.CLARK..A HARD. GAME.
Having. Wins All Over the
- s. Il: !. Country,
His Denver Exploit Has Led to the
Identification of the. Cham
=. :pion. BicycIist.

NEW YORK. Nov. 17.-Similarity of name
and con dnet;suggests that the Clarence w.
CLARK, sel!-styled champion bicycist Of
the world and holder of a $4,000 diamond
belt" whose. recent elopemeht with Miss
Gertrude :Hntchins at Denver created
something of a sensation In the West, is
The same Clarence W. Clark who. as
alleged, entered four years ago upon a
CAREER of deception that has involved 9TH
ers as we'll as. himself in .notoriety. The
relator of the following narrative is con-
vinced of the identity of the Denver Clark
with the young New Yorker. :.
According: to this story Clark, in Sep
TENDER. 1890, secured an introduction to
Miss S. A:*Lawrenee of Harlem. Clark
was then in his eighteenth year.. He rep
resented himself as coming OF wealthy
parents and expected TO be a physician In
New York hospital The Introduction
resulted in the marriage of Miss Lawrence
and young CLARK on Septemb Der 20, 1890,
the ceremony being performed by the
Rev. Mr.. Birch of the Eleven th-strees
Methodist Church.
Mrs. Clark very soon discovered that her
youthful husbands pretensions were false
and that he was without means of support
ing her. I'M fact from the day of the
marriage the young couple were compelled
to live with the Lawrence family, Clark's
relatives refusing to aid him owing to the
many: scrapes he had gotten into before
this event. When Mrs. Lawrence, the
brides mother. discovered the condition of
affairs she called on Clark's family and it
was agreed that steps should be taken at
once TO have the marriage annnled. All
the Lawrence family had moved to Jersey
City in the interval, where they reside at
present. The suit was to have been
brought beftre the Supreme Court in this
city. The action was 10 have. been begun
May 81. 1891, but before that date young
Clark disappeared and the suit YVES
dropped.
NoliiDg was seen or heard: Of him for
almost two years. In the early part of
1893 he made bis appearance at the home
of .the LawIences and coollN asked his
wife to live with him again. His request
was refused point blank and again he dis
appeared. Hislast visit TO his wife was in
August Of this year. She clrahced to be
out when he called and Mrs. Lawrence re-
ceived him. Clark renewed his enlreaties
that he might be permitted to live with his
wife. Again; he was refused. Then. he
admitted that thu real purpose of his. visit
was to make arrangements for securing a
divorce from his wife through court in
another Slate that he might marry a young
lady in Brooklyn to- whom he was en-
gagged. he left the house, promising TO
return. but failed to appear and nothing
has been heard from him snce.

SUGAR TRUST CASES.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.--The opinion of
Judge Cole denying the demurrer to the

CARNEY was entered in the record to-day
Mr.. Wilson, the attorney for the defen-
dants, will give notice of appeal en- Mon

sus aimed in the Court of Appeals. to have
Mccartney and Chapman surrender them
selves To the Marshal and then apply for a
writ of habeas. corpus, which would be
carriedto the United States Supreme Court
District Attorney Brney has gifted Judge
Dittenboefer thai he will call up at once
the cases of his clients, the newspaper
correspon dents, Messrs. John Shyiver of
the New York Mail and Express and E.
Jay Edwards OF the philadelphia Press. who
were indicted for refusing to answer ques-
tions. before the Senate sugar trust in
ves,igating committee. The District Al
torney has decided not to wait until after
the appeal in the brokers' cases, which will
be made next week, but TO go ahead and
push the newspaper correspondents cases
as soon as possible. The overriding of he
demurrer in the Chapman case does not
affect materially the cases Of Messrs.
Shriver and Edwards, for it was not a
test one in their case. AS soon as these
cases are called Judge Dittenhoefer will
demur to the Indictment against his clients
and this will be argued, most likely, before
Judge Cole again.

DREDGING THE BARS.
Revolution in the System OF
River Improvements.
Some Successful and Important Ex-
periments Made by the fIis-
sissipi Commission.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. ia complete
revolution of the Governments system of
river improvements is in prospect Plans
+. to that end have already been made and
some experimental work accompl shed,
which promises mutual benefit to the com-
mercial interests Of St. Louis and the en-
tire country.
The subject of dredging the Mississippi
River along its whole naviaable length is
now receiving the earnest consideration of
the Mississippi River Commission, the
mem ers of which are at present on an in
spec,ion tour of the big stream from this
city TO the gulf. Dredging the bars.
which at this season constitute a sore
hindrance to navigation, is a matter of
deep concern to all the commercial inter-
ests of the central tier o. States, and the
announcement that PLANS are being per-
fected for regular and continuous
system of keeping the Mississippi free
from these obstacles will be received wi b
much satisfaction by thousands of people
who are vitality interested In uninterrupted
navigation at all seasons.
The commissions committee Oh dredges
and dredging. composed of Colonel Henry
F. Ladd of this city and Major B. P. Har-
rod of New Orleans, some time ago
authorized and caused to be constructed
dredge fol experimental purposes and
for the incidental improvement of the
channel. Thus far but two experiments
of any consequence have been made. They
were at Cherokee Bar. below Cairo, where
new channel was made. affording seven
feet of Davigable water. where only four
and e-third feet had existed before the
work began. The second trial Of the a.
eh ines capacity was made at DEVILS Isl
and. just above Cape sGirardeau. with the
same excellent results. although the con-
ditions existing at the latter place were
particularly bad
The dredge now used is. the first ever
constructed here. although the sams ma
chine, with some notifications. has long
been used upon the rivers of Germany
with remarkable success. 1t was said al
the Office of the commission that the out
look for the establishment of a permanent
dredging force, with all needed apparatus,
was excellent, and that river men could
reasonably look forward. to a clear chan
mel from st. Louis to the gulf at all sea-
sons within period of.twoyears.
