PRAYERS FOR THE PRINCE
Churches of Two Continents Offer
Up Petitions.
The Delicate Constitution of the Duke
Exemplifies a 1 'ux.uffC of Scripture,
but It Pointed no Moral Yra
terday—Mrs. Maybrick.
New Yohk, Jan. 18.—In nearly every
pulpit in the united kingdom yester
day some reference was made to the
death of Prince Albert Victor of
Wales. Very many divines, according
to the telegraph dispatches, devoted
their entire discourse to the event that
has plunged the country into that
gloom that invariably follows the cle
mise of one connected with the reign
ing house. In all of the Episcopal
chruches special prayers word offered
for the continued preservation of the
queen, the prince and princcssof Wales
and the remaining members of the
royal family. Hut the ministers do not
seem to have been inclined to point a
moral from the event, and so
far as is known, not one of
them took as a text that passage
I of scripture which says that tho sins
of the fathers shall be visited on the j
children. And yet there is little, if j
I any, doubt thut the delicate constitu- '
tion of tho late prince, as well ns of j
his brother George, the present heir j
i apparent, may be traced back and
[ found to have an origin in the wild life
and indiscretions of the prince of
Wales in his early days. lie himself
comes of a family noted for the longe
vity of its members; while on the prin
cesses side there is a strong, robust,
long-lived race. Hut the dead prince
was always a weakling, and tor years
his health has been a subject of con
: siderable anxiety in court circles. Had
| he been strong and robust the attack
of influenza would undoubtedly have
passed lightly over him, but ho lacked
I the constitutional vigor required to
meet it, and consequently he fell an
easy victim to the malady. As to
Prince George, he has always been in
ferior physically to his deceased
brother, and his health will hence
forth be a subject of continuous appre
hension, not only to his grandmother
and his parents, but to all those that
are concerned with the, question of
roval succession.
I’rlnrom May of Teck.
Public sympathy goes out very
largely to the Princess May of Teok,
the affianced of the dead prince, whose
marriage had been fixed lor the fourth
Saturday in February. Although on
I the prince's side the prospective mar
riage was largely one of convenience,
the queen being naturally anxious that
there should be a direct line of succes
sion, yet it is known that the young
princess was deeply in love with
Prince Victor, and had entered into
the preparations for the marriage day
with unwonted glee and buoyancy of
spirits. As it is his untimely death has
cast a cloud over her entire life. She
can no longer look forward to the
prospect of being the consort of a
reigning king, or of being the mother
i of a future ruler of the nation, while
I it is difficult to foresee in what direc
tion she can look for a husband after
her period of mourning has passed and
: her sorrow has in a measure gone out
| of her heart
That she must marry eventually is
certain, for the duke and duchess of
Teck, who are well advanced in years,
have barely enough income to main
tain their rank and station, and lit
tle or nothing to leave to their ehil
I dren. Yet the young girl who has
! beon chosen as the bride of the heir
! presumptive could scarcely be permit
ted to bestow her heart and hand upon
anyone outside of the royal circle, or
even upon any of the German pauper
princelings that are always in the
matrimonial market. Perhaps she may
yet become the bride of her deceased
sweetheart's brother, Prince George of
Wales. Stranger things have hap
pened. There is little doubt but that,
after the period of official mourning
for the dead prince has passed the
queen will become urgent for the mar
1 riage of Prince Victor in order that
there may be as little chance as possi
ble for the succession falling to the
Princess Victoria of Wales, who is mar
ried to the duke of Fife.
Unfortunate for Mrs. Maybrlck.
New York, Jan. 18.—The death of
the duke of Clarence is unfortunate for
Mrs. Maybrlck. It is customary for the
reigning sovereign, upon the occasion
, of a royal marriage, to signalize the
event by extending clemency to a cer
tain number of convicts by granting
them an unconditional release. A
rumor, coming from usually well in
formed circles, had been current for
several days that Mrs. Maybrick was
to be among the fortunate ones. What
ever prospect of release, however, was
thus afforded her has been dissipated
by the unfortunate event that will de
prive her majesty of the opportunity of
exercising the clemency in question.

