LOVES YOUNG DREAM AGAIN ORR.
A Girl Who Wouldn't Be Dared to MARI
Now Wishes She Hadn't.

Now Wishes She Hadn't.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 23.-[Special. IA secret
marriage with tinge of romance was di-
vulged in Judge Withrow's court to-
day in connection with the divorce
case of Sara G. Darrow versus Constance
G. Darrow, which has been taken
under advisement by the court. The
plaintiff, bright and accomplished young
woman about 10 years old, was accom-
panied by her father, Saleme Caskel,
York. She stated that February 16, 1889,
she then being 16 years old, she was
married to the defendant at Lock-
port, Niagara County, New York, in the
Episcopal Church. The marriage was Sc
cret one and she did not diyulge it to her
parents. She returned to the home of her
parents, and in September. 1889, her hus-
band left her and came to Missouri, locating
in Buchanan county, where she supposed he
now resides His excuse for leaving her
was that he was studying law, and as it took
him three years to complete law course in
New York, he was going West
She had heard of him but once since,
when he wrote her last January that he
hated her and never wanted to see her face
again. He had never contributed anything
toward her support, was high tempered, got
drunk, and once knocked her down. The
marriage was brought about in spirit of
bravado One evening he dared her to
marry him, She accepted the challenge, and
the two called upon an Episcopal minister,
who performed the ceremony. The matter
was kept quiet, and the father never knew
anything about it until Darrow left, when
the minister who had performed the cere-
mony notified him..

Failure of Adolph Heller IN Philadelphia
Widow Who CouIdn't Garry on q Big
Business Successfully-She Is Now Pros
trated by tho Blow.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 23.-[Special J.
Business circles were startled about noon
to-day by the announcement of the failure
of Adolph Heller, at Eighth and Arch
streets, With the single exception Of
Marks Brothers, Heller was the largest re-
tail dealer in millinery and fancy goods in
Philadelphia
Adolph Heller died several years ago,
and the business was carried on under his
name by his widow. His store was one of
the largest and handsomest retail establish
ments in the city, and did great and ap-
parently prosperous business. The amount
of the liabilities is not stated, but they are
undoubtedly very heavy. Many thousand
dollars are owing to the newspapers for ad-
vertising, and it is said the debts to i'm
porters in New York are very heavy.
On Monday last Mrs. Heller gave judg-
ment notes aggregating $64, 552 20, payable
one day after date, as follows: For $780,
780 90, confessed in favor of j. Alfred
Smith, trustee in favor of Dryfuss, Kohn &
Co, Kaufman Bros & Co., /. S. Erdman &
Co., J. r. Simon & Co., the United States
Banking Company and number of others;
for S19,527 So, in favor of Phillips &
Meyer; $1,000 in favor of Julius Sichel;
Sd, 600 in favor of A. l.. Friedlander & Co. !;
81, 244 90 in favor of Wertheimer & Co.,
and $1,000 in favor of Jacob Phillips.
These judgments were entered up in court
to-day, and execution issued.
1t is reported that Mrs. Heller is pros
trated by the failure. She is at her home, but
could not be seen to-day, and her son who
was at the store said he was not authorized
to speak for her, and declined to say any
thing

"You are killing my wife and child, and

There was no time to parley or to-give
way to fear. The doctors finished the
operation with the gun pointed at them.

was able to speak to her husband would he
consent to put away the gun. DR.. Hess
told the story to-day, in TIE Lee Avenue

his services. He got Judgment for $75,

mitted the truth of the story. He said he
was crazed with fear for his wife and did

The Unwilling Bridegroom Abducted and

BALTIMoRE, Dec 23.-Divorce proceed
ings out of the usual line were instituted in
the Circuit Court to-day by Andrew j.
Bowers. He asks the Court to annul mar
riage ceremony performed between him and
Emma A. Bigelow, on the ground that at that
time he was already married. He claims in
his bill of complaint that he had to marry
Miss Bigelow or be murdered, and that the
fact that he had wife at the time was
known to Miss Bigelow and her family.
The bill alleges that on Tuesday last,
while standing at Calvert and Lombard
streets, Mr.. Bowers was approached by the
father and brother of Miss Bigelow, who
compelled him at the point of pistol to
enter carriage with them. They were
driven to the house of the Bigelows, it is
charged, where Mr.. Bowers was placed in a
room. The elder Bigelow kept guard with
a pistol, it is claimed, while his son pro-
cured marriage license for Mr.. Bowers
and Miss Bigelow, and minister to per-
form the ceremony.

tendencies and has been especially devoted
to Mr. Dalzell 1t supported him in his
campaign for the League presidency, and
the delegates from the club voted for HIM.
He has been the honored guest of the club
on several occasions. OF course the men,

active part in the Senatorial campaign, but
as matter of fact they are opposed to
Quay and favorable to Dalzell.

Mr.. Dalzell arrived in the city tonight,
and proceeded to the Lafayette, where he
met q number of friends with whom he
talked long and earnestly on the Senatorial
question. He was congratulated on two

SAN Francisco, Dec. 23-Correspon-
dence from Santiago, Chile, under date of
November 21, says the feeling against the
Americans is so strong that ever since the
Congressional party came into power the
majority of the people are disposed to re-
gard the killing of few American sailors
as very trifiing affair, and express much
surprise that the United States should have
taken official notice of the matter.
Reports of the Intendente of Valparaiso
says 2, 900 men were engaged in this sail
ors' fight" He gave this figure to show
the police were powerless to quell the dis
turbance. As matter of fact, there was
not anywhere near half that number, and
the police found ample opportunity to stop
the trouble. For some time following the
attack there was strong feeling among the
crew of the Baltimore, and the men would
have liked to send another party ashore bet
ter equipped for fracas. OF the 36 Ameri-
can sailors arrested at the time of the fight,
not one had q weapon more formidable than
a sailors jacknife
President Montt has given no special in
dication of any sympathy with the general
ill-feeling in Chile against the United
States. In recent interview he expressed
q hope that all difficulties would be settled
amicably. as he did not believe the people
of either nation desired trouble. He also
expressed disapproyal of accusations and
insinuations made against the American
Minister by certain Chileans in the United

Government.
Chilean dispatches to London say that
the entire Chilean Cabinet will resign
