MYSTERY NO MORE An Intercepted Letter Discloses News of Thomas B, Ritchey, ABSENT MERCHANT OF WOODSTOCK Writes a Woman Clerk to Meet Him in Lexington. DETAILS OF THE CASE Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. WOODS1OCK, Va., September 15, 1898. ‘Thomas Beall Ritchey, whose alleged taysterfous disappearance from Washing ton has been the gossip of this town since the 23d of August, was not murdered in Washington and thrown in a_ sewer, some sensational stories fh dicated. News of the missing merchant has been received from Lexirgten, Ky. It had long been suspected here that there was a woman, cther than his wife, in the case, and a !et- ter received here from him confirms these suspicions. The letter was intercepted by a brother of the young lady to whom it was addressed. In it he asked the young lady to meet him at Lexington, it is stat- e What the latter weuld have done nad not the letter fallen in the hands of her brother is not known.

The Annual Fish Fry an Occasion of Enjoyment. Sgecial Correspondence of The Evening Star, CAPON SPRINGS, W. Va., September 9, 1808. These last days with old Capon in early autumn livery, are more delightful than at any other season, and the wise ones who CLOSING have remained for September are thcr- oughly enjoying themselves. Among the guests are some Washington people. Sen- ater and Mrs. Vest are still with us, the former much improved, and growing stronger every day. A walking club, of about twenty mem- Lers, has been organized, and every aay the lads and lassies, the former in goif ress and the girls in short skirts and stout Loots. start off for an eight or ten-mile tramp over the mountain and through the “cod, & Yesterday Capt. S: . our good host, gave us a rare treat—the annual “fish fry” at Capon river. Early the day carriages conveyed the guc to the river, whe different amusements were enjoyed un dinner was announced. During the earty morning men had been taking from 1 waters of this beautiful river gamey black b: which later were literally scaled alive and cooked by a sure-enough o!< Vir- ginia cook over the glowing embers o big campfire. Never before did fish taste so good, and every cne did full justice to them. Mr H. Walmsley of Philadelphia responded to the toast “Our host and friend, Capt. Sale," in a speech which but echoed the sentiment of every person pres- ent. In fact, no one comes away from Ca- pon without a sincere affection for the dear captain and his wife, and noe man in all th Virginias ever had so many “sweetheart ranging in years all the way from six to Seventy, “Absent friends” was drunk in silence. and after three rousing cheers for Mrs. Sale the inher ended.

For a while it was doubtful whether she would be a mermaid or conquer the bass, but Washington girls are good persuaders under all circumstances, and later the black beauty graced a table in the spacious dining room of the tavern. es Not So Feeble.

Some of the Features of Interest in Tomorrow's Big Paper. The Star tomorrow will contain several chapters of more than ordinary import- ance. fiction of the highest class, fashion letters from recognized authorities on style, travel letters, stories of adventure and of life In queer places, and a goodly lot of readable poetry and selected miscellany. In every department the big Saturday Star will be complete and a model of up- to-date journalism. Noteworthy among the special features is an article on the condition of affairs in Africa at the present day, the attitude of the great European powers and their aims and objects. It throws much light, of in- terest to the average reader, on the matter~ of Sir Herbert Kitchener's advance on Khartoum. In the department of fiction The Star to- morrow will contain, in addition to the weekly installment of Louis Tracy’s re- markable scrial, “The Lost Province: capital short story written by W. S. Porter, and called “The Miracle of Lava Canon.” The principal character of the story is a western sheriff, who was believed to be the bravest man in Arizona, but was really at- tacked by the cold chills every time he was called upon to make an arrest. The story tells how he finally became as brave as he Was reputed to be, and the share that a certain young woman had in bringing about this change. A well-told and thoroughly American story of western life. Other features that deserve special com- ment are as follow: THEY CALL US HOGS (tlustrate@).

