ASKS THREE MILLIONS.


MORRISTOwN, N. j.. March 25.-Mrs.
George F. Stone, a resident of this place.
has for the third time been made a de-
PENDANT in suit for damages by William
B. Marvel, who seeks to recover s., 0O0 900
from the estate of George F. Stone, who
died Jan. /, 1885,
The suit involves mines near the Mediter-
ranean and royal concessions from Spain.
According to the complaint Marvel went
to Spain in 1868 and secured four iron mines
about two miles from Almeria. He also Sc
cured a charter from the Spanish govern
ment for building narrow-gauge railroad
from the mines to the seashore. His plan
was to build the railway. work the mines
and sell and ship the ore, from which he
expected to produce the finest steel. On
his return to this country the Marvel Com
pany, limited, was organized with capital
of 81, 100000. Mr.. Stone was a special part
ner. The venture was not successful and
later the whole business was put in the
hands of Stone, who placed bonds of the
company in London. Even that proved un-
productive, and finally everything came to
standstil. Marvel declares Stone was re-
sponsible for the collapse.

sage says:
when 1 abdicated it was not from any
small-minded nor interested calcula-
ton, still less was 1t the result of any
sorry or ridiculous farce which has no
place in a heart warmed by the heat of
great ideals" He says he believes his
in the interest of the peace of the repub-
lie. with my separation to-day" he says.
nobody would lose and all would gain,
since this would imply that my efforts and
my sacrifices were always and under all
circumstances at the service of the re-
public at its first CALL"
After passing in review the other diff
says he saw how his intentions were mis-
represented and he was disheartened and
at that moment resigned. "Notwithstand-
ing those reasons which were weighty to
my mind" he continues, Congress does
not accept my resignation and insists that
1 should continue that should not persist
therein, but considers me still useful in
sire and resign myself to the new obliga-
lions imposed by my country, but only
until the work Of pacifying the nation shall
be complete and order re-established in
the public administration. Remember 1t
well, senators and deputies, l believe my
separation necessary: you think otherwise.
1 hope the future will prove you right. Ac-
for the generous demonstration of which
you have made me the object.
When 1t was known that he had not de-
signed popular demonstration took place.

BUFFALO, N. Y, March 25-Since the
name of Arthur r. Pennell became so
prominent in the Burdick inquest the au-
thorities have been accommodating evidence
bearing upon the death of Pennell and his
wife by the plunge of an automobile into
quarry 1t is likely an inquest into the
death of the Pencils will follow the Bur-
dick inquest. In tracing the movements Of
the Pencils on the evening of the fatal
trip on Tuesday. March 10. the police nave
learned much. During the hour and ten
minutes of that drive four interesting Incl
dents that seem to be well substantiated
took place. A fifth incident, the alleged act
of Mrs. Pennell in emptying a small flask
of whisky and throwing the bottle away,
seems to have the shadow of doubt cast
upon ii, although Jacob Geiger, laborer
who says he witnessed the incident, posi-
lively AYERS it is so.
The first incident is the driving of the au-
tomobile up and down in front of Frank
Geiger's farmhouse at Bailey and Kensing-
ton avenues slower than a person would
walk and in a pouring rain for about half
an hour. The second incident was the stop
at George Volk's saloon, on Kensington
avenue, where Volk says Pennell bought a
glass of whisky and took another glass of
the same liquor out to his wife. Volk' s
mother lives next door to the Pennell home
in Cleveland avenue, and he is. therefore,
well acquainted with Pennell.
The third incident was a repetition OF the
Bailey-avenue lettering and maneuvering
at Kensington avenue and Crider street for
five or ten minutes at the same snaillike
md in he dron
The fourth incident the last feature of
the drive aside from the tragedy itself, is
the strangest If not the most significant
of all. This is the incident of the Pencils
letting down the canopy or top of the ma
chine so that they were exposed to the
heavy downpour of rain. This happened
two or three minutes before the automobile
took it's plunge. 1t was in Kensington av-
enue, west of Order street, about a quar-
ter of mile from the scene of the trag-
edy. Three persons living in house near
by saw the incident. Their story Is SUBJ
stantially follows:
1T was just about 5:45 when we first saw
the automobile in Kensington avenue. 1t
was just creeping along. The man and
woman were conversing quietly and intent
ly. Because of the unusual spectacle, as 1t
was raining fast, we watched them. At a
point four hundred feet from Order street
we were surprised to see the top of the au-
tomobile lowered. There was nothing over
their heads then, and the rain was coming
down in torrents.
1T was commented upon at the time that
the woman's white crowned hat would be
ruined. They were in sight for five or ten
minutes. The machine started off In the
direction of the stone quarry. They could
reach the quarry going at fair speed in a
minute or two from the last time they
| were seen"

There were no new cases OF plague and
no deaths at Mazatlan, Mex, on Wednes-
day. A number of small houses found in
an unsanitary condition have been burned
by order of the authorities. There are
eighteen plague patients at Siqueros. but
the general feeling is that the plague is be-
ing stamped out at this port, and there is
a much more hopeful feeling.

old and a merchant and wealthy rancher.
During the winter Dowdell had been keep

Judge LaCombe. in the United States
Circuit Court, at New York, has denied

evidential papers arrive and the precise
acts complained OF are more fully set forth.
The application to discharge Wright from
custody also was denied. Maurice Inter
myer, Wright's counsel, said he would at
once appeal the case to the United States
Supreme Court on a writ of error.
The body of Anthony Rubodinski a Hun
garian, was found lying across the tracks
of the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad
near Shamokin, Pa. His head was battered
to a pulp and his clothing was full of
horse hair. Coroner Dreher is of the opin-
ion that the man was murdered. his body
placed on horse and brought from min
ing village to the railroad and placed on
the track for train to pass over. During
the last strike Rubodinsh was nonunion

Edwin Smith and Fremont Morse, of the
Coast and Geodetic Survey, are preparing
to exchange telegraphic time signals over
the new Pacific cable TO determine the pre-
else difference of time and longitude be-
tween San Francisco and Honolulu. The
probabilities are that the longitude of
Honolulu is not much in error, but its de-
termination to date has depended upon
chronemeter transportation from distant
positions, method now only used where
telegraphic land lines or ocean cables are
not available.

owners never pay less than slo per day.
and in harvest time the wages go up TO $50

young farmers are foolish. IL seems TO me.
to stay around here. inasmuch as they get

money for clothes.
