There was a reception by the Woman's Re- lief corps to Commander Lawler and staff In Grand Army of the Republic circles it was the leading #ocial event of the week. Thou- sands of old soldiers, both of the blue and of the gray, attended. The reception began at 9 o'clock, and for two hours veterans, blue and gray, and their wives paid their respects to the rec:iving party. It is estimated by veterans who have attended every annual en- campment since the Grand Army of the Re- public was organized that the reception to- night surpassed anything of the kind ever held in its honor. It is claimed that 10,000 people passed through the Gault house, where the reception was held. The parlors were elaborately decorated in honor of the event. Flags, bunting and tropical plants were artis- tically arranged about the rooms. There were three large parlors devoted to the occa- sion, and from the time they were opened until they closed an unceasing flow of peo- ple passed through, paying their respects to the commander-in-chief and other members of the receiving par The receiving part was_composed as fol- lows: Mrs, Emma R.

The land fs valuel at $25,000, and is ciaimed by Margaret Johugon, a sister of John Craig, who died therc a year ago. Mrs, Johnson's ownership of the land Is contested by Mary Clancy of thi. city, a young woman who claims she was married to Craig a few days before his deat’.

REMEMBERED HIS FIRST LOVE, When John Craig came to this city in June, 1894, he was dying of consumption. His hollow cheeks and hacking cough fore- told the quick approach of death., He went to the home of Henry Walton, who had besn peacs, his schoolmate in boyhood, and remained tuere until the latter part of July. It was while he was at Walton's that Miss Clancy visited him frequently, and she says they went to Savannah one day and were ‘mar- tied. On his deathbed Craig told his ister that he had never been married. Miss Clancy says they were married on July 27, while the marriage certificate is dated July 28, the day Craig returned to his Iowa home to die. Cralg and Miss Clancy had been sweethearts fn their younger days—when he was a boy at werk on his father's farm and she lived with her parents In an Iowa village. They had been lovers many years, but became es- tranged, and Miss Clancy married a man named Baker. As Baker's wife she went to ive with him at Savannah and Craig lost sight of her for a long period. He acquired wealth and traveled all over the world, but was never married unless he married Mary Clancy a week before e died. LOVE STORY SHATTERED. The young woman's cholce of a husband was an unhappy one, and she was divorced from Raker. The divorc: was granted July 18, 1894, at Savannah, and the court gave her back the name of Mary Clancy. The day after the divorce was granted she met John Cralg again at the Walton home in thio city. When Craig died it was found that his wiil, made many years ago, bequeathed $1,000 of his estate to Mary Clancy. She says he married her when they were reunited after thelr long separation, and as his widow she claims an interest in his estafe. The love story of Mary Clancy is shattered by the justice of the peace who married her to the man claimed to be John Craig, and by the witnesses present at the time. They describe a man who was in perfect health, but who walked with a limp. The bride- groom was tall and of heavy build, while John Craig was slender and emaciated, and his form bent under the weight of the disease that was dragging him down to the grave. The description given by the witnesses to the marriage is exactly that of a St. Joseph man who was known to be a friend of Miss Clancy. Should it prove to be.him who impersonated Craig at the wedding, he is a bigamist, for he has a wifs in this cit At the hour Craig Is £ald to have been m: ried in Savannah he was many miles away, going to his home in Greenfield, where he died a weck later. Has Yet SAN FRANCISCO, Sep'. 10.—Arnother week of tho Durrant trial opened today, after three days' rest. The witnesses today were all of the searching party when the garments of Blanche Lamont were discovered concealed in nooks and cornes of the belfry of Emin- uel church. The defendant's at'orney trie to show by the witnesses that the polies da- partment had conducted the examination of the church building carelessly, and that while the hunt progressel the church was open to the public, and that hundreds of curlois c ti- zens passed through the building. The pol'c» stated on cross-examination that the ariicles had beon found in places difficult of access, indicat'ng that the person who had hidden them had beon familiar with the baifry. John T. Dare, a prosecuting attorney of th police courts, testified that under the head of Blancho Lanmiont's body, as it lay in the bel- fry, had besn p'zead two boks of wood, such as are common in diss2cting rooms. S To Abhandon Shippers’ Welghts, CHICAGO, Sept. 10.—The freight lines of the Central Trafiic assoclation were in ses- sion today, but accomplished nothing of im- portance. The chief matter before the meet- ing today was the question of welghts at the stock yards in this city. Under the present system shippers' welghts are adopted, and the manner in which they are handled gives rise to some dissatisfaction, as some of the shippers claim the roads have favorite cus- tomers who are given better welghts than they receive. It was proposed to handle the maiter in the same way the western roads looked after the business, which would take it entirely out of the hands of the shippers. The latter are very strongly opposed to the change, and the roads will be compzlled to overcome a power of opposition if they make aay change in the present method.