1t was declared today that the dia-
mOnds, valued at 100000, which were
missed from the establishment Of Tiff
fanny & Co., on April % had been re-
turned as mysteriously rs they disap-
peared.
While nobody connected with Tiff
fanny and Co. would discuss the report
when seen today, no denial was forth
coming. 1t was learned. however, that
the police are investigating the news
and that early today Detective Ser
geant Price was sem to the jewelry
firm to inquire into the report.
When Inspector O'Brien was seen at
police headquarters and asked whether
he had heard of the return of the jew
els he said:
81 heard something of the kind and
Detective Price has been sent under
my order to Tiffany & Co. to learn
what he can about it. Until he returns
] will have nothing more to say
The report was to the effect that
whoever returned the jewels received
$1,000 as a reward. This was taken
to show that the finding of the jewels
had resulted in the discovery that they
had never really been stolen, but had
been misplaced. as when the disappear
ance of the diamonds was first made
public Il reward of 5000 for their re-
turn and an additional reward Of $4,000
for the apprehension of the thief was
Gflered.-NeW York dispatch.

BIitTTE HUNTED DOWN
WOman's Cries Brought Help i'm Her
Hour OF Peril.

Ed. Hall, 4 young negro, made a des-
perate attempt to commit a criminal
assault ul'on Mrs. Mack Auten, the
young wife Of Il farmer, at her home

morning. Hall afterward made his es-
cape, and with 2 hundred men on his
trail eluded capture until 4 o'clock this
afternoon, when he was arrested at
PineVilfe, this county, and safely land
ed in Jail here. There was some talk
of lynchirg this morning but this
quoted down and the authorities
apprehend no trouble.
The outrage was committed at about
$3.50 o'clock. The negro, who is employ
ed in the city as a driver at Auten S
meat market, va sen to Auten's
home after some meat. He was half
drunk. Upon some slight pretext he
went into the house and asked Mrs.
Auten to phone to town for him. AS

face to the phone, the negro threw MS
arms around her from behind ami at
tempted to drag her into an adjoining
room.

FRANCE TO AID RUSSIA
friendly Relations Between France
ana Great Britain to play promi-
rcnt Part i'm Peace Negotiations

As n sequel to the conference be-
tween Premier Rouyier and If. wItte.
at the foreign Office yesterday. the Rus
sian peace plenipotentiary held an ex-
tended conversation with II. Nelidoff.
the Russian ambassador. after which n
having dispatches for the emperor.
There is reason TO believe that the
French premier is low fully aequaInt-
ed with the Russian standpoint and
with the line OF action which VI. White
VIII adopt at the peace conference.
NJ. White appears to he satisfied
with NJ. Rouvier's assurances that
France will adopt every possible
means To assist her ally 10 reach II sat
isfactory arrangement. The friendly
relations Of the French
with Great Britain will undoubtedly
play a prominent part when the period
Tor q direct exchange of views begins.
1t is believed that this was the chief
point discussed during the conversation
ut the DUAL D'Orsay. but until the lines
are defined on which the negotiations
viii be conducted France car only
promise TO use her influence for the
best interests of her ally.
Until now both parties have succeed
ed in keeping their respective pro-
Grammes from publicity and therefore
assertions emanatfng from various
quarters ~purpOrting to specify the
claims of either side are purely specu-
latiye. 1t is the universal desire here
that the result of the conference will
be Il cessation of hostiIities, while the
hope is expressed that Russia will be
able to find an issue from her awkward
situation without sacrificing her ma
tional self-respect.-Paris cablegram.

AFTER NEGRO MURDERER
Farmers and Police Set Fire to Bushes
i'll An Attempt to Capture Him.

Plainfield, n. j., July 26.-Baf1ed by
treacherous swamps and thick woods,
a posse of farmers and police have ,u--
rounded Charles 7 ong, a negro, accused
of numbering Matthew Cunningham
of Trenton. This afternoon they set
fire to more than fifteen acres Of
shrubs and bushes on the outskirts OF
Dismal Swamp" between South Plain
field and New Market, N. j., in an eff
fort to drive the man out of his hiding
place.
A brisk wind blowing over the
swamp from the direction in which the
fire was started took the smoke
through the woods and it is not
thought that Long will be able to stay
where he is and live. In readiness for
his appearance the members OF the
posse are around with shot guns and
should Long make any attempt at re-
s~istance he will be killed without hest
tation.
