The Most Beautiful Woman in New York.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch.1
New York, Feb. 27.-The clubs and
drawing rooms of the town have been very
much interested during the past few days
over the announcement, made apparently
on good authority, that Miss Mabel Wright.
who is held by some people to be the most
beautiful woman in New York, has become
engaged to Ferdinand Yznaga, at one time
brother-in-law of w. K. Vanderbilt. Miss
Wright is tall girl, a perfect blonde of
the Scandinavian type, and she can count
her admirers by the score. Her family,
curiously enough, has never been identified
with the swell society in which she has,
F! during three or four years, cut
so prominent a figure. When she was
| introduced at the Patriarchs' ball about 1851
no one knew much about her, but her I'M
usual beauty made so great an impression
| that the lack of aristocracy connections
was very promptly passed over.
| Ferdinand Yznaga is brother of Lady
Vaudeville, nee Consuela Yznaga. About
ten years ago he married Mary Virginia
Smith, more Familiarity known as Gennie
Smith, sister of Mrs. w. K. Vanderbilt
and sistea also of ''Mimi' Smith, who is at
present occupied in securing a divorce
from her husband, Baron de Fontenilliat.
The married life of the YZnagas was not
particularly happy. Some three years ago
Mrs. Yznaga went to California in pri-
vate car furnished by w. K. Vanderbilt,
and secured adivorce, the proceedings not
meeting with any opposition from
Mr.. Yznaga. Mrs. Yznaga afterwards
married George Tiffany, a grandson OF
! Commodore Perry, and a nephew of Mrs.
August Belmont, and at one time secretary
of the American legation at Vienna. Fer
dinand Yznaga has been for some years
party to the house of p. q. Hollins Il Co.
This firm represented w. K Vanderbilt In
Wall street, when Vanderbilt was operat
ing in stocks. Yznaga is said now to be
worth al the way from five hundred thou
sand to one million dollars. 1t is under
stood he has been of important fnaneia
J assistance to his sister, Lady Vaudeville
: and another sister also who married an
Englishman. The story in society is tina
, Lady Vaudeville is very much opposed II
her brother marrying Miss Wright.

a Mail Car Burned at Blue Creek.

DENVER, Feb. 27.-An Ogden special to
the Republican says: There was an inter
esting and exciting race on the Central Pa
cific this morning near Blue creek, thirty
five miles west of here. 1t was a race
against time, and the goal ahead was a
water tank six miles distant. AS the west
bound fast mail reached point six miles
east of Blue creek the engineer discovered
that the mail car. which was filled with
through mail, was on fire. An effort was
made to put it out, but there being no water
near the engineer threw open the throttle
and resolved to reach the water tank if pos
sible to save his valuable cargo. Each min
ute the burning train was mile nearer the
promised rescue. Six minutes landed the
burning train under the spout Of the tank,
but too late. The interior was seething
mass of flames, and 15S sacks of through
mail were almost totally consumed. Word
soon spread through the coaches that the
train was on fire. The greatest excitement
prevailed, and it was hard to prevent pas
sengers from jumping from the cars.
Thomas Orchard, chief clerk Of the railway
mail service at Ogden, was ON the train
He says he is unable to give even theory
of the firing Of the train, as it seems impos
sible that it should have caught from flying
sparks.

Tie Senate.

WASHINGTON, Feb 27-The Senate bill
to establish certain ports of delivery in
Alaska was reported and placed on the
calendar.
The calendar was then taken up and the
following bills, among others, were passed:
To authorize the Oregon a ID Washing
ton Bridge company to construct "a bridge
across the Columbia river between the
states of Oregon and Washington and to
establish it as a post road.
To amend the timber culture act. The
bill merely applies to questions Of detail.
The Senate then proceeded to the con-
sideration of the bill to declare unlawful
trusts and combinations in restraint of
trade and production. Sherman, who re-
ported the bill from the committee on
finance. said he had been instructed by the
committee to move to strike out the third
section, which fixed the penalties for
offenses of entering into trusts or combi-
nations
George opposed the bill both on the
ground of Its inefficiency and on the
Eround that Congress had no constitutional
BOWER TO enact it. His arguments were
mainly of a legal and technical character,
designed to prove that it would be impossi-
BILE ever to get a conviction under the bill
and as to the civil suits provided for, he
said few such events would ever be insti
tuted and not one would be successful
Reagan gave notice of an amendment
which he intended TO offer, the bill being
offered by him December last. The bill
went over without action. After executive
session, adjourned.
