THE ASTOR-\VILLING WEDDING.
It Will Take Place on Feb. 17 in Phila-
delphia.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb.l.10 — Preparations
for the Astor—\Villing wedding are rapidly
progressing. It is now definitely known
that the nuptials will be solemnized on
Feb. 17, at noon, at the residence of the
bride‘s parents, NO. 511 South Bitiad Street.
The Rev. Dr. \V. Neilson McVickar will be
the officiating clergyman. The nearest
relatives on both sides will attend the
bride and compose the bridal party. The
family are very much averse to any further

publicity being given to the affair.

“Much has been written about the wed-
ding which is wholly untrue and unauthor-
ized." says Mr. ‘x'v'illing. "The families on
both sides and the invited guests are fully
informed as to the progress of the neces-
sary preparation. and they are really the
only interested parties. As for myself,”
he added. with much emphasis. “I wish
been arranged to
take place here. but that we had gone oil?
to some secluded couni r]: place, where. the
ceremony could be performed quietly and
without incurring the notoriety which has
seemed unavoidable."

Miss Ava \Villing. the l-‘hilzulclphia belle,

who is to marry young John Jacob Astor,
has spent most of her life abroad. Her
family has been lirmiiiiu-nt in Philadelphia

society for several generations and is quite
wealthy. This manning!) will make the
third which the Astors have contracted
witn Philadelphia families. \Villlani \Val-
dorf Astor married Miss .‘dary Paul. and
Miss Carrie Astor became the wife of \V.
C. Drayton.

THIS GUN DIAS: PROVE A TERROR.

11' Successful It ‘J'ill Revolutionize 0111‘
Coast Defense System.

CHICAGO, Feb. 10.——l.0uis Gathmann, a
maker of mill machinery, exhibited Mon-
day a cannon of his invention, which he
says is to be tested in the presence of
United States army Officers at Fort Sheri-
dan within a fortnight under instructions
from war department- ofiicials at “lashing—
ton.

The weapon is nine and a half feet long,
andis designed to be discharged in rapid
succession thousands of times without be-
coming overheated, throwing shells three
feet long, filled with dynamite, nitro-gly-
cerine or any other high explosive, adis—
tance of five miles, the projectile exploding
by the concussion when it strikes the ob-
ject. The chief novel feature is the use of
liquefied carbonic acid gas, delivered auto—
matically along the entire length of the
bore at the instant- of discharge, not only
as an absorbent of the heat generated, but
as a “cooler" after the charge has left the
gun.

By another new device pneumatic press-
ure is produced with ‘the use of powder.
Mr. (Sat-lunanu claims to have already
made satisfactory tests with a small model.
Should the invention prove a success he
expects that the existing systems of coast

defense particularly would be revolution- '

ized.
Chinese Sued for Libel.

SAN mecrsco, Feb. 10.—The first suit
for libel brought against Chinese in this
country has been filed by George W. Hume
& Co, commission merchants, who sue
“'0 l-ling Geong and two others for $30,000

clcin The Oriental, a Chinese newspaper
published here. The article warned all
Chinese to work against Hume & Co. be-
causethey had defrauded the defendants
out of $3.000 by failure to keep a contract
about salmon packers in Alaska. Hume
& CO. claim that the Chinese defaulted on
the agreement, and that they have been,
damaged by this libel.

barber, employed by Ed Carrier at 11%
Blue Island avenue, shot and fatally
wounded Blanche Clement at the door of
her home. then fired a. bullet into his left

afterward walked down the street to the
barber shop where he is employed. Officers
entered and arrested him while he was
shaking dice. Osborne will recover, and
two ollicers remain near his cot in the
hospital ward as guards. Jealousy was
the cause of his act. Osborne lives in De-
troit and is 30 years of age.

An Assassination Conspiracy.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. 31., Feb. 10. The at-
tempted assassination of Senator Anchita
at Santa Fe, it is thought, was only the
first step in a conspiracy to murder Sen-
ators Stover, Of this city; Mills, of Las
Vegas, and Anchita, of Silver City. The
school law just passed by the territorial
legislature has been bitterly opposed by a
large class of the native citizens. The Op—
position has been strong against Messrs.
Stover. Mills and Anchita on account of
their brilliant and persistent advocacy of
the measure.

advocate unrestricted reciprocity with the
United States he would feel called upon to
command his people to vote against such
candidates.

A Big Scandal Brewing in the High-
est English Circles.

RUSSIA’S JEWISH EXODUS.

The Czar Orders That All the Hebrews.

Selfishly Elated

Hirsch’s American Gift.

Over Baron

LONDON, Feb. 10.——A scandal is brewing
in the highest English circles, the most
serious since the Mordaunt divorce casein
1875, and not dissimilar from it in charac-
ter. This scandal, if it should come to
boiling over, which is possible, will be of
the greatest interest in the United States.
A chief party to it is a lady well known in
that country.

