EUROPE'S BIG WEDDING. IEBBERT BISMAKCK TCEDS HIS BRIDE Bbest, June 21. A. terrible accident oo urrcd yesterday on board the new French ruiser Da Puy de Lome. Orders had been iven for the vessel to make a trial of her machinery, and while this trial was in rogress the end of one of the boilers was lown out. The fire room immediately "be ame filled w ith scalding steam and a enl 'hurous, suffocating smoke, caused by the ater reaching and extinguishing the fire ader fhe boiler. To make the situation worse, the electric ights went out, and the lire room was left n darkness. The engineer and stokers were nable to escape until the chief engineer nd an outsider rushed down the fire room adder and broke open the door of the com artment. Then a most horrible and sickening sight resented itsclC Men wero lying on the leek, delirious from the agony caused by he terrible injuries they had sustained, oine were writhing in convulsions, their !ackened and distorted faces and fearfully distend bodies, arms and legs presenting a ight at once sickening and heart-rending. Terrible 1 nVcts of the Torture. Several of the men, in their torture, had 'itten themselves on their arms and hands .nd had attacked their equally unfortunate nipanions and had bitten them. In some sses men were heaped together in strug ling, writhing masses, and it required con iderable eflort to separate them. The cool leek of the fire room was covered with hot -ater from the exploded boiler to the depth 1 two or three inches, and in this the in uied men lay, every second adding to the errible scalding they had received. 1-fforts were at once made to get the men nit of th- fire room, but this task was ren- iered difficult through the fact that they vere absolutely crazv with pain, and at acked their would-be rescuers with thtir lauds, leet and teeth, in some cases inflict ng quite severe injuries. The hot water ilso added to the difficulty of removing the ncn, and finally it was found necessary to rrasp tl.cin in any way possible and drag hem out. Fifteen of them were dying vhen they were taken to theship'shospital, tnd a number of others will undoubtedly lie in a very short time. It is believed hat, besides their external injuries, nearly ill of them inhaled steam, and this alone vould be suflicicnt to cause death. Tli Cruiser Is Set on Fire. At the very time the end the boiler blew Hit, an explosion occurred in the coal mnkcrs aud set the cruiser on fire. The :rew were at once summoned to fire quar ers, and hoie was laid to the bunkers. The lonkey eucmes were started and the fire aas soon uuder control. The two accidents caused some breach in -he usual man-of-war discipline, and some it the officer appeared to have lost their leads. While nearly everybody on board he cruiser was attempting to rescue the .njured in the fire room, or fighting the fire n sue ounters, tne quartermasters reported hat they could not handle the shin. An investigation was made, when it was lonnd steering apparatus was broken Tonne TUsmarck and His Austrian Bride SI ado One In Vienna Another l'opnlar Oration to the SI an of Blood and Iron Government OfflCTs Scare?. Yieuxa, June 2L Count Herbert Bis marck and the Countess Margaretha Hoyos were married at 11:30 o'clock this morning in the Evangelical Church in Dorothea Gash e. The weather was beautiful. Prince Bismarck's present to the bride is a splen did diamond riviere, and Connt Herbert's present is a bracelet of brilliants, while the father of the bride gives her a diamond coronet. Crowds assemble in the Garben and the Kohlmarket, two of the principal streets of' the city, throueh which the carriages con taining invited guests passed to the church. Prince Bismarck was loudly cheered as he drove along the streets from the Palffy Palace to the church. Six hundred guests had been iffvited to attend the ceremony. The Austrian officials were conspicuous by the absence. 'The Austro-Hungarian aristocracy was mostly represented by Hun garian magnates attired in their gorgeous national costumes. Count von Schouvaloft, the Russian Ambassador to Germany, was the only Ambassador present. Besides him were Count Ernest Hoyos, Connt William Bismarck, who wore the uniform of the First Dragoon Guards, and Prince Nicholas Esterhazy, Count Palffy. There was a burst of cheering at 11:25 when Prince Bjsniarck and Count Herbert arrived. They acknowledged the grejting and then awaited at the door of the church the appearance of the bride. The ex- Chancellor looked a giant beside the group that surrounded him. He was attired in the uniform of the German Garde du Corps, and wore a helmet surmounted with a silver eagle. Coimt Herbert wore the blue uni form of the First Dragoon Guards. At 11:30 another burst of cheerinc an nounced the arrival of the bride. She ad vanced slowly up the aisle, escorted by Prince Hohenlobe voa Bulow, of the Ger man Embassy at home. The whole assem bly rose as the bride passed np the aisle, and facing the risle bowed to her. Prince Bismarck and Count Herbert followed. The marriage service was then proceeded with, the bride ana bridegroom kneeling. As the bridal party left the church they were lustily cheered, Prince Bismarck especially being most warmly treated. The whole party was then driven to the Palffy palace. IGNORED THE VOTES. Answer of Traction Officials to Wil liam Eherhardt's Suit. CONTESTING A FATHER'S WILL.

