CHANGES MIND AT HE ALTAR
Miss "Happy" Van wycK Causes a Stir
I'm Washington Social
Circles.
(From a staff CORRESPONDENT

WASHINGTON. July 11.--(Speclal Tele-
gram Miss Theodore H. Van wyck, ia
miliarly known as Happy" daughter OF
late Senator Charles II. Van Wyck Of Ne
braska, who was to have married Frank
Mitchell Of this city on July 3, recanted of
her promise and the wedding did not take
place according to program, and thereby
hangs a story which is just becoming pub
lie. A license to marry was issued July
from the office of the district supreme
court to Mr.. Frank Mitchell, aged 26, and
Miss Theodore H. Van Wyek, aged 20, and
on the following day the couple presented
themselves at the residence of Rev. DR..
Wallace Radcliffe, pastor Of the New York
Avenue Presbyterian church, to have the
ceremony performed. For some reason the
nuptial knot was not tied and the affair
was declared of. 1t is said, however, that
the young woman changed her mind In the
middle of the ceremony ana that she re-
garGed the whole matter In the light OF a
joke.
Shortly after the interrupted ceremony
Miss Van Wyck left for Milford, Pa, the
family home Of the Van Wyeks, where she
has friends. leaving no explanation OF her
strange proceeding to console her friends.
Miss Van Wyck, since her tnother's death
has spent great deal Of her time in
Washington, appearing at social functions
under the chaperonage OF a leading sena-
tors wife, having apartments at the Nor
mandie. The young woman was known as
Happy" Van Wyck, and in fact SO regis
ters herself.
Rev. Radcliffe, while refusing to discuss
the strange ending Of what promised to
be a most happy elimination of a genuine
love match, stated that the couple, accom-
panied by one person, whose name was un-
known to him. appeared at his home and
presented a proper marriage license. That
was all he would say, excepting that the
young couple left his residence unmarried
He preferred that the facts should come
from the parties themselves.
Friends Of the principals Of the affaiI
say the would-be groom took the affair Sc
riously and was much surprised at the
young woman's change Of mind at the crit
ical moment 1t is understood that while
she has social admirers, she had shown
decided preference for Mr.. Mitchell, and
at the theater and in nearly all her rides
and drives about the city he was her es-
cort.

Johnstewn Horror Stricken.


The impression prevails among the out
sders and certain employees OF the mine
that $50 is a low estimate OF the casualty
list. Fated Johnstown spent the day hor-
ror-stricken. Great throngs surged about
the pit mouth. the improvised morgue at
the armory and about the stricken homes
Of the dead. Exaggerated rumors OF all
kinds prevailed. One report gained cirou-
lation that disaster had overtaken the res
cuing party which entered the mine shortly
after 8 o'clock. This was not disproved until
word finally came from the men In the
mine.
It is difhcult TO picture with any degree
approaching it's full worth the work OF res
cue. How brave men went into the Jaws OF
death in its most horrible form, encount-
cred their fellows transformed into raving
maniacs by hours OF waiting in the pitch
darkness of the earth's' interior, lifted them
moaning from their beds OF fallen rock and
then, bending and crawling on all fours. car
rying them a quarter Of a mile underground
to where cars could be reached to take them
outside.
Along in the early part OF the afternoon
cheering word came from the innermost re-
cesses Of the mine that life yet fingered IN
some Of the bodies found. The rescuers

almost choked the heading. but through and
over the debris the brave men pushed their
way.
Maniac's Laugh GFeets Them.
In the front, young Patrick Martin, his
brother Peter, Philip White and several
cousins OF the Martins made their way.
Suddenly in an open space they were start
led by the maniac laugh which emanated
from a blackened form that rushed at them
out OF the darkness.
The man grasped firmly a pick handle
and tried in his frenzy to beat down his
rescuers. He was overpowered and dragged
back to the main heading to the cars.

are known to be dead and twenty-five

all checks of the miners are taken an ac-
curate list will be impossible. Some of the
bodies, 1t is admitted will be entombed in
the closed headings or buried under slate
Some may never be found.
JOHNSTOWN, Pa, July lI,-This has
been day Of heroic rescueS at the fated
Rolling Mill mine Of the Cambria Steel
company. Thrilling experiences attended
the efforts OF the forty brave and daring
fellows who went down into the bowels
OF the earth, stirred by a very faint hone
that still they might be in time to restore
to life some Of those who are entombed.
Death lurked everywhere around them,
but undaunted they pressed forward,
swayed with the noblest OF human pur-
poses. The reward OF their efforts was
the saving Of the lives OF fourteen of
their fellow-men and bringing them again
into the sunlight and back to living fam
nies. Dead and manned bodies were To-
Gated, but no effort was made to bring
them out of the vast theater of death
until every human energy was put for
ward to seeing that no living soul might
escape their aid. That done. the dead
were put in train cars, brought up and
exposed to morbid gaze, while being trans
ferred to wagons in which to be taken TO

section of the mine yet to be explored.
