Judge Parker.

Esopus. N. Y, Aug. ll.--Judge
Parker appeared blithe and happy today
in spite of yesterdays notification ordeal.
He is obviously we'll pleased with the
impression made by his speech OF ac'
ceptance upon his immediate audience
ut the ceremonies and is convinced that
the opposition press has failed to make
adequate answer to his arguments.
Telegsams of cougratualion came pour
ing in this morning and bid fair to
rival in number the fluctuations that
followed his nomination. The Judge
spent The entire morning over his news
paper and read every word in acclaim Of
or opposition to yesterdays speech. He
has certainly changed his mind about
the issuance of his letter of acceptance.
He had first intended TO devote himself,
in this document, entirely to the dis
QUESTION of his positive views, refrain
ing from any answers to republican
claims or criticisms.
Now he has determined to revise his let
ter of acceptance if necessary, in order
that he may reply to the letter shortly
to be sent out by President Roosevelt
and will delay the issue of his own
epistle to the people until the Presidents
is published and digested.
Judge Parker made such an impress
sion upon his audience yesterday that
many think he should take the stump
during the campaign.
Mr.. Stsnchfeld is prominently spoken
of for governor and those who are urging
Mr.. Lamont for that position are met
with the argument that "the democratic
nominee for governor of New York
must be a man who voted regularly in
| 1896 and 1900"

Attacked i'm the Dark.

Princess Anne county authorities yes
terday ordered def ctives and bloodhounds
from Norfolk to pursue man who COM
mitted an assault on Mrs. George w
Whtehurst early that morning. Mrs.
Whitehurst is the wife of one Of the
surfmen of the Dam neck life-saving
station, on the Atlantic coast six miles
from Virginia Beach. Mr.. Whiteburst
was on duty Wednesday night His
wife and another woman were awaken
ed by an intruder at O'Clock yester-
day morning. The man caught Mrs.
Whitehurst, while the other woman
ran screaming TO the station where
the life-sayers were. The resculng
party ran to the scene. They found
Mrs. Whitehurst Frustrated and blood
flowing from her mouth and eyes as
the result of the choking she had en-
dured, but not otherwise injured except
by the dreadful fright. The man had
escaped 1t was too dark to recognize
the criminal, but he is supposed to be a
negro. Strong parties are in search of
the man. The region is swampy and
wild and if the assaiant is caught he
will probably never be brought to the
small courthouse of Princess Anne, but
lynched.
The spectacle of the bleeding and d.
sheveled woman and the confusion Of the
room where the struggle occurred has
enraged the neighbors. who have sworn
vengeance.
If the man is caught it is believed
lynching will follow. A negro who is
suspected worked, it is said, for Storm
ant & DOzier, fishermen, near Virginia
Beach. The man did not show up for
work Yesterday morning.

Postomce Robbed.

Posses are searching the woods in the
vicinity of Woodmere, L. l., for three
robbers who looted the postolfice in that
village and carried away 5000 after ex-
changing shots with the postmaster, who
detected them making away with their
spells. More than Is shots were fired
before the robbers made good their es-
capped, but it is thought that one bullet
reached the mark, as one of the fleeing
men was seen to limp, as if wounded in
the leg. The postoffice at WoOdmere is
in the drug store Of which George II.
Koch is proprietor. On the second floor
Of the building are the sleeping apart
ments of Koch and his wife. The first
intimation that robbers we're at work
came when n tremendous explosion
shook the entire section of the town in
which the drug store is located. Koch
and his wife were awakened. The drug
gist went to the front window of the
sleeping apartments and looked out.
Across the street, in the shadow of a
tree, he could see the outlines of a man :
figure. At the same time Mrs. Koch
went to one of the side windows and
peered into the darkness. The man
across the street stepped from the shadow
and cried out: 'Put your head in
there ~ At the same time he fired 4
pistol at Mr.. Koch. Twice be fired,
and both bullets landed in the window
sill as Koch ducked behind the frame
work to safety. Then the man fred
twice at Mrs. Koch, both bullets pass
ing close to her head. Securing shot
gun and a pistol Koch turned upon the
man. He emptied his shotgun at the
man across the street, and then two men
ran from the drug store postofice and he
fired his pistol at them. Five bullets
he sent speeding after the fleeing men,
and he said later that one ofthem halted
and seemed to have been injured. Then
the three men fled in the darkness.
Scores of citizens aroused by the explo-
sion and the fusilade of shots which fol-
lowed, were quickly on the scene, and a
search for the fugitives was begun.

