"Why Kobert Mackie Deserted His Expectant Bride at the Last Moment. Fpeelsl to the Indianapolis Journal . Ft. Wayne, Ind.. Sept. Ik The mystery of the Kobert Mackie disappearance has been entirely cleared up, and the disgrace ful rovelations will be a sad blow to tho' bride-to-have-been, at Cooperstown, and to the relatives of Mackie, who aro prominent people in Maryland. Mrs. Frank Falker, of this city, the young wife of a wellknown business man, and former city marshal, with whom Mackie had been carrying on a secret liaison, followed her paramour on his trip Last, arranged a meeting last Monday, by telegraph, at Albany, and thence the guilty pair lied to Montreal. It is said they aro now on their way to Europe. The affair has caused a great sen sation in this city. The mother of tho woman, who is prostrated with grief and likelv to die, and tho wronged husband. have the sympathy of the community. It appears that Mackie went to Cooperstown with the honest intention to marry Miss Steere, but when Mrs. Falker followed him. his infatuation for the woman proved stronger than the duty he owed his hancee, and the elopement was the result. Mr. Mackie, should he return here, will not bo allowed to resume his position as superintendent with the Electric-light Company. 1i Seven Indians Drovrned. Portland, Ore., Sent. 10.

That night the wind increased in velocity, and on the following day only two of the canoes were discernible. By this time the whalo was dead and the surviving canoes towed it to land. In the evening the Indians of the surrounding country assembled and a dance was held. The ceremonies opened with incantations over the eyes of tho whale, after which the skin of the animal was passed 0 around to be eaten by the guests raw, being considered by them a rare titbit. After this liquor was brought forth and the howling andmouruingover the lost Indians was plainly heard above the booming of the surf. Mistaken for Moose and Killed. Halifax, N. S., Sept. 1G.

Curious Developments Coming to Light In the Doherty Assignment at Crawfordsville. EjkhtUI to the IiuliaaapoUs Journal. Crawfohdsville, Sept. 10, About three weeks ago the carriage-works of Marsh Doherty made an assignment for the bene fit of his creditors. It was thought all the time until then that the works belonged to Fisher Doherty &. Sons, but when this trouble reached the climax the whole thing was thrown upon Marsh Doherty. As things did not seem to be just right an investigation was begun by the creditors. It was found tha Doherty had been selling bnggies for almost any price, but just where tho money weut was not apparent. Tho buggies were bought at Cincinnati and elsewhere, and brought here and sold; also, 6ome of the buggies were shipped to Illinois, where they were sold by Mat Doherty, a brother of Marsh. Finally, G. W. Paul and a Mr. Page, of Peoria, 111., went out to Kansas, and found that Mrs. Marsh Doherty had purchased a farm near Kansas City. Paul secured a mortgage on a farm near Joplin, Mo., and an order on Mat Doherty lor 1,000. Marsh Doherty was at Kansas City when Paul cot there. Last Saturday the court ordered an in vestigation. Mat Doherty testified that on the day before the assignment was made tho sum of 810.200 had been sent to O. T. Street, Kansas City, wrapped in a horso blanket, and placed in a box. which was shipped by f reiRht. He also refused to pav Paul and Page the order they had for $1,000 from Marsh Doherty, even when Paul threatened to shoot him if he did not. Marsh Doherty was suddenly taken ill, and conld not attend court, and the investigation is at a stand-still. Rich developments are expected.

The ISurned Exhibits at St. Joseph, Mo.

