DIED AT TWENTY-FIVE.
Strange Story OF the Early Day
Recalled by q Death.


The death of Mrs. Briggs, which oc-
CURED on Wednesday at No. 1910
Eleventh street. says the Denver Tri-
bune. is not in itself a matter of much
public comment, but it brings once
more to light the story of miraculous
escape Of couple from the notorious
Brigham Young and his territory in the
days when capture meant certain death
at the hand of the ever-watchful and
much-dreaded DaniteS, who were then
in the full zenith of their power. Then
1t was that murder was no crime in the
eyes or the Jealous apostles of Mormon
dom, and 1t needed but significant nod
f1Om some chosen leader to send
soul from the narrow confines
of earth. There was no retaliatory
vengeance, and the story of the escape
of Mr.. and Mrs. Briggs becomes more
romantic when the facts in regard to
the affair become fully known. 1t was
Just tWenty-nlne years ago when the
couple made their first appearance in
Denver. They came in the usual way
in those dayS-by teamS-and their
story at first was hardly credited. Years
before. imbued with the Mormon prin-
ciple, they had gone to Utah and became
willing subjects of Brigham Young.
who was at that time in the height of
his power. Mr.. Briggs became chosen
disciple and an elder of the Mormon
| church, and bid fair to become a fixture
in the territory. But he remained true
| to his first wife, and never would con-
sent to avail himself of the Mormon
privilege by increasing the number of
| his ''better halfs.'
Where the trouble between Briggs
al &c
known, although some say that his dis
inclination to be much-married man
aroused the suspicious of his brother
elders, who seemed to think he was not
doing quite the right thing in not prac-
tlcing what he preached. Another
story has it that the amOrous Brigham
Young was slightly inclined to fall in
| love with Mrs. Briggs, and as it was a
well-knOwn fact that anything the "old
| man" wanted he was sure to have
sooner or later, Briggs concluded to
shake Utah and the MOrmons and thus
save his wife from becoming famous
and probably having her hair pulled by
the score or more of other Mrs. YOungS.
Both stories are probable. but which
is the strict truth is not known. Suffice
it that the Briggses arrived in Denver
in the fall of 1858, and Briggs was nick
named 'GOv." Briggs, after the COVER
nor of Massachusetts. 1t was not long
afterward that Gov" Briggs passed to
the home of his fathers and left the wife
he had snatched from Mormon hands
widow.
Mrs. Briggs went into mourning for
the good old man and was much be-
reaved at his demise, especially after
the troubles they had gone through in
the wild, woody West together. Five
years ago, however, she frightened I'D,
looked young again, and aStonished her
friends by marrying, at the ripe old age
of ninety years, miner by the name of
o. E. Collyer, who was considerably
younger than she was.
Her biography, if it were possible that
it could appear truthfully in print, would
probably read like novel, and go far to
prove the strange truth which exists in
some lives and is hidden, for the most
part, to the world.

The after effect is always

lessly out back of the barn and in

his pipe with Perique and plunges reck-

add spirit of adventure to the occasion
that is deeply relished by the wild and
reckless disposition of this prone man.

AT this time of the year there are but

Yes. If two trains meet both running
at high rate OF speed the forward

still the coaches of the running train only
are telescoped. This will illustrate the
comparative force and the effect of two

ANOTHER CANCER VICTIM.

New York World.

New York World.
Dennis Corbett. one of the most prom
lnent and active members of the Clan
na-Gael, died yesterday morning at his
residence, No. 439 West Forty-ninth
street. He had suffered for nearly two
months with cancer of the tongue. In
the beginning of November pimple ap-
peared upon the tongue at its root. 1t
was scarcely noticed for few days, but
it grew SO much in size and became so
painful that DrS. Kelly, of No. 16 East
Twenty-ninth street, and McGraun,
of No. 454 West Fifty-first street.
were summoned. Notwithstanding their
earnest efforts to prevent the growth of
the malady, the cancer became in a
short time as big as an egg, and Mr..
COrbett was unable to take solid food of
any kind. The swelling increased daily
until the left side of the neck resembled
a bladder.
Milk was the only food of any kind
that the patient could assimilate, and
finally he was unable to take scarcely a
tubeful of that at one time. Mr.. Corbett,
during his terrible ordeal, was fire.

due to the clOgging up of the throat by
the big lump at its entrance. His power
full frame was reduced to comparative
skeleton, and early yesterday morning
he died, suffering the most intense
agony. His inability to receive nour-
IShment is thought to have precipitated
his end.

Lies nestled in a valley fair 20 see
There ocean trees of dazzling brilliancy
In pearly earth and coral rocks are grown;
Unpaved the streets save by deep shadows

From buildings tall, whose crumbling mai

Vies with the beauty of the scenery
Translucent through the watars amber

All silence there No sound of busy tread,
No storms come nigh this city of the dead
Above the ships sail on, sometimes SO near
Their shadows glide down through the

How silently long lost Atlantis sleeps.

Downing Her Clothes in Public.


San Francisco Alta.
A remarkably strange scene was en-
acted at the depot opposite the broad
gauge ticket window yesterday. A
party of Italians, consisting of four
women, one of whom was a pretty
young lady of twenty years, had come
off the boat. It was wedding party,
or rather the damSel had come from the
country to meet her love and be mar
ried. Dusty and traveled-stained as
she was. she could not possibly meet her
intended husband. Accordingly the
party slipped out of the stream pouring
from the ferry, aud gathering against
the bulkhead the. young lady COM
menced to divest herself of her cloth
ing. Regardless of the crowd, which
soon collected, she proceeded to strip
herself until she was standing in
state of Eve-like simplicity. Then she
commenced to don her wedding tros-
seau. This was soon accomplished, and
when the young lady found herself
completely arrayed for her nuptials she
walked off with her party through the
laughing crowd, unmindful both of the
laughter she excited or that she had
done anything immodest OF indecent.
She was, indeed. an exemplification of
the saying, "Where ignorance is bliss
tits folly to be wise"

HI Questionable airs, that raise

Resolving to drive around that way on
his route to WaySide and leave his Offer
ing in person, Howard placed it in his
pocket and flung himself into a great
chair by the CRATE.
Dreamily he saw, not Goals of fire, but
a fair, fresh young face, daintily
chiSeled in saucy mold. A sweet girl
face, vaguely sad in repose, with ten
der, witching, riante mouth and great
innocent, dark eyes, dangerous with a
childish, wondering coquetIy.
AS if to shake his mental vision, How
ard took up book; but ere long its
pages became but senseless hieroglyph-
les. His brain refused to leave it's groove.
He rose and left the room. He got
halfway up the staircase, then paused,
hand on the baluSter.
All at once vision had risen before
him-befOre him stood a dainty girl who
looked with smiling eyes into his own.
He even heard her soft sweet voice, and
heard small, laughing child clinging
to her skirts, call him ''papa."
AS it had suddenly come so the vision
died. The wild strange thrill in How
ards heart gave place to the old, unde-
fined bitterness.
He stood alone, alone as he must al
ways stand now. Outside the winds
Sobbed, the trees moaned; inside pre-
vailed the silence of--death. Then
slowly Howard proceeded to his room.
