"There
are now 10000 men in the Cuban insurgent
army and volunteers would easily swell
the forces to $4,000 if more arms and
ammunition could be secured. The lack
OF it may prolong the war, but victory in
the end is believed to be certain"
This was the burden of a letter received
from General Joseph Rodriguez by Cen
eral Estrada Palma at the Cuban head
quarters, &c Broadway, yesterday. Gen
eral Rodriguez is chief of staff of General
Roloff, the commander-in-chief.
The letter was dated at Las Villas and
related in detail the efforts of General
Rodriguez in organizing the forces in that
part of Cuba. Fully 10000 men, cavalry
and infantry, were drilled under General
Rodriguez. He caused these forces to be
placed in two divisions, the first of which
was placed in command of General Serafn
Sanchez, and the second under General
Manuel Suarez. Each division includes
two brigades, and in each brigade are
three regiments. These forces, General
Rodriguez writes, are now occupying the
territory of Santa Clara, Santa Spirlto,
Remedies, Sagua and Cienfuesos. Every
day, it is declared, companies of young
men from 100 to 150 in number, filled with
enthusiasm for the cause, volunteer to join
the inSurgent army.
