AN ENOCH ARDEN CASE. SIXTEEN YEARS ON THE PATH OF HIS WIFE. Wri. Carroll Hurled tlm Minified Victim of a It.llroHd Wreck in Her Ilnibumt mill 1 hen Mm nt Lavt. HARLES CAR- roll of Hamilton, recently ended sixteen years' search for his wife and three children.

He found two of his children in Evanston, a Chicago liljsuburb. He learned ''also that his wife is a resident of that place, but that sho Is the wife of another man and the mother of another family. Tho long search and its ending developed from a railroad wreck, sixteen years ago, and the identification of one of the victims as Charles Carroll. The victim was buried by Mrs. Carroll, in the full belief she was a widow.

Work was Scarce in Hamilton, and one day he- decided to look for a better location In Toronto. "Good-bye" were said to his wife and the throe years old; Theresa, 3 years old, and Thomas, 1 year he set out to better his fortune. He had not lime to reach Toronto when news was received in Hamilton that the train upon which he departed had been wrecked. A number of persons were killed and among these was one supposed to be Charles Carroll. An aunt of Mrs.

Carroll, Mrs. Trcn- worth, went to the scene of the wreck and identified one of the bodies as that of the husband. The body was taken to Hamilton and laid in the town cemetery. Mrs. Carroll was compelled by circumstances to seek moans of sustenance- for herself and children.

She learned of an opportunity to earn a livelihood la Denver, Colo, Disposing of her effects, Mrs. Carroll took her children and started for that place. She found inducements in Chicago, while passing through that city, to remain, and did so. After awhile she was married and went to make her home in Evanston. Carroll, meanwhile, had not been in the wreck and was.

uninjured. In a few weeks after he reached Toronto ho obtained work and then wrote to his wife. He received no answer, for by that time the funeral was over and Mrs. Carroll and the children gone, Carroll returned to see what was the reason he could get no answer to his letter. He was told that Mrs.

Carroll, believing that she had buried him, had gone to Denver. Carroll set out to find her. When he got to the Colorado city no trace of his wife was to be found. Carroll then searched all through California, Arizona and other western states. Afterward he returned to Hamilton and began the search anew.

Finally ho went to Chicago and obtained work with Contractor C. T. Bartlett in Church street, Evanston, whose office Carroll's children passed each day on their way to and from school, He was there three years, Carroll gave tip this situation at tho cloee of the world's fair and returned to Hamilton, where he engaged In business. He prospered. Last fall be took a trip through Minnesota.

He was Injured in a railroad wreck and lay In a hospital for many weeks. While In the hospital he received a letter telling him that his wife and children were In Evanston. When he recovered he began searching for them. The other day he rapped at the door of the residence of Edward Mersch at 1005 Sherman avenue, Evanston. Mrs.

Mersch was afraid of DAUGHTER DISINHERITED. Annie Gles llitd Importuned Her Father for Money. Annie Rosalie Gles was- disinherited by her father, Christian, because she importuned him for money, says a New York dispatch. The wiil was filed In the Surrogate Court in that city the other day. It bequeathed an estate valued at $100,000 to hie son Rudolph, and cut his daughter off with 5500.

"My reason for not making better provision for my daughter," says Mr. Gics in his will, "is that of late years sho has been constantly annoying mo, and within the past two years Jias brought euIts against mo, believing that my physical ft en I tit would prevent me from defending the actions," The will was read to Miss Gies by a newspaper reporter. "I have nothing to say," she said, "further than that I never any trouble with my father to cause him to disinherit me. He and I were on goort terms when he died. I will contest the will, as I believe that undue influence was exercised over him by Interested persons." BASE BALL GOSSIP.

Consequently he never rode in a horse car or elevated train, never saw the Brooklyn bridge, nor had he ever been below Fourteenth street tor the last twenty-five years. He was a thrifty, saving German, and worked as a barber, when a young man.

