1HREATS OF SUICIDE UNFULFILLED
Frank E. Hill, who was arrested recently
in Los Angeles, CaL, on a charge of big
amy, was a lormer resident of Somerset,Pa.,
and is remembered in connection with an
elopement scandal that occurred at the lat
ter place several years ago. It is stated
that Hill there married a young lady named
Woods, who had been left a large amount
of money. Hill at that time was one of the
lively young men about town. He was
young and good looking, and it was an open
secret that he married Miss Woods for her
money. After the inarriare he neglected
his wife, and she fell in with a young law
yer named Marchand, with whom she
eloped. The couple were arrested by De
tective O'Mara at Jacksonville, Flo,, and
were brought back.
Hill threatened a suit, but his wife paid
him $10,000 U cash and purchased a drug
store for him ou condition that he would
not oppoe a separation. The separation
was obtained, and Hill lived a gay life in
Pittsburg until his money wa gone, when
he went to Scottdale and reiided with his
mother. Later on he disappeared from
view here, and now he has turned up in
California.
A special to The Dispatch from Los J
Angeles says:
Identified by One of His Wires.
Frank H Hill, who was arrested on a tel
egram charging him with bigamy, from ihe
Sherifl of San Bernardino county, early
yesterday morning was brought face to face
with Deputy SheriffBrown, of the above
mentioned county, who came after him in
the dual capacity of uncle of Hill's latest
prospective bride and an officer of the law.
The mcetinc took place in the office of the
Chief of Police, and when Hill was taken
into the office Brown said to him:
"Frank, you swore by all the saints to
me that you are not a married man. Is that
true?" "I am not married," responded
Hill. "It I am, produce my wife." "Come
in, Mrs. Hill," saH Deputy Brown, open
ing the door ieading to the chiefs private
office. A i oung lady, dressed in a tasty,
gray traveling suit, of medium stature,
pretty face, dark-brown hair and large blue
eyes,"in -which tears were standing, stepped
into the room. "I am this man's wife," she
said, pointing to Hill, "and he dare not
deny it."
Hill turned pale, an-1 with his features
working convulsively, glared 3t the woman
tor a nicmci:, and thea said: "I irive in;
she's mv wife."
Frank E. Hill went to San Bernardino
tome three months ago and Fe.-ured employ
ment in Dr. Bedford's drugstore. He
claimed to be the son of the famous Judge
Hill, of Somerset, Pj. He was diligent and
attentive to his duties, and being a young
man of fine presence and engaging manners
he was soon a favorite in social circles. He
formed the acquaintance of Miss Mary
Louise WVzencratt, a most estimable young
lady of rrear personal beauty, the daughter
of the tiel"l Dr. "Wozencraft. The acquaint
ance rijwT.e.1 into friendship and friendship
clecpene-3 into love. They were betrothed
and the wedding day set for January
1. As the time drew near the
friends of the bride made elaborate
preparations for the wedding; cards were
issued to numbers of friends lor the Wozen
craft family number their friends by the
hundreds "in the San Bernardino Valley.
The wedding breakfast was to be a notable
pvent, a triumph of hospitality and good
cheer in old-fashioned San Bernardino style,
and the fatted calf was killed. The invita
tions were printed on delicate cream-tinted
paper, witli the monogram of the bride and
groom deftly worked in artistic characters.
On the cover was inscribed the .following:
"WcdiHn? breakfast, Frank E. Hill Mary
L. Wozencraft, San Bernardino, Cal., 10.
A. JL, Januarv 1. 1892." Inside the cover
was the breakfast menu, printed on cream
colored satin, but ot the day previous to
the wedding there wjs a :toriiy interview
between the couple, which, ended in Hill's
leaving San Bernardino.
Betrayed by His Wedding Card.
"Yes,sir,"saidMrs. Hill to the detective,
"lam the wife f Frank E, Hill, I am sorry
to say. I did not know that he contemplated
bigamy until Tew Year's Dav. On that
day my husband came don n to San Diego,
where I was stopping, and after spending a
text hours with me he took the" train for
San Bernardino. After his departure I
looked in the pockets of a coat which he left
behind and was horrified at finding his wed
ding cards engraved on elegantly embossed
paper. I also found a singular letter from
Frank, which read as follows:
Mr DgAtt Wife If any one comes to you
to find out whether we are married or not,
say no, for if you do say that wo are married,
or admit It in any way, It will place me be
hind tho bars. Feakk.
