country that prompt acceptance OF Aus
tria's demands is necessary.
A relief steamer Is being sent to Sou
tari by Austria. The Vienna government
is insistent that the demands for the
removal of all noncombatants from the
besieged city shall be granted.
At the same time the note from the
great powers giving a basis for media
ton in the Balkans is being circulated
among the governments composing the
Balkan states, and every effort Is being
made to bring the war to a close.
King Nicholas OF Montenegro, COM
manding the siege army in front OF Scu-
tari, has sent word to his capital that
the fall of the fortress is imminent. He
commands an allied force of 5000 men.
and the daily bombardment of the for
tress is becoming more effective. A large
portion OF the town and some Of the
fortress has been destroyed. while flames
have swept through many of the ruins.
Constant reports Of a shortage Of the
food supply are emanating from the be-
leaguered city.

mrs. FITzHUGH" NOT
Wife Of CARPENTER
George H. Dousherg Takes Long Time
to Make Up His Mind About
Woman In Tombs.
PRISONER LAUGHS AT HIM

New York. March "a humorous
touch was given to the case of the
mysterious Mrs. Randolph Fitzhugh"
today when George H. Dougherty. a ship
carpenter, who frantically declared he
was the woman's husband. accompanied
a reporter to the Tombs prison. but
Jailed to identify her.
The handsome young woman. when
she saw the claimant to her hearts af-
fections. burst into a peal of laughter
and remarked:
In your widest imagination could you
conceive of my being married to that?'
This did not satisfy Dougherty. who
said that he could not be sure the wom-
an was not his wife, as her countenance
changed materially when she laughed
1t was with some difficulty that the
woman controlled her face in order that
he might completely satisfy himself that
he had never seen her before. He stared
a long time, and even tried to approach
and touch her, but che shrank behind
the reporter and the guard and asked
to be taken back to her cell.
The man had told the police that the
published pictures of the woman who
is being held for the grand jury on a
charge of stealing purses in church,
bore a close resemblance to his missing
wife. He said he had been married on

his wife moved to Brooklyn. where they
lived together until December 81, 1872
when the woman left him and took with
her daughter named Margery. nine
years old, child by a previous marri-
age.
He had often heard of Alfred S.
Northrup. the Washington lawyer. whom
the woman claims is her husband. he de-
clared. He said that her first husband
was Charles Albert Peporten. president
OF the Northwest Machine Oil Works,
and that sire deserted him eighteen
years ago, leaving behind her a three
year-old child. She then lived with
Frederick Philips. he said. a wealthy
real estate operator in Staten Island.
whom she left TO marry Dougherty.
When she left him, he continued. she
went away with a man named Walter
II. Church, alias Smith, a trolley car
conductor.
Dougherty finally admitted that he was
mistaken in his Identification and quietly
left the Tombs.
