Every employe of the house was instructed to
watch for kidnappers. and more detectives were
engaged. At last broken in health and spirit,
Mrs Tonkin returned to OsWego with the child.
Armed coachmen and detectives always accom-
pany Rosamond when she leaves the house.
On May % near here, Cora Sweet, child,
was dragged into lonely field by Henry Man

stirred the whole city, and the farmland, who
confessed, protected from the people with
difficulty. This murder alarmed Mr.. and Mrs.
Tonkin that they offered the reward

daughter if it refused. None Of the letters

ably erroneous from the steamship hrOonland
said she had spoken the Apache 1l6 miles west
Of the Lizard at q 35 o'clock this afternoon.
At noon yesterday the Apache was nineteen

a field of icebergs, through which the Fleur de

Oswego, n. Y, June A story of real ire
has come to light here. which has all the eerie
features of tale by Edgar Allen Poe or conan
Doyle Driven almost to the point of insanity
by numerous letters threatening to kidnap or
murder his daughter Rosamond. John Jay Ton
kin, wealthy and prominent, to-day announced
the offer of a reward of $4,000 for the dis
coYery of the person who has for two years
been writing letters to him demanding large
sum of money or dire results The offer OF the
reward reveals story of months of haunting
fear which have made life unbearable for the
members of one of the most prominent families
in Oswego.
Mr. and Mrs Tonlin had three daughters
One Virginia died three years ago The shock
affected the parents greatly and the body was
embamed and kept in the house for nearly eisht
months. when the authorities interfered and
forced them to bury it.
On top of this great grief came the first letter
demanding money or threatening harm to Rosa
n1ond Since then letters have arrived at fire.
ouent intervals The child has been so strictly
guarded that she has grown morose and sickly
Mr. Tonkin showed the letter to the Oswego
notice but no cew to the writer could be OBJ
tanned Private detectives were employed with
no better results In desperation, with nerves
shattered Mrs. Tonkin took Rosamond to New

Arthur Ratcliffe. of Concord. and Miss Chris
tiana Schnoble, of Stapleton. Staten Island. were
quietly married yesterday at the home of the
hridegroon's parents. The wedding was not to

hastened by Mr. Ratcliffe's mother, an invalid
who desired to see her married before she
died.
Several months ago. while his mother was in
good health. Mr.. Ratcllffe announced his en-
sagement to Miss Schnoble. but no date was set
for the wedding. Mrs. Ratcliffe, who had been
i'll for several weeks. realized Saturday that
she could not live. and requested her son to have
his wedding take place at once. Going to the
home of Miss Schnoble he repeated his mothers
request She consented and they went i'm
nediatsIy to the Ratciife house. When they
reached there they found the Rev. Father Nc
Clure pastor OF the Church of the immaculate
Conception waiting. Going into the where
Mrs. RatcIifre lay. Father Mcclure performed
the ceremony
A few hours later. while the house was still
filled with relatives and friends, Mrs. Ratclife
died She was born Staten Island sixty years
ago and always made her home there. She was
prominent In church circles.

FEW OBJECTIONABLE LAWS
After reviewing the financial statement, the
Governor thus comments on the legislative rec
ord:
The record of thesyear has been highly cred
liable one. A few mertorious measures failed
OF passage. but vicious measure has become
law. On the other hand the LIQUOR tax law, the
election law. the labor law and the banking law
have been substantially strengthened by whole
some amendments; the claims of the teachers,
flremen and policemen in cities have been recog-
nized by helpful legislation; the forests OF the
State have been protected; the State hospitals
for the insane have been again placed under the
control OF local boards Of managers; provision
has been made for the inspection of locomotive
boilers; the solution OF the rapid transit problem
in New-York City has been aided by the enact
ment of proper laws; gas and electric companies
have been placed under State control. and much
has been done to curb the exactions Of the light
ing monopoly in New-York City. Every demand
for proper reform in the interests of morality,
law and order has met response, and in
terest of the people has been neglected.
do not recall a session of the legislature
which has been more fruitful of good laws or
which has produced fewer Objectionable ones.
The burdens of taxation have not been increased
by reason of any avoidable expenditure Of
