Two months ago he was married to Estella Varnes, a milliner, and they have been residing temporarily at the home of the elder Taylor, while plans were maturing for their removal to a residence given them by the fulhor.

No shots were fired from the warship. The passengers on the Ethelred became greatly excited. The officers of the steamer claim that they were outside of the 3-milo limit and that they were justified in evading any attempt to detain them.
