Ex-Governor Russell Dead.

Ex-Governor VIM. E. Russell
of Massachusetts,, was found dead
last Thursday morning III his
fishing camp in Adelaide, near
Grand Pabos, Quebec. He pass
ed through Montreal in the best
of health and was then on his
way to the salmon grounds in
Gaspe. 1t appears that the
people who accompanied Elk,
Governor Russell were his broth
er and +. Peabody, from Boston.
Their camp was near the Little
Pabos river, where they had been
fishing all day Wednesday, when
the Ex-Governor seemed in the
very best of health. The tent
in which they slept was divided
into two compartments, and as
the Ex-Governor slept alone the
others never knew that he was
dead until late Thursday morn
ing, when they thought 1t was
time to wake him.

RATS GNAWED AT HIM.
Terrible Sufferings on a Water
Logged Ship in Florida
Waters.

After almost incredible suffer
ing, Albert Jackson was rescued
on Thursday near St. Andrew s
Bay, Fla, from the schooner
Jessie P, which was wrecked by
the great storm that swept over
the Gulf ten days ago. When
the Jessie 2. left St. Andrews S
Bay for Pensacola on the Sth
there were several passengers on
board, one of whom was Jackson.
The vessel was caught III the
STORM and was deserted by the
crew, who took with them in
the boats all the passengers save
Jackson. The latter was asleep
in the cabin at the time and was
forgotten. Those who escaped
soon missed Jackson, but the
storm was too fierce to put back,
and the missing man was sup
posed to have gone down with
the vessel. The Jessie ?. did
not go down, however, and
Thursday her Waterlogged hulk
was sighted and boarded by iish>
ernen from a smack.
AS the fishermen were walks
ing about the deck they heard
faint rapping i'll the cabin. The
matches were battened down, but
the fishermen broke them open
and entered the cabin. As they
entered they saw the form of
Jackson OH the floor and a NUM-
Der of large rats gEawing at his
legs. As the rats gnawed, Jack
son although unconscious, would
strike his feet against the floor,
and it was this that caused the
rapping. The rats were very
fierce, and left their prey reluc-
tantly as the fishermen approach

Jackson was taken On deck,
and after several hours was re-
vived sufficiently to tell OF his

perate but futile attempts to
burst open the matches. There
were a few biscuits and little |
water in the cabin, but the bread |

fought the rats off till his
strength failed and he became
unconscious. He had been un-
conscious two days when res
cued. Jackson's legs are horri>

a Remarkable incident.

The unprecedented rainfall OF

The cemetery is on a hillside,
with a steep slope towards But>
Ter street, and is surrounded
with a ten-foot stone wall. The
wall retained the water until it
formed a lake ten feet deep. Then
the wall gave way and water

MUTINY AND MURDER.
STARS AND STRIPES AT
HALF-MAST ABOVE A
BLACK FLAG.
THE MATE SUSPECTED.
Captain Nash and His Wife and
Second Officer Banberry
Killed With an axe
While Asleep.

The barkentine Herbert Full>
er. Capt. Nash, from Boston July
5th for Rosario, put into Halifax,
N. S., Tuesday morning flying
the Stars and Stripes at half
mast with a black flag immedi
ately beneath. This is the signal
for "Mutiny on board" When
the Fuller was boarded it was
learned that murder had been
added to mutiny, that Captain
Nash, his wife Laura, and Second
Officer Banberry had been killed
III their hunks while asleep. The
murders had been committed
with All axe. The rooms i'll
which the victims lay were cover
ed with blood, showing that a
severe struggle had taken place
and the bodies were horribly
mutllated. The cook, Jonathan
Sheer, Of Rocaio, suspected the
mate, Thomas Brown, and sue
ceeded in placing Brown in
irons, and he afterwards ironed
the man who was at the wheel at
the time the murder was cons
mitted. Upon the arrival of the
vessel all On board, including
Frank Monch, of Boston, who
was passenger, were placed un-
der arrest. The United States
consul there has telegraphed to
Washington for instructions. 1t
appears that the murder was
committed at 2 o'clock on the
night of the 5th instant. When
all was quiet On board and those
below were sleeping soundly,the
murderer or murderers craWled
into the cabin, descended and
with axes chopped their victims
to death.
The bodies of the victims were
all placed in a boat and covered
with canvass, and were towed
behind the vessel.