"When I found this letter and the wed
ding cards I took the first train for San Ber
nardino, arriving there on Sunday, and
went at once to see Dr. Bedford. I told
him I was Frank E. Hill's wife and he was
astonished. He at once sent for Deputy
Sheriff Brown, to whom I told my story,
and he went and tcid it to Miss Mary Wozen
craft, the young lady whom my hnsbaud
wanted to marry. The young lady asked to
see me, and I went to her home and spent
Sunday afternoon with her, and while of
course'ehe was deeply afiectcd as she showed
me her wedding dress, she finally com
lorted herself with the thought that she es
caped a terrible fate. She is a beautiful
girl, and I am truly sorry for her. She felt
worse about it than I did, for Frank had
.turned my love to hate by his demeanor to
ward me."
Married Tor but One Short Tear.
"When was you married to Hill?" was
asked. "I was married one year ago this
month. Here is a copy of my wedding cer
tificate. The certificate read as follows:
Frank E. Hill and Ada E. Wilton .Were
united in holy matrimony, according to the
ordinances of God and tho law s of the State
of Washington, at Fairhaven. ttie25th day of
January, 189L W. A. Macket,
Minister of the Gospel.
"Rev. Mr. Mackey Is the Presbyterian
minister at Fairhaven, and I have only got
acopyof.the wedding certificate lor the
reason that two months after our marriage
my husband quarreled with me, and snatch
ing up our marriage certificate, tore it into
fragments."
"How long did yoa know Hill before
marrying him?" "I knew him six months
prior to the marriage. I left my home in
Albany. IT. Y., about 18 months ago and
joined my brother in Seattle. I came on to
keep house for him. We went to Fair
haven and there I met Frank E. Hill, who
was working in Stewart's drug store. I
told my brother that Frank was
paying attention to me, and when I
told him we were engaged to be married
he bitterly opposed the match. Before we
were married I wrote to Frank's sister and
asked if he was married, and she wrote me
that he was not, and that she was glad to
know he was going to settle down. We re
mained in Fairhaven for six months, Frank J
getting a salary of $80 per month as a drne
clerk, white I was earning money sewing.
"We put our money together and accumu
lated about 51, 000. Frank then became dis
satisfied with Fairhaven and went down to
San Diego. He did not get work there, so
I got a place as seamstress and earned
enough to support us. Through the friend
ship of a wholesale druggist Frank finally
got a position with Dr. Bedford at Sail
Bernardino.
He Threatened to Commit Suicide.
"He has been down to seejne at San
Diego and has always told me that he was
dissatisfied with 'the place, and that we
would soon go to Illinois or some other
Eastern State, where he could invest the
$1,000 we had saved in the drugstore. Since
I have found what he has been doing at San
Bernardino I have decided to get a divorce
from him as soon as possible. I understand
that Frank savs that he burned up SC00 of
our money at the Westminster Hotel before
he w as arrested and said he was going to
commit suicide. I have lost all affection
for him, bemuse for a long time he has not
treated me right."
A reporter went to the police station to
see Hill a short time before his departure
for San Bernardino. He found the prisoner
sitting at a table with his head buried in his
hands, crying.
"I have very little to say," he said with a
sob. "I have done wrong and I know it, hut
as God is my judge, there is no other woman
tnan the woman here who nas a right to call
me husband. I will do nothing for
her, because she has not treated me
right. 1 have nothing to say re
garding my conduct toward " Miss
Wozencraft. Sonic weeks ago, one even
ing when she came to see me in Dr. Bed
ford's drugstore, I suddenly told her I was
married. She stared at me blankly for a
minute and fell down in a dead faint. I
took her in the private office and restored
her to consciousness. She became wildly,
hysterical, and in order to restore her men
tal equilibrium,: told her that I had merely
been jesting snd was not married. Would
to God that I had not weakened then, but
had stuck to the truth. It would have
saved me all this bitter sorrow."
