FAILURE OF MAILS TO BRING LETTERS CAUSED EACH TO THINK THE OTHER UNTRUEWED AMID OLD DECORATIONS. Jasonville, Ind.v June 27. A. wedding which took place near here today, and which was within itself a very unique affair, brought to an end one of the most remarkable romances of this vicinity. Although there were originally several persons concerned in the ' chain of strange circumstances, which began 10 years ago, James B. Walterman and Miss Emma Mayburn, the 1 united parties, are the only characters left in the dramaTen years ago these two people were engaged to be married, and the date of ; the marriage had been decided upon. ;The bride elect was the only child of well-to-do people and Walterman had 'Just completed a law education and t was preparing to enter the practice of ' his chosen profession. The day of the wedding drew near, and invitations were sent out to i friends of the young people. The little parlor at the home of the bride, where the wedding was to take place, i was decorated for the occasion. The ' day before the wedding was to take place Walterman received a telegram that an uncle of considerable means

was. dying in New York and as he had named his nephew as the heir, the presence of the young man was required ' at his bedside. He wished to be mar-( ried before starting on the journey, but his fiancee and her parents decided it would be best for him to go to New York and have the wedding take place when he returned. Those who had been invited to the wedding, were notified of the postponement and the ; young man set out on his journey to i New York. On arriving thereafter his uncle's ; death, he learned from his attorneys that the estate consisted of a coffee plantation in Brazil, where the uncle had been a planter and was at the time of his death only, temporarily re- ' aiding in New York. He further learn- ' ed that conditions demanded his pres- ', ence in Brazil. Walterman telegraphed his fiancee's parents, requesting that she be allowed to join him in New York, where,, they would be married and go to Brazil together. This did not meet the approval of the parents, and they decided that as the engaged pair were young, there' ,was no need of hurrying the wedding, i and that it could take place after the i young man returned from Brazil, k where, as had been stated in the telegram, he did not think he would be de- , t&ined more than six months. Reaching Brazil, Walterman wrote to Miss Mayburn and her parents, but k received no answer. He found that , more time than he had at first believed would be required to get the business shaped up, and, thinking that the first letter had probably been lost, he , wrote another stating that he could not return as soon as he had told them. To this he received no answer, and wrote many letters, but did not get a reply. He concluded that the young woman wished to break off the engagement. The coffee plantation offered rare op- ' portunities for making money and he . remained in Brazil and gave it his at- ' tent ion. In the meantime Miss Mayburn and her parents anxiously awaited the letter which Walterman had promised to send, but it failed to arrive. None of the letters ever reached their destination. They finally decided that the young man had proved false to Miss Mayburn. and she was heartbroken through thi3 belief. At her request the room which had been decorated for the wedding was closed and never entered by nay of them. Thing3 ran along in his manner for about five -years, when the young woman's parents died within a few months of each other, and since that time she has lived all alone in the old house. She had many suitors, as she was a very popular young woman, but gave no attention to any of them. After almost lO years had passed Walterman, who had acquired a fortune from the coffee plantation, and T'ho also had remained single, decided to sell out and come back to the United States and to Indiana, He arrived here a few days ago, and not until then did he know that his former fiance had remained true to him. It required but a short time for the two to come to on understanding, and the date of their wedding was set for daylight this morning. A number of guests were Invited, and the old room, which was decorated 10 years ago, was for the first time during that period thrown open. Most of the old friends have during those years either died or moved away, and there were only two of those who had been invited to the wedding 10 years ago who witnessed the ceremony, which took place amid the dust-covered decorations arranged so long ago.

EMPEROR FRANCIS JOSEPH SENT CONGRATULATORY MESSAGE AND PRESENT OF MONEY TO AGED COUPLE AT ISOMBOLG.