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 10.—The steamer City of Sydney which arrivel from Panama last night brought pariiculars of the capture of Florencio Bustamente, one of Anton'o Ezeta’s favorite lieutenants, by the Salvador authorities. It Is supposed by the Spanish Americans who came up on the City of Syd ney that he has been torn to pleces by an in- furiatel mob or publicly shot in the strests of the city of San Salvador long before this The surrendet of Bustamente by the people of Nicaragua came by way of return for the friendly act of Salvador in the Corinto affair. The arrest of Bustamente while aboard an American ship is said to be in direct violation of International law, and the turbulent Cen- tral Amerlean republic may be called to ac count for its high-handed action by tho United States. Captain Johnston of the City of Syd- ney refused to discuss the matter, saying that he could not do o until he had further con- sulted his superiors, Bustamente was found after much dificulty hiding under the coal bunkérs. Though he knew he was going fo his death when he left the steamer, he never uttered a reproach. He declared that he should remain Ezeta's friend to the last. The steamer company had no other re covrse than to turn over Bustamente, for war- rants_charging him with crime were pe- sented and the government of Salvador, on of the countries which gives a subsidy to the Pacific Mall company, made a formal demand for his surrender. Concerning the fact that a consular agent of the United States was on the steamer when Bustamente was formally seized there is little to say. The consular agent was Mr. Cooper, who is at L Libertad in tue interest of the cable company. It is maintained that he was aboard the steamer, not in his consular ca- pacity, but as repre:enting the cablo company. He ook no hand in the matter in any way and did not direct the surrexder of Busta- mente, as some of the passengers supposed. Bustamente was well known in San Fran clsco, as he was under arrest here as one of the Salvadorean refugess. In regard to the surrender of Florencio Bustamente, one of Antonlo Ezeta's lieu- tenants, whom the district court refused to glve up to President Guiterrez of San Sal- vador, by the steamer City of Sydney to the Salvadorean authorities at Liberatad, Alex ander Center, local agent of the Pacific Mail steamship, n an interview today upheld the conduct of Captain Johnson. ~ Center said that Johnson did mot surrender Bustamente until forced t~ do so by the authorities at Liberatad. United States Attorney Foote sald: “It would be the husiness of the American min- ister at San Salvador to stay any executlon of the prisoner until the United States gov- ernment could investigate the matter and see whether any treaty obligations had been vio- lated. It was for refusing to interfere in the Barrundia case that Lansing B. Misner was removed from the office of minister.” WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.—Aithough no offi- olal:report of the forcible seizure on board an American steamer of Antonio Bustamente by the Salvadorean officers at La Libertad lias reached Washington, it is believed here from the presentation of facts made in the report that the seizure was lawfully made and that the United States cannot make an International issue in this case. For some time affer the tragic killing of General Barundia the policy of the government was understood to be that a passenger on a United States merchant vessel under such circum- stances could not be foreibly removed from the ship. But later on there was a decided qualification of this doctrine and the pasition of the State department was especially stated by Secretary Gresham in a letter to the president of the Pacific Mail Steamship com- pany, dated December 30, 1893, in connec- tion with his complaint against the action of the Hondurean government in firing upon one of that company's vessels for refusing to deliver up a passenger. The secretary wrote In part: “As a comprehensive principle, it is well established in international law that a merchant vessel in a forelgn port s within the local jurisdiction of the country with respect to offenses or oftenders agalnst the law thereof and that an orderly demand for tke surrender of a person accused of crime by due process of law, with exhibition of a warrant of arrest in the hands of the regularly accredited officers of the law, may not be disregarded nor resisted by the master of the ship. —— - PRACTICA 4 JOKE RE ATALLY S F.

Insurgents Drew Them Into o Trap and Prac 1y Annihilated Them, NEW YORK, Sept. 10.—A special from Havana under date of August 30 says There s a report about town that a gre battle has be:n fought in Puerto Principe and that the Spanish have be:n defeated and the capital captured by the insurgent forces. It s said that a strong force of Spanieh troops left the clity of Puerto Principe to make a bold attack upon the in surgents, who were besleging the town The insurgents fled after making a weak resistance, but it was only to draw the anfards into an ambuscade. Once in the trap the Spaniards were attacked in front by Maceo and in the rear b cral Gomez. The rebel forces obtained a compl:te victory, and entered the capital triumphant, 14,000 strong. How near the truth this statement is cannot b ascertained, but General Cam- pos' immediate departure for Neuvitas the very day he arrived here is suggestive of something very serious having happened. ¥'% Debt to Be Refunded.

