Toledo, o., Sept 2s-Harry ToIlerton,
aged 20 years. sen of Attorney B. W. Toll
lerton, and Prof. Daniel ]. Holmes of
Meadville, Pa, college, have been travel
ing in southern Europe since June, but
no one knows where they are and cir
cumstances indicate that both are held by
Swiss banditti. who are demanding a ran
som for their release.
They were last heard from on the sth
of September at Martigny. Switzerland.
A few days previous to that time they
had received sufficient funds through
Geneva to provide shem with money for
the rest of their trip to Berlin, where
both were to enter the university on the
22nd of this month. Mr. ToIIerton re-
ceived cablegram from Prof. Holmes,
dated Lucerne, requesting an Immediate
remittance of 1000 by cable to Cologne.
He cabled to the United States consul at
Lucerne for information as to the where
abOuts of the young men and asked if any
trouble had befalIen them, and also ca
bled Holmes for particulars. The reply
from the consul was indefinite and un-
satisfactory and that purporting to be
from Prof. Holmes was even more so.
A second demand for 81, 600 was made on
the 23rd of this month asking that the
money be cabled to Lucerne. Last Sat
urday a third demand was made for an
immediate cable of 800 to Lucerne and
the remaining $500 by mail. Today a
message was received from Assistant Sec
retary Day at Washington to the effect
that the minister at eBrne and consult at

WELLINGTON wArERwoRKs.
City and Company Enters Into a
Three Years Contract.

Wellington, Sept. 2S.@The city and
the Waterworks company have at last
come to an agreement.
The contract that they entered into
for three years is as follows: The city
will pay the back taxes owed by the
water company and which in round fig
ures amount to about 81. 500 in lieu of
the use of the hydrant rentals during
the past two years. Under the old con-

drants and also agree to pay the taxes
of the company during the life of the
contract. This makes about $4,000 the
city will pay for the use of the hy-
drants, a saving to the city of 100
