 Wife Remarried and
 Property Divided.

Bay Minette, Oct. 11.-(Special. .l-After mysterious absence covering ten years. s. A. Taylor has returned to Baldwin County to find his wife remarked and his property divided in the belief that he was dead.
 The story Is full of interest. On April 3. 1892 s. A.

But in about a week MT. Taylor was out riding horseback and failed to return at night. Next morning his horse came up. and tied to the saddle was a note directed to his relatives, tell ing where he would leave his watch, and also where they could find his body. A search was made, the watch was found, but the place designated for the body was in a small lake. Neighbors and friends gathered together and drag ged the lake, and even went to Mobile, secured some cannons and fired them over the water in an effort to find the body, but without success.
 It is said that the brothers of the young man spent several hundred dollars in their futile effort to find their brother They finally gave him up as dead and lost. His lands and property were sold and divided between the young wife and the brothers of the supposed dead man.

ROMANCE BEGUN SIX YEARS AGO ENDED
 YESTERDAY IN QUIET, HAPPY MARRIAGE

six years' romance of beauty and pe- culiar interest preceded the quiet marriage ceremony of yesterday performed by Dr. Charles A. Stakely by which Miss Eva Chand- Ter of far-ofr Iowa became the bride of Pro- lessor J. E. Porter of Troy.
 The bride from Iowa, the groom from Alabama and Kentucky was the scene of. the courtship of which yesterdays ceremony was the happy consummation. The story. of the old courtship, the unfortunate but brief. dis agreements. the years of constancy. the recon ciiatlon and the happy ending is true chap ter from human life beautiful and inter esting as the fancy of any novelist could portray. The romance which touches and ap- peals ended at the home of Rev. Charles A. Stakely, pastor of the First Baptist Church, when the sacred words were pronounced which linked together two hearts that had remained constant. though separated, while the tedious years rolled slowly by. There were differences and at times the future must have been gloomy and uninviting to those that fate in so widely separating, must have seemed harsh and un- kind. But the gloom of the past now serves only to contrast the happiness of the present and the brightness of the future.
 The groom is of Alabama's well known educators. He is a member of the faculty of the State Normal School at Troy, one who has rendered valuable aid to the work of rais- ing that school to the present excellent posi- tion which 1t occupies. He not only ranks high in educational work. but he stands well In the esteem of all who know him a gen. tleman and teacher, In Troy he is most highly regarded Professor Porter has hand some presence and pleasing address.
 The Iowa bride is of distinguished ancestry. She is Q descendent of Cir Francis Drake. the illustrious sailor who made the name of Eng land feared and revered upon all seas. one of the men because of whom "Brittania Rules the Waves" She is moreover, a near rela- tive of Former Senator William E. Chandler of New Hampshire, who in recent years was leader in the greatest law-making body of the world, the United States Senate.
 The bride, pretty. attractive and cultured of her own right, adds interest to the pleasing romance. But a double interest centers in the romance and its consummation by reason of the six years constancy and devotion and the

unusual feature of 1t in the brides travelling hundreds of miles to meet her choice to pledxs the words that would make the twain one for all time.
 Six years ago the bride and groom of yester- day met in beautiful. historic Lexington. where in other years romances of two sfec- tionate hears had run their way to happiness or to misery. The acquaintance there begun ran rapidly from friendship to something deeper and more enduring. The two so deeply, interested parted more than friends
 She was to be a bride. though six yeaFB' intervened with their full measure of unhap- piness returned to her home in Iowa. The groom-t to-be came South and made his home f1 Alabama. The years may have had for hirn their lights and shadows. but they held worldly success and the happy and satisfying reward for his constancy.
 The two, though separated, were not absent from each others thought and fancy. Through correspondence one and the other kept in touch Letters passed and repassed. again and again. It is told that thers were dif- ferences. Some arrangements are said to have arisen. But in the light of yesterdays cere- mony. what of them?
 Montgomery, both agreed. should bs their meeting place. The Iowa bride and the Ala bama groom promised each that in this historic city they would stand before some Ministsr with ciasped hands and make their v0wB.
 Professor Porter reached the city yesterday and registered at the Gienmore. He asksd for and secured the bes troorn in the house. He intimated that he expected Q most innpor- tant guest.

MARIE CoRRELLI MAD.
Editor Left Her Name Out of the
 Paper.


 London. Oct. ii.-A curious quarrel has arisen between Marie Corelii. the author. and the editor of The Gentlewoman. The latter publishes letter marked Private and Con- hdential." in which Miss Corelli complains that her name was omitted from the list in- vited to the royal enclosure at the Braener Highland gathering. As the name of Lady Byron was mentioned and her ladyship was merely Miss Corellis guest, the author says: T can only conclude that my name was purposely omitted" She requests an expana- tion and says the omission caused the great est surprise and offense to many persons. ln- cluding Lady Byron,
 The editor of The Gentlewoman replies by saying that Miss Coreiii was quite correct in supposing that her name was purposeiy omitted. and that 1t was in accordance with instructions long since given by the editor ''in deference to Miss Correllis expressed opinion of newspaper puffs'' In all her books Miss Corelli gioried in opportunity of ex- pressing contempt for the press. and particu- larly for those ''snobs," Miss CorelHs favor ite word, who seek newspaper notoriety. Now he realizes that Miss Correlli has been mis- understood and that 1t would really have grati- fled her to have been named present in the royal enclosure He can only explain some little excuse for the mistake because of the apparent sincerity of Miss Corelli's letters and writings on the subject of "snobs'' and news papers. and explains that logical consistency compels him to believe that Miss Correlli. in making her letter private and confdential' only meant 8 request for publicity.

Expert Mail Handlers Working at
 St. Louis Depot.

St. Louis. Oct 1.-The Postofice De- partment of the United States govern ment was compelled to send force of expert mail handlers to the Union Sta- tion today in order to get the mails out on time
 The walkout of the mail handlers and baggagemen has placed the St. Louis Postoffice in a bad plight and very few mails are being received or sent out on schedule time. Last night few of the trains were able to leave the Union Sta- tion as scheduled. for they were obliged to await the arrival of the mail cars con- taining the outgoing mails.
 A worse condition of affairs prevailed today when the city division of the post office had received the consignment from only two important trains. whereas the mails from about sixteen should have been already distributed.
