TILTED BY A VIOLINIsr.
Miss Nettfe Carpenter Changes Her
Mind at the Last Hour.


Close upon the heels of Artist Whistlcr's
pugilistic encounter at the Drury Lane Thea
ter in London comes another story touching
the artists brother, DR.. Whistler, in which
that gentleman figures as chaperon TO no less
person than Miss Nettie Carpenter, the Ameri-
can violinist, and in an escapade of that young
lady that has set all London society gossiping
When Miss Carpenter concluded to make her
home in London permanently she was taken
under the protection of Mr.. and Mrs. FOWL,
the proprietor of the Midland Grand Hotel
and his wife. and by them was introduced into
the swim of society.
Among others whom the young lady met was
George Thurshfied, young lawyer with
offices in the temple. The feeling between
these two young people soon ripened into an
engagement and it was announced that the
marriage would take place Just four weeks
ago. Mr. and Mrs. FOWL in their self-imposed
obligation as chaperons rendered their country
seat as the scene OF the ceremony and began
preparations for the event to which thew liz
tended giving grand proportions. The parents
OF Mr.. Ihurshfield also made some elaborate
arrangements for the wedding. Cards were
printed and issued, and it WAS looked forward
to as likely to be one of the seasons events
day or two before the wedding was TO have
taken place Miss Carpenter disappeared leav-
ing note for Mr.. FOWL saying that she could
not accompany him to the place where the
ceremony was to be performed. She subsc-
quently told him that she had no love for Mr..
lnurshfeld and could not marry him. She
was then staying with DR.. and Mrs. Whistler,
but her present whereabouts are unknown
Inquiry at the home OF DIR. Whistler deyel-
oped the fact that Miss Carpenter had left that
gentlemans house some five weeks since and
had gone to the Victoria Hotel at Rickmans-
worth; but inquiry there showed she had left
that place and is now else where in the proy-
lnces. The doctor and his family have gone 20
Hamburg. MIR. FOWL eulogizes Miss Carpenter
highly and wishes it to be clearly understood
that she has been guilty of nothing worse than
hckieness. The only blame he attaches TO her
Is the serious unpleasantness she caused him
and Mrs. FOWL. Miss Carpenter was formerly
engaged to Maurice Weber, son Of the lawyer,
John Weber of New York.

An audacious plan, which contemplated the
wholesale kidnapping Of children for ransom,
was revealed yesterday at Kansas City when

Wilson took for an accomplish the coachman Of
Mrs. Jon. Dunlap, wealthy widow living on
McGeo street Mrs. Dunlap's three year-old
boy was to have been the first victim. The
four-year-old son OF James H. Arnold of No.
1913 East 18th street was to have been kid
mapped. After these two had been ransomed
