Prince August of Saxe-Co- burg and other members of the Bourbon- Orleans families joined the group on Fri- day, and the meeting was, asa matter of fact, a family consultation upon the ques- tion of Ferdinand’s retirement from the Bulgarian throne in favor of his son, Boris, who is now a year and a half old. Princess Clementine, Ferdinand’s mother, whose money and pluck have persistently backed her son in his acquirement of the throne, wants him to remain in Sofia at any risk, and apparently her counsel was heeded and her propositions accepted. According to telegraphicadvices received from Coburg yesterday, Prince Ferdinand will return to Carlsbad to complete his course of the waters, after which he will go to Vienna. and later to Schwarzau to join his wife and son, passing a few days with them before starting for Sofia. Princess Marie Louise, with the young Prince, Boris, will not venture to go to Sofia until things have quieted down, but will remain at Schwarzau until Ferdinand thinks it safe for them to go to Bulgaria. Carlsbad gossip has it that” Ferdinand is very de- spondent, and tells his intimates that he feels certain that he will meet an early and violent death. In regard to Russia’s recognition of Prince Ferdinand, the Pesther Lloyd, the Hungarian official organ, declared ex- plicitly that such act on the part of Russia would suffice to give him a status with the other powers, and calls attention to the fact that the treaty of Berlin debars Rus- «ia from exercising any preponderating in- fluence in Bulgaria. A story has been A n papers, which, whether true or not, gives a very clear idea of the feeling against Prince Ferdinand which pervades ia. Itisasserted that Prince Ferdi- nand y sent a large order to the wine merchant in Pesth, who has supplied the Prince’s cellar with Hungarian wines, | and requested that the shipment be made | immediately.

'he obstacles in the way of complete harmony,” says Germania, “‘have van- ished, and the work of the congress will have a profound result, affecting Germany | and the world.” Baron von Hammerstein, late editor-in- chief of the Kreuz Zeitung, has issued a statement dated at Sistrans-in-the-Tyrol, in which he declares that the scandals cting his reputation are most mali- cic ith fiction, the hes z. The Baron takes occasion to inform his enemiesthat he will show them up thoroughly before long. It is understood that he intends to write a book disclosing the worst side of political | life in Berlin. The crnsade against Ham- | merstein has been conducted with somuch | virulence that many persons are coming | round to the belief that he is a much- abused man. A number of these persons have within the last few days declared their conviction that he has not deserved | the treatment he has received, and many prominent men who have joined in the hue and cry against him are coming in for a large share of public contempt. Intimate friends of Baron von Man- teuffel and the Rev. Dr. Stroeker, the Kaiser's chaplain, have caused the pho- er to destroy the pictures in which fiel, Hammerstein and Stroeker aped together, and Hammerstein's family residence in Berlin has been de- spoiied by hungry creditors and the con- tents of the house sold at auction. No- interfered, and the destruction of | r home was witnessed by his weeping feand ihree daughters, who called in vain apon the former friends of the absent husband and fatber to save their effects until Hammerstein could be communi- cated with and arrange a satisfactory set- tlement of his affairs. Frau Bammer- 1 and her daughters were taken com. pletely unawares. The first they knew of the designs against their home was when he officers of the law came to the house and seized everything movable therein. Hundreds upon hundreds of men who were never permitted to get within speak- ing distance of Hammerstein are foremost in casting stones at him and it is hard to realize that only a short time—a very short time ago—Hammerstein was the absolute ruler of a great political party. The King of S8axony will personally open the international literary congress in Dresden in September. One of the features of the proceedings of the congress will be an exhaustive discussion of the proposed amendments to the Berne convention. An exhibition of products of the State of California was opened on Monday last in the Equitable Insurance Company’s build- ing here and has drawn considerable pub- lic attention. The exhibit is principally of wines, fruits, cigars, hops and pictures of State scenery and will undoubtedly have the effect of informing the residents of Berlin for the first time of the wealth of the products of California. During the week several vessels drawing nineteen and a half feet have passed through the Baltic and North Sea canal without difficulty. The Vossische Zeitung, commenting on the small number of English ships passing through the canal, asserts that British ship-owners have formed a close ring to boycott the canal in oraer to force a reduc- tion of tolls. congre reco SHOT BY A BROTHER. 4 Young Girl Killed While Attempting to Stop a Quarrel. CINCINNATI, Ommo, July 28.