carneoie,s Niece Secretly Wed.

New York.-It became known re.
Gently that Andrew Carnegies niece,
Nancy was secretly married about a
year ago to riding master named
HEAVIER, whom she met at Newport.
Mr.. Carnegie said, "My niece was
married in New York about a year ago
to Mr.. HEAVIER, riding teacher in the
family Mr. HEAVIER is an honest, up
right young man. / would rather
Nancy had married poor, honest
man than a worthless duke. We want
no rich men in the family"
Mr. HEAVIER was formerly coachman
for his wifes mother, Mrs. Thomas M
Carnegie, in Pittsburg and at her win.
ter home at Fernandina, Fla. He was
a widower with two small children.
The marriage was practically an
elopement, and none of the family
will say where the actual ceremony
took place. HEAVIER left Mrs. Car
negie's employment after telling her
that he loved Nancy. At that time the
Carnegie family was living at its win
ter home "Dungenness," an island
midway between Jekyll island and
Fernandina. Fla. Miss Carnegie fol
lowed Heaver north and the marriage
followed, with none of her relatives
present. Directly afterward Mr. and
Mrs. HEAVIER went abroad. They re-

unique fire by an alarm from box 61,
Tuesday afternoon. The fire was in
Ii !wo-horse wagon loaded with new
furniture. The wagon was marked
Weber & Co., Boston.
The driver did not know how the
fire started. Some women called his
attention to smoke in the back of the
wagon and he drove at top speed for
the corner of Hancock and Squantum
streets, where there is a watering
trough and fire alarm box.
When the wagon reached this point
the furniture was in flames and the
wagon burning. The driver rang in
the fire alarm and began to pile the
blazing furniture in the trough.
A telephone pole stands close to the
trough and this had caught fire from
the burning furniture when the fire
men arrived. They saved the wagon
and the telephone pole, but the furni-
ture was destroyed. The driver did
not give the loss to the firemen, but
they estimated it at more than $l00..

Russians Fear roao,s Tactics.

st. Petersburg-The keenest inter-
est is manifested in the dispatches re-
ferring to the Russian squadron COM
manded by Admiral Rojestvensky, but
the admiralty claims to be as much in
the dark as the public regarding the
plans of the admiral.
The report that part of the squadron
was sighted off Hongkong is not cred
tied here, however, as Hongkong is
far off his route.
The main question with naval Off
cials is whether Roiestvensky will
elect to proceed northward through
the straits of Formosa or bear of into
the Pacific through Bashi channel
(south of the island of FOrmosa) or
Balingtang channel (north of the
island of I4uzon. p. I)
The conviction is growing stronger
that the japanese heavy division is
concentrated close to the shores of
Japan and it is also believed that Ad-
miral Togo will decline to give battle
in the open sea.
This is what the admiralty officials
hope for. as it sincerely believes Ro.
jestvensky would have more than an
even chance if the two squadrons lined
in an open fight.
They believe that Togos tactics will
be night torpedo boat attacks in at
tempts to scatter the Russian ships,
putting some of them out of action and
then picking off the damaged vessels
in the morning. as it is recognized
that II one of the Russian ships is in
jured it might be too dangerous for
the whole squadron to stand by her
and thus offer big target for the Jap
anese torpedoes.
Such running fight accompanied
by nightly torpedo attacks, therefore,
Is what is most dreaded.
The admiralty has no confirmation
of the reported cutting Of the cable
connecting the island of Formosa with
the Chinese mainland at Foochow, but
it is pointed out that even If true, this
would not sever connection with For.
