ONE ADM|RER TOO MANY,
A Kentucky Lass Elopes With
One Lover, but Marries
the Other.
Exciting Episodes Mark the Period
Preceding the Marriage
Ceremony.

JACKSON, KY, July This town, the
scene of bad Tom Smiths hanging, is
prolific in the unusual. The heroine of
the latest one is Miss Dora Thompson, the
pretty 18-year-old niece of J. W. Hagen,
proprietor of the Arlington Hotel.
Miss Thompson has had two lovers
Durey Arnett of Salyerville and William
Spurlock. She finally decided to marry
Arnett, July 4, at Lexington, KY. Spur
lock subsequently prevailed upon her to
elope with him to Salyerville and get mar
ried. They started in blackboard across
the mountains, but were observed by a
friend of Arnett, who told Mr.. Hagen. The
latter mounted horse, and, with brace
of revolvers. started in pursuit of the
eIopers. He overlook them about FIVE
miles from town, made the young lady
mount the horse behind him and dashed
back to Jackson. SpurIock was inclined
to show fight, and drew his gun, but was
afraid of hurting the girl, and finally de-
sisted.
When Hagen reached home he locked
the truant girl in room.
Spurlock rode on to Salyeryille, got to-
gether posse of friends and went to Jack
in getting the window of the girls prison
open, but before they could take her out
Hagen appeared on the scene with Win
chester. He was backed by several friends
and meant business. Spurlock and his
party were driven away, after which an
armed guard was placed about the room.
Arnett heard of the affair and rode into
Jackson, armed to the teeth, and prepared
for an immediate marriage.
Spurlock sent committee of five to see
the girl and her uncle, requesting that he
and Arnett stand up together and let the
girl choose between them. In the mean
while, however, Arnett had got her ear and
she replied that she loved Arnett best.
Spurlock then determined to have her any,
way.
Thursday night Arnett visited town to
buy wedding outfit. While he was in the
store Spurlock walked up to him and after
few words, two forty-fours were drawn at
the same instant and two triggers clicked
simultaneously, but before the hammers
of the guns could fall. the girl, who lad
followed up her lover, stepped between
them and said:
"Bill Spurlock, / hate you for this.
Durey is gentleman and am going to
be his wife this minute. Put down those
pistols, both of you, and we'll get Brother
Dickey to marry Durey and me.''
The men were disarmed and made to
shake hands.
Then the party went down to Rev. Mr..
Dickey's house, and in the presence of
quite a crowd, were married. When the
ceremony was over Spurlock said to Arnett:
"You have got her, Durey, but she'll
never do you any. good. Mind what tell
you. Some day you'll be dead. and so will
she, and so will 1, and the world will know
why we all died. That's all I've got to
saw"

OPINIONS OF DIPLOMATS
They Say 1t Would Be Impos-
sibIe for Russia to Act
In Secret.
SHE IS WATCHED TOO CLOSELY.
No Grievance Against Japan, But
Against China in Relation
to Her Loan.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 1.-Among
diplomats, who are in position to be in
formed regarding the movements of Russia
in the Orient, the published statements
that that Government has modified an
army of $4,000 men at Vladivostock and
massed her ships in the harbor at that port
for the purpose of striking a blow at Japan
receive but little credence.
1t is pointed out that such a mobiliza
tion of troops could hardly be conducted
even at Vladivostock without those coun
tries interested in watching Russia becom
ing cognizant of it.
1t is also said that Russia could not have
such a number of men in the fal
East unless the troops stationed in Sibe
ria have been REINFORCED by the many
bands of struggling soldiery belong
ing to the various tribes which ar,
included by Russia in her army footing
An army composed of such untried anc
undisciplined men would not, it is main
tanned, be sent on an expedition agains
Japan, if such an expedition were contem
plated.
The fact that ships are gathered al
Vladivostock attracts no attention, for il
is military, naval and coaling station a.
well as commercial port, and the mum
Der of vessels there was increased some
time ago, when the aspect of affairs wa:
much more warlike than now.
The well-known opposition of Russian
officers to the inspection of outsiders would
operate against the gathering of such in
formation as Captain Anderson of the
Norwegian ship, according to the very
doubtful story put into his mouth. appear.
to have secured.
Only rarely has Russia permitted an in
spection of her. army and her ca-aps, an6
then only at the hands of accredited off
GERS of q friendly Government. Such ar
opportunity et yladivostoek was afforded
United States officers Upton and Forsyth
several years ago.
The army is encamped at point wfer,
the ordinary. commercial man or touris
would be unable to judge of its numbers o.
its strength, and how such an estimate a,
is claimed was made is question diplo
mats are unable to answer.
Just why Russia at this time should
seek to make warIike demonstration
against Japan is something not compre
hended here. The opposition of Russi,
to the terms of the treaty of peac,
with China was overcome by the sub
sequent modification of that convention
and so far as the Government of Japan il
concerned there is no feeling of bitterness
at all likely to lead to- q rupture between
the two countries.
The principal grievance of Russia, it il
pointed out, lies against China, and relates
entirely TO the loan she is about to make
but with that Japan has nothing to do.

