MISS JENNIE VANCE,
Who Disappeared from Martins Ferry
.--r - -. ,..ntnl

Who Disappeared from Martins Ferry
Several Years Ago. Located.
Last evenings Martins Ferry Times
said.-
The letter received from Miss Jennie
Vance. of Carey. o.. by Postmaster Ter
rin. making inquiries for her mother,
note of which was made in last even
ug's issue. solves q mystery, the de-
tails of which have long since been for
gotten. VIM Vance was moulder,
and worked at the foundry now owned
by Spence, BaggS d Co., when he was
killed by an accident along about 1878.
Shortly after this his daughter, then a
young girl i'm her teens. mysteriously
disappeared and nothing, it seems,
was ever heard of her from that day
until this. Her widowed mother was
grieyed beyond expression and no pains
were spared to locate the missing
daughter. but all to no effect. The
usual rUmOrs and speculations as to
suicide and abduction were INDUCED
in by the community, but after Il whila
the case was given up as much OF u
mystery as when it occurred. Mrs.
Vance has since married. and is now a
Mrs. Anderson. of Steubenville. The
letter received from Carey, O., was
secured to-day by Robert Graham, Of
Third street, who is brother OF Mrs.
Anderson. and il was sent 70 her. 1t
win no doubt be received as a revela-
ton from one whom she had long since
mOurned as dead.

WAS ALL B0SH.
Nothing in the Report That a Bridge
Port School Building Was in Dan
ger of Tumbling Down,

That was a dizzy story published yes
terday to the effect that one OF the
school buildings at Bridgeport was in
an unsafe condition on account Of an
earthquake or something Of that sort.
The facts in the case were given TO a
Register reporter by a responsible citl-
zen of Bridgeport last evening, and far
from warrant the publication referred
to.
There was a slight tremor Of the
building felt by one of the teachers
Wednesday afternoon, and becoming
frightened and thinking the building
might be on the verge Of tumblins
down. she dismissed the school and
notified the School Board Of the oc-
currence. The report published said
that two cracks appeared, running
almost the entire length OF the build
ing. when the fact of the matter is
that there are two cracks in the north
wall of the building about thirty-siX
inches in length, which have been
there for a matter OF twelve years or
more.
Yesterday afternoon Messrs. VIM.
Kidd and James Clark, contractors, ac-
Companied by the members of the
School Board, examined the building,
and instead of finding it in "a dilapi-
dated condition, as reported, it was
found to be all right, and those gentle
men pronounced it perfectly safe and
said that it was not necessary to tear
the building down.

A SHORT SUPPLY OF WATER

On the Island, Last Night-The Main Cut
at the Wharf, and a Line of Hose Laid
Over the Bridge.
There was a very limited supply Of
water on the Island, last night, and
doubtless a good many people over
there wondered what was the matter.
The Island is supplied by ten-inch
main which runs down the wharf at
the south end of the Old "Pewiky' sta
ton building, at the foot of Eleventh
street. The pipe was in the way Of
the excavations for the new building,
and had to be changed, and Supt. Var
ney. of the water department, had all
preparations made yesterday 10 quick
Is do the work. Last evening Fire
Chief Healy laid a line of hose 1900
feet long from the pulg at LOgan's cor
ner, over the suspension bridge to q
plug at Virginia and Zane streets, and
the water was turned through it into
the Island system of pipes. The water
was then shut OFF from the ten-inch
main at Eleventh street, and the valve
closed down at South Front and Ohio
streets. and the work of moving the
pipe on the wharf was commenced and
completed during the night, the water
supplied by the line Of hose being SUI
ficient in the meanwhile to afford at
least drinking water for Island citi-
Zens. Supt. Narney is entitled to COM
mendation for this eXpedient to avoid
cutting Off the supply entirely

\ CHASTITY FIND,
Made BY Dog Up at brilliant a Few
Days Ago.

Made by Dog Up at Brilliant re"
Days Ago.
The good people Of Brilliant are very
much exercised over a CHASTITY find
brought 10 light by q dog. For several
DAYS in succession a bird dog belong
inc 10 Detective Schiller of the & +.
road. has been carrying home portions
of what is evidently the body Of man.
Large pieces of flesh, ribs and an arm
have been taken from the dog, and the
attention OF Mr.. Schiller being drawn
TO the affair he shut the dog up. After
letting the dog get hungry he let him
loose again with the purpose OF nndlng
ont where he got his ghOulish meals.
The deg went straight TO the mill,
about q square away. The mill has
not been in operation for eighteen
months and the dog went down under
some machinery into an excavation
and could not be induced TO return
until he had satisfied himself. This
time he brought nothing with him,
but came out licking his chops. 1t Is
thought that i'm the hole there was
dead body. or at least what remains
after fcasts by the dogs. No one has
ventured I'm to rescue the body and it
is doubtful if any one viii. nor could
the body he very easily rescued. No
one has been missed from the town
and no cases Of foul play can be re
membered by the people of that COM
munity. 10 is thought some poor un-
fortunate tramp has crawled into the
place during the winter and was frozen.
The opening is a hole made for an
entrance TO a sewer and leads to the
pit for the valves under the boilers.
