souABBLE OVER BISHOPS ESTATE.
Three women are now fighting
over the petty estate left By the late
mind-reader, Bishop. One is his
mother, the other two are women
to whom he had been married, one
of which he had been divorced from
The divorce calls the other one,
the 'salleged widow" AS the estate
consists of jewelry worth only about
$4,000, it is likely that the lawyers
will get the MOST of it., The divorced
wife claims the property under an
old will made before Bishop mar
ried her, in which he left his estate
to her mother in trust for her. The
will is dated three years before she
and Bishop were married. She is
only twenty-three years of age now,
and extremely pretty. Bishop was
madly in love with her but their
union did not prove happy, and a
divorce soon followed the wedding.
The widow is very indignant that
the divorced wife should claim the
estate, and the mother says that
neither of the women shall have q
dollar, SO the triangular fght is very
interesting.
-., A ROYAL MARRIAGE.
Last Saturday, ct noon, Princess
Louise, eldest daughter ofthe Prince
Of Wales, was married to the Earl
of Fife. The ceremony took place
in the private chapel of Bucking-
ham palace. The Earl of Fife, who
is popularity known as "Macduff,"
was attired in Highland costume.
The bride wore a dress of white
satin trimmed with orange blossoms
and point lace veil. This is a
true love match, and one that gives
great satisfaction to the people of
the United Kingdom. The Princess
is twenty-three years old, and the
Earl is thirty-nine.
CORNER ON FLORIDA ORANGES.
1t is reported that q meeting of
the fruit merchants who are inter-
ested in the Florida orange crop will
be held in New York in q few days.
The object of the meeting is osten-
sibly to combine the large houses
in the trade for the purpose of OBJ
tanning lower rates Of freight, quick
er and better transportation and
concentration of shipments to two
or three of the most important
Northern cities. But it is said the
real object is to form an orange
trust which will control the entire
trade of the Florida orange crop,
packing and shipping, and to con-
fine the sale of oranges to members.
1t is proposed to form a pool of
100 leading merchants and capital
lists, each one of whom is to con-
tribute $4,000. The promoters of
the scheme claim it is not a trust
but cooperative arrangement for
the benefit of the growers, shippers
and sellers.
WALKING ON THE WATER.
A dispatch from Paris says that
0. w. Oldwine, of Chelsea, who has
invented appliances enabling him
to walk on the water, made a sue.
cessful trial on the river at that city
lately, and walked on the water FIVE
and a half miles.
SKELETONS IN A CAVE.
A dispatch from Yankton, Dakota,
says that st. Helena, on the Ne
braska side of the Missouri, ten
miles below Yankton, is in a state
of great excitement over a CHASTITY
discovery made there a few days
ago. Parties who were prospecting
in the chalk cliffs of that neighbor-
hood for material for manufactur-
ing cement, came upon a small
opening in the Missouri river face
of the rock. It was found to be a
large apartment carved by nature
in the soft chalky substance. But
the startling feature of the incident
was the discovery within this cave
of eight human skeletons. These
were lying about on the floor of the
cavern in such disorder as to dis
credit the theory that the cave might
be an ancient burial place. > The
age of the bones cannot be deter
mined, but they have unquestion-
ably been there a very long time.
The belief prevails that these are
the skeletons of early settlers, who
sought shelter in the cave when at
tackled by Indians years ago, and
that they were either killed in q
body or starved to death.
KILLING BY ELECTRICITY.
The Kemmler reference still con-
tinues in New York. A great num-
Der of experts have been examined
in regard to the deadly power OF
electricity. Among those examined
day or two ago, was DR.. Cyrus
Edson, physician in charge Of the
health department of New York
city, told of his experiments at Co.
