bridges and sending score of human
beings into eternity. The storm is

History of the Case.

Washington, Aug. 1S.-The steamer
Laurada, referred to in the Madrid dis
patch, has figured frequently in the
claims made by Spanish authorities
that American merchants were engaged
in filibustering operations. In January
last the then captain of the vessel was
indicted in the federal courts of South
Carolina, but was acquitted after a
jury trial. Frequent reference has been
made to the experience of the Laurada
at many ports in May last. The cap
tain on that OCCASION failed to take out
health papers required by the law, and
this led to the surveillance of the Lau-
rads by the Spanish war vessels. 1t is
claimed that ten Cubans were thrown
into the water after the Spanish war
vessel put in an appearance. Il was
also represented at the time of the ap-
pearance of the Spanish cruiser that
thirty men were drowned, owing to the
precipitated haste in getting ashore to
avoid apprehension. The Spanish au-
thorities claimed that the United States
had taken no proceedings toward ap.
pretending the vessel or arms in acorod-
ance with the neutrality law.

CORNWELL'S THREE WIVES.
Dead Engineers Widows Surprise Each
Other at the Funeral.

Dead Engineers widows Surprise Each
Other at the Funeral.
San Francisco, Aug. 1S.-George w.
Cornwell, the Oldest locomotive en-
gineer on the coast division of the
Southern Pacific, died recently, and at
his funeral three women appeared, each
claiming to be his widow. Two used
the name of Mrs. Cornwell. but the
third said she had been married to the
deceased under the name of George
Parker. The one of the three who has
known Cornwell longest is known as the
San Jose widow, because she resides in
that city. She declares the dead en-.
gineer is the father of her son, aged 30.
Cornwell lived with her from 1860 to
1879. Then he met and married the
woman who is known as Mrs. Corn.
we'll, at 1902 Howard street. In 1888
Cornwell met Mrs. Parker, and, telling
her his name was the same as that of
her former husband, George Parker,
married her. He installed her in a
house block from that of Mrs. Corn.
we'll No. 2. Mrs. Parker knew nothing
of the other two wives, and No . was
not aware of the existence of No. 3, in
whose house he died. The engineer
was 80 years old, and had been on the
Pacific coast thirty.six years, all of the
time in the employ of the Central and
Southern Pacific railroads. He leaves
only about $1,000, his earnings having
all gone to support his numerous wives
