MRS. LANGTRY’S WEDDING.
The Event ls Announced to Occur In Cai-
ifornin In November.
San Francisco, Sept. 25. —-The an-
nouncement that Mrs. Lily Langtry
will marry Prince Esterhazy is con-
firmed. Attorney Henry C. McPike of
this city is authority for the announce-
ment, which is to be taken in connec-
tion with the statements persistently
and repeatedly published since she se-
cured her divorce- in- May last as to
Mrs. Langtry’s prospective marriage to
this head of an ancient h
"I have recently received,” said Mr.
McPike, “from my client, Mrs. Lang-
try, notice of her intention to return to
California by the end of November.
Prince Esterh’azy will accompany her,
and immediately upon their arrival here
they‘will be married in Lake county, I
presume, for her home is there. '
“Because they preferred to be mar—
ried in this state it must not be argued,
that either Mrs. Langtry or Prince Es-
terhazy regards the former’s divorce
as lacking in legality in any other ju.
risdiction. On the contrary, they are
advised by their solicitors in London
that the decree granted at Lockport has
freed her absolutely frOm Edward
Langtry, so that she may marry in any
part of the world if she chooses.”
Paul Antonio Nicolas, Prince Ester-
hazy of Galantha, Count of Edelstetten
and Farchtenstein, was born March 21,
1843. He is the son of Prince Nicholas
and Lady Sarah Villiers, of a line of the
earls of Jersey.
Prince Esterhazy is the head of an
illustrious Hungarian house. It has
been the gossip of European capitals
for months that he was a. devoted ad-
mirer and ardent wooer of the “Jersey
Lily.” But it was not expected that his
attentions would result in marriage,
because the Hungarian nobility are not
given to mesalliances.
The prince has been married twice.
Both of these former wives are. dead.
He is still a remarkably well preserved
man, and might be taken. for the
younger brother of the Emperor Francis
Joseph.
' g-Ie is dark, with bushy side whiskers
and shaven chin, and has the reputa-
tion of having “gone the pace that
kills.” __
‘ Denied by _1\Ir. Widener.‘
Philadelphia, Sept. 25.—P. A. B. Wid—
ener today denied the report from Chi~
cago that he, Mr. Elkins and their rep;-.
resentatives had failed in their negoti-
ations to effect a combination of ' the
street railways of Chicago. Mr. Widen—
er said that Anthony Brady and Thom-
as Ryan of New York, who, it is re-
ported, conducted the negotiations, went
to Chicago on matters bearing upon the
gas companies in that city and did not
discuss street railway matters.
Nobody’s Fault.
New York, Sept. 25.—A coroner’s Jury
returnedva verdict that Nicholas Neil-
son and Isaac Bachrach were killed by
a fall of a“ passenger elevator in the
American Tract society’s building on
Nassau street Sept. 10 by the release of
the safety guards of the lift after some
, one had pawledgthem. The jury also
found that no one understanding the
system in use was in charge at the time
and therefore holds .no one criminally
liable for the accident.

carats. The latter, a pear shaped stone,
is valued at $2,800. -

" THIRTY DAYS‘ ADRIFT.
Terrible Suffering of the Crew of the
Wrecked Bark Seledon.
San Francisco, Sept. 25. —The story of.
the fate of the missing Norwegian bark
Seledon was told today upon the arrival
of the steamship Moana from Sydney.
The Seledon left Newcastle, N. S. W ,
on July 13,1896, for Honolulu with a
cargo of coal. On the night of Aug. 7
at 11:30 o’clock the vessel struck Star-
buck island while running at a speed of
sex en knots, and 15 minutes later four
feet of w ater was reported in the hold.
Two boats were launched, with crews of
eight men each.
After laying by the vessel until day-
light, Captain Jager decided to make
for Maiden island, which he reckoned to
be two days' sail. Having nothing but
a chart compass, however, the boat
missed the island and attempted to
make Christmas island, but missed that
also.
They then ran before the wind for 11
days. On Aug. 18 the gig capsized and
all its occupants except Chief Officer
Keis Neilson, who was drowned, were
picked up by the other boat.
