ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 29.-Charles L
Elliott, "a years old, Of Olivette, st
Louis county, and Miss Sadie G. Mar

freight cars on the Belt line near OIL

fornia. They were to have been mar
ried Monday night, but Miss Marshalps
arrival was delayed and she did not
reach st. Louis until Tuesday. Yes
terday afternoon Elliott went to Clay
ton alone and was at first refused a
license. Later, accompanied by Justice
A. H. Werremeyer, whom he knows, he
got the document. Mrs. Skinner Eli
otis mother, has large home, but had
the ceremony been held there the cou-
pie would have missed their train.
Elliott determined to be married at
the trackside. Several freight cars had
been derailed at the point and joined
into one big apartment, which is COM
fortably furnished. The ceremony was
hardly completed when the train pass
ed at 6:15 o'clock, and the bride had
not even time to remove her veil be-
fore leaping aboard.

SURVIVOR dashed TO RAFT.
Crew OF Twensy-One Go Down With
The Ship.

Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. Especially.
The steel steamer Cypress, owned
by the Lackawanna Transportation
Company, and on her second trip
down the Lakes with cargo of ore,
was wrecked in Lake Superior, off
Deer Park, which is about 80 miles
from Grand Marais, and all of the
crew of %, excepting the second
mate, were lost. He was washed
ashore near Deer Park dashed to
life raft and barely alive. He is in
critical condition, and thus far has
been able to tell only that the steam
er was the Cypress and that he is
the sole survivor. He is being given
careful medical attention in the hope
that his life can be saved. He has
suffered terribly from cold and ex-
posture, in addition to the battering
of the waves. Two bodies have also
washed ashore at Deer Park.
The Cypress was new boat, 440
feet long, with a capacity of 7,400
tons. She had made but one trip to
the head of the Lakes and was bound
down on her second trip. 1t is be-
lieved here that the machinery of the
Cypress may have met with an acct
dent, as the northwest storm last
night was not severe enough to wreck
such a strong ship. No details will
be received here until the second
mate revives sufficiently from his ter
rible experience to talk. A careful
patrol of the beach is being made
by the life-saving crew in the search
for bodies.
Further details of the disaster
seem to indicate that the founder
ing of the brand-new ship may have
been due to a sudden leak through
which the waters rushed with such
volume as to overcome all efforts to
keep the vessel afioat.

TRAGIC ENDING.
Gen. Webb Syck Supposed To Have
Murdered His Bride.

Pikeville, KY. Especially. = Gen.
Webb Syck, Civil War veteran, it
is believed, murdered his young
bride of two weeks and then COM
mitted suicide at their home, in Fair
view, a suburb. Syck was found
dead in the yard, while his wife's
body lay in a bed. Both were cloth
ed only in night gowns. She was
formerly Mrs. Jane Burris, connect
ed with some of the most prominent
families in Northeastern, Kentucky.
The shooting is supposed to have
followed a bitter quarrel of the pre-
vious day. General Syck and his
bride had just returned from their
honeymoon trip through the South.
The murdered woman was General
Syck's third wife. His first wife died
many years ago and his second wife
divorced him 10 years ago.

SHIP ABLAZE AT SEA.
The Guilia Afire In Midocean During
Violent Storm.

New York Especially The Austri-
an steamer Giulia, which just arrived
from Trieste with 1853 passengers,
had a narrow escape from destruction
by fire in mid-ocean during a violent
storm on October 8. The crew fought
the flames all day before they were
extinguished, while the panic-stricken
passengers prayed for help.
The Giulia left Trieste on Septem-
Der IA, calling at Patras and AL
meria. After passing Gibralter, on
September 25, the steamer encoun-
tered stormy weather, with heavy seas.
Der 3, while 700 miles west of the
Azore Island, one of the crew dis
covered fire in the cargo at the bot
tom of No. 2 hold.
The wind was blowing violently
from the southwest, and the Giulia
was laboring heavily. Captain Che
rubini ordered part of the cargo
broken out, and water was turned
into the hold, but the fire stubbornly
resisted the efforts of the crew.
In the meantime the passengers, of
whom there were 81 in the cabin
and 736 in the steerage, learned of
the danger. Many of them fell on
their knees in prayer, while others
became historical, adding to the
cares of the harassed officers and
crew when every effort was neces-
sary to save the ship and her big
company.
The ships boats were prepared to
meet any emergency, but after the
hold had been flooded and part of the
cargo thrown overheard the fire was
extinguished about O'Clock in the
afternoon.

when Frisco passenger train No. 2O3,
due here at 5.45 A. M, was run into
by Louisville and Nashville freight
train at Pratt City, six miles west of

Both trains were running slowly.
Engineer Donohue, of the freight
train, says he saw the passenger in
time but could not stop, because all
the cars were not equipped with air
brakes.
The Pullman car Leeds, third from
the end, was struck squarely and
thrown on its side, every passenger
receiving injuries. Pullman Condue-
tor ]. C. Smith was instantly killed,
the body being badly nnangled. He

ENGLAND NOT WORRIED.
Officials See No Cause For War In
Fleets Pacific Trip.

London (By Cable) The view of
the London Times" that the de-
spatch of the American battleship
feet to the Pacific is likely to have
an adverse effect on the settlement
of the outstanding questions between
the United States and Japan, is not
shared by officials or diplomats here.
Great Britain, of all the Powers,
is the least likely to criticise free
dom of moveing fleets in time of
peace, as she always has made a
practice of giving her officers an OPP
portunity to learn something of those
parts of the world in which her in
terests lie. At present Great Britain
is assembling a great fleet in the
North Sea, and Germany has a fleet
there to Offset that of Great Britain,
but this has never been considered
as being a possible cause for war.
