Ezeta's FIance WEEDS Another.

New York, June S.-Miss Ida Dent
Wright, daughter of Mrs. Marie Rob-
inson Wright, was married to DR.. Wal
ter =. Seymour, of Boston, yesterday.
Especial interest is attached to this
wedding because of the fact that the
bride, who is native of Atlanta, was
at one time engaged to General Antonio
Ezeta, vice president of San Salvador.
The revolution in San Salvador caused
a postponement Of the wedding. When
the Eketa brothers were overthrown,
General Dzeta escaped to San Fran
cisco on board the United States battle
ship Bennington. The extradltion pro-
ceedings brought by the new San Sal
vador government for the possession of
General Ezeta was matter of great
public interest in the summer of 1894.
Miss Wright worked hard in the in
terests of her flance. A few months
later the engagement Of General Ezcta
and Miss Wright was broken by mutual
consent. but the two remained firm
friends.

A DISASTROUS CLOUDBURST.
ItHas Caused Serious Havoc In French
Border Towns.

Paris, June 8..-The latest details
from Grenoble, in the department of
Isere, show that the desolation wrought
by the cloudburst which caused the
River Norge to overflow its banks is
far more extended than was at first
supposed. The deuge of water caused
enormous landslides of trees and sand
from the mountains into the valleys,
overwhelming houses, burying cattle
and destroying other property. In many
villages the fleeing inhabitants left
everything behind them. Almost all
the riverside factories were destroyed,
and no fewer than 500 workshops were
wrecked.
The town of Voiron presents la
mentable appearance. All the bridges
are gone and the streets are filled with
masses Of debris washed out from the
factories and shops, bales of cloth. rolls
of silk and similar manufactured pro-
ducts, while the roads of the town and
the district round about are simply i'm
passable and choked with rocks and
fallen trees or quilted with great wash

workmen are not only without employ

was the thrush of the water that hun
dreds barely escaped with their lives.
In many of the cafes and shops the oc-
cupants were up to their shoulders in
water before they knew what had hap
penod. 1t is reported that family of
six perlshed, but thus far only two
bodies have been found. Many stories
are told of heroic rescues. Along the
whole valley the crops are completely
destroyed.