A telegram from San Jose, Cal., states
that Hill was married a couple of years ago
to a Miss Wyatt, of San Jose, CaLand it is
on the basis of this marriage that the prose
cution for bigamy is taken.
SO I0NGEB IN POLITICS.
George Pearson Saya Offlrcholdlng Doesn't
Fay, and He Has Quit for Good.
George Pearson, of Mercer, and Colonel
Willis J. Hulings, of Oil City, sat in the
lobby of the Monongahela House yesterday
afternoon talking over old times. Since
Mr. Pearson went out of office as private
secretary to Governor Beaver he has let
politics alone, and says he has made up his
mind never to enter the political arena
again. Politics, he added, docs not pay,and
if a man devotes his energy to some legiti
mate business he will be better off Mr.
Pearson thinks if Blaine is not nominated
Harrison will be the Republican candidate.
He will take no interest in the Presidentai
fight except to vote for thejiominee.
"I remember," said Mr. Pearson, "I was
here in this hotel about four years ago.
Harrison came in from Indianapolis to at
tend the Americus Club banquet. He wore
an old hat on the back of his head and a
hand-me-down overcoat. He slouched up
to the counter, as only Governor Davies and
he can slouch, to register his name. There
wasn't a man to receive him, but things
have changed. That reminds me of a story
told about ex-President Hayes. Shortly
after he retired from office he went to Phil
adelphia to attend a celebration of some
kind. Only one man spoke to him, and he
was the guardian of the park. He told him
to keep off the grass."

YIOTORFA WOODHULL
Is About to Explain Her Pet Theories
to the French Citizens.
LIKE TO A FWHETESS OF OLD.
She Argues on Objectionable Topics With
Marvelous Fluency.
THE -HISTORY OF HER GREAT SYSTEM
f COBBKSPOSDIHCE Or THE DISPATCH. (
Birmingham, England, Jan. 10.
Promises of moral enlightenment for the
new year come in showers frcmall quarters.
One of the most encouraging is that made
us by Mrs. Victoria "Woodhull, who will re
turn tor the lecturing platform with Teno
rated intellectual power, and her friends
declare with renovated beauty, as well as to
instruct the human race in the science of
keeping up knowledge and keeping down
numbers. The task is difficult; but to a
brave woman like "Victoria Woodhull all
things are possible, made so by the high in
tellieence which nnables her to leap at a
bound over the fences set up by men's prej
udices, or to creep gracefully through the
tangled underwood that nature herself has
provided.
But a few short years have elapsed since
Victorfa's last visit to St. James' Hall, and
yet, by the younger folks among ns, she is
almost forgotten; and therefore it may be
well to renew the memory of the strange
power of fascination which enabled her to
talk without a blush, and to be listened to
without protestation. Honesty of purpose
was accepted as excuse for Indiscretion of
tongue. Philosophers d eclare that there is
but one such woman in a generation. But
in this case we have had two Victoria and
her sister and, although the latter only
followed in the wake of the former, it was
felt that her preserice added a great addi
tional charm to the i'conferenccs for men
onty," when any subject was discussed
which needed the softening influence of
woman to give it the sanction of purityf
motive, at all events, it not of terms in its
plain exposition.
Like a Prophetess of Old.
I remember seeing Viotoria Woodhull at
her residence in Langham place, and the
impression conveyed by her language and
appearance was that of a prophetess of old.
Her tall commanding figure and classical
features, her magnificent bearing and regal
gesture seemed well adapted to the author
itative tone of her discourse. The elo
quence was surprising. Not once did she
hesitite for the appropriate word; not once
did she repeat the same expression in the
same paragraph; and sne held you spell
bound by the lucidity and logic of her
reasoning, until you forgot the objectiona
ble nature of her arguments, and only re
membered to protest against them when
you had returned to quiet reflection and
self-inquiry as to the exact justice of her
suggestion'to enforce the doctrine Of Mal
thus upon all men alike.
She was attired, moreover, in the most
exquisite taste, well befitting the gravity of
the subject Upon which she had come to
lecture a simple robe of plain black velvet,
trimmed at the throat with a ruff of antique
lace; a plain gold brooch, and gold buckle
at the waist completed her whole attire.