—The young daughter of Joseph Trapp of Read- ing lies dead from a bullet wound in the abdomen, received while trying to restore peace in the family circle, Trappgot drunk this morning and began to abuse his fami?. Joseph, his 19-year- old son, interfered. Securing a revolver, he ordered the old man to stop his abuse. The 1ather became more violent, and as he rushed toward his son, young Joseph raised his revolver. The liitle girl rushed in between them, and a bullet from the re- volver killed her. The boy is ly di tracted with grief, A Beaty dis; WOES OF DIVORCEES. Hundreds of Oklahoma Decrees Declared Invalid. MANY MADE BIGAMISTS. Startling Effect of a Late De- cision by the Supreme Court. LATER MARRIAGES ARE NULL. Those Who Had Agaln Wedded Are Now in a Sorry Plight. GUTHRIE, Ox., July 28.—-The Supreme Court, in pointing out that the divorces granted during the past two years by tie Probate Court Judges here are invalid, has caused the greatest excitement. The de- cision affects many prominent wealthy men and women all over the country. These cases will be earried to the Supreme Court of the United States, and, if lost there, an eifort will be made to get Congress to pass an act legalizing the di- vorces so granted. A great many will, however, in the meantime come back to Oklahoma and secure new divorces in the District courts; where the present condi- tions are as liberal as they were in the Pro bate courts, The Territorial Legislature some years ago unintentionally repealed the law al- lowing Probate Judges the right to grant divorces, but it was not until a year and a half later, when the Supreme Court, in passing on other poinis in a divorce case, also pointed out this repeal, that 1t became known, and in the meantime Probate )Judges of the Territory had granted be- tween 600 and 700 divorces, Three-fourths of these were to people from Northern and Eastern States, who took advantage of the law allowing divorce for nearly twenty causes after only ninety days’ residence in the Territory. If this incidental opinion of the court was to hold as final these people would be in a queer predicament, especially as a large majority had afterward married, so a large fund was raised and prominent at- torneys engaged to thoroughly test the case, and the court last night decided in the same way as before, declaring that the divorces granted by Probate Judges after the repeal of 1893 were 1ull and void. All subsequent marriages of parties so divoreed | were bigamous, and any issue of said mar- riages illegitimate. LINCHED BY AOBBERS |An Aged Negro Hanged to Prevent a Threatened Expose. He Had Been Engaged to Ferret Out a Gang of Tennessee Thieves. MEMPHIS, T July 28.—Charles Burwell, an aged negro, was lynched near Meridian, Miss., last night. It was at first supposed that he had been hanged for complicity in some of the hold-ups and at- tempted murders in tbat vicinity, which recently excited the people to fever heat. 1t was thought that he was concerned in the Farmer outrage, which occurred near | where he was hanged. On the night of July 4 Lewis Farmer and his wife were | murderously assaulted and left for dead, after which their store was robbed. The | perpetrators escaped, and at present sev- eral suspects are confined in jail. When news of the lynching was received, the gen- | eral impression was that Burwell was one of the parties to the crime. Later developments, however, seem to | fasten the lynching on the real robbers, since it is learned that the old negro, Bur- well, was promised a reward of $250 to ferret out the guilty parties, and this becoming | known to them they went to his house, dragged him to the Sowashee bridge and strung him from a beam. A Coroner’s jury rendered a verdict that he came to his death at the hands of un-| known parties. PLUNGED INTO THE BAY Scores of Japanese Soldiers| Killed in a Railroad Disaster. The Train on Which They Rode Swept Off the Seawall by a Huge Wave. : BRTLE TS KOBE, Jarax, July 28.—A frightful acci- dent in which 140 soldiers perished has occurred on the railroad running from this place to Osaka. A train of twenty-three cars was conveyr ing to this city 400 Japanese solaiers, who were returning from China where they had taken part in the military operations. A heavy storm was raging, and as the train was running along the seawall on which the tracks as they approached the city are laid, an immense sea leaped over the wall, separating the train and derailing the en- gine and eleven cars, which plunged off the wall into the bay. Most of the men in them were drowned like rats in a trap. The accident occurred at about 1 o’clock in the mogning, and the night was pitch dark. The sea was running so high that it was impossible to render any assistance in the cars that had gone overboard, even had means been at hand todoso. Some of the men who managed to get out of the cars while they were in the water were dashed to death against the wall. g CLEVELAND BUYS A LAUNCH. A Little Craft “R“BQ‘I.GW the Catboat BUZZARDS BAY, Mass., July 28.—The steam yacht Oneida, with her owner, E. O, Benedict, the intimate friend of President Cleveland, on Larrived here late yes- terday. Theé Oneida brought a little naphtha launch, which has been built ex- pressly for Mr. Cleveland’s use about Buz- zards Bay.

