A MYSTERIOUS STORY.

a Chicago Society Woman Alleged to Be
Confined in Pittsburg Cell-The Re
suit of Nn Investiyarion-A Couple Out
on Bail.
A dramatic society story has been current
for several days, in which the wife of a
prominent Chicago business man and a
Pittsburg man of family, business and
church standing are the leading characters.
The story as told is that the Chicago lady,
who is pictured as young. refined and beauti-
full, resented her dashing husbands devotion
to pleasurahle pursuits in which she was
not included, dating from few weeks after
their marriage, and after vainly endeavor-
ing to persuade him to devote his attention
exclusively to her left him. She had money
of her own, and determined to make more
of it in grain speculation, but her invest
ments proved disastrous, and she was soon
penniless. She then became a typewriter in
the office OF a wealthy speculator, a married
man, and eventually became quite intimate
with him. Later she returned to specula-
tion herself, and embezzled several hun
dreds of her employers money.
She became frightened when unable to
return the money and left the city, coming
to Pittsburg, where she formed the acquaint-
ance of the business man referred to above
"
time at Il leading hotel and subsequently
took her to furnished rooms in Allegheny.
Her Chicago employer was not disposed
under the circumstances to pursue her, but
his wife knowing of the relations that had
existed between her husband and his
typewriter, as we'll as the reason
of her leaving, determined to revenge
herself by running the woman down.
As the story goes she arrived few days ago,
entered 2 suit for embeZzIement and the
frall typewriter was arrested and placed in
one of the city prisons. Which one was not
mentioned, but her admirer was said to be
daily visitor to her. An effort was made to
verify the story. At the Jail, the only place
where prisoner under such circumstances
could properly be kept for several days,
man and woman who answered the descrip-
tion of those in the story had been released
early in the evening. They had been COM
mitted the previous day by Magistrate
Gripp on charge o. improper intimacy.
She gave her name at the Jail as Mrs. Nc
Farland, but on the com mitment it ap-
peared as Mrs. Frank Web er, alias McAfee.
His name on the commitments was r. II.
McFeeley. They claimed, however, to be
man and wife, and she told the matron she
had babe months old. She cried almost
continually while in the Jail. They were
taken out for hearing last night, but the
case was continued until this evening, the
couple securing bail for their appearance
and departing together. Warden McAleese
was positive that no other person answer
ing the description had been in the Jail for
two weeks.

A SUCCESSFUL SESSION.
The Crockery and Glassware Jobbers' Asso-
citation Winds Up Its Business.

The Crockery and Glassware Jobbers' Asso-
citation Winds Up Its Business.
The final session of the National Associa-
tion of Crockery and Glassware Jobbers
was held at the Monongahela House yes
terday. President Pitken said that the en-
tire convention was the most satisfactory
ever held by the association. There was
an evident expression of good feeling on
the part of the manufacturers toward the
jobbers, many of them showing desire to
agree to the request of the association to
cease selling direct to the trade. The asso-
citation is In fourishing condition. Over
la dozen new members were added during
the present session. The selection of a Sec
retary has not yet been made. 1t is intend
ed to make it a permanent office at suffi-
cfent salary to enable the person selected to
give his entire time to the interests OF the
organization at the headquarters in Chicago.
The next session will be held in New York
next July, when an effort will be made to in
terest the jobberS in the association, which
is rathor weak in that section. The annual
session will again be held in Pittsburg next
year. The convention adj ourned sine die at
$50 o'clock in order to enable the members
to prepare for the banquet.
At O'Clock the members of the associa-
tion, as guests of the American Association
of Flint and Lime Glass Manufacturers, as
sembled in the banquet hall and discussed
the elegant menu prepared for them. Guen-
theirs Orchestra furnished the music. D. C.

Tho Shipment OF

Fifty cases of "Holmes' Best" and 25 bar
rels of 1886 Holmes Millsboro pure rye
whisky during the month of January to
London, England, by the VIM. H. Holmes
Co. is an excellent illustration of the fame
and popularity acquired by our Mononga-
hela Valley pure rye whiskIes In prepar-
ing the Holmes Best for shipments of this
kind every case is carefully packed by an
ingenious packer patented by Mr.. Holmes
some years since and used exclusively by
this house. Since using this packer,
in the past five years, not sim
gle bottle has been broken. Another
precaution in long distance shipments used
by this firm only, is securely fastening each
corner of the box by steel clamps and affix-
ing iron handles to each end of the case,
thereby making the same easy to handle
and thus greatly helping to assure safe de-
livery of same at destination. Holmes
Best is too valuable whisky to take any
chances on for breakage, therefore all these
precautions are taken and the value of these
precautionary measures are shown daily in
the large shipments of "Holmes' Best" all
over the country, from Maine to California.

MAY RESULT FATALLY.

East End Young Men Run Down by .
dents Which Occurred Yesterday
Tramp'ed by Horses.
OF the three accidents reported yesterday
probably two of the injured persons will
die. Two prominent Eastenders were run

entrance n car on the Duquesne Traction
line overlook them They drove their horse
OFF the track and let the car pass, and were
just driving back on the east-bound track
when car No. Al, which was following the
other car very close, struck their buggy at
full speed. The young men were thrown ten
feet in the air, and the buggy was torn from
the horse and scattered in kindling wood
along the street.
The young men were picked up and taken
TO the office of DR.. Daggette on Craig street.
Hays WIS unconscious. No bones were
found to be broken, but he was suffering
from internal injuries and scalp wound.
McNulty escaped with several bad cuts
about the face and his body was bruised.
They were both removed to their homes on
Center avenue. Late last night Dr. Ches-
rown said Hays condition was very critical
and his recovery was doubtful. The horse
escaped uninjured. No arrests were made.
RIGGLEMAN-George Riggleman, driver OF
No. patrol wagon. who was seriously hurt
by being trampled on by the horses attached
to the wagon yesterday morning, was in
critical condition last night. At no time
since he was taken from under the horses
feet has he regained consciousness. His
skull is crushed and two ribs are broken.
But little hope is entertained for his re-
covery.

295 Forbes street, fell on Milten berger street
yesterday morning and broke his right
arm.

Sisters Together in Death.

Two maiden ladies, sisters, Lavina and
Margaret Jones, were buried from st. Luke's
Episcopal Church, at Bridgeville, two weeks
ago, and their lives and death have oc-
casioned considerable comment in that
neighborhood. Both were taken sick with
the grip about the same time and lay in two
beds not far apart. Margaret expired, ana
Iavtna, from her couch, observed All nm
usual appearance among those in attend
auce, and asked if Margaret were dead. On
being told that she was LaYina was greatly
moved, and turning in bed expired in two
or three minutes after hearing of her sisters
death. 1t seemed as though the shock of
parting with her companion after 20 years
OF slsterly intimacy snapped the vital cord.

When it becomes necessary to employ an

to sustain the tagging powers of life in
disease, know of no better one than Max
Klein's Silver Age. I have examined it

mend it as being reliably and carefully dis
