SEARCH FOKVANDYKE. Memphis Real Estate Dealer Wanted on a Charge of Bigamy, VICTIMS OF HIS PERFIDY. Wife and Three Children Sent Baek to Ohio Relative* aa a Hatter of Economy, While He Woe* and Wed* a Respectable Olrl of Surpassing Beauty—How the Kxpoee Came About. Memphis, Oct. 23.—The police are scouring the city of Memphis to capture George W. Vandyke, a real estate dealer wanted on a charge of bigamy, as the result of which a Memphis girl of surpassing beauty finds herself betrayed and an Ohio woman, a member of one of the best American families and the mother of three children, mourns a recreant husband. Twelve years ago Vandyke married Miss Augusta Schenck at Franklin, O. She is a niece of Robert F. Schenck, ex-United States minister to England and Commodore Schenck of the United States navy. Three children are th6 fruit of the union. They came to Memphis four years ago and lived together until last summer, when his affairs became much embarrassed and he sent his wife and children back to Franklin us a matter of economy. Then he fell in with Miss Josie Milazzi, who was employed in the Central telephone exchange and who possesses remarkable beauty of the Italian type. She is an eminently respectable young woman. She did not know Vandyke was married. Six weeks ago she went to visit relatives at Brownsville, Tenn. Vandyke followed her there and they agreed to be married. A Roman Catholic priest was called in, but declined to perform the ceremony. Then a Baptist minister was sent for and tied the knot. Vandyke did not remain with his new wife at Brownsville, but returned to Memphis. Last Saturday wife No. 2 came to this city without his knowledge. A notice of the wedding had already been published in the Brownsville local papers. Miss Milazzi’s relatives urged her to have this republished in a Memphis paper. She did this on Sunday,’ unknown to her supposed husband. Vandyke’s first wife has a couple of stalwart brothers, and from this report they first learned of the second ceremony. They at once came to Memphis and took steps to securp personal and legal reprisal and they are scouring the city for him, swearing vengeance. The police are guarding the railway stations to prevent Vandyke’s escape, if it has not been accomplished already. -AT WAR WITH THE MAYOR. City Council of Toledo Denounces the Chief Executive’s Doings. Toledo, Oct. 23.—A sensation was created at a meeting of the city council last evening by the presentation and unanimous adoption by the lower board of the city government of a resolution arraigning Mayor Guy G. Majors for alleged violation of authority in connection with the system of bookkeeping put into the municipal departments some time ago by the Safeguard Accountant companvof Chicago. The alleged violation of authority con--sists in the action of the mayor in appointing to the office of city accountant James W. CaldWell, Perry Crippen and W. O. Curtiss, successively, all of whom are alleged to have been incompetent, and in the approval by the mayor of a claim of $3,177 of the Safeguard company, which claim the council rejected as “boldly illegal and extortionate.’’ Many members of the council consider the affair as the first step toward impeaching the mayor.

TO PROW HIS LIFB.| That Is the Struggle of the Czar’s Physicians. HIS CONDITION UNCHANGED. Wild Rumor*, Even to an Announcement of the Death of the Ruler of All Rua- i •la, Circulated In Bt. Petersburg—ExMinister Smith Yell* Interesting Thing* About Alexander 111. St. Petersburg, Oct. 22.—The dearth ' of news from Livadia has occasioned | the wildest rumors to circulate, one to the effect that the czar was actually j dead, but that the fact was concealed - because the czarewitch had renounced I the succession to the throne, was started Saturday night, and another was that Grand Duke George, the czar’s second son, had also died from the lung trouble from which he has long been a sufferer. . These rumors were effectually silenced by the issuing of a bulletin at night, ; stating in substance that the czar had been out of his bed during the day, but that his general condition was un- , changed. Sunday, however, the rumors were revived in an intensified form. Sabbath leisure and the gathering of unusually large congregations, attracted by the special prayers for the czar, assisting in the growth of idle rumor and speculation. It is everywhere recognized that the doctors in attendance upon the czar have no hope of his recovery, and that they are only devoting their efforts to prolong his majesty’s life until the arrival of Princess Alix at Yalta, so that her marriage to the czarewitch may be celebrated before his death. “God Protect the Czar.” It is asserted that the physicians have now been compelled to turn their attentions to the czarina, whose mind is said to have been seriously affected by the strain of nursing her husband and anxiety concerning Grand Duke George. The city bears