London, June { Re-The London Daily Express today said the wea- ding of Mrs. Mabelle Gilman Corey. former wife of William E. Corey, Pittsburgh steel magnate. and Prince Luis of Orleans had been postponed indefinitely.
 The Infanta Eulalia. mother of the prince. who is cousin of the king of Spain. was quoted as the authority and is assigning as req son for the postponement Mrs. Cor ey's unwillingneas to take up the simple life Prince Luis has found to his liking.
 T bought my son villa at San Reno and he is living there now very happily" the Infanta said. "He has taken to gardening. It is 90 much healthier for him than the night life he used to follow. But now Mrs. Corey says she won't live with him down there and she wants him to come to her chateau.
 He wants her to go to him. I don't know which will give way but hope not my son.
 Money Also Bothers
 There is also the question of the marriage settlement. They do not agree about that either. Mrs. Corey received 100000 (about 5000, ,000) from her former husband. She told him she did not think this such a tremendous sum of money after all. It is only about f700 monthly she said. Mrs. Corey is very charM- ing"
 At this point the Infanta was said to have checked herself suddenly and to have left the sentence and the interview unfinished.
 The engagement of the former stage beauty and the Spanish aristo- crat, who has been exiled from Paris for several years, was an- nounced recently. It was said the marriage was to take place about June 1 at San Reno. It did not eventuate.

Three Arrested Following
Street BrawI Saturday

What was termed a ''free-for-all"
in front of Nally's hall Saturday
night, near where a square dance was
in progress, resulted in the arrest of
three, two on charges Of being drunk
and disorderly, and one on the charge
of being disorderly. The first two
were Mack Tasker and Roy Lish, and
the last named, Everett Bray, Swan
ton.
1t was necessary for B. B. Nethkin,
policeman, to use force in subduing
Tasker. They were given prelimi-
nary hearing before W, A. Gender,
Saturday night when Lish and Bray
furnished bond for their appearance.
Tasker and Bray were given a
hearing on Monday and both fined
S. and costs. The hearing of Lish
will take place at later date.
The brawl was the outcome of a
slight alteration in the Nally Square
Dance hall, on Alder street, but most
of the fighting ensued on the street.

VALUATION OF YOUGHIO-
CHEVY HYDRO co. FIXED
Assessment of More Than Five
Millions Placed on Holdings

By a recent decision of the State
Tax Commission of Maryland the as
sessment against the Youghiogheny
Hydro Electric Corporation was fixed
for the year just ending at $5,443,282.
This is the company operating the
power plant on Deep Greek and the
Youghiogheny River a few miles from
Oakland.
Until this year the greater part of
the assessment for tax purposes
against this company was imposed
upon the capital stock, but as the
chief value lies in the real estate and
power plant in Garrett county, the
taxing officials felt that this should
be reversed and through hearings
held before the County Commission
ers and the State Tax Commission it
was finally determined to place an as
sessment of $4,859,138 against the
real esate, including land, buildings,
dam, tunnels and power plant and the
balance of 1884, 144 against the stock.
With the exception of the stock as
sessment, which may vary to some
extent, the above assessment will
likely apply to 1880 as well as to the
present year.

thinking about the menu for the table
on the day of days.
Scores of residents are preparing
to erect outdoor Christmas lighting
decorations. Many have entered the
contest being sponsored by the Rotary
Club for the purpose of selecting the
best decorated and lighted homes in
this community Prizes totalling $25
and divided $3.50 for the best home;
$3.50 for the second best and $500 for

holiday decorations placed by mer-
chants and other business men.
The Rotary Club emphasizes the
fact that it does not desire just a few
elaborate lighting exhibits on a few
homes but wants every Oakland resi-
dent to get the spirit of the contest
and enter the competition, even if
only a few lights and few decorations
are used. This is a contest for the
entire citizenship Of Oakland and is

pride in this progressive community