Me invested his earnings in an uptown property and its increased valuation made him rich. He was married throe times and with each of her stepmothers his daughter Quarreled. As a result she became estranged from her father, and some time before his death brought suit against him for $10,000, and this caused her disinheritance.

Later, when her husband returned home, she told him that a stranger had inquired for the husband, who is an engineer lor the Ev- acston flro department, and looking out of the window she saw the same Btranger, Merseh went out and the man said: "May did not treat rce well." Mersch asked fiow the stranger knew Ills wife's name." "She Is my daughter," was the ply. The stranger was Charles Carroll, and he was -invited in. Mrs Merecb then told her father that other daughter was Mrs.

John Morrell, and the wife ot the superintend: ent of the Evanston Electric and Illuminating company. The boy, Thomas, aho was in Batavia, 111. Mrs, Mersch then explained that her mother had learned two ago that Charles Carroll was alive, hut being married and liie mother o( another family, she had applied, for and received a decree of divorce from him. She refused to give her mother's present name, and Charles Carroll will re- iturn to Hamilton without seeing bin i former wife. Four Gncllilimen Who DIod on a Iiliinrf In the Venr 1840.

Uncle Robert William Quimby Lewiston says that he has traveled in all the warm countries of the globe, and that he has been in the coldest lat- tltudes, says the Lewiston Journal. He does not think that we have such very hot weather. If people would make provision for the hot days as they do in India he thinks we should not notice It BO much. "But," says he, "the warmest weather that I ever experienced was on a small Island called John's Biscuit, off Cape Graclas, on Honduras. The Elizabeth Jennings, on which I sailed In 1870, from Portland, stopped there for water, and a boat's crew went ashore for it.

It was a little volcanic island and awfully dry and hot. We didn't know whether there would be water there or no, but we did find a spring with a stream as large as a broom handle pouring out all tbe time. And do you believe me. The water was dried up and soaked up before It had run four feet In tbe sand. The place was covered with dried trees, and a litllc distance away was what looked like a habitation for man.

We went, in and found the shrunken remains of four sailors probably, who had died In one night, to Judge from appearances. One was sitting in a chair, one lying on the floor and two leaning 'against the in a sitting position. There was dry food on the table, dry meat in a box and everything was burning dry. A letter In the pocket of one mail was dated Liverpool, and on the table was a bottle with a noto In it, evidently Intended to be cast adrift. It said they were four English seamen marooned by a captain, left to die.

The note was dated 1S4C, arid I suppose they had been tbere dead in that but for over thirty years, and they must have died of heat In one day and dried right up. We left them where we found them." iipt.

"It is not by any means a certainty that base ball can be played without coaching. If after an experiment of about a month It is found that the public is In favor of a return to the old way of communicating with tho players from the coach' line, then the coaching rule should be put into effect again. It isn't by any means a certainty that the game will be as effective under a law that does away completely with coaching. A good mechanical ball player, for Instance', who Isn't quick of thought when on the bases, and doesn't possess the Judgment that makes him a skillful baso runner, will be well nigh helyless.adrift in a fog, so to speak, if he isn't coached. It Is all -very nice to say that thess mechanical, slow-thinking ball players are paid to think fast, but you can't furnish them with new seta of brains.

The majority of players are not in favor of the abolition of the coach rule." Post. nniith of mi Old I'lnyer. Curtis B. Welch, who was at one time one the most phenomenaroiitfieldero in the profession, died of consumption on August 29, at his home at East Liverpool, Ohio. He first played professionally in 18S3, as the center fielder of the Toledo club, which won the championship of the Northwestern League that season.

He remained with the Toledo team during 18S4, when it was a member of the American Association. Welch next joined the St. Louis Browns, and his bard hitting, great fielding and clever base running contributed materially toward that team's success In winning the championship la ,1885 and 1880. It would be hard to find his equal as a center fielder, he being a sure catch and covering a great deal of ground, some of his running catches being of the sensational order. The official averages show that he has led the center fielders of the American As- socia'tion for several seasons, 'He waa also remarkably clever as a batsman and base runner, and in this respect did more than hie share in winning for St.

