Tho only hope seems to bi in tho stability of Ii^o savers to throw a lino over tho llussic as tho wrecked vossol is driven closer to the shore Tho forooistlo and part ot tho forward deck bouse are all of the vessel remaining abovo water When night fall Tuoeday enshroud od tho Kussio, quito a numboi of tho orow ami passengers were scon clinging to tho fore rigging and to tho rails, I tnakiog despairing signals for suooor, whioh thoso ashore wcro powerless to afford. Tho galo inorcauod in fury all night long ami th >ugh a flickering light wai porooivod fruu time to timo, ap parontly waved by those on board to attract attention, it was foarod tho steamer would either Ircak up or disappear in tho shifting sands before morning. A thousand persons awaited along tho shore and tho fishertnon pro parod to launch a boat at the first sign of tho abatcniout of tho hurricane. When day broke it was a groat rolief for tho watohors ashore to find that tho bow and other parts of tho fnropart of tho ship worn still above water, though tho stern had completely vanished A group of men budded on tho stoatn r's bow renewing their nmto appoals for help. As tho day woro on inoro porsons ap poared on tho deok forming thrco groups, oqo at tho bow, another on tho bridge, and a third around tho funnel.

Tho Uussie lies partly on her beam onds, with her dcok facing seaward and tho soas, which havo oarriod away her hatchways, filling tho holds and cabins with water.

Tho rosult of this attempt to reach tho ondangorod orow and passengers of tho Itussio is not yot known.

'Ho wan takon in a stupefied condition to Kansas City id is now hold thcro by hia aViduotors for ransom Tho only olu? to tho perpetrators of tho orimo is found in a lettor mailed from Momphis and addressed o tho fathorof tho boy, Captain N H.

An cxplioablo rnotivo for tho crimo sootns ontiroly laoking. (Captain N. II. Frator, fathor of tho kidnappod youth, is a comparatively poor man. Until six years ago ho had considerable wealth, but buinoss rovorso at that time swept his fortuno almost ontiroly away. All tho circumstances surrounding tho orimo aro oloakod in doep and seemingly unfathomablo mystery. Tho first intimation rcooivod by tho parents of young Frazor of bis disappearance in Atlanta eatno in tho shape of a tologram from Miss (Jallio Williams of 405 Spring street, with whom Hiss Frazor boarded in this oity. The young man was last seen at his boarding house at 1.45 o'olock Saturday aftorcoon He did not roturn to supper, but this faot did not oause his room mates any unoasincsss. It was taken for granted that ho was taking toa with Home oollogo friend. When howovor, young Frazer failed to show up at his room Saturday night, Miss Williams gavo expression to some uncasinoss. Tho fear that somo misfortuno had happonod to tho young man took firm hold of hor mind when tho room matos of tho young man notified her Sunday morning that thoy wore untircly ignorant of tho oause of his absonoo. Half of tho opinion that Haas Krazor had gono to his homo at Union Springs, and hoping that such would provo tho oaso, Miss Callio Williams addrosfiod the following telegram to tho father of tho missing boy on Sanday: "Hans loft Saturday at noon. Is he at homo?" This oamo to tho parents of Haas Frazor as a first intimation of his disappcaranoo from Atlanta, for tho reply from Captain Frazor, reooivod lator stated that Hasn was not at home and iodicatod tho greatest surpriso that he was not at his boarding house in Atlanta. Miss Williams was at a loss to nodoratand tho situation, us sho felt a responsibility attaching to hor in tho matter of tho young man's safety. Monday afternoon Captain h'rtror, at his homo at Uoion Springs received tho lottor which explained his son's unusual absonoo from Atlanta. This letter, whioh tells the tale of tho kidnapping, was not datod by its author, but tho envelope, whioh bore a special dolivcry stamp, alao boro the postmark, "Momphis." Tho words of tho lottor had boon carefully printed out and tho wording indioatos that the writer is a man of meager eduoatiou. The letter is as follows: 4lI)oar Sir?As kidnapping is all the rago nowadays, wo have stolon your son. We intended to Btoal him before Christmas, but oould novor get a ohanoc.
