upon which the statue OF Lincoln bent
his gaze, and Senator Cullom introduced
Richard ]. Oglesby, who

TIE LOVERS QUARREL
Why Miss Caldwelps Engagement to oPrinee
9Iurat was Broken on sh6 Wanted to
Manage Her own Fortune.

Why Miss Caldwell's Engagement to Prince
Diurnt was Broken on Sh6 Wanted to
Manage Her Own Fortune.
PARIS, Oct Sl.-The complete story OF
tie lovers quarrel, which resulted in
the abandonment OF the Murat. Caldwell
wedding, leaked out to-day.
The storm which had been brewing
for several weeks between Prince Murat
and Miss Caldwell finally burst on Fri.
day last, when, at the meeting held ut
Miss Caldwell's hotel for the contract"
or final signature OF the marriage settle.
ment, the notary announced that the
bride only allowed her husband an In.
come Of $4,000 year, with reversion
after her death to her sister.
Miss Caldwell declares she had warned
the Prince all along that she intended TO
make this arrangement. He had, how.
ever, always treated her reference TO the
matter as a joke, refusing to believe that
she would venture to treat him in such q
niggardly fashion. When, however, the
Prince heard the notary read aloud't the
clause of tho contract dealing with this
matter, he arose from his chair, walked
to Miss Caldwell and exclaimed: "Sure.
ly, this Is joke. You cannot wish to
treat your husband with such public
display Of suspiCion?"
Miss Caldwell laughed and replied:
.! have managed my fortune all along
withsucCess, aud want to continue doing
so."
The Prince still refusing TO believe
that she was serious, Miss Caldwell re-.
marked: "You have shown that you do
not know how to manage money! The
Prince thereupon became very angry,
excldming, Madame, am not beg.
garl" and walked out oi the room.
The same evening the wife Of the
Princes only son, who has all along op.
posed the marriage, not relishing the
idea OF there being another Princess
Murat beside herself, offered the Prince
an assured allowance OF $4,000 II he
would remain single. Since then the
Prince has become indifferent and the
abandonment Of the match Is officially
announced, Miss Caldwell has met the
Prince several times while out walking
and driving, since the quarrel on Friday
last, but on each occasion he has passed
BY without saying asinge word or even
raising bis hat.
Under the circumstances there Is not
the slightest chance Of any reconciliation
being effected or the match ever taking
place. Miss Caldwell Is about 10 return
TO America, and cabins have been EN-
gagged for herself and party on board La
giascogne, which sails from Havre on
November 0.

Tho Hamilton Well a Mystery No
Longer, but Doing Good Work,

Drilling at Other Points,
Special DlpaieA o Ms Mteltgaez,


WASHINGTON, W, Va, Oct. Sl,-The
oil excitement which has for several
weeks been at fever heat, has become
more temperate and active business
transactions have commenced. The
Hamilton well, which has been kept by
its proprletors secret, is no longer a
mystery, Yesterday It gave to the
owners new and lasting encouragement,
No one was astonished when, about 8
o'clock, she showed IN oAs,half hour a
production Of an average per day of 800
barrels, oil Is flowing freely into
the hidden tanks regularly.
Your reporter was informed by several
responsible oil men that the we'll Is a
beauty and is one OF the character that
fulfilled the hopes OF the most sangulne
oil developers.
Property within the corporate limits
and adjoining for miles Ground Is being
sought and secured, Whatever Man.
nington and the surrounding country
may prove 10 be as an oil field 1t will
not want for capital to developit.
The town Is as busy as q bee aud
transactions large and small are hourly
being consummated. Montgomery, De-
witt, Scott and hundreds Of others are
in the field.
To-day Prof. White was on the ground
and doing the locating for the two first
named gentlemen. ThederriCks on tile
Burt farm are in progress and work will
be commenced at once. Ira Dewitt will
commence at once on A. w. Knots
land in the town and should the first
well prove satisfactory his place will bc
covered with derricks. Derricks will
also be placed upon Mr.. Knott's o. acres
below Butts tannery.
Mr.. Huston, the general manager OF
Mr.. Ira Dewitt, has contracted for the
drilling OF wells upon the lands OF W.
II. Hall, VIM. Duncan, Mrs. Elizabeth
Sartain, Joseph Crowell and Thomas
Smith. Mr.. Montgomery has more than
an equal amount upon other lands, in
Guiding William Erwin's, In the town.
The most unfortunate are those who

