of Stores.

Havana, March 26.-The column Of
troops commanded by Col. Pavia has
been engaged with insurgent cavalry,
numbering about 1000 men, under the
leadership of Lacret at the plantation Of

ROBERT MANTELL MARRIES.
His Bride was Divorced Only Yes
terday from Edwin
E. HUM,

Chicago, H., March 26.-Robert Man
tell and Charlotte Behrens, the actress,
were married by Bishop Samuel Fallows
today at the home of Attorney r. A..
Wade Miss Behrens, or Mrs. HUM.
as her name was up to yesterday, is the
leading lady in ManteIls company. She
got a divorce from HUM yesterday IN
Judge Tuley's court. She was married
at ST. Joseph, Mo-, in 1854, being at
that time IL years of age. HUM was
then treasurer Of troupe, but
Mrs. HUM told the court he was not a
saving man. She said her husband was
not able to support her any part of the
five years that she lived with him, but
that, in fact, he depended on her efforts.
When she objected 10 providing him with
means, he left her ut Buffalo and since
then she has hot seen him. Their we'd
ding breakfast, so Mrs. HUM said, was
paid out of her own earnings. Mr.. Man
tell testified that Mrs. HUM had been
with his company for six years and that
during that time she had supported her
self.
1t is said that this was the third at
tempt Mrs. HUM had made to free her
self and either the fair complainant has
found the Chicago divorce courts easier
than others or something has induced her
husband to abandon his opposition, for
he said some time ago that she could new
or marry Mantell.

A TRUNK MYSTERY.
Man Buys a COX at a Chicago AUG
ton Sale and Finds
a Body.

Chicago, Ill, March 27.-The badly de-
composed body Of an unknown man was
found yesterday in a trunk bought at an
auction in Wakem & McLaughlin's ware
house at 504 North Water street. The
auction was the regular disposal of unre-
deemed property. When a large rough
box was brought out bids were made and
the box was knocked down to two men
from the suburb Of Austin, Philip Grief
and Charles Haas. Inside was a square
trunk which was broken open. 1t con-
tanned the badly decomposed body of a
man. On the top of the box was written
&c. M. Morgan, 166 Jefferson court
Chicago" Nothing else was found to
establish former ownership.
j. Wallace Wakem, senior member of
the warehouse firm, said last night: 1.-THE
goods we handle are secured from rail-
roads in the majority Of cases. Uncalled
for baggage is sent to us and we keep it
as long as the law requires. Then, after
proper advertisement, we sell it. / think
this box was sent to us by the Michigan
Central Railroad company. They sent us
lot of baggage q yeas ago and the box,
if | remember correctly. was included.

PREMIUM ON GOLD BARS.
Carlisle Orders it Raised from Lie t
3-16 of 1 Per Cent.

Carlisle Orders it Raised from Lie to
3-16 of 1 Per Cent.
Washington, d. c., March 26.-The
treasury department has instructed the
New York subtreasury to raise the pre-
MUM on gold bars from 1-16 to 3-16 of 1
per cent. The departments purpose in
the issuance Of this order is to do what
can be done legitimately to prevent fut-
ure exports of gold.
The order has triple purpose. First,
it will tend to raise the price at which
gold can be exported proftably, the price
of exchange now being dangerously near
the export point; second, it is regarded
as good policy to get rid of coin instead
of bars because the former frequently
has lost weight through abrasion, and
third, it is intended to meet the action the
Bank of England has recently taken
raising the price of gold bars to II shil-
lings 10 pence and thus practically lower
ing the rate of exchange at which gold
can be shipped from the United States
to Great Britain to about $4.S812 Or
$4.SSA. Treasury officials admit the is
suance of the order but will not talk
further concerning it.
New York, March 26-The assay of
fee has advanced the price of gold bars
from 1-16 to 3-16 per cent. 1t is under
stood that this advance is to offset the
increase on the bid price for American
gold bars in London.

DEATH OF GEN. CASEY.
His Completion of the Washington
Monument was Signal
Triumph.

Washington, %. c., March 25.-Brig.,
Gen. Thomas Lincoln Casey, retired for
many years chief of engineers of the
United States army, died suddenly this
morning.
Gen. Casey's death occurred at his
home instead of the new library build
ing, as first reported. He was taken
sick about IL o'clock at the building he
was experimenting, and was removed
to his home. 1t was thought he was
not seriously i'll, but he grew worse in
the afternoon and suddenly expired.
He had been specially designated by
Congress to take charge of the construc-
ton of the new Congressional library
opposite the capitol and since his. retire
ment from office of chief of engineers,
owing to his having reached the age linn
it at which army officers are retired, he
had devoted most of his time to the con-
etruction of the new library building,
which is opposite the capitol and in
which he died.
He took great interest in this large
work and intended to round out his ca
reer by completing it on time and within
the limit of appropriation fixed by Con-
gress, an unusual thing for government
work. It was largely because of his
reputation in this respect and his high
standing as an engineer that Congress,

ANNIE M'GRATH'S DEATH.
Latest Theory is that She Attempted
to Kill Langden and Then Took
Her Own Life.

