Boy Simply Ran way.

A mystery has been solved and a sensa-
ton spoiled by the finding in Chicago Of a
lad who disappeared nearly two years ago,
and who, it was claimed, had been muir
dered. Oct. 80, 1896, Harry Goldberg,
aged - years, an adopted son of Samuel
Goldberg, disappeared from Laporte, Ind,
and from that time untN few days ago
his whereabouts were unknown. Harry
was prime favorite in the neighborhood
of his home, and when weeks passed and
the boy was not seen the neighbors made
inquiries of the family as to his where
abouts. The Goldbergs are and always
have been reticent. and they simply re-
piled that they did not know. Thinking
that perhaps he had gone away to work
somewhere the neighbors paid no more
attention to the matter. Some weeks ago
the subject was again brought before their
notice in Il rumor that the boy had been
murdered. An investigation by the au-
thorities was begun and was still in pro-
gress when the information came that
Harry had been found alive and well in
Chicago. The finding of the boy was the
result of search instituted by Mrs. Gold
berg, who never believed him dead, and
who had been untiring in her efforts to
locate him. 1t appears that the young fell
low left his home to seek employment.
He drifted from town to town and finally
landed in Chicago. He was 1T work when
found.

In Want and quaIor.
Surance

Hidden in the woods on the outskirts Of
Pelhamvile n. Y. is wretched cabin
made Of a few boards. Inside the hut the
air is foul and moist, and vegetation cllngs
to the walls. This miserable den is the
home of Henry Hess, who is 70 years old.
He lies on a bunk, wrapped IN old rags,
and dying of starvation, consumption and
malarial fever. His wife, almost as old
as himself and nearly helpless from weak
ness and illness, nurses him, and tries
to earn for him Il few comforts to brighten
his last days. A beer bother named Effel,
who lives near, took 4 reporter to the hut
last night, first providing himself with
lantern and with big horse whip to drive
away q troop of fierce, half-starved watch
dogs which hang about the hut, guarding
against trespassers. There were fifteen
of these dogs a few months ago. Now
there are only six. The neighbors say
that the poor old couple, rendered half
witted and childish by old age and lack of
nourishment have eaten the other dogs,
and that one by one the rest will go, if the
cold weather does I~St kill off the old folks
first. The residents of Pelhamville do lit
tie for the unfortunate couple. They crit
icise the authorities and say it is disgrace
full that none of them goes to the assist
ance Of the Hesses. 1t seems to be no
ones business to relieve them.

Demand for Most Staple Goods is

Accordine to Dun,s Review.

r. G. Dun & Co., in their weekly re-
view of trade, say: 1T can do no good to
disguise the fact that the large Eastern
advances on wool to be held for higher
prices have helped to retard the natural
decline in that product. The cotton in
dustry shows better conditions in spite of
the fall of cotton to the lowest quotat ton
ever known, and there is larger demand
for most staple goods. The iron industry
still gains rapidly. Wheat has been de
clining little with, foreign reports some
what more. favorable. Actual shipments
have been 3,5S6,947 bushels, -four includ-
ed, for the week, against 4, 46S,954 bush
els for the corresponding week last year.
Western receipts amount to 10, 5?nn 359
bushels, against S,S10,720 for the Same

cheers greeted the arrival of the distin-
guished guests. Few in the vast crowd
could hear the words spoken by Miss Lei
ter, but nearly all We're able to see her,
and when she raised the bottle of wine in
her hand and dashed it against the steel
of the battleship, the action was a signal
for their enthusiasm to break forth with
full force.
There was a grooming from the tinbers,
the ground trembled as the thousands of
tons Of steel shot downward and the spray
that was sent aloft arose higher than the
platform on which stood the little woman
who had named the new craft. Shrek
ing whistles and volume of applause
which swept over the vast throng like a
tidal wave of sound greeted the ship as it
gracefully foated out into the stream.
Again and again tumultuous cheers rang
out for the Illinois as the oficious little
tugs fused around and drew the marine
champion back to the shipyard pier, where
it will receive the finishing touches.
The Illinois, with the Kearsarge and
Kentucky, now nearing completion at
Newport News; the Alabama, being con-
structed at Philadelphia, and the Wiscon-
sin, under construction at San Francisco
are to constitute the nucleus of the new
navy" which is to stand comparison with
the best in size and fighting qualities. She
is trife less than 1913 feet over all, and
her width is somewhat greater in proper
ton to her length than that of the other
battleships. Ten thousand horse power is
to be developed by the engines which will
be used to propel the big ship.

Nelson's Bank in Winnipeg, Man., has
been robbed of $62, 900 within the last few

woman confesses an Old Murder.

Eleven years ago, Louis Ball was foully
murdered at Washington Court House,
Ohio, his head being cut off with razor,
and his head and body laid across the rail
road track in such a manner as to appear
that he had been killed by train. Abra-
ham Huffman was arrested for the crime,
but was released for lack of convicting
evidence Others were suspected, but 1t
looks now as if the deathbed confession
of Mrs. Jeffreys of Hillsboro, Ohio, just
made in the presence of four persons
whom she called to her death chamber,
will reveal the identity of the murderer.
Mrs. Jeffreys implicated herself. another
woman and four men, giving their names.
She said that she held Balls head While
man cut it off with razor; that the
blood was allowed to flow into a tub,
which was afterward concealed under a
house, and that the other woman held Ball
on her lap while his head was being cut
off. The men carried the body and head
to the railroad track to cover up the crime.
