With Snug Fortune.
La Grange, Ind, Nov. 30.-A strange
story has developed near Center, a lit.
tie settlement in Steuben county. by
the reunitng of husband and wife after
forty years separation. William Weld
ner disappeared from St. Joseph county,
Mich, then his home, in 1856 His
wife did not give up hope of his return
until 1864, when letter alleged to
have been written by her husband on
his dying bed solved the mystery. The
letter came from Los Angeles, Cal. i,
where Mrs. Weidner believed her hus-
band died. Mrs. Weidner donned
widows weeds and mourned her hus.
band as dead. She subsequently, mar
ried John Tompkins, and to this union
six children were born.
Yesterday Weidner returned to find
his family, little believing that his
wife was alive. He found in gray
headed Mrs. Tompkins the bride of his
youth, and as husband and wife they
will live together again. Weidner
went to the coast to speculate, and sew
eral fortunate business ventures have
Civ him possession of a comfortable
fortune.
The theory is advanced that the let
ters sent Mrs. Weidner was part of a
conspiracy to murder Weidner at the
time, as he was the owner of several
valuable mining claims.

SAN BENlTO SURVIVORS.

Landed In San Francisco, They Cheer
Their Rescuers
San Francisco, Nov. 80. When the
thirty seven survivors of the crew of
the wrecked collier San Benito were
landed at Mission street wharf by the
steamer Point Arena between 3 and
o'clock this morning, the poor fellows
were still shivering from the thorough
chilling they received while clinging
to the rigging so many hours waiting
to be saved. AS they climbed on the
dock, they gathered in group, of
which Captain Smith was the center,
and gave succession of rousing cheers
for the crew of the Point Arena. Then
the shipwrecked men quickly scattered
to their homes, most of them having
families
Many of the San Benitos men were
pltiable pictures as they landed. AS
a rule they had more to say in praise Of
their rescuers than OF their own suffer-
ings One and all lauded Mate Louis
Olsen, of the Point Arena, to the skies,
and were full of praise for Peter An
derson, Andrew Lilleland aud Axtel
Henricksen, who, with Olsen in charge,
manned the first boat that approached
the wreck to rescue the men hanging
to the rigging for life.

special from Jacksonville, Fla, says.
Colonel Jose Reyes, aid de. camp of
General Maceo, wounded and en- route
to New York for medical treatment,
and with dispatches to the lunta, passed
through here yesterday. He SAYS the
fighting in the Rubi hills of Pinar del
Rio was the most sanguinary battle Of
the war. He claims 1000 of Weyler's
men We're killed in two days, and twice
as many wounded.

men in three columns, one of 10, 900

General Echague, and third of 5 900
under General Munzo They found
Maceo entrenched in crescent shaped
range of hills. When at the foot of the
hills the Spaniards were met with a
withering fire that cut gaps in their
ranks. Maceo's men shot from behind
rocks and trees, and gradually gave
way before the Spaniards, who, en-.
couraged by what they thought to be
a victory, pursued them.
Suddenly deafening explosion rent

by Linn, and more havoc was wrought
In the mine explosion, Colonel Reyes
says, Weyler lost 700 men killed, and
800 more in charging, besides 600
wounded.
Next day, Maceo, knowing of the re.
serve force under Weyler, retreated to
even a stronger position. Then he was
attacked by the column under Echague,
who was roundly thrashed and driven
from the field, losing 500 men killed.

Red Bluff, Cal, Nov. 26.-The
grand jury of this county, which ad-
journed this morning, states in its re-
port that the district attorney had sub
mitted to it testimony taken at the
preliminary examination in the case of
the people versus Joe Sousa, an IL.
year-old boy, charged with the murder
of his stepfather, A. G. Nunes, and
asked the advice of the grand jury as
to what further action he should take
in said case and that the grand Jury,
after full examination of all the cir.
cumstances connected with the case and
also considering the tender age of the
defendant, did not believe that jury
would convict Defendant, therefore,
recommended the district attorney to
take steps towards dismissing the case.
District Attorney Andrews states that
he will probably comply with the rec
ommendation Of the grand jury in the
near future.
Nunes was killed by young Sousa at
Battle Creek, this county, October 20,
while in the act of beating his wife,
Sousa's mother, with stick of wood,
