M. QUAD’S STORY’ •
MISSING.
(Copyright, 1893. by Charles B. Lewis.]
We talk and write of the mysteries of
the sea as if there were no mysteries to
be encountered ashore. He who goes
flown to the sea will be awed and mysti
fied and sometimes made afraid by sights
and sounds, but the peaceful country
and crowded city offer us no less. Al
most everything met with at sea can be
explained by natural causes, but things
happen on land which baffle the shrewd
est and most logical minds to make
. elear.
It is now a quarter of a century since
the strange disappearance of Lizzie Wil
i iiams, and yet the case is as much of a
mystery as it was when 300 people were

W
STRUCK DOWN BY TRAMPS,
searching the fields and forests for her
, dead body. Lizzie was the only daugh
ter of a farmer living on the Wisconsin
river, Wisconsin, between the towns of
Rhinelander and Merrill. She W’as a
handsome, intelligent girl and the belle
of the neighborhood, and her family
were well liked by all. One September
mornrngT in the year ISOS, a tin peddler -
named Joseph Sweet drove up to the
honse. Mrs. Williams made a few pur
chases, and as he was going south the girl
Lizzie decided to ride with him as far as
the house of a friend named Carpenter.
The distance was only a mile, with a
farm between.
This farm was owned by a man named
Endicott, and the peddler stripped at the
house. He left Lizzie on the wagon,
while he went around to the kitchen
door. He found that Mrs. Endicott had
just burned her hand on the stove, and
whefrahe brought a cloth he dressed the
bum and was in the house for perhaps a
quarter of an hour. She went out to the
wagon with him, being told that Lizzie
Williams was there, but the girl had dis
appeared. A few rods away there were a
bend in the road and a bit of woods, and
it was concluded that she had got tired
of waiting and started off on foot. In a
little while the peddler followed her and
■topped at Carpenter’s to learn that she
‘ had not arrived. It then occurred to
him that she must have forgotten some
thing and returned home, but it was a
trifling circumstance and made no im
pression on his mind.
Three days later the alarm was sent
out that Lizzie Williams was mysterious
ly missing. She had not returned home,
nor could it be found that she had called
at any farmhouse for a distance of five
miles either way. After a day’s search
without trace of her the peddler was
overhauled and placed under arrest. His
story was a truthful one and easily veri
fied. The pair were seen by no less than
four different people as they drove up to
-Endicott's, but no one saw Lizzie Wil
=siams after that. As she was gone when
the peddler came out with Mrs. Endicott,
there could be no case against him, no
matter what her fate. Day after day the
search went on, until every foot of ground
for miles around had been inspected.
Then it extended to the towns. The river
was dragged and the case given to the de
tectives.
Something ought to have been discov
ered, but the case stands today as it did
then. A dozen or more “suspects" were
and discharged, and seven or
eight different officials securer! “clews,’’
which promused much, but amounted to
nothing. Not a glove, ribbon or other
relic was picked up. No living person
could be found who saw her after she
left the peddler’s wagon at Endicott’s.
No pedestrian or team passed her as she
sat there. Lizzie loved her home and
could not therefore have planned to run
away. She had no money with her and
was not dressed in her best. The search
was so thorough and extended so far that
had she been living she must have been
found. There have been many theories
advanced as to what became of her, but
none of tin in has covered all the points,
A Chicago detective who worked on
the case for three months gave it as his
opinion that she left the peddler’s wagon
to make the other half mile on foot. The
river was to her left and only a few rods
away. Her attention may have been at
tracted by something queer, and she
walked through the strip of woods to
the bank and accidentally fell in. The
officer found a spot where the bank had
Caved in, and this fact strengthened his (
theory. It was weeks after her disap
pearance, and there was no use to look
for the body |;hen. | (
It is dow about 18 years since the
“conductor mystery" occurred, and the 1
solution is as far away as ever, A rail- I '
road conductor named George Hopkiut 1 ,
Mwfl at ÜbwHiur Green. Kv. At the
THKx WEEKLY TRIBUNE
age' of 25 he was married to a girl Ci
good family and established a home.
Hopkins was a sober, steady man and
well liked by all who knew him. So far
as any one could judge, his home life
was all that could be hoped for, while
his position as conductor was secure and
his salary liberal. He had been married
about 10 months when he arranged <
build him a house. On a certain Tues
uay anernooti no lev Hie contract to a
builder and entered into certain othei
business affairs. He went out at 6 o’clock
that evening, and his wife accompanied
him to the depot. He spoke to several
people on the train whom he knew, and
there was nothing whatever in his looks
or actions to attract attention.
