ANOTHER ROMANCE OF THE STAGE.
Another romance of the stage has come to light
through the marriage of Mrs Robert de la Poer
Beresford to young Sir Charles Huntington, who
only attained his majority few weeks ago. The
new Lady Huntington is daughter Of Daniel
O'Suivan, of the Grange, Killarney, rejoces in the
Christian name of Della and before marrying Lord
Decies's brother. the Hon Robert de Ia Poer Beres
ford in 1899. achieved some note on the stage The
Hon. Robert, who had acted as a special newspaper
correspondent during the war in South Africa, had
no money which to support wife, gazetted, in
deed, as a bankrupt. with the result that the fair
Della was forced to return to the stage, making a
hit in THE Girl from Kay's" Last fall she di-
vorced him, after some rather sensational scenes
at the Norfolk Hotel, at Brighton and within a
fortnight of the decree being made final secured
the hand and the title of young Sir Charles Hunt
ington. who is reading for the bar, and is very well
Off having a country seat in Lancashire, known as
Ashley Bank, while in London his residence is the
Clock House, on the Chelsea Embankment
The baronetcy was created about three years
ago in favor of Sir Charles's father, who was at
the head of a great wall paper syndicate and was
very liberal contributor TO the Conservative party
funds
Another of Lord Deciess brothers, the Hon.
Henry Beresford. formerly a captain of the 18th
Hussars has likewise married one Of The Girls
from Kay's" who as Kitty Gordon was great
favorite with the theatregOers while the youngest
brother the Hon. William Decies. is married to
an American girl. Miss Florence Miller, daughter
of c. /. Miller. Providence, and now makes his
home with her his ranch at Calgary, Canada.
As Lord Decies is without male issue, and none or
his brothers have any children, the American born
Mrs. William Beresford. out on the Bowness
ranch, Alberta, has a very fair chance of be
coming peeress of the realm, through the success
sion of husband to the Irish barony of Decies,
which created at the beginning of the nine
teenth century, in favor of the first Marquis of
waterford's younger brother. who was Archbishop
of Tuam MARQUISE DE FONTENOY.

Charles Dilson,, in Brown county,
wrecked recently by a cyclone, the
wreckers discovered Dilson, his wife
and twelve-year-old daughter more
dead than alive. For two weeks they
had been prisoners in the cellar,
with but little to eat and nothing to
drink for two days. They ate raw
potatoes for six days. The neighbors

moved away after the storm. The
prisoners tried to bore tunnel, but

Washington, June 49, Without a
single speech, the senate today began
voting on the lumber schedule as
soon as a quorum was procured,
Whether this was due to tie hot
weather, to the exhaustion of the ora
tors or to other causes, the change
was accepted as a good omen by those
anxious to crowd the tariff bill to fin
al action and have the special session
come to an end.
The first vote was on an amend
ment by Senator McCumber of North
Dakota, proposing rate of dollar
per thousand board feet on sawed
lumber, instead of the rate decided
upon by the finance committee of
$3.50 per thousand The finance com
mittees rate was sustained by vote
of Al to "a.
From the beginning there has been
a decided contest over the lumber
rate. as the northwestern members
are fighting for free lumber. In the
house the reformers succeeded in cut
ting the Dingley rate from two dol
lars to one. They continued the fight
in the senate. but finding themselves
unable to get free lumber. were will

Big Pennsylvania Collier Blows Up

No. 4 of the Lackawanna Coal and
Coke company here at o'clock this
morning, three miners are known to
be dead, six fatally injured, and
twenty-five seriously injured, while it
is feared sixty-five men still in
the mine may be burned to death.
The mine is burning fiercely in sew
eral places and deadly black damp
is pouring from the main shaft, pre-
venting relief work. What caused the
explosion IS not known, but it was
probably due to an accumulation of
gas. The scenes about the mine this
afternoon are very affecting. Fam
lilies and friends of the victims are
weeping and greatly retarding the
work of rescue.
Came Without Warning
The mine blew up within few
minutes after the cage had descen-
ded the main shaft, carrying the last
of one hundred and fifty men, who
compose the working force. There
was a vivid flash. followed by q
terrific explosion, which completely
wrecked the underground workings.
Those killed outright were horribly
mangled, while the injured were
hurled with terrific force out of the
mouth of the shaft.
Several Bodies Recovered
Up to noon three bodies had been
recovered, while a score of injured
had been taken out, although the
work of rescue is greatly retarded
by fire damp and smoke which is
pouring out of the shaft. Calls for
help can De heard issuing from the
mine and the women and children
of the hamlet are adding to the din
by their agonizing appeals to save
their loved ones

FROM LOOKING ON

New York, June 2S.-The details of
how Miss Elsie Sigel, the mission
worker, met death, became known to-
day when the story of the third de-
gree" examination of Chung Sin. 'ar-
rested few days ago as an accom-
plice in the murder, was made pub
lie. Sin was examined for thirty
hours, not being allowed to sleep dur
ing that time. and finally, exhausted
by the long and tortuous examination,
he told what he knew of the crime.
Saw Girl straneIed
Sin said he was occupying the room
adjoining that of Leon Ling, alias Will
liam Leon, when he heard scuffiing in
Ling's room. He peeped through the
key hole and saw the girl struggling
with Ling. Then to get better view
of what was transpiring, he climbed
on chair and looked over the tran
som. He saw Ling stuff haudker-
chief in Miss Sigel's mouth and then
tie cord around her neck, drawing.
it taut by means of a slip knot. Ling
then went to closet and drew out
a large trunk, into which he stuffed
the body of his victim.
Only Locked On
Sin stoutly denied that he had any
thing to do with the crime, aside from
being a willing eyewitness to the
horrible tragedy which has shocked
all New York. He said after Ling
had disposed of the girls body, he
called him into his room and they
talked over the murder Then both
left, but he did not know where Ling
went. He said when he returned to
MS room later, Miss Sigel's body was
gone and he saw her no more.
No Trace of Ling
Although this is the fourteenth day
since the murder, the police are with
out tangible clew as to the where
