THE COREY MARRIAGE.

The marriage Of William Ellis Corey
head of the steel trust, to Mabelle Gill
man, the actress, has proved to be
costly venture. Not only did the in
fatuation which led him to divorce
the wife who aided him in reaching his
present position of power, estrange
him from his child and relatives
and place him in a position to be de-
posed from his position as president
Of the United States Steel corporation,
but it cost him a snug fortune before
he succeeded in leading the actress to
the altar. Here Is an estimate of the
steel kings expensive love making:
Settlement with first wife. $4,000 900

lOCdl $6,Ul4, 69U
Corey's happiness, If there can be
any happiness in the union, was secur-
ed at a great sacrifice. In Pittsburg,
his home, the old friends of the family
are siding in with his former wife and
have placed a ban Of ostracism upon
the new Mrs. Corey that does not be-
speak happiness if the two return
there 10 live. This sentiment was ex-
pressed in an editorial given publicity
in the Pittsburg Leader last night
which characterized the match thus:
"It was nothing more than bargain
in disgusting animal passion, and
one that in the interest Of public de-
cency should be forgotten as soon as
possible. They should be allowed to
enjoy their honeymoon in obscurity,
ostracised by all men and women who
have any respect for the sancity of the
home"
Corey will be given time now to
question himself If it was worth while.

Careless.


During the financial dog-days of a
Southern college wealthy merchant
called upon the president to say that
he had provided in his Will for a
rather handsome bequest to the col.
lege, to be paid after the death OF
himself and his wife. The president
was overjoyed. and asked permission
to announce the gift in the city pa
per. This request was granted on
condition that the donor's name
should not be mentioned.
Accordingly the president wrote a
eulogistic notice of the donation and
hurried to tse newspaper office. In
his haste he neglected to give his
item title. The editor, hurried and
worried, absently clapped on the first
words that came to his mind; and the
Item appeared the next morning with
the following caption:

John l.. Rockey is considering the

Harrisburg (SpeciaD A young
bull jumped the fence of a yard in
which he was confined at Marys-
vile, seven miles west of here, fol-
lowed the road to West Fairview,
plunged into the Susquehanna River
at that point and after reaching the
Harrisburg shore dashed madly
through the business section of this
city, injuring several people. One
or these was policeman Charles
Humphries, who bleeding at the ears,
nose and mouth was taken to the
hospital where the surgeons sent
word to the police station and the
members of his family that his con-
dition was critical.
Patrolman Humphries was so for
chilly thrown to the street that his
head struck the curb and he was
rendered unconscious. The bull
dashed on down Market Street and
was corralled near the Reading Rail-
way, but later got away from the
crowd of excited people.
Benjamin TENTS and S. s. Grove
were also taken to the hospital with
injuries received by being gored by
the bull at Tenth and Market Streets.
Neither is seriously injured. At last
accounts the frightened animal was

BEATEN, BOUND AND, ROBBED.
Young Man with Gag In His Mouth
Wriggled Up Steep Hill.


Easton Especially John Baier. a
well-known young man of this city,
was waylaid and robbed while re-
turning from a visit to the South
side. He was found bound and
gagged with wound on his head
and nearly unconscious from the
loss of blood and shock following
the attack.
It was late, as Baier was passing a
dark and lonely point, that he was
struck from behind and felled. He
remembers nothing after that until
he recovered consciousness hours
later. Then he was bound hand and
foot and there was a gaglng in his
mouth. He could raise no outcry
and lay upon the sidewalk for a long
time in the vain hope that a pedes-
train would pass and find him in his
predieament.
Finally he decided to make a fight
to free himself and gradually work
ed his way to the stop of a steep
hill at the foot of which there are
a number of houses. He wriggled
over the summit and rolled down
the incline. The roll down the
hill added to his injuries and
when he reached the base he was
compelled to rest until he regained
his strength a?d nerve. Then he
crawled to a doorstep and attracted
the attention of the .1mates of the
house by beating his ham against
the door.
Baier was taken in and a physical
was sent for. He could not describe
his assaiiants, but said that he had
been relieved of about $50.
