MISS CLARK FOUND.
The Long-Missing Teacher TraiIed
by a Detective.

Syracuse, n. Y. Aug. 26.-AIiss Lucretia
Clark, the school teacher who mysteriously
disappeared from Plainheld, n. J.. Aug.
8. has been found. She was discovered
to-day at the home of ex-AIayor Charles
S. Hayden. at FItchburg, Mass, by De-
tective Beck Of New York. who has been
at work on the case since last Friday.
Detective Beck arrived in this city to-
night with Miss Clark in charge.
1t was discovered that on Friday noon
of her disappearance she had visited Ma
cy's store. The detective continued 10
work upon the case and the main clew
that led to the finding of Miss Clark was
received ia a letter. Detective Beck's
name had become known in connection
with the mystery, and on the second day
of his Investigations he received seversl
anonymous letters threatening him with
bodily harm If he persisted in following
up the case.
Beck states that the woman became
mentally deranged and knew nothing of
what transpired after leaving Mays
store. Unconscious of her actions. she
beaded a night boat bound for Provi-
dence
When she reached Boston Miss Clark
went TO a boarding house on fremont
street. On the morning of Aug. 10 she
appeared at an employment bureau and
asheu IOr pOsiuon as domestic. She
was given position In the Haydn family
of Fitchburg. Here she gave her name
as Mary Burke, and from that time until
this morning Miss Clark never left the
house, attending to her duties as a do
nestle in the closest manner.
The general appearance of Miss Clark
since she left Syracuse is greatly changed.
Part of her hair is cut short, and when she
descended from the train she was dressed
in black from head to foot A long black
veil covered her head and face and she
spoke to no one until the Sweet residence
was reached. Her relatives refuse to talk,
only saving Miss Clark is very i'll.

BOODLERs SENTENCED.
NOIIe PrOseGui in BOOdIer Bier's
Case and the Cause Therefor.

New Orleans, La, Aug. "a big crowd
assembled at the criminal court this morn
ing before the opening hour in anticipa-
ton Of sensational Developments. Henri
Bier. who was to have been sentenced on
CONVICTION of perjury; Maurice ]. Hart was
to plead TO three Of the nine indictments
recently found against him; Thomas Ha-
ley and Peter B. Caulheld. ex-city Doodle
cOuncilmen, convicted of Offering to re-
eeive a bride. were TO be either granted
a new trial or TO have sentence imposed
pom them; and Charles Barnes was to be
placed on trial for murder.
Maurice Hart was aTEiaigned before
Judge Noise on two charges of wilful per
jury and Of subornation of perjury. His
counsel presented a general demurrer to
each Of the indictments. He was dis
charged on his bond until further noti-
fed. No time was set for argument on the
demurrer.
Haley and caulheld were then brought
before the court. There were two motions
to dispose of in their case-a motion for
a new trial and a motion in arrest OF
judgment. The judge announced that he
had decided to refuse both motions and
proceeded to sentence the convicted coun-
cilmen.
How long have you been confined in
the parish prisonY' Judge Noise asked.
About two months ana a half" Haley
replied.
I'm view of the time you have already
been deprived of your liberty 1 will SEN
tence you to hard labor in the state PEN
itendary FOR a term or eight months"
The name Of Henri Bier, the convicted
capitalist, was not called. 1nls was
great surprise to many who had gone
TO the court to hear sentence pronounced
upon the wealthy stock broker and tinan-
cier. who had been convicted of the
crime of perjury, and who had been re-
fused a new trial. but 1t did not sur
prise those who have been carefully
watching the trend of events of late
around the criminal court. Henri Bier
sat in a carriage in charge of a deputy
in front of the court house. The reason
that he was not called up for sentence
is because District Attorney Butler re-
quested Judge Noise this morning to de
fer, and it Is understood to have been
deferred indefinitely.
1t can be stated as an assured fact that
the district attorney will enter a mol
pross in Henri Biers case, which Will
make him a free man, a man who, al
though convicted and called up for SEN
tence on the crime or perjury, will in
the eyes Of the law be an innocent man
whose testimony will be accepted in a
court of justice and whose testimony in
cases to be tried In the future is eX-
pected to be of great value and weight.

CHAIRMAN HARRITY's RETURN.
His Opinion of the Present Political
Situation.

