BETRAYED BY A scoUNDREL.
How o Canadian Girls Romance Was
RudeIy Shattered.

BUFFALO, n. ", May 24.-The friends
of Miss Bertha Flenner, of st. GATHERINGS,
Ont, who assembled here Friday night to
attend her marriage to J. Perry Bowen,
took a heart broken girl back to Canada,
for the bridegroom deserted her at the last
hour.
]. Perry Bowen, protesting to be lit
erary man of wealth and family, arrived in
Buffalo three weeks ago, and engaged
apartments at fashionable boarding
house. Miss Flenner was an occupant of
the same house. Within two weeks she
dismissed the young man to whom she
was engaged for two years and became en-
gagged to Bowen. He was a handsome,
well-dressed man. forty-two years old, but
seemingly younger, fluent talker and ap-
parently familiar with most of the cities of
the world. He represented himself as an
Englishman whose family was living at
Eighth and C-sts., Washington, and the
frequency with which he received letters
and kilograms from Washington seemed
to bear out his assertion.
According to his story his father had
bequeathed him q fortune of $4,000 SO
invested as to produce a large revenue.
Beside his elegant house in Washington
he tlhDOIdbcl1 0CSCAADCQ nOucC IA -.
Augustine, Fla, where he proposed to
take his bride.
In one of the letters which he received
from his mother she urged shim not to
divulge the desthbed secret of his father.
He explained this by saying that there
was a family secret connected with the
possession of the estate which each heir
in turn was compelled to swear never to
make known. Bowen said his sister,
Agnes Bowen, had an important position
in the pension department. While here
Bowen devoted himself to writing q novel,
the manuscript OF which he left behind
him.
On Wednesday, Bowen and his fancee
took apartments at the Tiff house, and
the Rev. Henry A. Adams was engaged to
perform the marriage ceremony. At the
last moment il was postponed, Bowen an
nouncing that it must be deferred until
his mother and sister, who were accom-
panied by a distinguished party from
Washington, could arrive. That night
Bowen disappeared, and then it wss found
that he had borrowed money and con-
tracted debts everywhere. Miss Flenner's
trunks were seized for the hotel bill and
Friday night her relatives took her back
to Canada.

what he thought of the third party move

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, May 25.-About s
o'clock last night man with shotgun in
his hands walked up in front of two col
ored men who were sitting on Crozier-st.
When within a few PAGES OF them he
elevated the gun and fired two shots. One
took effect in the abdomen of the older
and the other in the upper arm, side and
face of the younger one. The man then
ran out Crozier st. and down the avenue
about mile. He was then seen to lie
down. The large crowd which had fol-
lowed him at a respectful distance
reached within 800 yards of him when
he sprang up and darted into the pine
thickets.
He was next heard of two miles to the
westward. Mr.. Fred L. Carpenter, son of
one of the leading citizens of Knoxville,
was driving toward his fathers country
home and when within short distance of
it, he noticed a man running toward him,
calling him to q halt. A short colloquy
followed in which the unknown man de-
manded Carpenters money and jewelry.
When these were refused him, he leveled
shot gun which he had kept behind him,
and fred. The evening was chilly and
Carpenter had his coat collar turned up,
which probably saved his life. The left
side of his face was filed with shot. The
second load struck the top of the buggy.
Carpenters wounds are considered very
dangerous.
A large posse is now seeking the villain.
The man held up two others before he
reached Carpenter. from one of when he

day the chief and all his big warriors

An Africans Impression Of Germany.

Goldthwait's Geographical Magazine,
commenting on the custom of European
nations of taking delegations of native
Africans to Europe that they might
carry home grand impressions OF the
grandeur and power of their rulers, says
ithat the most amusing of these
delegations was one taken to Germany
from the dominions of King Mandara,
who lords it in the southern slopes of
Mount Kilima- Marc. They saw nothing
in Berlin that they thought half so good
as their own country, and were con-
stantly drawing comparisons between
Emperor William and their own
sovereign anything but mplimentary
to the German ruler. When they saw
the Emperor at the head of large
detachment of his army, they said that,
though Mandara could not show SO
many soldiers, yet he had far more
cattle than Emperor William. The
presents that the Emperor made them
they received with contempt, and said
that their King could make his people
and visitors much more valuable gifts.
All this is extremely characteristic of
the negro. The pride of blood is 7ery

! The czarbf Russia is the richest SOW

Globe Denocrat, and one Of the richest
men in the world. The income of the
imperial fcmily of Russia is derived from
the crown land, which are regarded
as the cars private estate and treated
as such. They comprise over 1000, 900
square miles, about one-third of the
area of the United States, and include
farms, pasture or grazing-land and
forests, while hundreds of villages are
built on them, the inhabitants of which
pay theirrent to the car. Many gold :,
silver and other mines are included in
the crown property, and the output of
these is believed to be very large. There
are 10 means of ascertaining the exact
income of the ear, since the imperial
accounts are not more open to the pub
lie than the hooks ST a private indivi-
dual, but it is estimated by Russians in
official position at e., 900 a year,
about S12, 25O 900. Of this enormous
sum portion is devoted to the main

and theatres, but the larger part is swal-

expenses Of the imperial family.
