Frank took out a license Tuesday and made all proparations for the ceremony, which was expected to take place at 6 o'clock that evening at the residenco ot Rev. B. P. McMenomy, on Firth avenue, but when the time came the bride was missing, her father having taken her to South Omaha, The groomsman, John Moran, and the bridesmaid, Miss Carrington of South Omaha, wero sorely disappointed, and the prospective groom was fairly frantic. He procured a gun and tore around town looking for the man who had come between him and his intended. Yesterday was spent in negotiations and last evening a settlement was reached. It was reported during the evening that John Dunn, the father of the girl, had shot Peterson and Mike Kildare, but investigation proved it unfounded, as a truce has been declared, and the wedding will come off today as ubove stated.

Dropped Dead of Heart Disease— True Love and Its Termination— The Guards Prepare for a Summer Jaunt, Political Bubbles Judge Aylesworth is probably mentioned as candidate for more offices than any other man in the city. If all account: 0 to be [ believed, the offices of mayor, polico and superior judge, district judge and city attor- ney are all yawning to receive him; yot he moves quietly about and transacts his every- day business affairs as unconcernedly as he did before he was brought into such unusual prominence. When informed last evening of the situation and asked regarding his persoual preference in the matter, he stated that he had made no wove whatever, and was not posing as a candidate for any office. d be: “Lam not even in the hands of my riends, a8 oue of the aspirants for my pres= ent position declares himself to be, 1 want a little something to say about it mysel(.” “Which is the best of the four offices named " “Ivscems to me that the city atternoy's oftice should pay more than any one of the others. It is a very responsivle position and it is one that the city ought to consider in its proper light. At present, I think that the ty 18 paying for all the advice they take ad- vantage of fron that sonrce. Mr. Holmes is placed in w peculiar position, and could keep thie city out of a great many dificulites if it not for the arcso many members of the city cou: who fancy that they are pretty good lawyers themselves, and do not thing it necessa seclk legal advice, It they consulted the city attornoy oftoner they would make fewer mistakes.” ‘'Is thero any truth in the report that the couneil will increase the salary of the city attorney (" “I have heard that report, clined to believe that there it. Lunderstand that the salary from $1,800 to $2,000.” “But you have not stated your profer- ence,” “‘No, for I am not making any choice. 1 am not out as a candidate, and [ don't care to figure us an aspirant.” Another candidate for official honors is Dr. D. Macrae, who is mentioned in connec- tion with the mayoralty, He has many warm supporters and they are booming his candicacy in the most vigorous mauner. “Itell you he is a winner,” said one of them enthusinstically yesterday afternoon, ‘and he would make a ratthng good mayor. He has lived in the city many years, and is known in his professionall over the country. There isn’t a citizen who is better known through lowa and Nebraska, and he would represent tho city most creditably, I kuow that some folks claim that he would be what we call bull-headed, but, that is just what 18 needed, There is hardly a man in the city, certainly not a leavy property owner, who will nat say that 1t would have been a blessing if wo bad only had a bull-headed mayor for the first two years,” Another candidate for the office of chief executive of the city is S. B. Wadsworth, who is at present one of the park commis- gionel He has many advocates ind the indications are thav he will o 1nto the con- vention with a strong following. It is urged against him that he nas not resided in the city very long, and is not as well known as some of the other candidates, but he is not wanting in strength on this account. 1t18 understood that Alderman P. Lacy. president of the council, is another one wno is seated on the garden paling, looking over the situation, and 1t is predicted by some that he may Eosnihly Robble up the prize. As to his chances a politician remarked yesterday: *‘He is tooheavily handicapped. He has made a_good aldermau, but that is not enough to elect him mayor. He could get votes for the first office that he could not get for the second. ‘The best men of his own party would not consent to having him rep- resent the city as mayor, and he will know better than to enter the race. He may hold offasadark horse, but he never could be elected even if he secured the nomination,” Martin Keatiug's boom for the mayoralty has again arrived and is assumng very re- spectable proportions. He has quite @ fol- lowing of staunch friends who are warmly supporting him and express the most san- Ruine expectations as to his success in cap- turing the nomination, in which case his election is regarded as aforegone conclusion, Keating was popular as an alderman, and 1t is argued tnat his conservative ideas would be of untold benefit to the city. Why," said one of his admirers yesterduy, “all you ueed to do 18 0o look up Ms record while in the city council to see what kind of a mayor he would® make. One thing he did is worthy of menuon, The city was paying a royalty of &5 on every burner used on the street lamps, and he wrote to Washington and found out who the iuventor was and then arranged with him regarding the matter 8o that the city paid $100 for what hud been cosung ten times that sum. There are dozens of places now where just such extravagant expendituresare being made, but it is overlooked and the taxpayers are footing the bills. Keating would sit down on anything of that kind, and for this reason ho wiil receive strong support,” J. W. Peregoy's musbroom boom was promptly cailed 10 by thut gentleman him- self, who refused point blunk to entertain any idea of running for the ofice, and stuted that he would not accept the nomination if it was tende; him, He would uadoubtealy be a very populur candidate, but he refuses to listen to auy such proposition, Aylesworth's boom is taking a rest for the present, nothing having been heard of it for several days, and the judge's alleged candi- dacy 18 regarded as a well developed might- have-bee: The latest development in this direction 18 a baby boom in the interest of D.

