RESCUED BY HIS WIFE,
Rev. George Francis Dillon
Traced to an Insane
Asylum.
Now There Is Said to B Considerable
Mystery Attached to the Priests
Marriage.

PITTSBURG, Pa, April 25.-Investiga-
ton into the disappearance of George
Francis Dillon, weli-known Catholic
clergyman, and Miss Ross Donovan, both
of Braddock, develops the fact that they
were married at Windsor Hotel, Cumber-
land, Nd, November Is last by the Rev.
]. G. Nicholson, pastor of the Cumberland
Episcopal Church. At that time the con-
tracing couple gave their residences as
Philadelphia, according to the certificate.
Where the bride and groom now live is
unknown to their nearest friends.
Father Dillon was stationed for short
time at Altoona. Miss Donovan, aged %,
was cashier for the Western Union TeIe-
graph Company at Braddock On Novem-
Der IA both priest and girl disappeared from
Braddock. Gossip resulted in an investi-
CATION and Father Dillon was transferred
to a parish in Pittsburg. He continued
daily visits to Braddock. Coming home
late at night about the first of this month
Father Dillon found himself locked out.
He forced an entrance and, arousing
Father Bigham, threatened him with
severe punishment if he was again locked
out. Four days later Dillon was removed
to Versey Hospital and placed in a private
apartment as an insane person.
He was an excessive cigarette smoker,
and while confined at the institution made
several futile attempts to escape.
A report of his incarceration reached
Miss Donovan, or rather Mrs. Dillon, and
on April 15, armed with ner marriage ceI-
tifcate, she came to Pittsburg, engaged
Attorney E. B. Scull and a detective, en-
deavoring to secure Dillon's release. Rev.
Father E. A. Bush of st. Peters, Allie
gheny, was seen and ordered as vicar gen.
erai of the diocese to issue mandatory
note that would secure Dillon's release.
The sub-prelate first refused, but when
threatened with legal action gave in, issu-
ing the desired order. This resulted in
Dillon being released, and in company
with his wife he repaired to hotel, where
they remained over night. Next day she
returned to Braddock, and on Saturday
last she resigned from the service of the
Western Union Company, since which
time neither she nor her husband has been
seen. Her mother denies the story of the
marriage, and none of the local clergy will
talk OF Dillon's affairs, save to say that he
Is Ill with nervous disease.

Another Intere.ti.x Meeting.

There was the usual amount OF enthus-
iasm manifested at the Monetary club
meeting in Olson's Hall last evening and
the attendance was good. Two ques-
tons were discussed, one 10 regard to
Gresham's law and its relation TO the free
coinage OF silver, and the other as to
whether the fall in the price OF silver was
due to over-production or legislation.
The first question was discussed by At
torney o. J. Larson, who attempted TO
show that by the law laid down by Sir
Thomas Gresham, away back in the
Elizabetbean period Of English history,
bad money would always drive out good
money, and that by this law the free
coinage OF silver at the ratio OF is to
would drive out gold. Attorney Le-
Gendre and other silver people present
opposed this; not bur the law was true
enough, but that the country would feel
no bad effects from its enforcement.
NJ. J. Culnan opened the debate on the
second question contending that the fall
in the price OF silver was due to an over
production OF the metal, while the silver
men took the stand that the fall was due
entirely to legislation and that silver
first began TO decline in price in 1873,
when it was demonetized. and the fall
was continuous until the repeal of the
sherman act, when there was a big
slump in the price, and that within three
hours after the India minis closed silver
fell from 20 to % cents. They commended
that il must be legislation aud not over
production that would cause the fall at
such particular times.
The questions were both argued with a
good deal Of vim and every possible point
was brought out in the debate.
The program committee has prepared
the following program for the next meet

The week with him was one OF I'M

at hotel tables and in car seats there
have always been dozen people AK

talk politics or tell him how the cam
paign must be run. He has even had
to WELD a fork with the left hand
while writing autographs with the
right Despite this continuous strain
Bryan was looking as fresh as week
ago when he appeared in the hotel
dining room yesterday morning. HIS
wife and he went to church In the
morning and to Lakewood i'm the after

LANSING, August 81.
To Col Lyon, Calumet:
You will detail one officer, two ser

Yates from Co. ID or +, or botn, to report
tomorrow to General Kidd at Ontonagon.
Take all cooked rations and blankets
and wire me name OF officer at the time
Of leaving. W. W. Cook,
Asst. Adj. General.
He Immediately detailed Lieutenant
Fliege as the officer and ordered him to
pick out his men and have them ready TO
leave on the early morning train. The
lieutenant endeayo red TO get men who
could easily get away from their work
and still were good men IN an emergency,
but he did not force anyone TO go who
could not do 30 without inconvenience.
The whole camping outfit OF tin dishes,
plenty OF blankets aud provisions were
Immediately got in readiness and Lieut..
John MacNaughton, regimental quarter
master, accompanied the boys and will
have charge OF the commissary depart

Col. Lyon said this morning that there
was probably no trouble, but that lot
OF tents had been sent to Ontonagon and
the men would probably be wanted to
look after these. They will reach there
tonight and how long they will remain

The lieutenant in charge had orders to

essitate taking one sergeant and five pr,
Yates from Co. +, OF that place. AS the
orders call for only four corporals and
six went, two Of them will probably
have to act as privates. Private Ken
