A. ROMANTIC WEDDING.
Suecessful Termination of a Courtship
Commenced by Letter.
Wilmington, Del., Aug. 31. The
etory of one of the most romantie mar
riages that has ever occurred in this city
leaked tmt this evening. Mrs. Lena
Bennett, of Hillsdale, Mich., aged fifty,
and twice a widow, about two weeks ago
inserted an advertisement in a western
paper for a suitor. .
A paper containing the notice reached
Charles C. Cleaworth, a machinist of
this city, and be immediately answered
it. A reply soon came to him request
ing a photograph of himself. This was
sent, ' and while he was at work, Mrs.
Bennett reached this city and went to
the mill where Cleaworth was empioyed.
He was called from bis lathe, and walk
ing outside, he was face to faoe with the
woman whose photograph he had re
ceived. They greeted each other, and
Mrs. Bennett asked Cleaworth to accom
pany her to the nearest preacher to have
the nuptial knot tied. This was post
poned until yesterday, however, when
the couple went to Camden and were
married. Mrs. Cleaworth is a beautiful
woman and says she has $1,000,000 in
her own name. The bride and eroom
left for their western home this evening.
GRAIN OF THE WORLD.
Important Opinion as to Surplus and
Deficit of Grain.
Vienna, Aug. 31. Toe Hungarian
government has issued an estimate of
the world's grain harvest, based upon
consular reports from all parts' of the
world. The yield of wheat is estimated
at from 725,000,000 to 736,000,000 hecto
liters, and rye from 350,000,000 to 360,-
000,000 hectoliters, being from 44,000,
000 to 50,000,000 hectoliters below the
average for wheat, and from 90,000,000
to 100,000,000 hectoliters' below the aver
age for rye.
Austria requires to import from 10.-
000,000 to 12,000,000 hectoliters of wheat
and 6,000,000 hectoliters of rye, and
trance 3U,UUU,lH)0 Hectoliters of wheat.
Hungary has a surplus of 1 2,000 ,000
to 13,000,000 hectoliters of wheat, but of
rye there is a large deficiency. In Rus
sia the wheat surplus amounts to 16,-
000,000 hectoliters, and of ryethere is a
deficit ofJrom 40,000,000 to 45,000,000
hectoliters.
RICH AND POOR.
Acquired and Spent Two Fortunes and
now Inherits a Third.
New .York, Aug. 31. Constantine
Ashargen, a young man who has been a
millionaire twice, and is now clerking
for $10 per week, is in luck again. A
number of years ago he inherited $1,000,
000 upon the death of his father, a
wealthy manufacturer of Athens, and
proceeded to cut a large swath. By the
time-he was 25 years of age he was .pen
niless. Shortly after, bis mother died,
leaving him 'another million. By dil
igent application, he managed.to squan
der this in eight years, when he came to
this country, landing at San Francisco,
and beating his way to New York, where
he has since resitted. Now an uncle in
Alexandria has died and left him a third
fortune. Constantine says he will tske
care of this one.

The Inquest Commenced.
. New York, Sept. 1. The inquest into
the cause of the death of those who per
ished in the Park Place disaster com
menced today. The testimony of wit
nesses so far examined, confirm the
theory that there was no explosion, that
the building collapsed from the great
weight of the presses and other machin
ery on the various floors.

A CALENDAR OF CRIME.
An East Bound Train Held Up Near
Canon City, Col., By Seven .
Masked Men.
They Compelled the Messenger to Open
the Safe and Helped Themselves
to Its Contents. '
Judge Lynch Plays a Prominent Part
in the Capture "of a Missouri
Bank Robber.
Canon .City, Colo., Sept. 1. Seven
men held up the east-bound train last
night near Cotopaxi. The fireman was
relieved of a fine gold watch and then
forced to pick the lock and break in the
door of the baggage car under the fire
from the express messenger. Express
Mesaenger Angel, made a determined
resistance- and used his revolver to good
advantage, but whether any one was
killed is not definitely known. The
fight was a fierce one though it lasted
only a few moments. The masked men
then, under threat of killing him com
pelled the messenger to open the safe
from which the robbers took $3000.
Horses were in readiness, and as soon
as the robbery was accomplished, the
desperadoes fled to Wet Mountain val
ley. They did not disturb the passen
gers. . A posse was summoned and are
now in pursuit.
Judge Lynch took a Hand.
Kansas City, Sept. 1. One of the
desperadoes who robbed the Cordor,
Mo., bank yesterday afternoon was cap
tured late last night, and while being
taken to Lexington a mob of enraged
citizens took the prisoner from the offi
cers and lynched him. The robber gave
his name as Andiew Murrell. About
half the stolen money was found in his
possession. The other robber is being
closely pursued.
SHOT IN THE BACK.

