NEWPORT, R. I, Aug. 25.—There was a ripple of excitement this morn- ing when it was announced at a gen- eral gathering in front of the Casino Theater that Austen Gray and Miss | Aice Burnham had been married yes- | terday at Providence and without any | member of the bride's family being |in the wedding party. It was only | on Monday that the announcement was | made that the engagement had been broken by mutual. consent. It was | said that this was done at the re- | quest of the bride’s father. |~ The fair principal in this romantic | wedding, which was practically an elopement, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William A. Burnham of Boston, and the niece, on her mother’s side, of Jokin Munroe, a-Paris banker. She was here a few weeks ago with her fiance, when they visited Mr. and Mrs. Reginald C. Vanderbilt and the Sandy | Point farm. | — . FORMER RAILROAD MAN FINDS HE HAS CONSCIENCE { 2 | Offers, Through Missionary, to Return | Money He Fraudulently Obtained From Company. ST. PAUL, Aug. 25.—A letter was received to-day at the offices of Pres- ident Elliott of the Northern Pacific ; Railway from a woman missionary in San Francisco telling of the con- | version of a man formerly a section | foreman on the Ngzthern Pacific road and his confessio to her that for several years he regularly reported | one man more than he had on his force in his payroll. When the check arrived he appropriated the amount. The missionary says the man’s con- version is so sincere that he wishes to return not only the money taken, but wishes to observe the old Mosalc law demanding one-fifth additional in the form of smart money. The letter arks that the records be gone over and the amount asce: Inspiring Scenes| | in the Conven- tion Hall. SANTA CRUZ, Aug. 2 The Repub- | | lican State Convention was opened to- day under auspicious circumstances. The . Third United States Artillery | band provided the harmony, a clergy- | man invoked the divine blessing and | the audience, standing, listened to the | singing of the “Star-Spangled Banner” and “America.” In the late Democrat- ic State Convention neither prayer mnor patriotism was thought of and music was not permitted. The enthusiasm of the Republican delegations to-day | was inspiring. The convention will finish its. work to-morrow. Three notable Congressional district conventions were held to-day. The re- nomination of J. N. Gillette in_ the First, the selection of Duncan E. Me- Kinlayto bear the Republican standard | to victory in the Second and the selec- tion of 8. C. Smith of Kern to lead the | legions of the party in the Eighth, evoked great enthusiasm. It was obvi- ous that these nominating conventions registered the will of the people. Henry T. Oxnard, Republican as- pirant for the high office of United States Scnator, seems to be the victim of blundering management. According to political gossip, Oxnard has three managers and one of the three put him in the contest to-day for Presidential | elector from the Eighth District and the outcome was defeat. Many of the politicians are throwing out the hint | that the Senatorial aspirant was Jobbed. Frank H. Flint and George A. Knight, who are here, at this time de- rive no satisfaction from the reverses of Oxnard, but each inclines to the opinion that the employment of one political campaign manager i$ a mis- take and the engagement of more than one a blunder. Oxnard is surely the vietim of incompetent political man- agement, but this will not dampen his ardor as a Republican or diminish his contributions to the campaign commit- tee.

Hayes will be nominated for Con- | e 1 HAWTHORME THUGS 158 DYNAMITE CHICAGO, Aug. 25.—By the explo- sion of some dynamite caps, and in the panic that followed it, three persons were injured this affernoon at the Hawthorne racetrack. It is supposed that the caps were thrown on the floor of the betting ring with intent to create a panic, during which the cash boxes of the bookmakers might be robbed. An attempt was made to rob one bookmaker, but it failed. The injured are: Frank Williams, left foot lacerated; . Michael Brunn, right foot lacerated; A. M. McGill, se- o+ | vere scalp wound and badly bruised in panic in the ring. The injuries of these men are not serious. b S gress in the Fifth District. There is gossip to-night that the acceptance of the nomination by Hayes will brighten the chances of Louis Oneal for return to the State Senate from Santa Clara County, as the nominee for Congress would be anxious to allay factional strife and make his own election sure. As foreshadowed by The Call to- day, the delegates intend to exercise their judgment in the selection of elec- tors, hence the organization’s slate pre- ferring Vance of Humboldt to Sweeney of Shasta in the First and West| of San Jose to Harris of Fresno in the Sixth is not acceptable, ME ELECTORAL AND CONGRESSIONAL TICKETS X3 FINDS TIER HUSBAND I PENMILES Mrs. Glen Collins Re- orets Her Hasty Marriage. —_—— She and the Captain Sep- arate and Go Their Ways Alone. | Former British Army Officer’'s Name Coupled With a Peculiar New- port Incident. | Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW. YORK, Aug. 25.—Society for some time has been discussing the af- | fairs of Captain and Mrs. Glen Col- | 1ins, the latter the daughter of Mrs. Spotswood D. Schenck. In fact, since their marriage, which took place last spring in California, stories have been “circulation that the union was un- and that the former light- hearted Nathalie Schenck was far from being happy, and, instead of marrying an officer of the British army with an income of $50,000 a year, she had be- come the wife of a man hopel debt, who being pursued creditors. According to a New York society pub- licatfonr the iatest phase of the situa- tion is that the couple separated sev- eral weeks ago in this city, shortly after their return from the Pacific Coast, and are now in Europe.

Aug. 25~—Republi- canism of the most enthusiastic kind here to-day. Every delegate seemed bent upon showing his loyalty to the Republican party in vociferous cheers whenever the names of Roosevelt and Fairbanks were mentioned, and pro- longed applause frequently interrupt- ed the proceedings when the speakers referred to matters of national impor- tance that have been fostered under the sturdy policies of the great politi- cal party. A pleasant, cool day and plenty of music, a well arranged programme and a packed convention hall were calcu- lated to inspire spirit and dash in the proceedings. . There was the usual delay in opening the meeting, but the ! ever thoughtful “Jake” Steppacher made good his promise to keep things | moving, and in the interim the Third Artillery band played national airs. The delegation from the .Thirty- eighth District of San Francisco were delayed by a slow train and appeared on the scene bag and baggage just in time to take their seats and make themselves felt on the floor in the discussions. George A. Knight of San Francisco circulated among the dele- gates and was frequently greeted with cries of “Knight, Knight, Oh, Mr. Knight.” Charles Shortridge, " with the only plug hat in the bullding, loomed up in the foreground and kept on the firing line near the press plat- form. The gallery showed a fair sprinkling of ladies, but many of them escaped during a recess on account of the heat that had became oppressive in a place so near the ceiling. The back of the hall was filled up to the wall, and every seat on the main floor was occupied by delegates. The attendance was much larger than at the Democratic convention and proved that Republicans are al- for their political services.
