Abductor.

Forest, Hunting for the Man and
His victim-He Enticed tho
Girl From Home.

Rochester, Ind, July 29-One week
ago Sheriff Feltz of this county re-
ceived notice from Michigan warning
him to look out for a stranger headed
this way with a buggy, believed to
have been stolen. About the same
time an unknown man stopped at the
farm house of William Berger, south
west of this city. representing that he
wanted to employ girl to work on his
farm near this city. Miss Nellie Ber-
ger agreed to accompany him and the
two drove away together
Failing, within a day or two, to hear
of their daughter, the parents began
making inquiries and they discovered
that there was no such farm as de-
scribed by the stranger, and that he
had driven in an opposite direction,
abandoning the horse and buggy at
Illion, in Marshall county, after which
the girl and man both disappeared.
Last evening a man supposed to be
the abductor was seen in the timber
eight miles from this city by some
berry pickers. A girl was with him
and evidently made an effort to escape
to the women. The man used such
violent language that they were fright
ened away
BY daylight this morning 300 men
We're patrolling the road surrounding
the timber, which is 400 acres in eX-
tent, along the banks of the Tippeca-
noe river Bloodhounds have been Sc
cured and careful search is being
made. There is talk of lynching.

Elmira, N. Y, July 2s.-At II o'clock
tonight Erie passenger vestibuled
train No. 7, for Buffalo and Cleveland,
leaving New York at Z o'clock tonight
was wrecked and burned at Lacka-
wanna. only two cars escaping the
flames. The train consisted of a buffet
car, two passenger coaches and two
Pullman cars. The wreck occurred
during storm, which caused a land
slide. A freight train was first wrecked
and the passenger train plunged into
the freight wreck. Both engineers
were killed, but no information about
train No. rs passengers is obtainable.
1t is usually well-filled train in both
regular and sleeping coaches.
The Inflated passenger train passed
Port Jervis at 11:12 p. m. and half an
hour later was a burning heap. Moth
ing is known about the passengers,
but in the sleepers for Buffalo and
Cleveland are at least a dozen passen-
gers each. In the darkness of to-
nights storm work at the wreck is
slow and but little will be known un-
til daylight. No Erie train from New
York will be likely to reach here until
late on Sunday
The engine, baggage car, combina-
tion baggage and cafe car and one
coach were burned. Stephen Outwater
and Timothy Welsh of Port Jervis
were engineer and conductor
There is every reason to believe that
the Pullman cars for Buffalo and
Cleveland were not destroyed and that
their sleeping passengers are safe
All telegraph lines at the scene of
the wreck are down.

EXPLOSIVES TESTED.
Report of the Board of Ordnance and
Fortifications.

Washington, July 29.-The report Of
the board of ordnance and Notifications
of tests recently made at Sandy Hook
has been made public by the war de-
partment. One of the tests was the fir
ing of an "Isham SHELF containing 113
pounds of explosive gelatine from IL
inch gun with Ais pounds Of powder,
the shell weighing 1903 pounds loaded.
No fuse was employed, as 1t was de-
cided to test the ability of the loaded
shell not only to endure with safety
the shock of a discharge, but also the
shock of impact. The result was most
satisfactory. The shells are now to be
tested against armor plate. The board
witnessed a firing test of the IS Maxim
Nordenfeldt quick-fire mountain gun
and say that in general excellence this
gun is believed to be superior to any
other of its kind now in the service.
The board then inspected fragments
of shells in which the high explosive
thorite has been used as a bursting
charge. The augmentation was salts
factory. The results of the test so far
made with this explosive are consi1-
cred to be very satisfactory both for
field and siege projectiles.
The board at the same time tested the
five-inch and two and one-half-inch
projectiles loaded with explosive gela-
tine bursting charges. The Merriam
fuse has proved both safe and reliable.
The committee on high explosives
has prepared a programme to subjec,
thorite to a final test in order to fully
establish its value. The report is signed
by General Miles, president of the
board

ITS A GENERAL BOYCOTT
A New Phase in the Big Cleve-
land Strike.
1T HITS THE MERCHANTS
Punished for Selling Goods to People
Who Ride in the Classifying to
Make the Boycott Effective
Against the Soldiers

