TiJ-Vincent Burke, But They ton's Corpse Was Mutilated Are ef No i by Drunken Hoodlums. The Great Mystery which Surrounds their Disappearance and what Cccomes of Them. "Scarcely a day passes that we do not read in the newspapers of some man or woman who is reported missing, and in the majority of cases these people forsake happy homes without any earthly reason for doing so, and their fate often becomes a "The cause tf these disappearances has excited widespread discussion of Into, and sr-mo of our best novelists have founded thrilling romances on this strange subject. But no me has yet been able to find an answer to the question. 'What beeomes of these missing peopls "Perhaps the best explanation of the mystery may be found in the words of a New York physician who is a keen observer.

According to his theory, these peoplo arc from various disastrous maladies, from which they gain no relief. Their surroundings eventually become unbearable to them. their diseased imaginations they fancy everybody is an enemy, although surrounded by friends. Driven t. despair, they at last forsake their homes and become wanderers on the face cf the earth, or else which Is very probable commit suicide.

"Any person who is not in perfect wealth is liable to meet with this terrible fate. Even those who fancy themselves strong, well and mentally sound may become unhappy, morose and despairing. The seriousness of these facts should cause every man and woman to stop, consider, and see if he or she is really well. There are so many dreadful diseases that come upon the system unaware, that show no symptoms, but ruin the life even before we know it. The worst of all troubles of this kind arises from urio acid poison, which, being in the blood, not only causes rheumatism, neuralgia and gcut, but often affects the mind or the vital organs.

Now, the cause of uric acid in the system or in the blood is because the kidneys are either -too weak or too diseased to throw it from the system. When the uric acid is not dischargee! it remains in the blood, poisons the body and often the mind, and causes disease and too frequently death. "Is it not plain and simple, then, that in order to avoid moroseness, pain and often worse things, it is necessary to get rid of this uric acid? This can only be done by helping the kidneys, which may have been weakened, to throw it out and that quickly. "You, reader, who scan these pages, may be in precisely this condition and yet not realize it, but if you are aw-akened and realize the sense of these great truths, you must know that there is but one great and reliable discovery of the present day that can help you in such a case, and that is Wftrner's Safe Cure. All the columns of this paper could be filled with the grateful statements of men and women, not only in America but all over the world, who have been not alone assisted but absolutely cured by the use of this great modern, scientific remedy.

THE GOVERNMENT'S CASE It Claims That tlie Steamer Was Part of a Chain of Vessels to Aid the Cause of Oppressed i- tnbn.

Special to The Inquirer. WILMINGTON, Nov. 12. Argument was heard before Judge Bradford to-day on the jquestion of whether the alleged filibustering steamship Laurada should be forfeited to the government for violation of the neutrality laws. District Attorney Lewis C.

Vandegrift and ex-City Solicitor Charles Curtis appeared for the government and Andrew C. Gray, H. H. Ward and ITnited States Senator George Gray appeared for the vessel-owners. Judge Bradford reserved his decision in the case.

It was held by the defense that the Laurada did not intend to engage in a filibustering expedition in this country, but merely took a cargo to San Salvador, where she was to meet another vessel. The other vessel was not met, and then it was decided not to wait longer for the boat, but to take it in herself. The intention to filibuster was therefore formed and 'carried into effect outside the territorial limits of the United States. The government claimed that the Laurada was a part of a chain in a filibustering movement and was therefore engaged in a filibustering expedition 'and violated the neutrality laws of this country, James Patton was struck and per-haos fatally injured by a shifter at the Market street crossing of the various railroads which enter this city to-day.

INGENIOUS BUT USELESS Senator Voorhecu' Argument Failed and. His Client Was Convicted. Special to The Inquirer. NEW BRUNSWICK, N. Nov.

12. An ingenious argument was made by Senator Foster M. Voorhees in the Middlesex court to-day in his efforts to have the indictment quashed against his client. "Doctor" Charles Smith, for polluting the water supply of this but without success. Senator Voorhees said that the statute did not apply to the present case.

"Why," said he, "according to the strict terms of the statute it would be necessary for -a 'farmer walking along the banks of a stream to take a spade with him, dig up the ground on which he trod and carry it back two hundred feet and bury it two feet under ground." In refusing to quash the indictment Judge Strong said: "Your arguments are very ingenious, but I must overrule them." The jury was drawn and the case went on. The jury brought in a verdict of guilty. Smith had a sanitarium and patients afflicted with malignant skin diseases bathed in the water from which the city supply is derived.

WILKESBARRE, Nov. 12. There was considerable excitement in court this afternoon, when District Attorney Fell went before Judge Bennett, and made a motion for a continuance of the cases against Sheriff Martin and his deputies, who were to be tried on Monday, on "the ground that three of the injured men were still in the H.zleton Hospital and unable to be present. Dr. Keller, superintendent of the Hazleton Hospital, was sworn and said two of the men, John Slobonick and George Aspavich, had gun shot wcunds in the head and bullets in their brain; also that Bernard Runel had bullet wounds through both legs and it would be impossible for them to be present -for at least six months.

