"HEN YOU FEEL A GENERAL LASSITODE AND Monaling dows of the = ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS Discovery of the Whereabonts of the Missing Girl. Pansy Moran Found at York, Pa—An- other Whitecap Letter Received —Notes About the Town. Pansy Moran, the young school girl who it was supposed had been abducted by Randolph Cuyler, has been found by Con- stable William Webster in York, Pa., where she has relatives. She will leave there this afternoon for her home in this city. Ran- dolph Cuyler is locked up at the station hovsé; charged with keeping a house of ill repute—no charge of abduction having been made against him. John Tolman, wao boards~at Cuyler’s, is held at the station house as a witness in the case, he being a non-resident and unable to furnish bails Tolman told the officers when he was ar- rested that he was visiting Cuyler. Last night Chief Webster, Mayor Thompson, Commonwealth's Attorney Mar- bury and Col. Frarcis L. Smith, represen ing CuyJer, had 2 conference, and inform: tion secured which showed that Pansy Morai id gone to York and had made known her intention of so doing, before leavirg town. The case will probably come up before the mayor for trial tonight,:at which time the whole story will probably come out. Pansy will reach this city about 5 o'clock this afternccn and will give her testimony béfore the mayor's court. The New York shoemaker who a few days ago was given a pair of shoes to mend, which upon examination were found to contain a railroad torpedo in one of the heels, received by United States mail this morning a letter, of which the following is @ copy: “Heyman—We have made one attempt at you, but failed. Will be sure at the next one, and it won't be in a heel. If you had drove a nail in it you would have been a pa eS K. K. Will git you next ime. The police are investigating the matter, and the post office authorities will also be requested to take a hand in the investiga- tion. It appears that Heyman charges less for his work than the city shoe repairers, and somebody is anxious to drive him out of town. Loyal Temperance Union. This evening, at the Second Presbyterian Church, there will be a meeting of the Loyal Temperance Union. Meetings Last Evening. Osceola Tribe, I. O. R.

A number of gentlemen gathered at the Alexandria House last night to partake of a bounteous repast, the result of an elec- uon bet lost by Mr. Peter James. Mr. James was an enthusiastic admiger of Bryan, and so confident was he of success that he bet Mr. Edward Hughes, the pro- prietor of the hotel, the best supper the hotel could put up that Bryan would carry the day. A pleasant evening was spent at the expense of Mr. James. Bachelor Club. The following officers for the Bachelors’ Club have been elected for the ensuing year: G. A. Mushback, president; John 8.

Wellman, the metallurgist of Cleve- land, has a portion of a round bar of iron— and a few like pieces are held in the United States—that antedates the Christian era by two or three centuries, states the Iron Trade Review. The iron, which had been criginally hammered into plates, and was deeply rusted from age, was found a few years ago by Dr. Karl Humann in the ruins of the Temple of Artemis Leucophryne, at Magnesia, Asia Minor. Dr. Humann sent it to Hibauer in Germany, and the latter made from a portion of it a memorial tab- let. This was presented to Bismarck in April, 1894. It bore this inscription in Ger- man: “For you, Prince Bismarck, the iron chancellor, Hermogenes forged this iron at Magnesia 200 B. C. Humann found it in the Temple of Artemis after 2,000 years and sent it to Hibauer, who gave it the form in which it shall ‘bear witness that your deeds shall outlive millenia.” At the time of the presentation to Bis- marck “Stahl und Eisen” gave a photo- graphic reproduction of the plate and an account of the discovery of the iron. The Temple or Artemis, one of the most mag- nificent of ancient monuments, was rebuilt about 300 B. C., though by some the date is put at 200 B. C. The metal is described as approximating ‘steel in its composition, though closel, kit to malleable iron. It was made at a low temperature and great care was necessary in the forging. It was found rather di cult to roll the pieces that were preserved as relics, these having a diameter of about one-half inch. & Portion of It cl 0+. Prussian Amber. From the London Times. Amber is a specialty of the Baltic coast of Prussia, and the British consul at Dant- sic, in his last report, states that it is a monopoly worked by a firm which owns the two best mines, Palmwicken and Kraxtepelle, and paid for the concession to the government last year a royalty of about £32,500. It is calculated that the firm has, up to the present, paid £1,000,000 in these royalties. Last year, in addition to the product of ‘the mines, a good deal of amber was picked up on the beach at Pil- lau, in the province of East Prussia, having been washed up with the seawrack during the prevalence of the northwesterly gales. The shore at Pillau after a storm is some- times covered with a layer of seaweed three feet thick, in which the amber js found entangled. Men, women and children find easy and lucrative employment in searching for the amber along this of the coast. ‘ter a storm last year one man was lucky enough to notice a piece of amber the size of a child’s head in the weeds near the shore, and with some diffi- culty secured {t, having had to dive for it. The people engaged in this precarious work sometimes earn £1 10s. a day. The raw am- ber that goes into Dantsic to be worked up is nearly all melted to make lac and varn- ish. The larger pieces are made into beads, which are sert all over the world, and are known as Leghorn corals. There is a great demand for them. Amber mouthpieces and ornaments, especially necklaces, some of which are very tastefully put together, are said te be gaining in favor abroad. ee Painfally Polite.
