THREE WIVES AT EIGHTEEN.
An Indiana Youth Claims the Matri-
monial Record.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. 12.-Benson
Eggers, of North Salem. holds the mat
rimonial record for his age. Although
he will not be eighteen years old until
next summer, he has already been the
hero of three marriages, two divorces
and one charge of bigamy. Twice
within year he tried marriage and
found il a failure. Still. so anxious to
give the hymenial state a fair trial was
he that he married third wife before
his second decree of divorce had been
filed.
Eggers. when he was only fifteen
years old in 1895, married young girl
named Brown, and for six months he
enioyed the sweets of married life.
But the boy treated his girl wife with
such cruelty that she brought suit for
absolute divorce, and after paying $3.50
alimony, young Eggers again found
himself free, still gay and susceptible
He only endured his solitary life OF
single blessedness for two months. He
led a fifteen-year-o girl to the altar.
She left him at the end of the honey
moon which only lasted two weeks.
Last week she filed an application for
divorce. on the same grounds which had
released him from his former wife.
Ten days previous to this, however,
Eggers found another blushing bride
in the person of Miss Ethel May Har-
ris, who is now only sixteen years old.
When he courted Miss Harris he told
her that his former wife was dead. 1t
is now said that prosecution for bigamy
will be brought.

THE ASPHALT LANDS IN UTAH
Mr.. Murphy Has Plan for Opening
n WAY for Them.

Hugh Murphy. a well-known asphalt
contractor Of Omaha. Neb., has writ
ten 10 Congressman Mercer, outlining
what he thinks would be a fair way
Of opening up the asphalt lands on the
Uintah and Uncompahgre reservation
in Utah. Mr.. Murphy states his plan
as follows:
Stake the deposits out into claims.
have the claims numbered and the cor
ners Of each claim we'll established
with posts and stones indicating the
boundaries for each claim; give three
to six months time for everyone to eX-
anime and investigate in a reasonable
way what they contained. Then open
them up and auction them off and sell
them to the highest bidder. In this
way the Government would realize
handsomely in the disposal of the as
phalt deposits and would enable men
in the asphalt business of ordinary
means to own their own deposits.
These are the lands in which the st.
Louis Gilsonite Company is interested.
The objection which has been made to
such plan as that which Mr.. Murphy
proposes is that the lands being so far
removed from any railroad route it
would not pay man to work small
claim. and he would be compelled to sell
out to a syndicate which would in time
control the whole output.

The Cuban correspondence Of The
Times affords a clear idea Of stu
alton which could not well be worse
for Spain. 1t is reported that Gen.
Pando has gone insane from chagrin
over his defeats by Garcia and Rabi,
and that he is using up what little was
left of his army in objectless night
marches and other crazy maneuvers.
1t is strange that Blanco permits him
to remain in the field under the circum-
stances. Accounts from the eastern
province Of Santiago de Cuba state that
5000 men from the seaport towns re-
Gently have joined the patriot army.
and that a large number Of them were
deserters from the Spanish army The
repeated successes Of Garcia and Co
mez have filled the Cuban people with
confidence that the war of indepen-
dence is won, and they are 1ocking in
thousands to the victorious banner of
the Republic. Fortunately the pS triot
leaders are supplied with arms for at
least seven or eight thousand men more
than they could have equipped ninety
days ago and, if all goes well, another
cargo of rifles and ammunition will be
landed before Sunday. ii has been

ELECTIONS In LOUISIANA.
Constitutional Convention to Disfran-
chise Ignorant Negroes.


chise Ignorant Negroes.
New Orleans. Jan. IA general cleo
ton was held throughout the State
yesterday on the question of holding a
constitutional convention. The conven-
ton was called by the legislature and
the call was approved and Endorsed by
the Democratic party. with the avowed
purpose Of pressing 4 suffrage qualifi-
cation that would disfranchise ignorant
colored citizens.
Nearly all of the white Republicans,
however. either combined with the
Democrats or supported the Democrat
ic candidates for delegates, in order to
get rid Of the colored men as No,ris.
TIE election passed off with nut tA-
element A very light vote was ro-l-
e In New Orleans not over forty per
cent of the white vote or ten per cent
of the colored vote was polled. The
proposition to call the convention car
ried the city by majority Of $1,000 and
the Democratic candidates at large are
elected by $1,000 majority.
The same lukewaTmneSs was shown
throughout the State, and small vote
was cast. The convention has carried
the State by a majority of $1,000, and
the Democratic ticket at large is elect
ed by 10000 The indications are that
the convention viii consist of lie Dem
ocraIs. 10 Populists. o independents. and

PRETTY ROUGH ON TRAVELLERS
Troubles Arising From the Act to
Prevent Pelagic Sealing.

