severe storm known ragged over the greater
portion of the state yesterday. Railway

they made very little Roadway. Several
trains were caught between stations,
among them being the Missouri Pacific
pay train. The company managed TO keep
those on board supplied with food. but If
the storm should last much longer they
will be in serious predicament. Reports
from all directions indicate great suffering
of live STOCK from lack of food and water
Neosho river, which began rising Tuesday,
is out OF the banks in many places and
higher than it has been in many years. On
the central branch of the Missouri Pacific
q great many poor people are reported suf-
fering for lack of fuel and food.

A STRONG GIRL
Economically Marries a Good
for-Nothing Gambler,
Who Abuses Her with Tongue, and Their
Shoots at Her-NoM She is Suing
for Divorce.

Especial to THE HERALp-Examiner Dispatch
CHICAGO, March 26.-The secret OF what
was a sensational elopement at the time was
disclosed to-day in bill for divorce filed
by Cora Bell Smith against Tolten T.
Smith. The complainant Is but seventeen
years of age and she tells peculiar story
of wild western wedding. March 10, one
short year ago, Mrs. Smith, then Miss Cora
Bell, young Peoria girl and somewhat
noted society belle of that town, while
visiting the Pacific coast met Smith at one
OF the winter resorts in southern Califor-
MIA. Smith, the young wife says, was q
notorious gambler and a wicked and des-
perats man, but Notwithstanding these
drawbacks the young girl took a strange
fancy to the man and On March 10, 1890,
he proposed marriage and she promptly
accepted. Smith, however, had to contend
with the girl parents and the law of Cali
fornia, which is against the marriage of
minors and to surmount the obstacles in
| his path he made the unique suggestion
| that they procure tug and get out into
the blue ocean, far away from the jurisdic-
| ton of the state and there be married
The girl accepted this proposition also and
several hours later tug steamed out of the
harbor, carrying Miss Bell, her lover and
a clergyman, together with several wit
nesses and on the rolling waves the two
were made man and wife. The romance
soon ended, The girl-wife says she soon
discovered Smiths character as gambler
and good-for-n nothing. They wandered
about the Pacific coast but only four
months after the strange wedding the wife
says her husband began to abuse her and
use the most violent language toward her
and his Ill treatment reached such a point
that she was compelled to flee from him
He followed her to Green River city, il
Wyoming, where he tried to kill her by
shooting at her, but she escaped and came
to Chicago, where she now resides with he,

TO DIVIDE EUROPE
A Plan the Bismarck Once Pro-
posed to France.
THE MEMOIRS OF TALIEYRAND
Are Genuine, Says De BrOglie-Prince Louis
Napoleon Not Pretender-C Form
ally Decorated by Russia.

PARIS, March 26.-The Marquis de Vii
leneuve has sent to Figaro report of an
interview which he says took place in 1866,
between the late Prince Napoleon and
Prince Bismarck, which that paper pub
lished to-day. In this interview it is as
serted Bismarck proposed to close an al
lance, offensive and defensive, between
Prussia and France, which would make
these two powers the dominating influence
in Europe. The combined powers,
according 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 France
should make Belgium part Of her empire.
Then the great allies should undertake to
weaken the power of Great Britain by de
priving her Of her colonies, and should en-
deavor to reduce Italy, Spain and the
Scandinavian countries to the role of
satellites to themselves. This brilliant
proposition, the Marquis de Villeneuve
says, was laid before Emperor Napoleon
III by Prince Napoleon; but the Emperor
refused even to discuss it.

A CREEKS STORY.
Alcide Vadoro, After Squander-
ing a Large Fortune
In Dissipation in Europe, Ships for America,
where He Lands Without Penny
He Applies for Work.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch.
NEW YORK, March 26.-Alcide yadoro, a
young Greek, came to Mr.. Conley of the
barge Office labor bureau yesterday morn
ing and applied for work. He was steer
age passenger on the Aurania, which ar
rived here Tuesday. He said he would
gladly accept any work he could get, for he
was reduced to his last penny. Four years
ago this same young man was possessor of
e425, 500 in his own right. He told the
story of his life in a very straight toward
way and there is no reason to doubt IL Is
strictly true. He was born twenty three
years ago at Mausorah, near Alexandria,
Egypt. His parents were Greek and his
| father was one of the civil engineers en-
! gagged in the construction of the SueZ canal.
He amassed an immense fortune, and upon
! his death he left it in equal shares to his
widow and his two sons His widow died
| III 1855 and the Oldest son a year or two
| later. This left the entire fortune to AL
! eide. AS soon as ne obtained his majority
| he converted the greater part of his in
| heritance into ready money and came tC
Europe to see the sights. Thirty-oEe thou
sand pounds he invested in the
yacht Victoria. He came 10 England
and went in rather heavy for racing. He
bought the race horse Vasista and dropped
$4,000 on her at Chester in single day
Then in disgust he went to Paris and bel
heavily upon F'itzroy. F'itzroy was having
a run of bad luck Just then, and before be
got through with the horse Alcide los
sc. 000 francs. The greater part of the re-
mainder of his fortune was invested il
cotton. and at about this time there cam,
the great failure of Steinshraano, in which
he was such d heavy loser that he had q
sell all bis estate in Alexandria, including
his fathers house. This brought him il
about $4,000. He returned to England
and before six months had passed tn
whole amount had been frittered away
Then in utter disgust he shipped for Ameri
ca with barely enough money in his poke
to pay his fare. That is substantially tn
young mans story. Now he says he want
to set to work in earnest and make an hon
est living and name for himself out here il
this new land.