Berlin, June 27. Wedded in 1808 and bride and bridegroom still alive! This, the most remarkable married couple in all the world, have just celebrated their hundredth matrimonial anniversary in the village of Isombolg, Hungary. The Emperor Francis Joseph sent a congratulatory message and a present of money, which was handed out to husband and wife by the local officials, and many other presents have poured in from persons Interested in the couple. The long-wedded couple are named Szarthmari. The village record still contains authentic entries relating to their births and marriage. The husband was born March 2, 1788, and the wife Feb. 12, 17!2. Their marriage took place at the village church in March, 18;8. Szarthmari's father had been a farmer living on his own land and Szarthmari inherited th e family property, and tilled it as his ancestors had done before him. His wife, who was also the daughter of a farmer, assisted him in his work, churned butter, baked bread, and fed the poultry. Szarthmari lived and worked as a farmer until he retired at the age of ninety, when he handed over the management of the farm to one of his grandsons. When he reached his hundredth birthday, twenty years ago, several residents of Isomnolg appealed to Emperor Francis Joseph to grant the old man a pension Tor the remainder of his life in order that he should be rendered independent of his relatives and descendants, such dependence being repulsive to him. The emperor sent an agent to Isombolg to examine the official registers and find out whether Szarthmari was really as old as was stated. The records being verified, the emperor granted Szathmari an annual pension of $.'00. Four years later, when Mrs. Szarthmari reached her hundredth birthday, she, too, was granted a pension of $100 per annum. Until recently old Szarthmari used to delight visitors by relating stories of his childhood, when the world looked so different from its present appearance. In his childhood, Hungary waa an inaccessible country, emerging from the semi-barbarism of the middle ages, and serfdom was not abolished around his home until 1S48, when he was sixtyyears of age. The first child was born in 1800, and the first grandchild in 18,50. Two sons are still living, one being ninety-five and the other ninety-two years of age. Ten other children are "dead. Altogether the aged couple have had more than eighty grandchildren, more than 400 great-grandchildren, and more than 1,00, great-great-great-grand-children, and one great-great-great-great-grandchild alive. Their descendants have gone forth from the remote village into all parts of the world. Great-grandchildren and younger descendants are living in various parts of America, including Cleveland, Cincinnati, St. Louis. San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Milwaukee and Louisville. Other descendants are in Australia, but the majority have continued to live in Hungary. Neither Szarthmari nor his wife has ever been far away from their home at Isombolg, .which has a population of 1.200 people. Neither of them has ever set foot in a city. The extent of their travels has been a distance of forty or fifty miles in the surrounding agricultural country. The aged couple now live in a fourroomed cottage and two of their great-great-grandchildren live with them and watch over their needs. Szarthmari is deaf and almost blind, but otherwise comparatively hale and hearty. He wears the old-time Hungarian national costume, consisting of a long coat which reaches the knees, a motley waistcoat of many colors, an embroidered belt, knee breeches and woolen stockings. He can walk about alone, supporting himself with a stout stick. He drinks three or four glasses of heavy Hungarian wine every day, and smokes his pipe almost incessantly from morning till night. His wife is also deaf, but otherwise she is in good health. Both of them enjoy a hearty meal, and both delight to see their descendants around them. ORIENTAL LABORERS FORJICARAGUA Chinese and Japanese Immigrants Will Be Brought to Central America. Mexico City, June 27. The Xlcaraguan government has given a five year concession to a Mexican, granting the right to introduce Chinese and Japanese immigrants into Nicaragua for employment as laborers in connection with plantations and other industries in the country.

EUROPE PROPOSES AN OCEAN OBSERVATORY Would Have Ships Equipped And Send Reports to Continent by Wireless. Paris, June 27. Ocean observatories connected to the continents, have been suggested as a need in forecasting European weather, but a more economical plan Is proposed by M. Bigourdan, a French meteorologist., who would have regular weather reports furnished by steamships equipped with wireless telegraph apparatus. How essential are the observations at sea is seen from the fact that weather changes are generally associated with the passage of atmospheric depressions from the westward in ;the Atlantic north of 35 degrees north latitude. About half of these depressions seem to come from North America, and the other form in the open ocean. Wireless weather reports are already made, by British naval vessels.
