w. c. Lincoln Discovers the Man Who
Wrecked His Home


New YORK, March 26. = After eight
years. of fruitless searching, which took
him into many States and cost him a
handsome fortune, William c. Lincoln,
once prosperous member of the Chicago
Board of Trade, has at last succeeded, as
he claims, in running down the betrayer
of his young and handsome wife and
the destroyer of his home and happiness.
He says the villain is prominent and
wealthy merchant of New York, with
palatial home in the Great Neck, where
he resides with his family, one of whom
is a beautiful daughter, recently married.
VIM. G. Lincoln arrived in the city
about five weeks ago. He put up at the
Coleman House, the proprietor of which,
Pearson, was an old friend and comrade
of his out in San Francisco fifteen or
twenty years ago.

in true Western style, at the point of a
deadly siX-Shooter, and it is said he went
SO far as to make an attempt to do so, but
was prevented by cooler heads, who con-
WINGED him that that kind of justice was
decidedly questionable here.
According to the story told by Lincoln.
he went from San Francisco to Chicago
about fifteen years ago. In San Fran
cisco he was prosperous business man.
and amassed quite fortune In Chicago
Mr.. Lincoln went into the brokerage
business, and was prominent on the
Board of Trade. He lived in fine style.
He married beautiful young girl, the
daughter ola prominent Chicago family.
She had been in convent school, and was
unfamiliar with society when he made her
his wife, at the age of 19. He was more
than twice her age. They had two chill
dren. In 1850, in the time of the Masonic
Conclave, the wife met friend of his.
and when she returned home one even
ing she was in a state of maudlin intoxi-
cation. She denied any improper rela-
tions, but the result was divorce. Since
then Lincoln has been searching for the
guilty man, and it is said is now nearly
ready to bring an action at law.

How Bismarck and Prince Napoleon
Proposed to Control Europe.
PARIS, March 26.-Marquis de Ville-
neuve has sent the Figaro report of an
interview which he says took place in
1866 between the late Prince Napoleon
and Prince Bismarck, which that paper
published to-day
In this interview it is asserted that
Bismarck proposed a close alliance. of
fensive and defensive, between Prussia
and France, which would make these two
Powers the dominating influence in
Europe. The combined powers, accord
ing to Prince Bismarck's plan, should
proceed against Russia to drive the Slavs
back TO the steppes from which they
came. Prussia should absorb the whole
of Germany, and Franco should make
Belgium part of her empire. Then the
great allies should undertake to weaken
the power of Great Britain by depriving
her Of her colonies, and should endeayor
TO reduce Italy, Spain and the Scandi-
navian countries TO the role of satellites to
themselves.
This brilliant proposition, Marquis De
Nileneuve says, was laid before Emperor
Napoleon III. by Prince Napoleon, but
the Emperor refused even to discuss it.
