MISSING MISSFOUND?
Detention Of Nellie Oropsey
Doubted by Family.
PARTIALLY IDENTIFIED BY A FRIEND
The North Carolina Mystery. Seems
to Present a Dihfcult Problem
For the officials Who Are
Making the Search.

ELIZABETH CITY. N. c., Dec. s.
The news from Wilson, n. c., of the
detention there of Il woman partially
identified rs Miss Nellie Cropsey has
created little Interest here among the
girls family or officials of the town. 1t
Is believed here that this same woman
and her companion were examined at
Speed, N. c., by an agent of Chief OF
Police Dawson several days ago ana
found not to be Miss CrOpsey, though
resembling her.
An expert diver spent the day
searching the bottom of the river above
the pier near the CropSey house in the
hope of finding the body. but discover
ed nothing. No clue of value has yet
been found, and the strange case Is
practically in the same position 1t was
the day after the girl disappeared.
At S:i5 last night Chief of Police
chief of police Of Wilson. y. G., giving
a description Of the Durham woman.
1t does not ut all answer to Nell Crop
sey's description.
The report from Wilson is to the Of
feet that on Monday a couple giving
the names of Mr. and Mrs. Mackay
Durham stopped mt Wards boarding
house there. Monday evening Durham
was found drunk and uisordegly on
the streets and locked up, remaining
in the town guardhuuse throughout
the night. Tuesday, when Durham was
sober, he was released from custody,
and he. with his supposed wife, left IN
a buggy for Nashville, \. C..
At this juncturc the town authori-
ties suspected the couple to be Miss
Nellie Cropsey and Mr.. Durham of
Elizabeth City both Of whom disap-
peared from that city on Wednesday
night, Nov. 81. They were pursued by
two policemen on each road leading
out Of Wilson to Turkey Creek, about
fifteen miles north Of here, where they
were arrested by Policemen FELTON,
and Bryant and brought back to town
yesterday.
Miss Nellie CropScy for four years and
who is now at school here, was called
on to identify Miss tropsey. She testi-
fled that for -four years she has not
seen her, but the Civ in custody resent
bles Nellie very much; that when she
knew her her hair was lengthy; that
her features We're identlcally the
same" She will be held in custody un-
til parties arrive from Elizabeth city.
The alleged Miss Cropsey says she has
been married only II few days. She
seems to be deeply distressed. She np-
pears 20 b" about seventeen years Of
age and is good looking. She has an in
telligent face, speaks very clearly and
while being questioned by Mayor Her
ring said many things contradictory to
Durham's statements.

The story OF Her Husbands Harsh
Trentment.

LONDON, Dec. 5.-Ihe matrimonial
quarrel between Queen Wilhelmina and
Prince Henry, her husband, cXcites
great interest here.
The history of the affair as gathered
from the various continental ncwSpa-
pers charges Prince Henry with mis-
conduct and neglect and repeats ru-
mors of his deep drinking and heavy
gaming debts, which Queen Niihelml-
IN declined to pay. Another point OF
disagreement between the pair was tho
princes unconc~iled antipnthy to flol-
land and his ungovernable passion for
hunting which resulted In his long alb
sences in Germany. 1t is said that the
queen mother then interfered ana tax
ed her son n-law with his misbohavor,
but without effect. and finally the mat
ter developed into an estrangcmrnt be-
tween mother and daughter.
In regard to the quarrel at the din
ner at Hct Loo and the resultant durls
another rumor represents Major Van
Tets as having received violent kick
In the stomach. which caused him Sc

Big Convention Opened mt Scranton,
Pa.-some OF the Questions Up.
SCRANTON, Pa, Dec. 5.--I'he big
convention of the American Fedora
tion of Labor opened here today in st.
Thomas College hall.
The Pacific coast delegation, headed
by John r., Morgan of Portland, is
fighting for the re-enactment of the
Chinese exclusion law with amend
ments to make its provisions apply to
all Mongolians and its operation unlim-
tied as to years.
Delegates from the shipbuilding.
trades are making vigorous cam
paign for Il demand from the fedora
ton that the government build it's own
ships and not let out the contracts to
private parties. wSo pay less wages
and exact more labor than does the
government.
Almost every delegate is taking an
active interest in the trades autonomy
matter, and of all the subjects billed
for discussion it promises to provoke
the most talking. The miners and sta
tionnry engineers and tiremen are at
war over the jurisdiction of the engi-
neers and iiremen at colleries, the
brewery workers and teamsters are in
conflict over the drivers of brewery
wagons, the wOodwOrkers and car
penters propose to thrash out their
long standing feud about the jurisdic-
ton over men employed in carpenter
shops, and the typos and machinists
are disputing over linotype machinlsts,
and So on.
The color line will also be the sub
ject of what gives promise of being an
animated discussion.
