TAGUE FJ5ARS OF RELIGIOUS FNEMIES CniCAGO, Sept. 10. The whereabouts of Miss At a, the English woman philanthro pist, is unknown. She has been living at the Tcsideuce of Bcv, Dr. Bolton. Last evening Miss Ava and Mrs. Bolton droe to the Catholic Church on West Twellth street. Miss Ava entered the building and Mrs. Bolton waited for her in the carriage. Miss Aa told her companion she only in tended hauiig-a talk with the priest. Mrs. Bolton waited a half hour, and finally became alarmed when Miss Ava did not return. She remembered that the mis sionary had-spoken of receiving letters, in which her life was threatened, and feared she had rome to harm. Mrs. Bolton at once notified the police. Detectives whowcre tent out learned from the priest at the church that Miss Ava had called, and after 15 minutes' conversation had gone away. All efforts to trace lie: have thus far been fruitless. 3IISS AVA'S MISSION". 3HssAva is siid to bo very weilthy, and has devoted her time and inonov to indulg ing her houbv for "slumming." Her friends ly that her crusade against wrong has made her many enemies, w ho hav o threatened her life and sworn to serve her as Dr. Cronln was treated. Francis Mirigay and family, who aie in charge or the house at ZiS West Monroe roe street, are very much my stifled ovei the snddcu disnppeamncc of Miss Avi. Mrs. MIngay, an elderly lady, said that Miss Ava came to bor five weeks ago and requested her to take care of her residence at the abov e number. "Miss Ava left the house yesterday after noon," said Mr. Mingay in a very excltod manner. "A cariiago was waiting at tho door for bcr, and I cannot imagine what has become of hei. When she first camo here she continually compl lined about tho Cath olics, and that she was afraid they would take her life. Tuesday she lecolv ed a letter, and when she read it became 'unusually ex cited. From what she said to my daughter, wlio waited upon her, tho letter contained threats to do away with her. I heard her say that Mie was nft. lid that a bomb would be pliced under the house by her enemies to blow her up. Miss Alice Mingay positively refused to say any thing about hei mistress' disappear ance, and when questioned, said she was ignorant of Miss Ava's doings. IIEIt TIltST APPEAKAKCTi Mrs.Dr. Bolton had this to say. "Miss Ava first made herself known to rayhusbindat a prayer meeting in the Centenary Chinch about four w ccks ago now. Sho impressed both my husband and my self with the belief I that she v,i$ a peilect lady, and that what she said of hei experience in the White chapel district of Loudon was ttuo "In appearance Miss Ava wis what ono would call prepossessing. I should think she was about 3S years of age. She was a blonde with blue eves, and must havo weighed fmlv 210 pounds. In hermanner 6ho never even for a moment aroused the slightest suspicion that she had anv partial ity for the Catholic faith i fact winch has been suggested to me since her disappear ance. She did not state to me the exact business she expeeted to transact there, and I never questioned her, cspeclilly when I noticed she was adverso to telling her miB sion "She was receivedinto my husband's con gregation on probation two w eok's ago.

AN OIL WELL IN A LAKE. The successful close of a "makkaule experiment. EE- St. Mary's Reservoir, the largest Artificial Body or Water in tho World, Soon to Bristle All Over With Derricks A Prop osition From the Standard. ST. Mabvs, O., Sept. 10. Speria?. The Mars Oil Company, with James Knoppen berger, the famous oir king, at the head, j esterday drilled their No. 1 on the Stearns lease, the well being located in the big res ervoir about 600 feet out into the water. The derrick, shed and engine house are sup ported on high posts, and the workmen are conveyed to and fro by means of a boat built expressly for that purpose. A sub stantial and water-tight board wall is built around the derrick to prevent the oil from getting into the water. The well was shot yesterday evening, every precaution being takei Irom getting the least bit of oil into tho greatest artificial lake in the woild. Accoi dingly, the shot vias lot down into the well while the derrick was tightly boarded tip and a huge block anchored down within six inches of tho casing head to keen the crude from shooting through th" derrick into the water. Wesley McDonald, State Marshall, was sent here by the Board of Public Works from Columbus purpoelv to see how the experiment w oi iced, this being the first instance in the United States where an oil well was drilled inten feet of water. nnd in company with A. b. Dill, Frank Konley and The Dispatch conespondent drove out to the reservoii to see tho well shot To siv the experience was successful is putting it mild. Tho well is a good one, and work Is being commenced on one nbout 7 feet distant. There i not the least sh idow of a doubt that tho territory beneath the reservoit is ono of the most valuable for oil production iu the world, as there nas been large gush ers struck on both sides of tho water, tho south side, howcvei, having Just been opened lately. Since drilling will be per mitted in the reservoir the nctivity will be something wonderful, ns operators have dozens of big producers located on tho water's edge only waiting the opportunity of getting out into the water. lour ropresentivo has it on good authority that the Standard Oil Compmy hns mido the State a flattering ofier for a lense of the reservoir at $100,0 cash bonus andalanta rovalty, and that the State was in a fair wav ready to consider the proposition. Should its pi oposition be accepted, it would at once construct huge tank boats to conv ey the oil from its w ells in the reservoir out and down the Miami and Uric Canal. Should tho pio jeet be a go.lt would make the already famous St. Mary's oil field the center of at traction throughout the United States. BALVADOB'ir THIRD DESTRUCTION.

