From the NelC Orleans Times. Democrat.
SAN ANTONIO, Dec. 19.-W. MeCraw
died at the Maverick hotel in this city last
night, and in his death another chapter in
tragic life romance was ended. 10 is the
hackneyed OLD story Of mans duplicity and
woman's weakness, and several years ago
filled columns in the sensational newspa-
pers of the country.
About twelve years ago party of ladies
and gentlemen went from Bryan, Tex, to
Galveston on pleasure trip. In the party
were McCraw and his wife and b. II. Davis
and wife McCraw at the time was an ex-
tensive cotton buyer at Bryan, and Davis
was q leading lawyer. The party went
bathing in the surf at Galveston one even
ing, and Mrs. Davis disappeared. She was
supposed to have been drowned In the Gulf,
was mourned as dead, and solemn funeral
ceremonies were held at Bryan, in which
McCraw was one of the chief sympathizers
with the bereaved husband.
A few days after the funeral McCraw
left for New York on urgent business A
short time after his arrival in New York
mutual family friends discovered McCraw
and Mrs. Davis, who was mourned as dead,
occupying a room as husband and wife.
The news of the discovery was flashed to
Texas. and created profound sensation all
over the state on account OF the prominence
in social and business circles Of the two
families.
Mrs McCraw, the deserted wife. at once
filed suit in the courts at Bryan for divorce
from her husband, and Davis pursued the
same course with his truant wife, and then
disappeared from public notice, nothing
being heard Of him until a few years ago,
when he resumed the practice OF law at Ell
Paso.
McCraw and Mrs. Davis remained
together in New York for several months,
and then their friends lost sight Of them.
Six years ago old Texas friends Of McCraw
received news of him in Dakota. inquiring
about his wife and daughter, whom he had
deserted. This brought about correspond
ence between father and child, resulting in
the father sending his child to Vassar Col
lege
After graduating from the New York
seminary, Miss McCraw returned to her
mother in Texas, and they removed to San
Antonio three wears ago for the mothers
health, Miss McCraw's many and attract
i've charms of person and mind soon made
her popular in the society Of this city. Last
June, through the effort of Miss McCraw,
her father and mother were again brought
together in Dakota after twelve years Of
separation, during which time McCraw had
amassed large fortune by dealing in
Dakota wheat.
The divorced couple were remarked, and
short while since came to this city to have
stubborn cancer on the face Of Mr..
MoCraw treated, which was the cause of
his death to-day. 1t is not known what be-
came of Mrs. Davis, though various are the
surmises as to her fate. McCraw's body
was shipped to Bryan for interment.

H. TR1CoUPIs, PRIME MINISTER OF GREECE
DR.. Irving J. Manatt, consul of the
United States of America at Athens, paid
DR.. Talmage marked attenrioa, and did all in
his power TO be of service to him. The con-
sui is highly-educated gentleman, very
eminent Greek scholar, and, until recently,
he filed acceptably the position Of chsncel
Tor of the Nebraska State University. He
called at our hotel quite frequently. In one
Of his several interviews with DR.. Talmage,
the preacher Of the Brooklyn Tabernacle
said that on bis return to the United States
he should recommend to wealthy people
who ara DESTROYS of aiding deserving theo-
logical students to secure an education, to
send them out in groups of ten or twenty
on tour such as he IL now taking. This is
one Of the grandest cures for dry sefmoniZ-
ing. Young men thirsting for knowledge
would willingly dispense with luxury, and
living together could, by practicing
ordinary economy. go over the
same territory for about $3.50 each. What

Of the inadequacy of pictures of Christ to
satiS . the mind of the devout believer, DR..
Tainnas5 told DIR. Mauatt that ne had found
but one which did, aud that after long and
comprehensive search. 1t was the work of
a young and comparatively unknown
artist, and would appear in his forthcoming
life of Christ" Until that time this
precious discovery viii, by agreement, be
kept unseen by the general public.
1t was in his mail that DR.. Talmage found
the suggestion of that stroke of enterprise
which will make the new tabernacle in
Brooklyn point Of interest to the wander
ing antiquarian, as well as to the great
multitude hungering for the sound doctrine
TO be thereat dispensed He opened his
mail at breakfast time, and, finding in it an