New York, Jan. 1.-THE Treasury
regulations to enforce the act to pre-
vent pelagic sealing are making trou-
BILE alike for officials, travellers and
border residents In their desire to pro-
tect the inhabitant of the North Pa
eific. the officials are often Obliged to
infiict great personal discomfort upon
human beings Collector Bidwell left
for Washington. yesterday, to confer
with the Treasury officials, in an ef-
fort to abate the trouble.
A dispatch from Niagara Falls says
that the first seizure of furs under the
new act was made there Monday night.
A sealskin sacque valued at 300 was
taken from Miss B. Parkiston, of Lon
don, England, a passenger on a Lehigh
Valley train. coming from Canada.
Miss Parkjston declared that the
sacque had BEEN purchased in London.
in 1894 Miss Parkiston is obliged to
remain at hotel under charge OF Gus
toms Inspector Fusion. Miss Parkiston
is the first woman to have her seal
garment corfiscated If she can give
complete history of the garment she
may save it from the fire, as the law
requires that all seized garments be
burned unless fully accounted for I'M
from the North Pacific.
Meantime a young woman OF Wor-
cester, Mass, had an almost equally
disagreeablef experience on the Boston
express from Montreal. She left Mon
treal at S:25 o'clock. and at about 10
o'clock when the train neared the
States " line, the customs officlals got
aboard. They pounced upon the young
woman's travelling bag. and there dis
covered a sealskin cloak
The official then demanded the GER
tiffcate required by law. which is, in
fact. a pedigree of the garment. The
official drew blank, however. for the
young woman had never heard of such
document. She contended that the
cloak was ordinary wearing apparei
and had been in her possession hVe
years or more.
That made no difference, however,
and the official, himself in an AWKWARD
position. advised the young woman TO
remain on the Canadian side until she
could get the certificates. This she
could not do. and had to leave the cloak
in the hands Of the officials. man
in the train loaned her a heavy cape
from his overcoat.
The Dingley law provides that per-
sonal effects worth more than 800 snail
pay duty. The new law makes no
mention of personal effects. Collector
Bidwell has so far placed liberal IN
depreciation on the law and held that
sealskin garments that were really
personal effects of passengers were in
transit and exempt from confiscation.
The act falls heavily upon the resi-
dents in the neighborhoOd of Niagara
Falls. Many American families live on
the Canadian side and every time they
cross the bridge they are required TO
produce a certificate in order to wear
| a sealskin sacque or even cap. Many
cross bareheaded and without wrap
and others hesitate to cross for fear or
the cold, Directing at the same time 10
swearing out a certificate of admission
for their cloaks.

NOT HOPEFUL OF RELIEF.
People From Dawson Ciiy Skeptical
About the Government Expedition.

Juneau, Alaska. (yia Seattle, Wash.).
Jan. 12.-Anolher party of Yukoners,
about forty in number arrived here,
but none Of them left Dawson later
than November u. and, therefore. could
add little To the news sent last week.
They had heard of the Dawson fire,
and believed ii Was not out AT the
time " hen The courier. Montana Kid,
left
Many read with interest the most re-
cent newspaper reports or the proposed
government relief expedition, and all
expressed a belief that the plan was
not feasible. They said the Govern
ment could not possibly get supplies
through before the steamers reach
Dawson in June. The trip WAS such
an arduous and hazardous one. they
declared, that the supplies taken in
would be exhausted on the journey. To
battle against the cold it is necessary
for a man to consume three pounds OF
provisions a day; dogs need as much
and horses from twelve to fifteen
pounds Of hay a day TO do good work.
BY Reckoning what this would amount
to for eighty days. and by figuring on
what men. horses and dogs could pack
beyond it. il could be easily seen. the
Yukoners said. that the expedition
would reach Dawson with little pro-
visions.
