Miss Sigsbee received marked attention
from a young man of this city.
So devoted did he become that it was ru-
mored among his friends that he contem-
plated marrying Miss Sigsbee as soon as
she finished her course in art. Miss Sigs-
bee received his attentions with what ap-
peared to be marked sincerity and was
frequently seen at the theatre and other
entertainments in his company. As stated
the Rev. F. J. Belcher, of the Jane Street
Methodist Church, New York, performed
the ceremony at the church parsonage, No.
II Jane Street. The marriage was wit
messed by Finn H. Frolich, an artist, and
F. ]. Belcher, jr., son OF the officiating
minister
Miss Sig3bee. it is said, did not answer
all the questions propounded to her by the
minister in filling out the blank for the
Bureau of Vital Statistics. She said her
mothers name was Mary Lockwood, and
that she was twenty-five years Old having
been born in New Orleans, La. In the line
intended for the name of the father Of the
bride the minister has written ASKED;
not given Miss Sigsbee signed the mar
riage certificate simply Mary sixbe. :"
while Balfour Kerr subscribed himself
William Kerr. BY this distinction the
name attracted no attention.
The friends of Miss Sigsbee state that
the young lady cannot possibly be over
twenty years of age. She is now at New
pert with her mother and the family resi-
dence in this city is closed. The young
man who paid her so much attention last
winter recently visited Newport and while
there renewed his attentions to her.
Things Theatrical.
If there is one thing above all others
for which the organizations managed by
Edward F. Rush are noted it is the care
with which the productions are placed on
the stage. Not only are the costumes and
scenery used more than ordinarily ex-
pensive, but able ballet masters are Sc
cured, and their ability speedily takes it
self to the chorus. Mr.. Rush's ensembles
are really notable for the evenness and
ingenuity of their maneuvres-a feature
| too generally sighted in such companies
as visit the popular-priced houses. All
of these excellences are discernible in the
bon Ton Burlesquers, which are now
! being seen at Kernan's, and it is claimed
| that they will be more apparent still with
| the Victoria combination, which comes
| to that cozy theatre for the week begin
| ming next Monday They are promised to
| become almost obtrusiye in their plain
ness during the rendering of the 'Victo-
ria's" afterpart, a skit entitled "A High

4 Fine Figure of a Man.

The captain is a fine figure OF a man,
FIVE feet nine inches tall, weighs about 1s5
pounds, and his easy movements suggest
athletic experience. His head is round and
well shaped, his hair is black and clusters
in little curls all over his head. His dark
brown mustache, with fascinating curl,
sets off the fine features of his face. He
is esteemed a most affable and entertain
ing man by his fellow members. For the
last two months he has been the most con-
spicuous figure at the clubhouse-in the
cafe, where the best OF wines and cigars
are TO be had in the billiard room, where
his skill with the cue has won him praise;
in the marble swimming pool, in which is
as much at home as he is on the horizontal
bars in the gymnasium.
The captain has been a nonresident
member OF the club since 1893. and among
the older set of members he was well re-
membered when he returned a few weeks
ago to take up his residence there. In the
old days he excelled in most of he gymna-
sium work, and although he had grown a
little stouter and sitter in his joints during
the interim he showed greater proficiency
IN some of the sports his return than
| he had before. He fell easily and naturally
into the ways of club life. He related no
end Of good stories, with which many men,
bers of the club are regaling friends not
SO fortunate as TO meet the captain per-
sonally. He contributed number of well
come Suggestions concerning palatable
drinks he had learned to concoct in the
South while he was defrauding the Gov
ernment. His skill in making salads in
spired loud demands for his presence at
the tables where the most exacting of the
club epicures dine

Takes Affairs Easily,


The captain is apparently not in the
least troubled by the prospect of an i'm
mediate dismissal from the army. To
those members of the club with whom
he has talked he has expressed the opin-
ion that his influential friends can save
him from meeting the sentence imposed
by the court-martial before which he
was tried He does not tell who these
friends are, but he intimates broadly
and with admirable confidence that they
are in high places, and represent the
strongest influences of both political
parties.
He comes and goes when he pleases,
unhampered by any restriction whatso-
ever. as freely and much more gracefully
than most of the other members of the
club, who are not accused of stealing
81, 500, 600. He is late riser, and when he
appears in the breakfast-room within an
hour either way of II O'Clock, he ap-
bered gentleman of leisure, who fits so
properly into club life.
After breakfast he saunters out careful
ly groomed clear Of eye and glowing with
health long black cigar held between his
teeth, and without any evidence of being
troubled about the trivial charge against
him of having robbed his country. He
drives and rides in the park, and his
mounts excite the envy of other ciubmen
He calls frequently upon friends at the
Waldorf-Astoria. and at the Gerard family
apartment-house in West Forty-fourth
Street. He usually takes luncheon down.
town, one day at the Cafe Savarin, where
this men who gamble for millions in the
Wall Street district enjoy their midday
meal, and the next at Delmonico's.
Liked by His Associates.
He changes his clothes three or four
times a day, and no member of the club
has more extensive and properly appor-
toned wardrobe. Toward most of the
younger members of the club he reserves
BETTING exclusiveness, 5lt to all who come
in contact with him he is esteemed a
good fellow" He has declined a number
of invitations to visit friends in Newport
and other fashionable resorts, where his
skill as a yachtsman would be in demand.
Persons who met him while he waH
supervising the work of improving Sa-
vannah harbor have related his prodigal
expenditure of money in entertaining
| them upon his private yacht the Angler
for which the Government paid s25, 900.

agreeable than ordinary petty annoy

money, influential friends, cultivated

PASSING HOURS IN ease.
Luxurious Life of a Captain Con
yicted by Court-Martial.
Engineer officer Oberlin III. Carter
Spends the Period Between His
Sentence for "a Crime Against the
Government and Its Confirmation
i'm the Most Elegant Leisure.

