Who Married Arthur M Werner, an
Ex-POliceman, Who Saved Her
Life.

Drawing room, library and the cele-
brated armory, 100-foot wing of the
house, which contains the greatest pri-
vate collection of arms and armor m
this country, were turned upside down.
Figures were overturned, rugs trampled
and torn and the celebrated Gobelin
tapestries ripped and mutilated. Wer-
ner remained downstairs while his wifs
ran upstairs to find what damage had
been done there.
Destroyed Costly Gowns.
In her apartment the ruin was more
complete than on the first floor. All of
her most treasured possessions had
been scattered about; her closets,
which contained her magnificent gowns
and hats, had been forced open.
Their finery had been ripped from
hooks and torn down, chests and boxes
slashed or torn into ribbons. Every
thing that could be counted really

the former Miss Morosini was de-

director in railway companies and
banks. He had four children.

that Victoria's money was gone-she

they had separated, would he consent
to make provision for her. Victoria

Surprise.

New York, Jan. 25.-Cab and taxi
cab owners have sprung a surprise on
New York city by making a formal
and earnest request of the board of