other bona fide leasers, and upon top OF
this lease to Others for consideration.
There Is trouble In the courts for the
man who does 1t and the small amount
received will not pay for the cost and
trouble. Your correspondent has been
informed Of one or two transactions Of
this character.
The drilling on Starvation Run, near
Metz, by the South Penn, on the land Of
the West Virginia Oil aud Gas Company,
is progressing nicely after long seiee
Of fishing. The Cunningham Run we'll
on Bongamon Is not quite completed,
and when in will show a splendid gasser,
the light from which is visible In the
heavens nightly at this distance, which
Is supposed to be ten miles. Should IL
happen that oil Is not found in every
we'll thatmay be- drilled in at this point,
sufficient gas may be- found to supply
the factories Of the city of Wheeling.
The town is full Of takers and show.

Important News from Stanley is
Expected Soon,
THE INTEREST IN EUROPE
Over the News from AGfIoa-why Miss
oaldwell's Engagement to Prince
Muratwas Brolen-.They Don't
Speak Now-FoFeisp News.

LONDON, Oct, Silt Is again an,
nounced that we are speedily to receive
important news concerning the Stanley
expedition, The first week in Noyem'
ber is now mentioned as the date and
people are waiting with such patience
and credulity as they may possess for
the promised developments. The Bel
gian sources OF information have been
besleged in every possible manner, but
both court and servants seem aggrieved
Of being suspected Of possessing inior,
nation which they arc not willing to
communicate to the public. Even ru.
mors Of disaster to the expedition have
failed to draw forth denial OF their
truth, and yet there isa widespread feel.
ing that the public is being hoodwinked
In the matter. Sir Mackinnon, president
OF the British East African Company,
and Mr.. Mckenzie, the frat administra.
tor, might be expected from their
nationality TO be nOn'Committal, but
press representatives, repulsed In their
quest for information, naturally accuse
them oil evasion and even OF open denial
OF news confidently stated To be in the
possession OF the company.
The impression that Stanley has been
beaten back in his attempt 10 reach Zan-
Eibar by passing down the west shore Of
the Albert Nyanza, and that the Arab
slave traders hold the key to the situa.
tion is widely accepted. There Is, un-
fortunately, little doubt that the organi.
cation Is sadly demoralized and broken
up into CliQues, and that some OF the re.
ports that have been brought to the coast
by runners have been OF such character
that they are suppressed in the supposed
interest OF civilization. II any OF the
white men Of the expedition succeed in
gaining the ear OF the world their audi.
enCes will be amazed, but 1t Is more
probable from the stern expression OF
incidents that arc known to have occur
red, that only inklings Of the truth In
regard to an expedition which started
out with such eclat, aud which since its
inception has attracted such unprece.
denIed interest, will ever be known out
side Of special circles.

BLOOD CURDLING STORIES

OF the Crimes Of the Famous Benders Re-
called-Kato Bender In st. Louis.
ST.. LOUIS, Oct, 3l.-0n the Chicago &
Alton train that arrived at the Union
depot at 7 o'clock this morning, were
two women, who were supposed to be
the last survivors Of the infamous Ben
der family, whose bloodcurdling history
sent u thrill Of horror through the coun.
try some eighteen years ago.
The two were Mrs. Eliza, Davis, who
was on trial for some time in Niles,
Mich, on the charge Of grand larceny,
aud her mother, Mrs. Munro, whom Mrs.
Davis, during her trial, claimed is the
notorious Mrs. Bender, the mother OF
the Kansas family Of murderers. Mrs.
Davis admits herself to be Kate Bender,
and on her own admission, will be made
to suffer In company with her mother,
provided Mrs. Munro Is proven TO be
the notorious mur eress.
