MIRECOURT, Sept. 90. — Enormous crowds witnessed the review today of the French army, which has been ma’neuyer: ing during the‘ week in #9 department of the Vosges. The Russian General Drago- mi'rofi has been with the troops through- out the maneuvers. Today Prince Lo- banofl, the Russian minister of foreign aflairs, and‘ciose in the confidence of the czar, joined General Dragomirofi. The presence of the two with the French army is regarded as of exceptional significance and as evidence of the czar’s desire to em‘ . asize the existence of an alliance be- tween Russia and France on military grounds, At a banquet General Drago- mirofi gave the following toast: “To fra- ternity on the field of battle, to union in combat and to the little French troops who sometimes move me to tears. ” LONDON, Sept. 19.-—The Times’ corre— spondent at Mirccourt, in a long dispatch today, points out the significance of the presence of Prince Lobanofl, the Russian minister for foreign afiairs, and General Dragomirofl at the French array maneu- vers.

The foreign officers arrived on horseback, whenthe spectators broke on; into enthu- siastic shouts of ‘Vive in Russia!’ Soon afterWard M. Hanotaux, the French min- ister of foreign affairs, and Prince Loban— og armed in a landau, foilowpd by Gen- eral , 'gcmiroff with General Boisset on be ”back.

The Original Countess and Pedro Had Loved‘Not “Wisely, So Divorces Were Obtained, and the “'ronged \Vlf'e and Husband ‘Vere Married. FARGO, N. D., Sept. 20.—Divorces wen granted last month by Judge McConnell to two wealthy and titled Cubans—Fran cisco Perrara Montalvo Conde Glbacos and Senor Rosa Verona Pedro. They a1. leged in their complaints that the wife 0! one and the husband of the other had sloped while the four were making a tour of the continent, Switzerland being named as the country in which the two pairs were so rudely separated. Immediately after securing the decree; both went to New York, where it was said they were to be married. But last week Count Gibacoa returned here and an nounced the event had not yet occurred. The senora arrived yesterday, and this afternoon they ware married by the judge of the probate court, no dispensation be- ing secured fer a. church wedding. They leave at once for Cuba and a con: tinental trip. The former husband and wife of each are reported married and now in Paris. During his residence here the count was accompanied by a prlyate fenc- ing master, and it is said there will be a duel when he and the senor meet. Two Duels Fought Already. NEW YORK, Sept. 20.—-This ends anoth- er chapter in the career of Count do Giba- con, 8 career as romantic as that of may: of the heroes of fiction, and to the truth of which be certified in October last when, after his two duels with Juan Pe dro, he came to this city and was a guest at the Hotel Gerlach, in West Twenty-sev- enth street. Even then he was accomz panied by the woman who is now his wife, but she did not stop at the hotel, for there the count, his thirst for revenge unsatis- fied, although he had twice faced his for: on the field, was perfecting himself in the use of the rapier. Professor Vauthier, a well known swordsman, was his tutor, and it is probable he is the man referred to in the above dispatch. The four principals were friends from childhood. Juan Pedro is, very wea by, and his family is one of the most aristo- cratic in Cuba. His father, who owned several large sugar plantations, was a‘ member of the firm of J. M. Ceballos & Co., sugar importers and proprietors of the Campania Trasatlantica Steam%bip line, with offices at 80 Wall street, his city. When the elder Pedro was drowned. at the time the steamer Viscaya ran down the collier Cornelius Hargrave, off he get, N. J., in September, 1890, Juan, ' ho was then 27 years old, assumed char 9 cl his mother’s interests in Ceballos 8.: o. ’s affairs. He had married, before he was 21 years old, Rosa Verona. one of the most beautiful girls in Cuba, who was one year his junior. They had two chil‘dr'en, a boy and a girl. An Unfortunate Trip. Count do Gibacoa. is also wealthy, and after he had made Senorita A’ranga his wife. ten years ago, he and his bride and Pedro and his wife decided to do some “globe trotting” in, dompany. They passed some years in this manfier. When they returned to Cuba, it was noticed by their friends that Pedro’s attentions to the beautiful countess smacked of a warmer sentiment than friendship, and at the same time the ccunt’s marked partiality for Mrs. Pedro’s society excited comment. The countess became a mother ln‘thc early part of 1,893, and when she was well enough to travel the two families came to this city and in June‘ sailed for Europe. A chance remank made by Pedrb about the countess’ baby boy Opened the count’s eyes and brought him to his feet flushed with anger. Leaning toward Pedro, hc hissed out a refutation of the intimation that the countess was unfaithful, adding that had she been she was no worse than Mrs. Pedro, and as aproof of his assertion he angrily asSeI-ted that she had been showering her affections on him. Pistols in hand, the count and Pedro faced each other the next morning, but although they exchanged several shots, neither was injured. Leaving the field, the count did not return to his wife. In- stead he sought Mrs. Pedro, and. a few hours later he was on his way to London, accompanied by the wife of his late op- ponent and her 9-year-old daughter. Pedro found consolation in the countess’ smiles, but when a month or two later he decided to pursue his wife the countess forced him to let her accompany him. In London Pedro became very ill, the'result, the doc tors said. of poisoning. During that period he and the countess quarreled, and when he recovered he sent her and her child way, and it is said the woman is new ding.her shame from the world in a quiet refuge near Paris, where no one knows her history. A Second Harmless Duel. With Mrs. Pedro and her daughter the count reached this city early in Septembei of last year. Pedro, who had allowed'hl: mother to take his little son to Cuba, war not much behind t Determined thal he must recover h s daughger before hi challenged the count, Pedm consulted Coudert Bros, and habeas corpus proceed ings were instituted. Mrs. Pedro, whc wanted to keep the girl, also engaged counsel, but on other advice she surrenc dared her daughter to the care of Mrs Ceballos. Negotiations looking towart another duel were then opened. Pedro with his little girl, left this city for Ha vana about the middle of September, and a few days afterward Count dc Gibaco: followed him. Mrs. Pedro knew the day set for the duel, and that afternoon sh! passed in the ofiices of her lawyer. Beforl she left she learned the result of the duel Both men had been wounded, Pedro ii his breast, the count in the right side, bu‘ neither was seriously hurt. It was a fev ' weeks afterward that the count rejoins! Mrs. Pedro here. Von Bokkelen Misaing; Also 350,000. CHICAGO, Sept. 20.—Ross C.