The train reached Nashville on time,
and Hopkins reported and got his orders
as usual. It was half an hour after the
train had pulled out before he was
missed. A telegram was sent back, but
no news of him could be had, Five dif
ferent people saw Hopkins three or four
minutes before his train pulled out, but
no one saw him board the train. Neither
could any one bo found who saw him
leave thadepot or board any other train.
After a couple of days the detectives
were set to work, but they neve| got the
slightest trace of the missing man. Had
he vanished into air like smoke his dis
appearance could not have been more
mysterious.
Was Hopkinsan embezzler? No. On
the contrary, the railroad company was
in his debt. Had he left his wife for an
other woman? That theory was worked
on, but produced no proof. Was he “off"
in his head? All those who had done
business with him that day scouted the
idea, He had about §5,000 in the bank
at home, and not over §3 or §4 with him.
He was a man without an enemy. No
body could find the slightest reason why
he should plan to disappear, and nobody
could see how he could be decoyed away
and disposed of. After months of inves
tigation it was generally concluded that
Hopkins became suddenly insane and
started off into the country; but if so.
how was it possible for him to conceal
his identity? Even the farmers for a
hundred miles around were watching
for him, and the case was known to the
police of every city in the Union.
One detective differed from the gen
eral conclusion, and it may strike you
that he was on the right trail. There
was a freight train standing on the out
side of the passenger train. As was after
ward known, four or five tramps were
in one of the empty box cars. Hopkins
may have been walking between the
trains and been struck down by the
tramps for the purpose of robbery. It
would have been the right thing to do to
lift his body into the car and at some
point down the road fling it into the
bushes or into some ravine.
A case which created widespread in
terest for two or three years, and which
was explained by a horrible discovery
made 10 years after the first alarm, was
that of Professor Cooke of a Baltimore
college. About 30 years ago he went to
the town of Mankato, Minn., to visit
relatives, and one day he took a saddle
horse and rode up the country to look
at some land offered for sale. This was
a journey of 16 miles. The land was
pointed out to him by a settler named
Nelson, who also invited him to dinner.
After dinner the professor started out on
foot to inspect the property, and that
was the last ever seen of him alive. The
horse had been put into a rude stable,
and the saddle was not removed. Some
time during the afternoon he got loose
and started for home.
Next morning two men came riding
up to Nelson’s to see what had become
of the professor. The farmer and his
wife had been considerably worried over
the man’s nonappearance, and they were
glad to see the men and willing to ren
der all possible assistance. The three
men searched all day but could get no
trace of the professor. Next day Nelson
and his wife were arrested for murder,
and 100 men were bunting the woods
and fields to find where the body had
been buried. While no trace of it could
be found the demeanor of man and wife
was declared suspicious. Their stories
did not agree, and when pushed to ex-
■J
V? ' 4'
HIS DOO SCENTED THE SKELETON,
plain matters they relapsed into silence.
The enraged people wanted to torture
the man to make him confess, and if the
sheriff had not got the start of the crowd
both would have been lynched.
When the case came up for examina
tion, Nelson and his wife told a straight
forward story. If there were discrepan
cies, they were of no importance. The
bridle was found in the tarn. where the
horse rubbed it off his head, and the foot
nrinte «f the Otofewdr were found where
KOiihbA.. 11l i KSDvY, J iECEiVIBKh 'i, I<3»
ne naa leaped a creeir. not tne sngntest
legal evidence could be brought against
the couple, but yet two-thirds of the com
munity believed them guilty. The miss
ing man was advertised for, a reward in
cited sheriffs and detectives -o take up
his trail, and there was no k. v.p in the
search for Iwo years. Three or four men
continued it a year longer. It seemed
impossible that the man could have gone
a distance of 26 miles without being rec
ognized. and as in the case of Hopkins
no reason could be found why he should
exile himself.
Ten years later a dog solved the mys
tery. In crossing the creek a mile or so
from Nelson’s house the professor stepped
into a bed of quicksand and was held
fast. Ho probably shouted for assist
ance. out ms cries were not heard. L<
sank feet first, and when the treacher
ous sands closed over his head there was
no trace of his grave. Eight or nine
years later a great freshet changed th<-
course of the creek by many rods. Later
still, as the farmer, was plowing up the
old bed of the creek, his dog scented the
skeleton and uncovered the skull. Help
was summoned and the bones removed,
and enough clothing was left to identify
the dead man to everybody’s satisfac
tion. He had met a terrible death, but
no one was guilty of shedding his blood.