St. Joseph, Mo., Sept. 16,-Tho Nv Era exposition which was destroyed last night caught tire just after tho close of the evening concert by Bach's orchestra, and the buildings and grounds were still thronged with visitors. During the progress of the lire and while it was yet possible to enter tho main building with safety, Broncho Jo organized his band of Apache Indians, which was one of the exposition's attractions, and leading them into the blazing hall directed them to save what they could of the contents. The carriage used by Gen. Lafayette on his visit to America was on exhibition and tho Indians carried it from the hall. They attempted to make another sally into the building, but the heat was too intense. The carriage was the only thing saved. The loss on the art hall and its contents, consisting of exhibits of art, by local talent principally, . amounts to about .000. The main hal 1 cost $75,000 in construction, and the contents, consistingof exhibits of all kinds, were valued at a similar figure. The largest individual losses were suffered b3' the Studebakers, whose exhibit of carriages was valued at $12,000, and the Huvett Piano Company, whose dsplay of pianos was valued at $7,500. The cylindrical steel car, "The City of St Joseph," manufactured by the Steel Car Company of St. Joseph, at a cost of $40,000, was also destroyed. The total loss is diflicnlt to estimate on account of the varied naturo of the exhibits, but the iiguro is placed at $250,000. The fire is supposed to have originated from an imperfectly insulated electric-light wire. Captain Foster, of this city, who had charge of the cereal exhibition, had a sleeping-room in the attic of the art hall. He retired early last night. No one thought to waken him when the lire started, and he was burned to death. His charred remains were found in the ruins this afternoon. Panic In a Dry Goods Store. Peoria, 111., Sept. 16.

The Contention Kept Up Largely for the Benefit of the Democratic Party, glacial to the Indianapolis Journal. Brazil, Ind., Sept. 16. The following is tho exact wording of a resolution passed by the miners' executive committee, and furnished by the secretary to the local Democratic press: Resolved, That all companies bo allowed to work that will pay last year's prices, viz., 85 and DO cents per ton, with scale on low coal; but no day men shall be allowed to work at any price until a settlement with all men in the employ of Buch company is made. Perhaps two or three smaller mines, whose output is consumed principally, if not wholly, at home, will start up on this kind permission. Tho number of blacklegs, meanwhile, is increasing, also the number of those seeking greener fields and pastures new. " H The political feature of this strike has been uppermost from the start. Possibly the miners did not connive at the political advantage or disadvantage in their negotiations with tho operators, but political tricksters and demagogues have, all along, encouraged and fostered the strike in order to make it tell against President Harrison's administration. . Twice a week, for three months, the miners' secretary acknowledged contributions to the relief fund in the Democratic press alone. The editor of one of these papers, in a letter to tho Terre Haute Gazette, says: Tbe relief fund is coming in liberally and there is no cause for discouragement in the tight ajrainst the locking-out and starvlns-in prograunue. Hundreds who voted tho Kepublicnii ticket last falluuder the honeyed promise of the g. o. r are thoroughly disiruated. It bas been completely demonstrated to them that protection is a fraud. An election to-day would result in seven hundred Democratic majority in Clay county. Thus speaks the press with which the executive committee alliliates. This committee, by the way, has denounced everybody and everything but such language and its authors. Clgar-Maken International Union, ft New York, Sept 10.