The Prince of Wales is already looking
gloomy about something as, in the natural
course of events, he is getting too near the
throne to feel certaiumatters as lightly as
.he did years ago, and the presence in court
of the future emperor and king, for the
purpose of saving a lady’s reputation,
would not b3 endured with the same calm
dignity as in the Mordaunt case. The hus-
band in the present affair is evidently fretr
ting a good deal, but uncertain, as to his
course.

The Outcast Russian Jews.

The news of Baron Hirsch’s immense
gift for the benefit of Russian and Polish
Jews emigrating to the United States has
been received with considerable satisfac-
tion in London, as there is strong opposi-
tion both among the working cla$es and
business men to any more immigration of
Russian Jews to England, and Lord Salis-
bury’s government has been asked to inter-
fere to prevent it. The latest arrivals from
Russia, on their way to America, are of the
most squalid description, and it is proba-
ble that local authority would have inter-
fered to prevent their remaining here, even
if the imperial government had not acted.

It is hoped that Baron Hirsch’s donation
will induce the United States not to send
back to Europe the many thousands of
Russian Jews who are preparing to swarm
across the Atlantic and settle in New York
and other American cities, and most of
whom are destitute.

An Odessa dispatch says that instruc-
tions have been received from St. Peters-
burg to facilitate the emigration and get
rid of all the Jews possible. .

Germany, Catholicism and Socialism.

The kaiser’s concessions to the Roman
Catholic party, whose me mbers in the
reichstag are strongly supporting the gov-
ernment, are arousing suspicion and 1111-
easiness among the Protestants of north
Germany, and the protests of the Free Ma-
sons against any yielding to the Jesuits
have been followed by similar protests
from churches and religious bodies. The
concord between the kaiser and - the Vati-
can, however, continues. It is said that
the kaiser was much impressed when he
visited Home by his interview with Leo
XIII, and has ever since treated the pontiff
with the respect due to his personality.

t is known that the Vatican and Ger-
many have had frequent and very im-
portant communications with each other,
and that especially as regards the question,
of socialism there has been established a
well defined concordant action. The pon-
tifl’. it is said, recognizes in the German
empire a conservative power capable of
enterin g on and conducting Victoriously a
struggle against socialism, and instruc-

tions have been sent by the holy see to the ,

German bishops to co-operate with the im-
perial government in its efforts to prevent
the spread of socialistic ideas.

It is reported, on good Catholic author
ity. t instructions to make war on
seen; i is. and socialistic theories have been
sent. not to the prelates in Germany alone,
but to bishops throughout the world
where such ideas are supposed to have any
popular hold-

Broke His Prmnise and Took Poison.

PUEBLO, 0010., Feb. 10.——Charles L. An—
drews, advance agent of Frederick Warde,
who attempted suicide in this city by tak—
mn a dose of chloroform, died at the Sis-

HE FOUND A SMALL FORTUNE.

A Car Inspector Picks Up $10,000 in a .

_ qullman Sleeper.

CHICAGO, Feb. 10.——Ten thousand dol—
lars, half of which was in bills and
half in government bonds, was found by
Henry Prentice, an employe of the Pull-

man Car company. The money was con— ,

cealed beneath the cushions of a seat in
the sleeping car Atlanta. The car had
been hauled in the shops at Pullman for
repairs, and Prentice was inspecting the
coach to see what was needed. He began
by turning ‘up the cushions in the seats.
When he reached the center of the car he
pulled out a cushion that appeared to be
badly worn. '

As he did so two packages fell from the
seat to the floor of the car. Prentice
picked them up, and on opening the first
one was startled to see that it contained a
large number of brand new national bank
notes. A count showed that they amount-
ed to $5,000. An inspection of the other
package brought to light a. like sum in
government bonds.

Prentice took the money and bonds to
General Manager Sessions, in who'se‘jios
session they new are. No report of the
loss has been made to the company,'and
the officials have notified the police depart-
ment of the find. It is thought that the
funds have been placed in concealment by
some one who came into possession of the
money in a criminal manner, and by some
means was prevented from removing the
packages owing to fear of discovery.

Fitz Says Hall Is a Dufi‘er. ’

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 10.—Bob Fitzsim-
mons was shown a. dispatch saying Hall
was ready to fight him. He said: “Jim
Hall is a duffer, and I don’t propose to
fight him or any other man who has been
beaten by a man of Owen Sullivan’s cali—
ber.’ Hall doesn’t want to fight me, and
could not be made to do it. All he wants
is to get good advertising at my expense.
I’ve made Jim Hall quit in five rounds
twice, once in public and once in private.
The only time he ever made me quit was

by agreement at a fake exhibition. I’ll
pay no attention to the challenge. My

next fight will be with Ted Pritchard, the
English champion.”

Miss Lamb’s Feelings” Soothed.

COLUMBUS, 0., Feb. 10.——The suit for $20,-
000 damages for breach of promise brought
against Simon Obermeier, of Cincinnati,
by Minnie Lamb, of this city, has been set-
tled and the case dismissed. Obermeier is
the wealthy Cincinnati merchant whose
marriage to an ex-nun of Chicago a few

ately after the marriage. The terms of
agreement are not made public, but it is
understood that Miss Lamb received a con-
siderable sum.

