Col. Price's Marriage "A NIilit0sl-

Col. Price's Marriage-A NIiliton-
aire who Changed his Wives TO
Sult his Convenience.
JuLtice Pratt, in Brooklyn, yesterday.
refused the application of the third
wife of the late millionaire brewer Col.
W. w. Price, for the cuntody of her
eldest child.
The history of the Colonel's mar
riages is perhaps the most peculiar in
the records of New York litigati on.
He abandoned wife in England, and
came to New York poor. Here he
married, and after having had two
children by the second wife he pro.
cured decree declaring the marriage
null and void, on the gronnd that his
first wife, whom he bellved to be dead,
was alive.
soon afterward Col. Price was again
Conveniently assured that his first
aSfe was really dead and he married q
third time. There were two children
by this marriage. both girls, and both
deaf mutes. When he grew tired of
the last arrangement he again discov-
cred that he had been misinformed as
to the demise of his original wife,
ard procured another decree declaring
his third marriage voidable and null
and void thereafter, the children's
legitimacy being thus secured. .....s
The third wife took the youngest
girl, and consented that the father
should keep the elder. In June last,
Mr.. Price died, having appointed
guardians testamentary for the elder
child, to whom he left $50, 900. ....,.
The third wife brought the child
into court on writ of habeas corpus,
and asked for its custody. . It was
alleged among other things, that two
of Ler guardians were the children by
the second marriage. to whom her
$4,000 would go in case of her death
before reaching full age, and that it
was not safe to leave the child in such
guardianship. 10. .sss .5, ...,.....4 ...- 49,.

struck the steamer a short distance
below Annapolis. James Gary, aged
twenty years, one Of the deck hands,
was blown, overheard. The unfortu-
nate man was not missed until some
time after he was lost Search was made
for him. and it soon became evident
that Carey had been blown overheard.
1t is supposed that he was standing on
the upper deck near the rail when the
squall struck, and before be could re,
cover himself he was blown over the
rail and into tie water, where his cries
for help were drowned in the raging
storm. The sad occurrence cast a
gloom over the entire party. The
excursionists were very much charmed
during the storm. and several of the
ladies were taken ill from fright. The
steamer was not injured, except a por-
tion of the wheelhouse being blown
away. and the excursionists reached
the wharf in safety at u late hour last
night. -.....

stories that had appeared in print that
he had come to America for the pur-
pose of establishing a throne in Mexi-
co or in Cuba, Don Carlos said, with
some Indignation, mingled with amuse.
ment, that this was great betise,
(foolishness@ that he only came to this
country for instruction and pleasure,
and that such a thought never entered
his mind. The imputation of disloyal-
ty to Spain seemed to wound him. and
he declared no true Spaniard would
desire for moment that Cuba should
be torn from Spain or that the Span
ish empire should be thus dismeml
bered. ''The present condition of
Spain, he said, lis very unsettled, but
this much seems to be clear, that
Alfonso cannot maintain himself long
on the Spanish throne. Spain seems
to drift toward a republic Just now.
The Herald'ss correspondent gives
the following description of Don Car
los personal appearances:
"While standing he presented the
appearanceof tall somewhat slim, bnt
yet heavily made man, of about thirty
yearsior less, with good, strong chest,

long, oval face, whose sallow complex
ion betrayed at once lis southern Ha-
tionality. His hair is of the blackest,
but his eyes are reddish brown, large,
and with prepossessing expression, Of
openness. The features are decidedly
large, the nose straight, long. full, tue
mouth sensuous and the chin peaked
and eloquent of determination. :
There Is nothing intellectual or com
manding about the face, certainly
nothing prince1y. It is the counte-
nance of a rather good natured man of
moderate intelligence. but eopsidera-
BILE backbone and strength of charac
ter. The best features of the face are
the eyes. Don Carlos smiles very
frequently while he speaks. He was
dressed in simple cheap suit of
Scotch gray, such as many q clerk of
A. T. Stewards would despise, but
sported a rather gorgeous blue neck
tie. He wore two simple rings and
silver coins as cuff studs. .- .st..- g.,

that the agents exaggerated the number OF the Sioux
and referred to the horrible now being perpe
trated and said ought not TO feed them unless they
would keep the peace. Prof seeye cited tho reports OF
Indian agents to the effect that these outbreaks were
caused by the unwarranted military invasion OF tho
