A VIRGINIA ELoPEMENT.
Richmond Girl Disappears With u
Travelling Salesman

The local police were enlisted last night
in an effort to locate Marie Tompkins
Henry, a pretty girl, seventeen years old,
whom the wiles Of Cupid. if a story told by
her parents is true, have led to seek in
matrimony a relief from the irksome du-
ties and responsibilities of home life. Yes
terday, according to report, the girl dis
appeared rather mysteriously from her
home. 20s East Franklin Street. Rich
mond, and started northward, supposedly
in the company of a man named Foster,
a travelling salesman, with whom her par
ents think she intends to cast her future
lot.
Following the supposed trail of their
daughter and Foster, came Mr.. and Mrs.
He..ry, father and mother of the young
woman. who are making every effort pos
sible, apparently. to prevent the marriage
of Miss Henry to her companion. Ex-
haustive enquiry last night failed to To-
cate the couple.
1t is said that Foster and the girl have
possibly gone to Baltimore, where they
may register at the Hotel Rennert. Act
ing on such information, Sergeant Carter
telephoned the Baltimore police last night
to look out for the couple, II being repre-
sented by the parents of the girl tnat sne
A despatch from Chief Howard. c. t.s

giving a description of Miss Henry, and
asking her arrest. This was kept very
quiet by the police, as were other De
velopments in the story of the search for
the girl. Captain Boardman said notn-
ing about the telegram, and II was not
until midnight, when MIR. and Mrs. Hen
~ appeared at Headquarters, having
come on the first train from Richmond,
that the matter transpired- Even then Sc
crecy seemed to be the order Of the in
vestigation.
Within a short time after the girl dis
appeared yesterday. her parents became
aware of the fact, and appear to have at
once entertained the idea that she had
eloped with Foster No time was lost
in making an appeal to the Richmond po-

ties. When 1t seemed certain that their
daughter had left Richmond. Mr.. and
Mrs Henry took the first train for this
city. arriving about II o'clock last night

who sent the description of Miss Henry
around the city. The detectives stationed
at the ueDotS were enjoined to keep
lookout for the missing girl and detain
her in the event of her appearance. All
this was done at the request of her par
ents. Then Mr.. and Mrs. Henry went to
a hotG on Pennsylvania Avenue for the
night.
Il is learned that Miss Henry belongs
to a prominent Richmond family that
her father is well-to-do merchant.
Little is known of Foster. According to
Mrs. Henry, he Is a travelling man. and
frequently visits Richmond. For several
weeks last summer Miss Henry was at
the White Sulphur Springs, and there she
is said to have met Foster.

THE BEAUMONT OIL FIELDS.
Conditions in Texas Described by w
A. Prihule.

w. A Priddie, a member of prominent
lumber company of Beaumont, Tex, was
registered at the Metropolitan yesterday.
He is returning home from New York
With regard to the Beaumont oil fields
Mr.. Priddie said:
IT'S the biggest thing in the world.
Within two miles of Beaumont there are
now sixty-seven gUshers. the daily output
from any one of which is from $1,000 to
10000 barrels. The diameter of these
gushers, or wells, is from four to eight
inches.
Back of the lake-what the geologists
term great underground lake of Oils
such tremendous pressure that when oil
is struck it shoots up $50 feet in the air.
At first it was thought that this lake
would soon become exhausted, but this
pressure today is as strong as it was last
January, when Lucas made the first
strike.
THE earliest Indication we had of these
oil wells was when gas was noticed es-
Gaping from the ground. so thick in places
that It would ignite from match. This
was two years ago. After considerable
prospecting Mr.. Lucas, a representative OF
a Pittsburg oil firm. the 10th of last
January, discovered a gusher.
AT first he was unable to stop the flow
and thousands of barrels OF oil ran out
over the prairie. This was set on fire and.
as evidence of it's fuel qualities. I never
before witnessed such a blaze as fol-
lowed.
The oil is ready for use as fuel as It
comes from the well. and analysis shows
it to be of 81 per cent paraffin base. Two
oil refineries are being constructed at
Beaumont and one at Port Arthur. A
great deal of money is being spent in pipe
lines. Lines have already been laid to
Port Arthur and Sabine Pass.
Beaumont is in Jefferson County and
is situated about eighty miles east of Gal
weston and Houston. Since oil was struck
its population mas increased from L, 600 to
25, coo over $50. .000, 900 has been invested
there in the oil interest Beaumont was a
good town previous to the finding of oil
on account of its splendid lumber bust
ness.
THE only other oil fields in the State,
are the Corsicana fields in central Texas.
They are controlled by the Standard OIL
Company and were discovered about two
years ago.
This oil find will certainly revolution
ize the country as far as fuel is con-
cerned. 1t is already being used by the
engines of the Santa Fe Railway system.
With ocean steamers 1t must prove in
valuable on account of the small space
required for its storage as compared with
the room required for coal"

WORKING TO SAVE MISS STONE
The State Department Thought to
Have Asked Russians Aid.

With the situation in the case of the
American missionary, Miss Ellen NJ.
Stone, becoming more critical each hour,
the matter has become so delicate, eX-
plains Mr.. Adre. the Acting Secretary of
State, that must maintain a policy Of
the strictest r.ticence. Every effort is
being made by this Government to secure
Miss Stones release from the Bulgarian
brigands Mr. Adee said yesterday that
in order to carry the negotiations for her
release to a successful conclusion he must
preserve complete silence. as any false
step might very easily frustrate the aims
of the Department and the earnest desires
Of the American people. He admitted,
however, that many of the press de-
spatches concerning the situation are
| false, but said that he could not correct
them, as to do so would be to give a
correct version Of the affair. It is be-
lieved by this remark that the real situa-
tion is not suspected
The official reports thus far received
from Consul General Dickinson do not
show whether or not a respite has been
granted. AS matter of fact, there is
every indication that the whereabouts of
the brigands IS unknown. and that the
missionary IS in a most dangerous posi-
tion. 1t is believed that Mr.. Dickinson
has been compelled to seek the assistance
Of an Intermediary for the purpose Of
dealing with tine agent of the abductors
who are using every device to conceal
their identity and save themselves from
the penalty for their outrageous acts.
1t was said yesterday In most reliable
quarter that there is every reason to be-
lieve that, in its efforts to arrange for
the release Of Miss Stone the United
States Government has appealed to Russia
for aid in forcing Bulgaria and Turkey to
give their loyal support to the movement
of rescue.
While the State Department has been
moving quietly in the matter, and has 10
all outward appearances, seemed to take
only a casual interest in the case, there
is no doubt that the most strenuous eff
forts have been employed to save Miss
Stone from the brigands and that these
efforts will be continued until the object
has been accomplished.
II is expected that within n few DAYS
many of the mysterious phases of the
matter will have been cleared up and
that something more definite concerning
the whereabouts of the missionary and
her captors will have been made known

MIR. HOBART IN MARBLE.
A Bust of the Late Vice President
Placed In the Senate.

A Carrara marble bust of the late Vice
President Hobart has been placed in one
of the inches of the Senate Chamber wall,
some of which have already been similar
ly filed. This piece of sculpture is the
work of Frank Edwin Elwell, of New
York, who also made the bust of ex-Vice
President Morton, which was so highly
praised by all of Mr.. Morton's friends.
The Hobart bust is equally satisfactory.