I ADVISED BY SPIRITS. How Searlcs Won the Widow Hop kins' Heart and Millions. FAILURE OP THE COMPKOMISE. Timothy Kefuses $3,250,000 to Eettle and Stop the Content. HE WANTS AT LEAST HALF TIIE:STATE New YoitK, Sept. 10. It has been fre quently, stated sine" Timothy Hopkins de termined to contest his foster mother's will, that he vi ould claim undue influence, and offer to prove the unsound mental condition of Mrs. Hopkins-Scarles at the time she disinherited hira. He or his numerous at torneys never intimated how they expected to prove this in court. Family gossips have, however, unfolded the plan of cam paign. It appears that the influence which the obscure paper-hanger is said to have ex erted was similar to that of the high spook priestess, Ann O'Delia Diss Debar, when she led Lawyer Luther R, Marsh a pretty lively dance. It is generally understood that Mr.Searles is on apostle of spiritualism, and that most of his associates are engaged in fathoming the mystery of communication with de parted spirits. "When he went to San Fran cisco it is said he found the old ladv deeply engrossed in the mysteries of spiritualism. At her house were the two sons of Dr. Crook, who in jest nmused Mrs. Hopkins bv pre tending to converse with the invisible in habitants of spookland. These conferences began to take on a serious aspect, for Mrs. Hopkins became a devout believer, so when Mr. Searles proclaime 1 himselt on apostle of the faith he was invited to join their evening circle in the drawing-room. A SrF.CDY CONVERT. Spirit rappiugs and slalre writing were produced by the paper-hanger, and the old lady became enraptured when he summoned the spirits of her departed friends and transmitted messages from them to her. One or the Crook hoys, in relating tho inci dents that occurred at these family reunions, tells this story: "The gift of a house to Timothy Hopkins came about in a peculiar wny. Mrs. Hop-klns-Searlesand myself were seated at the seance table ono night when suddenly sbo asked tho spirit or my father Jf she should deed the Menlo Park residence to her sbn Tlmothvat once or wait until it was owned bvthe Stnte. Seniles heard the question, and quick ns ikflasli I saw that he wanted a negnttvo nnsw er. "Something told me then that Searles had his eye on the widow's estate, and did not wnnt Tim Hopkins to grow anv closer to his mother. I also know that if Searles w on he w ould havo no further use for me. Answers alwav s came by the table tipping, and I de termined it should be in favor of Tim. It then became n question of muscle between Searles and myself, but I was too much for him, nnd in spite of his efforts to hold the table down I tipped it. As soon as this an 9W er wns given Searles proposed to close the seance for the evening From t at time on I watched Searles' efforts to influence Mrs. Hopkins, and when he had canicdhis point he found an excuse for sendingmo away. C. P. Huntington knew all about this, nnd I be lieve he, too was a believer in Spmtalism at ono time." TRIVATE SEANCES. An old friend of the Hopkins family says it has been generally known for several years that Mrs. Hopkins Searles was a firm belicvorin spiritualism and in Mr. Searles' power to communicate with the dead. Pri vite seances woie often held at tho Great Birrington honse and at Methnen, he savs, the worshipers including some of the most celebrated mediums. "I havo frequently heard," said this gen tleinnu, "that it wns throngh spiritualistic communication that Mrs. Hopkins married Mr. Searles, and that tho same influence is what caused the adopted son to be disinher ited. "As the story goes there was spirit writ ing in Mis. Hopkins' drawine room one night Mr. Searles wns the medium. When the slate wns