Romantic Stories from the Lives of Men and Women, PICTURES OF AFFECTION BRIGHT AND SAD e » Devotion Rewarded by the Wealth of Woman's Love—The Fabrics of ove's Young Dream Shate tered and Broken. New Yonk, Sept. 27.—A romantic court- ship, which began at tho Austrian spa just two years ago, will end in a wodding in this city early in December. The pride-elect is Miss Cora Cahn, daughter of M. Hen Cahn the millionaire importer of 171 Kast Sixty-third streot, New York, and tho bride- groom is Herr Oscar Von Calm of the Niath Hussars, alde-de-camp of Heridetary Duke Ferdinand Este, who will succoed the pres- st emporer, F'ranz Josoph, on the throne of Austria. What will surpriso Miss Cahn's friends and co-religionists is the fact that she will renounce her faith and become a communicant of the Catholic church, to which her intended husband belongs, Love at First Sight. The history of tho courtship teems romance. It was a caso of love at st sight, Miss Cahn and Lieutenant Von Im met at Baden, a fashionable watering place near Vienna, a year ago last summer, She and her parents had spent tho season abroad and after doing ISurope sottled down inavilla not far from tho springs. Herr Von Calm first saw Miss Calmon the prome- nade, again at an aftsrnoon concert, and, so, for two months, the couple were thrown into each other's socicty without being formally introduced, The kind oftices of u mutual friend brought them together and from that time they wero devoted lovers. Miss Cahn troasured her affection for the young lieutenant as'a secret. She coufided in 1o one, not even her parents, The lieutenant did likewise. Aud so it hap: pened their mcetings through tho season caused no comment, Miss Cahn is n strikingly handsome girl, 19 years old, tall and distinguishea, with a well rounded figure. Her hair is glossy black and her face a rich tint, suggesting her oriental origin. The season over Miss Cahn accompanied her parents back to America and Von Calm rojoined his rogiment. Befors parting Von Calm confessed his love, which was r ciprocated. He promised to marry Mis Cahn, provided the gulf which divided them could bo bridged over. This seemed to bo an almost hopelest task, in view of the man obstacles themselves. Miss Cahu is a jewess and Austrian etiquette doos uot tolerate her race in court society. Herr Von Caln belongs to the most ex- clusive of Austrian families. His father is a rich retired banker,and bis brother is premier ant of the Ninth Hussars, of which the heir of Russia, is the hovorary colonel This brother is married to the Countess. Szalary, and the family has many decorations Stern Parents Object. Beyond Ler wealth and the luxurious style in which her parents live, Miss Cahu was un- known. The only affairs she attended were the soires given at tho various hotels, to which everybody at the Spa was welcome. Von Calm, too, was rich. So much wealth was not as important as it might have been under other circumstances. These were tho main obstacles which tho ardent leutenant set about’ to remove. His parents refused point-blank to listen to his suit. They made all sorts of threats in caso he porsisted in marrying Miss Cahin, and absolutely refusod to recognize her. Several officers ot Von Culm'’s regiment interceded in his behalf, but to no purpose. Nothing daunted, Von Calm turned to his colonel, Duke Ferdinaud, and the duke's answer was a kind yet a firm refusal. He applauded the honesty and the sincerity of his ofiicer’s affection, but such a marriage was out of the question, He told Von Calm plainly that in case it was consummated his presence at the Austrian court would become intolerablo aud hence his resignation from the service must follow. To conciliate the young man the duke promised to attach him 10 his suito when he ascended tho throne, but even this tempting offer did not causo Vo Calm to wav in his devotion to the woman of his choice, All Obstacles Removed. For a time he despaired of over marrying tho girl he loved. He continued to perform his duties as adjutant of the regiment, but took no part in 1ts social ffairs. Last spring ho accompunied the duke to Berlin to witness the manouvers of the German army, While thero ho agnin broached the subject to tho duke and begged him to give bis sanction to the marriago, As vofore the duke tried to reason with Von Calm to whom he was much attached, but sceing that the young officer was determined ho finally gave his consent upon the assurance that ho would not marry Miss ('ahn unless sho became converted to the faith of tho Austrian court. Ho went 5o nmear as to write to Miss Cahn's family, stating upon what terms e had given bis consent. Vou Calm's morhier, who is one of the Naughtiest ladies of Vienna, was the last to give in, and it was ouly tLrough the kind offices of the duke in her son’s behalf that sho finally relented, Thus the last obstacle was removed, and Von Calm sent the jovous news to his bride, When Miss Cahn returned to Baden in duly lnst, Von Calm proposod and was ac- coptec The girl's parents at first strenuously ob- jected o her renouncing her faith, They wero willing to recoive Vou Calm as a son- n-law, but they were loath to have their daughier give up the religion of her fathers, Love finally triumphed and tha elder Cahns gave their consent. Tho ungagement was not made public, however, in fact, every thing wus doue to keep it from being known. Lieutenant Von Caln obtained u leave of abseuce for one year, and four weoks ago ho arrived here on the Normondia with his father ana tock quarters at the Hotel Bruns- wiek, Miss Cahn is still in Europe trousseau, and will r ou tho Fuorst Bism with preparing her ra early in October, k, on which passage has been taken for her.

It was in Brot Harte style and wove a pretty tala around the American. Another poem, ‘‘The Gamester's Love, was more or less marked by the influence of the gaming table.