Remarkable Escape of Government Experts and Crew From Injary— Not Like the Maine Disaster. From the New York Herald, Today. NEW BEDFORD, Mass., September 15. ~—By the premature exptosion of a Cu! ningham torpedo i harbor today the experiment schooner Freeman, from which the apparatus wes being tested, had her bow blown off, and sank in five minute By a miracle the torpedo boat: from New port, which was conducting experiments with the projectile, and the Cunningham company’s crew, were not injured by the explosion, and escaped in a small boat. The Cunningham torpedo has been a sub- ject of study by government experts for three or four years. About a year ago the government ordered six torpedoes. The company bought the schooner Freeman and fitted her with a torpedo tube of orig- inal design for the experiment: The expert board from Newport arrived here yesterday. It was composed of Lieut. G. F. W. Holman, who was navigator of the Maine when she was blown up; Lieut. J. H. Oliver and Lieut. W. A. Marshall late of Admiral Erben's coast @ board. In two tests made that day projectiles developed great speed, but lacked some essentials of success ja the flight. So the other four were modified, and were to be fired today. The Freeman Jay at anchor in a cove, when the party, with the Herald correspor dent. boarded her. After a_few pre!im! nary arrangements, Lieut. Marshall, Mr. Gillingham of the torpedo company, and the correspondent withdrew in a tug to ob- serve the course of the torpedo. The first torpedo fired without Gent. The second was placed in and every one took position for Lieut. Holman stood on the bows tc order the discharge, while Lieut. Oliver stood by the foremast, sighting the course. He was directly over the br tube, but with a deck between the weapon. Bow Burst Asunder, The werd was given, but inst of the projectile leaving the gun, the deck and en- bow burst asunder, while a dense clot the him and smoke shot from the hatch nd the alr was filled with flying timber and other debris. Lieut. Olives went up with the ha‘en on which he stood and came down in a pile of wreckage. Beyord a scratched wrist and es, he was unhurt, and did not e his grip on kis ieut.

Inventer Cunningham coolly mounted the rail and cailed the roll to see that no on: was missing or wounded. Lieut.

His Life the Cost of His Care of Eighth New Yerk Volunteers. From the Ni w York Journal, Today. George W. Lindheim, surgeon of the Red Cross and corporal of the Sth Regiment, who has been accused of cruelty in treaiment of the 260 men of his regiment ever whom he had charge from mauga to New York, is dying. Two physi- who are attending there is no chance of hi: G0 men he sed of ill- um- walking about » others are well on th None will die, the ph When the train arrived in this city, on August 31, Dr. Lindheim saw that all the ill soldiers were taken to hospitals or their homes patients his say Of the ell and day following he was stricken with typhoid, and, being taken to the home of his parents, at No. $45 Railroad avenue, never left his bed 2f- terward. Dr. A. Monae Lesser, chief surgeon ef the Red Cross, is convinced that the nard work done by Dr. Lindheim and the worry over the criticisms of his work are the cause of his condition. He has been unconscious for five days. During these days of delirium he has raved about the men he still belle he is bringing from death at Chickamaug: to life in New-York. “Let me get up,’ he cries, “260 of them! Think of the boys—so much responsibility— I must get up.” Sometimes he calls out: “Oh, why do they judge me unheard? I'm doing all I can; I’m right, I know I'm right—I'll bring them all through.” Besides three nurses, Dr. Lesser or Dr. Maxwell Benjamin of the Lebanon Hos; staff are always by the bedside. They said night that they had no hope for their patient. Dr. Lindheim’s version of of the soldiers was that he charge of the men, take them direct to the train was all that it was deemed advisable to give the patients—mflk and medicine, At Cleveland several physicians boarded the train and thought some of the soldiers should be taken off and to hospitals. Dr. Lindheim believed he could get all the men to New York and insisted on doing so. Dr. Lindheim is twenty-seven years old. He became a surgeon of the Red Cross three years ago. He joined the sth Regi- ment two years ago. He went to the front as a corporal and was given a place in the hespital corps. Dr. Lesser says that Dr. Lindheim should have nothing but praise for the werk he has done with the Sth, and quotes Surgeon Major Neff as saying that Dr. Lindheim is the only surgeon who ever had charge of such a body of men and took them safely such a distance. ———_+e-+—_____ Marine Band at White House.