Her hair was dressed in plain fashion like
wise. A soft coil round the back of her head,
falling low in the neck, a light feathery
fringe oyer the brow. 2fo affectation of
opening and shutting of the face, no arti
ficial application of the scent bottle, no
sipping of water from the decanter on the
table. She Carried in her right hand a plain
cambric pocket-handkerchief, which she
tucked gracefully into her belt when both
hands were needed to enfoiCe the power of
her words.
History of Her System.
Time flies so fast and events follow each
oiher so quiokly that the memory even of
Victoria Woodnull's admirers may need re
freshing at this day. It was in 1875 that
Victoria Woodhull first started on her
career of mystical reformer of the human
race. She had already made the emancipa
tion of woman her most especial study, and
even as a voting girl became convinced that
the excess of population and the bondage in
which the female sex was held thereby was
the fundamental cause of ail the poverty
and depression Of the lower classes.
She then became convinced that bv com
merce and speculation, in rivalry with the
brokers of Wall street, she should be able
to compete with the wealthiest citizens Of
New York. "It needs so little brains to
guide and govern the stock market, that I
always fear to show superiority of intellect,
as it would be considered so unbecoming in
Wall street that it would frighten the busi
ness men" said she to Vanderbilt,.who had
expressed a doubt whether she would be
able to stand against the fierce competition
which would assail her. Public rumor de
clared that her success was too evident, and
the behavior of her male rivals so mean and
contemptible in the way of business that
she threw up the stockbroking in disgust,
and not through loss, as the Stock Exchange
asserted afterward.
Canvassed for the Presidency.
She was bold enough to rely upon her in
telligence in a far more ambitious matter
still, for she positively canvassed for the
dignity of President of the United States.
and actually secured the support of 2G States
and 4 Territories, from which delegates were
dispatched to assure her of their allegiance.
Indeed, the theories she had developed in
the course of her lectures all over theUnion
had created a powerful party in her favor.
During her stay in Loudon shs met with a
rich banker, to whom she was married.
This event put an end for the time to her
lecturing in our metropolis.
But qui a bu boira, says the French
proverb, and Victoria Woodnull, fired with
indignation at the false doctrines which
have taken hold Of the public mind, and
wanton waste of money expended on theories
which the propagators know well enough
can never be realized, resolves again to
come forward to save the human raco from
the nerveless apathy into which it is fast
falling, suffering who'le armies of Impostors
to march Over the senseless bodies of the
credulous multitude, and rob them as they
lie helpless and hoping and believing still.
Her Visit to Paris.
Victoria Woodhnlt (now" Mrs. Martin) is
about to begin her lectures'before the pub
lic of Paris, in whom it will cause no small
degree of amazement to be told that all the
misery of Ireland arises from the want
of courage of the women. What have the
.women done to help the men all this while?
says she. "Nothing. They are content to
live in dependenoe upon the men, expecting
to be provided wthibod, shelter and rai
ment without the Smallest exertion on their
own part It is by the women that the'
nations rise and fall. And Ireland is stick
ing fast to the soft marl-pit of helplessness
and discouragement through want of an j
noble aim to guide the women."
The Paris people who have been led to
believe that all the soi-disant misery of
Ireland arises from the crushing power of
England will be. rather astonished at this
new view of the oppressed people of the
green island. The theories about to be
developediy Victoria Woodhull, once aided
by her sister, now Lady Cook, wife of Sir
Francis Cook, the great merchant of St.
Paul's Churchyard, may not exactly accord
with our own ideas, but they are worth
examining, nevertheless. She nroclaims
the lower classes to be the foundation of the
edihee on which society reposes; ancl yet in
every country It is the people of the lower
classes who are oppressed and driven to
despair by the different Governments. And
what Is terrible is the .conviction that they
are increasing in numbers so rapidly that
society, which hugs itself in such fond
security, will be overwhelmed ere long.
Crimes In the Name of Marriage.
