FIANCEE GETS NOTHING.
Tho Captain Died Intcitnto and His
Money (iocs to the Sinte.
San Francisco, May 6. A pathetic
romance has Just come to light In the
settlement of the estate of Captain
Frederick G. Clark, Who Is supposed to
have been lost at sea with tho Ill-fated
sealing schooner Dagmar, In 1878. Ho
wanted his money to go to his fiancee,
but as he failed to make a will the Btate
of California will get it. The public
administrator has Just died his final
accounting In the ease, which ''was
placed In his hands first In September,
1894. Though there Is no legal way by
which the dead eaptaln'8 wishes may
be enforced, It has come to the knowl
edge of the public administrator that
he wanted hla money to' go to Miss
Nellie Ormond, of Boston, to whom he
was engaged.
Captain Clarlt first met t'fc young
lady on his return from the civil war.
He and her brother had been compan
ions, und when Ormond was wounded
the captain nursed him faithfully. By
a strange misfortune Clark was serious
ly hurt while in lioston and his devoted
nurse was Nellie Ormond. After his
convalescent) they were engaged. The
captain came to San Francisco and en
tered the service of the Alaska Com
mercial company, and It was arranged
that he should marry the girl on his re
turn from the trip, which, as fate willed
It, cost him his life. Caolaln Clark's
companions often heard him speak of
his fiancee, and his business associates
heard him say, time and again, that he
wanted all his money to go to her if
anything should happen to him, but as
he died without making a will, and as
none of his relatives can be found, his
estate, which amounts to about $50,000,
will go to the state.

morning destroyed M. Strauss & Sons'
tannery, postal station A, Grobcn's coal

fire started In a barn in the rear of No.
7SI1 William street, and was well under
way when iiist seen. Before the fire
apparatus arrived the lire had com

well as to the dwellings in front.

their night clothes. lSefore the firemen
could get their apparatus unlimbered
and hard at work, the postal station,
Just east of the two dwellings, nt Nos.
7S!t and 7!U, was on fire, and the big
Pold Packing house across the street
was endangered. The material used In
the tannery made a hut lire, and it was
only be the utmost efforts of the (ire-
men that the flames were kept away
from the packing house.
Beyond the postal utatlon, were the
coal yards, and here again the firemen
made a fielrce battle. Several houses
were burned here, but there was no
loss of human life, though many fam
ilies had narrow escapes.

patches stating that Russia is making
an lmpoBlng naval demonstration in the
Chinese harbor of Chefoo, midway be

Washington, Pn., May 0. "The Chi

for the loss of the war with Japan.
Government officials high up In China

home here from a ten years' service in
the Chinese navy. He was commander
of the Chen Yuen, the famous ironclad,
during the late unpleasantness between
China nnd Japnn. He has returned to
America, most likely to remain, as he
evidently does not think well of the
Chinese military nnd naval affairs.
"I was In the hospital nnd not In com

"When we went Into the big battle
of Ynlu, I made nil preparations to

Yes, to be plain, I would have killed
myself before being taken for torture
by the Japanese.
"Now that the war is over, I want to
say right here that It Is a blot on tho
previous fair fame of Japan which will
never be effaced. Without one word of
warning, before war had been declared,
their fleet pounced down on the de
fenceless Kow Shlng and sent her with
1,000 souls to the bottom. It was one
of , the most cold-blooded tricks In the
history of the world."

er of his pretty young wife, whose re
lease from the Norrlstown Insane

testimony of an expert nnd others, the
court released the defendant, but re
quired him to file bonds in $5,000 to keep
the ponce toward Dr. Mary Jones and
her son, the mother and brother of the
murdered wife. W. H. Brooniull anil
Garrett Smedley, esq., appeared ns
counsel for Professor Shortlldge. Their
client sat by the lawyers, looking In
good health nnd Apparently uh well as
at any time for years.
The first witness was Dr. Richard
son, of the Norrlstown insane asylum,
who was questioned very closely by the
court. He stated that Professor Short
lldge was entirely cured, that he con
sidered him perfectly sound mentally,
and there was no further need for his
retention. There was no dnnirer. In hlci
opinion, of n return of his trouble, an

Ilomkmen Required !
Judge Clayton tested the witness In
various ways and his opinion was un
changed. The court then snld that he
had given careful thought to the mat
ter, nnd was satisfied that as long as
the defendant's health wns irood thorn
would be no trouble, but he would re
quire bondsmen to Justify In the sum
of $fi,000, nnd nny Indication of re
turning trouble would result In tho de
fendant's arrest.
Mrs. Dr. Jones, who resides In Brook
lyn, was called to the stand, and she
strongly protested uiralnst the nrofns-
sor's release ns she considered her life,
and that of her son. In ieonnrdv In
support of this she cited a number of
instances which she said Indication on
his part to do her harm.
Professor Shortlldce left the court
room accompanied bv his brother Mnv.
or Shortlldge, of Wilmington, Del.
On Now Year's morning, 1S'I4, Profes
sor Shortlldge asked his recentlv n-orl.l-
ed wife to go for a walk with him. Pro
fessor Shortlldge had recently recov
ered from the grip and had been acting
strangely. His wife went with him,
and in a lonely part of the road Short
lldge suddenly shot her dead. As far
as ever been learned the murder was
without provocation, and afterward
Shortlldge's behavior was that of a
maniac. He was tried, adjudged In
sane and committed to the Insane
asylum from which he vas relensed to
day.

Schmidt was frightened speechless
early yesterday morning, and has been
unable to ulter n word since. Her hus
band did not come home at the usual
time Thursday and Mrs. Schmidt, who
Is of a nervous temperament, got tired
waiting for him, so she looked nnd
bolted all the doors and retired. About
1 o'clock Schmidt arrived nnd, not being
nble to mnke his wife respond to his
knocks, he forced the door.
Mrs. Schmidt appeared to be sleeping,
so he retired. In the morning he
found her lying on her back in bed,
every muscle fearfully contracted nnd
her eyes fixed on the celling. Physi
cians pronounced the enso paralysis,
nnd It appeared to be complete. Not n
word would she speak. Last night her
muscles relaxed somewhat, but her
vocal organs ore still powerless. The
belief Is that she will never be able to
speak again-
