Address in Package Of
Pillow Cases Begins
Romance.
Small Chance in Future for
the Boys Of Port
Chester.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

PORT CHESTER, N. Y, Sept 6.-The
wedding here to-day of Miss Amelia
Heyel, a pretty 1e-year-old girl of East
Port Chester, to William P. Manigault,
wealthy planter Of Memphis. Tenn. re-
veals an interesting romance. The first
time the planter ever saw his bride was
on last Monday, when he arrived here
from the South.
About a year ago Miss Heyel. In a
spirit OF fun, inclosed her address IN q
package Of pillow cases which she was
folding as a part of her duty at a large
linen factory. Later she received a letter
from a young man IN Tennessee. The
letter led to correspondence and an ex-
change Of photographs. FINALLY Mani
gault proposed and was accepted. Miss
Heyel learned afterward that he was
wealthy.
The wedding was performed at the
home Of the bride by Rev. T. E. White,
pastor OF the Presbyterian church. The
groom gave the bride a costly diamond
locket. and diamond pins to the brides
maids. ushers and best man.
When the couple left for Tennessee this
evening crowd Of the girls friends from
the factory where she was employed
gathered at the railroad station and
treated her TO a shower Of rice. The
girls say that Miss .Heyel's- experience
has taught them a lesson, and they In
tend to inclose their addresses in all of
the sheets and pillow cases they turn out
and see II they cannot get rich husbands.

RUsso-BU1eAR1AN ALLIANCE.
Alleged Treaty Agrees Upon Coop
Grafton in War.

PARIS, Sept 5.-A dispatch to the
Temps from Sofia, Bulgaria, confirms the
report that the official journal, Dnevnik.
which enjoys the confidence of the pal
ace. had published the sensational infor-
nation that treaty Of alliance exists be-
tween Russia and Bulgaria The Dnev-
mix claims to possess a copy of the treaty,
the terms of which guarantee that in case
of war between Bulgaria and Turkey
the former shall have the cooperation Of
Russia.
The Temps emphasizes the statement
and declares that the officials in Bulgaria
timed the announcement so as to give
Turkey a final warning of the danger of
further menacing Bulgarians.
ambassador Constans' latest report
from Constantinople says the embassies
there are constantly in danger Of being
attacked by agitators or fanatics, but it
does not mention the landing of marines.
The officials here say that If marines
were landed they would be from the small
guardships maintained at Constantinople
for police purposes, but which do not
form part of the regular fleet; that the
landing of marines, If it has taken place,
would not be considered a naval debark-
ment in its serious sense or a preliminary
war measure. BY agreement with Turkey
each Of the powers maintains two guard
ships in Constantinople, France having
two small gunboats.
1t is said that If the United States de-
sires the gunboat Machias to go to Con-
stantinople for guard duty it will be
wholly a question between Turkey and
the United States, as certainly France,
and probably the other powers, would
interpose objection to the Machias
passing the Dardanelles.

The trial of the fourteen defendants has

PENDANTS have tried to prove alibis or
that they were innocent bystanders.
Sheriff Whitlock and his deputies, who
defended the Jail against the attack by
the mob by the of shotguns and re-
volvers, thus saving a negro prisoner
from being lynched, identified all OF those
convicted.
During the afternoon Richard Roberts
turned States evidence and identified five