Suiting the action to the word, he sat down
and penned letter to the prime minister,
who responded that he should have great
pleasure in attending to the request made.
Nothing could have been more satisfactory.
Highly graflfied at his success, DR.. Talmage
Immediately made arrangements to have

She smiled pleasantly ana bowed in
recognition OF the compliment. The
queen said she had heard that Dr.
Ialmage was o. his way TO Palestine and
hoped sincerely that he and his party would
enjoy a safe and pleasant journey. We
were all charmed with the simplicity Of the
queen and the cordial manner in which she
received us. Our interview with her was
one of the most delightful incidents Of the
trip, and DIR. Talmage insisted that all the
eulogies that he had heard concerning the
gracious lady fell short Of doing her JUS
tice. We did not meet the King of Greecs

Corinth, where he was about TO emoark

When ia Athens, Dr. Talmage attended
highly interesting lecture delivered by Pro-
fessor Stanhcpe Orris, late professor of
Greek at Princeton College, and now
director Of the American School of Classical
Studies at Athens, on "Plato's Discourse
Concerning the Immortality of the Soul. :"
In the speech ne was called upon TO make
at the close Of the lecture, DR.. Talmage
said, among other things: ''As, in America

other places, at Bellows Falls rolls be-
tween banks so close that you can almost
leap across it, so the great river Of Plato's
writings has rolled to-day between the mar

The United States minister, Mr.. A. NJ,
Snowden, being absent at Bucharest and
our stay at Athens but brief, it was appar-
emily not within the range of possibilities
for DIR. Talmage and party to be presented
TO the queen. A week or ten days notice
being required to secure an introduction to
royalty, we had given up the expectation of
seeing the amiable queen, when, the morn
ing after the interview with II. Tricoupis.
DIR. Falmage was informed by that gentle.
man that he desired to present him and
party to her majesty. When we arrived at
the palace, we found that the ex-Empress
Victoria, widow of the Emperor Frederick
I'LL, was just about to leave Athens, where
she had attended the marriage of her
daughter Sophie to the Grown Prince
OF Greece. She bowed and smiled very
sweetly as she passed us, although her ewes
were tlled with tears on her parting with
the queen. NJ. Tricoupis presented DR.
Ialmage, wife and daughter, and Mr.. and
Mrs Louis Klopsch. Queen Olga shook
hands with all in the right royal Democratic
american fashion, and then engaged DR.

Will Appeal the Auditor Case.

The abrupt termination, on a side issue, of the the suit brought to set tie who is Territorial Auditor, still attracts comment from many taxpay- CTS and citizens. In order to learn if Judge Kibbey's disposition of the abatement plea finally disposes of the case, our reporter called upon Judge Alexander, plaintiffs attorney. That gentleman stated very promptly that the case would proceed. He has made motion for new trlal, winch will probably come up next Thursday, September 18th. If denied an appeal to the Supreme Court will be taken.
 Judge Alexander desires, by this plan, to have all the evidence taken in the case reviewed by the Supreme Court next January, and the question of legality settled finally in favor oi one or the other sets of rival territori al officers He is perfectly willing, he says, to tear up his Attorney-Genera commission, should the Supreme Court decide in favor of Hughes a. Auditor. And he thinks his brothe Democratic officials would do thu Il same.

A W~nt0n Murder.

There has been a good deal of silly nonsense published lately concerning the release from San Quentin of Strong
 Bill, an Indian murderer. Some clt-
 izens of Needles, California, evident

 feelings than good judgment, have
 successfully petitioned Governor Wat

 story of the crime which Strong Bill
 committed is as follows: About thir- | teen years ago, millionaire Blythe,

 known all through California as a
 practical canal man, having met with
 his greatest success in Kern county
 He was an experienced civil engineer
 and thoroughly understood the work ing of large force of men. Finding labor scarce, he induced the Chimi huevi tribe to accept employment or the canal. For some time everything , ran smoothly and the work progressed { rapidly. About 1879 by some mean , whisky was smuggled into camp ant several rows ensued. Mr. Callowa, f told the Indians that he would no Q have any drunken Indians about tn . place.
