TRUE TO HIS LOVE
EX-BANKER SPAULDING MAR
RIEs HIS sTENoGRAPHER
She Was the Woman Who Caused His
Ruin--The Marriage Takes Place
in Jail-A Romance

CHICAGO, July 23.-Charles Warren
Spaulding, the convicted ex-president of
the Globe Savings bank, and Sarah Louise
Erwin, his former stenographer. were mar
ried here today. The ceremony was per
formed by clergyman whose name the
parties interested will not divulge.
Spaulding IS serving an indetermnate
sentence in the Joliet penitentiary for
wrecking the Globe Savings bank, but for
two weeks has been In the Cook county jail,
where he was brought on writ of habeas
corpus, in order to act as witness in n
suit growing out of the banks affairs. Miss
Erwin was the young woman on whom
Spaulding lavished money and property be-
fore the collapse of the bank, and they
have been anxious to marry ever since
Spaulding's former wife secured divorce
The Jail authorities refused to permit the
ceremony without the permission of War
den McClaughrey Of the penitentary. Al
ter consulting the governor, Major Nc
Claughrey gave his consent, and Spauding
today procured the license. The place
where the marriage occurred cannot be
learned. Two young men from the office
of Spauldng's attorneys were the wit
nesses. An hour after the ceremony the
ex-banker was back In his cell In Jail and
the bride had gone away with her father.
In the license Spauldng's age is given a
IS and that OF Miss Erwin as 30.

A DEADLY SURPRISE
Government Arms the Porto Rico
Troops With Krag-J orgensons

NEW YORK, July ga special to the
Times from Washington says:
At least 81. 900 of the volunteers who go to
Porto Rico are to be supplied with the Krag-
Jorgenson magazine rifle used by the reg
ular army. This announcement made by
the ordnance department came as a sur
prise, the understanding having been that
the supply of the improved guns would not
permit of their being served out to the vol
unteer troops for some months to come.
The ordnance department was content to
let that impression prevail so long as it was
not prepared to controvert it with overt evil
dence In the shape of arms themselves, but
it has been straining every energy to &C
cumuate a stock of the rifles in order to
begin their issue generally as soon as posi-
BILE.
For the Porto Rico expedition, which will
be made up chiefly of volunteer regiments
now equipped with the Springfield i5-calber
arm, the department proposes to supply one
entire corps of about 20 zoo men with Krag-
Jorgensons. 1t may not be able TO deliver
all these guns to the men before they sail,
but they will follow them to the island as
rapidly as possible, Just what regiments
will receive the new arms depends upon
General Miles, to whom they will DO sent
for distribution.
Some difficulty Is being experienced In
keeping up with the supply of ammunition
for the S0-caliber rifle. While the govern
ment is taking the maximum output of all
the cartridge manufacturers who can pro-
duce this ammunition, the quantity needed
per man and the rapidity with which 1t dis
appears when the army is doing any fight
ing, has more than kept pace with the in
creased producing capacity of the factories.
The output has not been what II was ex-
pected either, so that even If the govern
ment had enough Krag-Jorgensons to
equip the entire volunteer army It would not
be able to supply 1t with the proper ammu-
milton. This trouble will be obvated In the
course Of a short time, however, so that be-
fore the campaign against Havana begins
II Is within the probabilities that nearly all
the volunteers will have modern rifles,

AMATEUR OARSMfN
LAST DAY OF THE NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION RACES
Several Magnificent Contests Among
the Crews-Victories Won by
Feet Not Boats Lengths

PHILADELPHIA, July 23.-The second
and last day of the annual regatta of the
National Association of Amateur Oars
men saw what was probably the finest Sc
ries of races ever seen at a national regat-
ia. In three events only a few feet separ-
ated the first and second crews. The most
sensational race Of the day was the eight
Dared shell, which the Pennsylvania Barge
clubs champion eight captured from the
Argonauts of Toronto by a few feet, after
a grand struggle
The weather was perfect. Between 30 900
and 10000 persons congregated along the
river to watch the races. Two of the cham
pionships were captured by Philadelphia
crews. Ten Eyck won the senior single
championship, while the Western Boating
club of st. Louis carried off the honors of
the intermediate four-oared shell race. The
Argonauts captured the senior information
al four cared shell event. and Amos Ku-
blk of Springfield, Mass, won the interme-
diate single scull race.
In the intermediate four-oared shell race
the Sewanhaka crew Of New York was ruled
out for not correctly turning the three
quarter flag.
There were three starters in the interme-
diate four-oarded race. The st. Louisans
won by one second.
The eight-oared shell race was the most
sensational that was ever rowed on the
national course. The crews that faced the
starter were the Worcester high school of
Worcester Mass; the Fairmounts Of Phil
adelphia, the Penns ylvania Barge club of
Philadelphia and the Argonauts of Toronto.
Not one of the eights had ever been de-
feated. From the three-quarters flag to
the finishing point 1t was a magnificent
struggle between the Philadelphia cham
pions and the Argonauts. By grand
squirt. Pennsylvania managed to cross tbs
line first, five feet In front of the Canadians.
The time, 7;4oik, is the best ever made over
this course under similar conditions. Wor-

Paris. The Assistant Commissioner will

islation will impair the selection Of the
United States exhibits, as many intending
exhibitors have already withdrawn, ow-
ing to insufficient time TO manufacture
certain things contemplated. This rs es-
pecially true Of the electricity department.
Other nations have been at work for more

COLLAPSE OF A STORY
An Alleged Swindler Turns Out to Be
the Fruit Mems Best Friend

RIVERSIDE. Cal. July 23-Some days
ago q story was telegraphed from this city
to the effect that a number of fruit men OF
Moreno had been swindled by fruit buyer
who purchased q carload of apricots OF
them, paying therefor In checks which had
no value when presented to the local bank
In this city.
The truth of the story is that +. J. Hall, a
buyer representing a San Francisco house
did buy the fruit and gave checks In pay
mont, supposing that a remittance of
money had been sent to the bank by the
San Francisco parties to meet them. In
fact the money had been sent but failed tc
arrive in time. hence the cause of worry.
In due time the bills for the fruit were
paid and no one loses anything by The
transaction. The fruit was paid for by
Hall before 1t was shipped.

to go back by the country road, but to
make detour of the woods. as danger was

DIR. BENJAMIN L. Pope. who was chief
surgeon i'm the Shafter expedition in
cuba. and in charge OF camps at
Tampa, early In its occupancy. said
surgical dressing materials enough to
care for 5000 wounded were taken
aboard the transports. The supplies CT
drugs. however. did not keep up with
the demand at the camp, and he toie-
full supply. A part of these then sent

ascribed the woes OF the medical depart

sale abandonmcnt OF the regimental
outfits Of medicines and stores by the
regiments. He did not know who was
responsible for this. but conceded IL was
hardly likely that So sweeping an absn-
donment would have been made save
on orders from Major General Shafter,
who commanded. He admitted that
some seriously wounded were loaded In
heavy. jolting army wagons, and that
this aggravated the suffering. but he
only knew of one instance i'm which
death might be ascribed to such trans