Lenaiian, for the defense," said: "We object to the continuation of this case. We are all ready to go to trial. The defense is ready and it is unfair to make this motion for a continuance sixty hours before the time set down for a trial. Attorney H. W.

Palmer also appeared for-the defense and said it was unfair, to delay the trial. There were forty-nine indictments against eighty-three citizens, and that the latter were begging for a trial. Mr. Fell said that irt consultation with Mr. Scarlet and the "other attorneys for the prosecution, he found the witnesses' evidence to be of the utmost Importance.

STILL NO LIGHT ON MILLVILLE'S MYSTERY REWARDS INEFFECTIVE Authorities Still Rnnnins Ont Clues. Denial of Humor of Foul Play in the Woman's Death. Special to The Inquirer.

MILLVILLE, N. Nov, 32. Despite the offer of rewards by. city and cemetery company, the diligent work of the authorities and ambitious efforts of a score of imitators of Sherlock Holmes, the mystery of the exhuming and mutilation of Phoebe Tilton's body remains as dark a mystery as ever Since the ghoulish work was discovered last Sunday morning all efforts to discover the perpetrators of the crime, or fix a motive for. the ghastly work have proven fruitless.

Mayor Payne said to-day the authorities had no new developments, but the police were iuietly working on clues which they have to investigate very carefully. "What is vour oprnioh of the case now?" the Mayor wag asked. "I still hold to the theory that a gang of tounhs who probably, had a grudge against Mrs. Tilton were the perpetrators of the outrage," lie replied. The Mayor said it certainly was not the work of medical men seeking a subject for dissection.

"We thought that if we offered a reward some one would probablj- give us some information that might clear up the mys'tery, but those who.Jtnow anything about it are evidently afraid to talk." the Mayor remarked. The theory that the ghouls probably made a mistake and were after the body of a man who was buried in the plot since Mrs. Tilton's interment is ridiculed by Mrs. Louisa Simpkins, daughter of Mrs. Tilton.

She says the villains sot the body they were after alid made no mistake. John Lupton, in whose home Mrs. Tilton died, said to-day that he Changes in the New Jersey TRKNTON. Nov. 12.

Practical reform has been inaugurated in the Supreme Court clerk's office at Trenton, by William Riker. the Republican who succeeded Benjamin F. Lee, a few days ago. Lawyers can nb-'Toftger dodge payment of fees, as no papers will now be filed unless the charges are paid in advance. All fees, under the new regime go to the State, instead of to the private purse of the clerk.

Mr. Riker is a native of New Jersey and is 48 years old. He- resides in Orange and has served on the Board of Aldermen of that city. In 1893 he i was elected Register of Deeds in Es sex county and has resigned that position in order to accept the new honor. Benjamin F.

Lee, the retiring clerk, held the position twenty-five years un- der a fee svstem which has netted him from to "2.S,HX a year. He will now devote his attention to private business. Mr. Lee was many years the recog- nized leader of the Democratic party i in South Jersey. He was born in thought the work was that of young hoodlums out on a drunken lark, who to create excitement.

He was asked if he thought there was, any foul play in connection with Mrs. Til-tcn's death. He replied, with a show of indignation: "No. I know there was no foul play, as I sat up with her all night until she died." The police are closely watching a. notorious gang of hoodlums who ioaf in a place which has a bad reputation.

If any one of them attempts to leave town he will probably be arrested. The police intimate that arrests may soon be made. Philadelphia detectives are said to be working on the case. WENT FOR DUCKS; LOST AN ARM Accident to Bnyville Man Who Had Gun in His Boat. Special to The Inquirer.

She has shed so many tears and lost so much sleep that her beauty is fast disappearing.

The rosy hue is fading from her cheeks, her eyes are blood-shot and her haiu is unkempt. Mrs. McCusker had two visitors yesterday who tried hard to cheer her up and get her to dry her tears. They were her mother and a 10-year-old niece. "Instead of having a quieting effect their appearance caused a fresh outburst of weeping.

Before she could check her emotions Constable Vliet came in with a sufo-pena for her appearance at the Coroner's inquest on Tuesday next. As Mrs. McCusker heard the sub-pena read her grief increased. She cried hysterically and walked up and down the corridor wringing her hands. Her mother placed an arm about her neck and tried to pacify her.

Her little niece walked 'on the other side of her with one slender arm encircling her waist and a piteous look in heT eyes. It was some moments before the accused woman could control herself. The Coroner's jury, composed of Irvir.g Buckle, foreman; Henry E. Mc-Clasky. John II.
