TRIED TO DROWN Ii ERs ELF.
Mrs. Kenneddy of mcCieiIandsviiie Rescued
from tho ChrIs,iaua. t

Mrs. M. A. Kennedy, a widow, resid-
ing at McClellandsville, a short distance
above Newark, attempted to drown
herself in the Christiana Creek at
Spring Valley Monday. She slipped
away from her residence in the morn
ing and was seen lying in, the creek by
Katie Moore, a neighbor. She at once
gave the alarm, and Leroy and Harvey
Scott, who were attracted by it, hast
ened to the creek and pulled Mrs.
Kennedy out. She had apparently been
trying to hold herself under water, but
her head would come to the surface.
After the men had dragged her
ashore, Leroy Scott went for more as
sistance and while he was away the
woman tried to get back into the creek.
She was prevented, however. DIR. Col
umbus Henry administered restora-
tives and she recovered from the effects
of her experience in the water.

Washington, Oct. 4.--The report of
Major General Wilson upon the politi-
cal, social, educational and financial
conditions of Porto Rico is in the
hands of the President, who is giving
it careful consideration as his time
allows, in order to gather information
for his recommendations to Congress in
the matter of the government Of that
island. The early evacuation of the
island by the Spanish and its complete
control by the United States makes it
important that system of government
for it should be inaugurated early.

A BoLD ROBBERF.
Lawrence Greenwood of Coatesville Re
Iieved of Securities in Philadelphia.

Iieved of Securities in Philadelphia.
Lawrence Greenwood, president of
the Coatesville National Bank, was
robbed of $4,000 worth of bonds in
Philadelphia on Saturday. The crime
was committed by clever thieves, and
the police have no clew to their iden-
tity. Mr.. Greenwood left Coatesville
at 8 o'clock in the morning reaching
Philadelphia a little before IL o'clock.
He had q large sum of money, which
he carried in small leather handbag,
and this he deposited in the Fourth
Street National Bank. Then he went
directly to the Office of W. W. Kurtz d
Co., brokers, and there secured bonds,
which he carefully put into the hand
bag. He went to small restaurant at
Strawberry and Market streets, where
he occupied seat at a table with
several friends. He placed the bag on
the floor near his chair, so that one of
his feet continually touched it.
II was talking earnestly to my
friends, who were sitting opposite me, !"
said Mr.. Greenwood to Chief Miller,
in detective headquarters afterward,
"when / leaned forward and my foot,
just for an instant, did not touch the
bag. In that one moment / believe,
the robbery was committed.
Not until half an hour later was the
robbery discovered. Mr.. Greenwood
opened his valise in wholesale house
in Front street when he discovered the
bag was filled with paper. A minute
inspection of the bag disclosed that it
was not his own, though there was
such similarity to his own that the
difference could hardly be detected.
The securities stolen were $1,000
Kansas City & Pittsburg & Gulf first
mortgage per cent bonds, numbered,
respectively, 1881 and $3.50 fol- $1,000
each, April, 1898, coupons attached,
and $1,000 Citizens Street Railway,
Indianapolis. consolidated mortgage 5
per cent bonds. numbered 1873 to lao,
Inclusive, for 81, 900 each.

at Camp Meade will soon be ordered to

may go to Cuba, but the majority will,
for the present, occupy the camps re-
Gently selected in Georgia and South