oponod he was the first to read the message. It was an injunction from sptritl ind that Mr. Searlcs should many 3118. Hopkins. Of courso Mr. Searles was greatly embarrassed, and ho started to rub out the wilting, but Mis Hopkins snatched tho slate and quickly scanned the message Th it ended the seance for that evening "It was not long after that Mr. Searlcs, In the presenio orsovcral friends, tmt his arms affectionately around Mrs. Hopkins and kissed her, while she in return announcod him as her affiinced husband." Timothv Hopkins hns furnished hhnseir with affidavits concerning his foster mother's spiritualistic tendencies, and he will endeavor through his attorneys, to convince the Massachusetts courts that Mr. Searles obtained absolntc control over the old lady by fraudulent spirit manifesta tions. LOCATION OP THE BLAME. It will also be contended that Searles used the same influence to keep him out of Ins rightful inheritance Timothy Hopkins will a!o try to prove that during her last illness Mrs. Hopkins Searlcs v.as isolated from her friends and relations, and tint Mr. Searles stood guard over herday and night until she died. This spiritualistic nhaso ofher life, and the fact that she was brought under its con trol by Mi. Searles. is tho b isis of the charge of undue influence. It will also be urged that, as Mrs. Hopkins became so easily con verted Jn her old age, It should be proof positive she was of unsound mind. It has been stated that no attempts have yet been made toward a settlement of the contest, but It is nowiposltlvely known that the account published lecently of the negotiations between the attorneys on both sides was true in every important particu lar, liin negotiations were opened by Kus scll Wilson, Mr. llopkins' Calilornii law yer. He called on Messrs Stillman and Hlibbaid, nttoraoy for Mr. Seniles and managers of the estate, and they officially told them of Mr. Hopkins' inten tion to contest the will. Mr. Wilson wished to know what sort or pi oposition Mr. Searles w ould like to make toward a settlement of his client's claim Mr. Stillman replied that Mt.Searleslnd never desired to ignore Mr. Hopkins On the contrary, Mr. Seailes had spoken or a liberal settlement, and the at torney said he was satisfied that an amicable arrangement could be reached without re course to the courts. rAILUBE TO COMPKOMISE. Nothing further was done until Mr. nop kins arriv ed. Then Mr. Wilson and his asso ciate counsel, Judge Boalt, were informed by Messrs. Stillman and Hubbard that Mr. Seirlos was willing to give Mr. Hopkins $3,250,000 in full settlement of his claims When tho amount was mentioned both of ti,o fNilifhmin. law vers looked Rurnrised nirl then returned to the Hotel Brunsw ick to re peat the proposition to their client. The next day they told Messrs. Stillman and Hlibbaid that Mr. Hopkins would not even consider the offer. "How much does Mr. Hopkins ask" said General Hubbard. "Well, really, gentlemen, the meaeer offer made to us tikes ns so completely bv sur prise that it scarcely seems as if anv settle ment can possibly he made outside of tho courts," was Mr. Wilson's replv. Tho result wns telegraphed to Mr. Searles at Methuen, who telegraphed back that ho did not care to continue furthernegotiations w ith Mr. Hopkins' attorney. If Mr. Hopkins would come to Methnen and talk the matter over, Mr. Scirles telegraphed, he thought they would have no difficulty in reaching a satisfactory undcistanding. Mr. Hopkins went to Methuen thnt night and last Saturday spent part of the day with Mr. Searlcs. They did not, however, come to torms: for Mr. Hopkins demanded an equal share of the estate and would, listen to no other proposition. He left Mr. Searles and Joined Joseph II.