After fully canvassing the situation, it was decided that A, C, Hurding would be the proper one to represent the ward this year in the city council, and ho will undoubtedly be nomi- nuted on a citizens' ticket.

About 0 yesterday morning Robert N. Martin, a tinner in the employ of Odell & Bryant, No. 501 South Maia street, fell dead of heart disease soon after arrwving at the store. He appeared to bo as well as usual and was ready to begin his day’s work when he was noticed to stagger and would have fallen had not a fellow-workmun ocaught him and placed him in & chair. The county physician was summoned, but his services were not needed, as Martin died in a veory few minutes. He was unconscious from the time he was first stricken, he remains were removed to the under- taking rooms of Lunkley & Porter and the funeral will probably take place from there tomorrow. Martin was forty-eight years of age and unmarried. Ho was a skilled work- man and was drawing very good pay. He was generally liked, veing his own worst enemy, his habita being somewhat intempor- ate, but nov sufficiently to prevent his at- tending to his work, The deceased was an intelligent, educated man and itjis stated that ho was highly connected in the east.

Details of the Storm the Little Craiser Encountered. A Lisbon_dispatch says of the York- town: She has just weathered a heavy gale, in which her seagoing quulitios were put to a severe test. She behaved admirably. For two days and two nights Comman- der Chadwick and his men were com- polled to display their seamanship, 8ays the ew York Times. ‘When the gale was at its height the steel steering quadrant broke in two places, and the little cruiser, falling off rapidly, was repeatedly swept by the heavy seas that tumbled over her. The heavy drags rigged overboard at the eur!l'y avprouch of the storm had their effect. BExcept the breaking of the quadrant the ounly accidenv which happened was the loss of a whalehoat. The cruiser stopped at Fayal two days, She recovered lost time by running from Fayal to this port, a distince of 950 miles, in three days. The average daily run was 316 miles, Upon leaving Boston sailing orders were issued by Admiral Walker requir- ing the four cruisers to keep together. The formation adopted was that of a cross, the Chicago leading, with the Boston on her starboard quarter, the the Atlanta on her port and the York- town last, 400 yards behind. At sunset the formation was changed, the York- town moving up to within double dist- ance of the Atlanta’s port quarter. For the first five days beautiful weather was experienced, light easterly winds prevailing until the latter part of the ifth day,when the wind suddenly shift- ing to the southward develobed gry ally into a fierce gale. The heavier displacements of the Chicago, Atlanta and Boston enabled them to keep posi- tions in the cross regardless of the heavy scas, The Yorktown gradually began to fall b2hind, and soon lost sight of the rest of the fleet. Commander Chadwick wisely decided to heave to. The colli- sion mat was rigged, and the cruiser The waves met and parted over the sharp stern as readily as if it had been the bow. Tt was while riding in this fashion that the accident to the quadrant of five-inch steel occurrdd. As a coun- ter drag, a whalebout with plug drawn, was lowerd. As it filled with water it wus paid away on a six-inch hawser. The hawser snapped, and away went the boat. A big sea caught the cruiser and swept away chests and ladders, but do- ing no other damage. The cruiser car- ried herself splendidly during this ex- citing period. The storm lasted throughout Thurs- day and Friday, but moderated sufliciently on ‘Saturday to allow the Yorktown to resume her course temwporary repairs, in thej meantime, having been wade to her steering ap- aratus, Westerly gales contiuued to ollow her for the next four days. On Wednesday Fayal was sighted and the cruiser anchored at Horta, Permanent repairs were made 1 the steering gear and coul was tuken aboard. Two days later she sailed for this port, favored once more with pleasant weather and smooth sailing., A new quadrant whale- bont will be furnished her at some one of the European ports. No special effort was made by the squuadron on the run over to economize fuel, The average daily consumption by the Chicago for all “purposes was thirty-tive tons; of the Boston and At- lanta, thirty tous, and of the Yorktown, while running 200 knots per day, nine- teen tons. On the run from Fayal to Lisbon the Yorktown burned thirty tons daily. It has been demonstrated 1o the satisfaction of everybody that the eight- knot speed is vot economical for the Yorktown, for the pressure of the triple expansion engines gets too low in the final cylinder. The Yorktown’s boil- ers, engines and all the fittings worked perfectly, She could go to sea again at once but for the condition of the steer- ing gear. Her entire trip was practigally made under thrue-h)urtfin boiler power. Oue-half boiler power would have been ample but for the need of wdditional power for the electriclightingand heat- ing. Fresh waler was ntained in the boilers throughout the trip, losses being made good by distilling. The erew of the Yorktown deseryos credit