GONE WlIHi BEAUTY STABBED IN FIGHT
Governor of Fanf Is Charged
With Abduction.

KINGSTON, N. Y, Sept. 12.-Col.
Robert w. Barr, a West Point gradu-
ate, British governor of Fanti, on the
west coast of Africa, absent on sick
leave, a wealthy Western ranch and
mine owner and man who has dis
tinguished himself since he appeared
in Ulster county last spring, has dis
appeared. and the general belief is
that he is on his way to Europe with
seventeen year-old Minnie Storm,
whom he is charged with abducting.
The police are looking for Barr, but
they share the common belief that he
will never be taken unless it be in
Europe or Fanti.
Barr is said to have married his
beautiful companion. He left his
charming and accomplished wife, who
is occupying his farm at Ulster Park
Considering the limited length of
time Col Barr resided at Ulster. he
managed to distinguish himself to a
remarkable degree. He. dropped off a
West Shore train at Ulster Park last
spring in search of farm, bought the
Van Keuren place, paying about $10,-
600 for it, named the place Bars
ranch" and began to do strange
things.

old daughter of Michael Storm, of
Delaware avenue, a brickyard 1aborer.
After what is termed by neighbors as
a short courtship she was ostensibly
employed as servant by the colonel.
After her disa ppearance at the same
time as the colonel, Mr.. Storm con-
sidered he was justified in swearing
out a warrant for abduction.
Col. Barr's ranch" is less than six
miles from the, city. Here among the
family and neighbors Of Miss Storm
she was supposed to be the wife of
Barr, residing at his home in the
known to the real Mrs. Barr and the
neighbors as a household servant, who
visited her home in Kings
ton and had pendant for long walks
in the evening.
Col. Barr and Miss Storm disappear
ed from the Anderson boarding house
and were traced to New York to the
home of a relative of the girl, and, it
is said, were further traced on board
a steamer which sailed for Europe
The real Mrs. Barr is said to be very
and to- have furnished the
capital for her husbands enterprises.
Both were liberal to an extreme. The
wife was formerly Miss Ehrte, of Az
bany.

CONGRESS WILL NOT
MEET TILL NOVEMBER
President Decides to Turn Down
the Suggestion for an Oc-
tober Session.

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, Sept. 12.-After
mature consideration and consultation
in person and by mail with members Of
both the senate and the house of rep
resentatiyes President Roosevelt has
decided against the suggestion that
congress be called into extraordinary
session in October. The extraordinary
session, which he announced many
months ago would be held this fall
will be called according to present
plans to meet on Nov. 9, which was the
date tentatively fixed some time ago.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
suggestion of an October session of
congress came from prominent sena-
tors who warmly advocated it's adop-
ton the proposition was not received
with favor by members of congress
generally. The idea of session in Oc-
tober was opposed particularly because
it would oblige senators and represent
atives to leave their states and dis
tricts in the midst of campaign of i'm
portance.
No definite agreement yet has been
reached as to the character of the
financial legislation which may be en-
acted at the approaching session of
congress. Indeed, it is not certain that
an agreement can be reached between
the two branches of congress whereby
any special legislation can be enacted.
1t may be that solution of the. prob
lem will be found before the convening
of the xtraordinary session, but that is
by no means assured

SOFIA, Bulgaria, Sept. 12-With the
arrival of new and startling reports of
the wholesale massacre of Christians
in Macedonia, the situation is hourly
becoming. more alarming. If the latest
messages, which say that 10000 Bull
garians have been slaughtered in the
districts of Okrida and Leren shall be
confirmed, no doubt exists that the
government will be forced to order the
mobilization Of the army Immediately
According to information brought by
a courier to the revolutionary paper.
Autonomye, a force of Albanians, as
sisted by Turkish regular forces acting
under orders direct from the Yildiz
Kiosk, massacred the entire Bulgarian
Christian population of the Okrida and
Leren districts. Fearful descriptions
are given of the sights seen there, the
soldiers slaughtering. men, women and
children in every direction, displaying
a barbarism never before witnessed.
The number of killed is not given in

AUTOMOB|LIST IS
KILLED IN ILWAUKEE
Frank Day Loses His Life While
Driving Record-HoIding
Machine.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Sept. 12. =
Frank Day, formerly of California, but
of late living in. Detroit, was killed in
an automobiles accident at the state
fair grounds. late this afternoon while
driving Barney Gldfields record-break-
ing machine in a five mile race against
time. Day had covered about four
miles of the distance, when, upon reach
ing the head of the home stretch, the
powerful machine swerved, ran into the
fence and toppled over.
.. AS the machine upset Day received
terrific knock On the back of the head
which rendered. him unconscious. and
he lay on the track without moving a
muscle. He wasl quickl y removed and
medical aid summoned, but the injured
man died in fifteen minutes, without
regaining consciousness. The accident
was witnessed by 5000 persons, among
them many women. Several of the
women tainted and apandemonium
reigned for a few minutes.
Day was twenty-five years of age.
He came here to take the place of Bar
ney Oldfield, who was billed to drive
his machine at a record breaking pace,
but who met with a serious accident in
Detroit early in the week, and sent Day
on to fill the enga cement. The auto
mobile was running mile minute
when the accident occurred. The ma
chine, which is a total wreck, is said to
be the one which holds all'records from
one to ten miles.
The accident came so quick that no
one is able to explain its cause. The
theory of the machine owners is that
the track was in bad condition and
that the wheel struck a post, throwing
Frank M. Day, the helpless chauffeur,
mangled and dying, to the ground.
Some of the spectators who went
over the ground carefully held the
theory that the right front tire became
loose as the machine rounded at the
curve. and that Day, in order to re-
Heve the pressure on it as much as pos
sible, steered as near the outside fence
as he could, hoping to get through
without an accident; but the tire came
off and the disabled wheel plowed a
furrow three inches deep for eight feet

TETANUS is CURED
WITH HOT WATER
Ohio Sufferer Finds Himself as Well as
He Ever Was.

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio, Sept. 12.-Te-
tanus, or lockjaw, has been success
fully treated in this city by DR.. Carl
Ultes Sr., who used a remedy made by
himself, and one which he has used be-
fore in blood poisoning cases with
great success.
The patient was James Daugherty.
He had rigors. chills and fever, and at
times his jaws were so set that they
could not be pried open. There were
also symptoms of blood poisoning with
the tetanus.
DR.. Ultes used hot baths, and prep
aration which was injected into the pa
tient. AT the end of six hours the dis
ease, which had baffied the medical
profession for years, was practically
gone, and the man is today as well as
ever in his life.

Mrs. May Berry Remembered in the
viii of n. C. Moulton,

WAUKEGAN, ILL.,, Sept. 12.-By the
settlement of the H. G. Moulton will
case in the Oshkosh (Wis.) court Mrs.
May Hinkston Berry, wife of A. c.
Berry of this city, will receive a large
sum from the estate of the wealthy
old miser, who took a fancy to her
when a child.
Years ago when Moulton was sixty
years old and May was fourteen she
visited her grandparents at Berlin,
Wis, where Moulton lived, and met
him. He was greatly taken with her,
and despite the difference in their
ages, showed her marked attentions,
he being widower then. He appears
not to have forgotten her, but provided
for her handsomely in his will. He
died in 1900.
The distribution of his estate has
been delayed by contest, caused by the
appearance of an alleged widow,
whose claims have finally been de-
feated. The estate is worth some-
where between 100000 and 100000.
What Mrs. Berry will get is yet un-
known

port has it that he was not on the ship