TWO HELD FOR TRIAL.
They Had Issued Hundreds
of Counterfeit Chinese
Certificates.
MORE ARRESTS TO FOLLOW.
Men High in the Treasury Depart
ment Are Said to Be
Implicated.

SPOKANE. WASH, July 1.-The Govern
ment, through Special Agent F. d.
Schuyler of New York, has unearthed a
gigantic conspiracy to defraud the Gov
ernment through the wholesale issuing of
counterfeited Chinese registration certifi-
Gates, and as a result warrants were issued
to-day by United States Commissioner
Kenyon for James Graham, Register of
the Land Office at Coeur d'Alene City,
Edward Rick and w. Floyd Pollard, en-
gravers of this CITY, and Henry Tollton of
Kendrick, Idaho. The first two were ar
rested to-day, the former giving bonds in
the sum of $4,000 for appearance at the Sep
tember term of court.
Schuyler has been at work secretly on the
case for several weeks, and found that Gov
eminent officials and others at points in
Montana, Idaho and Eastern Washington
had entered into conspiracy, and for
months past have issued the bogus certii-
Gates on a large scale, 800 of which have al
ready been discovered. The certificates
bear the counterfeited seal of A. W.
Lyman, Collector of Internal Revenue for
the District of Montana. and were printed
in newspaper Office in this city, the work
being done by several printers after Office
hours.
United States Attorney Judge Brinker
is on his way here from Seattle, and when
he arrives, it is reported on good authority,
other prominent Government Treasury
officials will be placed behind the bars in
connection with the conspiracy.

JOINT DEBATE ON SILVER.
Bryan and Clarke Take Issue
Before a Trades Council
Meeting.
The Former Claims the Debtor
Should Have the Choice
OF Metals.

MOBILE, ALA, July 1.-At the invita-
ton of the Central Trades Council of this
city Hon. w. ]. Bryan of Nebraska and
Hon. R. II. Clarke of this city tonight
debated the free coinage of silver at the
ration of 16 to 1. The discussion took place
in the Mobile Theater, which was filed
with one OF the largest audiences that have
ever gathered within its walls. Before the
speakers were introduced NJ. T. Juge,
president of the Central Trades Council,
said there was nothing partisan in the
meeting at all; that the presence of any
gentleman on the stage was not to be taken
as an evidence that he was either for or
against the free and unlimited coinage of
silver.
Mayor G. L. Davretta introduced the
first speaker, Mr.. Bryan, who, after max
ing a few Introductory remarks, said the
debtor should have the choice of metals in
which to pay, as the greater number OF
people are debtors, and they demand
silver. The very fact that they are in
quest of silver to pay their debts will ap-
preciate that metal.
If the creditor is to have the choice of
metals he will take gold and then that
metal will be appreciated. He said that
there was not enough gold in the world to
conduct the business of the world and that
there was bound to be some silver used.
He quoted from speech made by Secre-
tary Carlisle in 1878 in which he spoke of
the evils that would befall the country it
silver was destroyed as money.
He said that he did not agree with the
proposition to coin silver at the ratio OF 81

