KING MILAN's SURPRISE.
His support Would be an Aid in the Acqui-
sitlon of Persia.

LoNDoN. June liking Milan has
this week experienced the novel SenSa-
tion of finding a newspaper with good
word for him. The fact that the news
paper in question is the NOrOe I'rcmyd,
the Semi-onicial organ Of the Russian
Government. should suggest even To
MilanS mind that the praise is not alto
gether diSintercSted. Russia, ii seems,
among all her adhercntS in Servia, can
not count a man of great intellectual
gifts. strong nerve, and above all, of
commanding influence in the SerVian
army. According to the Noroc IrcmUi
/ Milan possesses all these qualities and
qualifications. but he does not love
Russia. The objection, however, is not
thought 10 be inSurmountablc. Milan
must reside certain part of every year
in Russia and learn to love.
But Milan has said with much force
of language that he will not walk into
the Russian parlor, no matter how al
mring the willy spider may make it,.
He abdicatcd a crown for the sake of
enjOying life in Paris, and other places
where enjoyment is to be had, and he
wont have any more state business to
worry him if he can help it. Austria
has punished the radical MuScovite
Government by prohibiting the import
of Servian cattle, thus running Servia's
greatest industry. The farmers and
peasants are in consequence prepared
to kick the Ministry into the Danube AT
the first opportunity. The game is, of
course, really being played by Russia
and Austria. and the balance of Euro
pean opinion points to the former as
the eventual winner.

coming from Yokohama are armed with re

show of violence. The government seems
to be doing all in its power TO deal with the

be offered them as individuals, because of
their desperate character. In the mean

There are many vague rumors afloat con-
cerning the reported taking of Corea by the

nothing as to its nature. All that is surely

SWELL WEDDING COMING.
Marriage of Miss Caldwell to German
Baron.

WASHINGTON, June 1j.-The swell
wedding which is now more than all
other ones of the near future exciting
the interest of the cream of fashionable
society is that of Miss Lima Caldwell to
Baron Won Zedtwitz. Miss Caldwell is
the young millionairess who gave Il mil
lion or so of dollars toward founding
the new Catholic University, the first
great building of which has been re-
Gently occupied. The beautiful chapel
of the University owes its entire exist
ence to the muniticence of Miss Cald-
well, and before its altar the ceremony
of marriage will be unostentatiously
performed next Tuesday morning.
1t will be remembered that Miss
Gwendoen Caldwell, a sister of the
bride to be, recently created sensa-
tion all over the civilized world by first
offering to marry Prince Murat and set
tie a comfortable annuity on him, and
then promptly throwing his royal nibS
overheard when he objected to the size
of the annuity. Miss Gwcndolcn will
be present at the wedding of her sister.
and IL is evident that Miss Lima will not
absorb all the attention, as all 'socicty"
appears to be anxious to set eyes on one
American girl who had the good sense
to give the sack TO a prince. Miss Lima
wedS young German baron who has
been well-known in Washington society
for years as an attache of the German
Embassy, and who has recently been
given the higher diplomatic honor of
German Minister to the Republic of
Mexico. The two sisters are now in
New York. The Baron has not yet ar
rived from Europe, but is expected to
land in time for the wedding.
Though the sisters are lavish in their
they do not allow them
selves to be iockeyed in a business
transaction. Two or three years ago
society was shocked To hear that Il
florist had brought suit against them
for flower bill amounting to many
hundreds of dollars, and extending over
the whole of the fashionable season.
They refused to pay because they be-
lievcd the bill was eXorbtant, and did
not shrink from hearing in court.
The matter was finally compromised.

THE STORM.
Another Heavy Rain Visits this Neighbor-

The high thermometer Of yesterday after

nearly an hour About an inch and hall
Of water fell, deluging the streets, and, as
usual. bringing down Il big lot Of stuff from
the face of Wheeling hill. The water
overfowed the sidewalks AT number OF
points. running into several cellars in the
business part Of town, but doing no par
ticular damage All of the small streams
ran out heavily in the vicinity Of the city.

