PoTrsv1LLE, Pa, June ia wedding
will soon be celebrated at which the
groom will be in Pottsville and the bride
on the other side of the Atlantic ocean,
more than 5000 miles away. Louis

this marriage by proxy, and Margerita
Santos is the heroine. The young peo-
pie have been lovers for long time,
but the young man is unable to cross
the ocean and wed his sweetheart. A
power of attorney was issued by no.

and which gives Joseph Romero, of Glib
raltar, power to act for Mr.. Thompson
at the marriage. The bride is Romero's
niece. The bride will come to this
country and join her husband after the
ceremony. This Is the first case of mar
rage by proxy in Po,tsville's history.

to the peculiar marriage. The Catholic
bishop there told the family that the
ceremony would be legal. Mr.. Thomp-
son is night clerk at the Pennsylvania
Hall Hotel.

CONVICTED OF ARSON
Miss AIfstadt So Found by a Jury
at Spokane.
A BELIEF IN HER INNOCENCE
Her Brother, Eric A'fstadt, Was Imme'
d'ately Are sted On q Similar Charge
and Placed in Jail.

SPOKANE, June 15.-Emma Alfstead
was found guilty of arson by jury in
the criminal court yesterday, but rec
commended to the mercy of the court.
Immediately after the verdict was read
Eric Alfstadt, her brother, was arrested
on a similar charge and placed in jail
Attorney Bushnell moved for i new
trial and Judge Arthur fixed her bend.
pending the motion, at 81 900.
The case was one largely of circum.
stantial evidence. Miss Alfstead Is a
dressmaker, and when her establish
ment was found on fire she was absent.
Coal oil had been spilled on infiammable
materials, however, and when the wo-
man was arrested she maintained her
trunks were burned, though they were
afterwa1d found in her brothers resi-
dence at Hillyard. The brother then
maintained that the trunks belonged to
parties in Omaha. When the fire broke
out Miss Alfstadt was visiting lady &C.
quaintance on the north side, and the
lady testified she smelled coal oil on
Miss Alfstadt's hands. The belief is
now growing that Miss Alfstadt knew
nothing of the removal of the trunks,
and that she had nothing to do with the
firing of the house, but was victim of
circumstances.

Elevator Men Will Fight Chicago Wheat
Gamblers.
CHICAGO, June 16.-The Chicago
board of trade as business association
will have the livliest kind of CON-
petitor. 1t was so decided at special
meeting of the Elevator Association
Company. For the fist time since the
700 members of the exchange decided
to punish warehouse men dealing in
grain, the latter have outlined what
they proposed to do. This in brief Is
to form an entirely new organization
to be known as the Chicago Corn Ex-
change, where grain is stored in their
elevators. Warehouses receipts will be
recognized and traded in. To this end
they announce that they have leased a
plat of ground directly across the
street from the present exchange and
will take immediate steps to erect a
building large enough to accommodate
the membership of the organization,
which is limited to 1000.

Iowa Woman Proves Her Right TO Big
California Estate.
GALENA, ILL.,, June 15.-Mrs. Leu M.
Wheeler, of Toledo, Iowa, is in fair
way to gain possession of a fortune of
half million dollars. A few months
ago a wealthy miner, Nicholas Lutte,
died in California. He bequeathed the
bulk of his fortune to his daughter and
the heirs of his sister If they could be
found, and enjoined his executors to
continue a search for them which he
had pursued unsuccessfully for years.
Attorneys in Galena, Lute's home many
years ago, were communicated with. 1t
was learned that Lutte had deserted his
wife and babe here in 1854, when he
went to California. Now Mrs. Wheeler
appears here with evidence that she is
Lute's daughter so strong that the at
torneys are convinced. Mrs. Wheeler
was reared by her uncle. Eli Matthews,
of Maquoketa, Iowa, and believed she
was his daughter, until recently her
true history was told her.

% A Peculiar Wool Market.

