HAPPY ENDING.
He Married the Girl and Appeased the
Old Mans Wrath.


COLUMBIA Is. CO., March 8th.-A seDsa-
tlonal affair IS reported tonight from
Blanden county, n. G. For some time
Joseph Ellar has been very attentive to
Miss Mamie CuIbreth, pretty and lovely
girl, and about one month ago 1t was re-
ported that they would soon be married.
But suddenly Ellar ceased to visit Miss
Culbreth, and when her father questioned
her about the matter she told tale which
SO enraged him that he swore vengeance
against the young man. Placing two large
reyolyers in his pocket the father started
in search of Ellar, but on the solicitation
of friend of the latter Culbreth agreed to
fight a duel with Ellar with pistols instead
of perforating him at sight. Ellar was
found and agreed to this. Darlington
county was selected as the battle-ground,
and on Wednesday morning the two men
reached the battle field.
As the seconds were about to step off the
space Ellar, looking Culbreth in the face,
asked: What is all this about ?"
"You have deceived and ruined my
daughter, SIR
"How have deceived her?'
"In that you have proposed to her and
now decline to marry her,"
For moment Ellar stood perfectly still,
and then he said: "Mr. CClbreth, ! love
your daughter, and if you will forgive me
/ am ready to marry her, and will try to
make her good and faithful husband"
This proposition was agreed to, and the two
men fired their revolyers in the air, and
then all parties again mounted their horses
and rode back home. They arrived there
about o'clock, and Ellar and Miss Gull
breth were made man and wife without
further DELAY

RAzzLE DAZZLE.
The Composer of the Popular Waltz De-
serts His Family.

Inc composer VI Lno OpuidA UaAt1 DO-
serts His Family.
OAKLAND, March 8th.-There is a sensa-
ton in Oakland musical and social circles
over the disappearance of 2. A. Gilbert, the
composer of the "RaZzle Dazzle waltz and
other popular airs. Gilbert was a some
what erratic genius, formerly in the employ
of Kohler & Chase. Subsequently he en-
gagged in teaching music and had large
number of pupils. He appeared to be do
ing well financially and spent money
freely.
Gilbert resided with his wife, prepos-
sessing, dark eyed brunette, in handsome
ly furnished apartments in the Playter
block.
Saturday afternoon about 2 clock he in
formed his wife that he was going 20 attend
musical engagement in San Francisco.
There was nothing peculiar in his manner
or remarks, but he did not return and his
wife has not seen him since. Monday a
letter was received by friend of Gilberts
in this city in which he inclosed note to
his wife. 1t was in most melancholy
strain. He said: II think am fulfilling
your wishes in leaving"
Further OH he writes: ~ will leave be-
hind all hopes of friendship, love and even
fame. l am going to give up music as a
deeeiyiDg and mercenary art, will never
IN my q hope SHORTY life listen or turn to it
again" In another place he says: Anna,
bear you no i'll will and do not think
you heartless or unkind. Do not try to
come to me. If you do shall shoot my
self | swear it.n
All efforts to find any clew to the where
abouts of the missing man have failed.
The wife is left with no provisluA fO- her
support but her own efforts IN teaching
music. She says that she cannot account
for the action of her husband unless he is
temporarily insane.

