Logansport, Imp, August 14.—There is Great excitement over the forcible abduction @nd probable murder of Miss Luella Mabbett, an estimable girl, who lived south of this city. Last week Amos Green, a rejected suitor for ‘Miss Mabbett's hand, drove in a carriage to the home of the young woman, selged he: bl laced ber in the vehicle and carried her off. ren returned to his home the next morning, turned his horse loose and disappeared. Miss Mabbett has not been seen since the night of the abd tion, and as Green had threatened to take her Ife, it is believed that she has been murdered. An organized search for the missing girl has carried on in vain ever since the abduction, A trail has been found leading to Wild Cat creek, ‘and some believe that the girl's body will be found in the stream. Thursday night © mob of men, believing that Green's mother knew the whereabouts of her vanished son, went to her house bent on making her dis- cloge thesecret. A rope was placed around the old woman's ‘sbe was threatened with instant death if she did not reveal the hiding Place of the abductor, but threats of lynching were of no avail. The mother refused to open her mouth in betrayulofher son. The mystery of the affair has been deepened by the disap- pearance of another of Miss Mabbett’s sultors— ohn Yerkes. On the night of the abduction Wm. Walker made @ call on Miss Mabbett’s sister, and he has since been arrested as Green's aecomplice. Mrs. Green has also been arrested.

Proposals for their Constraction to be Invited— Plans for a Powerful Cruiser. The Secretary of the Navy will, in a few days, issue proposals for the construction of the new naval vessels, plans for which were prepared under the direction of the board on additional naval vessels, of which Commodore J. G. ‘Walker was chairman. The plans were decided upon for the four vessels for which appropris- tions were made last year, but the Secretary will advertise for proposals for flve vessels in- Stead of four, the additional vessel being tho smaller of the two double bottomed cruisers authorized by the naval increase act of the last session of Congress. _ The provision making an appropriation of $1,500,000 for this vessel calls for @ cruiser of not’ less’ than 3,500 tons nor more than 5,000 tons displacement. Secretary Whitney took time by the forelock and secured plans, through Sir Nathamet Barnaby, of the cruiser recently built for the Spanish govern- ment by J.and G. Thompson, of Clydebank, England, which ts believed to be the fastest vee: sel Of the kind afloat. ‘The plans and drawings are complete and work can be commenced on hor with the other four vessels. The principal dimensions of the vessel will be: length over all, 335 feet; beam, 48 feet 8 inches; draught mean, 19 feet 6 inches; displacement, 4,414 tons and indicated horse-power of 10,500, with twin screws and an estimated speed of 19 knots. ‘The huil will be constructed of steel, with dou- ble bottom running 150 feet, the entire length of the machinery space. GEN. SEDGWICK’S MISSION. To Report as to the Legal Aspects of the Cutting Case. No request for the appointment of a special envoy to visit Mexico hay been received by the Secretary of State from elther the govern- ment of Mexico or Minister Jackson, but the Secretary of State has designated A. G. Sedgwick, of New York, wo pro- ceed to Paso del Norte and Chihuahua to secure the records of a court which never publishes its records, and to look up all the facts and study thoroughly the features ot the Cutting case. He will report directly to the Secretary of State, and probably no further steps will be taken by the department until his report 1s received. His Journey may be ex- tended to the City of Mexico, but this point ‘will be left for future determination. ogee Fature Bond Calls. WHAT SECRETARY FAIRCHILD SAYS ABOUT IT. Acting Secretary Fairchild said to-day that no policy has been determined on by the de- partment with regard to future calls for bonds. The call for $10,000,000, which will mature September 15th, was made because it was deemed wise and expedient. Future calls will be determined solely by the state of the finances. While it is probable that a second call for $10,000,000 bonds may be made next month, such action will depend entirely on the condition of the Treasury at the time. Secre- tary Fairehild’s views tn regard to the public debt are embodied in the following statement made by him befure the Senate ffaance com- mittee When the surplus resolution was under consideration: “The Secretary of the Treasury is fully in accord with this resolution, so far as it declaration in favor of applying the surpl revenues of the government to the extinction of the interest-bearing debt in such amounts and at such times as this may be prudently aud beneticially done.” Mr. Fairchild denied in the most positive terms the published statement that he and ‘Treasurer Jordan were at variance on the sub- Jeet of bond culis, aud said that the recent call Yor $10,000,000" bonds was made after a con- ference ‘with Mr. Jordan and with his entire concurrence. ——__+e¢__ The Weather To-morrow.

