WAsHlNGroN, Pa, March 13.--The Lane
murder mystery, so.called, has been
cleared up. Since the summer of 1888,
Harry Lane was supposed to have been
waylaid and killed, presumably for the
purpose of robbery. Lanes brother now
says that Harry went to Eediker's station
the night he disappeared, where be took a
Baltimore Il Ohio train for Wheeling, w.
Va. lie then went to Chicago, where he
remained three months and went TO Da-
kota. From there he went to Manitoba
where he is now hauling lumber.
His brother Daniel and Stewart Early of
this place, have been aware ~of his being
alive for several months. Daniel Lane
says he has received several letters from
him and that before leaving Harry had
arranged the bloody handkerchief and
other things and placed them where they
we're found on the night of his disappear
ance. The arrival AZ home of his riderless
horse, the finding OF u bloody handker-
chief in the highway about two miles
from his home and the utter disappear
ance OF every other trace of him or his
personal belongings made up the rest OF q
iirst-class murder mystery,
This supposed murder was one of pre-
ceding series and the commotion it created
was not confined TO this community. The
Washington County Commissioners offered
liberal rewards for the discovery OF his
body or evidence to help apprehend his
supposed assassins.
For weeks and months organized and
unorganized bands of searchers hunted in
vain Acres of land in different sections
were dug up with spade and maddox
Detectives from abroad and local sleuthS

less cues for nothing.
In the light of recent developments
much OF this seems absurd, but the case
has its tragic elements. Lanes young wifi
lost her reason, his father assigned, anC
innocent men were more or less accused o.
the murder and threatened with private
| vengeance.

QUIET Ar NEW orr EANS.


Calm Follows Tuesdays Wild Excite
ment--No Negroes ON the Leyee.
Associated Press Dispatch by 3ps;lal Wirea
New ORLEANS, La, March l3.--The
day after the riot found everything quiet
in New Orleans. There were no negroes
on the levee.
Where yesterday crowds of excited
workncn armed with all kinds OF
weapons patrolled the river front, moth
ing was TO be seen this morning but
squads of policemen discussing the
affair of yesterday and its probable out
come.
The police did not wait until actual
shooting began before they took action,
as was the case yesterday morning.
Word was sent to all precinct COM
manders last night to have their forces
on the river front Mt daylight this morn
ing. Consequently the police were on
hand in large numbers TO prevent re.
petition of Yesterdays bloody affair.
There was heavy fog hanging over
the river all morning, and the police
were under the impression that the
rioters would again take advantage Of
this fact and commit deeds of violence,
But this belief did not materiali2c, for
Tie simple reason that not negro put
in an appearance on the levee. Every
colored man whose business calls him
to the river front took day OIL to-day
and very sensibly kept ut home.
At meeting of the agents held last
night they decided in view of the un-
settled state of affairs it would be bad
policy to attempt 10 work their colored
laDar. They realize that the white
srrewmen have been worked up TO q
pitch of fury aud that if an attempt
was made TO work to-day that more
blood would be spilled. The result WAS
that all ships that we're being loaded by
agents employing colored labor are tu'
disturbed to-day. There are, however
4 dozen or more ships receiving their
cargo but they ale bundled by white
men and are not being bothered. From
present appearances all the trouble on
the levec is over and unless something
usual happens there will be no repetl-
ton of yesterdays rlnting.
THE GOVERNOR DETERMINED.
Governor Foster said this morning
that he had requested another meeting
Of all exchanges, various military cont
lnauders and other interested parties,
which will be held some time to-day, to
discuss the situation. lie added;

The Latest Electrical Girl.

The latest electrical girl to be heard
from is Jennie Moran, who lives near
Sedalia, Mo. One of her many alleged
wonderful powers is that of illuminat-
ing room by her presence. This
she can do or not do, just as she
chooses. The most marvellous thing,
however, about the feat is that human
eyes have not yet been able to see
where the light comes from. On
entering a dark room, it is at once as
light rs day, if she wills, but when
she goes out the light is extinguished.
When producing the phenomena no.
body dares touch her, on penalty of
death. She seems to be charged with
all the electrical bolts of live wire.
The personal atmosphere that sur
rounds her at such times repels. and
thus has saved many from injury. A
cat was pick d mp by the girl while
charged, and was instantly killed.
In fact, she is admitted to be an
actual living dynamo. Even during
ordinary times, when she is s. near
the normal as she ever gets, terrific
shocks are experienced by those who
take hold of her hands. One gentle
man, Henry J. Ashcroft, who was in
vestigating the case, endeavored to
undergo the torments of the girls
powers, but at the end of few seconds
was unconscious. After recovering,
he found that his gold watch had
turned black. So. at least, the stories
run IN the local papers. New York
Trihune
