Supposed Victim of Bridgeport Murder
 Returns to Her Home.

Middleboro, Mass, September 17.-The
 supposed victim of the Bridgeport, Conn,
 murder, Miss M Grace Perkins, arrived E at sher ehome this afternoon in perfect Health to the great joy of the family, and the unboHnded astonishment of the entire community. Her father was not in town. He was on his way back from Bridgeport with the gruesome remains which he had identified as those of Grace, and for which the funeral arrangements, including the
 digging of the grave, had already been
 completed. Miss Perkins came from Prov
 idence, R. l., and was accompanied by her
 lover, Charles Bourne, and at first it was stated that the couple had been married.
 This was afterward denied by young
 Bourne. So unexpected was the coming of Miss Perkins and MT. Bourne that out side of one or two friends who had been previously notified there were very few at the railroad station when the train came in.
 The young lady, however was immed lately recognized by the bystanders at the station and the news spread around the town with incredible rapidity. There was large crowd at the gate, the young lady stepped from the carriage and ran into the house. Just across the street from the Per
 kins house is a cemetery and only this
 morning in response to the uncle of Miss
 Perkins grave had been dug by the sexton in the family lot and the new earth thrown
 up beside it could be plainly from the home

TERRIBLE DESTRUCTION
Was Wrought by the Storm That
 Swept Over Barbadoes.

Kingston, Jamaica, September 17.-Details of the hurricane are constantly coming in, which show the disaster to have been infi- nitely worse than was at first expected. The destruction at Barbadoes was fully equal to that at St. Vincent, while St. Lu- cia also suffered considerably. The island of Barbadoes presenting flat surface, was completely swept by the vortex Of the cyclone, the result being that the entire area of cultivation was obliterated, while a majority of the residences and other buildings were destroyed, and two-thirds or the dense population of 16O to the square mile were rendered homeless.
 The population was seeking shelter al Bridgetown and other centers, only to ma them little more than masses of ruin. The consequent distress is unparalleled in the history of the West Indies, and the goVer- nor that instant and continuous outside re- lief is absolutely necessary to avert wide spread famine and possibly resultant pestilence. The actual extent of the fatall- ties has not yet been ascertained, owing to the extent of the ruin wrought throughout the island. Apparently the damage in St. Lucia was comparatively less enormous, and houses were destroyed temporarily paralyzing industry. The loss of life in St Lucia was comparatively small. No esti- mate of the shipping casuties is yet pos Sible.

NEW DEPARTURE
In Post Office Departmental Conven-
 fence to the Public.

Washington, September H.-T'he public will greatly appreciate the convenience af- forded through an order issued today by First Assistant Postmaster-General Heath, which authorizes postmasters to issue money orders payable at their own offices. This practice has not been heretofore fol- lowed, and the new departure will be an accommodation to the great number of people, who, not having an account at a bank, desire to follow this economical and absolutely safe method in payment of bills, etc. These money orders may not be used, for illustration, in payment of gas bills, smaller places, the person indebted to the farmer may have an order drawn in favor of the latter payable to him at any time and sent to him by a neighbor who obtains and delivers the mail for the neighbor- hood, the entire cost, say for $1O, being 10 cents.

The men stood the trials of this vest hole" until popular clamor had them removed to Jacksonville They were under orders to embark for Porto Rico when the sudden termination of the war was announced. There was then nothing to invite a sol- dier's life except garrison duty in Cuba. This distasteful to the men, their rela- tives and friends and by a popular move- ment the war department was influenced to include 1t in the number of regiments to be mustered out.

 with the resignation of the minister of war, General Zurlinden as a result, there is It. tie doubt that popular feeling is still against a revision. Thus the cabinet will come in
 conflict with the people, while President Faure, as the champion of the army and with inc sympathy of the nations, assumes h formidable role, which may lead to grave developments. This will be clearly seen II the cabinets decision leads to mob demon- strations It is predicted that with the pres ent state of military feeling, the army Will side with the demonstrators against the cabinet. a4iizHia

 A significant feature of the situation Is the attitude of President Faure. He is known to be utterly opposed to revision

Bacon's Sta' e'nent

Cincinantl, September MT. Es R. Ba- con, president of the Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern Railway company, who has been eDga ged for some time with the New York committee, Speyer & Co.,, and Kuhn, Loeb & Co.,. bankers, and the receivers in assisting in the readiustment of the af- fairs of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad company, was in town today, ana was n- terviewed about the purchase O. th.s control of the Baltimore and Ohio road Ie was reluctant to discuss the matter, but after being adviesd that 1t had been published in Chicago, New York and this city he said a number of representative men identified with large railway. manufacturing and commercial interests in the northwest, Chicago. New York and other cities on the company line had been for some time negotiating for the purchase of very sub stantial interest in the Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern, and that such negotia tions had been brought to successful conclus- i0n ''that under the reorganization, ample means had been provided for cutting down grades, increasing the capacity and facili- ties of the road and putting it in condi- tion to promptly and economically handle largely increased business.
 He also said that the organization man. agers had declared that the subsidy lines, including the Baltimore and Ohio South western, should be likewise treated, and arrangements were now being concluded to readiust the affairs of such lines and se- enre capital to put them in the same con- alton as the main line
 Mr. Bacon was very reticent, but it is evident ~that--the control has been pur- chased, and from what has been learned here and through other sources, il is cer- tain that much larger sum thaa s10,0o0.- 0Do. has been paid for it, and that the re- organization managers and himself are the parties who have made the negotiations
 Mir. Bacon declined to state whether the present receivers would manage the affairs c. the company in the future, but Sit is well known that they are in close alliance with the new owners, and will undoubtedly be requested by them to officially manage the company's affairs.
 J. H Maddy, the press agent of the Bal timore and Ohio railroad, tonight said to a representative of the Associated Press that the statement made in Cincinnati to- day by D. R. Bacon is semi-officiai and added that no other statement would be issued at present. Receivers Cowen and Murray are not expected to reach Balti- more before Monday.
