YACHT NEPTHINA.
Rumor That She Was Scised by
Spanish War Ship.


Spanish War Ship.
1t is reported that a cable dispatch has
been received at New Orleans from w. A.
Gordon, at Havana, saying that the we'll
known cruising yacht Nepthina Of New
Orleans was overhauled Wednesday even
ing by Spanish warship and towed into
Havana. The people on the yacht are now
In the Spanish prison in Havana, according
to this dispatch.
The Nepthina is well known to all MEM
bers of the Southern Yacht Club. She left
New Orleans a few weeks ago for an ex-
tended cruise, having taken on board the
owners, Messrs. Agar and Dudley, together
with a small party recruited from the mem
bership of the cotton exchange. The OBJ
ject of the trip was distinctly pleasure, and
the suspicion of action with any filibuster-
ing expedition is considered ridiculous by
the friends of the party, and not to be
worth single moments serious contem-
plation.
No confirmation of the above report can
be had in official quarters here, and 1t is
not credited. The matter has not been re-
ported TO the State Department in any

HAVANA, June 2S.-Nothing is known
up to the present time at the navy depart

story from New Orleans, to the effect that
the American cruising yacht Nepthina Of
the Southern Yacht Club, having on board
party from the New Orleans cotton ex-
change, has been overhaued by Spanish
warship, towed into Havana and her pas
sengers thrown into prison.

TWAS A PUT uP JOB.
Eycrett handle Hnd Violated His Marriage
Vows. But Was Not a BizamIst.

Magistrate Daley had an unusual case
to preside over last night. It was one of
those which link pity with notoriety,
telling OF the intldelity OF a husband the
sorrow that came to the wife and the
shame and crime OF another girl
Bigamy was the crime Everett Handle
Mus arralRned. 1t was made by Adolphus
Way in behalf Of bis daughter. Apetta
Way. 1t endsd by the alleged bigamlst
being acquitted and the girl being held
for court TO answer the charge OF forgery
and perjury.
Kandle's iirst wife was fret examined.
She was married TO Kandle In Cam.en, ~
j.. in August. 1890. but her life had not
been happy one. Shs had been oom-
PEELED to have her husband arrested for
assaultinR her. She had heard that her
husband was untrue to her, but she lived
with him for her ohIldren's sake.
The alleged vile, or Anetla Way, swore
that she was married to Handle ln Cam.
den on July 4, 1894, BY Rev. W. II. Burrell,
who had before married the accused.
Handle was the father of her child, which
had died short time after birth. This
the accused did not deny, but he denied
ever marrying the witness.
lie swore that the marriage certificate
was forgery and that the girl aud her
mother, Mary A. Way had secured It. He
gave the women, he said. money to pur-
chase It and the girl filled In the name OF
the minister, This was done, he claimed,
to deceive the father, who was demanding
that he marty Anetta. After the oertifI
cate was made the father accepted 1t as
genuine.
Anetta was recalled. She broke down
and told the whole story of how her
mother bought the certificate and she
hlled 1t up.
The girl gave a specimen of her writing.
1t and the writing on the certificate was
exactly alike.
The mother was sworn and denied her
daughters story aud persisted that Auetta
and khndie were married.
While this testimony was being heard
Handle and the girl were busily talking,
while the lawful wife sat In corner
OF the room, tears running down her
cheeks. She sobbed aloud as her hus
band told Of his doings with the Way
girl.
Handle was dismissed by the Justice
with severe reprimand. Anetta Way
was held for the upper court on \ charge
OF perjury ana forgery. As her parents
are poor and she could not secure bail she
wns locked up. Magistrate Daley said
that he believed the mother to be equally
as guilty as tho daughter but he did not
hold her. The CAGE will be investigated.
The girl broke down and begged not to
be sent To jail. Handle was greatly inter-
ested IN the girls fate and tried to quiet
her uftor his wife had gone home. He
paid the costs In the case.

Fire Boss Davis Probably Responsible for
the Wiikesbarre Mine Disaster.
WILEEsBARRE, Pa, Oct. 9-The debris
In the Dorranoe mine was cleared up by 2
o'clock last evening, and search of all the
breasts and gnngways failed to reveal any
more bodies. The list of dead will there
fore not exceed five, unless Blanchard and
Miller, who are in the hospital, should die.
The feeling in mining circles is that
Fire Boss Davis was to a great extent re-
sponsible for the disaster. He had no
business to allow the engineering corps to
enter the old chamber until he had first
ascertained whether or not there was any
gas in the place, He carried safety lamp,
while the surveyors had naked lights. AL
though Davis had been in that part of the
mine short time before, and had found
no gas, minors say that does not exoner-
ate him, as gas in q mine will sometimes
accumulate very rapidly. As the man
paid the penalty for his own negligence, II
such 1t was, the public is not inclined to
censIIre him, but rather to extend SYM
pathy to his afflicted family.