Indian Run. near Bellaire, was very high,
and caused some alarm for time.
There was a heavy storm west of the
city. between half-past and 3 o'clock yes
terday morning, the lightning in that quar-
ter OF the heavens being almost incessant.
At one time thirty-two flashes of lightning
were counted in three minutes.
The storm caused a delay on both the
Baltimore n Ohio and Ohio River rail
roads. There was a big slip on the b. X o.
al the NarrOws covering the road bed fora
considerable distance to a depth of several
feet. and throwing a large amount of earth
and rock down on the Ohio river track.
The result was the blocking of both roads,
delaying trains for five or six hours. The
b. X o. train from the east, due at II -,
was not expected to reach the city before 3
or o'clock this morning, while the Chica-
go express, east bound. went around by
way of Pittsburg The Ohio river train
got in at 30 this morning, transfer be
ing made.
Caldwell's Run got on a terrible full. and
the way the water shot down and around
the several curves in the crooked stream
was something startling to behold. Every
body expected great deal of damage
would be done and it is surprising there
was not, but strange to say all the water
got through without taking anything valu-
able with il. or doing any noticeable dam
age. A good many people from up town
went down TO the run after the rain, eX-
pecting To see big waShout, but they were
diSa ppointed.

Wheeling now numbers, probably,

A COLLEGE EVENT.
Secretary Blaine to Attend the Celebra-
tion at Washington

WASHINGTON, PA, June l5.-WashinntOu
will entertain Secretary of State James c..
Blaine next week. President Moffat has
returned from Washington and has been
assured by Mr.. Blaine that he will attend
the celebration of the union of Washing
ton and jefferson college TO be held June
25th. Governor Beaver will also take part
in the celebration. A large number of the
alumni of the college will be present. The
celebration has been taken in hand by some
of Washington's most prominent citizens,
graduates of the college. tits looked for
ward 10 with great interest.
The circumstances attending the union Of
the two colleges will not soon be forgotten
on account of the extreme bitterness of
feeling and strenuous opposition which the
move met with
The union was effected by vote of the
Trustees of both institutions When the
vote was taken, however, it was the inten-
tion to unite the colleges under one name
and carry them on under one body Of
Trustees at their respective locations.
This plan, however, failed and steps were
taken TO consolidate the two colleges at
the same location A committee was ap-
pointed by the Governor TO settle on some
place as site for the united institution.
As Washington offered $4,000, and Can
onsburg, the seat OF Jefferson College, but
$40, ,OOJ, the college was located at Wash
ington.
At the time of the proposed union the en-
dowment fund of jefferson was consider
ably more than that of Washington and
the attendance larger. The Trustees of
jefferson College and the citizens of Can
Onsburg thought that, taking these facts
into consideration, Canonsburg was fairly
entitled TO the consolidated college. An
injunction was sued out restraining the
Board of Trustees from removing the col
legiate department of Washington and JEFF
ferson College from Canonsburg to Wash
ington, and six bills Of equity were filed in
the Supreme Court. The arguments pre-
sented were TO the effect that the action
of the Board of Trustees was unconsttu-
tiOnal as CanOnsburg was the place for the
performance of scholarship contracts. JEFF
ferson College could not be removed with
out the assent of the holders OF scholarships
to a change of the charter of the college.
The case was ably prepared and vigor-
ously contested. II was finally decided in
favor of Washington. An appeal was
promptly taken to the Supreme Court of
the United States, but after due delibera
tion was withdrawn.
The feeling that sprung up as result Of
the affair was most bitter, and the success
with which Washington and Jefferson Col
legc has met. was certainly not presaged at
the time the institution was founded.

ANINFLUX OF PITTsBURGERs.
An Excursion Party Which Comes to Griei
In the Rain.

There was an unusually large number oi
excursiOnsts down from Pittsburg yester-
dav. and they all went out TO the park to
spcnd the afternoon When they got back
into town they were the dampest, most be
draggled lot of people you ever saw. There
were many women in the party, aud if their
skirts were not hanging limp about their
limbs. they had them rolled up about
their waists. and one train load OF
them went hustling down Sixteenth street
from the motor line to the b. & O. depot
to catch the seven o'clock train. They
vaded through water and mud recklessly
pulling children after them, while their
husbands toddled behind. One woman in
particular. created quite a sensation along
the street.
Her dress was soaked, and she came sail
inc down the street holding out the skirt Of
her dress in fan fashion. showing once
white underskirt, and pair of slppered
feet. Her lower limbs were covered with
barber-pole stockings, which were very
apparent half way to the knee, and She
was sight.
Some of the gang was the toughest ever
coming down. and several of the women
went home with their heads covered with
wet handkerchiefs and feeling very sick at
the stomach They had INDUCED in too
much beer and couldn't carry 1t back with
them.
One woman who came down TO
visit friends was overheard recount
ing her adventures on the train
coming down. She said a number
of men got into fight. and knives and re
volvers were pulled. Said she;
"They was near NE, but as long as they
didn't monkey with me | wasn't sayin'
nothin', but you bet your life | had my
hand on nv umbrella, and if they had
teched me. I'd a swiped them lopsided."
No doubt she had some of the same ex-
perience going home.