A COLORED “MOSES.”
Henry Corbin, Lynched at Oxford, O,, Hu
a Hintary at St, Joseph, Mo,
St. JosKi'it, Mo., Jan. 18.—Henry
Corbin, tlic negro who was lynched at
Oxford, O., for the murder of Mrs.
Horner, lived In this city from his boy
hood up until three years ago, when
he suddenly disappeared, though ap
parently without cause. He was
thought to have made away with him
self in a fit of mental depression, being
subject to such spells
. Corbin became locally famous about
ten years ago by inaugurating a re
ligious boom on his own hook. One
night ho went to the houses of twelve
of the most influential negroes in St.
Joseph, in company with four other
negroes. Two of these carried torches,
one a chair and tlio fourth a small
sized whi tie. Arriving nt the front
door of the house the chair was placed
in the most commanding situation.
Corbin seated himself therein and
threw over himself a "veil of mus
quito bar. The torch bearers stood on
either side of tho improvised throne,
and when all was ready the man with
the whistle blew a blast which split
the night air and brought the family
out of their slumbers and into a state
of awful fright. The head of the
house was summoned to the door, and
when he beheld the veiled figure sit
ting, as it seemed, in judgment, he
Pegged at once for mercy. Corbin then
solemnly imparted tho information
that he was the forerunner of one who
was about to lead the colored race into
a state of eternal bliss, and the trem
bling figure had been selected as an
apostle. He was commanded to ap
pear on the following night with a
torch and initiation fee of si, so that n
movement might be organ zed to re
ceive the new Moses with proper cere
mony. Of. course the- frightened ne
groes promised to do this, and most of
them would have carried out their
promises had not Corbin for some rea
son suddenly abandoned the scheme
without giving any explanation.
His appearance would not suggest a
fertility for schemes of the kind, for
he was sullen, rnoodv, and of an evil
eye.
FLY YOUNG LADIES.
Annua) Foot Knee or Wing-Footed Society
Belles.
New York, Jan. 18.—One of the
chief social and athletic events of the
year m King's county is a 120-yard
handicap foot race for young ladies not
under 15 years and not over 10 years of
age.. It has always been run on Feb
ruary 1, and it will bo decided on that
day this year if the weather will per
mit. The race will be run on the bou
levard between Urighton lloach and
Coney Island, at 3 o’clock.
There are sixteen entries. All the
would-be contestants are well con
nected and prominent in Coney Island
and Shecpshead Hay society. In fact,
they are rival belles.
The race has excited more attention
this year than ever before. Atalanta
would turn green with envy if she
were to take a spin on the
boulevard early in the morning and
see the vigorous training that the de
termined young amazons are indulg
ing in. No matter what the weather
is like, as soon as it is daylight the
boulevard is alive with running girls.
They are dashing hither and thither
with trainers (of the same sex) at their
heels. They are full of enthusiasm
and each and every one is confident
that she will win. Miss Maud Cough
ling, of Sheepshead bay, a handsome
brunet, won the coveted prize, a gold
medal, last year. It will not bo for
lack of training if slio does not win
this year. She is one of the most act
ive of the bevy of fair maidens, and is
usually tlie first to get to work in the
morning.
The Misses Castle, Mason, Van der
Volt, Osborne and Hart are also indus
triously at work, and will leave no
stone unturned to win the coveted
medal. Not since its inauguration
several years ago has the race attracted
so much attention as this year. There
is almost as much enthusiasm over the
preparatory dashes tiiat the fair dam
sels are having dai'y as the race itself.

Hart In a Cronins Wreck In
Chicago—Awful Sight*.
Brainahd, Minn., Jan. 15.—A horri
ble accident occurred on the Northern
Pacific railroad at Jonesville, the first
station east of here, at 3:05 this morn
ing.
A special train consisting of the
sleeping car “Petrel” and a baggage
sar was running as the second section
it the regular train from Superior.
The special loft South Superior
st 11:30 last evening having on board
the Andrews Opera company going
from Duluth to Grand Fo^ks. The
train was running at the usual rate of
speed; suddenly it struck a broken rail,
l’he sleeper left the track and went
down an embankment, landing bottom
side up. The flames broke out from
all parts of the car immediately, and
burned so rapidly that the crew could
do nothing but extricate the passengers
from the wreck. When all had
been rescued, it was thought,
a search revealed the fact
that Mrs. Ed Andrews, wife
of the proprietor of the troop, and her
nurse, Mrs. Lilly Wallace were miss
ing. _ By this time the flames were
burning so fiercely that it was impossi
ble to get near. When the flames were
finally subdued, the remains were dis
covered so badly burned that it was
impossible to identify one from the
other.
nuuicwo uuu miss tvauace nau
occupied an upper berth at the forward
end of the car and were wrapped in
the bed clothes. There was no outcry
from this berth while the work of res
cuing the injured was progressing and
it was supposed both occupants
were killed instantly. The rapid
ity with which the flames
caught head and spread through the
car caused no little surprise. It is not
known whether they caught from the
lamps or stove, but it is supposed from
the rapidity with which they spread
that they caught from the lamps.
Twenty passengers more or less seri
ously injured were taken from the
wreck.
Physicians were brought from Brain
erd on a special train. The injured were
brought back to this city and taken to
the .Northern Pacific hospital as soon
as possible and were given the best of
care and medical attention. The hos
pital is one of the best in the United
States and the injured will not suffer
from want of care. Mrs. Andrews*
stage name was “Nannie Wilkinson.’’

