Leary was relieved of the command of
the reccivlng-shlp Richmond last October
on account of heart trouble, and granted
six months' leave of absence. He was
held In high regard by his fellow-sailors
because of the nerve he showed in the
presence of two German warships in the
harbor of Apia. Samoa, during the stir-,
ring times which wound up in the tre
mendous hurricane that wiped out the
American and German navies in those
waters In 1809. Leary was in command
of the little Adams, a third-rate vessel
of antiquated pattern, and, finding the
Germans about to Interfere forcibly In
support of their own candidate for the
Samoan chiefshlp, he cleared the 'ship for
action, first placing himself in a position
to command either approach, and forbade
any interference. He was not molested,
und remained at his post until the Ameri
can squedron under Admiral Kimberly
arrived, when he was sent north on the
Adams, thus escaping the great hurricane.
He was a unique figure as the first Naval
Governor of the Island of Guam, which he
ruled as he would his ship, breaking up
Immorality by obliging the natives to
marry, calling upon the men for a cer
tain amount of work every week, and
even prescribing the minimum number of
poultry which should be maintained In
each family. He was appointed from
Maryland, and entered the naval service
In 1860. He commanded the San Francisco
during the West Indian campaign of the
Spanish War.

CROPSEY MYSTERY CLEARS
Body of the 3Ussig: Girl Fonnd In
the Itlvcr.
ELIZABETH CITY, N. C. Dec 27. Five
weeks of mystery and speculation as to
the fate of Miss Nellie Cropsey terminated
today at JO o'clock, when the body of the
missing girl was found floating In the riv-
er opposite her father's house. The body
was discovered by J. D. Stillman, a fish
erman. With the exception of some slight
discoloration of the face, the body was
in a state of good preservation and little
decomposed.
Coroner Fearing summoned a jury and
called in three of the best physicians of
the city to make a thorough autopsy, to
learn If there were any signs of violence
on the body. The report made by tue
physicians says:
"The garments showed no marks of vio
lence. There were no external marks of
violence on the head, body or face There
was a discoloration on tho front of the
head and face and on the back of the
neck. An examination of the Internal or
gans showed she was a pure girl. Upon
the" section of the scalp all around the
eye, one inch above the brow, there was a
dark discoloration of the muscular sub
stance. There was no other abnormality
on any other part of the scalp. There
was no fracture discovered at any point
of the cranium. An examination of the
brain showed no evidence of violence."
The verdict of the Coroner's jury fol
lows: "From the investigation made by three
physicians of Elizabeth City, and from
their opinion, and also from our personal
observations, we believe that said Ella
'M. Cropsey came to her death by being
stricken a blow on the left temple and by
being drowned in the Pasquotank River.
We have not yet Investigated nor heard
any testimony touching as to who inflict
ed the blow and did the drowning. We
are Informed that one James Wilcox Is
charged with the same, and is now in cus
tody. We recommend an investigation as
to his or any one else's probable guilt,
and that said Wilcox be held to await said
Investigation."
During the afternoon and evening great
crowds assembled in front of the Acad
emy of Music building, where the jury
was in session, waiting for the verdict as
to whether the girl met with foul play or
committed suicide. Anticipating trouble,
the militia was ordered out, and, by or
der of the Mayor, all the barrooms in the
city were closed. Wilcox was removed
from the .Mayor's office to the County Jail
and a .strong guard placed around the
building. The prisoner maintained the
same indifferent air that has character
ized his actions all the way through the
case.

END OF A LONG MAN HUNT.
Detectives Chcntcd the Pursuer Out
of His Re ven kc.
CHICAGO. Dec 27. Angelo Scalfia,
clo.sely pursued by Antonio Segnio, lushed
into the arms of two detectives in this
city and begged for protection. It was
the sensational termination of a 4000-mile
man hunt In which Scalfia had been fol
lowed for three months and had visited
the principal cities of the Eastern States.
Both men were taken to the Harrison
fetreet station, where Segnio told a re
markable story.
Three months ago he said Scalfia was
arrested in Indian Territory on the charge
of illegally selling whisky. After spend
ing a month in jail he appealed to Seg
nio, a friend, and business man of South
McAlester, and upon assurances by Scal
fia that the firm he represented would
protect him, Segnio mortgaged all his
property and furnished $4000 bonds to se
cure the release of his friend. Upon be
ing released Scalfia immediately disap
peared. The chase began and Scalfia was fol
lowed from place to place until, finally tir
ing of the terrible strain, he appealed to
the Chicago detectives. When taken in
Segnio held a revolver in his hand and
notwithstanding the fact that if Scalfia Is
returned to Indian Territory within five
days, his bond will be saved, Segnio de
clared his real object in pursuing Scalfia
was revenge.
"I started to kill him, followed him for
thousands of miles and then at the last
moment he escapes," ho said. "It is hard;
I would not have it so."
Scalfia admits his identity and appears
anxious to be surrendered to tho United
States authorities to escape a worse fate.

Life Saved by
Paines
Celery
Compound
NATIONAL LODGE, Amalgamated Association of
Iron, Steel and Tin Workers of the United
States.
GENERAL OFFICE, BisscII Block,
407 Seventh Avenue.
PITTSBURG, Pa., October 16, 1901.
In 1899 I was compelled to abandon my profession, because of nervous
prostration consequent upon exposure, hard study and overwork.
A number of physicians declared I would never recover, but I tried
Paine's celery compound and in leas than a year Increased in weight from
141 to 215 pounds.
During the recent strike of the steelworkers, finding myself ready to
collapse and fearing a recurrence of my former trouble, I returned to my
former friend, Paine's celery compound, and already am feeling more vig
orous and able to meet and discharge the duties of my ofllce. '
Yours truly, T. J. SHAFFER, President.
Much so-called overwork of business men Is the overwork of worry,
care, anxiety, haste. These make the severest drafts upon their vitality.
Those who suffer from nervous debility, mental depression, sleeplessness,
or dyspepsia, find Paine's celery compound a powerful restorative. It reg
ulates the liver and kidneys, cleanses the blood, and feeds the nerves and
nerve centers all over the body. Recovery from diseases of the liver, kid
neys and stomach by the aid of Paine's celery compound is lasting. It is
the greatest of all modern restorative agents.
Paine's celery compound Is prescribed by physicians who differ In
many other things but agree in estimating highly this greatest of remedies
for curing diseases of the kidneys, rheumatism, gout, dyspepsia, Brighfa
disease and stomach disorders due to a deranged nervous system.
He declared that speculation in stocks
and grain was the cause of his trouble.
Duddlceton was placed under 53000 bond
to appear before the grand jury of the
St. Clair County Circuit Court, at Belle
ville, January 15 next. He furnlshet

representations by the archbishop of Cali
