DENVER, Jan. 5.-The honeymoon OF
Banker Dow's son and MilIlc Price. the
actress, who We're married here Friday
night, came near ending in a murder
and suicide last night. Dow's father
has refused to have anything to do
with him or aid him financially. He
was TO have left here this morning
with the company, and several eredi-
tors, hearing of this, had the Young
man arrested Saturday on u charge OF
obtaining goods under false pretenses.
The trial was set for Wednesday,
which made it necessary for him to
remain behind, but he intended to
Join his wife and the company at Salt
Lake City.
Last night the couple retired to their
room at the Windsor Hotel about 10
o'clock. Two hours later the door was
thrown open and Mrs. Dow rushed
down the hall clad la her night robe,
screaming murder at the top of her
voice. Several guests hurried into the
hall Just i'll time to see the husband
emerge from his room and fire Ii shot
from his revolver at liis fleeing wife.
Seeing that he had failed to hit her he
reentered his room and attempted to
blow his brains out, but tue bullet flew
wide of its mark and he was over
powered before he could make a second
attempt. No one knows the trouble,
but it was probably over money
matters.
This couple have beaten the record.
They met for tho first time on Thurs
day morning of last week, were mar
ried Friday morning, and practically
divorced on Sunday evening.

RICHMOND, Jan. 5.-Judge Leake, OF
the Richmond Chancery Court, to-day
rendered decision which will make
Bette Thomas LOWS the richest col
ored person In Virginia. This case has
been pending for more than two years,
and In many features Is the most re.
markable ever before a Virginia court.
Two years ago w. A. Thomas, a retired
dry goods merchant, died, leaving an
estate worth about $225, 900. He made
no will, and after his death Bette
Lewis, colored natural daughter, set
up claim for the whole estate.
On his death-bed Thomas gave his
daughter the keys to the box In the
hank vault containing his bonds,
stocks, and other valuable personal
property. Judge Leake decides that
by gift, donatio mortis causa, Bette
Lewis is entitled to all of Mr.. Thomas
estate, except his bank deposits,
amounting to $4,000.
Bottle Lewis was born In Pittsylvania
County, In this State. Her mother
was u slave. During the war Thomas
placed his natural daughter in the
care of his relatives in that county.
She is light mulatto, and could easily
pass for White. Bette Lewis was fol
a long time ignorant of her history,
but Thomas never attempted to con,
ceal the relationship between himself
and his colored offspring. She was
given q liberal education and other
advantages.

NEW YoRR, Jan. 5.--Judge Duryea to-
day granted Mrs. Joseph Watkins
Yard, better known under her maiden
name of Pearl Eytinge, an absolute
divorce from her husband. a
In May 1880, when not long out OF
college, Joseph Watkins Yard, the son
of Edmund Yard, then q wealthy
retired merchant, was married to
Pearl Eytinge In London. He had
been sent abroad to separate him from
her, but she managed to accompany
him on the same steamer. They were
married not long after reaching Lon
don. Within year Yurd began q suit
for absolute divorce. His wife put in
granted. .t
After the divorce Yard studied medi-
cine aud after graduating from the
Bellevue Medical College he became
ono of the assistant surgeons at
Chambers Street Hospital. On tho
evening OF July 2S, 1884, Pearl Eytinge
sent an advertisement TO the papers,
announcing the marriage Of herself
and Dr. lurd, ON January IL, 1854 by
the Rev. Henry Spellmayer, of Jersey
City.
Dr. Yard denied the marriage. Tho
Rev. Henry Spollmayer declared that
he had married DR., Yard and Pearl
Eytlnge when pastor Of the Trinity N.
L. Church, Of Jersey City, at the par
sonage. His mother was the only
witness.
When, on reading the marriage no.
tice, Dr. Yards father called at Cham
ber5 street to see him about II, the
young man was not there, but he left
a note acknowledging the marriage,
but saying that he was not sober when
IL was solemnized. IIo had said the
same thing about tho London mar
riage. He apparently had little or
nothing to do with his wife afterward.

Few dreamed on the first discovery
OF gold In California TINT 1t would ever
take rank as one of the first states In
the Union agrlcultui1lly. But the first
flush OF the stream OF gold from its
mines had hardly subsidized when Il was
found that California seemed specially
designed by Providence for an agricuf-
tural and wheat growing state. Crops
OF wheat SO Immense were threshed by
the great steam machines, which first
came into general use In California,
that In some cases wealthy land owners
put well nigh whole county into one
wheat field.
Then came another discovery. Cali
ornia was admirably adapted to grape
culture. Sweet and luscious grapes,
such as would ripen nowhere else In
the country, came to be speciality OF
California, and her wines are Of such
flavor that, unknown TO themselves,
most gentlemen who at hotels and re-
staurants fancy they are drinking Tgge
Imported champaSnes aid other
! foreign wines, white and red, are
merely paying tribute to tile excellence
OF our native California product. Whnt
next 2 Well, next it was found that no
! part OF the country was so well adap-
ted TO the raising OF fast horses as this
wonderful state. California trotters
and thoroughbreds have won q Ieputa-
tion In racing annals the World over.
Only one thing more seemed left,
and that was the culture of fruit And
for tho season Of lS90-9l California will
have shipped 10000 carloads of fruit.
These consist OF peaches, grapes,
piums, apricots, figs and pears chiefly.
California now promises to supply the
raisin market OF the world. Her grape
growers have found way of curing
raisins by simply drying them by n
natural process, adding nothing to
| them.
Raisins prepared by the California
process are so superior that they have
practically driven the Malaga raisin
out of the market, only $4,000 boxes u
year of the latter now being annually
imported into the United States, where
the supply used to be 25,OoO,OOO. Cali
fornia's own product OF ralsins this
year will be $4,000, 900 pounds.
California ships this year $500 car
loads OF fruit more than last season.
The fruit district Is in the southern
part of the State, and the culture OF
pears, peaches, plums, ETC., for the
Eastern market is SO profitable. that
farmers are preparing to go into il
moIe extensively than ever.