Legality of Their Sublease to Contrac: tors to be Tested in the Courts. Kyoxvitie, Tenn,, Sept. 27.—The pen- tentiary lease question will now go to the courts in so far as it relates to the convicts who are worked away from the main prison, oa rather subleased. 1t will bo remembered that Attorney General Picklo in an elabor- ate opinion held that the convicts could not b sabloased. Nothing came of this before the legislature, Now, however, the question &0es to the courts, William Warren, & white convict of the rracks at Bricoville, nas through bis attorneys filed a petition in the Inox county criminsl court, before Judge Sneed, praying o writ of habeas corpus. ranted and addressed to the warden at Briceville, who is called on to show cause why he should not surrender the prisoner. Tho writ is mado returnablo noxt Wednesday. Tnis brings the whole question before the cour “The objoct is to determine the legality of the sublease, and 1f it be decided that” the convicts cannot b sublot, then all convicts must be taken from those places whore they arc now working on_sub-contracts. This would remove them from Briceville, Conl Creek and Oliver Springs. If tho potition for habeas corpus is favorably acted upon, it is understood that the lessces will tako the case to the supremo court of the state, which is now in session here. If thoy win, those acting for the convicts will take the case up. It is beneved that within two months at the most, perhaps less time, a tinal decision can be had. > 10 SUICIDE, Ambrose P Hangs Himself causeHe Wag Called a Scab, Miiyiiie, N.

Parkison, convicted of murder in the second degree for the killing of a feliow so.dier, Roy Baker, had escaped from the Laramie county Jail, The story of the escape is a very strange one. The jail is in the rear of the court house and forms part of that building. En- trance is effected through tho court house ball way, on either sido of which are doors leading into tho various county offices. At the end of this hall way is an iron door which leads to the juil. The cells are enclosed in an enormous steel cago whick s placea in the miadle of an oblong room. The interior 1s kept well lighted all night, whilo the court house hall- way is brilliantly illuminated. William Kelly, brother of the sheriff, is the night watchman, who is supposed to stay inside the jail all night and sce that nothing goes wrong. According to his story, about 1 o’clock this morning thero was a rap at_the outside door. Believing that it was one of the employes of the sneriff’s office ho opened it about six inches and was confronted with the cold muzzle of a big revolver. It was held in the hands of a rather thick set mun who wore short whiskers and a soft felt hat drawn well forward *“Chrow up your hands,” said the caller and Kelly promptly complied. Then on the invitation of tho man he came out into the hallway and under cover of the gun opencd the door of the sheriff’s oftice. “‘Open that,” said the intruder pointing to the big safe. Kelly compiied with the request. “Now takeout a pair of handeuffs.’ This order was also obeyed. Kelly was then told to take a seat in @& rocking chair. He was thon invited to pick upa two-foot picco of garden hose al his fect, This he was oraered to cut in two. Having done this a half inch boit of iron was shoved through the opening in the hose Under the skiliful directions of the visitor the mght watchman carefully adjusted the hose to his own mouth and With tue aid of two broken pieces of suspenders had soon improvised a very effectual gag. The pris- oner was then ordered to put on the hand cuffs, and this having been done his lews were chained to the chair. “Dhis is pretty tough on you Keily” said the energetic fellow, *‘but I can’t see an innocent man suffer so I came here to re- lease Parkison.” The man then went into the safe and took out such keys as Lie wauted, took some othery from Kelly and fishing a watch out of Kelly's pocket remarked that it was still in tho “shank of the evening.” Putting the watch back in Kelly'd pocket ne told him if he made a sioglo moan his lifo would be the penalty and strodo iuto the jail. He must have Dbeen 1 there from an hour to an hour and a half, as about that time would be required for & man uu- familiac with the locks to find his way into a particular cell. When he returned he had two men with him, Parkison and Miller. They rummaged about for shoes and overcouts. Parkison and his deliverers took an overcoat and n gum cout. Miller, who is only about 17 years old, found trouble'in getting & pair of shoes and finally compromised on o pair which he partly filled with rags. The entire proceed- ings was cool and leisurely. When the purty got what they wauted they simply disap- peared, Keliy’s offorts to release himself were fin- ally successful and rushing into the jailor's residence he aroused Deputy Sherift Sharp less. Together thoy made an inventory and found but two birds missing. At i o'clock the police were notified so thata search could be instituted, Sheriff Kelly being out of town. About 8 o'clock this morning a couplo of tramps arrived in town from the east. Both had formerly been iumates of the jail and thoy notified the authorities that thicy had passed the threo fugitives. Deputy Saeriff Oscar Sharpless was by this time institut- ing o search at tho Herford ranch oast of town, und J. M. Newman, a livery- man, started down the roud with a team, He had one of the tramps with him. They didn’t get any trace of Miller until they reuched Atkins, There a Union Pacile track walker was mot. Ho said ho had scen a youth answering Miller's description, farther east. About five miles east of Atkins Newman noticed Millor on the railvoad track. Miller voticed him about the same time and sat down_to wait for him. When he came up Miller said: “I guess you are after me.” Newman 1 he was and Mitler got into the buggy without making Auv resistance and was once more locked up. He said thav Cleveland Curley, o tramp, had liberated them. He was awakened by the opening of the cell door. Parkison, in leaving, noticed Milier and said, “Charley’s awake, let's tako him, too.’ Miller claims that they left him at the’ court house. He was footsore, huvgry und sun burnt and so sullen when he got back to tho jail that he would suy scarcely a word. A strang circumstance in connection with the affair 1s that Miller committed his double murder just a year ago today and at bretty nearly the same point at whichi he was captured this morning. - He is under sentence of death aud the dato was fixed, but it has gone by, owing to the fact that his case 1s being reviewed in the supreme court. No traco has been secured of Purkison. Tne country s being scoured for him, but s his arrungements for escapa wero undoubtedly complete his recapture is scarcely antici- pated.

The party carried two boxes in the carriage, contamning two mortars and a dozen twenty-ono pound bombs, When the outskirts of the town were reached tho mortars wero un- acked and upon u small hill. hree rounds were fired, four sholls be- ing exploded at each volley, while broken clouds were passing over head.