Almost every day one reads of the
"mysterious disappearance” of a well
known citizen, but you have only to fol
low the case for a few days to find that
there were good reasons why lie should
drop out of sight. There is no mystery
where the man is an embezzler or de
faulter or has become infatuated with
an adventuress. The case of Milo Hast
ings was one which hundreds of people
pasted away in their scrapbooks and
which scores of sheriffs and detectives
had reason to growl over. Hastings was
a young man, 23 years old, steady, tem
perate and serious minded. He was half
owner in a foundry at Jefferson City,
Mo., and at the time of his disappearance
was making lots of money and was en
gaged to a handsome girl who would
bring him a fortune.
One day in June, 18G7, he called at the
bank and deposited §B,OOO which had
just been paid in to the linn. He tad a
private account of over §12,000 in the
same bank. He owed no man a dollar,
had never had a quarrel with anybody,
and his health was excellent. He drift
the bank at 2 o’clock with a smile on his
face, and up to this hour his case is an
unsolved mystery. He went somewhere,
but where? He did not go by boat or
train. He did not drive or ride on horse
back. Fifteen minutes after he left the
bank he was asked for and could not be
traced.
The first idea in Hastings’ case was
that he was involved financially. The
next was that he wanted to evade mar
riage; the third that he had been de
coyed to some place and robbed and
murdered; the fourth that he was a
victim of temporary insanity. None of
the theories would bear investigation. It
was proved that he was anxious for the
marriage to take place; that his financial
situation was Al; that there were no
particularly bad men in Jefferson just
then, and that his mind was never clear
er and stronger than on that day. "Why
did he go?” was asked by thousands, and
"Where did he go?” by other thousands,
but to this date there has been no satis
factory answer. There were those who
held that he committed suicide by jump
ing into the river. For three weeks the
stream was watched and patrolled for a
distance of 50 miles. The search cov
ered every acre of ground for miles
around.
Every highway was traveled and in
quiries were made. Thousands of circu
lars having his photograph and descrip
tion were sent out, and the reward stood
fora year at §IO,OOO. The best detectives
in the country spent weeks on the case
and could not trace him beyond the doors
of the bank. First and last over 50 men
were arrested at different points and
held for identification, but none of them
proved to be the missing man. You will
say with others that he must have gone
somewhere and that some trace ought to
have been discovered, but the fact re
mains that nothing has been learned.
My theory of the case is that he left the
bank to go aboard of a steamer on a
business errand, and that in crossing the
gangplank or moving about aboard he
fell into the river and was drowned.
That his body was not discovered only
shows that it might have caught fast on
a snag at the bottom or floated past the
watchers in the night.
TARIFF TALK-
No Financial Legislation Will be Considered
Now.
Washington, Dec. 5 —The committee
on ways and means decided this morning
to take up the tariff bill next Monday,
giving the republican members the in
tervening time to consider the new bill
and comparisons.
The meeting of the senate finance com
mittee this morning indicated that there
will probab’y be no financial legislation
at this session, at least until long after
the tariff has been disposed of.
No positive action was taken, but the
general drift of the talk of the senators
who j lined forces in securing the repeal
of the Sherman silver purchase act
showed plainly that there was to be no
resurrection of silver legislation and no
pushing of financial measures of any sort
of character.
The tariff was the principal topic of
diccussion at the meeting.
Should there be hearings on the tariff
when the bill cornea before the senate,
or should these hearings be commenced
now, were the questions propounded end
which, when the commit ee a< j urued,
h d not b ••’>! answen d.
S naror V orhees will have charge of

The 10 Per Cent Tax.
The rae>-i ii g of the bouse committee on
hanking and emrenev today was devoted
to a general dtecus-ion of the measure re
ferret to it during lhe session.
The proposition to repeal the tax of 10
per cent on the circu a ion i f state banks
was discussed and made a sp< cal ordei
for the meeting on Friday next. Membeis
express the opinion that the matter will
be theu finally tijspoa d of.
HEARD FROM HONOLULU.
Advices Receiv.il By a Kai! In r Vessel—
Au Interview Repudiated,
Port Townsend, Wash., Dec. 5. —The
barkeutine K icKiiat, Captain Cutler, ar
rived yes>erdiy from Honolulu, with ad
vices tn November 20, fourd «ys as e the
steamer Alexandria sailed for San Fiau
cisco.
In an interview published in the Ever.
iog Star, Minister Willis is repoitcd to
have said:
‘•Y >u arc authorized to state that no
change in the present situv ion will take
place for several wet Its. 1 b.oughr. with
me certain instructions from the United
States noverumeut on the Hawaiian situ
ation, but since my airival coutii gences
have aiiem, about which neither the
United States government nor m i self
were aware when I Mt Washington.