"Let us. then, examine whence arise th
crime and misery which exist among them; J
and now, then, let me grapple face to face
with the greatest and most flagrant crimes
of all, the most general, the most ferocious,
becanse hidden, the unost bitter which can
befall -the human race the crimes com
mitted in the name of marriage." Victoria
Woodhull seeks not to satirize or condemn
hthe institution itself, but to suggest certain
retorms'wnicn must be adopted, or society
cannot hold together for another . genera
tion. She then sfarts forward on her course
folle upon the theory -preached by Tolstoi
that none should be allowed to marry but
those who are perfectly proportioned in
mind and body, and th'at physical health
and beauty should be considered as neces
sary to the married state as well as moral
health and vigor.
She calls her doctrine "The Development
of the Human Race," and Mrs. Grundy
leaves the hall disgusted and ashamed at
the enthusiasm to which her discourse gives
rise, i The theory plainly developed in
words that all may understand is considered
immodest, and the accusation cannot be de
nied. Victoria has been eight times in
prison in America for exposing her doctrine
without disguise, but she intends to pro
ceed even further on her return to London,
She declares the evil of which she speaks
has increased tenfold since her last lectures,
and that her denunciations against the
"crimes consequent on marriage" will be
the theme rendered more powerful in con
sequence. CAPITALISTS TAKEN IN.
FALL KIVEB CITIZEN? MOTJRN THE
LOSS OF 8300,000.
They Did Not Catch on to the Right End or
the Florence Industrial Doom Their
Money Went Into Corner Lots Instead of
Iron Work.
Fall Kites, Mass., Jan. 20. There are
a number of the leading citizens here in
anything but a pleasant frame of mind.
They are the cute business men of the town,
rich in experience, many of them having
sounded all the depths' and shoals of
financial navigation, and with as keen a
Yankee edge upon their business instincts
as can be found anywhere. Yet they are
ready to throw up thjeir hands, and confess
that they have been taken in and sheared
of all their shrewdness and experience by
the hated race of rebel brigadiers.
It came about in this manner: Two years
ago an agent of the industrial boom in Flor
ence, Ala., came to this city with his boom
and his story of the marvelous natural re
sources and ultimate future of Florence.
He was a judge and a gentleman, and armed
with credentials irom Philadelphia capital
ists and a persuasive tongue, he ' succeeded
in getting capitalists here to invest in the
Florence iron works, then built on paper, to
the tune of nearly 5200,000. Some of the
investors were disinclined to invest in
futures of any kind, in view of past experi
ence, but the judge assured them that this
was a sure winner, and that the Florence
boom would grow while you waited, 'if it
wasn t deemed advisable to hold it bacK.
So the judge and the money of the investors
departed for Florence.
Expectations didn't realize; the boom
progressed so far as to enable those who were
steering it to gather in a large raft of tender-
feet and build theiron wrorks. Then it
flattened out. The investors here and else
where clamored for information and ex
planations. They got very little of either,
and that was of an unsatisfactory quality.
The reason given for not operating the
works was that there wasn't a dollar left in
the treasury and that the game could not
proceed further uuless stockholders had a
mind to ante more ' cash. This nobody
seemed inclined to do, and so things re
mained at a standstill and nobody spoke
above his breath for fear he wonld give him
self away to the public as a "sucker."
The annual meeting of the corporation
was held lost week, and the men in this city
who had flashed up 5200,000 under the
seductive influence of the judge's eloquence,
appointed Colonel W. B. Warner, of the
firm of Cobb, Bates & Yerxa, and W. H.
Chase, of the Union Belt Company, to go
on and represent them and get an account
ing. They went and have just returned.
From the officers of the Florence iron
works they say that they could get little
satisfaction, but in the course of their investigation-they
discovered that neither
they nor their mends here were in the con
cern at all. What they had pooled 'in had
been used to boom land instead of manu
facturing stock, and at present quotations
land could be bought by the acre for the
price obtained for a square foot at the time
they invested. At the stockholders' meet
ing no attention was paid to their protests,
and immediately after it adjourned the
directors went into executive session and
denied themselves to the envoys from Fall
Eiver. They have returned and reported,
and that is why lots of men have ah anxious,
careworn look in this city to-day.