for their soamanship and train- ing. The health of officers and men is excellent, A MOONLIGHT MOUNT, A Brigade's First Experience Mounted During the Late War. In December, 1862, just before Rose- crans planned to start for Murfreesboro from Nashville, John Morgan broke in- to Kentucky on_one of his numerous raids, says the New York Ledger. Some one had to be sent after him. Our division—the fourth in the four- teenth army corps—was assigned to the duty. Our brigade had been stationed at Mumfordeville, on the Green river, from about October 20 until the lattor part of November, aud we had not been away from there for thirty days. This trip sent us back to within three miles of the same place, to turn around again after three or four days, and march back to Nashville and then on to Mur- freesboro, thus passing substantinlly over the same route three times in less than fort 1 but, in consequence, wo missed the heavy battlo of Stone river. When the order to pursue Morgan was received we were in camp at or Bledsoe’s creek, We moved rap- and eame so close to Morgan that s beginning to shy off, and was heading, evidently, for a return to Ten- nessee. When near Cave City, in Ken- tucky, one evening soon after we bivou- acked, we received orders to send a certain number of mules from each regiment train to a certain pomnt on the pike vithin our lines by 9 o'clock. The strangeness of the order caused a good deal of curiosity; butupon inquiry, we soon found that Col. Wiider, of an In- i riment and commanding the First brigade of ourdivision.had become possessed of the idea that 1f he could get his command to a certain point that night, he could hurt Morgan seriously, und perhaps « him. He was 50 v the project, and th in it, that be finally ailed upon our division commander to issuo the order for the mules o be furnished from the teams. Wo had no cavalry of any amount with us, and there was no way to get Wilder’s men to the point he wanted to g0 to, except to use the muloes, When it was known what was to he done the teamsters notifled some of their friends that if they wanted to see u good deal of fun in a ‘short time they had better be at the place where the muies to be taken, Accordingly quite a littie party of us went. It was u bright moonlight night. It should, perhaps, be said that of the toams used in the army one mule was ridden by the driver, and the other five may have been thoroughly broken to harness, tractable and serviceable, but quite probably hud never been ridden, and to attempt to mount them was very much like attempting to mount so many untamed mules. The men had no saddles, and all they could do was Lo jump right on the bave backs of the animals, or simply put thewr blankets on, with nothing to keep them in When we arrived there were several hundred mules on hand, and the men to mount soon arrived. The pike was so full that there was soon an overflow into a plowed field along its side.and in a short time all took to the field for ob- vious reasons. As soon as the command to mount came things became very active. In less than five minutes a good many men had been thrown on to%hu stony pike with such force and violence that they were disabied from duty that night,and quite a number were seriously 1njurad. It soon became evident that the soft plowed field was much the safer place, and all withdrew to that. There the mounting was going on on a large scale. f a man was thrown off he was not generally hurt much, as the ground was soft. is not very wide of the mark to say that for some time the air was (ull of mules’ heels, blankets and men, Considerable more than half the men were thrown off. Some went off on the eund, over the mule’s head, some on the rear cnd. Some never firmly guined a seat, but were pitched about, and finally thrown off ~ before getting entirely on. The most common thing was fora man to jump on, think he was all right, but before he was fully satisfied he would find his mule pricking upits ear: getting under pretty lively motion, and the next thing he would know he would find himself suddenly going over the mule’s head. The mule would run a short distance, and balk or jump stiff- legged suddenly and come toa dead halt. The man always went off over the mule’s head. Some of the mules would rear, some kick. Most ot them would give a kind of squeal as they started. They ran in any and ever; direction, ran into each other, and such a general mix-up no man e saw be- fore or since. It was so light that we could see distinctly, Talk about sport at a circus, at seeing one or even two trick mules perform! Here were sev~ eral hundred, all performing at once. It was a cireus complete. The men were plucky, though, and 1f thrown once, and not injured, tried it again. They labored under still greater disadvantage, because they were loaded down with their guns and accountre- ments, All the mules that had been ridden before were quiet and orderly, and alter atime the men were victori- ous. Their ofticers were hurrying them up, and they finally started off, but it was a motley cavaleade. Had John Morgan known of it and dispatched a company or two of eavalry after them, and they got near enough to have caused d stampede, it would have hgen iuslnsnph 