Louis Browns the "championship of world," having made two of the four runs scored in the deciding game of the with the Chicago club, on Octo ber 23, 18S6, Including the making the winning run after leading off wit a safe hit In the tenth inning.

Hines, who did such excellent work for the Kansas City club while connected with its team during the last two seasons, wag born Sept, 1S70, at Elgin, 111., and began his ball playing on the open lots around his home at an early age. He soon became the pride of the village on account of his heavy batting, and gained sufficient local renown to obtain him engagement with the Milwaukee blub, of Western League, in 1S93. In 189-1 he was with the Minneapolis club, of the same league, and participated in one hundred and thirty championship games, ranking third in tho official batting averages of that league, with a percentage of .427. His clever work not only as a batsman, but as a flelder and base runner, led to his engagement with the Brooklyn club, of the National League, for the season of 1895. The latter club had such a surplus of fielders that year that it could not utilize Hines, and he was farmed to the Kansas City club, of tho Western League.

He took part that year In ninety-one championship games and again ranked high in the ollcial batting averages of that organization, with a percentage of .365. He was released by the Brooklyn club and was re-engaged for the current year by the Kansas Citys. He is looked RIVERSIDE CYCLING CLUB. CLUBHOUSE: No. 527 BROADWAY.

If I call in the homeypath my ollypath son-in-law and his wife git mad, and' if I call in my allypath son- in-law my homeypath son-in-law an' his wife git mad, and if I go ahed an' git well without either o' 'em, then they'll both be mad; so I don't see but I'd better die outright."

Every year since '3-1 there lias been some talk of the abolition of the Temple Cup series. James A. Hart is chief agitator against a plan that puts a. premium on hustling and gives the pennant more than a rating for glory alone. W.

A. Bill." of joiu the Chicago president in the crusade against the post season series. The other night a group of players and scribes were discussing tho question at the Elliott, in Washington, and Captain Ewing was thus "caught" by Joe Campbell without the aid of an amanuensis or a graphophone: "The claim of Messrs. Conant and Hart that a championship team is shorn of some of its glory if beaten in the Temple Cup series Is not sustained by the public. The Baltimore champions were beaten two years in succession tor the Temple Cup, yet they were hailed as enthusiastically by the baee- ball fans in every city of the major league circuit as if they had won the Temple trophy.

Even if my team didn't have a ghost of a show for these games, I would be just as hearty an in- dorser of the trophy contests. Professional ball.players are tickled by public applause, but the ups and downs of the game are so many that they are a practical lot of fellows after all, and while glory and glamour delight and stimulate, there is something that equals it and that'is the money. "Every player In the league knows he has a chance for a share of the Temple Cup lucre, and even if he is in tail-end club he may be transferred lo a team that will contend for this rophy and money. Therefore there i good incentive to hustle oil along he line. These Temple Cup contests have resulted in some of the finest games of ball ever played, close scores, ffectlve pitching, brilliant fielding and klllful batting being the rule.

The ssertion that these 'games beget envy jealousy among the major league players who do not take part is posl- ively without, truth. There Isn't a layer In the league with any of nstincts of a mau who is envious of ,10 success of a brother player." Weak Eyes or Poor Sight. We fit glasses to relieve headache. Do your eyes water?

As a rule triple plays are started by fly balls, but this one was not. Here's how it came about: Kiernan sent a hot one that went through El- Bey's legs at a mlle-a-second gait. Cauliflower attempted to sacrifice, but his tap took a high bound over O'Connor's head. It wae Wellner's turn for a sacrifice, and he hit slowly toward Kleeman. The ball look an awkward bounce, but Kieeman got It by a oae- handed spear and tossed It to Elsey, who covered second, and put but Cauliflower.

Elsey then threw to O'Connor and retired Wellner.
