wonld not reach the town until 10, by
which time I would bo on my wny to
the asylum, II not on my way to per-

oil l could bear. told the physician

the situhtion, and all he did was to
say he understood perfectly, and
that we wero only going for drive
into the country to visit come OF
Georges friends who were anxious TO
entertain us for few days. All this
time tho nurse wns getting me rcndy
for my trip, and l was doing all ]
could to gain delay Of an hour until
the train should come, and prayed
that it would not be late.
despite all efforts to the contrary,
the nurse reported me ready for the
carriage which was in waiting at the
prison door, and they picked mo up
and carried me out to 1t. There was
quite crowd around the place all
curious, of course. and il had good
effect upon me, for instead OF Great.
ing any disturbance, 1 submitted
quietly in order not to make a scene.
The physician, George aud the nurse
got into the carriage after me, and We
started away for the horrid asylum i
composed myself for whatever might
come now, and sat silent, gazing out
of tho carriage window. when, as we
turned into tho open space at the rail-
road station, which we had to pass,
saw my own physician and Georges
attendant. In second had smashed
the carriage window, aud thrusting
out my head screamed for help, call
ing the doctor by name. They were
only the width of street away, and
as the driver of the carriage did not
know anything about what was going
on, he stopped to SEQ what was wrong
and the next minute I was out of tho
carriage and had tainted in the ply si-
clans arms"
The major was about TO remark that
the one regret of his life was that lie
was not that physician, but the widow
had her mind and her tongue on her
story, and once more flew away from
the major.
"Of course, explanations were in
order, and it was not long before the
true state of the case was made known,
greatly to tho astonishment of every
body except George. He took it ms a
matter OF course, and laughed over 1t
as great joke, without apparently
understanding what he had done, and
he went back to town with us Us SUBJ
missivoly rs could be, never losing
his temper in the slightest degree.
Within couple of months after that
he grew rapidly worse, and death soon
brought him blessed relief" Here
the widow hesitated and sighed.
"And may say blessed relief to mo
as well, for 1 would have lost my
mind, am sure"
At this point the widow stopped
long enough to give the major an OPP
portunity to make few remarks,
which he did adviscdly, seeing that
the major, on general principles, rc.
CARDS widows pretty much as did the
father Of tho late Sam Weller. =.

Some one is expected daily to appear
with bill of sale of all the personal
property, signed by the fleeing wife for a
fraction of its value.
Before departing on the night train as
described Ward made display of wealth
to disprove the assertion that he was pen-
nIess, and either by mistake or with in
tent to create a sensation he is So id to have
given So gold piece TO an East Los Ange-
les barber an hour before the train took
him north.
For this there is only the BARRIERS word,
but it is generally believed. Colonel Brad
bury appears quite regularly on the
street and at the club. and the only
thing that has seemed to ruffle his
complacency is the discovery of the fact
that his pretty wife had in anticipa ton
of her skipping out with the English polo
player bought some thousands of dollars
worth of dry goods, gloves and lingerie
which could be utilized for stocking a
small store when hard times overtake the
elopers. but for the fact that the lady had
her new garments all marked with Ward s
name.

his scheme.
Mrs. Bradbury left the city with ward
robe sufficient to equip her for a long time
IN all kinds of society. Ward is supposed
TO have enough clothes to run him some
time on trip either 10 Australia or Paris
Despite the denial of the interested par
ties it is generally believed a certain Los
Angeles woman, who was Mrs. Brad bury's
closest female friend, did much to engi-
neer this elopement from its inception,
which must have been weeks ago.
The theory that the Il ght was the out
come OF the jubilee day scrape at Santa
Monica, or a sudden whim, is exploded
by later developments showing preme edi-
lation at much earlier date, and those
who assume 10 know assert that when Mrs
Bradbury tells her story, which she is
expected to do when the excitement of
her infatuation wears off, a new phase
will be put upon the causes that led up to
the sensation.
The feeling is such in Los Angeles to-
day that were Ward to appear upon the
streets or in the California Club, where
he is in arrears to the extent of $40O, he
would receive some extremely rough
handling on account of the disgrace he
has brought upon the Banning family.

by Mary H. Beaie- Board against Florence
Blythe Hinckley and Mrs K. Z. Perry
Burn. Two seemingly commonplace
Items of scarcely passing interest, yet be-

pathos-the story of man Of good fam

who, unwilling to see his wife and baby

promises which were never fulfilled, and
finally spurned by her wealthy patrons
because she married a man not of their
choice.
The history dates back some years. 1t
begins some ten years ago, when Florencs

Mary Beale, just over from England, took
little Florence out for her little walks !;
when Richard 7. Board assisted his ia her

FIGEL'S FIGHT
FOR FREEDOM
An Exciting Skirmish May
Take Place on Thurs
day, July 8.
His Attorneys Anxious to Have
the Murder Charge Disposed
of First.
Meanwhile the Accused Is Not
Losing Any Sleep Over His
Predicament.