Naval Comstructor Dashiell Rescued a Drowning Man. 3 NEW YORK, N. Y., July 28.—Two of the cruiser New York’s men who tried to desert from the ship last night came near being drowned, and one of them was only saved from death by the prompt aetion of Lieutenant Dashiell, assistant naval con- structor of the navy. One of the deserters, who was about ten feet away from his fel- low, cried out that he was drowning, and the next moment sank below the surface of the water. The other paid no attention to his cries. The drowning man appeared on the surface of the water once more, uttekred a despairing gurgle and again sank. Lieutenant Dashiell grabbed hold of a coil of rope, and, unwinding it, sprang over the rail of the ship into the water. He saw the drowning man’s head come to the surface a few feet away from him, reached out and grabbed hold of the head. By this time the men had got the boat ready and were rapidly descending the side of the ship. The lieutenant and his burden were soon pulled into the boat, and the other man was captured. The deserters were Kemp, a landsman employed on the New York, and Lock- wood, an apprentice. e : ONLY SIGNAL SHOTS FIRED. Solid Shells Were Not Sent After the Schooner Lane. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., July 28.—The schooner Carrie E. Lane, which a Spanish gunboat compellea to heave-to off Cape 8t. Antonio while bound from Cienfuegos to the Delaware breakwater, arrived at this yEort to-day. OCaptain Quick denied that | his vessel was fired at and said that only a blank eartridge was shot across the bows as a signal for the Lane to heave-to. This it did promptly and no objectien or protest was made when the vessel was boarded and searched by the Spanish marines, ‘BELLE OF MEMPRIS SUNK A Rumor That the Steamer Went Down in the Mis~- sissippi. Over Two-Score Passengers Sald to Have Lost Their Lives. MEMPHIS, Texn., July 29.--It was ru- | mored here last night that the large and | elegant steamer Belle of Memphis, owned by the Anchor Line Company, and rnn- ning between this city and St. Louis, was sunk this evening about sixty miles north | of this city. The reporthas it further that | forty or more lives were lost. At this | hour (2 A. ».) it appears highly improbable | that the rumor can be either confirmed or denied, as every resource has been ex- | hausted. There is no line along the river, | although a few telephone connections exist. One of these is with Osceola and i another is by the way of Dyersburg, but | neither of them could be raised to-night. | The only possibility lies in the coming of | some one from the boat to this city for re- | lief, in the event the accident has occurred, | as was done in the case of the steamer | Lady Lee two weeks ago. The Lee, how- | ever, went down only fourteen miles above here. The Belle of Memphis was due here last night, and reached Cairo, southbound, at | 4:30 o’clock yesterday alternoon. A fea- | ture of the rumor that gives it some force | is that which states with accuracy the | number of vassengers aboard. The list | includes a large delegation of Memphis people taking advantage of a cheap excur- sion rate and making the round trip on the | steamer. | 8T.LOUIS, Mo., July 29.—The rumor of | the sinking of the Anchor line steamer, | Belle of Memphis, bad *not been verified | by the officers of the company in this city | 3t 2 o'clock this morning. The delay of the steamer is thought by the officials to be | due to_accident. The boat left here at 6 p. M. Friday last for Memphis with a number of round-trip excursionists on board under careful management. — LGHTHING LLED S Every Member of One Family in Missouri Struck Down. . Loss of Life and Destruction of Property Caused by a Cyclone. ST. LOUIS, Mo., July 28.