NELLIE BLY, MARRIES.
SHE IS NOW AN OLD MANS OAR
LING.
Met Her Fate But n Short Time Be
fore the Bonds-He is Multi
millionaire and Seventy Years of
Age.

New York. April 1.-THE Morning Ad-
vertiser says: NELLY Bly," who is one
of the best known newspaper women in
the country, is no longer Miss Elizabeth
Cochran. She is now Mrs. Robert Sea-
man. Her husband is one of the di-
rectors of the Merchants Exchange Ma
tional bank, and a multi-millionaire. He
is nearly 20 years old. In business and
financial circles he is quite as well known
as his wife is to the devotees of the
Sunday newspapers. The reports of their
marriage, which came from Chicago,
were quite correct. 1t occurred April
Epiphany, in Ashland avenue, of that
city. The Rev. T. II. Morrison performed
the ceremony. The contracting parties
had met at a dinner in the Auditorium
hotel two weeks before and conceived an
instant attachment.
Mrs. Seaman was interviewed last night
by d reporter, and said:

ried to Mr.. Seaman in Chicago. He left
the following day for New York. Owing
to my business affairs and to his we
both desired to keep it a secret for a
time. 1t is his wish as soon as arrange
announcement of the wedding. Sickness
in my own family also caused US to de-
lay it's publication"
Miss Cochrane did her first newspaper
work on the PittSburg Dispatch, which
was when she was 10 years old She has
been engaged in similar work in New
York for eight years and has become
famous for the sensational character of
her contributions to newspaper literature.
One of her first exploits was to feign
insanity and get herself incarcerated in
the Blackwell Island asylum for the
purpose of describing her experiences.
Her trip around the world in seventy
two days in 1890 gave her considerable

Senator Thurston denied that he had
changed his views on financial questions
during his tour in the west. He had al
ways declared himself in harmony with
the Republican national platform favor
ing American bimetallism. He was
strongly opposed to the opening of the
mints to the free coinage of the silver
product of other countries until an inter-
national bimetallic agreement had been
reached. He was in favor, however, of
the free coinage of the American product
under legislation which would maintain
the equal purchasing and debt-paying
power of all American dollars.
Senator Thurston predicted that the
next Congress would give no financial
legislation for the reason that while
there was a majority for free silver in the
Senate, the president undoubtedly stood
committed TO the gold standard. So soon
as one political party is in power in all
branches, Mr.. Thurston predicts legisla-
ton on the silver question, but not be-
fore. Such legislation, when it comes, he
adds, cannot be expected to meet the de-
mandS of the extremists on either side.
It would be the result of compromise.
Mr. Thurston expressed the belief that
the business paralysis was the result of
the abandonment of protection, but he
had seen signs Of improvement during his
western tour.

San Francisco, April 13-The sudden
disappearance in this city of William
Henry Allen, who was supposed for TWEEN
ty years to be dead, surprised a great
many property owners, because Allen at
ono time owned lands in the heart of the
city now valued at S14000,000. The records
