WOMAN STARVES TO DEATH.

Sad Case Comes to Light at Providence,'the City of Charities. Providence, R. I., Dec. 30.—In this city of churches and charity Mrs. Elizabeth Ballard, aged 70, died of hunger, cold and exhaustion at 95 Elliot street last night. Tbe aged woman had property, however, but no one to look after her wants in her feebleness, her relatives being in the west, and the address of only one of them is known., •, -i

Richard Bailard, her husband, die? several days ago, and was buried Christmas day. Since the funeral the widow has denied herself of callers, but last night a neighbor tried the door, and finding it unlocked he walked in. He discovered the old lady a corpse. A note penned on Christmas day lay on the table. It was addressed to Mrs. Elizabeth N. Napier, 256 Eighth street, San Francisco, and read:

Dear Sister and Niece: I hope you are well. Richard is dead and buried. He suffered a good deal and I did too. Am all alone, without relatives, but God is good. Write soon. God bless you.

Elizabeth Ballard.

The medical examiner declared death due to natural causes, and forwarded the letter after indorsing it as follows:

The writer of this letter was dead when found. I shall bury her beside her husband. I have locked the house and will hold the property until the heirs are found.

£0V. TANNER'S BRIDE

SHE IS M3S8 CORA EDITH ENGLISH, OF SPRINOFIDXD, IIXINOIS.

The Wedding Ccranooy Was Fcrformed at Noou TMtndiy In the Presence of iv Many Distinguished Quests.

IT WAS 1 NOTABLE SOCIAL EVENT

AND TH^RE WERE MANY RARE AND COSTLY GIFTS.

Leaders of Society From Springfield and Chicago Were Present—The Groom's Splendid Gift.

Springfield, 111. Dec. 30.—In that stately old edifice, St. Paul's Pro-Cathedral, at high noon today, the H6n. John R. Tanner, governor elect of Illinois, was united in marriage to Miss Cora Edith English. It was by far the most notable society event that has taken place in this city for years, if not since the admission of Illinois to the union. Miss English has the distinction of being the first and only girl to marry an Illinois governor after his election to "ttiafexalted position.

There were people in attendance from almost every, county in the state and there were public men and their wives of national fame. First and foremost among them was General Richard J. Oglesby, three times governor and twice United States senator from Illinois Senator Shelby M. Cullom, General J. B. Hamilton, Senator John M. Palmer and General John A. McClernand. There were scores and scores of local and state officials 'and their wives, together with some of the leaders of society in Springfield, Chicago and elsewhere. A damp, cold drizzling rain was falling but more than an hour before the time for the ceremony to be performed the guests began to assemble in the venerable, moss-covered church Then there were thousands of idly curious who thronged the thoroughfare along the entire square in front of the church. They stood there silently and patiently in the bleak rain gazing intently upon the exter ior of the house of God until the organist within started up the wedding' march and then they indulged in wild shouts of joy.

When the governor-elect and his bride came out there was a mad rush.forward by the crowd in a vain endeavor to see them." A spirited pair of thoroughbreds attached to a brougham quickly whirled the bride and groom out of sight. There was no delay in the services. As the big tower clock began to toll the hour of noon, the organist touched the keys of the pipe organ to the tune of the wedding march from Lohengrin. The wedding party came in, the ceremony was performed and Miss Cora Edith English became Mrs. John R. Tanner and for the next four years she will preside at the executive mansion as the leading lady of Illinois.®'^

"7~

The bride is one of the bei.'t-known young women in central Illinois and the youngest daughter of Gurney English, the real estate dealer, of Springfield. Her family is one of the oldest in the United Statcp. Her mother was Miss Jane Pyncheon, daughter of an officer in the British army. Her grandfather, General James Turney, was one of the early circuit judges of the state. Among her near relatives are Governor Peter Turney, of Tennessee Judge W. B. Hoke, of Louisville, Ky., and Gen. Daniel McClure.

Miss Mollie Stuve was the maid of honor at the wedding, while Miss English's niece, Miss Edith Buck, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Colburn Buck, acted as flower girl. After the ceremony Governor and Mrs. Tanner started on a sWt trip to the South, and will return to Springfield in time for the inauguration.

John Riley Tanner was born on a farm three miles from Bloomfield, Ind. He serve in the Ninety-Eighth Illinois Infantry, and was mustered out as a private in October of the same year. After leaving the army, Mr. Tanner settled on a farm in Clay county, near Louisville, and on Christmas day, 1866, married Lauretta Ingrahaui, with whom he lived happily until October, 1877, when his wife died. Two children were born of this marriage, both of whom are married.