Gluditonlans Expect 100 Votes to Spare in the Next Parliament. IiONTKW, June 2L Mr. Gladstone held a long conference to-day with Justin Mc Carthy, John Dillon and Timothy Healy, all of whom are anti-Parnellites. Mr. Glad stone advised that renewed efforts be made to re-establish union in the Irish Parlia mentary party, pointing out the evil effects that would result to the home rulemove ment from the continued strife of the Irish factions. He urged that concessions be made on each side in order that McCarthyite aud Parnellite candidates should not stand against each other in parliamentary constit uencies in the approaching general elec tions. It is expected in high Liberal quarters that Gladstone's majority in the coming general elections will be larger than that of any recent Government. Reports lrom local Liberal agents declare that the pros pects are improving beyond the hopes of the most sanguine. It is estimated that the Liberals will have a majority in Great Britain of between GO and 70 members of Parliament, in addition to the Irish vote, which will be at least 80. Even if the ma jority in Great Britain does not come up to what is expected, the combined majority, it is said, is certain to exceed 100. C L. Magee and others, directors of the Pittsburg, Allegheny and Manchester Traction Company, yesterday filed an an swer to the application for a writ of quo warranto made by "William' Eberhardt. It was stated by Eberhardt in his petition that C. L. Magee, J. H. Dalzell, F. G win ner, G. B. Hill and Joshua Bhodes have been illegally exercising the offices of di rectors of the Pittsburg, Allegheny and Manchester Company. He said that 'at the annual election of the traction company, held May 16, . 1892, ho and the five gentlemen named were candi dates for directors. They each received 46,842)4 votes, and he was only credited With 38,585 by the jndge of election. He asserts he cast, as attorney in fact for M. W. Watson, J. T. "Woods and J. N. Davidson, stockholders who were absent, 13,000 more votes for him self. The judge of election, however, did not count the votes. He claims he was rightfully elected and the defendants were not and he wants them compelled to show by what right they hold their position. In their answer the defendants say that Eberhardt had not sufficient authority to cast the votes of the absentees and his powers of attorney were not sufficient under the law. PULPUS RELEASED AT LAST. of The Grand Jury Ignores the Chares Murder Against Him. The grand jury yesterday ignored the bill against John Pulpus, colored, for murder. Pulpus was charged with the killing of Miss Sadie Joyce, the girl who was found dead near Sylvan avenue last February. Pulpus was seen about the neighborhood about the time of the supposed crime, and mud cor responding to that where the body was tound, was on his clothes and he was ar rested. He bos been in jail ever since, but no more evidence against him could be found. The case was taken up yesterday and the bill ignorsd.

The will of the late John "Woods, of Snowden township, was filed yesterday for probate. At the same time a caveat was filed by "William "Woods, a son of the testa tor, protesting against the probate of his father's will. Both parties have figured considerably about the courts lately. Some time ago the son endeavored to have his father declared a lunatic, but in two efforts he was defeated, and the old man declared cane. The father lived with his daughter, Mrs. AdaM. McOormick, and she contended that her brother only wanted their father's property. The will filed yesterday is dated June 16, 1885, and has a codicil dated June 23, 1891. By the original will $1,500 each is given to "William Woods, his son, and Mrs. McCor mick. his daughter; $2,000 and all his per sonal property to his wife Nancy "Woods, and the farm on which they lived to his wife and daughter for life and at their death to his grandson, J.