Florence Joy, chorus girl, severely
burned on the back and head, will prob

A Most Appalling Sight.
Conductor Ball, who was in charge
of the train, says the sight was the
most appalling of any he has ever seen.
The shrieks and moans of the women
could be heard half a mile
away. Miss Douglas when she was
brought from the car was literally en
veloped in flames, her hair being pn
fire. Many of the women were nude,
but were wrapped up as they were
taken out
Mr. Andiews rescued a little baby
and supposed his wife was safe. He is
wild with grief.
A Sioux City Girl.
Mrs. Andrews was a Sioux City girl,
her maiden name which she retained
on the stage being Nannie
Wilkinson. She had many warm
friends in th'» city and vicinity
who will be deeply grieved to
hear of her frightful death.
She was here with the Andrews
Opera company last June, appearing
as Lady Allcash in “Fra Diavolo.”
RESULT OF CARELESSNESS.
A Train Crashes Into a Hone Car In
Chicago.
Chicago, Jan. 15.—A surface railway
crossing horror occurred last night at
Forty-seventh street on the Chicago,

LAST OF THE SHINNECOCKS.
The Only Survivor of the Tribe Gone
the Happy Hunting Grounds.
Southampton, N. Y., Jan, 15,-Wil.
liam Bunn, the last full-blooded Indian
on the Shinnecock reservation, died in
his little cabin on the borders of th«
once happy hunting grounds of his
tribe in the Shinnecock Hills. The
old brave had been stricken with grip,
complicated with pneumonia, 'llunn
was a direct descendant of the ruling
family in the Shinnecock tribe. He
always maintained his independence
and kept alive the traditions of his
forefathers. He was among the leaders
of the remnant of his race who sought
by an appeal to the president to have
the Shinnecock Hills restored to the
reservation. He believed the hills
had been wrested from his tribe
unlawfully by the white man.
When the town of Southampton cele
brated the 24Uth anniversary of its set
tlement in June, 1890, Bunn was the
only member of the tribe of Indians on
ihe island who could construct a wig.
warn. He answered the appeal of the
committee and built a typical Indian
lodge in the center of the village, and
at the celebration he and his cousin
were present, making their head,
quarters in the wigwam as the last
representatives of the once powerful
race.
The Shinnecock Indians were good
I sailors. Many of them became whale
men. Bunn had made several success
ful voyages on -whaling ships sailing
out of Sag Harbor. The tribe was
nearly depleted a few years ago by the
sudden blowing up of the steamer Cir
cassian, stranded on the beach off
Southampton. The Indians were em
ployed by the wreckers on board the
steamer, when a storm broke connec
tions with the shore and left them to
perish.

ITI't l-UUNUHT TRUST.
The Loading Foundries In the Hands ol
British Capitalists.
New York, Jan. 15.—The articles of
incorporation of the American Type
Founders’ association, the name by
which the English syndicate combina
tion of type foundries will be known,
have been drawn up and will be sub
mitted to a meeting of the promoters
in a couple of days. Application for a
charter will then be made to the secre
tary of state at Trenton, the laws of
New Jersey being more elastic in the
matter of corporations than those of
this state. By February 15, if not ear
lier, the transfers of the various prop
erties to the purchasers will have taken
place, and the leading type foundries
of the new world will be in the hands
of British capitalists. It is said that
within a month after the latter getting
control changes will have been made
in the different factories in the inter

the throwing of hundreds of experi
enced men out of employment.
DISCUSSING A 'GREAT CANAL,
An Inside Waterway From New York ta
Philadelphia Proposed.
New York, Jan. 15.—The New York
board of trade and transportation list
ened today to a discussion of the mer
its of a proposed canal from Raritan
bay to Delaware river to afford an in
side waterway between New Y’ork and
Philadelphia. Thomas Yartindale said
it was the first link in a system which
would practically connect New York
with Florida by an inland route. He
pointed out the importance of an un
disturbed system of communication
and said that New York would save
nearly $3,000,000 a year in its coal bill
by the cheapening of transportation bv
50 cents per ton. The estimated cost of
the work, exclusive of the right of
way, was placed at $13,000,000.
Erastus Wiman spoke strongly in fa
vor of the project. Thirty-six manag
ing directors of the board were elected.
