NEW LONDON 16. HARTFORD ii.

NEW LONDON 16, HARTFORD Il.
 New London, July 27.--New London won from Hartford in a schoolboy game in which both sides batted freely and made errors at every turn. Mc- Laughlin was taken out of the box in the fifth and Long substituted. Smith was also relieved at the end of the fourth. Captain Bannon made five hits in five times at bat, made four runs and a circus catch in right field and stole four bases. Bourbon got a pass in the third and stole second, third and home. .Murphy's right field three- bagger was good for a home run but he was held at third by the coacher. There was no official umpire.

LEAyITTs DROP FROM VIEW
Bryan's Artist Soli-in-Law and Wife
Mysterious ly Vanish.

st. Louis, Dec. 15.-So far as their St.
Louis friends know, Artist William Ho-
mer Leavitt and his bride, who was
Ruth Bryan, have dropped off the map.
When last heard of they were leaving
Clinton for St. Louis, Where they ex-
pected to spend several days with the
family of Col. Thorn as j. Atkins, the
newly appointed subj reasurer at this
place.
Mrs. Atkins left Hm Evansville at the
same time that her uests of several
weeks departed, and tn e understanding
was that they were to, come on here
and spend few days before going
east. Mr.. Leavitt and his bride were
in runaway at Hum ansville a few
days before their departure, and the
artist bridegroom sustained a sprained
ankle. He said a few days later that
he thought it would be best to go to
his home at Newport, r. l., to have
his injured leg treated by the family
physician. Just where the young cou-
pie are now is mystery.
The Leavitts are reported to be press
ed for funds and the young artist nus
band did not find his profession a pro-
ftable one in the west and his efforts
to secure commissions making portraits
and studies of we'll known St. Louis
women for st. Louis newspapers did not
meet with success.

OPEN WINTER PREDICTED.
ono White Caterpillars, No Snow"
Says Prophet.

Galeton, Pa, Dec. 15.-I. P. Van Zile
of Osceola, who has acquired consider
able of a reputation as a weather prog
nosticator. has issued a bulletin for the
coming winter.
Professor Van Tiles forecast is that
this will be an open winter, with little
or no snow. The Keystone prophet ar
rives at this conclusion from a study
of nature and not from the scientific
deductions in vogue at the weather
bureau. He points conclusively to the
fact that there are no white caterpillars
this year, the worms having black ends
with red in the center. Under such con-
ditions, he says, it logically follows that
there will be little or 10 snow this
winter.
The Van Zile bulletin is anxiously
awaited by the iunbermen of northern
states, to whom the forecast is not
welcome this year, as they will have
hard work slSidding logs to the streams
if the winter is open.

that she would end her life if she saw
the opportunity.
Warned by this declaration the family
secured a trained nurse whose duty was
to be constantly near the young wo-
man. Between and O'Clock in the
afternoon Miss McChesney eluded the
nurse, walked out of the house, jump
ed into a cutter which, with a horse,
was standing at the curb, and drove
away.

girl had gone the alarm was given 10

the city and county and scores Of men
headed by Sheriff Marvin started on

Mrs. Powers.
Powers came down with fever last

is now Sheriff Curry's deputy and her
husband is a prisoner in her own house.
The wife alone is responsible for her