“1 have thought best to submit these
matters tv. Washington before procetdmn
further to carry out my original instruc
tions. No one need fear-trouble, end no
lawlessness will be peimited.”
Tms statement gave the amiexitionis's
much satisfaction, and the rov alists were
much displeased. Oa account of the
many rumors current of the coutemp'ated
action of the q-ieeu’s supporters, the pro
visional government.found it necessary
to keep two companies of soldiers nudtr
arms for several nighi’a after the Al;»
meda sai’u d.
Continuing, Minister w Illis said:
"TTnean thaFuht.il the time comes for
me to cirry out my intention, the peace
and good order of tais coma tmi'y will
be kept undisturbed in the talerest of
humanity, and that ar.y attempt nude
by auy person or persons tp make trouble
wi 1 be promptly checked and puuished.
You may put the matter more plainly and
that, even if the provisional government
discharged all its troops ' toßiy, n > law
lessness would be allowed for one moment
under the present situation of sff firs.
"The whole Hawaiian question is now
in abeyance, and nothing that the news
papers can say or do will alter this state
ment one ioti. I make this statement,
on my own responsibility and in the
hope that it, wi 1 allay the present excite
ment. No one need fear trouble, and no
lawlessness will be permitted.”
After this statement rumors began to
fly about that the queen’s supporters
would make a final rally in ber
behalf. The crews of the United
8 ates men-of-war Philadelphia and
Adams were held in readiness to be
landed at a moment’s notice.
The qeen’s advocates came out the
n-xt day with a denial of the Willis in
terview, saying that he was misquoted
and by inference give encouragement to
the idea that Willis bad or would receive
an imperative order to restore the queen.
The newspapers containing Mr. Bloum’s
report bad not reached the island when
the Klickitat sailed.
San Francisco, Dec. s.—The United
States revenue cutter Corwin, sailed
shortly before midnight last night. Her
destination is a secret, but it is supposed
she is going to Honolulu with instruc
tions for Willis.
It is reported that one of the sailors
on the Corwin had been bribed to take
dispatches from Minister Thurston to
President Dole.
The captain of the Corwin refused to
take letters from Consul Wilder, saying
that he did not know where he was going.
Washington, Dec. s.—The officials of
the state department have received no
advices from Hawaii by the barkentine
Klicktat, which arrived at Port Town
send, yesterday from Honolulu. They
are inclined to discredit and question the
accuracy of the purported interview with
Minister Willis in the Honolulu Evening
Star. They say that it would have been
improper for Minister Willis to have
thus expressed himself, and they do net
believe he did make the statements at
tributed to him. This is is the only ret -
shi advanced for discrediting the le
ported interview.
Tae information that the carrying out
of the president’s instruction had betn
dslayed was evidently distasteful to the
department, and unexpected by them.
THE BRIDE WAS YOUNG.
A Couple Married at Sliver Creek Bridge in
a Buggy.
Mr. L. L Wood and Miss Lula Arp
were married last Monday night by Elder
M. A. J. Wimpee.
The bride is only about 16 years of age,
while her companion ia a few years older.
They were married just after dark in a
buggy at Silver Creek. The license was
issued last Jane.
BANK BILL PASSED.
LEGISLATIVE DOINGS.
Special to theTribnne.
Atlanta, Uro. 5 —The house passeri
by a vote ot 121 to fifteen, the substitute
f>r the Calvin and V<-ach bills reported
by tiie special committee to which those
bills b> ariug on state ba ks were referred.
1 he lubs'itute practically and essentially
points to the original bill of Mr. Veach
and the fact that it Went through by a
miauimous vote is a high tribute to that
gemlemau and to Mr. Boifeullet and the
inembeis of the committee having it in
obaige.
The discussion on state banks opened
with a speech by Mr. Calvin iu favor of
Disown substitute for the committees
report. He made a strong speech iu
which he said that be believed his bill
was safer aud tetter than that of the colu
mn tee.
Mr. Branch followed him and opposed
the whole business. He said it was a
w sie of nme for the house to pass a
state bank bill as the presioeut isopposed
restate banks. He sent to the cieik’a
desk the Washing on special to the Con
stitution which stated iu t if-ct that the
president was undoubtedly opposed to
state banks and be made his Speth on
that line.
Mr. Bo feUllet made a strong argument
for the bl 1 . He was followed by Mr.
linudtr, of Meriwether, who is himself a
banker, and who was one of the most
va uable members of the committee,
i’ben Mr. Veach, the author of the bid,
made a speech iu its favor.