its usual aspect, only the eager and excited discussions in all the public resorts indicates the gravity of impending evils. The special services in all the churches yesterday were well attended. The reverence displayed and the sincerity of the prayers offered showed how deeply the public mind is affected. - In the theaters, both here and at Moscow, during the past few days there have been numerous instances, during the intervals between the acts, of the audience calling upon the orchestra to play the national hymn, "God Protect the Czar,” to which the people would listen standing. The latest official bulletin from Li vadia says: During the past 24 hours the emperor has bad rather more sleep. His majesty arose today as usual, and his appetite is rather better. The patient, is more com posed. Otherwise there is'no change May. Live Some Time. It is. quite in accordance -with the usual course of the czar’s malady that, as stated in private telegrams, he should still be able to rise and dress at his usual hour. Suddenly a spasm, accompanied by difficulty in breathing, attacks him and the nervous crisis is at tended by sharp muscular pains, which cause great agony and extort gries of anguish. But there are days when these distressing symptoms are entirely absent, and the imperial patient regains his normal condition ami even his normal spirits. The night time is the most dreaded, as sleep can only be obtained by ever increasing injections of morphia. In spite of the latest bulletins, there is reason to be lieve that the czar’s life may be prolonged by careful nursing for weeks or months. The end generally comes after a period of collapse and unconsciousness, which may last several days. ESTIMATE OF THE CZAR. Fx-Minister Smith Talks Interestingly of the Dying 'Ruler. Philadelphia, Oct. 22—Ex-Minister Charles Emory Smith, who during the time he represented the United States at St. Petersburg had ample opportunity to observe tlib personal and political characteristics of the czar, talked interestingly as to the effect the death of the czar would have on the Russian empire Mr. Smith said: “The impending death of the czar would, in my opinion, be a serious misfortune for Russia and for Europe. It is not probable that there will be any marked change in Hie conservative attitude of the imperial government. The peace policy of the present reign has been so wise, prudent and firm that it is likely to be followed. But in the nature of the case, with a new and untried sovereign there must be solicitude until the lines are settled. As to Russia internally," the present emperor has given her tranquility and Stability. There is little discontent, no agitation, and general devotion to the crown on the part of all classes. Unexpected change necessarily breeds anxiety, but. it finds a loyal public temper, and with wise counsels it will be easy to move forward without, disturbance. ’“Alexander 111 has been an upright and earnest ruler. Less commanding than Nicholas, less liberal than Alexander 11, he lias been well balanced. His personal qualities have inspired devotion at home and confidence abroad. He has been sincere, steadfast, conscientious and straightforward. He has shared the reactionary tendency which followed the assassination of his father, and which has been unfortunate in some of its developments, but with his firm policy he has united a strong sense Os justice. During the famine of 1801 and 1893 some extreme socialistic articles imputed to Count Tolstoi found their way into print. Tolstoi was engaged in relief work and some of the ministers of the empire thought it. unwise to let him go about, among the peasants preaching his revolutionary ideas, anil they advised tiiathe be placed under house arrest. This action was generally expected. “An English friend of mine, just at that time, visited for some days at

Tolstoi’s home. Whenever the clatter of hoofs was heard on the road it was supposed to be the squad of soldiers to make the arrest. As a matter of fact, the emperor refused to accept, the advice to place restrictions upon Tolstoi, saying that while his doctrines were wrong he was doing a good and humane work and must not be interrupted in. it. "No one could see anything of the pure and beautiful domestic life of the emperor or of his laborious devotion to the responsibilities of the crown, or of his manifest desire to promote the welfare of his people, without great respect for him. He has been a Russian of Russians in his feeling and has aimed to develop the national spirit of his people. But he has joined with this national sentiment a deep personal sense of right and duty.” AWFUL EXPLOSION. Three Men Killed and a* Many More Terribly Injured Near Joliet, Ill*. Joliet, Ills., Oct. 22.—One of the most disastrous explosions that has 'occurred on the drainage canal was early Sunday morning, when three men were killed outright and three more seriously injured.
