Yelled Woman Presents Child t,
Groom Mt Altar.

A most sensational event took
place at a wedding at Fall River,
Mass, Tuesday. The marriage Of
Charles J. Regan, banker, and Miss
Mary B. Chadwick was the social
event OF the season. The church
was filled with friends. After tho
ceremony the. bride and members Of
the wedding party started down the
aisle as the wedding march was
played.
A closely yelled woman. clad In
black, rose, picked up four-year-
old boy and held out to Mr.. Regan.
"Stop, Charles Regan!" she cried.
Miss-Miss Sullivan!" gasped Rea-
gan.
Eyes, it's l." answered the woman.
Here he is; here Is your child:
I've taken care of him for four years.
Now you must take hlm--you or
youc wife"
The woman turned and walked
out. The bride tainted and friends
were horror-stricken. Regan stood
alone in the church aisle, holding
in his arms the baby, who was crying
for his mother.
When the bride revived she re-
turned to her home alone. Mr. Rea-
gan left town, refusing to make
known his destination. He took thy,
child with him.

A dispatch from Union to The

yer, 26 years OF, age, and q deaf

O'Clock and did not return for dinner.
a party Of friends went in search of
him, finding his dead hoay, as stated
above. While there was no eye wit
nesses as to the manner ef his death.

that it was a case Of suicide.
His parents, who reside in Spartan
burg, went to Union Sunday night
and Monday morning took the re-
mains back to that city, where the
interment took place Tuesday. His
mother stated that the dead man had
never entirely recovered from an at

at Hampton park the presence Of fire
in her main hold. but the blaze has
been brought under control by tn,
combined efforts OF her crew ami
the crew of the steamship Philadel-
phia which has the Luckenbeck in
tow.
The message Of the FIRE in the hold
of the steamer was caught by the
hampton park wireless station about
IL o'clock Monday night, having been
sent by Captain Crockett, of the
Philadelphia, when the steamship
and her convoy were of Charleston
about 7ee>miles>ands5S0 Q. .miles.south
of Sandy Hook.
At the time that the wireless mes
sage was sent to the Charleston
wireless. plant, the steamers were
making about nine and a half knots
an hour. The Hampton park station
remained in touch with the plant OF
the Philadelphia for several hours
Monday night.
The steamship Luckenbeck is one
of feet Of FIVE ships belonging to
the Insular Steamship Company. one
of the competing lines of the Morse
syndicate Of steamships, running to
Taorto Rico and South American
ports. The Luckenbeck family O:

troll the vessels. The Luckenbeck Is
one of the best boats of the line, hav-
ing tonnage of about 5000.
Bound from the South American
ports with coffee and other staple
products of that country, and re-
turning with general cargoes Of mer-
chandise, the line does good bus

1t is of course not known what
will be the damage by the fire on the
Luckenback. The survey will prob
ably. be held. upon. the arrival of the
vessel at San Juan, and then esti--
mates will be prepared OF the amount
