El Paso, Texas, April 26.-Miss
Jennie Thiele, of New York, who
came here with her mother this week
to marry John Van de Moer, who had
claimed to be of the Holland nobility,
has returned to New York unmarried.

At any rate, Miss Thiele, accompan-
led by her mother, Mrs. Henrietta
Thiele, left for New York yesterday
afternoon unmarried. and Van de
Moer took the Mexican Central train
this morning for Chihuahua.
There are presumably other reasons
still concealed for the change in the

became enamored of one another
while in Denver three years ago for
a period of one month, than those
which have been disclosed
After enduring the long and tedious

call of Clerk Cleaves, of the Maine
Central railroad, the stockholders met
today and ratified the agreement

II must look to the state for busi-
ness. The step was taken To facilitate
the entrance of the Canadian Pacific
railroad into the state, instead Of
blocking that purpose, as some have
charged. II can build, If il chooses

and its branches a line to Megantic

DREDGING STEWART
RIVER FOR GOLD

Dawson City, Yukon Territory,
April 26.-The gold production of the
Yukon district is likely to be enorm-
ously increased by dredging opera
tions soon to be begun along the
stewart river. The Yukon Alaska
Gold Dredging company, controlling
leaseholds of some s 5000 acres of rich
placer grounds on the Stewart and
neighboring rivers. is preparing for
the installation of a fleet of powerful
dredges and for the opening up of
extensive tracts of new country. The
value of these properties is likely to
be materially enhanced by the con-
struction of the proposed Alaskan
Siberian railroad, which is to pass
through Dawson, the Klondike capt
tai With its known gold areas made
accessible. this territory is likely to
experience a mining boom of greater
magnitude than any in the past.

BRISK BIDDING FOR SUB
WAYS IN NEW YORK

New York. April 26-It is said at
the office of the rapid transit COM
mission that not only would there be
plenty of competition for the subway
loop connections for the terminals OF
the three Manhattan bridges, but for
the new subway routes, bids for
which are to be received today. In
dications are that there will be at
least five or six bids for the construc-
ton work of the subways alone.
These may be awarded separately
from the operating contracts If the
authorities are so inclined. on the
other hand, both contracts may be
awarded to the same bidder. In any
event there is no fear that the new
subways will not DE operated IL built
and the prospects of better transit
facilities are, in the estimation of the
officials concerned, growing brighter
every day.

CROWD ON FIRST DAY
too RIG To HANDI.E

The great crowd which sought the
exposition grounds today was ham
pered by transportation facilities. The
trolley roads from Norfolk to Sc
wells Point, the site of the exposi-
tion, were congested early and the
docking facilities for the scores of ex-
cursion steamers were also insufti-
cient. Many boats laden with pas
sengers were held up off the short
for hours.
While the president was speaking
the widest confusion prevailed di-
rectly in front of the grand stand,
caused by the pushing and surging
of the great crowd. There was dan
ger that women and children might
be crushed, and guards had to force
their way into the throng to stop the
pushing. Even then the program
was interrupted many times. Finally
troops in close order formed a guard
between the lines and the grand
stand.
