special.-Just before O'Clock this morn
ing Gus gTaby, bar-kceper for CounciI-
man j: j.. Thomas. whose saloon is in
Bar Harbor, was shot through the heart,
dying almost. Instantly Will ,McCabe
was arrested for his connection with the
tragedy, which, from all evidence OBJ
tainable, was accidental and uninten-
tional, though, like most affairs Of the
kind, Taby lost his life through crini-
nal stupidity and folly. He was whirling
a loaded revolver in his hand, occa-
sIonally pointing it at McCabe and snap
ping.
Don't do that. you will hurt some
one" McCabe told him.
Here it isn't loaded, you take it and
shoot me- Gus said, handing the weapon
to McCabe. The latter declares that he
does not know whether he got his finger
on the trigger or whether he struck it
with his hand, what happened was so
sudden. The first he did know was
that the weapon had been discharged and
Gus was lying on the floor. in front
of him dying. He ran and summoned
help: returned and tried to revive the
dying man, then. seeing that his ef-
forts were useless, he walked to the
police station and gave himself up.
McCabe played the piano in the estab-

most friendly terms. They were always
playing like couple of Children, and
Gus had been frequently warned about

Has Been Absent Since Wednesday

Miss Lilly Bendall the sixteen-year-old
daughter OF Mrs. Louisa ]. Bendall, of
No. II South Cherry Street, has very
strangely disappeared from her home,
and nothing has been heard of her since
last Wednesday evening.
i On Wednesday afternoon she left her
home and told her mother thai she was
going TO the house of her friend, Miss
Freda .Blenner, who resided just around
the corner, and that they would go to
Pine-Street Baptist Church.
Since that time she has not been seen
by any one, and has as completely dis
appeared as though the grave had closed
over 0ler. Miss Blenner has not seen the
girl nor did Miss Bendall call at her
house, as she stated she would do.
no REASON FOR GOING.
Apparently her disappearance is with
out reason, as the girl was always Of a
happy disposition. 1t is thought that she
may have gone to visit her cousin, Mrs.
Southworth, Of Caroline county, where
she was in the habit of spending most
of the summer. Mrs. Bendall has writ
ten to Mrs. Southworth to ascertain if
the missing girl is there, but as yet has
not received an. answer.
young girl was missing Mrs. Bendall
notified her son. Mr.. George BenGall, of
Binswanger & Co.'S, and he has been
untirins in his efforts to locate his sister,
and at once placed the ma tier in the
hands Of Detective Tomlinson.
The family of the missing girl are
quite alarmed over the absence of Miss
Lily, and seem to have no clue to her
whereabouts.
MAY BE IN CAROLINE.
Mrs. Bendall, when seen last night
said that it was possible that the girl
should have gone to Caroline county
but that she did not believe that ouch
was the case, but that her daughter was
drowned in the canal. Her reason for this
supposition is that Miss Lily has been
subject TO spells in which she is not
exactly accountable ever since she had a
spell of sickness several years ago, and
that she was taken with such a spell
just as she left the house and wandered
until she fell into. the canal at the foot
OF the city, in which so many tlave met
their death.
This may or may not be the case, and
the girl may turn up all right, but
wherever she is nothing has as yet been
heard Of her.
Mrs. ,Bendall is the widow of the late
Albert Bendall. and has but lately moved
from Cary Street to Cherry Street She
is the mother of eight children.