It was in 1870 Mr. Tanner first got into politics. He was elected sheriff of Clay, a Democratic county, that year on the Republican ticket, and filled the office so satisfactorily he was, in 1872, chosen as clerk of the Circuit Court. Then, in 1880, he was sentto the state senate from the Forty-fourth district. Near the end of President Arthur's

term Mr. Tanner was made United States marshal for the southern district of Illinois, and about the first thing President ^lev.6"land did after his inauguration in ,188$' 1*as to remove him. In 1886 he was ^elected

appointed by Governor Fifer a member of t.be State Board of Railway and Warehouse Commission. This office heresigned in September of the same year to accept the assistant United States trrasurership at Chicago under President Harrison. Mr. Cleveland again, relegated Mr. Tanner to private life. In 1894 Mr. Tannner was elected chairman of the Republican state committtee, and at the last election defeated John P. Altgeld for Governor.

Only a few of the personal friends and relatives were invited to the English residence to attend the wedding luncheon. Among those outside the immediate relatives were Governor and Mrs. Altgend and Ex-Governor and Mrs. R. J. Oglesby. Every room in the house and all the halls were elaborately decorated with palmfe and other tropical plants.inoAn orchestra stationed in the hallway furnished mij£ic during the reception, light operatic airs making up the programme.

Governor Tanner's gift to his bride consisted of two jewelsk of great value and unique design. The first was a hair ornament. composed of diamonds set in gold made in the shape of a fleur de lis. The other was a brooch or pendant composed of a large opal surrounded with diamonds. The value of both is about $2,000. Governor and Mrs. Tanner were compelled to begin their wedding journey without learning to what extent they are indebted to their friends for nuptial souvenirs. The abundance of these testimonials of friendship anrl good will was so great that It was absolutely impossible to unpack and display them all to the bride and groom, and they will not see them until their return from the southern trip.

INTERNATIONAL BIMETALLISM.

Republican Caucus Committee Agrees On a Meanare. Washington, Dec. 30.—The Republican caucus committee appointed to draft a measure providing for an international conference to secure tho re-establishment of bimetallism was in session for two hours today and when it adjourned had agreed upon a bill to be presented to the Republican caucus, which will be held soon after the assembling of congress next Tuesday.

The bill agreed upon is^jirief and merely confers upon the president the right to appoint delegates "to any conference which may be called which has for its object the re-establishment of bimetallism."

It does not distribute the selection of delegates as did the legi^tion. of the Fiftythird congress between the president and the two houses of congress, and moreover leaves the number to ba selected entirely to the discretion of, the president.. Senator Wolcott gave the committee a full account of his conference with Mr. McKinley, from •which he had just returned, assuring them of Mr. McKinley's hearty interest in the committee's proceedings and his earnest desire to. do all in his power to carry into execution the promise of the St. Louis convention to secure international bimetallism if possible.

It was announced after' the close of the

conference today that the committee would and after the benediction he seized his press for early consideration of its bill with the hope of securing all the legislation needed at this session, so that Mr. McKinley would take whatever steps he might deem proper to carry it into effect immediately upon entering upon his duties of president. It was intimated that he was anxious to have a conference next spring and have it under way by the time the tariff should be up for consideration. It was also stated by members of the committee that they were "very hopeful of securing a conference and also that they were "by no means hopeless as to the results" of such a conference when once secured. All members of the committee were present at the conference except Senator Hoar.

REVEALS A SCANDAL IN MEXICO.

American Prisoner Charged With Murder Tells a Sensational Story. San Diego, Cal., D^c. 30.—Americans throughout Mexico are watching with great interest, the movements of the authorities in the case of Charles A. Miller, an American citizen and resident of Cuajinicuilapan, state of Guerrero. He is in Bolin prison, City of Mexico, charged witty the murder of a Mexican engineer, Eduardo_ Zepeda, at

Ometepec, Oct. 6. Miller claimed from- the first that the local officers at Ometepec and in his own town had conspired to bring a murder charge against him and encompass his ruin and death if possible. He claims he knows the identity of the murderers and offers, if released under guard, to furnish evidence of a wholesale conspiracy in the state of Guerrero not only to do way with him, but to defraud the government out of a large amount. rj -T *1

Reputable peOpl£%f»the state nave forwarded to the government statements seting forth that Miller is all right and is the intended victim of enemies in public places. Ignacia Mariscal,' secretary of foreign affairs, has investigated Miller's case somewhat and is convinced of his innocence. He has notified the American legation to that effect. It is possible, therefore, that Miller will soon be released. In the meantime on orders from President Diaz an investigation