From present appearances there is likely
to be a hot skirmish when the charges
against Theodore Figel are called for
hearing on the 8th OF this month. The
question in contention will be which OF
the charges is 10 be heard and tried first.
So far as the defense is con cerned they
are more than willing to have the capt. al
charge disposed OF before the others.
They are apprehensive, however, that the
prosecution may decide to bring up one
of the EN- bezzlement or forgery charges
when the cases are called on Thursday
next. They are led to infer this from the
manner of Judge Murphy at the time the
murder and other charges were on the
calendar for the arraignment of the ac-
cused.
Should there be any attempt to side
track, for the time being, the greater ac-
cusation the defense will make strong
fight against such course. They claim
that this would be great injustice, as
during the trial of any of the lesser
charges Figel would necessarily have 10
remain in contne ment, as the murder
charge is not bailable.
1t is proba BILE that if the murder case is
set aside temporarily by the prosecution
the defense m ay resort 10 naDeaS corpus
proceedings to force the issue.
No further charges will be flied against
FigeI for the present. Such was the state
ment of Judge Murphy yesterday. He
added that ne had not yet made any an
plication for assistance from the Police
Department, but would certainly d. o SO In
day or two At the most. He was in COM
munication with Mr.. Ach in reference 10
the matter and would not take any acuon
until he heard from that gentleman.
Meanwhile Figel is taking lie as easy
as the circumstances will permit and
man.fests no apprehension of the future.
He was arrayed in new tweed suit yes.
terday, and spent portion of his time in
playing whist with his visitors or the
trustees of the City Prison.
When Captain Bohen was spoken to
with reference to the proposed action OF
the prosecution to secure special detail
of detectives TO handle the case from the
prosecution standpoint he said that they
were welcome to as many men as they
might require, and that they could select
the men themselves. If they desired,
Bon. Hogan would be placed at their
service.

A SIGH OF RELIEF.
Only Sentim ent Expressed by Los

Elopement

LOS ANGELES, CAL, July 2.-The sigh
of relief uttered by Los Angeles upon
learning positively that H. Russell Ward
and Mrs. John Bradbury had finally left
the city was tampered only by the per-
vading fear that the doping couple may
conclude to soon return.
Colonel John Bradbury, beyond doing
some quiet weeping in the lap OF his
mother, has shown little of the spirit of
an injured husband. 1t was told of him
to-day that he really foresaw the denoue-
pretty doll wife, and actually made some
preparations looking toward her ultimate
departure.
Before it was bruited abroad that his
wife had decamped Colonel Brad bury b ad

QUEEN vICTORIA GRATEFUL.
Letter Expressing Her Appreciation
of the Love of Her Subjects.

London, July 16.-A special supplement-
to the Gazette publishes the following let
ter from the queen to Sir Matthew White
Ridley, the home secretary, dated Wind
sor, July 10: II have frequently expressed
my personal feelings to my people, and
though on this memorable occasion there
have been many of the expressions of my
deep sense of the unbounded loyalty
evinced, I cannot rest satisfied without
personally giving utterance to these sem
timents. 1t Is difficult for me on this ac-
casion to say how truly touched and CRATE
full am for the spontaneous and univer-
sal outburst of loyal attachment and yeal
affection experienced on the completion
of the sixtieth year of my reign.
During my progress through London
on June 20 this great enthusiasm was
shown in the most striking manner and
can never be effaced from my heart. 1t
is, indeed, deeply gratifying after so many
years of labor and anxiety for the good
of my beloved country to find that my
exertions have been appreciated through
out my vast empire. In veal and woe 1
have ever had the true sympathy of all
my people which has been as warmly
reciprocated by myself.
ut has given be unbounded pleasure to
see so many of my subjects from all parts
of the world assembled here and to find
them joining in acclamations of loyal de-
votion TO myself, and 1 would wish to
thank them all from the depths of my
grateful heart
IT shall ever pray God to bless them
and to enable me still to discharge my
duties for their welfare as long as life
lasts"

STILL DIVIDED ON SUGAR.
COMPROMISE NOT YET IN SIGHT IN
THE CONFERENCE.

Possibility That Disagreement
Each Branch of Congress May Give
It's Committee Specific Instruct
ions on the Schedule In Dispute.
House COnferees Said to Insist On
the Adoption of Their Schedule.
Washington, July 16,-The conferees on
the tariff bill are no nearer an agreement
tonight on the sugar schedule, which
continues to be the main bone of conten-
ton, than they were when they began.
Each side is standing out as firmly as ever
for its own rates. The House conferees
are convinced that they can win, support
ed as they are by almost the unanimous
sentiment of their party in the House, and
some of them talk with resignation of re-
naming here all summer rather than
yield to the Senate on this point.
There were rumors during the day that
the Senate conferees were about to sur
render on sugar, but they proved to be
utterly without foundation. Believing that
if the Senate itself were permitted to vote
on the question it would recede from its
rates on sugar there was also talk during
the day of forcing an expression on the
subject from the Senate in some way for
its effect on the conferees, but this, also on
investigation, proved to be little more
than idle gossip.
So far as can be. ascertained, the SEN
ate conferees are as determined as those
of the House not to surrender. There is
little doubt, however, that they would ac-
cept a compromise if the other side would
agree to 1t.
The difficulty is that the House confe-
rees refuse to entertain any proposition
for a compromise Thus far, their ultima
tum has been: THE House schedule or
nothing" While the sugar schedule
blocks the way to an agreement, the con-
ferees have not been idle. Much progress
has been made with the minor features Of
the bill and tentative agreements have
been reached in many of the important
paragraphs.
An influential member of the
House, who is kept Wen advised of the
situation, said tonight that an agreement
could be reached in four hours. OF course,
there is always the possibility that the
conferees may get together at any time,
but as yet there is apparently no pros
pect of breaking the deadlock. If the
present situation continues until Tuesday
or Wednesday next the current opinion
among the members Of the House is that
a disagreement will be reported for the
purpose of giving each house an oppOr-
tunity to instruct it's conferees on the
main obstacle to an agreement.