COVERING UP THE SCARS.
Russia Said to be Paradise and the Gar

Russia Said to be a Paradise and the Gar
an Angel of Mercy.
LONDON, March Sth.-The outrages COM
mitted by Russian officials in Siberia upon
helpless male and female prisoners have
led to an inquiry on the part OF various
correspondents and others into some of the
methods employed by the Russian Govern
ment to the end of suppressiDg facts and
creating favorable impressions, with the
result of ascertaining that vast number of
persons of the higher class are engaged In
the work of representing the Russian en-
pire as veritable paradise and the Gar as
an angel of mercy.
The Government lately sent to the United
States fifty spies or agents-thirty-hve
women and fifteen men-charged with the
duty of endeavoring to modify the impress
sions made by magazine and newspaper
articles on the American people, and also
to secure the passage of an extradition
treaty looking to the retdrn to Russia OF
fugitive political offenders.
These emisssries are under assumed
names, and are known only to the secret
police at st. Petersburg. They are well
supplied with money, and are instructed to
hold no open communication with one an
other.
The ostensible object of their visit to
America is to lecture on Russian subjects,
which discourses will be supplemented by
the publication of articles in various news
papers laudatory of the Car and his gov
ernment. Ten of the fifty are directed to
go to Washington TO iBgratiate themselves
with members of both houses of Congress,
and TO ultimately gain an entrance into
the best American society.
Already three of these emissaries have
arrived in America. two ladies of high
birth and one gentleman of equally high
social position, an officer in the Russian
army.
One OF the ladies is delivering lectures
and giving readings on Eussia in the West
ern States, and the other is similarly en-
gagged IN the Southern States, while the
gentleman is sojourniDg IN Washington
cultivatiDg desirable acquaintance, writ
ing occasional newspaper articles pertinent
to bis mission, and taking general survey
of the field pending the arrival Of his col
leagues.

Sidney Dillon on the Proposition sug-
gested by Secretary Window.
New YORK, March Sth.-Sidney Dillon
was interviewed concerning Secretary
Windom's proposal to substitute for United
States per cent. bonds, winch form part
of the Sinking Fund of the Union Pacific
Railroad, an equal amount of tirst-mort-
gage bonds of that railroad, bearing 8 per
cent interest.
He said the scheme would be favored by
the company. The sale of the company s
bonds would be an advantage, while the
interest, although coming out of the roads
earnings, would be applied toward the can
collation. of the liability to the Government.
Window bases his proposition on de.
cision rendered by the Attorney General
unopr he Cleveland Administration.
What the Government ought to do,
however" said Dillon, sis to take the bonds
of our branch roads in exchange for It's
bonds. These roads have been declared to
be of benefit to the main line, and the sub
stitution of their securities for the Govern
ment's would be Of greater advantage to
the road than even the proposed arrange
ment"

MONTANA SENATORS.
The Republican Senator'S VIII Likely be
Seated.

WASHINGTON, March 8th.-The Senate
Committee on Privileges aud Elections,
after long session to-day, finally reached
a decision in the case Of the contested Mon
tana Senatorship, and by party vote de-
cided to recommend to the Senate that
Powers and Saunders, the Republican Sen
ators, be seated.
The ground upon which the majority of
the committee takes its stand as a basis for
its recommendation is that the Republican
House of Montana was legal House, as
its members held certificates of election
from the election officers and was recog-
pized as legal House by the State Senate.
The report of the committee will not be
made for several days, as it will be long
document, discussing both the law and the
facts in the case.
Gray, it is expected, will prepare report
for the minority. The presentation of the
reports will be the signal for an extended
debate, and it may be several weeks before
the Senate will reach a vote on the SUBJ
ject.
Turpie is of the opinion that no election
has been accomplished and the case should
be remitted to the State of Montana for
action. He may make an Independent re-
port to that effect.

Romance of a Young Woman.

Professor Rodolfo Lanciani describes in
the North american ReuieE an interesting
find in an old Roman tomb-the coffin of
young woman, whose history he is able
to give in a most interesting way. He
says
"Who was this woman, whose sudden
and unexpected appearance has created
such sensation among US? When did
she live? At what age did she die?
What was her condition in life? Did she
have happy existence, loving and loved?
Was she handsome? Why was she buried
with her doll? The careful examination
of the tomb, as described above, enables us
to answer satisfactorily all these questions
with certainty in some cases, with prob
ability in others. Crepereia Tryphaena
must have lived at the beginning of the
third century after Christ, under the en-
pire of Septimius Severus or Caracalla, as
shown by the form Of the letters and by
the style of the bas-relief engraved on the
sarcophagus. She was not noble woman
by birth; her Greek surname, Tryphaena,
proves that she belonged to a family Of
freedmen-that is to say, of former serv-
ants of the noble family of the Creper eli
She was well proportiened, tall and erect
Professor Alessandro Ceccarelli, the dis
tingnished surgeon, who at onr request has
kindly examined and rearranged the skel-
eton, states her age as seventeen or eight
cen. We know nothing about her features,
but we can at least state that she had a
strong and fine set of teeth. There is nc
doubt that she was betrothed to the young
man Philetus, whose name is engraved on
the stone of the second ring, and that the
two happy and loving youths had ex-
changed the oath Of faith aud mutual de-
yotion for life, as represented by the SYM
boil of the two hands clasped together. The
story Of her sad death and Of the sudden
grief which overlook her family on the
very eve of joyful wedding, istold plainly
by the presence in her coffin of the doll
and Of the myrtle wreath"

