MOUNT MORRIS. n. Y, Nov. s.
There seems to be but very little doubt
that Miss Jennie Kingston, who was
formerly employed in the Scoville House
In this village. was one of the victims
of the New York Central wreck which
occurred at Garrisons two weeks ago.
For some time Miss Kingston had been
working in Buffalo, but she had written
TO some Of her friends here that she had
secured a position in New York and
soon expected to go there. None Of her
friends here has heard from her for
four weeks. Landlord ScOviiie received
q telegram from GarrisOns stating that
In the baggage of the unidentified wo-
man was found a receipt for money she
had paid to Mr.. A. Harris here, and the
receipt was written upon one Of the
Scoville House letterheads While Miss
Kingston was in Buffalo she had writ
ten to Miss Maggie O'Brien, who is also
employed in the Scoville House. and in
closed in the letter a sum of money
which she asked Miss O'Brien to pay
to Mr.. Harris. The money was paid
and Mr. Harris wrote a receipt upon
one OF the Scoville House letterheads
and this Miss O'Brien returned to Miss
Kingston.

NEW YORK, Nov. 8.--A young man
of well TO do parents. who says that he
went to Europe on a bicycle tour, has
returned to New York on the American

been compelled to act as stcker. His
name is Charles Goepel. 10 years old,

other youths, was found In the coal

II Is not pleasant TO shovel coal into

In that way is about as comfortable as
working a passage on a canalboat by
driving a team of refractory mules.
The young man is slight in form. He
never did any hard labor in all his life.
He supposed that when found slowed
away he would not be made especially
welcome, but that the company would
have TO take him to New York, as well
as feed him on the way.
He told the officers of the Paris that
he had left New York six weeks before
upon the Atlantic Transport line steam
ship Mohawk. He took his bicycle with
him, a limited supply of clothes and a
still more limited amount Of money.
He had read some magazine story about

He told the officials at Ellis island
that he had had enough of stoke hole

CINCINNATI. Nov. s.--John r. Nc
Lean and party left last night for
Washington. MIR. Mclean has been
considered the Democratic candidate
for senator and his departure is re-
garded as an indication that he con-
cedes the legislature to the Repub-
licans, notwithstanding the numerous
notices Of contest
Before his departure Mr. Mclean held
a conference with Chairman McCon-
VILE and other Democratic leaders.
There is nothing known as to the
policy of the Democrats as a mi
nority In the legislature, but IL Is be-
neved they Will join the antiHanna
Republicans in bringing out new man
for senator.
The question has been raised as to
whether T3 votes are necessary to elect
n senator. that number being major
ity Of all. If majority of a quorum
only is necessary. some might be sick
or absent. as that would be less en-
barrassing than to be present and vote
against the caucus nominee.
The point has also been raised as TO
the succession to the governorship. If
Governor Bushnell should be elected
senator by fusion. the lieutenant gov
ernor. A. w. Jones. would become the
chief executive. As the state senate is
Democratic by 10 to II, It is held that
a Democratic senator would succeed
Jones and be In line for the governor
ship. Among the 19 conceded TO the
Democrats In the senate is Senator
Voight Of Cincinnati fusion Republic

island Of Skmushiri, in the Kueils.
Part Of the schooner's crew went ashore
presumably to get a supply of water,
but instead OF doing so went on hunt
ing expedition and tried to run Things
generally. They were ordered TO re-
turn 10 their vessel. They refused. and
finally Captain Gunjl fired shot from
an artillery piece over the vessel. This
had the desired effect upon the men,
who secured a supply of water and re-
turned to the schooner.