Rich Wife Grew Jealous.

Scranton, Pa, Aug. l0.-Arthur Bur-
ton Hutchinson, of Chester, Vt, re-
tired attorney, estimated to be worth
81, 900, 900, aud Mrs. &C.. @. Hendrick, Of
Brooklyn, were arrested here yesterday
by detectives, who have been on their
track for two months. Mrs. Hendrick
is the wife of the Brooklyn doctor who
became famous few months ago in the
Laura Biggar case Detective George
Hall, of New York, and three local Off
GERS figured in the arrests, which were
made on warrants sworn out before AL
dennan Rudy by Mrs. Hutchinson.
Hutchinson and his wife have heretofore
spent their summers III Europe but it is
alleged that Scranton was chosen instead
as the place where he and Mrs. Hendrick
would come. Mrs. Hutchinson stated
Yesterday that Hendricks family was
very friendly with herself and husband,
and that Mrs. Hendrick frequently en-
joyed their hospitality at their New Eng
land home, the result being, she declares,
the stealing of her husbands affections.
Lately Mrs. Hutchinson intercepted some
letters sent to her husband, and, after
reading them carefully, resealed them,
and her husband received them without
any suspicion that his wife was already
in possession of their contents. Ia this
way, it is alleged, Mrs. Hutchinson
learned just where the couple were going
to summer, and, with Detective Hall,
followed them up until the arrest yester-
day morning. Mrs. Hendrick stopped
at South Scranton hotel, and Hutch
inson and she were arrested there yester-
day. In the Alderman's Office Hutchin-
sons lawyer, John F. Scragg, managed
to make peace between the man and wife,
Mrs. Hutchinson agreeing to withdraw
the adultery charge and also divorce pro-
ceedings if Hutchinson would foregO the
company of Mrs Hendrick. DIR. Hen
drick expected to reach here yesterday
to look after the case against his wife,
whom he is also suing for divorce.

Made HerseIfa Living Torch.

Mobile, Ala, August 10-lnsane
from grief over the sudden death of her
husband, Mrs. Annie Miller McCargO
escaped from her attendants yesterday at
Olive Branch Springs, saturated her
clothing and hair with oil and, proceed
ing to the main street of the town,
touched matches to the oil, and in an in
slant was in full blaze. Spectators who
attempted to extinguish the flames were
fought off by the woman. Finally three
men, with blankets, surrounded her and
put out the fire. BY this time she had
lost consciousness, and died an hour
later. Though undoubtedly suffering
agony, not once throughout her self-in-
ficted ordeal did Mrs. McCargo utter a
moan. Mrs. McCargo for years conduct
ed the principal hotel in the city. Her
husband, Attorney w. II. McCargO,
died several days ago very suddenly.
The shock unsettled her reason, and she
was confined in a room under nurses
care. She begged constantly for free
dom, that she might kill herself.

Mrs. Maybrick.

Paris, Aug. IA dispatch from
Rouen confirms the report that Mrs.
Florence Maybrick left Ropen on July
%, for America, making close con-
nection with a trans Atlantic steamer.
1t required two vans to convey her twelve
trunks to the station. During her
visit TO Paris, few days before her de-
parture, Mrs. MaYbrick and her mother
consulted lawyer on her line of con.
duct. Mrs. Maybrick left in good
health. 1t is probable that the story of
Mrs. Maybrick's threatened blindness
originated in the fact that, during the
past week, three different residents of the
Rue Tannery were operated on for cataract
The doctors, however, did not go to the
home of Mrs. Maybrick's mother.

The Chicago Strike.

Chicago, Aug. 1.-THE situation in
the stock yards strike this morning, took
on a more peaceful appearance than has
been shown in two weeks.
T. w. Foster for the retail butchers
and grocers committee called on Thomas
w. Conners, of Armour & Co., early
today, to arrange for a joint session of
the packers aud the labor men together
with the peace committee. Corners met
the advances in a conciliatory spirit and
stated that Armour was always willing
to meet with their butchers. The tour
of the other packing houses was then
made and it is very likely that general
meeting of the principals will be ar
ranged for this evening.
President Donnelly, of the butchers,
has wired President Compers TO come to
Chicago if possible.

and he was sentenced to life imprison-
ment in the penitentiary. James aud

Masked Men Torture Woman.

