Career of A. r. Peacock.
Mr.. Alexander Rowland Peacock is
another Smoky City candidate for
fame. Mr.. Peacock is worth many mil
lions of dollars. When he came to
New York he evidently made up his
mind to live up to the traditions and
habits of the lively Pittsburgers who
had preceded him. To perpetuate his
name he had a $4,000 peacock made
of genuine diamonds, sapphires and
emeralds and gave it to his wife. He
also had a peacock put on the livery of
his servants.
They tell how when Mrs. Carnegie
was buying her wedding trousseau in
this city years ago she was waited
upon by handsome young saleswom-

the young woman. "That is my in

That's a Scotch name," said the

Wilmington physician was called to
Pigeon Point, where the ship was an

injuries as compound fractures of the

Corey's Lurid Exploits.

Some time afterward Mr.. Corey gave
Mr. Schwab a Lucullian feast. The
costliest wines, the daintiest dollhouse
fruits and the rarest flowers were lib
orally provided The walters wore
colonial costumes with powdered wigs,
and the souvenirs were silver card
cases. Previous to this. however, Mr..
Corey had emulated /other Pittsburg
rich men by figuring in swimming
party of which Miss Maybelle Gilman.
an actress, was a member. The party
took place at the Pittsburg natatorium.
There were hot birds and cold bottles
and some very pretty exhibitions of
plain and fancy swimming
At this party an infatuation for Miss
Gilman is said to have sprung up on
the part of the millionaire. An es-
| arrangement took place between Mr..
and Mrs. Corey supposedly on account
of Miss Gilman, and at present Mrs.
Corey is in the west, where she is re-
siding with a view to securing d.

AS IT, was getting dusk, he urged the
horse he was riding to a faster gait,

severe pains in his back, and had tc

KIDNAPPED His Children.


Kee and Phipps factions waxed bitter
in their denunciations.
Kidnapped His Children.
Following the return of Mrs. Phipps
to this country, her two little children
were forcibly taken from the Waldorf
Astoria by Mr.. Phipps and hurried
away to Denver, where he had resided
for some time. It was openly stated
that when the divorce proceedings
were over Mrs. Phipps would marry
Hart Mckee, but in the meantime that
eccentric young man had become en-
thralled with Mrs. Hugh Tevis, who
few years previous had been wed
and widowed within six weeks.
Mrs. Tevis and Mr.. Mckee sailed
away to Europe on the same steamer,
and shortly afterward were married.
Things were rather dull in the Pitts
burg colony for awhile until Mrs.
Phipps went out to Denver, where the
divorce case was brewing.
Mrs. Phipps began contest for the
possession of the children, but event.
ually terms were reached under which
a divorce was granted on the ground
of desertion. Then almost before their
friends had ceased talking about their
case Mr.. and Mrs. Phipps made up,
and it is said that they will be re-
married. This seems to have finished
the calendar of sensations as far as the
! Phipps and Mckee millionaires are
concerned.
Another Pittsburg millionaire who
had a varied and noteworthy career
was James King Clarke, known to his
friends as Jamie"
Young Clarke inherited a part of
the millions of his father, Charles J.
Clarke, of Pittsburg. He was in the
habit of spending part of his time
in Washington, and it was there that
he met Miss Esther Bartlett. They
were married on April &C., 1899, in
Washington, and with the best man,
Macintosh Kellogg, journeyed to New
York, where they took rooms at one
of the big hotels.
AS related by Clarke in the suit for
divorce, which began month later,
upon their arrival in this city he left
his bride in his room with Mr.. Kellogg
while he went downstairs to look after
some baggage. He was detained for
some time. On his return he found the
door locked, and when it YVES finally
opened Mr.. Kellogg's shirt front was
stained with the violets which Mrs.

able to land anywhere, he had no op-
portunity of communicating either
with his family or his friends in the
stricken city.
O'Brien is % years old, clean-cut in
appearance and talks like a man of
refinement. When seen at the hos
pital he said:

my liking has been cured forever.

"Just think of it," he broke out
tearfully. Il was their only support.

has little fear of the earthquake,
though that is an added anxiety.
"Just as soon as I get out of the
hospital I'll go back to them if I have
to walk all the distance" he con-
cluded. And, besides, I am going to
