ALMA WOODS ELOPEMENT,
Her Father Taking Steps to Annul the Ma

Her Father Taking Steps to Annul the Mar
riage and Prosecute the Groom.
An interesting sequel to the recent elope-
ment Of Vim. II. Mccormack, aged twenty-four,
and Miss Alma ]. Wood. aged sixteen, both of
Hopkinton, Mass, is promised. The irate
father of the girl, Gardner p. Wood. threatens
to institute legal proceedings against the
groom and some of the abettors of the run
away match.
Mr.. Wood is greatly incensed over the stories
circulated concerning his alleged cruelty to
Alma, and says that his desire had been to
make the girls life happy and pleasant one.
He says he will spare no expense in his efforts
to annul the marriage, and that il possible he
will have the persons prosecuted who assisted
in bringing about the ceremony. Mccormack
gave his own age twenty-three and that of
his bride as eighteen when he secured the
license.
The brides wedding toilet was a wrapper and
knitted cap showing that her leave taking of
the paternat mansion was somewhat hurried.
The prospective groom called at the city clerk s
Office in Woonsocket on the day Of the marriage
and attempted to secure marriage license,
but failed to do SO on account OF the tender age
of the prospective bride.

Buildings Crushed and Many Horses an,
Cattle Killed.

Details have been received of a terrific snow
vast amount of damage was done in the town
of Yreka and vicinity. Streets were blockaded.
hundreds of shade trees falling from the weight
of the snow. Buildings began falling and the
fire bells were rung to call out the citizens.
At village known ae Humbug an avalanche
of snow came down on the buildings of the
Spencer quartz mine and swept them off in a
complete wreck, three men asleep at the time
having a very narrow escape from death. The
cook was buried in the debris for about seven
hours. luckily dropping in a jag just below on
the steep mountain side, rolled up in his blanket.
He was rescued without injury. But the men
escaping from the tunnel had to dig their way
through twelve feet of snow and wreckage of
buildings to reach him. Most of the hands
were at work in the mine at the time. All the
| blacksmiths', carpenters and other shops in
Yreka caved in from the weight Of the snow.
The snow storm was accompanied by ter
| rife wind. which bordered on cyclone as is
evidenced by the fact that tops of box cars were
| blown away at the railroad station of Julien.
Trains and mails all through the section have
| been delayed. A number OF men are reported
| as having persisted in the snow, which in many
places was fully fifteen feet deep. The express
driven from Oak Bar arrived at Yreka on horse
back, it being impossible to navigate the road
with any kind Of wheel vehicle or sleigh, owing
| to numerous trees covering the road along the
| river gulch and all the way over Little Hun
| berg divide to Klamath river. For forty eight
hours in Yreka snow shovelers were in great
demand at 81 an hour clearing of roofs and
making paths through the main streets Of the
town. Owing to the heavy snow mining opera
tions have been suspended. The loss throughout
| the towns in northern California will be heavy.
! The Central Pacific railroad on its Oregon
division, will be the heaviest loser by the recent
storm, as all trains have been more or less de-
layed for the past week or more, one passenger
| train being snow bound for sixteen hours. Ne
| attempt has been made to move any great
| quantity of freight Powerful engines and
snow plows, with large gangs Of men. have
| been at work clearing the tunnels and cuts
and trucking snow" Hundreds Of men have
| been thus employed and the railroad company
has been compelled not only to pay the mon
! extravagant wages, but to feed and take good
care Of them. In many sections Of the state
the snowfall has equaled that of two years ago

THE SILENT WOMAN.

to Violate a Confidence.

Rebecca Jones Cannot Be Forced or Bribed
to Violate a Confidence.
Miss Rebecca Jones, who earned the sobri-
quet of 1.-THE silent woman" in the Hammersly
will case of New York. and who, by her refusal
to answer any and all questions, helped to
carry life estate in the millions of Gordon
Hammersly to the widow of his son Louis, now
the Duchess of Marlboro has not changed her
mind. Asked if she intended to persevere in
her refusal to answer if again called to the
stand, now that the case had been reopened on
the petition Of John Mason, she said:
II toldIawyer Bartlett then would stay in
Ludlow street Jail until the day of resurrection
before l would answer a single question Of
what / had learned in the twenty years that I
was a confidential servant in the family of Cor
don Hammersly, and 1t is not to be expected
that could or would do so now when an inter-
lopez is trying to get that fortune. John Ma
son Is a nephew OF Mrs Gordon Hammersly,
and think in no manner an heir to the estate
left by Louis Hammersly father. l was then
offered $50, COO cash in hand if would answer
four questions. but acted on principle not to
divulge what had learned in confidence and
was unjusty imprisoned forty-five weeks for
contempt OF court. No, never will answer a
question
Mrs DENIM. the nurse, testified falsely
when she said that immediately after old Mr..
Hammersly's death took his will from the
desk and gave it to his brother John. never
had his will in my hands. The last time that
he at his desk he placed his will in a
drawer, locked the desk, placed the key in an
envelope and said to me. Becky, when am
gone give that to my brother john did SO.
No, it Is not true that the Duchess of MARI
borough purchased my silence. She never
gave me so much as I could hold on my thumb
nail. 1t is true that the Duke and Duchess of
Marlborough invited me to come to Blenheim
Castle when they called on me here last year. But
l have crossed the Atlantic four times, and
don't intend to do it again until it is bridged.

The Dissatisfaction in Puebla, Mexico.

In Puebla. Mexico, a revolution has been
avoided only by the general government break
ing down after arresting the priests in two of
the monasteries IN Puebla, which is the most
Catholic and religious state in this republic. 1t
is stated that it was the intention of the gov
eminent to arrest all the priests, and if the
people rose to shoot them down. but Bishop
Morally very prudcntly preached by himself,
and through his subordinates avoided what
seemed to be trap set for him. A prominent
government official says the affair was a sad
mistake and that the government was not to
blame, and that the state authorities did not
know how to carry out the orders given. This
has given rise to the opinion that the whole
thing was plan to Gust Gov. Marques, who is
. moderate ruler.

He ran back from his train. as directed by Con-
ductor Wilkins. with torpedoes and a red and a
white lamp. He placed the torpedoes on the
track and they were exploded by the St. Louis
express. The crew OF the ST. Louis express say
they did not hear the explosions. We have al
fdavits from six residents of Hastings who
were the track when the train rushed by
and who did hear them. All the engineers (three)
examined at the inquest testified that If when
passing a station they saw a red lamp on the
platform they would stop. 1t was proved be-
yond n doubt that Herrick left his red lamp on
the platform at Hastings when he went inside
to hight his cigar. James Donohoe the en-
glneer OF the ST. Louis express. swore that he
saw no red lamp Ho also swore that when it
