ciates in this city. who knew him q month ago
when he was practically penniless.
The courtship which eliminated In the
nuptials lasted two hours only. Carraway was
playing O weeks engagement in st. Augustine

TWO MISSING sTEAMsHIPS.
Fears That tho FreIEht-rs AxAiea ana strath-
mesa Have Gone Down.

BALTIMORE. Jan. s.-ShippinR circles are dis
cussing the probable fate Of the British steam
ships Azalea and strathness, which are long
overdue. and for whose safety grave fears are
felt The Strathness. which belongs to the strath
line of Glasgow. sailed from London on Dec. 1
for Baltimore direct. Tho day on which she
should have arrived went by, and nothing was
heard from her until the British steamship
Aon arrived at St. Michael's. Azores. q few
days ago and reported that she fell
in with the StrAthness in midocean and that
the shaft OF the steamer was broken. She towed
the disabled vessel Tor ten days nearly to st.
Michaol's, when n gale sprung up and the tow
line parted. By, this timeth Acon was short OF
coal and had to let the disabled steamer 20.
Since then violent gales have prevailed, and 1t
10 feared the helpless Strathness was In a sorry
plight to weather them. A tug has been sent out
from st. Michaels TO seek.for her, but as yet has
met with no success.
The Strathness is under charter TO the Atlantic
Transport line, and Is the third steamship of the
strath line recently TO break her shaft at sea.
The S~trathmore was towed Into St Johns, n. f..
and the Strathpeyis into ID rlaware Breakwater.
The steamship Azalea belongs TO the stag line,
and was an old trader TO this port She sailed
from here In November with q cargo of grain for
Stettin, Germany. and has not been seen or
heard from since.
