Hundreds of soclety people flocked to the church, but a sign on the door sald, “"No wedding to-night.” The couple disappeared after thelr runaway wedding.

It is not known what legal action the rejected bride groom will take. He is now at the bedside of the bride’s mother, who Is prostrated at the turn of events. When they reached the parsonage the marriagce license was produced, and the f thing the clergyman inquired was as to the reason they should ne to Lynn to be married, when there were so many clergymen in Cam- ridge, and when both resided there, as Mr. Sloan had stated that he was a Harvard student. The reply was that they wished to avoid publicity, and had determined to be joined in wedlock as privately as possible. It was with considerable anxiety that the question was asked of the clergyman as to whether or not witnesses were required to the ceremony. This was no- ticed, and when the reply came that under the law such was not the case Mr. Sloan sald: “Well, please perform the ceremony at once, so that we e g & P =4 > 5 o2 082 0 83 OLORONON TRAROUOLO B O may depart. = Standing in the little parlor of the house, With a bunch of roses in the {5 vase at the window, the minister pronounced the solemn words which made & them husband and wife.

The latter provides that in consideration of $1 paid by the local organization the grower signing agrees to turn over to the association 7 per cent, plus 1 cent per box, for loading, for which the as- ciation agrees to market the fruit in the best possible manner and at the best possible prices.

Senator Boyce finished his closing ar- gument at 12:15 o'clock. The District | Attorney then spoke, and the jury re- tired at 4 o'clock. The defendant left the court room, which was filled with visitors, all anxious to hear the verdict of the jury. At 9:20 p. m. the defend- ant returned. At the jury, fol- lowed by an immense throng of specta- tors, entered the courtroom. It is said the jury reached an agreement early, but held back the announcement be- | cause it did not want to report before the crowd that remained in the court- | tiago. room in the early hours of the evening, wishing to spare the accused woman as much as possible. Finally the Coun- ty Clerk read the verdict: “We, the jury, find the guilty.” The defendant was given until 10 o'clock to appear for sentence or make a motion for a new trial. Mrs. .Storke was indicted by the Grand Jury in December last on a charge of sending libelous letters to Dr. S. A. Winchester. The twon had been flooded with the anonymous let- ters making charges of the vilest na- ture against Dr. Winchester and Dr. , a young woman practic- ing here. res of letters were re- ceived in May, June and July, 1898, and the postal authorities took the matter up.

TRUSTS ARE UNLAWFUL UNDER IOWA'S LAWS Attorney General Remley’s Interest- ing Address at a Convention of County Attorneys. DES MOINES, Ia., June 21.—Attor- ney General Remley, in an address to- day to the county attorneys of the State, in convention here, declared that trusts are unlawful under the Iowa laws. He advised county attorneys to use their efforts to suppress trusts in the State.. Among other things the At- torney General said: “There is no question that combina- tions entered into by large aggregations of capital to increase prices or decre production of manufactures and me chandise of any kind which administer to the necessities or comforts of men are an evil, and nothing but an evil. There is one criminal law to which I wish to call your attention. It has been in force for a number of years, and I believe there has never been a crim nal prosecution under it. Section 5067 provides, among other things, ‘It shali be the duty of the Grand Jury to in- quire into and ascertain if there exists any pool, trust ¢r combination within their respective counties.’ The same section say: ‘County attorneys, in their counties, and the Attorney Gen- eral, shall enforce the provisions of a public nature in the seven preceding sections.” Ccunty attorneys and griand juries must take the initiative in this matter. As legal advisers of the Grand Jury you can do much to bring to jus- tice any violators of the anti-trust laws. You can do your State no better service than by either demonstrating the non- existence of unlawful pcols and trusts in the State or by bringing the guilty parties to justice. I pledge you here and now that your efforts will be sec- onded by the Attorney General's office and any assistance which I can give will be most heartily given.” —_————— The sherry cobbler is one kind of a Lshoehorn. | rosco’s failure i g the divorced husband of Mrs. torke, with the authorship of the let- claiming there was a conspiracy to rive her from the city by connecting name with the letters.

HEADQUARTERS, WEL- LINGTON HOTEL, WASHINGTON, June 21.—Surgeon General Sternberg is absent from Washington, but I learn that he received communications from South America showing that the Sana- relli serum was not producing as favor- able results in yellow fever cases as its discoverer has announced. Surgeon General Wyman of the Ma- rine Hospital service to-day received a telegram from Dr. Park, the quarantine officer at Santiago, reporting the exist ence at that port of fourteen cases ou yellow fever and four deaths from that cause. This is not the first report the Marine Hospital service has received of the existence of the scourge at San- CALL Five days ago five cases were re- ported. There has not been time for & mail report since the outbreak. In ad- dition to the number of cases and deaths Dr. Park's cablegram to-day conveyed the information that the American troops had evacuated the barracks and their bedding and bag- gage were being disinfected aboard the hospital boat Rough Rider, which is fit- ted with a complete disinfecting plant. The fact that the season has advanced thus far with the appearance only of a few sporadic cases of the yellow fever ied to the general hope that the im- proved sanitary condition of Santiago, Havana and other Cuban cities since the American occupation might result in preventing an outbreak. The following bulletin was posted at the War Department: “HAVANA, June 20.—Adjutant Gen- eral, Washington: Death report, 19th, Santiago: Private David Mulhern, Company C, Fifth Infantry, died 18th, vellow fever; Private Thomas Jennings, died 19th, yellow Puerto Principe—Private Elliot Holderman, Com ¢« D, Fifth In- ry, died 19th, yellow fever; Private, J.
