An Exploded International Romance.
@. p. Huntington, the American railroad
lnagnate now in Europe, denies the asser-
ton that his daughter is to marry a disso-
lutte prince. He says of the published
reports: THE story is elaborated with
detail which does great credit to the writer's
imagination. Once for all 1 should like to
state that I have not broken off any match
between NY daughter and Prince Hatzfeldt
for the good and sufficient reason that no
such match existed. The young gentleman
has been lavish enough in his attentions,
nor il there very much reason to doubt
the character of his intentions, but i takes
two people to make q bargain-sometlmes
three-and neither my daughter MOI myself
have made up our minds what to think of
this Teutonic nobleman. My purpose i'll
coming to Europe vas quite other than
that of deciding whether my daughter
should become q princess. 1 havo enc
nous business interests on the continent
which for tho present require my. close I'M
divided attention. You may therefore
deny all silly stories."
Chicago River Too Strong for Fish.
Three large fish Of the Sucker" variety
got lost in a great city tho other day, and
came to grief. They were evidently on n
voyage of discovery around the lakes, and
when they reached the Chicago river they
intended seeing what it was like. The
northerly wind had raised the water u foot
or more and there was q good current up
the river. The visitors started gayly up
the stream. They knew not what they
did. The water they 500 found was bad,
and the farther they got the worse it be-
came. Still they struggled bravely OH un-
til they reached Madison street BRIDGE.
There they came to the surface and wig
gled around in q faint, dishcartened way.
Hundreds of passersby stopped and
watched the like of what had not been
seen in Chicago for several decades-live
fish in the river. One of the visitors was
speared and taken on board a tug without
trouble. It weighed between forty and
fifty pounds. Tho other two continued to
paddle most of the forenoon before they
died

Expensive Break OF Cablss.

A London special says: Both Of the
Western Union cables have snapped asun-
der in twenty fathoms Of water just of
Flemish cape, close to the American coast.
The company, however. is continuing to
accept messages, sending them over the
Anglo company cables. This break is .
very serious affair, since IL leaves the
Western Union absolutely without any di-
rect cable connection. Il is the first time
since they we're laid that both of tho cables
have snapped. Under the most favorable
conditions 1t would probably take at least
. monthto repair the damage. and if it is
not done before November the repairs may
have to be delayed until next spring. Tho
cost Of repairing the cables will be over
$500 o day from the time when the
Faraday sails. When in addition to this
n takes into account the losses of the
great volume Of commercial and press
business which usually goes over the
Western Union lines, it will he seen tina
the accident is q very expensive one for
the company.

three weeks ago the charter prepared by

sent orders to Colonel Snyder to

carried out the command at the point Of
the bayonet. The polls were opened early
in the morning and a large crowd assem-

vote, when Captain Stiles threw his COM

Several other efforts were made to open

Death from . Brutal Prize Fight.

Death from = Brutal Prize Fight.
A brutal prize fight occurred in o st,
Louis saloon the other night, which has
resultedin the death Of one of the parti-
cipants. Thomas E. Jackson, we'll known
in prize fighting circles. was the victim.
He was only eighteen years Of age. jack
son fought with Ed Ahearn, the local light
weight champion, eleven bloody rounds,
and at the opening Of the twelfth fell
fainting into his seconds arms. The
fight throughout was one of the most
desperate battles ever witnessed in the
ring, science being lost sight of, and give
and-take slugging marked it throughout.
When Jackson fell unconscious he was
carried to a room above the saloon and
three physicians called in. They worked
vigorously, but without avail, and jackson
died after several hours. The chief Of po-
lice ordered the arrest of all parties CON
cerned in the affair. Prominent people
will likely become involved. The referee
was the sporting editor Of one of the lead
ing morning papers. Ahearn is a gasatter
by occupation and a fighter by inclination.
Jackson was known in sporting circles as
Jack King, and his parents were ignorant
Of his pugilistic ambition.