Williamsport, Pa, Aug. 1O.--When
she opened the door of her home in the
West End of this city at 5 o'clock yes
;erday morning two masked burglars en-.
tered the kitchen of Mrs. Ebert Lutz
and fendishly attacked her. The burg
lars thrust gag into her mouth and
tied her feet; also wrapping towel
about her face. But one eye was un-
covered, and when Mrs. Lutz saw the
burglars enter another apartment she
endeavored to crawl to the foot of the
stairway to alarm her husband upstairs.
One of the burglars saw her and struck
her over the head with heavy mace
and cruelty tortured her. The noise
made awakened her mother, who scream
ed, and the burglars fled. Mrs. George
Landon, who lives next door to Mrs.
Lutz, was attacked in her yard last Mon
day by man, who leaped from behind
a porch. Her screams frightened him
away. The police think that Mrs. Lam
don's assailant is implicated in the Luiz
case

United States and Turkey.

Officials Of the State and Navy De-
partments conferred yesterday regarding
the orders to be given the American
European squadron when it arrived at
Smyrna. The naval officers, in answer
to the inquiries of the State Department,
estimated that Admiral JEWELS feet
would arrivest Smyrna last night The
AdmiraPs sailing orders were simply to
proceed to Smyrna and officially he does
not know of the purpose of his cruise.
It is said that he probably will under.
stand the situation so we'll that it Will
hardly be necessary, and In fact, will be
rather inexpedient to give him any
Official orders Immediately. His ships
therefore probably will lie in the harbor
of Smyrna in close touch with the cable
and with Minister Leishman at CJn-
stantinople and with Washington. There
are signs that the sigpatory powers to
treaty of Paris are beginning TO take ac-
tive interest in the policy of the Wash
ington government toward Turkey.
They have every reason to dread any
disturbance Of the balance of power in
southern Enropc at this time, and it is
believed that they are willing to bring in
fuence to bear upon the Sultan to in
duce him to acquiesce 10 the American
demands, rather than force the issue to
a point where the use of actual force
might be regarded as actually necessary
by the American government.

THURSDAY EVENING. AUG. Il, 1901

TIE CLOSING scenes in the lives OF
most prize fighters have been sad. They
enjoy meicor-like fame, but in a short
time become back numbers as younger
blood makes its debut JohnC G. Heenan,
the hero of the prize ring less than halt
n century ago, sickened and died from
consumption, virtually neglected by the
many who had admired him few years
previous. The closing hours in the lives
of Others prominent in fisticufis have
been equally sad, and from present indi-
cations It is but mere matter OF time
when the curtain will drop upon the last
scene of all which will end the short but
eventlul history Of John l.. Sullivan.
He spent the money he made in former
wears AZ fast as it came into his hands,
and now, broken down in body, without
means and With virtually no friends who
show any real interest in him,
he is gradually nearing the end
of bis rope. The ex-chamPion was
arrested for drunkenness Yesterday at
the Dudley street terminal of the ele-
waited railway in Boston. Hepassed the
night in a cell in the station. Sullivan
was taken off an elevated train and es-
corted down streets and into the patro
wagon without a murmur on his part
Before boarding the train Sullivan had
all but wrecked a Washington street
saloon. No one, it seems, manifested
enough interest in the former gladiator
to 90 on his bond for his appearance IN
the Police Court this morning.

SEVERE STORMS.

Berks county, Pa, was visited b. aserie:
of furious storms yesterday, which ragged
at intervals from in the morning until
last night, and at 6p. m. the worst
storm of the season struck Reading.
For an hour the lightning flashes were
incessant. Fully dozen houses were
struck, and number Of peasons pros
trated. The downpour of rain wa
terrific. At Fifth and ButtonwoOd streets,
the centre of the aristocratic section,
houses were flooded and number oil
families were taken from their homes in
boats. Sewers burst in several parts
of the city, and many of the
unpaved streets resembled mountain
paths rent and torn by raging
torrents. The city was darkened last
night, and the trolley service was badly
crippled. The electrical disturbances
Knocked out hundreds of telephones in
the city, besides cutting off commune
cation with Boyertown, Birdsboro, Ham
burg and Kingstown. In many parts oil
the county the storm was especially Sc
we're. Midway between Womelsdorf and
Robesoina a tornado did great damage.
II cut a path one square wide across the
entire Lebanon Valley. Severe damage
by storms was also done in Pittston,
Lebanon, Hanover and other cities and
towns. Washouts are reported along
the Northern Central and Western
Maryland Railroads and bridges over
streams in the country districts were
carried away. Corn and newly-plowed
fields were badly washed.
