AGED UNCLE OF COREY
 WEEPS OVER WEDDING
Says Coming Marriage to Ma belle Gilman Will Disgrace
 the Family Name.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, May 7.--Sews that Mabelle Gilman had personally announced her coming marriage to President W Ellis Corey of the Unit ed States Steel Corporation, was not well received here today, at least by one person, that J. 9 Corey, the old coal king, uncle of the steel man, who gave w. Ellis CoToy his first po- sition and who has been very out spoken regarding the F3y his nephew has been behaving in the past few years. The elder Corey, who is T5 years old, wept this afternoon when shown that the wedding would surely occur. He said:
 q am sorry, very sorry. that Ellis is going to marry that painted crea- ture of the stage and I do not think that any good can come of it. It is not nature nor is it human for one to divorce the wife of his youth, the one who bore him children and stood by him through all his poverty, in order that he might marry the ac- tress. I am an old man and may not live to see the day that Ellis Tues his bargain, but the time will come Such doings cannot be blessed and I proph- esy dire results from this. It would do me no good to tell Ellis this, but he knows my sentiments on this sub ject as well as on some others. I had hoped the name of Corey would al ways be upheld. I will die still re- gretting the actions of Ellis Corey"

Pittsburg Widow Pays Dentist S500o to Mary Her and Live at Ease, and Gets the Merry Hal Hall

PITTSBURGH. Pa. May 7.-An. other bouncing. buxom Pittsuurgu widow. with money and desire for an other husband, today admitted having been stung. Mrs. R. L. Frazer, who is |, lair, fat, but not quite forty, filed suit in court asking that one E. D. Butter worth, a dentist, be required to pay back to her s5000, with some months interest. She confesses that she had a weakness for Butterworth, also for the balmy air of Southern California She has also the money to keep ner- self and husband in the Southwest, go she offered pntterworth s5OOO to sell out his business, marry her and spend the rest of his days spending her money in Los Angeles.
 She sets forth that Butterworth was much pleased with the proposition, but he wanted to be shown the money. This was easy. Mrs. Frazer peeled S5000 off her roll and handed it over She now sets forth that she got the merry laugh from Butterworth, who made some pretense toward sel2nA his business to a woman named Ross, but she says he never did this, nor has he made any move toward marry ing her and going to California, as he had so faithfully promised.
 All she wants now is her own money back, with little bit of in terest. She says she will go to Cali fornia by herself now.

HELPLESS BRIDE SEES
 HUSBAND DROWN
AgOnizing Moments On Beach While Life Savers Try in
 Vain to Rescue Man.

LONG BEACH, May Mrs. Ar thur Curter, nee Grace BiXell of No 93S Long Beach avenue, Los Angeles d bride of seven months, sat on the beach today and saw her husband meet his death in the surf, despite the frantic efforts of the life-savers to reach the drowning man.
 Custer, who was 9, and conductor on the South Pasadena line of the Pacific Electric, came down to the beach to spend the day. Mrs. Custer did not care to don a bathing suit and remained on the sand, proudly watch ing her husband as he breasted the breakers gallantly, going out beyond the life lines. The combers were un- usually high, and their force evidently sapped Clusters strength or else a cramp seized him, and he was soon being buffeted about by the waves, unable to make headway. He called loudly for help, and then a monster breaker hid him from view, and when it broke and came rolling in, Custer had disappeared.
 The lifeguards made an intellectual effort to reach the victim, but the surf boat capsized, and, although righted at once, valuable moments were lost. Guard Witte swam to the spot, but could not reach Custer in time, Among those who saw the trageay was Thomas Saeger, uncle of Attor- ney Robinson, who lost his life in the same manner Monday afternoon, and his grief was almost IS great as that of the horror-stTicken wife of this, the second victim of the oceans greed.
 Drag hooks have been at work all afternoon, without success.

ner Investigating.

NEW YORK, June 13.-Suspicious cir
cumstances in the death of Oliver Davis
Palmer, an aged artist resulted in an in
vestigation yesterday by Coroner Harbur-
ger. An autopsy will be made today to de-
termine whether Palmer died from natural
causes. DR.. Arthur Beatty told the coro-
ner that he believed Palmer's death was
suspicious, and he refused a death certifl-
cate.
Mr.. Palmer, who was seventy-one years
old. lived with his wife and three daugh-
tiers at III West Goth street. One of the
daughters, Miss Ella Palmer, says that she
is a physician, a graduate of a medical col
lege in Philadelphia, but has no license to
practice in New York. Several weeks ago
her father became Ill and she treated him
for blood disease. He grew worse, and
on May % DR.. Beatty was called in
1.-THE last time 1 saw Mr.. Palmer" said
DR.. Beatty today, (which was on June 3,
he was on the road to recovery. The dis
ease from which he suffered was not of a
fatal nature. I was told on one of nv
visits that Mr.. Palmer had never had his
life insured because he feared some one
might do away with him. Miss Ella Palmer
told me this. When 1 was at the house
with Coroner Hamburger, Miss Ella Palmer
remarked that she would have put her
father out of his pain long before if she
had had anything to do it with but she
added that she had done nothing of the
