MISS WHITNEY ENGAGED.
The Ee-Secretary's Daughter Will Wed
ALBIeric III. Paget.

NEW YORK, N. Y, July 2.-The latest
social topic of conversation in local and
Newport society is the announcement of
the engagement OF Miss Pauline Whitney,
daughter of ex-Secretary Whitney, and
Almeric H. Paget of st. Paul, MINI.
Colonel G. NJ. B. Harvey, the ex-Secre-
tary's representative in this city, is said to
authority for the announcement. Colonel
Harvey could not be seen to-day, but his
representative was authorized to confirm
the statement. He did not know If date
had been fixed for the marriage.
Almeric II. Paget is a young son of
well-known English family of that name.
He has lived in the West since he came to
this country, about four years ago, and is
said TO have accumulated fortune there.
For several years Mr.. Paget has been
managing representative for very large
English real-estate company, with head
quarters at st. Paul, MINI. He is not
much over 30 years of age, and Miss Whit
ney is about 20. Sne is really very hand
some girl, tall and very swinsome of dispo-
sition and unusually well educated.

their campaign work is marked by lack
OF vim that is particularly noticeable.
Sir Wilfred Lawton, the head and front
Of the temperance sect in the House OF
Commons, managed. to be again returned
despite the opposition to the local veto
bill, but his majority was cut down from
III to 241. Even this, however, Is looked
upon as a sort of victory by the Liberals.
There are now in the neighborhood OF
seventy-fve districts to hold elections, but
the returns from these will materially re-
duce the Unienist majority. Some Union
lists claim, perhaps with reason, that they
are bound to make gains in some OF these
districts, while the more conservative cam,
paigners believe that the net. result will
show little change either way in the COM
will be held on Saturday in the northea st
division of Derbyshire and the Wellington
division of Somerset.

MURDERED By COMPANIONS.
Mystery Surrounding the Finding or 1fco
Skeletons Cleared.

Mystery Surrounding the Finding OF dfco
Skeletons Cleared.
WINSTED, Conn, July 4.-In June
last, while Samuel Barlow was exeavatlng
on his land in Canaan, he unearthed two
skeletons, whose discovery recalled the
fact that during the construction OF the
old Connecticut Western Railway, about
twenty-five years ago, two laborers, Nike
Houlihan and his nephew Patrick, sud
denly disappeared, after having engaged
in a row with their fellowworkmen,
though little was then thought of their
disappearance. The find gave the I'M
preston that the two men were made away
with by the men whom they had whipped.
Now comes letter from San Jose, CAL.
from man named SIattery, who was one
of the laborefs on the railroad at that
time, and who gives the story OF the muir
der. :,
He saws he knew the two men well,
and also knew another fellow namad Pat
rick Heulihan, with whom he bunked at
the time. Big Mike and Ryan assaulted
and robbed Patrick Houlihan, and the lat
ter, with his friends, laid in wait for and
Jumped on the two men. Slattery was in
the party, but when be found murder was
intended, he left.
In 1889 he met Houlihan on a railroad in
Oregon, and on his death bed the latter
confessed that he had killed Mike by strik-
ing him on the head. Houlihan, he said,
confessed to Father Doolan of Sequelan,
Or, who would verify the story. Slattery
was moved to write his letter upon reading
an account of the finding of the skeletons.

it. Their energies are now devoted to

SPORTS TAPPED THE Wires.
ut Least the Po0Iroom Men THINKS Thes
We're Sscind{ed.

CHICAGO, ILL, July "a. A special
from Memphis, Tenn, says: Two strange
sports took $210O out of the cash box OF c..
G. Bennett & Co.'s poolroom at Hopsfield,
Ark, yesterday by means of timely and
well-placed bets on the Oakley races, and
when it was all over BENEFITS manager be-
gan to realize what had struck the game.
By that time, however, the willy couple had
departed with their gains.
The supposition is that the wires were
tapped and the poolroom made the victim
of sure-thing play. The poolroom is now
convinced that the wire was tapped and the
races held until the sports could get their
money on. The Western Union men here
are investigating.
