ELKINS' STRANGE TALE.
A Rich Mans Son Is Caught Wandering
Airnlcssiy About Jersey City-llis Pc.
culinr ExplouatiOn

Jersey City, May ia young man
who claims to be Frank Elkins. q
years old, of Fairmount avenue, Phila-
delphia, was picked up by the Union
Hill police early this morning wander
ing aimlessly about the streets. He ap-
peared to be half dazed. His clothing
consisted of ragged coat and dirty
pair of overalls. He had on a pair of
light russet shoes, but wore no hat.
After he had had a good sleep he was
more rational and was able to answer
questions. The story he tells is rather
sensational. The police are inclined to
doubt it, He is the son OF wealthy par
ents, he says. His father is supern-
tendent of a traction company in
Philadelphia, and is one of the best
known and most influential residents
of the Quaker City. Friday night. the
young man says, he left home to meet
a friend. Later he stopped at house
of Ill reput. He had several drinks, be-
came unconscious and knew no more
until he awoke to find himself In cell
in a town many miles from his home.
When he started out Friday evening,
he says, he wore a new spring suit, a
gold watch and chain worth $3.50, a
diamond pin worth $125 and had $67 In
his inside pocket. He says he cannot
understand how he got to Union Hill.
He refused to give his fathers name or
address, or to state what traction COM
pany he is superintendent of. His ex-
cuse for refusing to do so was that he
did not care to have his parents wor-
ried or disgraced. The police will in
vestigate his story.
Philadelphia, May 13.-Inquiry was
made here tonight as to the where
abouts of the relatives of Frank Elkins,
the young man who was picked up by
the police early this morning while
wandering around the streets Of Jer-
sey City, N. ]. There is no one named
Elkins connected with the superintend-
ency of any traction company here out
side Of William l.. Elkins, the railway
magnate, who knows nothing Of the
young man, and no one here can be
found to offer anything in substantial
ton of his story.

DRANK A QUART OF WHISKY.
Joseph Swartz Entcrtnins His Friends and
Then Drops Dcnd.


Shamokin, Pa. May ia crowd OF
men this morning went into a saloon
with joseph s'wartZ to see him drin,S n
quart OF whisky for a wager, and they
emerged In little while bearing his
corpse. 1t was Il tradition that Swartz
could drink two quarts of the reddest
liquor at one time. and when the ques-
tion arose as to whether he could swal-
low the quart Joe shrugged his shoul-
ders contemptuously without cere-
mony he ordered the fiery liquor. Down
his throat coursed the stuff, and his
eyes sparkled. Finally the last drop
was down, and Joe cast triumphant
glance at his companions. Then he
sang a song and danced jig.
His brain had been truned, and he
said his nerves tingled as though
thousand needles were pricking him.
Faster went his feet, until he suddenly
threw his arms in the air and grew
deathly pale. He groaned, dropped to
the floor, and the merry shouts Of his
comrades died into excamationls of
alarm. They rushed to his side and he
seemed In awful agony, but unable to
speak. He became senseless in a few
minutes and then died.

PRESIDENT CATCHES FISH.
Mr.. Cleveland Surprises His Friends with
Seventeen Specified Beauties.

.
Seventeen Spcckicd Beauties.
Washington, May 13.-Mr. Cleveland
has surprised fishermen in this section
OF the country In being able to find
trout In stream within fifty miles Of
Washington. Such a thing had been
unheard Of until yesterday morning,
when several friends Of the president
received presents of "speckled beau
ties" brought back by him. The size
Of catch has dwindled today from first
reports. and Mr.. Cleveland is now
credited with only seventeen trout.
The family at Woodley are making
arrangement for going away for the
summer. 1t is likely that Gray Gables
will see Mrs. Cleveland nd the chill
dren by the first of June and the presi-
dent will accompany them there, re-
turning to Washington for a short stay
as soon as they are settled.
Mr.. Cleveland Is understood to have
been negotiating for the purchase of
another cottage near his summer home,
but for what purpose is not known.