Highest of all in Leavening Pcwer.-— Latest U. S. Gov’t Report 0 al ' W Bald n'g ~ Powder ”suture“, was lMortgazee’s Statute. An important act by the last General Assembly reads thus: .“Whenever any real estate, or any interest in real estate is taken by right of eminent domain under any statute of this state, notice shall be'given to all persons appearing by record to hold any mortgage. lien or other incumbrance on the property to be taken, and the amount due to such mortgagee. lienee or other incum- brancer, not exceeding the amount to be paid for the property taken, shall be paid to them in the order of their respective rights before any sum is paid to the owners of the property. . In case of dispute as to the amount due F any such mortgagee, lienee or other in- cumbrancer, the money may be de- posited as provided by the statutes under which such proceedings are bad, and any one claiming any interest in the same may bring suit therefor, making all others claiming any inter- est in the fund, parties defendant and the court may determine the rights in the fund of all parties to such suit, and many tax costs according to the ordi- nary rules in such cases. The foregoing provisions it is thought, will meet with the approval of all those who have their money invested in land mortgages, when they have carefully studied their merits ; as, for instance, “A" holds a mortgage on attact of land owned by “B,”over which the City or- ders a highway laid out ; the same be- ing done and upon the appraisal of ben- efits and damages having been deter— minec‘, it is found that “B’s” land has sustained serious damage, by reason of the establishment of such highway, and therefore “B” is awarded an equitable sum as recompense for the damage thus done, and in 60 days thereafter from the acceptance of the report of the Board of Appraisal by the Common Council he receives from the City a check for the sum of said award ; while mortgagee “A” hasno claim Whatever on the award just made, and cannot gain possession of any part thereof in any other way than by recourse to the Court of Equity, meanwhile the opera- tions of said highway the equity in the land upon which Said mortgage is pre- dicted, has been reduced to a minimum, or totally extinguished. Thus “B” has realized his equity in the property, while “A” in the event of “B’s” cupidty or dishonesty, must obivonsly suffer loss unless, however, he is on the alert and enjoins the pay- ment of the award, pending an appeal to the Court of Equity. -._____. _ License, or No License? Says a Westport correspondent: “Friends and advocates of “no license” for Westport this fall, are, by their at- guments and movements, worrying the other fellows who seek to have present conditions continued. The latter say in effect, “What, shut up saloons and make us go to Bridgeport or Nor-walk when wewant a drink of whiskey?” and they get for a reply, “Yes, Bridge- port, and even Kamtschatka—anywhere however distant, if we can have our way." And there is fear and trembling as to what Ithe outcome of the move- ment against it may be among the friends of the eight drinking places which Westport supports. One voter is going to plead and vote for license on the ground that it is very necessary, and sometimes convenient in case of sulflen sickness to have a vial of spirits at hand or in the house, as it might save or prolong life.
