A MISSING BRIDE.
The Bridegroom Disappears Next aud
Portland Creditors Mourn.


PORTLAND, Feb. 12.-ESpecial. II Edward
Arnheim, young Hebrew just from New
York, has created great sensation here
by his very erratic conduct. He is the
only son of E. Arnheim, a very wealthy
aristocratic retired merchant in New
York. Young Arnheim arrived from San
Francisco few days ago. He registered
at three or four hotels, but did not
stop at any. He told number
of people he was to be married
to a very wealthy and accomplished young
lady of San Francisco. who came on the
train to Portland with him. The young
woman arrived here, but has since disap-
peared and all traces of her have been lost.
The most diligent search has failed to dis
cover even her name.
Arheim made arrangements to have an
elegant supper served at fashionable
hotel for party of ten. He also engaged
two ministers to perform the marriage
ceremony. He fixed the hour for his mar
riage, but neither he nor his bride ap-
peared. He also ordered several fine suits
of clothes, but never called for them. He
has told all sorts Of contradictory stories
about himself and the proposed marriage.
Several young women came with the
intended bride, but they have also van
ished. Young Alnheim has disappeared,
too, and cannot be found. He ordered
several hundred dollars worth of elegant
flowers as present to his intended bride,
and the florist is now mourning over the
unpaid bill.
The general opinion is that Arnheim is
either crazy or drunk. The whole pro-
ceeding is surrounded with mystery.

RIOTS AT NEwARK.
Clark's Thread Mills Have Their Win
dows Shattered by Angry workmen.

NEWARK, N. j., Feb. 12-There was riot
ing and bloodshed at Clark's thread mills
this evening. When non-union spinners
quit work they were carried over the
river, and when they landed on the Kear-
ney side they were met by throng of 1000
men, women and children. A boy threw
a rock and the special police attempted to
rush into the crowd. Chief TurnbulI, of
the Kearney police, ordered the specials
back and they retired. Immediately after
woman threw another stone, and the
specials then rushed upon the crowd,
hourishing revolvers and shooting in the
air. The crowd surged back. but flung a
shower of stones, which crashed through
the mill windows. Yelling and window
breaking were kept up until the tumult
attracted hundreds of people from Newark.
For half mile along the river front there
was stretched mass of humanity, men
inside the mill played line of hose out
and wet the crowd. This made the rioters
more angry and the window smashing
went on Several girls were crushed and
one badly clubbed. Willie Richmond,
aged Q, was shot through the foot by a spe-
cial officer. With the darkness the crowd
dispersed. There is scarcely one whole
window in the mill. 1t is thought there
will be a worse riot tomorrow, and the
probabilities are the militia will be called
out

Chiefs of worlds Fair Bureaus.

CHICAGO, Feb. Pit is understood to-
night that Director General Davis has de-
cided upon his nominees for chiefs of the
bureaus of horticulture and mining. The
names will not be made public
officially until after confirmation by
the directory. The horticultural chief, it is
believed, will not be from California. J. j..
REYNOLDS is considered strong probabil-
ity for the appointment, and DIR. w. Ray
mond. of the School of Mines, in New
York, is not unlikely for chief of the min
ing bureau. According TO the Nesrs, Gem
missioner Skiff. of Colorado, would prob
ably have been the man had il not been for
the opposition of ex-senator Tabor.

On Friday, Oct 23d, three nota

this city: The State Central Com
mittee, the Press Association and
