Mrs. Zyers is about twenty-five years Old

five years ago in Havana, while she was
travelling with her mother. She was born
il Boston, and was apparently a young
woman OF wealth and refinement. He fell
in love with her, bat though they saw
much OF each other, he could not tell her
OF his feelings because OF the lack Of
other
Zyers came to the United States a year
later, and met Miss Williams and her
mother in New York. He had learned
some English. and she had learned some
Spanish. and he finally asked her to marry
him She declined. and then he set him
self to work to win her.
Several weeks ago Zyers, with Mrs. and
Miss Williams, went TO Newark and en-
gagged apartments with Nine. Ruble. Sew
eral days later Zyers was found almost
dead in his room, having been overcome by
escaping Illuminating gas.
Physicians were called, and with their
care and the nursing of Miss Williams he
was soon out Of danger. Then he renewed
his propositions OF marriage, and Miss
Williams finally consented. A justice OF
the peace was sent for, and the ceremony
was performed.

CART DRIVERS OUT.
The Havana Strike Complicated by
Alleged Racial Animosity.

Alleged hHcIGf 2DRmOSitS-
HAVANA, Sept 2o-Every cart driver
in Havana struck today and the transpor-
tation OF goods was brought to a standstiil.
The chief complaint of the drivers, who are
all Spaniards, is that the Cuban policemen
are unnecessarily harsh and abusive in en-
forcing the ordinances for the regulation
of drivers. and that they are frequently
taken TO the police court and fined without
cause, beyond the fact that they are Span
isrds. The strike is directed against this
and other petty annoyances. and the
strikers expect that the merchants will
side with them. A conference has already
been held between Mayor Lacoste, Chief
of Police cardenas and Senor Sagrario. the
Spanish Consul General. with the view to
arranging a compromise.
Senor Cardenas insisted that when the
ordinances were broken the infractors
should suffer but the other eonferees
agreed that the police should be cautioned
to be careful not to ogerstep the law. Senor
Sagrario viii address tie drivers tonight
and VIII urge them to go back TO work. as
suring them that they will receive fair
treatment. If the men refuse 10 return to
work business here viii be in bad way.
All the other strikes are still on, but there
is no disorder. The agitation to force a
general strike continues. big meeting
for that purpose VIII be held tonight.

miento 1t now charges that the council
men let $4,000 contract to the gas COM
paRy to light the interior of the Tacon
Market, whereas the lighting of the place

paper declares that the contract is fraud
and demands that Mayor Lacoste and
General Ludlow investigate the matter.
Twenty seven Cabans have been arrested

only because friends urged her on. She
changed from bright, strong. and CHEEKY
young woman at p. m. to a feyerish, de-
lirious one at 1890. In this condition
through a pounding rain over slippery
roads, under the guidance of friends, and
falsely borne up by stimulants, Miss Yat-
man attained the chief ambition of her life
and completed ride of 10s more miles
over the road than any women ever did
before. The elapsed time Of her ride was