BIDS FOR TORPEDO-BOATS
Proposals Asked for Three
With a Speed of at Least
TWenty-Six Knots.
A Proviso That One or More May
Be Built on the Pacific
Coast.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 1.-The
Navy Department to-day invited pro-
posals for the construction of three steel
twin-screw sea-going torpedo-boats. The
boats are to be of about 180 tons displace-
ment. The material used in their construc-
ton is to be of domestic manufacture. The
vessels may be constructed of steel or
other metal or alloy.
The contracts will require speed of not
less than an average of twenty-six knots
per hour, maintained successfully for two
consecutive hours. If they fail to develop
and maintain twenty-six knots, but ex-
hibit an average speed of not less than
twenty-five knots an hour, they will be ac-
cepted, so far as speed is concerned, at a
reduced price. the reduction being at the
rate of $4,000 a knot. If the speed falls
below an average of .25 knots an hour it
will be optional with the Secretary of the
Navy to reject the vessels or to accept
them at reduced price to be agreed upon
between the Secretary and the contractors.
The act of Congress authorizing the ves-
sells provides that one of them is to be
built on or near the coast of the Pacific
Ocean, one on the Mississippi River and
one on the Gulf of Mexico. The act pro-
vided further that in case the vessels could
not be built at these points at fair cost
they should be built at any place in the
United States.
Referring to this section of the act, the
proposal says: ''In view of the fact that
the. department may not be able to make a
contract for the construction, at fair
cost, on the Mississippi River or on the
Gulf Coast, it is decided that each bidder
will state the price for which he will un-
dertake to build one, two or all of said ves-
sells, according to the capacity of his plant,
in order that the contract may, if neces-
sary, be awarded to one bidder for the con-
struction of more than one vessel"

markable feature was the size of the brain,
which weighed but 31s1 ounces, or less
than three-fourths the average.
ALI the doctors agreed after the post
mortem examination that the execution
had been as successful as any which has
preceded it in point of painlessness. The
condition of the brain indicated the i'm
possibility OF consciousness after applca-
ton of the current.
Mrs. Buchanan notified Warden Sage as
soon as the execution was over that she in
tended to claim her husbands body and
give 1t burial. She said that she was with
out funds, but proposed TO obtain assist
ance from friends. The Warden promised
to keep the body for reasonable time
subject to her order, and showed his prac-
tical sympathy by starting subscription
in her behalf, to which nearly all of the
officials of the prison and Wltne sSes OF the
execution contributed.
DR.. Robert W. Buchanan came here from
Nova Scotia. In 1888 he married Annie
Price Patterson, and procured a divorce
from her in New York on November II,
1890. He was at the time q practicing
physician in that city. He became ac-
ouainted with Mrs. Anna B. Sutherland,
who was alleged to be woman of ques-
tionabie character.
a few days prior to his marriage to
the Sutherland woman, on November %,
1890, she executed a will, leaving her New
ark property TO Buchanan. After their
marriage they went to live at 267 West
Eleventh street, New York City, where she
was taken III and died on Saturday, April
%. 1892. The body was inferred in Green
wood Cemetery, but the following July
was removed for examination. Unmistak-
able signs of the presence ofmorphine were
found in the stomach, and DR.. Buchanan,
having an interest in the woman's death,
was. arrested, tried and found guilty on
April 26. On August IA, 1898, Recorder
Smyth denied a motion for new trial,
and sentenced Buchanan to die during the
week beginning October 2. After his law
yers had appealed unsuccessfully to the
higher courts, including the United States
Supreme Court, he. was resentenced. on
May q by the Court of Appeals.
During the week beginning July Bu-
chanan remarried his first wife, shortly
after the death Of the second wife.