Dodge and said that she stood on a

Whitlock.
Eight other men are under indictment,

SOFIA, Bulgaria, Sept b.-Reports OF
the proceedings of the Ministerial Coun-
ell at Varna indicate that there has been
no change In the attitude OF the Govern
ment on the Macedonian question For
the moment the dissolution Of the So
branJe forms the chief subject Of discus
sion. The council is supposed to be de-
voting Itself chiefly to internal affairs.
The coming elections probably will afford
quite as much excitement as the proceed
ings Of the insurgents.
Bands of revolutionaries continue to
cross the frontier, but scanty news of
fighting in Northern Macedonia is re-
ceived here. The insurgents are believed
have assembled.
Tho Turkish forces are reported to have
devastated the entire district Of Kostear.
In the vnayet of Monastir, and to have
burned every village in the district
The Autonomye states that the inhab-
itants Of fourteen villages around Pros
pan and Okrtda have joined the revolu-
tionaries, and that bands of insurgents
numbering 1900 are occupying strong posi-
tions In the mountains.
The numerous rumors of the mobiliza-
ton OF the Bulgarian army which have
been in circulation here are declared to
be absolutely false. The Government is
sending troops to strengthen the frontier
guard, which action, according to dis
patch from Ria, Is likely to cause trou-
Bile between the troops and the insur-
gents.

BLACKDAMP IN A WELL
CLAIMS THREE VICTIMS
Overcome by Gas, Two Men and q
Boy Fall Into Water and
Drown.

SHARON, Pa, Sept 5.-Three men lost
their lives In we'll at Neshannock, sew
en- miles east Of Sharon, to-day. They
were Joseph Spencer, S5 years old, we'll
to-do farmer; his son Walter, aged II
years, and August Miller, q years. Spen-
Ger and his son were engaged in cleaning
out a well near their home. The well is
thirty feet deep and had been drained ex-
cept Of q few feet of water. Spencer and
his son had descended to the bottom Of
the well. leaving Spencer's brother, who
is q cripple, above the surface to take
out the buckets Of dirt as fast as they
came up.
They had been at work only a few
minutes when the crippled brother saw
that something was wrong, and called for
Miller to come to his assistance. Miller
descended the well TO investigate and
was not seen alive again. When further
assistance was secured the men were
raised with graphing hooks. all of them
being dead. The theory is that black
damp overcame them and they fell into
the water. which was sufficiently deep to
drown them.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 5.-Although
in high Turkish official circles the ten
dency is decidedly against war, the un-
rest among the military element and in
certain sections of the Mussulman civil
population has increased markedly dur
nificance is attached to the Sultan's gift
of wooden coats to the troops and the
appeal to the public for similar contribu-
tions. The local papers are further in
flaming the Mussulmans by publishing
highly colored accounts of the ill-treat-
ment of Mussulmans by Bulgarian bri-
gand bands"
The opinion of the foreign diplomats
here is divided regarding the issue. Great
Importance is attached to the coming
meeting between the Gar and Emperor
Francis Joseph, which is expected to be
followed by decisive steps in the direc-
ton Of guaranteeing the Macedonians
radical reforms.
Minister Leishman has received a tele-
gram from United States Consul Ravn-
dal at Beirut saying that the authorities
at that place apparently have not yet ar
rested the man who fired at Vice Consul
Magelssen, and adding that the arrest.
among others, of 15-year-old boy seems
to indicate that they do not realize the
gravity OF the situation. Ravndal also re-
fers to the general state of insecurity at

Retaking Of Neveska.
LONDON, Sept 5.-Mail advices from
Salonica says that the seizure of Ne
veska by the Bulgarians on August % and
it's reoccupation by the Turks on August
q were bloodless exploits. The Turkish
garrison, consisting of about 200 men, was
surprised and did not resist. About
eighty Of the soldiers surrendered and the
remainder escaped without their arms
and fell into the hands of another Bull
garian band. The prisoners were not
harmed, but were utilized to carry the
captured arms and ammunition to the
mountains. They were then liberated
When the Turks reoccupied Neveska
and Klissura, on August q and % re-
spectively, the fears OF the inhabitants of
a repetition of the Krushevo excesses
were not fulfilled. The conduct of the SOL
diers at both places was correct.
1t is supposed that the official Turkish
report saying 200 soldiers out of a gar
rison of 240 were killed at Neveska was
due either to the unwillingness of the au-
thorities to admit that such d large gar
rison was so easily captured or to the
belief that the insurgents would certainly
kill their prisoners.