son, III., car work 8, was walking along
the approach to the Merchants' Bridge

car works, shot and painfully "wounded
him in the back. The would-be mur
derer then put a bullet in his own head,
expiring soon afterwards. Colbott was
discharged a short time ago and that is
supposed to be the cause of the at
tempted murder.

ians got into a fight in u notorious den
run by Willia.u Geist, on Walnut street,

Minister Eagan Not Heard From.
Washington, Sept. 1. Not a word of
news has been received regarding the
state of affairs in Chili at the state de
partment from Minister Eagan. Offic
ials of the department are at a loss to
explain this reticence on the part of the
minister except upon the theory that
telegraphic communication between
Valparaiso, the cable terminus, and San
tiago the capitol, where Minister Eagan
resides, is not yet fully restored.

New York, Sept. 1. An Atlantic
City special says : A failure is an

THEY DON'T I.1H.E THE LAW.
The Prohibition Movement Obnoxious
to German Citizens.
Berlin, Aug. 31. The liquor dealers
of the' capital are combining in opposi
tion to the proposed law restricting the,
sale of liquor, and especially the clause
requiring them to sell food when they
sell liquor. This would compel all of
them to go into the restaurant business,
which is already overdone in Berlin, as
the Germans here refuse to eat at home.
The clauses as to age and selling to
drunkards are also rpnsidered obnoxious
on tiie ground hat the dealer cannot
readily telL the age of a customer, or
whether lie is a drunkard or uot. The
whole measure is considered in the line
of teetotalism. and as imposing restric
tions obnoxious to the German ideas of
personal liberty. The advocates of the
bill t hum that drunkenness is iucreasing
in Berlin ; that Increasing instances of
indulgence in. intoxicants have been ob
served, and that some restrictive action
is necessary to abate and restrain the
evil.
TWO LARGE FIRES.
Hotel lu Rhode Island and Oil Works
: in Cleveland.
Narraoansett Pier, R. I., Aug. 31.
At 2 o'clock this morning the night
watchman in the Rockingham bouse
discovered that the hotel was on fire.
The 150 guests in the house were all
gotten out safely. Eleven of them will
lose heavily, as trunks thrown from the
windows split on'fhe walks,' and u hard
rain falling wet the contents. The fire
began from an open furnai,t, and spread,
to the roof by the; elevator. ;The local
fire company did good work: and saved
the building with a less of f 20.000 only,
which' was fully covered by insurance. ,
The guests must have lost as much more.

FALLEN FROM" GRACE, .
A Preacher Becomes Addicted to Mor
phine and Turns Criminal.
Memphis, Tenn., Aug. . 31. The Rev, -S.
C Stone, and ex-preacher, who has
had charges in a half-dozen places in
Tennessee, Mississippi and Arkansas,
and who was at one time presiding elder
in the Greenville district of Mississippi,
has been arrested on a. charge of arson. '
Mr. Stone came to-Memphis six months'
ago and started ai storage warehouse .
which was destroyed by tire a month
ago. He again started in business on
Jefferson street and a fire was discovered
in this place last night, which the de
partment suppressed with, trifing dam
age. Stone was seen leaving' the storage
house a few minutes before his place of
business was destroyed. This arroused
suspicion which led" to his arrest. He
makes no denial of the charge and says
he is a victim of the morphine habit and
6tarted both fires while uiVtler its influ
ence. Martin Anthony, a negro em
ployed by Stone, was also, arrested. He
says Sione has asked him several times
to fire the place but he, refused.
"No Gold, Nn Silver." .
Last week there appeared in the pages 4
of our contemporary the 'Sun a column
article describing. a rich gold -'discovery
on Salmon river, ten or fifteen miles
south-west of Mount Hood. The Chron
icle was aware of the alleged discovery
from the first but refused to write it up
till there was assurance that it was a
real find. It is said that fully 80 to 100
persons from Eight Mile and Dufur left
everything and rushed to Salmon river
only to find, as they assuredly did, that .
if there is any gold in that section it has
yet to be discovered. A gentleman in
this city, who did' not visit the alleged
mines procured some of the rock and
sent it to assayer J. H. Fish of Portland
and we are permitted to copy the result
which reads as follows : '-
"No Gold, No Silver. This sample
possesses no value. Respectfully,
