pected to live. on his arrival here he
made matters very interesting bye declar-
ing that the supposed German was not
the same man who had originally mar
ried his sister. 1t was explained 70 MIN
that German had been very SICK during
his absence and that perhaps TINS was
what caused the great change IN ms APP
pearance This explanation apparently
satisfied Mr.. Mclaughlin, and when Mrs.
German was out Of danger he departed,
ostensibly for his Nebraska home, but IN
reality for Michigan to investigate the
story told by his alleged brother-in-law.
This investigation has resulted IN nnd-
ing that the. supposed Willis German is a
fraud and that the real Willis German
has been dead since the spring OF lesz.
Mr.. Mclaughlin traced German after
he left Sedgwiek and found tnat ne had
gone TO Milwaukee, and from there across
the lake to Michigan, where ne nad WOfh-
ed In the mines on the upper peninsula,
being known 10 all as German McBaugh-
lin 1t was further found that he had been
taken in charge by John Mcclure, living
at or near Hancock, Mich, who claimed
to be the injured mans cousin here
German died, and soon afterwards Nc
CURE disappeared, no one knew where.
The two men had resembled each other
to a remarkable degree, Mr.. Mclaughlin
was told by the people who had seen them
together.
Mr.. Mclaughlin charged the supposed
Willis German with being an imposter
and with being In reality John Mcclure.
The man holly denied the charges, but
that he was lying, he broke down and
confessed all He said Wills German was
his cousin and when German was injured
in the mine he was taken in charge by Nc
CURE and nursed. In his happiness at
finding a kinsman, German told Mcclure
all about his home life. his wife, his prop
erty and his friends, for as he lay there
dying everything came back to him and
his mind was once more clear.
Mcclure was tempted by the property
owned by German TO pass himself off
as the dead man. The two men resem-
bled each other, and armed as he was
with the history Of his cousin, and know
ing all the details of his life at Sedg-
wick, Mcguire found it an easy matter
to appear at the home of his cousin IN
his assumed character. He was sur
prised, he said to succeed as well as
he had, and would not have gone so far
had not Mrs German finally admitted
that he was her husband. Then il was
too late to back out. and he had been
literally in Willis Germans shoes ever
since.
Mcclure was completely Frustrated
when he finished his confession, and with
tears streaming down his face offered 10
marry Mrs. German. He said he loved
her and would do all in his power to
right the wrong he had wrought. The
child lying in Mrs. Germans arms was
his. he added, and this was an additional
reason why he should marry her.
Mr.. Mclaughlin, angry though he was.

most sensible that could be suggested,

A MORGAN LINE KICK.

The Steamers to Bluefieids with
drawn Owing to Poor Business.
Washington, Oct 16-The state depart
ment has received from b. b. Seal, United
States consular agent at Bluefelds, Mic
aragua, a report relative to the withdraw
al of the Morgan Line steamships from
that port, which shows that the Nor
gan company was not satisfied with it's
treatment by the Nicaraguan government.
Mr.. Seal learned from the agent of the
company al Bluehelds that after the COM
pany had rendered a prompt steam serv-
ice between Bluehelds and New Orleans
for eight years and after having contrib
uted' so literally to the development of
the trade and Improvement of the country
the government of Nicaragua had mani
tested a want of appreciation of its er-
forts and that in view of the cOmpany-s
losses on fruit during the past year the
company thought it best to withdraw its
ships and seek service where it can Sc
cure greater encouragement and have the
prospect OF adequate remuneration for
services rendered. Mr.. Seal reports a ru-
NOR that the Rama and Bluefields AgrI-
cola Company, composed exclusively of
Nicaraguans. has been exempted from the
payment of duties on fruit shipped by thar
company.
The export duties on bananas shipped
from Bluefields to the United States be-
tween Jan. l and July l. 1895 amounted
to $4,000 Nicaraguan currency or abou,
S17 800 in gold.

IN A DEAD MANS SHOES.
The Famous TichbOrne Case Finds a
Parallel Out in wisconsin.

From the New York World.
SedgwicS, Wis. Oct. Fin the winter
of 1892 Willis German, who had Just mar
ried Annie Mclaughlin, disappeared as
completely as though the earth had
opened and swallowed him. As he owned
a good farm and some business property
here, and his domestic relations were of
the most pleasant character, no reason
could be assigned for his leaving Extern
sive search and inquiry developed no
trace of his whereabouts. Mrs German
finally reconciled herself to widowhood
and set about looking alter her proper
ty worth in the neighborhood of $4,000.
In March. 1894, a man appeared in
Eedgwick and announced himself as the
missing Willis German. lie closely re-
sembled the missing man and had knowl-
edge OF circumstances that only German
and his wife knew. Nevertheless Mrs
German had her doubts There was
something peculiar about him which the
friends Of the missing Willis German
could not understand. He possessed all
the characteristics of the absent man. but
could not get names and localities right
at all times. and did not seem as familiar
with the country around Sedgwick as he
should have been. The man accounted
for this by saying that he had been injur-
ed in the head over in Michigan, to which
state he had wandered and that his
mind was not as strong as il had been
prior to his accident. He had been with
his cousin, John Mcclure, he said, who
had been very kind to him during the long
illness.
Within a month the man was recog-
nized by all as the real Willis German
and he then took his place as the head
of the German family The feeling on
the part of Mrs. Germans friends that
all was not right wore off after a time
and until a few days ago this man has
been looked upon as Willis German, the

A Marriage That Took Place Under
Disadvantages.

A Marriage That Took Place Under
Disadvantages.
There was sort of a military marriage
at the jail yesterday afternoon about :
o'clock. in which the chief participants
were Joe Williams and Sarah Harris.
Sarah had a warrant sworn out against
Joe in Justice Warning Russelrs court a
few days ago, charging him with non
support of her three-months-old child.
Williams could not give bond, and had to
go TO jail. The case was called in the city
court on Saturday, but il was made to
appear that some arrangement could be
made which would obviate any further
court proceedings. Williams was ready to
marry Sarah, but couldn't raise the money
20 pay FOR the license. Judge Ferrill OF
the court of ordinary consented to furnish
the license free of charge and as this
was the only barrier in the way of Joe-s
marital bliss all obstacles were removed.
When Sarah was asked as to her mind
IN the matter she replied that she was
willing enough to be married but she
SAID she was afraid she didn't know VII
hams well enough. She finally gave her
consent, however, and the marriage took
place, the ceremony being performed by
