A SINGULAR ROMANCE.

Escapades of a FOrger's Bride-She Mas
querades as Mrs. Homan.
From developments made in this city yes
terday it is believed that Mrs. Harry Ho-
man, who is claimant for an estate valued
at $4,000. and which, by the rulings of the
French court, is almost within her grasp,
will yet lose the glittering prize. Her
right to the property depends upon whether
she can now refute the charge that she was
not lawfully married to her deceased hus-
band.
Harry Homan, former San Franciscan,
amassed the estate upon which the above
valuation was placed. After the death of
his first wife he married Mrs. f. A. War
ren, who represented herself to be widow.
Subsequently he learned enough of her pre-
vious history to make him wish for a di-
vorce, and he offered her $4,000 year to
permit him to obtain one quietly. This she
would not consent to, and 10 avoid scandal
lie continued to live under the same roof
with her but in separate apartments. A
short time afterward she eloped with an
Italian nobleman, and little later Homan
died.
For years he had been the manager of an
insurance agency in Pars. but on his death
the runaway wife, who was RECOGNIZED as
the widow by the French law, made the
point that HOman was a citizen of Califor-
MIA. The French court sustained her, and
the appeal to the higher court by the chill
dren was also decided in her favor Thus
she had won her case. and, under California
law, almost had one-half the estate in her
hands when she was recognized as the wife
of Austin Bidwell, the great Bank Of Eng
land forger, who. with his brother and a
company of other prison graduates, is
about to make a venture in the theatrical
profession. Ii the fact can be established
that the woman was the wife of Bidwel! at
the time she married Homan then she will
lose all.
A private detective in this city who cap
tured her and her husband after the Bank
of England forgeries has a vivid recollec-
tion of her appearance, and from mis- de-
scription, which tallies in every important
respect with that which comes from France,
there is little doubt but that she is Mrs.
BidwelI and not Mrs Homan

Eoi

Vladimir's Successor Welcomed by the
Faithful.
The new bishop of the Greek Church in
this city arrived yesterday His name is
Nicolas, and he was bishop of Tiflis, the
capital of what was once the kingdom of
Georgia. A large number of the mem bers of
the church assembled to welcome Nicolas,
but they dispersed on receiving a telegram
from him. which was TO the effect that he
wished to arrive without formalities.
The new bishopis finely formed Russian.
He is accompanied by three priests. Upon
their arrival they went TO the church on
Powell street, and kindly informed the
newspaper reporters that they were not
subject TO interviewers. The reporters
speedily discovered that they were speak ing
to servants of the Car of Russia and re-
tired.
The new bishop will endeavor to undo the
evil work done here by Vladimir.
After settling matters here the bishop win
go to Chicago, where the church affairs are
also in bad state. Bishop Vladimir visited
Chicago some time ago and made many
promises to the Greek, Servian and Russian
members of the church. none of which ne
ever fulfilled. When the members of that
church heard of Vladimir's conduct here
they wrote to the Servian Synod, saying
that they wanted no more Russian priests,
but would like to have Servian fill the
place, and their wish was complied with.

A Montgomery Avenue SalooD-K Keeper
Friehtens Burglars Away.
About 2:50 o'clock yesterday morning
Charles Solvin, who keeps saloon at I4lh
Montgomery avenue. closed up his place for
the night and was engaged in washing up
when he heard noises at the door. He was
soon convinced that burglars we're at work,
for a key turned in the latch and he could
hear three distinct voices in muttered con-
versation as the men tried TO pry open the
door.
Solvin, being lame,I dared not give any
alarm, so contented himself with getting
his revolver in readiness. The burglars
finding the door too strong for them,
mounted one another's shoulders and en-
deavored to force an entrance through the
trans0m. Just then the glass in the tran
som fell with crash AID Solvin fired a shot
from his revolver The bullet took effect in
the door-trsme and the fellows took 10 their
heels. The bullet is still imbedded in the
frame, and the marks of the burglars tools
are to he seen on the door itself. The police
did not seem to hear the shot, as Solvin has
not even heard of any officer knowing about
it Or making any inquiries.
