way of contemplating one with her great
blue eyes that was altogether fascinating.
Bob Helmsleigh went down before that

Now, Phil Marsdcn was the sort of n
man that lady novclists describe as 'ono

all round, but it never occurred to Bob to
envy his friend until he saw Gwen War
rington
The officers of Bob's regiment took 1t
into their heads to give n ball. 1t was at
this ball that Bob was introduced to the
future Mrs. Phil Marsden, and they danced
a good deal together. Gwen gave Bob
more waltzes than she gave Phil, but the
latter did not seem to mind, and that, OF
course was rather u queer state Of things.
Bob noticed it
He saw nothing more of either Phil or
Gwen until the autumn, and then he ran
into them at the house of friend. his
time the idea that all was not right be
tween the lovers struck him more forclbly
than before.
One day he found Gwen in the library,

JESSIE AND JIM.
QUIET BUT SENSATIONAL MAR
RAGE AT AsBURY PARK.
Even the Best Friends of Pompa-
dour Jim-SeveraI Entanglements

ASBURY PARK, n. L., Aug. 10
There was a quiet civil marriage here
today, of which the principals were
Champion James j. Corbett and Jessie
Taylor, of Omaha, better known as
Vera Stanwood, the name under which
she figured as correspondent in the re-
cent suit for the divorce which was
granted to Mrs. Ollie Lake Corbett.
So quietly had Corbett's intentions
been kept that not even his manager,
William A. Brady, knew that ne in
tended matrimony SO soon, nor were
any of his other friends in sporting
circles apprised of the event.
Justice of the Peace John Borden,
entered the Corbett cottage at noon,
for the Catholic church, of which Cor
bett is a communicate, does not sane
ton the marriage rite for a. divorced
person. He found waiting in the par
lor, J. E. Workman, of Jersey City,
paymaster of the Consolidated Trac-
ton company, Joseph Corbett, brother
of the pugilist, who assisted him in a
recent restaurant unpleasantnesS with
Fitzsimmons, Alice Brown, the colored
cook, and two Newspaper men. A
slight mistake delayed the wedding, for
some official had handed out a birth
certificate instead of the required mar
riage license.
Mr.. Bucklaw was dispatched down
town and returned soon with the neces-
sary paper.
When they entered the parlor 81
gether, Corbett wore a black cutaway
coat and light trousers. His fiancee a
lavender silk costume, trimmed with
lace and with pompadour corsage
and delicate blue ribbon around her
neck. Corbett threw his arms around
his wife's neck and kissed her heartily
two or three times. Congratulations
followed.
They left an hour afterward and
colored Alice threw gice after them
They took a train for Buffalo and
Niagara Falls, where they will stay
for ten days, after which Corbett will
return and begin training for his
match with Fitzsimmons.
1t would have been illegal for them
to marry in New York, for the decree
of divorce made in that state barred
the pugilist from remarrying in the
life time of his first wife. Legal
authorities say that they would not be
recognized by the law as man and wife
While living in New York In the mar
riage certificate, the residence of both
parties is given as Asbury Park.

POLITICAL, NOT PHYSICAL.

Chance Remark Threatens to Be-
come of National Interest.
MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. IA chance re-
mark, uttered by Senator Washburn in
a private conversation in New York,
threatens to become matter of national
interest. The name of John Edward Adj
dicks became very familiar to the reading
public during the late senatorial contest
in Delaware and 1t was alleged that it
was due to him that the election of an
other Republican senator to succeed Sena-
tor Higgins, of Delaware was defeated.
This was discussed among other things
by Senator Washburn, and he made use
of an expression which was published in
New York last Saturday TO the effect that
man Eke AddlchS should be killed.
When tia senator returned here he ack
nowledged having used such an express
sion. In response to this Senator Wash
burn today received the following tele-
gram:
''PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. Is.
Senator w. d. Washburn
Kindly wire me the grounds upon
which you base your Judgment that 1
should be killed.
tSigned) j. EDWARD ADDICKS."
To this the following reply was sent:
'MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Aug. Is.
81. Edward Addichs, Philadelphia:
Telegram Just receievd. Relieving you
responsible for the defeat of a. RepubIi-
can senator, / expressed myself emphat-
ically as l did in New York, as to your
action, intimating of oGIrse, political
rather than physical punishment.
(Signed) w. d. WASHBURN.'