Philadelphia, Pa, March 26.-An-
other theory has risen in regard to An
ME McGrath's death. This is to the
effect that the girl, being engaged to be
married to young man whose real
name has not yet appeared, attempted to
sever her relations with Samuel T..
Langden that the latter threatened to
reveal their intimacy if she did so, and
that she, fearing such disclosure, at
tempted to kill him and then committed
suicide
This supposition is borne out by state
ments made by Miss Addie Griffiths, a
friend of Annie, who was with her the
day before her death. She then told
Miss Grifiths that Langden was to
adding: Il am not going to have any
thing more to do with him. | will tell
him when | see him that [ won't keep
his company any more"
On the same occasion Annie COM
planned of toothache and with Miss
Griffiths went to a Chestnut street drug
store and asked for some chlOroform.
1t was not sold to her and she said she
could get it from a dental student whom
she knew.
The statement of Bertha Stewart, the
servant employed in the Girard avenue
house confirms the story that a quarrel
occurred between the couple on the day
the girl UleU.
Nothing definite concerning the use of
poison in the case will be known until
the chemist has made his report on the
analysis of the girls stomach, which will
not be completed for several days. A
number of letters were taken by the de-
tectives from Langden's postoffice box
and several of them were from a girl
employed as a typewriter in a coal COM
pany in Raleigh, n. G. These were
couched in the most loving language.
The inquest will not be held until next
week.
A dispatch from Altoona, Pa, says:
Samuel p Langden. under arrest in
Philadelphia in connection with the death
OF Annie McGrath, organized and built
the Altoona & PhilliDsburg railroad lead
ing from the Beech Greek railroad to the
mines of the United Galleries company
and intending to connect with Altoona &
Wopsonnock road, which is also built
but which has passed out of his control.
Although enjoying the reputation of be-
ing a millionaire the truth is that Lang
den is not wealthy. The United Col
lieries company, Of which he is president,
operates in the Clearfeld region on a
small scale.
A dairy has been found in Langden's
possession which is said to contain under
date of Monday last the entry: annie
died at 1O:14."
Detective Geyer has left the city and
it is understood that he has gone to
Springdale, Pa, for the purpose Of bring
ing Mrs. Langden here.

New York, March 25.-Judge Roger A.
Pryor today dismissed the order to show

effect The case it is intended, shall be
made a tesc of the constitutionahty Of

A PLOT AGAINST FAURE.
A Coalition Formed to Put Prince
Henry of Orleans in the
Presidents Chair.

New York. March ga special to the
World from London says that serious
political movement was involved in the
recent acceptance of honors by Prince
Henry Of Orleans.
On his recent return from an exploring
expedition through Burmah, Siam and
Thibet the prince not only indicated his
willingness to receive the cross of the
Legion of Honor founded by Napoleon
and now administered by the republic)
but made q speech acknowledging the eX-
istence of the republic. That was prac-
tically its first public recognition by any
member of the legitimate family. All
this aroused intensely bitter comment
from his adherents.
Prince Henry even visited the Elysee
to thank President Faure and made a
patriotic speech at dinner given to him
by the Count of Dion, one of Gen. Bou-
langers Warmest supporters in the con-
spiracy few years ago to overturn the
republic.
Prince Henry Of Orleans is the elder
son of the Duke of Charities If the
Duke of Orleans dies unmarried the
Duke of Charities will become the heir
to the kingdom; and his son will be the
heir after him. The Duke of Orleans is
banished from France, and, like his
father before him. has his regular domi-
cile of exile in England.
1t is now reported that coalition has
been formed of the legitimists. who are
disgusted with the Duke of Orleans and
hopeless of his acceptance by the French
people; of Bonapartists. equally hopeless
of the acceptance of Prince Victor or any
other Napoleonic prince, and of the great
me SO of the Bourgeoisie-all three fright
of Radical ideas--this coalitions purpose
being to force the resignation of Presi-
dent Faure and then to offer Prince
Henry as candidate to succeed him.

A gentleman Of methodical
habit, who had adopted the practice
Of retaining a copy Of every pre-
scription issued by his family
physician, became interested as
time went on to note that the same
ingredients were pretty certain
to be prescribed at some point Of
the treatment of every case. For
a poor appetite, or a sore throat,
for restlessness which disturbed
the baby's sleep, and for troubles
which beset the aged grandparents,
the favorite remedy was always
turning up, although slightly
modified from time to time and
used often in conjunction with
others. One day our friend hap
pened to observe that the formula
of a certain advertised remedy was
Identical with the latest prescrip-
ton he had received from his own
physician, and in some surprise
he stated the case to him. The
family doctor, after listening to
what he had to say, replied: "The
case is about this way: Whenever
there is a disturbance Of the
functions of the body, no matter OF
what nature, it is pretty certain to
be accompanied by arrangement
of the digestive organs. When they
are all right the patient gets we'll.
That particular formula that you
have observed me to write more
and more frequently is the result
Of an age Of careful experiment,
and is pretty generally agreed upon
now by all educated physicians who
keep up with the times. The dis
covery Of the past few years of the
means Of reducing every drug to
a powder and COMPRISING the
powders into little lozenges or
tablets, or tabules if you prefer,
which will not break or spoil, or
lose their good qualities from age,
il protected from air and light, is
the explanation of how it has come
about that this prescription is now
for sale as an advertised remedy.
It is the medicine that nine people
out Of ten need every time they need
any, and l have no doubt that
making it so easy to obtain, SO
carefully prepared, and withal so
cheap, will tend to actually prolong
the average of human life during
the present generation
