MARRIED IN A HURRY
William Lackaye and Alice
Evans of the Trilby Com
pany Wedded.
A Performance at Omaha Delayed
While the Knot Was
Being Tied.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa, Sept. 25-
Wilton Lackaye and Miss Alice Evans
were married here this afternoon. Lack
aye, or William Lackays, the name he
gave. in getting the license, is the leading
man in the Trilby Company that has been
engaged at Omaha for the past three days.
The bride was also member of the COM
pany up to to-day, taking the part of
"Musette," one of the minor roles.
The couple drove over from Omaha hur-
riedly shortly after noon, and going to the
residence of the pastor of the First Presby-
terian Church asked to be married. He
informed them that they would need a Ii
cense, and as the prospective bride and
groom were in great hurry he went with
them to the courthouse, where the neces-
sary document was secured, and they were
married in the Clerks Office. They de-
parted hurriedly and arrived at the theater
in Omaha after the curtain had gone up,
the groom appearing in his part as Sven
gall only half made up.
The groom left for San Francisco this
evening and the bride for New York,
where she is said to be due for an engage
ment with one Of the Hoyt plays.

SW|NDLED BY A GUEST.
Operations Of a Man Who
Posed as General Miles
Protege.
Secured a Loan on the Pretense
That His Father Was In
Trouble.

CHICAGO, Ill, Sept. 25.-The police
visited Fort Sheridan to-day in search of
William P. Curtain, alias William P.
Herod, who is wanted for defrauding a
Mrs. Camfield out of $500. Early in May
last he arrived in Chicago bearing letter
of introduction which purported to be
from Major-General Nelson S. Miles, in
PRODUCING hIm as the son of a wealthy
Californian, associated with the late Sena-
ator Leland Stanford in his wine-growing
interests in the Golden State. With this
letter Curtain introduced himself to Mrs.
Mary Camfield, the widow of a once promi-
nent naval officer, who conducts fash
ionable boarding house in the southern
portion of the city.
For a while Curtain made himself agree
able and spent money lavishly, evidently
having a considerable amount at his dis
posal. Mrs. Camfield introduced him into
the best society. Early in August Curtain
made visit to New York and during his
absence Mrs. Camfield received telegram
for her guest, which was delivered on his
return. On opening the telegram and
reading its contents Curtain informed Mrs.
Camfeld that his father had been unfo1-
tunate enough to be passenger, on an
overland train that had been held up by
bandits and had asked for loan until he
could reach Chicago.
Curtain had not the cash to forward to
his parent and asked Mrs. Camfield if she
would not advance the necessary amount
until his father should arrive, when it
would be refunded with interest Believ-
ing that her guest was all that he repre-
sented himself to be she went to the bank,
where she drew $500 and handed it over
to the son for transmission to the father.
This was the last seen of Curtain. Mrs.
Camfeld became suspicious and Instituted
inquiries regarding her guest.
She found that he was an ex-soldier who
had deserted from the Fourth United
States Cavalry, to avoid being tried for
theft committed at the post where he was
serving. She discovered that the Califor-
nian had been enlisted at the army re-
cruiting rendezvous, 433 South State street,
by Captain Read, giving the name of Will
liam P. Herod, and had been forwarded to
the recruiting depot at Fort Sheridan
with other recruits. This discovery was
made known to the police, but he had
gone.
AS it now stands, Curtain, alias Herod
if apprebended, will have to answer to the
charge of fraud and theft to the civil, and
two charges of desertion and one of fraud
ulent enlistment to the military, authori-
ties.

audience before him had gone and were
willing to go again.
This subtle reference presumably to old
time Fenian dynamite expeditions evoked
much applause.
John Mcnamara of Ohio, the conven-
TONS leading speaker, denounced the new
English government as the bitterest and
most unrelenting enemy of Irish liberty,
which had swept away the fruits and
labors of twenty years. Moral suasion,
he said, was dead policy, and all that re-
manned was the field and the sword
There were loud cries for z. J. lyman,
but the hour for adjournment had passed,
and after O'Connor Mclaughlin of New
York had been designated as official re-
porter of the National movement the con-
vention adjourned.
The committee on resolutions went into
executive session at o'clock this evening.

The possession of this power was not to
be tested by comparing the work of this
year with the work of ten years ago, for
this power should be increasing power and
the question should be, Was the success

early until late. The city is filled with
ministers and 1aymen and the formal
opening of the conference took place this
morning. The attendance at the opening
sessions was small.
Bishop Warren addressed the bly,
earnestly. He reminded the pastors that
some times God calls a man to work in
his vineyard, but if the man is unworthy
or slothful in the following of his calling
the calls are withdrawn, and that it might
be that there were among the members in
the conference some from whom the call
had been withdrawn. He urged that the
pastors examine themselves to discover if
they were still in the ministry of God or
only in the employ of the church.
When God called man he gave him
power for the work, said the Bishop.

work. Mr.. Jewell said that Christianity
was greatly needed upon the Pacific Coast
on account of the diversity of civilization
and the issues which come with it. The
church came to purify the intellect, clarity

Rev., Homer Eaton, DID,, of New York

himself as plain business man, devoid of
eloquence. His address was full of wit
and telling anecdotes. He professed to

presented the report of the committee on
credentials at the morning session OF the

Gated that over 800 delegates wele present.
President Rowland invited Lieutenant u.
P. Blow, U. S. N, and Thomas Munro, an
engineer of Canada, to seats on the plat
form as representatives of the two Gov
ernments. 1t was explained, however, that
the Governments would not be bound by
anything done at the convention. d. s..
McGinnis of st. Paul was invited by Presl-
dent Rowland to preside over the conven
ton.
George H Anderson of Pittsburg said
that the advocates of the Lake Erie and
Pittsburg ship canal were heartily in favor
of the deep waterway to the sea. "1s a
type of vessel to navigate fresh and salt
water practicable?" was the subject OF a

SAID TO HAVE WITHDRAWN.
Run,or That Harrison Has Giren
WnM to McKinLcX.

CHICAGO, ILL, Sept. pa special to a
morning paper from New York says:
1t is said upon the authority of Repub-
lican leader of national reputation that
Benjamin Harrison has withdrawn from
the Presidential race and has named Will
liam Mckinley as his residuary legatee.
More than the semblance of truth is
given to this report by the fact that
Charles W. Fairbanks, Mr.. Harrison 8
personal representative and the leading
candidate for United States Senator. is in
the city and that he had several confer
ences with Ex-Governor Foraker, whose
mission, it is openly stated, was to effect
with Senator Quay an nti-Harrison COM
bination in the interest of Mckinley. Mr..
Fairbanks unexpected appearance on the
scene may render the formation of such a
combination unnecessary.
