Nurse Saves Baby of Roose.
velt'S Prettiest Girl in the
South.

NEW YORK. Sept SO.-Mrs. Leonard
A. Day the beautiful young wife of the
chief of the bureau of fire alarm tele-
graph. in this city, and formerly of At
lanta. was severely burned by a fire in
her home at Mohegan Park. Yonkers,
last week. Through the heroism of a
nurse, her two ear-old son, Leonard,
Jr., was saved from injury.
Mrs. Day was sitting in the library of
her home, reading For some unknown
reason, the kerosene lamp at her head
suddenly exploded, scattering the blazing
oil in all directions. Miraculously none
of it struck her, but in a few seconds
the room was ablaze. Mrs Days screams
awakened the nurse, who was asleep with
the baby on the floor above.
Hurriedly throwing some bed clothes
around the child, the nurse, herself clad
only in a night gown, sped through the
blazing room safely into the street
Mrs. Day attacked the flames alone
Suddenly her fimsy dress became ig-
nited, and. blazing, she ran toward the
street On the way out she encoun-
tered Doland Cutler, a neighbor Mr.
Cutler grabbed a blanket and, throwing
it around her smothered the flames, but
not until she had been painfully burned
She was removed to the home of physi-
clan.
Other neighbors in the meantime ar
rived and formed a bucket brigade. Their
valiant work soon extingushed the
flames, but not until the library had been
wrecked.
Mrs Day before her marriage was Miss
Adelaide Allen. acknowledged to have
been the prettiest young woman of At
lanta. Colonel Roosevelt at reception
given to him several years ago at At
lanta complimented the unusually pretty
blonde by saying that she was the most
beautiful woman he had ever met in
the South.
The physician attending Mrs Day said
that he believed that the burns would
not mar her beauty.

RICH SOLDIER Of
FORTUNE SLAIN
Broker Had Been Pauper, Mil
Iionaire, Tramp, Revolution
iSt and Hubby of Duchess.

GAINESVILLE, WIS, Sept. 30.-From
prince to pauper, from tramp riding in
box car to millionaire in his own parlor
car; from wheat Spectator to South
American revolutionist; from marine m
the United States navy to husband OF a
real duchess, is a brief history of Ed
ward l.. Dwyer, recently a New York
broker, who was found dead early this
morning with a revolver clasped in his
hand and a bullet through his head.
The police believe he committed suicide.
His friends declare that he was murdered,
and the fact remains that the man who
had one of the most meteoric careers in
the history of the country was drinking
with tramp shortly after he arrived in
GAINESVILLE, Notwithstanding he Is still
rated a millionaire.
Dryers body was found in the rear
OF a building near a depot. Twelve
cents, a cheap watch a key to a hotel
room in Chicago and an empty pocket
book were found in his pockets. His
friends in this vicinity say that he al
ways carried papers of considerable i'm
portance and a large roll of money.
The absence of these latter items leads
his friends to believe that he was muir
dered and robbed by the tramp with whom
he was seen drinking after he left the
the tramp is not known.
Attempted Wheat Corner.
Born in Connecticut about fifty-two
years ago, Dwyer was educated by
James Vannetta, formerly a resident OF
GAINESVILLE, and at the age of twenty five
went to Mexico, where he developed 20 900
acres of farm land and built railroad.
These ventures netted him about 81 GOO 900
and he then went to Chicago and began
his career on the board of trade of that
city. In 1886 he caused tremendous fur
ry by trying to corner wheat. He bought
!, 900 900 bushels, was caught, and lost
everything.
Seeing prospects in Venezuela, provided
he could overthrow the existing gov
eminent he borrowed money and or
ganlzed an expedition to start a revo-
luton The United States and Venezuela
governments learned of his plans when
the expedition was on its way His arms
and ammunition were seized just as he
was about to land and he had to fee
for mis- life Going first to Brazil, he
later went to Peru, where he engaged in
mining and again made a fortune.
Weds Millionaire Duchess
Once more returning to the United
States he started to promote a number of
gigantic mining and colonization schemes,
and ran short of money. While in Flor
ida in 1893 he met the elderly Duchess
DeCastellucia-an American woman who
had married an italian duke. The duke
died, and his widow, with about 81 ,000, 600
in her own right, was wintering in Flor
ida. Dwyer married her She settled
schemes She was 7S and he was 80
years old Nine months later she died,
and bequeathed Dwyer SO. Dwyer tried
| to break her will but failed.