NEVADA CITY, March Sth.-The dispute
as to the boundary lines between the
Idaho and Maryland quartz mines Of

New YORK, March Sth.-How much
does it cost nian about town to live in a
becoming way in New York This ques-
ton was touched upon by the referee in
the case of William Stow against the exec
utors of the late Charles J. Osborn. The
opinion is adverse to the plaintiff, who
brought suit to recover about $50, 600 loaned
by him to Howell Osborn and for which
he once got judgment.
Slow sued for the payment out OF the in
come from $500, COO trust fund set apart
for Howell Osborn by his fathers will. In
his opinion the referee says that Stow
visited Osborn while he was living with a
woman not his wife and deliberately loaned
him money to enable him to maintain his
course OF dissipation.
This woman was Fay Templeton, with
whom he lived for a time in San Francisco.
She cost him about $4,000 a year. Alto.
eether he spent about 100000 year, and
then complained that he did not have
enough. He spent from $1,000 to So, 600 a
year in clothes and from 1000 to $4,000 in
cab hire. Even during his fathers life
time he spent from $1,000 to $1,000 year

to the Promised Land.
ST.. LOUIS, March Sth.-The latest ad-
vices from Oklahoma Territory are TO the
effect that not only scores but hundreds OF
"prairie schooners" filled with boomers
hunting for choice claims are moving over
the Cherokee strip in all directions, and
single men and parties with guns on their
shoulders, who claim to be hunters, but
who are really selecting land, are encoun-
tered every day.
More than half a dozen boomers or
ganizations have been formed in Kansas
and Oklahoma, and the boom is on in dead
earnest, and it is believed the Government
will find it very difficult to suppress or
even control it. Boomers are also collect
ing in the Iowa reservation east of Okla
homa and south of the strip in great num-
bers. 1t is believed the Indian police, who
are under orders from Chief Mayes to clear
the strip, will be totally unequal to the oc-
casion. A report is in circulation that
colonists have made an agreement for a
concerted movement TO invade the strip

tiny is told by Captain William Pratley of
the ship Riela, from Rio Janeiro, of the
Reina, rice ship from Calcutta, which put

There were nine sailors before the mast,
and the Captain, first mate and five sailors
were in irons. When several days out
from Calcutta some bad pork was given to
the sailors and during the night nine mu.
tinted. When they complained of the
food the Captain said he would starve
them into submission. The men then
armed themselves with pistols and old
swords and headed by the second mate
commanded the Captain to give them the
key to the storeroom. The Captain re-
fused and summoned the first mate and
five seameu, but they only could find two
pistols and musket. Two of the sailors
that stood by the Captain were shot down.
The Captain, first mate and three sailors
were placed in irons by the mutineers. who
brought the ship to Rio. The British Con-

coRcoRAN,s EXPLANATION.
He Says the Irish Land League Books
Were Burned.

CHICAGO, March Sth.-Michael Corcoran,
of Lincoln, Neb., has written letter to the
Inter Ocean, and explains why the books
and checks of the Irish Land League were
not produced before the Times Parnell
Commission in London.
Corcoran says that Patrick Egan left
these papers with him in the Hibernian
Bank, Dublin, in 1888. subsequently Egan
left for America, and it seemed best for
him, Corcoran, to have the books and
checks burned, though Egan in his note
had assured him that there was no treason
in them.
Corcoran says it was his own thought
to burn them, without suggestion from
anybody else, and if it was fault to do so,
ii was his alone.