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-One of the
hioo0iest battles that has been fought
in British Honduras in many a day, says
letter from Belize, just received in
Trenton. n. J.. occurred August 3, at
straun creek and Mullins river, about
thirty miles south of Belize. The dis
trict there is settled by up yard of 10000
CARDS, whose reservations embrace most
of the ground under cultivation. The re-
mainder is occupied by English planters
principally, who have in their service
4.0eO Jamaica negroes.
a lew months ago a number Of Eng
lish planters, whose plantations are To-
Gated seven miles from the coast, applied
TO the colonial legislature at Belize for
permission to construct railroads from
their plantation through the Cariba res
ervations to the coast. Permission was
granted and the surveyor general was au-
thorlZed to survey the routes.
The rails for the railroads arrived from
England three or four weeks ago. AS
soon as the Caribs found it out, a num-
her OF them went to the English planters
and warned them not to put them down
upon their reservations if they desired
TO avoid serious trouble. The English
planters laughed, and the work went on
The Caribs meant nothing by their
threats. Late in the afternoon of Au-
gust 3. the Caribs in large numbers,
armed with machetes. advanced upon the
negroes at work on the railroads and or
fiereo them to take up the rails. The
negroes refused and threatened to at
tack the Carins unless they cleared out.
They went away, but returned in less
than ar hour TO the number of close
upon 1905 am egan to tear up the rails.
The Ens!ish,nen ordered their negores
to try d little fighting. Tho moment the
negroes raised their -veapons the Caribs
rushed upon them and with their mach
etes. hacked and chopped the negroes to
pieces. Small as their numbers were.
the negroes fought bravely and killed
many of their antagonists, but they
could only stand against the Caribs two
hours.
Between 500 and 600 negroes, in all,
were killed and almost as many injured,
while the Caribs had close upon 800
killed and twice as many wounded, some
mOrtally. AS soon as the negroes were
forced to beat a retreat, the Caribs went
TO work and tore up every foot of rails,
damaging many of the English planta-
tons and destroyed fruit and robbed TO
the value of many thousands Of dollars.

HOWARD IS HELD.
A CASE THAT HAS SHAKEN UP ST.
LOUIS.
Reason to Believe That the Notori-
Gus NeGress Had Been Slowly
Poisoned in Order That Howard
and Others Might Get Her Money

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 15.-The body of
Mamie L. Leath a negress, sister and
heir of Priscilla Henry, another
negress, whose bagnio has been for
years the most notorious in the city of
st. Louis, was exhumed by order of the
coroner today and the viscera
taken out for chemical examination
In the meantime, Thomas r. Howard
a descendant of the English family of
that name and broker of thirty years
standing. who has been the paramour
Of the Henry woman and has had
charge of her affairs, is under arrest
pending the result of the investigation
Some days ago Howard was arrested
charged jointly with Florence Will
lams, cook in the Henry woman's
house, with attempting to fraudu-
lently transfer to himself (the Williams
woman personating the Henry woman)
$4,000 worth of the 100000 worth Of
real estate accumulated by the Henry
woman curing a career Of shame of
many years. Bond was given and
Howard was released, but the Will
liams woman was held in Jail.
The Henry woman had been i'll, but
improved during Towards brief in
generation. From this a, chain of cir
cumstances led to q suspicion that
Howard was slowly poisoning her. and
that he had also poisoned her sister,
who died some weeks ago. The coroner
seized lot of medicine which Howard
had been administering 10 the Henry
woman and some that had been given
by him to the Leath woman before her
death. These medicines are being
chemically examined also and :. re.
port on them is expected shortly. In
the meantime, Howard was re-arrested
and is still held