Many conversions are made upon these ons, and the rite of baptism is olten administered upon ocean shore. TALKING YACHT. Politics, religion and yachting are not vory kindred topics, yet at this soaside they mingle, Everybody has something to say atout the yacht race. You hear Mayflower and Purl- tan until you think of the first landing, and expect next to see Plymouth and then Priscilla, and Fannie, and Florie, and Mildrid, and Galatea, and Stranger; about this one havin, expressions, sume of which seem quite ques- Uonable, it is puzzling, but when yachting dawns upon one it is approciated as being the vaca thing, especially us the fleet of the New ‘ork Yacht club arrived here yesterday and anchored in Vineyard Haven harbor, “A beau- tiful sight to see” is an entire fleet of white sails, tho swiftest sailing crafts in the world, And when the sails are reefed and the anchor fropped, all are at rest save the slight tossiny keeping time with the moving wave. A sign: from the Electra, the flag ship of Commodore Gerry, and in a very brief space of time every vessel is decorated with hundreds of flags, A gala picture. “Yacht” ts a most comprehensive term. In this fleet are schooners, sloops, steam. yachts and launches, THE ELECTRA. The Electra is a young ocean steamer, fitted out with regal elegance, and it is sald that the cost of asummer crutse for the commodore is no less than $50,000. Delmonico, in New York, at his best serves no more dainty morsels than the celebrated French cook of the Electra, Elaborate menus accompany every meal, 80 that the dropping in of guests is no more a sur- prise than if it were a hotel. At a dinner given last night to Mrs. Henn, the venture- some wife of the captain of the Galatea, who crossed the Atlantic in that craft in thirty-one days, fitty guests sat down, In honor of the oc- casion the ship was illumined with electri- city, which marked the outlines and cast its low over the surrounding space, making the floating vessels around appear as phantoms, So deceptive are these yachts in the water, it will be surprising when the actual length is given, to realize that it can be so, and a specta- tor can be so deceived. To those in Washing- ton, who make as astandard the Ella Tread- well and Fanny Bell, grave doubts will urise as to the truth. Observe the measurement of a few of a boats: Mayflower, 88 feet Atlantic, feet; Priscila, 86 feet; Puritan, feet; Gracie, 71 feet; Fannie, 69 tevt; Stranger, 67 feet; Cinderella, b5 feet; Hildegarde, 64 feet, Bedouin, 72 feet; Galatea, 78 teet. A house at home twenty feet wide by eighty-eight feet doop 1s considered a very commodious house. Make now comparisons and then marvel not at the accommodations that can be furnished on board some of the yachts. AN ENGLISH YACHTSMAN, They all returned to-day to Newport except the “Stranger,” which is anchored just off the Sea View hotel. She flies English colors and is owned by young Warren, a tall genuine Eng- lishman, who lets up on ‘his H’s and is decid- edly given to the rising inflection at the ending of his sentences, with here and there many o “yo know!” His tatuer controls the Warren Steamship company, soit is supposed that he can afford to allow his boy out for a six weeks’ cruise, with two “clever companions, ye know” and seven “attaches.” The “clover compan- tous break hearts, insult ladiew and got fall, and havea happy time cruising with Warren, “Ive English, ye know.” The Neptune Yacht club, of Norwalk, Conn., composed of forty members, are on ‘a different “tack” entirely. ‘They organise for the purpose of a two weeks’ cruise, charter # large schooner, and spend a t of every summer off Martha's Vineyard. ‘hey have # live chaplaia with them, an apothecary aud u judge advooat former is the Rev.
