QaeeD Of the Ball.

Miss Jane Dorothy FordYce, daughter of Col. s. ". Fordyce, of the Cotton Belt railway, was crowr- ed queen of the ball by the Yelled Prophet at St. Louis Tuesday night. The following from the Globe-Demo- crat will be read with interest:
 After winding it's way through the principa. streets, the procession ended at the Merchants Exchange, and the Prophet Majesty and his retinue entered the great hall There he found assembled the beau ty and gallantry of his beloved city. The old and the young had gathered to do him honor. According to the custom which prevails in his court in the far east, the Prophet, through his lovely prrsuivant, ordered the Ioveliest maids of the year to come before him. He selected Miss Jane Dorthy Fordyce as the queen of the ball, pronounced her the loveliest maid in his domain and ordered her to preside over all social functions during his years absence. As her special maids of honor to lend her assistance in the social realm, the Prophet selected Misses Josephine Cobb, Mildred Hopkins and Lucille Overstolz. After he had danced with the queen of the ball, the Veii- ed Prophet waved his wand, his loyal subjects bade him adieu, and suddenly he disappeared as quickly as he came. In the early hour to- ward dawn, the fete ended, the lights went out, the music and revelry died away, and the celebra- tion of the twenty-tirst grand entry of the Yelled Prophet to the Mound City was happy memory.

NEW YORK, Sept. f.-Augustus Cook
an actor, was locked up here tonight on
the charge of attempting to kill his wife,
baby and nurse. Mrs. Cook is suffering
from severe scalp wounds, the nurse has
her fingers slightly cut, and the baby, al
though besmeared with blood, escaped I'M
hurt. The alleged attempted triple murder
occurred in the luxurianty furnished
apartments of the Cooks The attack on
the woman was preceded by a wrangle
which disturbed the other tenants of the
building. The womans wounds are not
dangerous. Mrs. Cook has gone to her
fathers home with the baby and the nurse.
The weapon with which the women We're
attacked is supposed to have been an ak.

OUTRAGE BY DEPUTIES
FORCED THEIR WAY INTO THE
HOMES OF LYNCHED VICTIMS.
No Evidence of Attempted Arrests of
the Leaders of the MOb-Mer-
riII MOOres's Report.

CINCINNATI, O., Sept. 1.-THE CONNER
ciaf Tribune's correspondent at Osgood,
Ind, says: 1t was feared tonight that there
would be more bloodshed here than at YER
sailles Tuesday night when five men were
lynched Sheriff Busching sent twenty-five
deputies here to-day to search the houses
of the lynched men and others for stolen
goods. The only search warrants known
to be issued were for the house of Mrs.
Rittenhouse, who was suspected of having
a fence" and OF Jenkins, one of the vic
tins. Mrs Rittenhouse and her son had
been called to Versailles before the grand
jury and in their absence the deputies broke
into her house and captured many goods
1t is claimed that she can prove from
whom she purchased most of these
goods, but the deputies took them. Mrs.
Rittenhouse and her son were afterward
arrested, but released on their own recog-
nizances and left for North Vernon to pre-
vent trouble.
The citizens say the deputies made a mis-
take in going through the home of Mrs.
Rittenhouse in her absence and taking her
goods. Merchants in this place say they
will identify them as purchased from them
and not the booty of the Levi gang. The
deputies say they found silverware and 9TH
er articles that were questionable In the
house of the late William Jenkins, but they
did not take anything from that place. EX-
citement runs high here tonight and trou-
BILE is predicted by all. The feeling between
the residents of Versailles and Osgood is
more intense than ever
VERSAILLES, Ind, Sept. H.-This town

Kelley the fourteen-yeaf- boy who oc-
cuped the cell with Henry Schueter, was
sent by Judge New TO the State Reform
School, at Plainfield, this morning. The
toughs are beginning to clear out of Os-
good, being frightened by the reports that
the MOD might come back after some of
those left behind. Dr. Alexander Joseph
and his son, who We're at first implicated
in the Cannon brutal robbery, and who
were great friends OF the gang that was
lynched, have pulled stakes and departed.
Or. JoSephS connection with the gang was
published in the journal yesterday. His
wife is reported as saying to-day that DR..
Joseph LETT for his health. He is not eX-
pected to return soon.
The grand jury has examined several
witnesses to-day, but nothing is given out
forecasting any probable action. The act
ing coroner has not yet returned his Ver-
dict on the lynching.