Cleveland, Ohio, July 29-Although
order has practically been restored
within the city, the railroad strike has
resolved itself into a general boycott
of the Big Consolidated company and
everybody who rides upon its cars
Apparently the strikers have the SYM
pathy and active co-opera ton of all
the labor organizations in the city.
Not only are merchants being punished
for riding on the tabooed cars, but they
are warned against selling goods to
other people who do ride, on threat of
stances are given in which the drug
gists have refused to sell medi-
cine to people who We're accused of
patronizing the Big Consolidated COM
pany and physicians have been boy
cotted for riding upon the cars while
going to see their patients. The boy
colt is most severe on the small deal
ers who do business on streets that are
populated largely by union men and
their sympathizers.
A number of these merchants have
published advertisements 10 -day Offer
ing rewards ranging from So 10 $500
for reliable evidence that they or any
of their clerks or relatives have rilde n
on the cars since the strike began, ard
a number of communications have been
sent to the papers by physicians, gro
GERS, butchers and others protesting
their innocence Of the charge of having
patronized the railroad company. AS
yet the big retail merchants have not
felt the effects of the boycott severely,
though it is said some of .hem have
been requested to forbid their clerks to
ride on the cars.
Thousands of working people are So
ing to and from their homes in busses
of every kind and description, from
huckster, wagons to tally-hos, and in
certain sections of the city the cars run
with few passengers This is not trllc
of Euclid, Cedar, Central Ind Wade
Park avenue lines, which run through
the best parts of the east end. There
the cars are pretty well filled.
The boycott of the troops has
aroused the ire of Adjutant General
Axline, who says there is a state law
to punish persons who interfere with
the militia The is one Section of
the statutes which provides a MAXI
mum penalty of $1,000 fine and six
months Imprisonment for every per-
son who tries to persuade or discour-
age a man of the national guard from
responding to a call for riot duty Cen
eral Axfine says the boycott and the
threat of certain employers to put on
the black list those employees who
turned out with the militia are COW
cred by this law, and he threatens to
institute prosecutions against dealers
If the boycott is continued. He says
also that he may begin under the civil
rights law, and he sent several SOL
diers to- a restaurant for dinner with
the express purpose to begin such ac-
tion against the proprietor if he re-
fused to serve them.

ACTIVITY IN LUMBER.
Another Advance in Prices-The Demand
Exceeds the Supply.


Minneapolis, July 9.-The Times will
say tomorrow: Lumber will advance an
other so cents straight on Monday, this
being the fifth marked advance in price.
II has been many years since there was
such a demand as the present season has
shown, and even with the advancing
prices the demand continues to exceed
the supply. In the case of the elevator
builders. who are using "cribbing' in
great quantities. there seems to be an
end of things, and it appears that they
will soon have to resort either to higher
grade crbbing, which is almost too ex-
pensive for the purpose, or take to steel
for elevator building.
There have been but few years when
SO much activity has been shown in the
elevator business. This is partly attrib-
uted to the growth of new towns along
the Great Northern in northern Minnesota
and the Minneapolis & st. Louis in the
southern part, and partly to the excellent
wheat prospects this season.

start the former took the lead because of
Its proximity to the rich claims on Anvil
creek, tributary of Snake river. A
townste was staked and several mer-
chants sent out for stationery bearing the
name of Anvil City, having every assur-
arcc that the name would not be
changed. In the meantime Nome City
was gradually expanding and it was free
IL predicted that before the summer
wore away the two cities would merge
into one. This result was unexpectedly
precipitated, however, by the postoff1ce de-
partment establishing a postoffice and
naming it Nome. Fearing that a contest
might result in the office being removed
to Nome City, the people of Anvil City
corsented to call their camp Nome.
When the beach between Snake and
Nome rivers is built up it will present
fine site for city, standing well above
the level Of the sea and presenting an
unbroken stretch of country. Several
large buildings are contemplated and will
be erected as soon as lumber in large
quantities arrives.
Charles d. Lane, the millionaire mining
man of California, who is interested with
G w. Price in some of the best claims in
the district, arrived a fortnight cgo on
the steamer Townsend from San Fran
cisco with complete outfit for mining
camp, including lumber, general supplies
and horses. He will erect substantial
buildings and spare no expense in de-
veloping his claims.