1o churgo into the enemy’s ines as anywherg, The affair lasted: half or three-quar- ters of an Lour, and we went back to our quarters rather expecting that we might not see our mules again. They returned sometime the next day, though, but John Morgan was not brought in as a prisoner, nor any of his command, He ‘probably never knew the danger he was in. For all that, it was an attempt to do something, and some things were’ learned, even if no result followed, Our brigade was afterward mounted, armed with the Spencer repeating rifle, and did effective work, but this was their first experienced mounted, ‘I'heir commander has been engaged, since the close of the~ war, developing the mineral resourceéd of the country in the vicinity of Chattanooga, T'énn. but both he und the surviving men will remember as long as they live their first mount by moo nlight in Kentucky. D — Chemiral Sugar. It is pretty generally known that chemists can produce in their laboras tory from rags a substance very similar to sugar, and having the same sweeten- ing properties, say the St. Louis Repub- lic, The Germans ave, however, hard at work trying to produce artificial sugar on a large scale, and although its production for practical purposes has not yvet been realized considerable ad- vancement has been made and many steps taken toward ultimate success, Herr Emil Fishi has succeeded in obtuining true sugar, which will un- dergo alcoholic fermentation when yeast is applied, just like ordinary sugar. Thero is only one thing want- ing in this new chemical product,other- wise 1t does not differ from the natural product, and that is that it is optically nactive—it will not rotate & single beam of polarized light eithor to the right or tho left. Glyeerine, that eweet anchor ol so many racent investigations, is the sturt- ing point in the preparation of “‘acrose,” as the new product ls called, and which must not be confounded with saccha- rine, which is not a sugar and can nover take the place of sugar as an article of diet. The discoverors of acrose are san= guine of making a perfoct sugar at no distantday, and their work is being ched with interest notonly by the cientific world, but by the industrial and commercial world as well. i TRICKS OF BARBERS, One Mathod They Have of Discourag- Ing Undesirable Cus omers, There are tricks in all trades, and barbe acting, as they believe, for their own welfave, have developed a peculiarly unpleasant trait, says the New York Times. A well-drossed man, evidently a re- cent comer to the city, entered a hand- somely appointed barber shop, in one of the leading up-town hotelson a recent morning, ok a seatin a chair and asked to be shaved, He was accommo- dated and tortured at the same time, His beard was exceedingly heavy stiff, but the barber paid no attention to that fact, nor did he examine the cus- tomer’s face o seo how his beard grow. Tustead he used his razor as though he were going over u sixteén-year-old boy: went down one side and up the other, and drew blood frequently. When brushing the stranger’s hair, however, the artist was very attentive, and he suggested the purchase of sey- eral articles, chiefly a pre baldness. He wuas unsuc as a salesman, and the stranger left the chair with alook in hiseye which showed that be was thoroughly augry. Approaching the proprietor of the establishment he hanaed him a check and some money and i Can you tell me why the best bar- s seem Lo avoid New York? I have beeu shuved in a dozen places since my arrival here, and have been nearly butchered upon every occasion. Is it possible that in such a splendidly ritted up place as yours you employ men who have not learned their trade properly?” The proprietor scarcely vouchsufed his inquirer a look, and only muttered that if a man was not satistied with the way his place was conducted he was at liberty to be shaved clsewhere. “The provincial promptly realized that he was to receive no satisfaction, and left the place, followed by u shabby man who had been in the shop offering shoe- laces for sale. On the sidewaik the lat- ter said to the still angry man: “Give me the price of a drink and Ul tell you something about barbers that will sur- prise you.” A dime changed possession and then the shabby shoe-lace merchant deliv- ered himself as folluws: “*That man who had you in charge is one of the best bar- bers in the state. Had he n so0 in- clined he could have turnedyou out of his chair with a face us smooth and soft as to make a baby’s rough and eross- grained by comparison. “How do I know Because I am an old-time barber myself and would be one yet if I had been content to stick to bay rum aud leave New England’s famous product alone, Why didn’t he ao it, then? Dl tell you. It wasn’t to his benefit to suit you. If he had shaved you nicely you probably would have come to him again and he doesn’t want your trade. **Yes, your money is exactly as good as another’s, but your beard isn’t; don't you see? No? You are obtuse this morning, I will explain. Barbers in New York work on commission. In this shop a man receives half of every dol- lar that results from his work. The more men he shaves the greater will be his reward on Saturday night. Your beard has many characteristscs of the blacking brush, and had the proper time been given you your barber might have missed his customers. His object is simply to empty his chair as quickly as possiblo, and as New York’s floating population is so large the fact that you will never patronize him again bothers neither him nor the propriotor. ‘How can you get a decent shave then?’ Well, I guess the one way is to tip the man who operates upon you.” “By this commission system barbors earn large wages. Many of them make $18 or 820 a week, and I know a foreman in a certain hotel who for years has av- eraged $40 weekly. He is a smooth talker, however, and sells a world of hair restoratives and such things, He owns three houses 1n New York and a beautiful place on Jersey City heights. In another year or two he will retire from business and live on his money. What [ told you about the way of doing business in the leading New York shops is absolutely true, and my advice to a man with a beard like yours is, ‘Learn to shave yourself.” “Thanks. Now I can geta cigar after I have had my drink.” ey Billions of Ancestors. Did you ever think, says the St. Louis Republic, how many male and fe- 1| male ancestors were required to bring you into the world! Rirst, it was neces- sary that you should have a father and mother—that makes two human beings. Lach of them must have bhada father and mother—that makes four human beings. Each one of them must have had a father and mother—making eight more human beings, So wo go back to the time of Jesus Christ—fifty-six generations. The cal- culation thus resulting shows that 130, 235,017,489,5634,976 birchs must have ta- ken place in order to bring you into this world—you, who read these lines. All this since the birth of Christ—not since the beginning of time, According to Proctor, if from a single pair, for 5,000 vears, each husband and wife had mar- ried at twenty-one years of age and there had been no deaths, the popula- tion of the earth would be 2,199,915 fol- 1owed by 144 ciphers, It would require to hold this population a number of worlds the size of this, equal to 8,166,- 527 followed by 125 ciphers. The man mind shrinks in contemplating such numbers, - e Dynamite and Powder Trust, The dynamite and powder mills of Germany huve just tortaed a trust. The agreement will be binding to all parties till 1925. Any mill owner who violates it will be liable to heavy fines; in ng- gravated cuses as high as 300,000, All the profits of all the members of the trust will be pooled, Sixty per cent of them will go to the dynamite manufac- turers and the rest to the powder men., Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoria.

CONCERNING WOMAN'S "DRESS: Modjeska's Mantie—Artistic Gowns— Japaneac Flowers. There is a difference in tho stage wardrobes of today and those of even twenty years ago, says the New York Commercial Advertise: Paper musiin served for gowns then and white canton flannel spotted with ink made the ermine mantles. The mantle that Mm. Modjeska wore as Lady Macbeth was not of this sort. It cost $400 for the embroidery alone. Japanese tea gowns arve popular with certain women. I would not advise those who weigh over one hundred and pounds to wear them, however. A pretty girl from Philadelphia wore one of the most successful toilets seen at the Patriarchs’ ball, white tis beautifully worked with sheave: 1 gold over a Greek toilet of * rose” crepe de chine, a pale, beautiful tint seen for the first time in the ball gowns of this winter. It was impossible to keep pace with the new gowns as with their wearers. Some of the richest gowns which have yet appeared are for dinner dances, and ure of magnificont brocaded satins on paie cream grounds, with damask buds, violet sprays, silver roses of natural size, orchid blooms and hawthorn flow- ers displayed upon themn, made upas shory dresses with round skirts, half high round bodices and short sleeves open down the top to show the arms. I wonder that the fashionable world has not discovered that Japanese arti- ticial flowers are much more beautiful than French artificial flowers. The former dre the only flowers notreal that any one of taste could tolerats in vases for decorative purposes, or for the toi- let. ‘Waistcoats for women are aga'nin the fashion. Whether one likes tmhe or not, their convenience in the waofy pockets must be admitted by all, The white petticoat must go except for special oceasions. It 1s not the in- expensiveand old-fashioned ‘‘balmoral” that has taken its place, but the very expensive watered silk and satin skirt. which may be worth afortunc in lace, it one can afford it, and often is where one cannot afford it, B She Thought More of Money. There lives on Washington place, near Broadway, s young woman who was the first love of Robert Browning’s son, says the New York Sun. There was a strong attuchment between the couple, but the mother repulsed the young artist and brought her attractive daughter back to America in great haste, in order to prevent the young man from laying successful siege to the maiden’s heart and fancy, When re- monstrated with and “told that the poet’s son was a suitable match for any woman, the maternal guardian rephied that money was worth more than brains.
