Coming to the description of the de-
tails of his device Mr.. Tesla prefaced his
remarks by the explanation that the cleo

center of control were of an infinitesimal-
ly feeble character and then made the
startling statement that he believed that
the time would come when ii would be
possible TO bring them into play by the

handkerchief belonging TO the young wo-
man was found tied 10 a reed near the
river. Searching parties have b>el Crap
ling for the body, but without sUcc IS.
The impression is now general that
Miss Hague did not drown herself, but
has hidden. a few nights before her dis
appearance Miss Hague attended a
masked bali, for which she was chiIed b.
her mother. and becoming passionate, de-
clared she would end all by drowning
herself.

VALUABLE GEMS RECOVERED.
SatcheI Picked ID by Mistake of q
Quaker Lady.


Philadelphia, Nov. S.-A satchel contain
ing diamonds and other jewelry valued at
s5,C09 which Mrs. Jane A. Smiley, of
Schenectady, n. Y, believed was stolen
from her in the Broad Street station just
one month ago, was recovered yesterday
in an unexpected manner through an ad-
vertisement Mrs. Smiley had placed the
satchel on a chair beside her in the wait
ing-room. While she was talking to a
friend the bag disappeared. The Pennsyl-
vania Railroad authorities and detectives
were notified, but no trace of the valua-
bles was found until yesterday.
Last Friday an advertisement appeared
offering $500 reward for the return of the
jewelry, no questions to be asked. When
the attention of Captain of Detectives MIL
Ter was called TO the advertisement the
facts of the supposed robbery were FOR
the first time given TO the public.
Capt. Miller was surprised yesterday
when Mrs. Jamison, an elderly member
of the Society of Friends residing at Ard
more, called at his office and handed him
the satchel containing Mrs. Smitley's jew
els Mrs. Jamison said while she was
waiting in the station October she
placed her own satchel on a chair and
walked over to the water cooler for a
drink. Just at that moment her train
was announced. She rushed back to the
chair, picked up a satchel and got on her
train.
When she reached home she discovered
she had the wrong bag, and was dunn
founded when she found the satchel was
full of jewels She told her family OF
the mistake, but not being acquainted
with police methods made no report To the
city hall authorities. Mrs. Jamison, in
fact. did not remember where she had
mixed up the satchels.
When she read the news Of Mrs. Smit-
ley's loss she consulted a friend, and by
his advice turned over the bag and con-
tents to the detective bureau, which M
mediatey telegraphed TO Schenectady the
news of the fortunate find.
