MRS. OWNS ROMANTIC LIFE.
Career Of . Senator'S Widow Who Has
just Died In California.


just Died In California.
Louisville special: The death of Mrs.
Mary Elizabeth Gwin in San Francis
co few days ago ended career as
interesting as that of a heroine Of fic-
ton. Mrs. Gwip was IS and the wild
ow OF Senator William M. Gwin of CAL
ifornia.
She was the daughter of a Kentuck-
Ian named Bell, who kept a famous
tavern. William Logan, a surveyor of
Glasgow, KY, married her when she
was Ia and took her 10 Texas. There
they became friends with General Sam
Houston. Mr.. Logan died in 1886 or
1885. and his widow, scarcely out of
her teens, returned to her fathers
house, young, blooming and buxom.
The story goes that DR.. William M.
Gwin, while riding past the tavern,
saw the youthful beauty at some work
on the rear porch and then and there
was so struck by her grace that he
alighted to WOO her.
Their marriage took place at Vicks-
burg, Miss, and later the doctor took
his bride to New Orleans. When the
news came that gold had been dis
covered in California Mrs. Gwin urged
her husband to go there at once and
become United States senator. They
arrived In California on June 4, 1S49,
and ever afterward Mrs. Gwin called
that date her birthday, although she
was born on June A. DIR. Gwin was
elected United States senator in 1849,
although the state was not admitted
to the union until 1850. The hospitality
dispensed by him and his wife is yet
recalled in Washington. President
James Buchanan was one Of Mrs.
OWNS ardent admirers.
In 1857 Adelina Patti was In Wash
ington, and the project of giving a con-
To-
Mrs. Gwin. The latter knew OF the
marvellous sweetness of the girls voice
and determined to make the concert
the social event OF the season in Wash
ington. She induced the president,
members Of the cabinet and prominent
senators to attend the concert, which
was a great success. Patti never for
got the kindness. Years later when
Mrs. Gwin was confederate sympa-s
thizer In Paris Patti saw great deal
Of her ana never forgot to express her
gratitude for her start In Washington
When the civil war broke out Sena-
tor Gwin espoused the cause OF the.
south. He Went south, but did not en-
ter the army. Mrs. GWin went to Bal
timore, where she had q daughter at
school. Baltimore was more or less Of
a hotbed OF southern sympathy and the
government at Washington was very;
vigilant In regard to communication
from there to the confederate lines. II
was suspected that Mrs. Gwin was
conveying information and quinine
through the lines. and ut the advice OF
her friends and perhaps DR.. Gwin
she went to Paris. The Gwin home be-.
came confederate headquarters In Par
Isl.

How the James Brothers Escaped.

At times they obtained much useful in
different pursuing parties by representing
themselves to be officers of the law In
pursuit of the bank robbers. At one time
they eluded the hunters by tying their
horses In a secluded spot and proceeding
on foot. Then they broke into small par
ties and travelled by different ways. The
two James brothers, when near MankatO,
cut off to the west and crossing into Da-
kota, escaped together. AS many as q
but 1t seemed impossible to stop the fugi-
tives anywhere. AT last, after two weeks
of hunting, the enterprise was considered
hopeless and practically given up.
But two weeks before the attempted
robbery Coleman Younger had attracted
attention at Madelia by his minute and
frequent inquiries respecting roads,
swamps and bridges. After the murder at
Mortified those inquiries led some to be-
lieve that he had planned an escape by
way Of the lakes and woods near Madelia,
efforts at other places had ceased The
expectation was justified, for about Sep
TENDER q the remaining four men-the
three YOungerS and Pitts-Were observed
and pursued. They were driven into a
thicket and surrounded. Then enSued q
battle between James Glispin, sheriff of
Watonwan county, assisted by six volun-
teers, and the robbers. None of the posse
was struck, but all the bandits were hurt
Pitts was killed, Coleman had eleven
wounds, James five and Robert one in the
breast, in addition to his broken elbow
The three Youngers pleaded to an indict-
ment Of murder and were given the maxi
mum sentence, life imprisonment. Robert
Younger died In prison September 16, 1889.

WILLING TO COMPROMISE.
Lawrence Doyle Will Settle With City
For $4,000.

Lawrence Doyle, who recently OBJ
tained judgment for $1,000 from the city
for injuries received by falling from an
East Broadway sidewalk, through his
attorney last night addressed a COM
municatiOn to the city council in which
he offers to compromise the Judgment
for the sum of $4,000.
Doyle claimed that he was perma-
nently injured by falling from the side
walk, which had been moved from it's
original position, and the jury gave him
judgment in the sum of $4,000.
The city has filed a motion for new
trial. and will. if granted, endeavor to
show that Doyle fell from the back door
of saloon, and not from the sidewalk,
as claimed.
Doyle has assigned his judgment to
Mike Torpey, a saloonkeeper. His offer
to compromise is signed with a cross.
The matter will be taken up by the
council at it's meeting next Wednesday
night.

MAJOR MILES IS HERE,
He Is on His Way to Visit Eastern
Capitalists.

Major Frank Miles is a guest at the
McDermott. He returned from Alaska
last September and is now on his way
east to organize i company to develop
some copper properties in the frozen
north. This will be his second recent
trip toward the Atlantic. He goes first
to Chicago and from that point will visit
several other large cities.
In speaking of Alaska, Mr.. Miles said:
1t is certainly great mineral country
and furthermore Will prove a money
making place for any one who has the
nerve and perseverance to go there and
remain a few years. I saw some very
elegant steamers on the Yukon. They are
even finer than those now running on
the Hudson river. They are fitted with
all modern conveniences. electric lights,
hot and cold water and in fact everything
for the comfort of the travelling public"
Mr. Miles is a great admirer of the
push and energy of the Seattle people,
but says Portland people are very UNI
progressive. He stated that the people
of Portland have plenty of money but
seem not to be awake. Portland he said
should draw business both from San
Francisco and Seattle.