SHE HAD HEEN WANDERING IN THE MOUNTAINS FOR TWO DAYS. The Little One Is Discovered After Many Hoars' Tireless Search Asleep Under a Tree Joy of the Mother on Recovering Her Girl. SnAMOKiN, Sept. 10. Special Annie Kerns, 10 years old, after being in the mountains for two days and nights, was found to-day. On Tuesday morning Annie went into the yard and didn't return. Mrs. Kerns became worried, and asked neighbors about the- child. Ko one had seen her. The mother "was thoroughly alarmed when the men returned from the mines. Everybody on the squire joined in a searching party. All West Coal township heard about the missing girl, and parties scoured all the places where it was thought the little one might be. This morning the Kerns were beginning to think that the baby of the home had been killed. During the morning a crowd started to explore the mountains, and bv nightfall there were 1,000 men, women and children, with packs of dogs, going over Hills and valleys, streams amf thickets. Word was sent to the nearbytown of Trev ei ton, and men from that place went into the Gap Mountain and started toward Shamokii. They met a wood chopper, who said lie saw a "little gill playing on the shores of a brook early Wednesday morn ing. Sho was barefooted and said her name was Kerns. She was on her way home. He left her play ing w ith the leaves ond making mud puddles in the sand. The brook was visited, bnt the clufd was not there. One hundred ynrd9 off and near the base of the cliff was found apiece of a dress, which was recognized as Annie's. A fovy miles from the brook John Murray found the child. She was sound asleepun der a big tree. Her face bore marks of suffering, and her legs were bruised. Her chubby feet were blistered, and her lips weic blue from cold. Murray awakened her. Sho looked at him vacantly and cried: "Will mamma whip me?'' When asked how sho got lost, Annie could not siy, for hor mind had been temporarily unbalanced by her suffering. Murray took her down the mountain. When Mrs. Kerns saw tho crowd bringing Annie up Spruce street sbo cried for joy. It was a glad return and the men cried with her. ' SENSATIONAL ABDUCTION.

ANOTHER WAR TERROR Shown by Two Practical Test3 tp Be a Pronounced Success. MONSTER PROJECTILES OP DEATH. Dr. Justin's Big Dynamite Shells Are Fear fully Destructive. BESULTS OP THIS NEW EXPERIMENT te'PEClAI, TELEGRAM TO TUB DISPATCTI.! Syracuse, Sept. 10. Dr. Joel G. Justin the inventor of the dynamite cartridge, by a practical test of his invention at Perryville, Madison county to-day, proved its value to the science ofbrdnance. Since Dr. Justin's disastrous experiments he has confined his attention more closely to the mechanical construction of the projectile of which he is the inventor. The shells first used were rough and imperfect in their construction and weak in some parts, where they should have been strong, The doctor was certain that the principle was all right at all times, but the failures made forced him to acknowledge to him self that he was ignorant of the action of the shell when it was beine projected from the gun. To this problem he addressed himself, and the results of the experiments to-day satisfied him that he had solved it. In the experiments made a perfected shell was used. Three shots in all were fired, two of them from a five-inch Parrott rifle and one from an eight-inch BIa,kley gun. The range over which these were thrown was about a half mile in length and termi nated at a great wall of limestone rock. HEAVILY CHARGED SHELLS. The two five-inch shells were the first thrown. These were loaded with 41 ounces of nitro-gelatine each. Seven pounds of powder was used in the gun. The powder in the gun was exploded Dy means of elec tricity. On the first discharge tbero was a puff of smoke, followed bv a deafening roar, as the shell was sent spinning against the limestone wall. There it rebounded several hundred feet into the air and glit tered in the sunlight. It then fell Into tho bed of the creek In the bottom of the ravine, without having been exploded. As it has been the object of the Inventor in making these experiments to get tho shell to leave the gun without first exploding, this shot was looked upon as the most successful of all, as it did not explode after having been dm en with such terrific force against the rocks. The second small shell was fired with like success, though it landed in soft earth below the rock ledge where the other shell had struck. This sbell did not. ex plode, and when recovered, the nitro-gelatine and the inner chamber of tho shell wero found to be in the same condition as when loaded into the shell. A 1IONSTER PBOJECTILE. The grand display, however, wai when the large shell was thrown from the Blakely gun. This contained 150 pounds of nitro gelatine, and was expelled from tho gun by CO pounds of powder. Tho first puff of smoke from tho gun had not time to rlso a foot before the monster projectile struck the target. The shell was seen to strike first and then the roar of the cannon was heard. Then great rocks, bonlders, earth nnd shrubs tilled the atr- in the vicinity of the target. Following