Pathetic Scene When She Fietcs the Body
of the Murderer.
NEW YORK, n. Y, July 1.-The body
of DR.. Robert Buchanan arrived at the
Grand Central station and was taken to
the rooms of the undertaken at about 8
o'clock. A large crowd of people in the
neighborhood collected in front of the
house, and were admitted to view the face
of the electrocuted murderer.
At 1880 o'clock Mrs. Buchanan came
downstairs while the doors were Temporal
rily closed and the crowd was kept out.
She had been with the undertaken
family for an hour ani had not
seen the body of her husband since
his death. a most pathetic scene occurred
when she entered the room. She walked
to the casket and threw herself upon it.
She kissed the cold lips of the man she
loved.
''Oh, Robert. Robert" she cried, "yoa
are gone from me, and how | loved voup'
She sobbed violently and kissed the
red mark made over the right
eye of the dead man by the strap
that held him in the electric chair.
Lawyer George W. Gibbons tried to con-
sole the grief-stricken woman, and after a
time endeavored to tear her away, but
without success. Undertaken Huhn also
tried to get her upstairs to quiet her.

take me from you, Robert Oh, my dar-
lingl" and she became wrought to a high
pitch of excitement.
The lawyer and the undertaken then
tried to lift her from the casket to get her
away, but she clung closer to the corpse,
and cried out to be left alone. Then she
let out shrek after shrek that were heard
on the street causing people to mass in great
numbers about the house and tried to get
in. Lawyer Gibbons and the undertaken
had to almost carry her out of the room.
The time of the funeral has not been fixed,

to /, as it would make the dollar twice as
large as it now was and that, by this opera
ton, the amount of silver in circulation in
this country would be curtailed just one
half, and the metallic money OF the world
would be reduced one-quarter, and this
would enhance the value of the remaining
three-fourths.
He said that the bimetallists propose to
create a demand for silver by law, and
then he said if man in town would give
25 cents for dozen eggs, all the eggs In
that town would be worth % cents. He
might not get all the eggs, but his action
would set the price on eggs and make
them all worth % cents. Ii the Govern
ment can take all the silver at 81 ~ per
ounce. it would be worth that price.
France maintained the free coinage OF
silver at the ratio of 1914 to 1, and there are
not half as many people in France as In
the United States. Mexico cannot MAIN
tain the free coinage of silver, because
Mexico is a small country-not nearly as
large as the United States.
Mr.. Clarke, also introduced by Mr.. DaV-
retta, spoke substantially as follows:
As far as | am concerned, it was under
stood this discussion should deal with the
question as to whether the free and un-
lifted coinage of silver, at the rate OF 10 to
l. is for the benefit of the laborlng
classes of the United States. and after the
workingman has listened to the nlcely
worded sentences of my opponent, does
he know any more about the matter than
he did at the start? There are many peo.
pie who can make TRADE against Carlisle,
and there are half dozen who can throw
mud at him-not more than half dozen
since Kentucky spoke the other day.
Laughter
It is true that Kentucky nominated a
free-coinage man, but she did it on a plat
form indorsing Cleveland and in favor of
sound money. My opponent, in saying
Mexico cannot carry the free coinage of
silver successfully, admits that it is bur-
den for any country to carry, and because
the country is a little larger it will be bet
ter able to bear the burden.
Congressman Bankhead said the other
night when he spoke here that all the men
who opposed the repeal of the 10 per cent
bank tax were in favor of the free coinage
of silver, and then, turning to Bryan, he
asked:
''Did you vote for the repeal of the 10
per cent tax on State banks?"
81 did not" replied Bryan.
"Then," said Clarke, Il leave you to
settle that little difference with Bankhead

He announced himself in favor of both

NEW YORK, N. Y. July 1.-Segundc
Alvarez, Mayor of Havana, Cuba, arrived
this morning in New York city. Mayor
Alvarez, who owns the largest cigar factory
in Havana, makes serious charges against
the United States Government regarding
the neutrality laws. He says:
"The Government and people of United
States are either blind or ignorant regard
ing the present revolution in Cuba.
"Your President has issued proc.
lamation enforcing the neutrality
laws, but indirect violation Of
these laws you permit daily. You
allow military drills to take place at Key
West and at Tampa, Fla. You don't in
tend to aid the insurgents, but you toier-
ate the drilling of military companies
within your territory to aid the insurgents,
against your good faith in your treaty with
Spain.
"Of course THE people and tie Covers
ment of the United States are not entirely
TO blame for this state of affairs. There
are a great many Cubans prominent in
business and. politics who come to your
country ard become citizens simply for the
purpose of arousing friendly sentiment
They don't renounce their citizenship in
Cuba. The present war may last one OIL
even two years longer, but Spain will win
in the end.'
