 NOT KNOWN IN
 NEW YORK CITY?
Romance of Soap and Millions Shattered by Prosaic
 Inquiry.

When a prosperous looking couple applied at the office of the town clerk yesterday afternoon, for a, license to marry, and the groom, a prosperous looking elderly man, gave his name az Seth c. Rabbit, of New York, the word went round that a soap million a1re had run away to get married. The lady in the case was Miss Flor ence Hardy They were married later at the parsonage of Rev. Gerald H. Beard of the Park Street Congrega- tiona1 church.
 But, alas for the romance of soap and million money wedding beauty in a runaway match, inquiry today devel- oped the truth that the New York city directory does not contain the name of Seth c. Babbitt as a well known manufacturer of soap or Of anything else

 his disposal.
 This was but little. The bills that made up the s1O,OO0 ransom were in denominations of s. S10 and $20 This
 by order of the men who received it. A report that Whitla had marked them Is not verified at this time. That amount of currency in small bills. however, would make it's possessors conspicuous unless they scatter it among a number of confederates and thereby increase the risks in another direction.
 It was also learned this morning that before going to Sharon, Billy and his father leave the train at Youngstown to give the boy a chance to identify a man arrested there last night. Early to-day the Cleveland police sent out descriptions of two men be ieved to be the leaders in the affair. One of these hired the livery rig in which Billy was driven from Sharon The other is the man who drove and who the boy de Scr1bed as having a red face and moustache. ''He was not nice looking and I did not like him. said Billy. Both men were swarthy and of short and stock build
 Mrs. Uhle, who keeps the candy store and was apparently the innocent means of communication between Whit,a and the kidnappers described the man who called for the bundle of money as gaves his name as Hayes. The police believe the affair is the work of a gang of several members, perhaps as many as a. dozen. The ouickness with which it's members received news from different parts of Ohio and Pennsyl- vania and the skill with which they eluded their purSuers show that they had plenty of help.
 Not since the wires brought the news of some of the Spanish war victories has Cleveland had such a time of re- joicing as last night. The whole city was awake at midnight. rejoicing with the parents over Bills return
 Pat Grove. the reformed kidnapper of Eddie Cudahy who arrived here only a few hours before Billy Whitla was found said to-day: 'I'Il give the kid nappers a limit of nine months of lib erty. Most likely it will be but a, mat Billy and the paying of the money gives them but a slight chance.''
 Youngstown, O., March 23.-A crowd of more than 1000 persons met Billy Whitla- and his father when they reached Youngstown today on their way home. Youngstown police had hard work to clear a way through the crowd to the street and to the police station where Joe West, a, moving pie ture man, was held on suspicion.
 A crowd remained outside cheering while the boy looked at the suspected man among a dozen other men and failed to identify him. In response to a call from outside a, window was raised and the boy was lifted up in his fathers arms so that the crowd might gee him.
 Later a passage way was cleared by the police. The father and boy and a detective started for the station to take a, train for home Hundreds fol- lowed the carriage to the station. The depot was filled with women waving their handkerchiefS.

An immense snow hank. 60 feet deep lying on the slope of Mount FL Hot. a 13.000 foot peak :a southwest ern Colorado. has melted within the past forty-eight hours and an immense column of steam is rising from the spot. The cloud of steam is visible for miles. It is believed by those familiar with the mountain that the phenomenon is caused by volcanic dis turbances. A mine located near the basin and worked years ago was abandoned because of the intense beat encountered at the lower levels. The deep snow on the mountainside prevents close investigation.