this was heard the second report, that of a shell exploding The sight was ahont two seconds more rapid than tile transmission of sound in each instancey so that tho effects of the shot could be seen before tho explosion wa3 heard. The explosion of tho 150 pounds of nitro-gelatine dislodged about 17 tons of limestone rock, which rolled down into the ravine, tearing np tho small trees in Its path by the roots. The echoes of the last shot had not died away when three rousing cheers wero sent up by the spectators for Dr. Justin nnd'iis sbell. Another experiment will bo made during tho present month, at which there will be a delegation rrom the Italian Gov ernment and from our own Government. LONGEVITY OF ATHLETES. Excessive Training Seems to Shorten Bather Than Lengthen Life. Did it ever -occur to yon that athletes are rarely long-lived? asKs Peter J. McNally, the athlete and trainer, of Boston, in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. By athletes I mean the folks who are training themselves continually for special feats of muscular power, and I leave out the dilettante ama teur who exercises slightly, comparatively speaking, and then with only tiie object of physical development. It is my opinion that as a rule the professional athlete is not a very good risk for the life insurance peo ple. And this as'de from any risks ot phys ical injury of a sudden nature to which the athlete in the course of his performance may he subject. I think it would seriously stump you if I asked you to name a dozen cases of extreme longevity among men who have been famous for their muscular power and ikilL But any body can name a dozen people who have led sedentary lives from boynood and attained extreme old age. Verv stranze as it mav appear, consump tion is a disease to which the swimmer, the oarsman, the runner and the fighter have all on numerous occasions fallen victims. Rheumatism is another common disorder. All of which sometimes makes me think that nature never intended the development of the human physical energies to the point at which they arc often observed. The ath lete who lives the longest is the man who used to be an athlete and gave up his ath letic fancies and plans before he liad reached middle life. Otherwise, you find that the average of years on earth of athletes is sur prisingly low. DEAD DRUNK IN RAMAZAN. An Arab Who Got Too Much Makes a Circus for His Acqnaintinces. Gentleman's Magazine. The old Latin proverb tells us that the chief tendency of mankind is to go wrong. One day in the town of Souk-Ahras, an Arab' went wrong. The Arabs, being Mo hammedans, are all total abstainers. I con fess that their being such does not recom mend the practice that is, if we are to associate total abstinence from alcoholic liquors with their peculiar ways of life. I dare say this particular Arab broke his pledge. That was bad enough but to break it during the Fast of Eam a7an was worse. He may have, taken very little, perhaps not sufficient to "have made a cabman happy; but it got into the only sort of head he pos sessed. He reeled, he was drunk during Itamazan! Old and young men, boys of every age and calling, immediately gath ered around him and wonld have lynched him. At least 300 people howled and hooted after him through the stinking streets. I formed a better idea of the Arabic language for cursing a man on that occasion than I had done beiore. Billings gate is nothing to it! A native Arab policeman came up with a whip as long and strong as an Australian stockman's. He not only cracked it as loudly, but kept a ring within the crowd as large" as that of a circus.

A Story That Reflects Credit on the Pal ates of Keystone Men. Philadelphia Press. A gentleman well known as a philanthro pist, who has an office on Chesfnust street, east of Broad, tells this story: "When quite a young man I made one of a party of Pcnnsylvanians who attended a large excursion to the Mammoth Cave, Ky. Parties from various points along the route boarded the train on the same er rand. After passing an unimportant station, the nama of which I hive forgotten, a large, fine-looking gentleman arose in his 'seat and said: 'Is there a gen tleman here from Pennsylvania1' One of our party acknowledged that he was aPenu svlvanian, whereupon the questioner said, 'Lend me vour corkscrew, will you?" My friend did so. It was used and politely returned, when my friend said: "Why did you ask the question, 'Is there a gentleman from Pennsylva nia present," and immediately upon finding that there was, ask for a corkscrew?' rWhy, said the borrower who introduced himself as Colonel Blank, 'it is a well-known fact that no Pennsylvanian is ever caught away from, home without his corkscrew. We Kentuckians have the reputation of know ing and drinking good liquor, but you, Pennsylvanias know good liquor when you see it, and are never without the means to get at it.'" HEEEITECTIVE HETH0D.

And after that the years crept slowly by, one way and another, and Numarri learned , to lie oh a great variety of subjects, bnt his mother's biscuit ever remained a topic too sacred to be profaned by ia the presence of scoffer'.