In case of her death before the testator all her share goes to Mrs. McCor mick and from her to her children. Thoso Who. Will Graduate at the Com mencement Next Week.

Batherford, its Second Vice President, late to-day confessed judgment to Frederick Huidekoper and Eeuben Foster, receivers of the Bichmond nnd Danville Bailroad Company, for $181,906 03 due on five notes dated March 4, 8, April 16, 30 and May 2, 1892. The company has also confessed judgment for $30,115 to "William P. Clyde for money loaned March 30, 1892, and for $15,065 to John C Maben, advanced on March 29, 1892. Huidekoper and Foster are the . two re ceivers of the Bichmond and Danville ap pointed a few days ago by Judge Bond. Maben and Clyde are two of the three who applied to Judge Bond for the appointment of the receivers for the Danville Company. It is generally understood that this action is part of a plan to put the Richmond Ter minal Company in the hands of a receiver, ana an application tor a receiver lor tuat company is expected to follow at once. The four parties were in close consultation all day to-day, but refused to make any statement in regard to the affairs of the company during the day. Their position now, as judgment 'creditors, is expected to ghe them the right to name the receiver on any application that may be made. This step, it is thought, is taken in order to facilitate the reorganization by Drexel, Morgan & Co. A COLOSSAL MIX IN C0UBT. A STATE BIOBY DENIED. Judge Day, at Canton, riearlng the Kicking Stockholders of the Mansfield Knnte. Canton, June 2L perfa'. The case of S. B. Sturges et al versus the Mansfield, Coldwater and Lake Michigan Bailroad Company is being heard in the parlors of the Hurford House here before Mr. Day as referee. The case is brought by creditors representing $300,000 against the holders of $300,000 of issued stock. The case began in the Bichard county Common Pleas Court in 1873. It was so big that the Judge gave it to Judge Lemon, of Clyde, who toyed about the legal fringes of the complicated thing for five years, and collected his fee after giving a decision that some of the 4,200 per sons (3,000 recorded and 5,200 not recorded) interested kicked about. Then the colossal mix-up got into the Circuit Court at Mans field. This Court took a peep at it and shied away. Now Judge Day is tack ling it. It goes without saying that the man who settles this case satisfactorily, with 4,000 in terested people, will be a "corker." "What the trouble is no one seems to know for cer tain. There are too many Interests. The original intention of the Coldwater Com pany was to build from Mansfield to Toledo, Coldwater, Battle Creek and Allegan, Mich. The Pennsylvania Company now owns the line and operates it from Mans field to Toledo. The Cincinnati, Jackson and Mackinaw bought the right of way through Battle Creek to Allegan for $187, 000. Senator Brice and Secretary of t he Treasury Foster are both interested parties. BUSINESS BREVITIES. No Trouble Between Ex-Secretary Blaine and John W. Foster. "Washington, June 21. Mr. John"W. Foster said to-day that M. H. De Young in bis recent interview had fallen into the error of accepting as true a report sent out from Washington last week by some special correspondents of what purports to be an account of the conference between Mr. Blaine and the Canadian Commissioners in this city on June 3 and 4 at the State De partment "That story," said Mr. Foster, "is wholly without foundation. There was not the slightest divergence of views between Mr. Blaine and myself, not an unpleasant word spoken by anyone during the entire con ference, and it was adjourned in the best temper by all present, out not until all the business "was dispatched. This statement as to the conference would now doubtless be confirmed by Mr. Blaine were it not for the deep bereavement which take him from all thought of public affairs. "I wai present at the conference at the express invitation of Mr. Blaine himself, and my relation to the reciprocity negotia tions of the past year, alluded to by Sir. De Young, was at the special request of Mr. Blaine, witbont any previous intimation on the part of President Harrison. In fact, the President knew nothing about the ar rangement made by the Secretary ot State and myself until after it had been consum mated, and it would not have been con tinued a moment bv me if any want of har mony between1 us had ever arisen. Up to the last our relations were of the most cor dial and friendly character." j Home-lfaised Strawberries Best. It has often been a question why people prefer home-raised fruit to that brought from a distance. The reason is that home- raised fruit is always freshest and has not lost any of the sweetness by a long journey. The same argument holds good with the preference people have lor Marshall Kennedy Milling Company's flours. They are made right here at borne, and, being sold directly from the mill to the retailer, they lose none of their strength and sweet ness by long storage, so often the case in flour brought from a distance. Their new medium priced family flour, Bayard Amber, is not as fancy as the big berries in the box, but you'll find it jnst as sweet and pure and the finest all-around family flour in the market, Bayard Amber is especially de signed to meet the demand for a good flour at a fair price, and the enthusiasm with which it is received shows it is the best; Try it, Tolksbrau.