Boston, June 15- The American
Wool and Cotton Reporter says of the
wool market that the situation Is pc
culiar. The value of wool Is largely
nominal and uncertain. There is no de-
mand. Itemized sales show the small.
est weeks business in many months.
Everything favors buyers, but light
stocks on hand save the market from
slumping. Secured basis for fine and
medium territories has not yet eaten
down to 30 cents, but attempts have
been made by manufacturers and some
others to effect such decline. Little
more has been doing in Australian wool
this week, the total sales aggregating
161,5 500 pounds, mainly for Phillips Com
bination Clothing Company. The total
amount of wool in bonded warehouse In
Boston May was 3O,s59,9a0 pounds,
against 29,614,351 year ago. The
total sales of wool in Boston show 4
decrease of 1851 bales Of domestic
and 2O7, 500 pounds Of foreign, making

member of the chamber of deputies,
has written to the Secolo describing
the condition of the mining population

to die of hunger others shall share their
fate. Many of the miners are turning
robbers and brigandage has assumed
alarming proportions. Landowners,
frightened at the depredations upon

my wife returned from the West Indies

main here for the present and await

BORROW A MILLION
The Northern Pacific Needs That
Amount of Cash.
TO PREVENT INTEREST DEFAULT
The Receivers Will Accept an Offer In the
Event They Are Granted Permis-
sion by the Court.

MILWAUKEE, June 1s.-In order to
Get the first mortgage interest cou.
pons. which will become due July I,
the receivers of the Northern Pacific
railroad will borrow Sl,O)O,OOO. The
loan was offered to the reorganization
of the consolidated bond
holders and the proposition made to the
receivers, who had conference and
unanimously decided to accept it. The
big loan cannot be made without rer-
mission of the court, and Receiver
Payne says application for leave to
accept the money has been made to
Judge jenkins.
The loan Is to be made at simple in.
terest, without any commission and
directly to the receivers, who with the
authority of the court will repay the
money out of the earnings Of the road
for the next few months. By thus an.
ticipa,irg the receipts an otherwise
unavoidable default will be prevented.
And 1t will be prevented without cost,
as the overdue coupons would have
been entitled to the same interest as
the loan will bear. The statements
rendered by the receivers show that
the more than the years first mortgage
interest ard sinking fund has been
earned during the twelve months, and
would have been available for the July
payment but for the necessity of pay
ing preferential debt under direction of
the court. The friends o: Receiver
Thomas F. Cakes think now that he Is
comparatively safe and say no testi-
mony strong enough to warrant his re-
moval has been brought out in the hear
ing before Master In Chancery Cary.

DORIAN AN EASY WINNER.

Sir Walter Defeated In Mile and q Half
Running Race.
NEW YORK, June 15.-In the mile and
a half race at Morris Park yesterday
Sir Walter was a prohibitive favorite,
with Sport second choice, and the g.
year.old Dorian was not wanted by any.
body but the punters. The flag fell to
a good start and none of the jockeys
seemed inclined to make the running.
The consequence was that the race de-
generated into a mile gallop and a
sprint of half mile down hill. In a
short time Sir Walter had enough of it,
and then Griffin sent Dorian out for the
lead. He took it easily and In the last
eighth Sport got enough of it, leaving
the 3-vear-old to gallop in winner in
2:42. Dorian will run in the American

A SURPLUS OF HORSES.
Proposition That Vast Numbers BE Killed
for Use as Fertilizers.

1OE OSo aS COTCuAZoEBs
What to do with surplus horses is
proving rather perplexing problem in
the northwest. 1t is estimated that in
eastern Washington, Oregon, Montana,
Idaho and Nevada there are two million
head of half-breed horses for which no
market can be found. The prices paid
at auction sales are 50 low that there Is
no profit in raising the animals. A few
dollars will now buy good mustang.
Meanwhile the stock running wild on
the big ranches goes on increasing out
of all proportion to the demand. The
cause of the depression in the horse
trade is largely the employment Of
electricity as motive power in every
part of the country, and no market can
be assured in the future except for
horses with thoroughbred strain in
them. 1t is now proposed literally to
kill off by thousands the mongrel herds
of the northwest and convert them into
fertilizing and similar compounds.
With this end in view company has
been organized at Portland, Or, and a
site for the abattoir has been secured.
1t is proposed by the incorporates to
bring all the horses purchased to the
abattoirs and there kill them by pain.
less method. The flesh will then be
made into fertilizer. The hides, that
have always market value, will be
carefully removed and sailed, the hair
being shaved of, and, with the name
and tail, used for the stufing of mat
tresses and upholstery work.
