Iionaire, Lucky" Baldwin, had eloped

but a very few intimate friends know.
They took their departure this
morning, and it is presumed that they
went north on their honeymoon, for they
are married, having been Joined together
in the cabin of the tug Elizabeth, five
miles outside the heads, on the morning of
January 5. Five years ago G. W. Baldwin,
then young man of about 20 years, came
to this city from Charlottesville, Md. His
father, an uncle of Lucky" Baldwin, of
this city, had consigned the youth to the
care of the Baldwin hotel. and
George was given employment in the Office
OF the hotel. Two years ago, it is stated,
the fact dawned upon the millionaire that
the affection that bound George and Anita
was more than that which generally tied
his mind to keep them separ-
to Mills seminary. They often
met, however, and early in 1891 George
proposed marriage and was accepted by
Anita. The latter knew her father would
never consent to the marriage, but the
prospective loss of her inheritance did not
trouble her. Affairs reached a climax last
Christmas eve, when George Baldwin left
his employment at the hotel.
Anita was II years of age. and q mar
riage license could not be procured, SO that
it was agreed that the ceremony should
take place out far enough from shore to
prevent the interference of the law,
and George Baldwin engaged the
tug Elizabeth for the morning of
January 5. Millionaire Baldwin was not
in town at the time. Rev. Julius
Fuendeli, of st. Marks German Evangeli-
cal Lutheran church, performed the
ceremony. The secret of the we'd
ding has been well kept, and
1t would not yet have been known
had not the husband and wife become
tired of living apart. After the wedding
Anita hoped to gain her fathers
consent to prospective marriage
with her cousin. She spoke in
her own behalf and wrote long and affec-
tionate letters. pleading her cause but
the millionaire remained obdurate,
and when, last Thursday, he
started to go to his ranch
at Santa Anita, the young couple resolved
to elope and allow the secret of the mar
riage to become public. Friday and Satur-
day was spent in making arrangements
for the trip north. Yesterday Mrs. Bald
win wrote a letter to her father, in
which she made a confession and implored
forgiveness for herself and husband. The
missive was mailed in the afternoon and
will be received by the millionaire at Santa
Anita tomorrow morning.

CAN'T BEAT HARRISON
The Leaders of the Opposition
Rapidly Losing Hope.
TOM PLATT STILL HOLDS OUT.
Tho Administration Successful in State
Conventions Thus Far-Mills Sure
of the Texas Senatorship.

WASHINGTON CITY, March 21.-[Special.l
The combination that certain Republic
can United States senators effected few
weeks ago. which had for its purpose the
defeat Of President Harrison for renomi-
nation, appears to be losing ground.
Within the past few days it has become
apparent to them that il would be almost
impossible to organize anything like
good fighting combination at the national
convention. The president seems TO have
gained ground so rapidly since the differ
ent states began to elect delegates that
the leaders Of the opposition are
looking disheartened. One of the most
prominent men in this movement, who is
a United States senator from the West,
said to the PosT-INTELLIGENcER CORE
spondent today that there was no doubt
of the nomination of the president; that
the only man who ever stood any show
of securing the prize from Harrison was
Secretary Blaine, and the withdrawal of
the latter and his continued ill-health
took him out of the list of possibilities
altogether.
He went on to say that the president
had proved himself to be a very shrewd
politician in managing the administration
machinery so as to gather in the delegates
from nearly all the states that had met in
convention up to this time. He had an
idea that there would be some show of OPP
position to Mr.. Harrison up to the time
the convention met, and perhaps the pro-
ceedings would show that not ell the dele
gates were enthusiastic in again nominal
ing him for the head of the Republican
ticket. He believed, however, that the
opposition to him would be compelled in
the interest of the party. to swing into
line, and that his nomination would be
made with some show of unanimlty.
Ex-senator Tom Platt, of New York, is
the only man who Yields any great
strength that has not shown any indica-
tons of coming into the Harrison fold.
Just how long he will stand out is ques-
ton that only the future can decide. A
good many predictions are made today
that Mr.. Platt will yet find it impolitic to
tarry and manipulate the Empire state
convention in the interest of any candi-
date in opposition to Harrison. It is not
thought possible, however. that he will
ever agree to have New York's seventy-two
delegates instructed to vote in body for
Harrison in the Minneapolis convention.

THE ROWDY FIGHTERS,
Corbett and Mitchell Collide in . Ne
York Darkroom.

York Darkroom.
New York, March 2l.-Charley Mitchell
ran across James Corbett in a downtown
barroom this evening and made an abusive
remark that induced Corbett to inti-
mate that Mitchell was not behav-
ing as gentleman should. This
angered Charley, who INDUCED in much
foul language, and a wordy war ensued
Mitchell wanted to fight right there but
Corbett said he was not in the habit of
fighting in bar-rooms; he would sign arti-
cles and fight in the ring. After much
wind a policeman cleared everybody out.
Before the Corbett row Mitchell and Slavin
had scrap over game of pool in the
Hoffman house. Slavin accused Mitchell
of cheating, and a vast amount of dirty
language was exchanged. They were on
the point of coming to blows when Billy
Edwards separated them, and in the mean
time they made up and started to find
Corbett.

KINGSTON. N. Y, Sept. 13.-There was a

day morning when the court opened.
Among those present were E. j. Meegan,
Judge Countryman, and ex-senator Chase.
BY reason of refusal to comply with the
demand of Democratic leaders, Labor
Commissioner Peck had been summoned
to show cause why peremptory writ of
mandamus should not issue compelling
him to display the sources of the figures
now being used as campaign document
by the Republican leaders. The court
room was filled with local and state poll
ticians when the case opened by the read
ing of the affidavit of E. E. Anderson.

In his affidavit Anderson, after reciting
his futile attempts to secure copies or see
the original lists from which tie report
had been complied, makes this charge