—During a cy- clone yesterday seven people were killed by lightning at the town of Three States. They were: George McClellan, Mrs. George | McClellan, three McClellan children, — Thomas and Mrs. Thomas. The cyclone struck the village of Three States, which is situated about fifty miles south of here. A shanty-boat which was tied at the bank was strutk by lightning, which instantly killed the owner, George McClellan, and his wife and fatally injured his three children, who have since died. Q\eir home is said to have been Kenosha, 18. Three miles west of the village, at Barns Ridge, a farmhouse was struck and Thomas and his wife were instantly killed. The gale was from the west. The smoke- stack of the Three States Milling Com- pany’s mill was blown down. The stack was 126 feet high, made of steel and well braced. The chimney did no damage. A large number of persons who sought refuge in the mill were badly frightened, but es- caped unharmed. The cyclone literally cut & swath through the woods about 100 yards wide, uprooting trees and filling t! air with fly'ing debrhg. s o KANSAS CITY DELUGED, Great Damage Done by a Terrible Down- pour of Rain. KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 28.—Kansas City and vicinity was visited about o'clock this morning by the worst rain and lightning storm in the history of the weather bureau. The rainiall here was 4.57 inches, the heaviest on record. Reports from all oyer the city indicate that the damage will foot up into the thousands. Street pavements were washed out like so much kindling wood. Side- walks were carried away, small woodsheds and outhouses were moyed to the creek bottoms and destroyed and the homes of a number of people” were flooded, ruining their furniture, e Spaniards Defeated.

A Woman Addicted t6 Lar- ceny Claims to Be Hyp- notized. NEARLY DROWNED IN A COT. Narrow Escape of a Child Forgot- ten In a Burning House by Its Parents. MADERA, CAv., July 28.—With the ex- ception of one building a whole block of business - houses was burned here last night. The fire broke out in the rear of a liquor-store, the property of Achille Four- nier. It was about 12 o'clock when the alarm was turned in, and at that time, as is the case every Saturday night, the boilers of the mill, which are used to force the water along the mains, are being cleaned ont, and the fire had gained considerable head- way before the firemen succeeded in get- ting any force of waler. The property that was burned was Four- nier’s liquor-store, the postoffice, a lock- smith and gunshop belonging to William Busse, McIntosh’s harness-shop, the shoe- store of L. D. Windrem and the miilinery establishmert belonging to Mrs. E. A. Hill. All were insured except the shoe- store of Windrem. The fire is believed to have been the work of an incendiary. PORTLAND BOYCOTTERS. The Women of the W. C. T. U. Declare Against Grocers Who Sell Liquors. PORTLAND, Or., July 28.—Multnomah County W. C.T. U., the strongest organi- zation of the kind in the State, closed a lively session here last night. The feature of the meeting was the unanimous declara- tion of a boycott by the union against all grocery-stores and shop-dealers who keep tobacco, cigarettes or liquor in any shape or form for sale. The meeting was largely attended and each member pledged herself to bring the grocers to time by refusing to patron- ize them unless they complied with the re- quest of the union to assist in eradicating the evils of intemperance by refusing to sell goods of this character. The decided moral stand taken by the women attracts considerable attention, but the boycotted dealers remain quite un- moved by their bold declaration. Many prominent temperance workers who were present at the meeting spoke enthusiastic- ally on the temperance movement. CLAIMS TO BE HYPNOTIZED. The Defense of a Woman Addicted to Deeds of Theft. PORTLAND, Oz, July 28.