Gould, s~Ths Steamer came into the harbor at o'clock this morning and the Prince was one of the first to go on board. He rushed to Mime. Goulds cabin, met her at the door, lifted his hat and kissed her hand.
 The Prince refused to be interviewed or make any statement. The tutor of Mime. Gould's children, however. in a brief interview said: Rest assured that the marriage will occur but mo- body can say when or where. My conviction rests on what I have seen and heard from Mime. Gould. am sure 1t, is a true love match"
 Mime. Gould was smiling and appar- ently contented. After the Prince had kissed. her hand she took him to the
 ,versed for half an hour. Mma.
 uld then took the Prince to her C. bin where he met the children. He ktssed them repeatedly.

 Many miraculous escapes are report ed and almost every one has a story of personal danger to tell. Little Eric McCord became frightened and crawled under the house and could not be per- suaded to come out. When the house fell 1t crushed him to death.
 Last night horse was discovered in a well and could not be extricated. Dead cows, calves and pigs are numer- ous and many lay all night with broken legs or other hurts rendering them helpless.
 The full extent of the calamity will not be revealed until daylight comes, and then order and system will take the place of the confusion which now prevails.
 The streets are controlled by a de- pany aided by members of the Albert vile company. This is regarded as a useless precaution as not a single act of vandalism has been reported.
 The single telegraph key here is in- adequate to the demands made upon it, but the operators are doing every. thing in their power to rush rnessageB and answer the anxious questions that are coming in from every quarter con- corning the welfare of friends and rel atives.

MCINTYRE & GO. G0TOTHEWALL Important Brokerage
 Firm Suspends. HEAVY DEALERS IN COTTON Business Impaired by New South
 ern Laws. Members of New Orleans, New York and Chicago Exchanges-The
 Liabilities are Less Than 2, s1,0oo,ooo.

,,ar New York. April 24.--The suspension ,aof T. Mcintyre & Co.,, brokers and Rfembers of the New York Exchange. $pd of the New York Cotton Produce SYchange, was announced on the Stock Exchange today.
 SThe firm did large business and had , bFanches in Chicago. Baltimore, Boston, Hartford. Binghamton. Syracuse, Rochester and Hot Springs, Virginia. Fhe members of the firm are Thomas A. Mcintyre, George c. Ryan. John G. Mcintyre. Thomas A. Mcintyre, Jr., J. E. Hulshizer. James M. Hudson and Ed ward T. White.
 The suspension was without effect upon the stock market. It was stated that while the firm has engaged in heavy transactions inA the past, it's present commitments are not large. It had taken position on the bear side ofefhe market and the recent advance inIprices was the cause of the suspen- sier.
 Arthur R. Peck of Syracuse was : named as assigne of the firms busi- ness.
 T. A. Mcintyre & co were members of the Chicago Board of Trade, the New Orleans Cotton Exchange and the " Liverpool Cotton Association, and was one of the largest brokerage commis- sioh1 houses in th.s city.
 Walter H. Moier. office manager for the firm, said today that while he had not yet ascertafned the extent of the failure. he believed the firms liabilities would be less than s1,000,000. The directocause of the suspension, he said, was an impairment of the firms capi- tai which followed the financial panic of last fall. Since that time the firm has been carrying the accounts of q number of its customers, who were unab1e- to meet the obligations they had sineurred during the panic. He stated that the firm had few trades in cotton in the past three months. and its skanding accounts at the close of business were only 5000 bales, and were Amply protected by margin. M.5,rrMoler said the firm has suffered S-e Ny from the effects of the anti C. aH:laws of the Southern States. Be- il. these laws went into effect the drmsE-Fnonthly trading in cotton op- .tiops Aggregated about soO,0O0 bales, he said but recently the monthly busi- .h5Sd not exceeded 50,000 bales. 'Hnvoluntary petition in bank was filed against T. A. McIn- { CO, in the Federal Court to- sssna' result of which c. c. Burl- was appointed a receiver for , 10 Ii i.

SUBMARINE INVESTIGATION.
Mir. LiIley Again Appears Before spe-
 cial Committee.

Washington. April 24.-The special House committee Investigating the Electric Boat Company. devoted it's session today to endeavoring to as. certain from Representa- George l.. Lilley the grounds on which he based his charge against the company. Mir Lilley admitted that some of those charges were made on rumors and others on what he had been told.
 Asked if he had tried to find out the facts he said:
 "I did not constitute myself an i'm vestigating committee to go around and find out what the facts were. I i'm troduced my resolution in order that these facts might be brought out. "
 Mir. Stevens took up each specific charge and insisted that Mir. LiIley tell everything he knew concerning 1t. While he did not withdraw any charge against the company. he would not say that anyone had been corrupted by the methods used by the company This assertion led Mir Broussard to ask the following question:
 "You charge this company with us- ing reprehensible methods to influence Congress. the Navy Department and the press of the country. You want them investigated and yet you say you will not make the charge that Con- gross, the Navy Department or the press has resorted to these methods. Will you please point out where the harm has been done-who have been cor rupted?"
 q made the charge" responded MT. Lilley, that the company used these corruptinE methods. but have not mentioned any specific person who has been corrupted. My resolution was for the purpose of finding this out"