The Comrades and Deliverers of the Bes- i

DIadmen—A Scene to Melt 1

Men’s Hearts.

NANTICOKE, Pa, Feb. lO.—One of the
most dramatic events that have occurred
in the coal mining region about here in
many years was the release Monday morn—
ing of the three men,'J0hn River, William
Cragle and Michael Shellouk, from the
flooded mine in which they had been im~
prisoned since Wednesday last. The acci—
dent itself, by which the men were caught
in what at the time was believed to be a
death trap, was a strange one even here,
where strange mining disasters are of fre—
quent occurrence.

On \Vednesday of last week five men,
the three above named and two others,
Thomas Lewis and Daniel Davis, were at
work in No. 3 mine of the Susquehanna
Coal company. They were engaged in rob-
bing pillars in an abandoned portion of
the mine.

In one chamber Lewis and Davis were at
work, and to loosen the coal resorted to a.
blast. The explosion rent asunder a wall
separating the chamber in which they
were engaged from an old abandoned
working which was used for storing sur-
plus mine water. The imprisoned water
burst through the great hole made by the
blast in a furious torrent, which nothing
could resist.

A Ghost of a Chalice.

Lewis and Davis were jerked off their
feet and tossed about like corks. Even
heavy coal cars were litter.“ and whirled be-
fore the flood as though they had been
corks. Lewis and Davis fortunately were
swept to the gangway. Here they got a
footing. \Vith the flood tearing after
them they fled for their lives. At one time
the flood overwhelmed them up to their
necks, but they made a final despairing
effort and got beyond its clutches.

Davis and Lewis were saved, but their
three companions were left behind. There
was hardly a ray of hope that they could
be alive. There was just- a chance that
they might have got on some elevated foot—
hold beyond the reach of the water. Those
who first suggested it were thought to be
half mad, but still it was a ghost of a
chance, and rescuers set to work with all
that fury of energy with which miners go
to the relief of their comrades, not know-
ing how soon their own time may come to
need a like effort on their behalf.

Despair Turned to “’ild Joy.

Night and day the work has gone on.
Even if the men escaped drowning there
was small chance of their escaping suffoca-
tion from the foul air. Day after day
passed, and though the energy of the res—
cuers never flagged their hope was well
nigh dead.

At an early hour Monday morning, how-
ever, their growing despair was turned to
wild joy. From far back in the mine there
came a. faint cry. For a moment the men
ceased their work. They could hardly be—
lieve their own ears. Then again, as they
stood breathless, the weak, faint voice was
heard. The answer was a Wild cheer, and
with a sort of blind fury the men fell at
their work again. At 3 o’clock in the
morning the voice could be distinctly
heard: a little later words could be made
out. The three men were all alive and

 

they were unhurt, “but for God’s sake
hurry. ”

No urging was needed. In a few mo—
ments the rescuers were almost within
touch of them. A raft was made, and on
it a party of men groped their way in the
darkness to the little cramped up space in
which the three poor fellows had spent ,
their five horrible days. In a little hole in |
the top of the cross leading they were i
found. The water was almost up to their
very feet. "

As the Dead Come to Life. ‘

in a, jiffy they were pulled down and i
went on to the raft, and a few moments
later they were out in the sunlight with
their comrades hugging them and kissing.
them like madmen, and welcoming them I
as the dead come to life again. There have i
been many touching scenes around the
black mouths of the mines hereabouts, but
seldonnone that moved men’s hearts more
than did the wild demonstrations over
these poor rescued miners. They are the
heroes of the day, and fora long time to
come, until some. other great disaster has
overshadowed their adventure, they will
have to tell over and over again the story
of those five awful days of darkness and
despair. '

Curiously enough, they (lid not suffer
greatly from hunger. Their greatest mis-
ery, after their mental agony, was from
thirst and the cramped position in which
they were forced to sit. Milk was given
them to drink, and they quickly recovered
their strength. It was after? o’clock in
the morning, however, before they were
thought to be sufficiently strong to be car-
ried to their homes.

In the United states Senate.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.———Iu the senate
Monday the credentials of D'. "W. Voor-
hees as a senator from Indiana, and of H.
C. Ilasbrouck as a senator from North
Dakota for the term beginning March 1
next. were presented and filed. The sen-
ate agreed to a resolution calling on the
president for copies of correspondence in
reference to the importation of certain
products of the United States into Brazil.
By a vote of 28 to 29 the senate refused
to consider the vote of Saturday recom-
mitting the eight hour bill to the commit—
tee on education, and the bill, therefore,
stands recommitted. The senate then pro-
ceeded to the consideration of the copy-
right bill.

'IVill Duplicate the Wife.

PORTSMOUTH, N. 11., Feb. 10.—Lawyer
George L. Hodgdon, associate counsel for
Mrs. Lucy M. Reed, says that he under-
stands that both Murphy and Wood will

Reed not. only in the murder of her hus-
band in North Salem, Jan. 22, but in hav-
ing a previous knowledge of the crime.
Mrs. Reed is now held as accessory after
the fact.
