pRINCETON'S CAPTAIN
Has Mysteriousiy Disappeared iro" 'ne
Rome of a washington Ciassmate'


WASHINGTON. ID, c.. January l.--1ne
sudden and mysterious disappearance
OF the Princeton's Foot Ball Team $
captain, Ralph Warren, perplexes the
police and is source OF the greatest
anxiety TO his relatives and friends In
New York and Washington. Ihere Is
probably not a student at Princeton
who is more generally known through
out the country than young warren, on
account OF his prominent connection
with the famous foot ball team.
Mr.. Warren, after q season OF haru
study and severe physical work In the
gymnasium, came To Washington with
his classmate, a son OF George Il. Fraz-
er. who lives at e0l3 Hillyer Place, 10
spend the holidays. Ever since the last
football game in which Princeton par
ticipated Mr.. Warren has suffered from
injuries received on the field.
Young Warren ana his classmate ar
rived In Washington several days ago
and went at once 10 the Frazier resi-
dence. They attended the concert CIV
en- by the Princeton Glee Club Monday
night and went home together early.
At that hour young Warren seemed
perfectly rational. About six o'clock
the next morning the butler noticed
Warren going out without his oyercoat
and remarked To him: lyon hal better
take your overcoat sir, lis cold"
"No," replied Warren. Tim going
FOR short. brisk walk and will return
presently"
The butler noticed that Warren
turned TO the right toward Twenty
first street. which would take him out
OF town. No definite clue has as yet
been obtained. Foul play is feared. but
the suggestion Is also made that the In
jurles received by Mr., Warren In the
foot ball game finally affected his brain,
and that he wandered away somewhat
confused In mind.

YOUNG wIFE's SAD FATE.
She Made n Secret Marriage and Died In
Her stepfatheT's House.

Her otepfhtneTs tonhe
New YORK, January lit was only
after her death from pneumonia that
John Gosse, OF West Hoboken, learned
that Louise Royat, his pretty step
daughter, had been secretly 0
wife for months. She went out for a
walk In June, and was welded 20 Charles
Dormus. Gosse knew Of the young
mans attentions to her, but disap-
proved OF them, and supposed he had
broken the attachment. Once al
ter the wedding, when Dormus
called 70 see her, Gosse met him
at the door and turned him away.
A week ago he learned that she had
been taken seriously Ill. He called
again. Gosse tried to close the door
i'm his face. but he forced his way In and
surprised the sjepfather by demanding
that he be allowed to see his wife" 1t
was the first intimation the man
had OF the wedding, and he refused TO
believe 1t. The young man was dis
posed to insist, but Gosse finally forced
him out OF the door.
When Dormus went TO the house We'd
uesday 70 learn how his young bride
was there was Grape on the door. Then
Dormus knew that the end had come.
He announced that he would at least
attend the funeral. GOsse an
nounced that he should not.
There was likelihood OF an unseen
ly scene over the bier. but friends final
ly persuaded Gosse to allow the young
husband to be present without interfer-
ence.
Dormus was heartbroken when be
gazed for the last time upon the pallid
face OF his sweetheart and saw II shut
from his sight forever.