Less than half a mile separated the two, and anxious eyes kept pace, second by sccond, with the time fn- dicators as they moved around, and when it was sewn that Defender had lost nothing in the last twenty miles of the course, but had actually gained, a great shout went up for the gallant vessel. There were cheers for the victor too; but although Valkyrle was the first challenger since '71 to lead over the home line the honor of her per- formance was lost sight of for the time In the grand effort of the American, for if it were for nothing else the American heart loves the hard loser in the fight and loves him the more when he loses through no fault of his own. It was a grievous accident that ruined the Yankee boat's chances, an accident which, under the hair-splitting circumstances ot Jockeying at the starting line, looksd to be unavoidable. Early In theé morning the racers had leisurely made their way down to the Hook from Bay Ridge. They circled in great rings about the lightship until the signals went up for the courss, and then’ the skippers took a tighter grip on the wheel. Hank Haff had made a record in seaman- ship on Saturday and the English skipper prepared to regain the fams which had pre= ceded him. They maneuvercd swiftly after the preparatory gun had been fired, and with Valkyrie to the windward. Captain Haft mad: every effort to gain that position. Just before reaching the line, when Valkyrie was still to windward and Defender to leeward, a length astern, but still overhauls ing her, the American boat was blank:ted 8o much that her baby jib topsail and jib shook, and Captain Haff, seeing this, luffed up a little, evidently intending to let the other boat go ahead for the purpose of enabling him to pass under her stern and to windward. Captain Sycamore, at Vals kyrie's tiller, noted this move and luffed up also. It was then that how dangerously close racers were. And just too, a snap and rending and it was seen that Defender's Jib topsail was flying loose In the wind. Valkyrie's main boom had swung round and fouled Defender's rigging. To thoss who had wits nessed the accident and sprang forward at the ominous sound, it scemed as though Defonder trembled with the shock. Thed saw her topmast bend and her topsail swing over as though it would break away, and a groan went up as though the brave boat which had won o ncble a victory a few days before was wholly debarred form even an effort to sccure a second. - Lightning action was necessary to save the topmast from breaking away completely, for it was already sprung from ite fastening, and Captain Haff, with a master stroke, taking nis boom down to leeward, soon maneuvered her into & safe position and gave chase. VALKYRIE HAD A GOOD LEAD. Valkyrle, which had crossed the line first, had gained a good lead by Defender's dise aster, and had probably a little more than half a mile advantage at the end of the first 12g in the triangular course over which they safled. Her gain was something less than four minutes in the beat to windward. From that on, however, Defender, while not per- ceptibly closing the gap beiween them, les sened the time and they crossed the line not much more than two minutes apart. Val- kyrle, according to corrected time, howayer, wins from the cup defender by just forty= seven seconds. Such an ideal day in the lower bay has seldom been seen. 1t was not what American yachtsmen call an ideal racing day, but na ture has always been kind to Dunraven, that gallant English sportsman, and for the sec ond time In the gecond race of the series for the America’s cup and the hLonor of the sport the wind and the seas have favored the man who came #o often to the line like a truo Briton, with seldom a chance of wine ning, as events have huppened iftle was promlsed in the way of pleasant weather during the carly hours of the day, for the clouds hung low and the fog spread itself over the waters and a misty rain fell, Old weather sharps declared there might be a fair bresze outside, but rain it would. Soon after the long, keen racers weighed thelt anchors off Day Ridge there came a burst of sunshine, veiled in a golden haze, and when tha old lightship was reached ere wias & eky flecked only here and there with a lght cloud. Out through the Narrows and into the open water Defender 8tood up high, far ahead of Valkyrie 1 going under her own canvas almost before the Englishman thought the thousands noticed to each other the at that moment, sound was heard of holsting his mainsall. Passing craft, In- ward bound, drew alongslde to feast their eyes on the beauties, and, early as it was when the lightship was reaciied quite a hand- some flect was drawn up to greet them. And later on there was life and motion at the start, although it was not such a scenc as was presented on the day of the first race. Far back In the qulet hours the sea was dotted here and there by a safl and the smoke on the horizon told of an advanclug fleet, and when the first gun was fired a swinging van- guard, bright with color, was there to speed the racers on thelr journey DEFENDER RECOVERED QUICKLY, Then, while o1l eyes were on that luyisible line over which @ step made too soon would bo fatal, Defender's mishap came. Recover g quickly, bowever, and followed cagerly by the eyes of those to whom the breaklng away of the topsail and the bendivg of topmast meant for the moment al snent of all hope, she went in puisu Valkyrio's load and her better posiiiocn wa: ¢ uch improved during the first leg.
