Nice-Presltient Steyenson's Daughter Not
Engaged to Young MIR. Curtis.


Engaged to Young MIR. Curtis.
WAsHINGToN, July 31.--A romantic
story of an alleged engagement between
Miss Mary Stevenson, daughter of the
Vice. President, and George +. Curtis,
clerk in the Congressional Law Library,
and of parental objection to the match,
is emphatically denied by the Vice
President, who does not, however, touch
upon the question of an attachment be-
tween the young people.
According to the original story, Mr..
Curtis and the pretty young daughter
Of the Democracy met on a Potomac
excursion. The former had since been
very assiduous in his attentions, and
was reported To have bought the young
lady ring and presented her with a
photograph of herself.
One evening not long ago Mr.. Curtis
called Mt the hotel where the family
stopped and sent up a not. to Miss
Stevenson, asking her TO accompany
him on a picnic to Great Falls under the
chaperonage of Mrs. Senator Blanchard.
He received no answer, and the next
day sent a second note, and in the even
ing he called and sent up his card.
Lewis q. Stevenson responded and,
taking the young sutton aside, told him
that his attentions must cease.
The latter now punctures the interest
ing story of an engagement, saying:
"Mr. Curtis was not engaged to my
sister; he has called at the hotel several
times, and was regarded as mere
acquaintance. There was no ring, no
photograph, no love letters. make this
statement for my father as well as for
myself"
Mr. Curtis cannot be found to explain
the story.

4 MrILI0NAIRE COLLABORATION.


From His Wife for Two Yenrs-Sent to
Japan and Swallowed by Detectives.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, July 81
Among tho passengers who arrived on
the Gaolic yesterday was e. NJ. Byers,
n rich manufacturer Of Pittsburg, who
came in company with DIR. Samuel A.
Boyd, physician who has lately been
travelling with him.
According to the stories circulated
Byers had for some time been abroad
because of i'll health. In fact some of
the stories held that he was not in his
right mind. Besides, as was stated,
Byers' brother, who is his partner in the
iron business in Pittsburg, was charged
with being anxious to keep him abroad,
there being couple of million dollars
concerned in it.
According TO the story, Byers was
"shanghaiec" from his home two years
ago. His wife was in great grief and
besought the brother to give some clew
as to her husbands whereabouts. This
he would not do. She then engaged de-
tectiyes, supplied them plentifully with
money and urged them to use every en-
deavor to find him. they, through their
agencies, searched throughout the United
States without avail.
A year ago they succeeded il locating
him in japan. When the detectives
arrived there, however, Byers was
gone. The detectives sent to bring
him home followed him 10 Australia,
China and to the Hawaiian Islands.
The sick man was finally discovered in
Japan. The wife's detectives discoy-
cred by this time that Bycrs' brother
had been using detectives and further
more that he had doctor engaged to
travel with the missing man.
Necessary legal papers were pro-
cured and Mrs. Byers' detectives took the
invalid in charge and started back with
him. all went well ill he reached
Honolulu. There the detective employed
by his brother endeayored TO prevent
their coming any further. lie succeeded
in getting away however, and there was
no more trouble until Byers and the
detective arrived here yesterday.
After some trouble between detectives
representing the different interests,
Byers was taken East ON last nights
overland, thwarting the efforts Of his
brother who was trying tc get out a
habeas corpus.
Mrs, Byers had her husband taken
from her in a peculiar way and by the
same brother. She had followed him
when he had been spirited away and
was attending him in his illness. She
stepped from the room for moment
and when she came back he was gone.
The doctor in attendance, it is charged,
by friends Of the wife, had been bought
over by the brother and he, with the
attendants, also influenced by the
brothers money, DISAPPEARED with the
husband.
+. M. Byers, the ailing man, who has
been so long abroad in many distant
parts of the world, is said to be worth
between $1,000,000 and $2,OOO,O00. He
is Interested in extensive iron works at
both Pittsburg and Philadelphia.
