Tlie weather was perfect, the air being just cool enough to put life into the players, and the sky was without a cloud.

E lie oil Arden flavor developed in Kokomo this week, in the autumn 01 lotio Aaron Swain, then a resident of ^lechanicsburg. Henry county, took tiie gold fever and went to California, leaving a wife and two children, a daughter 6 veai's old and an infant son, promising to return isi a few years with the expected fortune. He accumulated the fortune, but did uot return.

At first a few letters came, but they soon cease,u, and the family gave him up for dead. Twenty years passed, and the husband not returning, Airs. Swain married again, and has a second crop of children in Henry county. Twenty years ago the daughter was married to Goor.co V.'. Ci uiu-r oi.' tins city and thuy have a son 13 years old.

Yesterday ths long-missing mau walked into the home of his daughter, declaring himself very much alive after an absence of nearly one-third of a century, and it was a joyous meeting. He was informed that the wifej of his early days, and the mother of his children, was years ago installed in another household and rearing a second fauiiiy, but the intelligence did not materially disturb him. "She has 110 per cent over me on that score," he replied. "I have another wife and family in California myself." The original Mrs. Swain is expected up from Henry couuty tomorrow, and the meeting of the aged couple will be an interesting one. All parties concerned are on the most friendly terms.

FIFTY-NINC HO

While the step taken by the defense in calling Duraut's classmates to the stand is generally regarded as a bold move, it can not be said that it resulted to the niM erial advantage of either side. The tesniiiony of o!) witnesses who were placed o.|i the stand was important insofar as it went to refute the contention of the prosecution that somebody else answered Durant's name 011 the (lay of the murder. O11 the other hand, the prosecution contends that the testimony is unimportant, inasmuch as 73 students might give satisfactory evidence for the defense, while the 74th member of the class, if he could bo found, would give evidence that tlie prosecution so much, desired.

Great stress was laid by both sides yesterday on the memory of the witnesses as to the individual students who attended thi lecture. While the prosecution showed that no one of the students who were placed on the stand remembered seeing Durant at the lecture, the defense brought out the fact that the witnesses did not remember any other student who was present. Yesterday's testimony, therefore, resulted in 110 material advantage to either side.

Ernest McCuliough, a civil engineer, testified with regard to the dimensions and interior arrangement of Opp^nheim's pawnshop. The object of the testimony is supposed to have been to show than Oppeulieirn, who is nearsighted, could not have pctfitivly. identified the man who is said to have tried to pawn one of Blanche Lamont's rings.

THE OLD ADAGE.

Kor Wftys That Are Dark and Tricks That Are in Vain. LONDON, Oct. 3.—Sir Halliday Mac-

Cartney, counselor of the Chinese legation here, referring to the acceptance by China of the ultimat mil of Great Britain, has made a statement to tho effect that the punishment of tiie viceroy of riae-Chueii for tailing to protect tlie missionaries in his district, was decided upon before the ultimatum was presented, and that the Chinese minister in London received notice of the issuing of the decree at 2 p. in. 011 Sunday.

It is understood in official circles here that the degradation of the viceroy of Sze-Chiien by 110 means settles the matters in dispute between Great Britain and China. It is added that the action of China does not all'ect the possible claims for indemnities and the demands for reforms made by Great Britain.

Pwfessor R. E. K. Douglass has written a letter to The Times in which lie says that Viceroy Liu Ping Chang was degraded last Nevember, and it is now thought that the recent action of the Chinese government Js uothiag more than a trick to deceive Great Britain.

At St. Brides church, Fleet street, this city, yesterday, there was a farewell service, held prior to the departure of 100 missionaries for various foreign stations. Of this number 24, including 15 women, go to China.

LEAKAGE OF GAS.

Several ISuildings Damaged by ail Explosion That Followed. NEW YORK, Oct. 3.—Workmen who

were engaged in connecting the diWu pipes of the house at 310 West Thirtyninth street with the sewer cracked the main gas pipe, but did not notice that gas was leaking when thuy filled in the excavation they had made. About 2:30 o'clock the policeman 011 post at Thirtyninth street heard a call for help from the house at 310, and 011 reaching it found the four children of Mrs. Belmont nearly suffocated from tiie gas. A surtreon succeeded after an hour's work in restoring them to consciousness.

A man who cabled himself an expert arrived a boat 4 o'clock and started to look for the leak. Shortly afterward lie lit a match and immediately there was a terrible explosion which shook the houses in the neighborhood and broke the glass in the windows and blew out the doors covering the cellar holes.

Crockery, pictures and I'liruituro were thrown about and smashed in the houses Nos. !5]2, 311 and 310 West Thirty-uini street, and many of the tenants in these houses were injured by the Hying glass and also by the flames. Many of them were so affected by the gas that they had to bo carried into the street.

CHINA.

Two Facf i'ltn Fight Over Water Itijlits for Several r! out In vol ving Many Vil

lages and Causing a Large Number of

Deaths- .V cial Deputy Appointed to

Investigate tlie Case. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 3.—Two large

villages, Pien-Cheng and Lang-Cheng, distant sere:! mile.- fr-yin Ty-6aua, in the Canton province, Chiua, were recently the scenes of shocking deeds in cannibalism and wanton destiuction of prod active property.

The Swatow correspondent of the China mail on Alii.'.'. forwarded the details oi' the light between the two communities, which was precipitated by a dispute over water rights. By a night- attack the people of Lang-Cheng cur the. si a embankment and let in the water so as to destroy a large part of their enemies' crops, then almost ready for cutting.

Reprisals followed, and though the villages are distant only 30 miles from is a liong, the lighting continued for over a month, involving many villages and causing a large number of deaths. The worst feature, however, is this. By one side three and 011 the other four prisoners were taken alive. These men. were killed and eaten, seven in all.

It was not in this case as in some others, an eating of the heart or gall only. Every eatable portion was consumed, most of it being given to the children of the respective villages. Though not unprecedented in that district, such an act of cannibalism is unusual and led to the appointment of a special deputy to inquire into the case.

ATLANTA EXPOSITION.

Everything in Full Swing and iu Good Shape For Visitors. ATLANTA, Oct. 3.—The exposition is now in full swing, the exhibits are in shape and the city has made the arrangements necessary for the comfort of visitors.

Many private houses, however, are open to the public, and in the best parts of the city there are hundreds of rooms in private houses to be had for 75 cents a day, some of these houses being located 011 Peach Tree street, the fashionable thoroughfare of Atlanta. Railroad facilities are adequate and special rates are given to the exposition, while for such extras as shaving the price nowhere exceeds 15 cents.

AN OLD LADY SUICIDES.

Ilcr Mind Ail'i-cird by Brooding Over Imaginary Troubles. MOUNT WASHINGTON, Ky., Oct. 3.—

Mrs. Aggie Vv'igginton, 80 years old, committed suicide in the. country near here by hanging herself. The old lady's mind has been affected for some time, and she has beeu brooding over binary troubles which lintuiy eu -t in a decision to end the life tiiat j.ad so nearly run its course.

Going to an orchard near the house she found a ladder which she placed against a tree. Climbing this she tied one end of ft rope to a limb 15 feet from the ground and the other end around her neck. She then pushed the ladder from its support and swung off. When found by her son. Dr. Wigginton, she was dead and all efforts to revive her proved unavailing.

Jioxing Contest.

MASPKTII, N. Y., Oct. 3.—The boxing show of the Empire Athletic club, held at Long Island City, furnished those interested an opportunity to see another international contest.
