A WOMAN'S EXPERIENCE.
Mrs. Hewitt Lost in Searching for the
Headwaters of the kOyukuk.

SEATTLE, Aug. GA thrilling trip down
to Koyukuk river recently fell to the lot
of Mrs. Hewitt, wife of a Chicago physician
now at Nome. Alone and lost for months
in a dreary waste, she managed to reach
the Yukon river on a log raft. There she
was rescued by the river steamer Hannah,
picked up and sent to Nome to her hus-
band. Mrs. Hewitt left Chicago two years
ago to join her husband He was located
at St. Michael at first, but afterward went
to nome. Late in the fall she reached Seat
tie and started over to Dawson with a par
ty. When they reached Fort Hamilton
they heard of rich strikes near the head
waters of the Koyukuk and started across
country TO join the rush for that place. At
ter reaching the Koyukuk Mrs. Hewitt be-
came lost on a branch of the river. With
her dog team she made frantic efforts to
get back to camp, but only succeeded in
further bewildering herself. Finally she
was compelled to camp at a deserted In
dian hut. The party she was with made
efforts to find her but did not succeed in
doing so. About the first of June, the river
breaking up, she constructed a log raft and
floated down $50 miles to the Yukon.

Guns and Axes Implements of War;
fare on COlored Excursion Boat.

M'KEESPORT. Pa. Aug. IA fifteen
minutes general rough house held sway
on the excursion boat Annie Roberts to-
night while returning from a trip up the
Monongahela river, near Elizabeth. At the
end of the fifteen minutes the boat pre-
sented the appearance of having gone
through a riot, bullet holes showing upon
much Of the woodwork. and the decks OF
the boat being despatched with blood. AS
q result of the fight one man is opposed
to be drowned. one is in the McKeesport
hospital suffering from having his head
battered with an axe, and two more are
in the McKeesport lookup. The trouble
occurred during an excursion given by
the colored knights Of Pythias of the
Monongahela valley on the steamer Annie
Roberts. A dispute between Thomas Alex
ander and John W.. VIM arose from their
jealousy of a mulatto woman named Belle
Robinson, of P~ittsburg. Alexander drew
a revolver and commenced firing, one OF
the shots striking Winn in the leg. The
friends of the participants gathered around
and took sides. A friend of VIM picked
up an axe and dealt Alexander a blow
on the head, telling him like an OK. and
probably fracturing his skull. While the
crowd was surging around the boat TO get
a better point of view, an unknown man
was pushed from the boat and drowned.

KENTLAND, Ind, Aug. ST. Chair
man Charles S. Hernly met with the Re-
publican central committee of Newton
county Saturday afternoon at Kentland.
The report of the precinct committeemen
was highly satisfactory to Mr.. Hernly,
showing gains in several parts of the coun-
ty. 1t had been announced in the local
papers that a Republican club would be
formed in the evening. and with no other
attraction promised, and to the surprise OF
all, fully 1900 people assembled in the Court
Park and demanded a speech. Chairman

aroused great enthusiasm. His alluslon 10

this number are the names of eight men
who cast their votes for Bryan in 1886, but

NEW YORK, Aug. Ex-senator NJ. A.
Hanna has decided to remain in the East
much longer than he expected. Mr.. Hanna
stated last night hat he might not depart
for the East for three or four weeks. When
he began the campaign work of the Re-
publican national headquarters in this city
his plan was to remain here only long
enough TO map out the campaign and then
go to Chicago. He has decided, however.
that the exigencies of the campaign re-
quire his continued presence in the East.
So instead of vacating the Franklin Muir
ply cottage at Elberon next Saturday, as
he intended, he will prolong his stay there
with his family.
According to several morning papers, one
of the considerations that influenced Mr..
Hanna to prolong his stay here was the
news that the Democratic national commit
tee had resolved to establish headquarters
in New York and to inaugurate an active
campaign for Bryan in the Eastern and
Middle States.