New York, Aug 10.-The New York
World" this morning prints the following:
This is the way Capt. oberlin H. Car
ter, who is proven to have defrauded the
United States Government out OF $780,
coo, who is under sentence by court mar
tial to dismissal from the army, and to the
publication for five years of the sto!y of
his disgrace, lives in New York city from
day to day.
Captain Carter's title, that of a captain
of engineers in the United States Army;
his crime. the systematic forgery of war
rants upon the National Treasury for work
that was never performed in connection
with the improvement of the harbor OF
the city of Savannah. Four hundred and
sixty-two days ago he was found guilty by
court martial and sentenced to dishonor-
able dismissal from the army. But for
scme mysterious reason the sentence has
not been executed.
The findings of the court are now in the
hands of the Attorney General and there
is apparently no prospect of decision
from him regarding the legality of them
before the statute of limitations intervenes
and saves Carter from paying the penalty
for his crime. President Mckinley could
compel the carrying out of his sentence.
but so far he has not shown any incllna-
tion to do so. Yesterdays adyices were
that Attorney General Griggs, who has
the papers in the case in his hands, would
wait an indefinite time for the return from
Europe of Carter's counsel, Wayne Nc
Weigh, who is i'll.
Captain Carter bears his disgrace light
ly. At the New York Athletic Club, where
he has a room, he is celebrated as being a
good felow,'' witty, genial, and generous.
He dined there last night in the cool din
ing-room, through which the breeZes from
Central Park blow refreshingly. He was
dressed as any gentleman of unlimited
means and leisure ordinarily dresses for
dinner. The cut of his dinner coat, vast
coat and trousers was indisputably the
work of a tailor who knew his business.
! The set OF his dress shirt. adorned with
! pin-point pearls, left no doubt of his ex-
cellent taste In dress matters. A tiny
carelessly tied black satin tie was looped
al just the proper angle around a high
stand-up collar.

pass on the ground of the Wheeling
strikers, then they, too, will come out,
so it is understood.
These men do not belong to the
Wheeling organization and have no
union of their own, and that Is about
the reason they did not demand the
same advance as the men on this side.
From what could be learned. however.
they were asked to continue working
and should the men here be successful
they may receive the same wages also.
The line was in operation yesterday
as usual, the cars running from Aetna
vile to Beilaire. The conductors re-
ceived orders. however. to give no
transfers to Wheeling.
As long as this continues and they
are not asked to run over the road
formerly worked on by the Wheeling
strikers they feel justified In working,
as they are not assisting the manage
ment in their contest against the men
employed on the line on this side OF
the river.
Last evening 1t was rumored that
they would quit until the strike was
settled, but this proved to be without
foundation, as was learned from sew
eral Of the men.

STREET CAR COMPANY
Is TIED Up TIGHT.


tee of the union, and last night there
was general meeting OF the union in
the hall at Forty-third street, for dis
cussion of the situation ana the tran
saction of such business as was neces-
sary for the conduct of the strike. The
headquarters of the men will probably
be removed up town to Trades As
tembly hall in few days, and daily
meetings are probable. Members of
the union seen yesterday and last even
ing said the men were unanimous in
their action, and would stand together
until the cause was won or lost.
On the question of protection to the
property of the company, citizen not
interested on either side of the contro-
versy said yesterday
Destruction of property should not
be permitted for moment, no matter
what the merits of the strike are. The
strikers themselves not only discOun-
tenance acts of violence on their own
part, but request all sympathizers to
refrain from such acts. In doing this
they realize that a contrary policy
would hurt their cause in popular es-
timation. This being the situation, it
is the duty, and should be the policy OF
the police, to promptly arrest and bring
to justice all persons caught placing
distractions on the tracks, or damaging
cars or other property. Ii is true these
depredations are committed, in nine
teen cases out Of twenty by boys. A
dozen or fifteen arrests would stop the
thing very quickly. These arrests
should have been made yesterday, and
the disorder nipped in the bud. Prompt
action by Chief Clemans yesterday
morning would have settled everything,
and left the company and the men to
reach a conclusion between themselves.
Every one who believes in law and or
der under all circumstances Will regret
that the police appear to be unequal to
the occasion. The Chief could have
massed his entire force on the South
Side yesterday, his special officer could
have obtained names of offenders, and
arrests could have beene made which
would have put an effectual stop to OBJ
structions and the throwing OF stones
and the calling of names for the re-
mainder of the strike
SECRETARY SHIRLEY TALKS.
Mr.. Shirley was seen last night, and
said:
I'VE had cars running up until about
half-past four to-day. We have some
men and we intend getting enough
more to operate the line. And we GER
tainly shall demand from the author
tiles all the protection we can get, for
it is due us.
"Will there be a conference tonight
between the company and the men," he
was asked.
There will be no conference that
know Of" was the reply.
will you have cars running to-mor-
row."
II don't really know whether we Will
or not"
Mr.. Shirley said that the company
intended to operate the road if they
possibly could do so.
