THE MARINE BAND.
A Story That They Have Been Strand
cd in Texas.

A Story That They Have Been Strand
cd in Texas.
A letter was received in this city this
morning, under a Texas date, written by
a member of the Marine Band, which for
some weeks has been on a concert tour
through the south. Prior information has
been to the effect that the tour has not
been a financial success, but it was not
suspected that the failure was as great as
this letter represents it to be. The writer
says that the manager of the band failed
to pay the salaries. hotel bills and railroad
expenses of the members, and that he
finally deserted the organization and left
the musicians stranded in a Texas town.
Prof. Fanciulh was left in the same pre-
dicament as his men. and together they
have been enaeavoring to work their way
back to Washington, SO the letter stated,
by giving concerts from town to town.
Inquiry was made at the marine bar
racks this afternoon, but the officers there
stated that no Information to this effect
had been received by the marine corps in
this city, 1t was thought that if any such
thing had happened Prof. Fanciulli would
have teiegraphed at once to the command
ant of the corps, Col. Haywood The last in
formation from him showed that he was
still in Texas, and in the absence of any
thing further from the leader of the band
the officials are prone TO think that there
is nothing in the story that the bandsmen
have been deserted.

A Lively Fire,

Shortly before 2 o'clock this afternoon
flames were discovered bursting out of the
third-story back windows of the house 1910
C southwest, just across the alley from ST.
Marks Lutheran Church. The fire depart
ment was quickly on the scene. The fire
was extinguished by the chemical engine
before it had gained any considerable head
way. The house is, occupied by Mr.. F. B.
Cookscy and family, and the rooms on the
third floor are reated, and the fire started
in the room of Charles Smith, a Grand
Army veteran. and destroyed a new set of
furniture which Mrs. Cooksey was paying
for, as well as nearly all the personal eff
fects of Mr. Smith, who had his hair and
mustache singed in his efforts to save his
clothing.
Mrs Cooksey's loss is about $50. and the
building, which is owned by William Neu-
land, is damaged to the exent of over $780,
fully covered by insurance. The origin of
the fire is a mystery, as the room was I'M
occupied at the time, Mr.. Smith having left
it some ten minutes before the flames were
discovered.

Testimony in Mrs. Girty's Standard
Oil Suit.
CHARGED WITH KILLING a SAILOR
A Canadian Town Under Five Feet
of Water.
CHARGES OF ENLIGHTENMENT

BROOKLYN, N. Y. April 23.-Consider-
able testimony was taken in the special
term of the supreme court before Judge
Cullen today in the action brought by Mrs.
Caroline Il. Girty against the Standard
Oil Company, to recover certain landed
property in Cleveland, Ohio, which, it is
alleged. was decided to the company as
the result of fraud and duress.
The plaintiff testified that in 1885, on her
return from the funeral of her child, her
rsband, George w. Girty, since deceased,
admitted that he had embezzled large
sum of money belonging to the Standard
Oil Company, by which he was employed,
and that If restitution was not made he
would be arrested. He further said that
before he would submit to this he would
kill her and himself.
If. however, she would sign over the
property, it would save him and he would
still be retained in the companys employ.
Mrs. Girty says she agreed to become Sc
curity for the amount embeZZled, which,
she was Informed, was something like
$250,000. She signed certain papers in 1S.,2,
ard later learned that she had signed al:
absolute deed of conveyance for properly
nth 100000. Later her husband denied
that he had ever embezzled any money be-
lCr ginS to her employers.

SAN DIEGO, Cal, April 23.-Jerome B.
Westgate, against whom sensational
charges of putting his wife in an insane
asylum have been made, states that for
some considerable time after he and Mrs.
Westgate came to San Diego, she showed
signs of insanity, but that no particular
notice was taken of her case until last Oc-
tober, when she was regularly examined
by physicians here, declared insane and
committed to the asylum at San Bernar-
dino, whence reports occasionally reached
him that she was no better. On April Is
he was informed by the manager of the
asylum that Mrs. Westgate had been re-
leased on March 80 with certificate that
she was 30 per cent sane, and that she had
accompanied her sister to Chicago.
Westgate is living here in quiet and un-
assuming manner, occupying a cottage that
appears to have been built by careful saw
ing Neither his personal appearance nor
his habits would indicate a violent nature
or extravagant living.