You naturally lose flesh in
the summer and running down
is so easy. You get a little
weaker each day without hard
ly noticing it. There is loss OF
appetite, headache, weakness
of the muscles, disturbed sleep,
weakness ofmemory, and these
are the beginning of nervous
prostration. Iron and tonics
and bitters may afford some
temporary relief, but what you
need is a food for body, brain

her father and saw Mrs Robbins
cutting her fathers throat with
All axe. He was dead when she
got up. Just then Nettie ran
III and Mrs. Robbins chopped
her to death. Grace THEN ran
out to give the alarm to the
nearest shanty boat, and was
struck twice by the axe in her
flight. Then the infuriatcd
woman struck down Ottie and
pursued Loll:e, striking her once
before she jumped into the river,
and throwing the axe and hitting
her while she was in the river.
Lollie clung to the willows and
managed to get ashore. Calls
head was nearly cut off and so
was Nellie's.
Lollie's right arm is nearly
severed at the shoulder. The

Her Fate Foretold in a Dream

Persons living OH the border
line of Kent county, Maryland
are much excited over the mys,
terious disappearance of Lille
Lorah, a pretty and intelligent
young woman of twenty years.
She has been missing since Mon
day, and the general opinion is
that she has either been abducted
or murdered. She acted as
housekeeper for John Reed, a
farmer. On Monday evening
she visited her mother, and at
the time spoke of meeting two
strange men OH the road. When
she returned her sister accompa
MED her to the woods, a short
distance from the house. This
was the last seen of the girl. A
search resulted in the finding OF
a glove and handkerchief and
some vegetables given her by her
mother. Detectives and search>
ing parties are at work on the
case, but have found no trace OF
the missing girl. Her parents
hold to the theory of murder
basing their belief on a dream
the girl had recently. In this
she said she was captured by two
men while walking near her
home.

The CONQUERING HERO.
GREAT OVATION TO BRYAN
ON HIS RETURN.
AMONG HIS OWN PEOPLE
All Lincoln Turn Out to
do Him Honor.

Amidst an uproar Of booming
cannon, pealing church bells
screaming whistles and the
shouts of twenty thousand peo-
pie, William J. Bryan, the Dem
ocratic nominee for President
entered Lincoln, the capital city
of Nebraska, Friday evening" 1t
was an ovation the like of which
the people Of that part Of the
country never before witnessed.
Half the population Of the city
-men, women aud children
were III the depot to welcome
him home. It was a non parts
san reception for both Democrats
and Republicans participated i'll
it, The Mayor OF the city, the
City Council and distinguished
citizens Of every political belief
were at the train. AS far as the
eye could reach were thronged
streets, crowded windows and
enthusiastic shouters OH the roof
of the houses. There were
bands of music. men carrying
banners with notices compli-
mentary to the leader, and flags
and bunting hanging from the
fronts of business houses and
dwellings. All this enthusiastic
display occurred in spite of the
fact that the sky was overcast
with dull, heavy cloud, and
drizzling rain was falling. All
day long excursion trains have
been bringing in people from the
surrounding country, and by
night the whole town was in a
turmoil of enthusiastic delight.
From the time Mr.. Bryan and
his family left Kansas City until
they reached home there was a
continuous ovation. At Kansas
City Judge O. M. Spencer gen.
eral counsel for the Burlington
road, had his private car attacks
ed to the train. He was accom-
panied by his wife aud bright
baby boy, and they did much to
make it pleasant for the free
silver nominee and family. AS
soon as Mr.. Bryan and his family
alighted from the train they
were driven to their home,
where friends and neigh bors had
prepared a feast for them. The
house was elaborately decorated
with flags and bunting, and the
lawns We're hung with electric
lights. From their home they
were driven in a carriage, escort
ed by Bryan marching clubs and
military bands to the State
House, where they received the
citizens Of the capital city. The
great corridor beneath the doom
of the capital was banked with
ferns and tropical plants. Mr..
and Mrs. Bryan stood beneath
the doom and thousands of citi-
zens passed through from north
to south and were presented to
them
When the reception was over
Mr.. Bran went to a platform
erected at the north end of the
State House, where he addressed
what is said to have been the
largest congregation OF people
ever assembled, III Lincoln.
His speech was short, for there
was a most unpleasant drizzling
rain falling. There was no III
troductory speech.
Mr.. Bryan was among his own
people and needed none.
