NEW YORK. June 3.-When the
KaIscrin Maria Theresa dockcd at Ho-
boken a bright faced little girl skipped
down the gangplank, holding to her ia
TIERS hand, and peercd curously into
the waiting crowd on the pier.
She was Margaret Taylor, eight years
old, who was kidnapped four years ago
in Cincinnati by maiden aunt and
only now restored to her parents
through the good offices of Governor
Nash Of Ohio and ambassador Choate
at London, through whose efforts she
was located in Bardiglera, Italy.
When little Margaret was born, her
fathers sister became greatly attached
to the child. She almost appropriated
the care of it, and Mrs. Taylor per-
suaded her husband to provide Il sep
arate home. Then as the little one
grew up she went frequently to visit
her Aunt Clara. One day Miss Taylor
took her off with her.
"We learned after three years and q
half had elapsed" said Mr.. Taylor,
"that Miss Taylor had gone to London,
where she had Interested the British
Women's Temperance association in
her, and she was taken care OF by Mrs.
Ormston Chant until the latter became
suspicious of her through articles tell
ing about Margaret's kidnapping. Mrs.
Chant wrote to Governor Nash.

was discovered, and though she was in
poverty she found means to escape to

NO STREET
GAS LIGHTS,

Acting upon instructions from the
Street and Sewer Department the
Wcfsbach lights did rot burn last
night as the WelsbaCh Street Light
ing Company removed It's burners
and shades. The directors came in
fer their share of condemnation.
On Tuesday last the directors of
the Street and Sewer Department
awarded tie contract for furnishing
51s incandescent gas lamps to the
American Lighting Company, limit
cd, q this city, but the contract has
not yet been signed. In the meantime
the WelsEach Street Lighting Com

doing the gas lighting was notified
by City Solicitor Reinhardt that the
contract had been awarded to another
company and directed the Welsbach
rtoTle to remove their lights and
Entelns by June 2 upon which date
the new contract went into effect.
Having received this notice the
Wclsbach Company yesterday remcv-
ed its lamps and lanterns from the
posts belonging to the city and of
course stol ped l'ghting. AS the new
had NOT had time to secure
its lamps and lanterns it could do
and the consequence was that
the section of the city lighted by gas
were Clark. The directors of the
Street andssSsHers. spartment had
seen the troitSs which was about to
arise, and talked of putting in tenn
porary gas lights, but they state
they were advised by the city solicitor
HAT such action might complicate
and they did not do SO.
A force Of men today began plac-
ng the lanterns and burners which
we're formerly on the posts so that
,he lamps can burn tonight.

Hugh Tevis re-plighted her troth to the
man she Tilted fortnight before her
wedding to the California muiti-milion-
aire.
Afr. Hughes is speeding Eastward as
fast as a limited train can bring him
from Denver TO New York. Mrs. Tevis
q expected at the Holland house on We'd
nesday.
Dispatches from both San Francisco
and Denver yesterday recited that the
bitterness between the couple had all died
away and that the two were otter soen
together. IL was stated in both kilograms
that society had heard that the engage
ment had been renewed.
Mr.. Hughess departure from Denver
was quite sudden. He had planned a stag
party for Sunday night. but on Friday
he hastily cancelled the invitations with
out giving any reason.
Those OF his friends who thought they
could guess, hazarded the opinion that II
was because Mr.. Hughes had forgotten
and forgiven everything, and had gone
East quietly 60 marry Mrs. Tevis. who
left there a week ago with her mother.
George W. Baxter. denied the reported
renewal OF the engagement and spoke
even bitterly OF his daughters ex-af-
danced.
Miss Baxter fell III OF pneumonia after
che day OF her wedding to Hughes had
been set. Convalescing, the physicians
sent her TO the soft climate OF Southern
California. There she met Hugh Tevis.
son OF the late Lloyd Tevis, heir TO halt
his fathers $1,000, 900. IL was a two
weeks Vooing.
The couple were married in San Fran
cisco on April 10, 1901. Ten weews later
the bridegroom was dead in Japan. III
February last a baby boy was born. Mrs.
Tevis returned TO Denver. But society
had espoused the cause OF GersId
Hughes. Beautiful Mrs Tevis learned
chat Denver was unforgivfng.
Next sprung up tho Hughes-B Baxter
fraud. Hughes bought the Baxter home
for $4,000 and offered to sell 1t back 10
anybody but the Baxters for just what
he paid for It, The Baxters had TO move.
BY chance not long ago the couple met
and spoke.