Captain Jager died of exhaustion on
Aug. 24 and was buried. On the twen-
ty- third day out, Aug. 30, the 14 men di-
vided the last piece of meat, five
pounds which lasted three days. Mean-
time they were dependent upon occa—
sional showers of rain for their water
supply.
For six more days they sailed on, too
weak to move, and when all hope had
been given up their boat ran upon the
reef of Sophia islands and cast them
ashore. . '
Fortunately they were picked up by
natives, who treated them with the ut-
most kindness, but the ship’s carpenter,
T. Olsen, died from the result of his ex-
posure a few days later.
After subsisting upon cocoanuts, tur-
tles and sea birds for ten months and
ten days, the steamer Clyde, bound for
Aucklawnd was sighted, and Captain
Callaghan took the shipwrecked men to
Fiji, where they were transferred to the
bark Elten, which conveyed them to
Sydney.
The Bubonic Plague Spreading.
Bombay, Sept. 25. -—The latest health
statistics show that the bubonic plague
is again active, having crept unob-
served from hamlet to hamlet until a
wide area is affected. The newspapers
assert that the withdrawal of the med-
ical officers for service with the troops
on the frontier will entail consequences
infinitely more disastrous than any-
thing happening on the frontier.
Failure of a Kentucky Department Store.
Lexington, Ky., Sept. 25.—The Kauff-
man—Wilson company department store
made an assignment to Albert Steint of
New York city, representing the firm’ s
largest creditors, Feischeimer, Fishel &
Co., Clothiers of that city. The firm
owes them $12,000. It owes Hackett,
Carhart & Co., Clothiers, New York,
$10,000. John B. Dunlap, New York,
batter, is another creditor.
A Fortune For a Prlsoner.
San- Francisco, Sept. 25.—W. F. Kar—
ron, now imprisoned in the county jail
)Iere charged with embezzlement, has
fallen heii to $250, 000. James Karron
the“ prisoner’s uncle, who was a promi-
nent mining operator of Montana, died
last week at Austin, 1a., leaving prop-
erty valued at $500,000 to be equally di—
vided between his two nephews. One
of these is the prisoner. -
To Torture No llIore ‘Vitches.
Wingate, N. M.,' Sept. 25.—A courier
who has arrived from Lieutenant Bell’s
camp at Zuni says that immediately
after the departure of the troops the
head men of the tribe met in council
and decided not to torture any more
witches, as they wished to avoid fur~
ther trouble and did not wish the troops
to take away any more of the tribe.
T‘IHES THAT LEAK.
The Morgan & Wright single-tube
quick-repair tire must be regarded as
a. distinct improvement in bicycle tire
construction. It has the following ad-
vantages:
While punctures in it can be re
paired with plugs, or semi-liquid in-
jections, as well as in any other
single-tube tire, it can be pennanentl}
repaired by using the quick-repaii
strip inside the tire. See out No. 1
By injecting M. & W. quick-repah
cement through the puncture, anc
then pressing down on the tire with
the thumb, as in out No. 2, the repah
No.2.
strip inside is picked up by the cement,
thus closing the puncture, as in cut
No. 3'.
The Morgan 8: Wright single-tube
quick-repair tire is guaranteed not
porous. This 13 on account of the way
in which it is made. Nearly every
rider has heard of tires that “leak
like a sieve.”
Many tires rot, because water gets
into the fabric between the two layers
of rubber. The Morgan & Wright
fabric' 111 proof against moisture. .-
Everybody knows how comfortable
Morgan & Wright tires are, and yet
how seldom they puncture. This is
due to the fabric.
Ask any bicycle dealer whether
other isires last as long as Morgan &
Wright tires. ‘ Ask, also, what the
Morgan & Wright guarantee means.
Morgan & Wright tires are repaired
free of charge, at the factory in
Chicago or at any of the Morgan &
Wright free repair shops, located in
the principal cities.
N. B. —When you have a puncture,
get right off. Riding a tire flat, when -
it has a tack or nail in it, may
amaze it considerably. ‘