Philadelphia, Aug. 26.-Chairman Will
lam f. Harrity of the democratic national
committee arrived at his office this after
noon from his European trip. On the sub
ject of politics the chairman said he had
not been back long enough to get posted
yet and he inquired particularly about the
condition of the fight in the republican
ranks. ''They appear to be going on the
superstition" he said, that the repubh-
can majority is so large that they can
fight all they want to-" He gave close at
tention to history Of the struggle, but
made no comments.
On the subject of national politics, he
said there was very little to say. He did
no think either of the national committees
would meet before December Congress
meets in that month and with the meet
ing or congress there is generally gath
ering of the politicians from all over the
country at Washington. To call a meet
ing of the committees before that time,
he said, would put many of the members
to unnecessary inconvenience. In speak
ing of an early or late national convention,
he thought late convention would natur-
ally mean about September, which would
leave too short time for a thorough cam
paign.

POLITICS IN KENTUCKY.
Fourth of the series OF Joint Debates
Held Yesterday.

Bowling Green. Ky, Aug. 2s.-The fourth
Of the series OF joint debates between
Hardin and Bradley attracted an immense
crowd to-day. democrats. republicans. pop
ulists. and prohibitionists fiocking here
from Warren, Simpson. Logan, Butler, Al
len and Barren counties Not less than
5000 people heard the debate. Col. Brad
ley opened in an address OF l hour and
Is minutes, after which Gen. Hardin re-
piled in a speech of l hour and 80 minutes
and then Mr.. Bradley replied in rejoin-
der of Is minutes. Referring TO the negro
question, Col. Bradley repeated his state
ment that he was opposed TO the enact
ment of a law similar to that passed IN New
York allowing the negroes to enjoy equal
rights with the white people in hotels and
opera houses.
Bradley said in reply to Hardin: Il
want to settle the question as to my stand
on dhe currency question l am for a gold
standard. do you hear!
Hardin made one of his old time speeches
calling on every democrat to stand by the
party and to support man who would
not betray his principles.
Frankfort, KY, Aug. 26.-Messrs. Nc
Creary, Blackburn and Buckner. the three
senatorial candidates, mounted the stump
to-day and made ringing speeches, but,
strange to say, no two were alike on the
money question.
Ex-Gov. Blackburn went to Flemings-
burg, and before an immense audience
delivered one of his characteristic sill
yer speeches. in which he declared for
Judas Iscariots money and the metal
Christ used
Congressman McCreary spoke TO a large
crowd at Princeton. an the course of his
speech Col. McCreary scored Hardin for
his free silver ideas.
At Glasgow Gen. Buckner was rendered
an ovation, free silver and gold men join
ing in welcoming ''Kentueky's grand old
man." He made a straightout sound
money speech.

THE sPoFFORD CASE.
Statement as to the Recent Deposit
in the Treasury.

Statement as to the Recent Deposlt
in the Treasury.
washington, Aug. 26.--In view of the con-
structions that have been placed upon Mr..
spofford's statement that he recently paid
to the treasury a sum of $22, 400 on his
account, the librarian of congress desires
that the following explanation be made
public:
He states that the payment was what
he had found to be the approximate ball
ance between two accounts-the treasury
owing him for several monthly disburse-
ments of library salaries, and he owing
the treasury copyright fees, the adjust
ment of which had been delayed by his
engrossment in pressing labors, preventing
close scrutiny and prompt balancing OF
accounts.
During the entire time Of this delay,
running from October, 1898, he had con-
tinued to pay in the treasury every two
or three months copyright fees to the
amount of over $4,000. in 1894 and 1895, ex-
elusive of the So 400 referred 70.
This was the plain state OF the case,
delayed adjustment of accounts and not
a shortage as had been widely reported.
He distinctly denied that the recent de-
post was TO make good any wrongful
withholding OF moneys due 20 the gov
eminent.

a strange poisoning of 800 persons in at

at the conclusion OF the morning services
the people congregated about the tables
for dinner. Half an hour later men, wom-

agony Entire families succumbed to the
strange disorder.
The grove was converted into a hos

administered to the wants Of the suffer-

The most accepted belief is that the

ONLY OBEYED ORDERS.

An Opinion From Paris About the
Castfne Incident.
Paris, Aug. 26.-The Temps asserts that,
contrary TO the statement made by Com
mander Perry. of the American gunboat
Castine. concerning the attempt of
French officials to prevent some of the
Castine's officers from landing at Tama-
tave, Madagascar, that the officers were
already ashore when the doctor and har-
bormaster boarded the warship to ex-
anime her papers. Although an order of
the commander of the naval station for
bids landing without authority from him,
some of the Castine's officers disregarded
the order. The paper adds that the oA-
cials who opposed the landing of the Amer
leans were only obeying this order.