New York, Sept. m Tho trial of Henry S. ,Ives was resumed in General Sessions Court, this morning, before Recorder Smythe. Ives was early in his place, and showed no signs of discomfiture because of the recent developments and publications in the past few days. After a brief examination of assignee Cromwell, who was appointed when the firm of II. S. Ives JL Co. failed on Aug. 11, 1S87, the important.witness for the prosecution, confidential secretary to Ives, and later secretary of the C, II. & D. railroad, was called to the witness stand. Ives's face was a study when Woodruff was called. His face Unshed nercpntibly, but he made no other sign. "Woodruff is a young man with an unprepossessing face. He stated, that he had first becomo acquainted with Ives eight years ago, bolh being employed as clerks in an advertising agency. After that the witness went into the fire insurance bnsiness. and on the 1st of February, 18SC, after being Tvcs's partner, chanced his relations and became confidential clerk. Mr. Parker asked abont that time what he had seen or heard concerniug Ives's inception of the C, H. & D. scheme. Woodrutt'said: T went into what we called tho back offico and looked over a supplement of a financial paper, containing a map of the C, H. & D, road. I heard Mr. Ives remark to Mr. Sta3'non It will be a very nice thing if we can get control of that road.' " " Tho witness went to Cincinnati in June, 1880, in response to a telegram from Ives. This was the day before the election. After the election ho came back to New York. When near this city, Ives wanted Woodruft to go over to Brooklyn and take breakfast with Stnynor. After breakfast Woodrulf was asked to step up stairs. In a room on the third floor Ives told him to make ou6 two thousand shares in tho name of Thomas Moore, which he did. Five mom certificates were made out in two hundred shares each. Staynor objected to this method. He said the blocks were too high. This was on Juno 21. 'Did you ever receive any certificates for cancellation from Mr. Ivi f" "1 received 2,300 shares about March 1." "When you made out the shares from C507 to C555. what did Mr. Staynor do!" 'IIe signed them. The shares were ruado out to Thomas Moore- Kobert 1J. Smith. Charles H. Graham, Henry S. Ogden. They were all clerks in the employ of Ives cS& Co." On further examination tho witness said that Ives told him (Woodruff) that hi owed Zimmerman $100,000, and that collaterals for that amount had been demanded. He ordered Woodrult to make out 1,000shares of stock of the railroad and deliver them, which he did. The company's otlico in New York was opened on June 20. at 0i5 Broadway. The stock ledger which the witness used had been destroyed by him some day before Aug. 11, 18S7, by order of Ives. Woodruff was then asked what Ives said. Witness replied: "Something to the etl'ect that tbe book must be destroyed; that if it fell into outside hands the pressure would be apparent. I was told to take the book to No.U)6 Jerolomen 6trect, Brooklyn, Mr. Ives's house, and burn it in tho furnace. ll i fll T ft - Here a little incident occurred. The dis trict attorney then asked the witness a Question about entries in his stock lcdirer. The witness said that he kept entries of all these transactions in a small book. Theso represented a complete and accurate record ot tne issue of stocks. Ives knew about . this book and had access to it. He also made entries in it himself. Tho official J transfer book was begun April 1, 1S87. The other book was taken to Newark, where it ! remained until March of the present year, when he sent for it. This was after his arrest on the same .indictment as Ives. Tho entries which recorded the fraudulent sixty certificates were read to the jury, after be ing identified by the witness. Alter recess the witness stated that in answer to inquiries regarding the methods used by Ives tho latter told tho witness that as tho company controlled tho majority of the stock everything was necessarily all right. The witness furthermore stated that 2,iXX) shares were subsequently handed him by ives tor the purpose of canceling tho old stock, which ho did. Twenty of thoso certificates alleged to have replaced the old issue wero identified by Woodruff. Theso were not recorded Cccause there wan less stock available for cancellation than would suffice to counterbalance the over-issue. The witness said that Ives had told him to take the unauthorized stock and wipe it out altogether. At a meeting of the stockholders held in this city on Feb. 25, 1S87, at which the witness acted as secretary, he made minutes wherein tho directors authorized the purchase of tho balance of tho stock, 1,4'jO shares at KXJ. Woodruff stated that only four shares of the unauthorized stock remained out to date. These four were burned by lvcs'a direction. The witness testified that tho registration of stock first began about Aug. 25, 1SNS. Woodruff then told how he and Ives, or.e night, copied off, with the aid of tho 6tock transfer book, the names, and created a new set of certificates, purporting to be tho ones remaining out, aud showed them to Mr. Burns, tho bank official, as the outstanding certificates. Mr. Lang try IlvorceL New York. Sept. ig. Mrs. Langtry lias secured a divorce. Although strenuous efforts havo been made to keep the matter a secret, cables which were received from London to-day left no" reasonable doubt that the irksome ties that bound tho Lily to a husband she had long ceased to care for have been severed. It had been the desire and the intention of Mr. Oehhardt to accompany Mrs. Langtry ou her voyage, and ho had inado all his preparations lor the trip. Mrs. Langtry was equally pleased it tho prospect of having h r wealthy Miitor ii her train, but a judicious advisor of tho Lily is said to have stepped in and counseled her upon tho unadvisability of tlm step. Mr. (.ebhardt changed his plans and the Lily sailed alone. Since her arrival in London it is said that she has been very quiet indeed. During the Lily's absenca Freddie has made hi home at Mrs. Langtry's house in this city. Mr. Krnest Andra Jnrgens, who is a warm friend of Mrs. Langtry. said: ....... T have no doubt that she has secured a divorce. Sho deserves it, as L&imtry has not treated her riht. "Were the fact known thero is nobody who would say that Mrs. Langtry is not eutitled to tho separation. 1 believe that her marriage to Mr. Gebhaidt will take place just as soon as it can be arranged."
