SEQUEL A SOCIAL SENSATION,
One OF the Dark city Secrets which
the Hotel Ruins Give Up.
From the st. Louis Globe.Dem 0crat.

From the st. Louis Globe.Democrat.
Months ago Western society rang with
the accounts of a grand wedding. A
tair daughter of one OF the oldest and
wealthlest families in the Mississippi
Valley had been united to foreign
nobleman. The arts of Worth were ex-
hausted in the preparation OF the trous-
seau. Members of the aristocracy from
all sections OF the country were present,
and never Was there more brilliant
social event IN the history OF any
one present. The dark.whiskered noble.
man was reported to be enormously
wealthy. In his own country he lorded
over vast domains and babe his bonds
men tramble. His exits and entrances
were attended with n flourish OF trum-
pets. When he W ilked he was attended
bv vassals and armed to the teeth. lie
was supposed to own vast castles, the
most impregnsblc OF which he inhaoited,
and spent the season in making herce
forays upon the bear that abounded IN
the businesses of his native forests. The
wedding was succeeded by dizzy round
of festivities, and society was ablaze.
The impressive foreigner finally de-
parted with his beautiful American
bride, and it was said that they
would proceed forthwith to the native
land of the nobIeman, and proceed
Immediately to iHnahit one OF his
paIatiai castles. A stout Hlberrlan at
work yesterday among the hotel runs
turned over some rubbish and found a
scattered pack OF letters. Some OF the
people in the Enclosure began curlously
to examine the documents. One of them
WAS from the Russian capital. The date
WAS several months back. 1t was from
the bride of the noblemsn, and represent
ed that his precautions of great wealth
we're false. 1t was even doubted whether
he WAS nobly connected. 1t was feared
that he was an arrant impostor. The
writer represented herself as being IN ao-
solu,e need of money for want OF neces-
ssries. The letter was addressed to
very near relative. This is one OF the
secrets that the runs gave up.