St. Xotjis, Jan. 20. Details of the ter
rible accident to a sleighing party in this
city lost night confirm the first report
printed in The Dispatch this morning
that eight were killed. In addition four
are thought to be fatally injured, while four
others were hiore or less hurt.
The driver of the sleigh had charge of a
party of 20 persons, members of the Clover
Fishing Club and their guests, who were re
turning from a cafe some distance out the
Clayton road. .Nearly all the party had
been drinking during the evening, but the
driver was sober. He was so muffled up,
however, that he did not hear the approach
ing train and could not see it from the fact
that a short distance from the Sarah street
crossing there is a deep cut hiding the
track.
Just as the party were crossing the tracks
the train dashed into the sleigh. The engine
was running tender first. The men were
thrown high in the air and scattered in all
directions.
A Frightful Spectacle at the Wreck.
When the train backed up the sight that
met the gaze of those on the train was
awful. The men who comprised tht sleigh
ing party were lying in a heap, and groans
and screams rent the air. Four men were
lifted from tho mass and placed in the
coach. Then the police and ambulances
that had been telephoned for arrived, and
the train proceeded on its way to the Union
depot.
The ambulance attendants lifted the dead
and injured out of the .snow and the latter
were made as comfortable as possible. The
night was very cold, the. mercury being be
low zero, and the injured, as well as helpers
suffered greatly on this account. After the
wounded had all been placed in the ambu
lances they were conveyed to the City Hos
pital, while the dead were removed to the
morgue.
Engineer Blanchfield says that he is not
responsible for the accident, as the bells
were ringing and he believes the men in the
sleigh were so intoxicated they did not
know they were driving along the railroad
track.
The Dead and the Wounded.
The list of killed is as follows:
FBEDEK1CK NEUBEET, harkceper.
J. C. SCHIEFFLE, formerly of Chicago.
GUSTAVE NEUBEKT, bartender.
WILLIAM KRONE, salesman In the employ
of the Coylo & Sargeant Silk Company.
GEOllGE EDD, clerk for tho Miller Drug
Company.
B. VON EHREN, salesman in the employ
or tho Coyle & Sargeant Silk Company.
AL MILLER, bartender.
GEORGE DAT.
The following is a correct list of the in
jured: Charles Frey, Jr., E. H. Beckley,
Charles Behrens, D. Gardner, E. Hauck,
John Spencer, James Barrett, Charles
Willard and James Connor.
An investigation by the Wabash officials
reveals the fact that while the engine was
running tender first there was a headlight
on the tender and the bell was ringing, so
that the blame is entirely on the driver of
the sleigh.

What a blessed thing is memory!
How it brings up the pleasures of the
past, and hides its unpleasantnesses!
You recall your childhood days, do
you not, and wish they would jeturn1?
You remember the 'pleasant associa
tions, while the unpleasant ones ar$
forgotten. Perhaps to your mind
comes the face of some friend. It
was once a pale, sad face. It showed
marks of pain, lines of care- It
seemed to be looking into the here
after, the unknown future. And then
,, , - . . . 4. j ,
you recalled how It brightened, how
it recovered its rosy hue, how it be
came a picture of happiness and joy.
Do you remember these things?
Many people do, and gladly tell how
the health returned, how happiness
came back, how the world seemed
bright. They tell how they were once
weak, nerveless, perhaps in pain, cer
tainly unhappy. They tell of sleep
less nights, restless days, untouched
food, unstrung nerves. And then
they tell how they became happy,
healthy and strong onc more. You
have heard it often in the past, have
you not? You have heart! people
describe how they were cured and
kept in health? You certainly can
remember what it is that has so helped
people in America. If not, listen to
twhat Mrs. Annie Jenness Miller; who
is known universally as the great
dress reformer, says: "Six years
ago, when suffering from mental care
and overwork, I received the most
pronounced benefit from, the use of
that great medicine, Warner's Safe
Cure." Ah, ''now you remember.
Now you recall how many people you
have heard say this same thing. Now
you recollect how much you have
heard of this great Cure. Now you
are ready to admit that memory is
usually t pleasing, that the highest
pleasure comes from perfect health,
and that this great remedy has done
more to produce and prolong health
than any other discovery ever known
in the entire history of the whole
world.