—Dolly Agnew, the young worian confined in the County Jail on a charge of larceny, only one of many gimilar previous escapades, has made the startling claim that she is sub- ject to hypnotic influence. She claims that William Woodard forces her to steal in spite of herself. When sbe is released from jail here she is to be taken to Tacoma to answer charges of wholesale thievery from lodging houses and hotels, and her friends will endeavor to show in defense that the young woman’s criminal career of the past two yearsis due to the peculiar power exercised over her by Woodard, her accomplice in some of the robberies. The Agnew woman and Woodard have carried on the operation known as ‘‘graft- ing’” all over the Northwest. She is an mtelligent young woman, and claims that her father, whose name is unknown, isa banker and ex-Alderman of Chicago. Dolly would have been placed in the penitentiary for the greater part of her life months ago had it not been for the sympa- thy in her behalf, exerted on the authori- ties to good advantage. Wherever the woman stops she never leaves unless she obtains a goodly amount of pelf. She earnestly declares that she means to be good, and would notdo wrong but for Woodard's subtle power, which, she says, has driven her into trouble again and again. Her stealings here and on the Sodnd aggregate many hundredsof dollars. A BLAZE AT SAN RAFAEL. Little Damage Done, but a Child Nearly Drowned in Its Cot. SAN RAFAEL. Cavn., July 28.—A fire started at 10 o’clock to-night in John Green’s house on Third street from a de- fective chimney. The family occupied rooms in the upper portion of the house, and Robert Buchanan, an engineer on the Narrow Gauge road, and his family lived in the lower part. They were asleep when the fire started, and on being called from their beds es- caped if great haste, Mrs. Buchanan leav- ing a child in its cot. The child was al- most drowned with water from the en- gines when rescued by a fireman. At 11:30 ». M. the fire broke out again and destroyed the upper story. The damage was about $1000, fully cov- ered by insurance. MISSIRG ROBBER'S SPOILS Br‘a’dy Fails to Locate the Pro- ceeds of the Yolo Train Hold-up. He Tells Sheriff Cunningham How He Twice Met Him Face to Face. SACRAMENTO, Car., July 28.—The search for the $53,000, the proceeds of the ‘n robbery of nearly a year ago, 1 abandoned, although the detec- a their faith as to the authenti- C .e story of Browning’s confession, relaed by Braay as to the method in which the coin had been secreted. ‘‘Brown- ing told me,"” said Brady, “‘that the money, after being conveyed from the express-car to the engine, was taken to within a mile of Washington, taken from the engine and thrown in some dense brush about 100 yards from the track. Owing to the lack of time they did not bury the treasure, but .inaply covered the bags over with leaves and hurriedly made their escape.” At an early hour this morning Bu«:{ was taken from his cell in the County Jail, and, after being securely handcuffed, w: 1 Placed in a vehicle and,in company with Detectives Thacker and Snyder of the ‘Wells-Fargo Exrmss Company, Sheriff Johnson and his deputy, was rapidly driven through the city anfl over the bridge that spans the Sacramento River to the -uil?osed locahtg of the secreted treas- ure. Here, under Brady’s directions, an active search was instituted, but without avail. Some fortunate individual had evi- dently been there peforehand. Themoney had disappeared. _Brady seemed fully as disappointed at his inability to recover the treasure as were the officers themselves, for it has been long1 understood that Wells, Fargo & Co. would cheerfully forego prosecution could they obtain the return of the money, and the probability is that Brady depended to a great extent ué)o_n their promise to secure his freedom, an | it was probably for the purpose of securing immunity from prose- cution that he revealed the alleged confes- sion of Browning as to the location of the stolen treasure. After the search had been abandoned and Brady had been returned to his cell in the county jail he was visited by Sheriff Cunningnam of Stockton. Brady regogmzed him immediately. ‘Hello, Sheriff,” he said, extending his hang. "ng are you?”’ ‘Do you know me?"’ i thiat queried the veteran ,“Certamly Ido,” answered Brady, ‘“‘and I've met you twice during the period you have all been hunting me. Once on the San Francisco ferry-boat, where you looked me right in the face and made me think I was a goner sure. The other time I was seated ina buggy in front of the Yosemite Hotel in Stockton and you came up and looking me straight in’ the face asked me where I was going and 1 told you I was going to drive a commercial traveler to a station a few miles from Stockton. Remember?” queried Brady. A look of chagrin crept over the face of the veteran Sheriff as he acknowledged that such was the fact. ‘‘Oh, no one would know me by the de- scription and pictures that were in the hands of the officers, and it was the knowl- edge of this fact that made me so reckless in traveling around the country. I was only recognized by one persom, and that was a fellow I had worked with near Biggs station. He giave me away.” Rumor has it that Brady possesses pow- erful friends who will engage the very best 1&;1{11_ tf]em to defend him when he comes o trial. SACRAMENTO cCOUNTYSUIT It Is to Be Brought Against the Southern Pacific Company. Attempt to Be Made to Recover $15,000 Said to Have Been Il- legally Paid. SACRAMENTO, Car., July 28.—Suit will be brought against the Southern Pa- cific Railroad Company for the recovery of $15,000, claimed to have been illegally paid to themw by the Board of Supervisors of Sacramento County for the building of a bridge across the Sacramento river, be- tween Yolo and this city. Over a year ago an agent of the railroad company appeared before the Board of Supervisors of BSacramento County and represented that the present bridge was becoming so dilapidated as to be positively unsafe, and that it was the intention of the company to immediately erect a mnew structure, He also said that the Board of Super- visors of Yolo County had voted $10,000 toward the erection of a new bridge, and said that the company would agree to erect a double roadway, the one to be used by vehicles to be above the roadway used for tte passage of trains, upon the condition that $15,000 cash be paid down by the Board of Supervisors of Sacramento County before work was commenced, and $15,060 more og the completion of the bridge. These were the only specifications pre- sented, and upon them a vote of the board was taken which resulted favorably, and the money was paid. During the late session of the Grand Jury the matter was brought to its atten- tion, and after inquiry it directed District Attorney Frank D. Ryan to institute pro- ceedings for the recovery of this amount. Deputy District Attorney Charles T. Jones is at the present time engaged in reparing these papers, and ‘as operations or the building of this bridge have already been commenced and there is no doubt but the railroad company will fight the case, these papers have to be prepared with ex- traordinary care, as they will have to bear the close inspection of some of the leading legal talent in the State. There are other methods of procedure by which this money may be regained—for instance, suit against the County Treas- urer, who actually paid the money; against the 'Auditor, who passed the claim, or against the indiyidual members of the Board of Supervisors who voted for its payment, but as the main thing is to re- cover the sum District Attorney Ryan has deemed it advisable to proceed against the company.

REDDING, CAL., July 28.—An immense fire can be seen to-night raging east of Red- ding, apparently about three miles distant. Tt is in the vicinity of Churn Creek, and the heavy black smoke indicates that farm houses are burning.

The blaze and the reflection in the sky presents a brilliant scene from Redding, and hundreds of people are out gazing at the spectacle. ACCIDENTALLY SHOT. W.

Wins- low, a resident of Oakland,employed on the Pacific Press, the organ of the Ad- ventists in that city, was accidentally shot at a cabin near Tower House, eighteen miles from this city, late yesterday after- noon. Winslow and his brother-in-law, Horace | Lyle, had been out on a hunting expedi- tion in Trinity County and returned yes- terday to the cabin belonging to E. P. Conner, the stepfather of Lyle. After resting half a day, the two men began cleaning their guns and arranging for another trip. Lyle was at work clean- ! ing his shotgun. He finished the task and put in a shell. Winslow was sitting about three feet away, when in some man- ner the gun was discharged. The charge entered Winslow's left leg just below the | knee, going clear through the fesh and bone.
