WEEDS IN LONDON
indianapolis Girl Who Was to Marry
Marconi Weds Another.


New York, May ga dispat oh
from London says that the wedding
of Miss Josephine Holman, formerly
Of indianapolis, who was once en-
gagged to marry Signor Marconi, OF
wireless telegraphy fame, to Eugene
Boross, Of Budapest, Hungary, took
place today at st. Margaret's Chapel,
Westminster, in the presence of a
brilliant assemblage that included
many prominent members Of the
American colony.
The announcement few weeks ago
Of Miss Holman's engagement to Mr.
Boross created something of senss-
ton as it came so soon after il had
become known that the troth between
the young Indiana girl and Signor
Marconi had been broken. Mr.. b.
ross is well known in this city, hav-
ing paid several long visits here dur
ing the last few years. He is the
only son of O wealthy business man
of Budapest, and has BEEN a great
traveller. He is about thirty years of
age, handsome, accomplished, and a
man of charming manners. On his
latest visit to America he was the
guest of {. r. Merritt, of this city,
q cousin Of President Roosevelt.
Mr.. Boross' courtship of Miss Hol-
man was not without it's romantic
features. Their first meeting took
place on board one Of the Atlantic
liners isst January. 1t was just a
few days before she sailed that Miss
Holman announced the breaking off
of her engagement to signor Mar
conf.
Tho young couple expect to make
their future home in Budapest, but
it is said that one Of the promises
exacted from Mr.. Boross by his bride
is that he will bring her to the Unit
cd States every year.

RAILROAD EARNINGS.
THERE is A BIG INCREASE RE-
PORTED EVERYWHERE.

Notwithstanding last years crop
shortage, which has seriously cur
tailed the volume of agricultural ton
mage coming to market, railroad gross
earnings continue TO record noteworthy
expansion. AS matter Of fact. in
stead Of the Improvement being les
sened, as had been so generally feared,
the gains speaking of the roads as a
whole are now larger than ever be-
fore. The Financial Chronicle has
compiled the figures for the month of
April, so far as the returns are avail
able so soon after the close Of the
month, and in the aggregate the in
Grease is the largest shown in any
preliminary monthly exhibit during
the current year thus far. The tables
cover eighty-eight roads operating
95, l47 miles, and the total Of the gross
earnings on this mileage is s5.749, sos
larger than that reported by the same
companies on 1896 miles in April of
last year. In other words, there is
an increase of HOB per cent in rev.
enues on an addition of only l.55 per
cent in mileage.