Mr. Gutrrard, of Chatham, was one of
the three democrats who voted against
rhe bid iu the end. He opposed it, taking
the position that there is plenty of
money and that all a man has to do is to
take bis securities to New York aud get
all the money he wants on them. He
I He said there was no strengeucy what
ever. As Mr. Guerrard is one of wealth
iest tri e Chatham it is highly probable
That he dois not feel the stringency, but
a rood many other people in Georgia do-
Ml. Thomason, of Morgan, thought
that action on the matter ought to be
postponed, as he had a substitute he
would like the Committee to consider.
Tbo debate was closed by a speech from
Mr. Mcßtide, of Haialson. The vßte,
when taken, was 121 to 15. The third
party people were solidly against the bill.
I'bey were Messrs. Askew, Branca,'"
Brown of F irsyth, Boyd, Deal, Durham,
Harrell, <Holbrook, Hogan, Morris. Mr.
Dickson aud Wilson of Camden, the negro
member, were two republicans against
the measure, and Messis. Aycock, Guer
rard and Picket were tbe three demo
crats.
Shall Not Solicit in Dry Counties.
The seuate passed the bill of Mr, Jen
kins as amended by the committee, which
provides that liquor dealers or their
ageuig shall not, under severe penalties,
solicit orders for whisky of any charac
ter in dry counties.
Tile Shad Resolution Postponed.
The resolution bo warmly championed
in the house by Smith, or Gwinnett, was
up iu tbe sena'e today, and called forth a
strong speech from Senator Robbe against
the resolution which he claimed was
aimed st tbe manufacturers of Augusta.
Senator Hatcher made a humorous
speech on the subject, but after a vole it
was indi finitely postponed.
County Boards of Educ itlon,
The senate passed the house bill cutting
down county boards of education from
five to three, and provides for $2 a day
for their compensation. The matter was
discussed some in tbe senate, but there
were but three votes against it when it
came to passage. This is a bill which
meets tbe strong approval of the county
school commissioner, and is in line with
his recommendations.
Two Important Bills Introduced.
Senator Daley introduced two impor
tant bills in tbe senate this morning.
They provide for the repeal of two acts
of tbe legislatare of 1891, one as which is
the black-list law and tbe other requires
employers to give reasons for their dis
missal of employees. It is understood
that the bills werejintroduced at tbe sug
gestions of a member of the supreme
court aud prominent lawyers, and even if
the laws are constitutional—which is
denied and wnich is now being tested by
the supreme court—the penalties are
very extreme, and the laws are question
able. *
Senate Coufirnintions,
Special to Tbe Tribune.
Atlanta, Dec 4 —The committee ap
pointed to investigate tbe depositories
and the treasury has completed the work
of counting the money in the treasury,
and finds that Uncle Bob had on hand
24 per cent more than he ought to have.
Os course, nobody bad any other idea
than that the treasury was absolutely all
right, aud a great many people think
that it was an outrage to saddle this in
vestigation on Uncle Bob Hardeman,
when it was simply a question of the de
pository system. I don’t know how Un
cle Bob himself feels about it, but I do
kn w that a great many of h s s frier ds are
indignant, aud this investigation may re
sult in some political sensations in Geor
gia in the near future.
Both tbe aenate Mid tbe house held
short sessions this morning, on account
of small attendance, (ievo ing themselves
principally to local matters.
The Seuate iu executive confirmed the
appointment of two men to the Uni
versity of Georgia, W. H. Fish to fi'l lha
place of B. P. Hollis whose term is not
yet up, aud who represented the third
congressional district, aud Howell Cobb,
of Cia'k cou ity.torep esmts Athens.
Iu the Ho.uxe there was quite a dis
cussion over the bill of Mr. Bryan to
prohibit emptying and depositing gas
tar, coal tar and other poisonous sub
stances in rivers aud running streams.
There was a good deal of opposition to
this and it was finally defeated, the
opponents taking the position that the
substances mentioned were not danger
ous.
The Senate passed the Police Com
mission for Columbus with the amend
ment c ncemk'g the tims of election pro
posed by Senator Hatcher.
Mr. Reagan’s bill providing for the
submission of tbe question of holding a
constitutional couvtutiou, was made a
special order in tbe house for Wednes
day.
Mr. Cumming’s bill, providing for the
graut of corporate powers and canal
powers, was pmsed. _
The bill of Hones, of Decatur, to pre
vent bunting on private, unenclosed
groui d, when notice had been given, was ,
defeated, after some discussion.
The rest of tbe session was devoted to
h em bills, noue of them of general in
terest.