The Ordinance Officer Unearths New anof Novel Scheme to BEAT THE CITY 00T OP MONEY. Old Soldiers Sell Privileges to Economical Hucksters. SUITS FOE PEKJDRT THREATENED- Mayor Gourley's one ordinance officer has earned more than his year's salary for the city within the past week in addition to saving many dollars since his appoint ment to domestic consumers of coal. -As stated in The Dispatch a couple of weeks ago', the officer started out to put a stop to the practice of peddling without a city license. At first he fonnd that there were many violators of the law, but they either stopped peddling or procured the necessary license at once. Between 30 and 40 license plates at $35 each were issned by the City Treasurer last week as a result of this crusade, and it was evident that few, if any of that number, would have been taken out if the officer had not gone after them. In his investigation the officer found another class of offenders who were using plates that had been issned to old soldiers and illegally transferred. Under an amendment to the city laws passed in 1889 an old sol dier is entitled to a peddler's license free of cost, provided he gives a bond of $200, shows that he is unable to earn a living at his regular calling and takes an affidavit that he will not transfer the free plate issued to him. Bought Plates From Old Soldiers. Two plates have already been fonnd that it is alleged have been thus fraudulently transferred. James Lawless and William Cella were arrested on Monday. They were peddling under cover ot license plates 104 and 107, issjied May 6. At a hearing before Magistrate McKenna yesterday af ternoon it was shown that Lawless had purchased his plate for $19 from Theodore Barker, a resident of Allegheny, and there fore not entitled to a license. Cella paid $15 for his place to William Findlay. Neither ot the old soldiers are known at the Treasurer's office nor to the men who bought the license plates from tbem. Cella and Lawless were each fined $50 and costs by the Magistrate, for their participation in the matter. Soon afterward a number of politicians called on the Mayor to have the fines returned, but His Honor stoutly re fused, saying the defendants had knowingly violated the law and if the fines were re mitted it would be an encouragement for others. There are a number of other platesjssned to old soldiers who are not using them and the ordinance officer is looking them up. Will Be Prosecuted for Prrjnry. He said yesterday that the legitimately licensed peddlers bad resolved to take the matter in hand and prosecnte every old soldier caught violating the law in this re spect. Charges of perjury and false pre tenses will be entered, and an effort made to stop the frand. The ped dlers say that they must pay the full amount of the Micense and they will not permit others to get the same privileges at half that expense if ifcan be avoded. Interesting developments are ex pected of a meeting of the peddlers which is expected to take place in a day or two. The crusade against the illegal peddlers has caused complaints from the commission merchants'on Liberty street. They say that there is not halt as many peddlers' wagons on Liberty street since the ordinance officer has begun his work, and in consequence much of the stnfP that cannot be sold on Libertv street, and which the hucksters have heretofore taken off the dealers"' hands and peddled through the suburbs must now be consigned to the garbage furnace.
