Reunited After Forty Dreary Years.

WINAMAc, IND, September By
the accidental dropping of diamond
ring at the station here today a hus-
band and wife, who had been separated
for forty years, were reunited, and
they left together for the East on the
noon train. DR.. Charles Mott, of Bos-
ton, Mass, stepped from the Chicago
train on the Panhandle Road, to leave
dispatch with the operator. AS he
walked toward his car lady leaned
from the window of another car and
asked the doctor to hand her dia-
mond ring, which had just slipped from
her finger, and was lying at his feet.
DR.. Mott picked up the ring, and the
inscription on the inside caught his
eve 1t read Charles Mott to Veral
Burns" In amazement he looked at
the woman who dropped the ring,
and at the same time she cried out :
Charles, my husband !"
Dr. Mott hastily sprang up the
steps of the car and clasped in his
arms the wife who fled from him in
anger 40 years before. There were
a few hurried questions on both sides,
but the JOY of the reunion overshad-
owed every other feeling, and the hap
Ply couple sat talking rapidly and ten
derby to one another as the rolled away
toward Massachusetts,, bearing the hus-
band and wife who had long and bit
terly regretted the separation which
came about through mistake so long
ago. In 1855 DR.. Charles Mott was
a well-known young physician of Bos-
ton, with large practice and posi-
ton in society. He fell in love with
Miss Veral Burns, Of South Canter-
bury, Conn, aud they were married.
But the happiness of the union were
short lived. Mrs. Mott was Jealous OF
her husband, and many bitter quarrels
resulted. One stormy night when her
husband had been detained very late
by lady patient, the crazed wife de-
termined to stand it no longer, and
packing a few personal effects she
started out in the storm, leaving no
trace of her whereabouts. For years
the doctor sought for his wife all over
the country. He gave up his bust
ness and travelled, seeking in every
town and city some trace Of the wo-
man who had fed from him. At last
be gave up the search and sought for
tune and forgetfulness in the noun
tains of Montana. He became very
wealthy in few years, and has of late
spent much time travelling. Today
he was on his way to New England
to revisit the scenes of his childhood
when the happy accident occurred
which reunited him to his long lost
wife.

The report from Santiago SAYS: "The

dicated by the report from Puerto

latter place is crowded and the disease
is OF the most malignant type. This
place Is near the center of the island of
Cuba, which would indicate that the
disease Is virulent and epidemic and

and the western end OF the island.
San Juan is the capital OF the island
OF Puerto Rico, the most eastern OF the
West Indies and one of the Spanish
possessions. The report from this point,

HosToN, July 11.-All Boston has
sounded with the enthusiasm of the
great army Of young Christians now
within her gates. The splendid welcome
that to- day was officially extended to
the So, 900 delegates to the grand Chris

their hearts and Tonight three msgnifl-

tents, Wildstone and Endeavor, was OK
ceeded tonight. In Mechanics building

Thus 1t was heard by go 600 people, for
In each OF the tents the endeavorers
were 10000 strong and at Mechanics
bull ldipg were gathered 5000 more.
The story 1t contained was one Of sue.
cess that exceeded hopes ALMOST audac-
ious In their extent and 1t evoked the
utmost enthusiasm, which was expressed
In such hosaDnas as modern Athens has
never heard before. The meeting In
Tent Wildstone tonight was perhaps
the greatest OF the three. The address
of Rev. Russell a. Conwell drew a great
crowd; an address by Rev. Teunis Ham
lin, D. d OF Washington, D. c., whose
subject WAS washington go" was q
very strong effort, while Mr.. w. II. Pen
nell, of Washington, D. c., spoke in
Tent Endeavor on the same subject.
Addresses by Dwight F. Moody, at
the Mechanics building, and by John
G Wooley, the noted Chicago temper
ance lecturer, who spoke in tent En-
deavor on the "Christian Endeavor VS..
the Saloon, were also great attrac tons.

gan. Eight hundred singers were in
cluded in that at Mechanics hall, and
each OF the tents had o quota of not less
than 600.

The Hardships He Endured-How marti
Died.
NEW YORK, July 11.-Frank Wood
ward, the Cuban war correspondent, ar
rived to-day by the steamer Ardandhu,
from Gibara, apparently none the worse
for his trying experiences in Cuba.
woodward, after many weeks OF hard
ships, managed to reach Gibsra. He
proceeded Immediately to the United
States consular agency, where he met
Jose b. Beola, q Spaniard who la not
only the United States consular agent,
but an officer in the Spanish army.
Beola, Woodward asserts, treated him
In most discourteous manner, ad visipg
him to give himself up to the Spanish
authorities, which would mean i'm
prisonment for long period. He was
compelled to seek the protec tion of the
British flag aboard the tramp steamer
Ardandhu, and through the kindness Of
captain walker. managed to reach home
alive. Beola, Woodward says, refused
30 recognize him as an American citizen.
and declined to communicate With Snn-
tiago de Cuba, where Mr.. Woodward
stated his papers had been filed with
Consul Hyatt, snd declared that ali
American reporters were paid by the
Cubans to write lies.
Woodward tells the following story of
the death OF General Marti of the
Cuban army; While Msrti, With about
200 Cubans, WAS accommodating in the
vicinity OF Gibara, he fell in with q
force OF Spanish troops numbering
nearly 1000 men, who were drawn up
on the banks of small river. The in
surgent scouts were about to retreat
when Marti ordered charge. The
Spsniards, taken by surprise, soon
formed square. General Marti, mounted
on large gray stallion, which he spurs
red furiously into q gallop. charged
maoiy on the Spanish square, breaking
down their ranks. The horse became
unmana9eable and plunged violently.
goaded and pierced by the Spsniard' g
bayonets. MART was dragged from his
horse and bsyoneted and his body after
wards riddled with bulieta.
