rhe PRINCES Chimay.

London. Aug. 1S.-The Princess
Chimay, formerly Miss Clara Ward, OF
Detroit, Mich, who has on a number Of
occasions created sensation by her &C.
centric actions, was married in the Reg
istry Office in London yesterday after
noon to Guglielmo Ricardo. Before the
ceremony the Princess, in the presence
of witnesses, gave Rigo, her violinist
paramount, $4,000, upon the receipt OF
which he signed a paper resigning all
claims upon her.
During the wedding the Princess, who
was handsomely dressed and rouged and
powdered, kept wetting her fingers at
her lips and plastering down Ricardo
scalp lock and otherwise fondling him.
After the ceremony was over the newly
married couple left Immediately for Paris
on their honeymoon.
The Princess Chimay is not much
past thirty years of age, but in her life
time has had many and varied expert
ences. On the death of her father,
Capt Eben Ward, who was the wealthiest
man of his day in Michigan, the Prln-
cess received an income of from thirty
to forty thousand dollarsa year and be-
came heiress to between three and four
million dollars. While at school abroad
she met Prince Joseph of Chimay and
Curaman, who belonged TO the highest
rank of Belgian aristocracy, and in 1890
married him in Paris.
Four years later there were rumors OF
a scandal. Tie princess had become in
fatuated with fiddler named Rigo whom
she had heard play in Paris cafe. Her
eIopement with Rigo followed. The
Prince of Cnimay obtained divorce,
but his former wife and Rigo did not
marry for the very good reason that Rigo
already had a wife. Since that time the
princess and Rigo have travelled all over
the continent together.
The princess first saw Ricardo while
she was travelling in Italy recently.
They were passing small railway sta
ton through the window of her car she
saw Ricardo walking about the station.
She made an excuse to leave Rigo at
the next station, and returned to talk to
Ricardo. She found he was but poor
railway clerk, but he was handsome and
won the Princess heart. When she re-
turned to Paris Ricardo went with her,
and her marriage to him yesterday was
but the expected sequence of her prev
iOus actions.

WASHINGTON AS A FIREMAN

Alexandria, always ready to royalty
welcome her guests, feels that in well
coming the Virginia 6remen she not on
" gives the honor due to brave men and
true, who risk the sacrifice of time, limb
and lie itself to save the hearths and
homes of their feliow-citizens, but they
also recognize that their foremost citizen,
George Washington, was a fireman and
that this illustrious man on two occas-
ions decidedly emphasized his admira-
ton of the calling and proved more by
his actions than words his respect for the
profession of the volunteer fireman.
These events, memorable in themselves,
are, first, his purchase in Philadelphia in
1878 of one of the first patent French
hand engines ever imported into this
country, for which he paid 70 pounds,
20 shillings, and sent the same to this
city Gt is said by OK team) and present.

which he was q member.
An engraving of this engine has been
selected by committees of the Alexandria
fire companies as the design for the fire.

The New York Stock Market.

New York, Aug. 1S.-It was evident
in early dealings in the stock market
that the speculative contest which has
been waging for some time was still in
progress. News from the crop regions
was more favorable than of late, high
temperature being reported in the north
west and a paTtial relief being afforded
to the corn crop in other regions. The
sharp break in wheat future tended to
confirm the agricultural news. In view
of these features the general market was
inclined to harden. The campaign
against steel preferred was continued
and it lost I. The failure of the attack
on sugar to develop liquidation else
where tended TO restrict bear operations
in the second hour and the market be-
gan to recover. The unGertone of the
market remains strong.

Cine 10 the Ahdncted BOY.

New York, Aug. 1S.-The belief is
gaining ground that the kidnappers of
little Antonio Mannino have fed to Italy
with him. The steamer Nord America
sailed yesterday for Naples and Cocoa.
A few minutes before the gang plank was
hauled in two men, hauling boy be-
tween them, ran down the dock and
boarded the vessel. The boy was cry
ing bitterly. Two men and a boy we're
booked on the Nord Americas sailing
list but there was nothing to show where
they had been living The Italian Con-
sui will be asked to see that the vessel
is thoroughly searched upon reaching her
first port of call.

Labor Troubles I'm New York.

New York, Aug. 1S.-The arrest of
Philip Weiuseimer, the acknowledged
leader of the unionists, involved in the
building strikes and lock-outs on the
charge Of extortion, late yesterday after
noon, has intensified the bitterness in
the building war now being waged here
by employers and employees. The union
lists are angry today at what was declared
to be an absurd effort by the Building
Employers Association to repeat the
crusade carried on last year against Sam
Parks. 1t is not denied by the Building
Employers Association that the arrest of
Weinseimer was move liz the building
war. Charles l.. Eiditz, president Of
the association, who made call at the
district attorneys Office yesterday prior
to the arrest, made statement recently
to the employers in which he declared
that they we're simply renewing the old
fight against graft. Weinseimer, who
was released in 81, 500 bail, will be ar
raigned this afternoon. Last night the
Building Trades Alliance passed vote
of confidence in him. The members OF
the unions point out that there is abso-
lutely nothing against him but the UNI
corroborated evidence Of Geo. j. Essig,
the master plumber, of Brooklyn, who
made the complaint.

made matters of secondary Importance.
The decorations have been profuse and
tasteful and many other incidents have
marked the celebration. Each organiza-
ton in the line made creditable appear
ance, and the interest manifested by each
and every participant was commendable
Every city is naturally proud of its fire
companies. Those of the Old Domin-

thousands who voluntarily work at all
times pro bono publico. All have mani
tested pleasantly and nothing has occur
red to mar the festivities. The scenes ID
