It lias boon learned that a woman
was responsible for the downfall of
George W. Hyde, who Is under nrrest
for embezzling $50,000 from the firm of
Martin, Thomson & do., of New Or
leans, Ln. It I alleged she is Nellie
McDowell, the decoy of the notorious
Santiago Murphy, whoo exploits in
Mexico two years ago were the talk of
two nations. Just as Murphy embez
zled $75,000 from a banking Institution
in Mexico ln order to provide royally
for this enchanting woman, It is Bald
that Hyde also appropriated the money
of his employers on her account.
Hyde had boon a highly respected
employe of Martin, Thomson & Co. for
upwards of two years. During most of
this time he remained faithful to his
young wife and bright baby girl, but n
pretty face and gay surroundings fas
cinated him. Soon his income, which
had been nmple during the days when
he knew but one homo, became too
small for his expensive habits. He re
sorted to the old story borrowed from
GEORGE V. HYDE,
his employers, with the hope of re
turning the sum, but this hope was
never realized. The amounts Increas
ed and then taking became more fre
quent. Recklessness followed tempta
tion, and he continued his practice un
til suspicion was aroused. He knew
that detectives wore following him and
finally exports were put to work upon
his books. Discovery was certain. lie
remained in New Orleans even after
the books had been given to the care of
the experts, and then left quietly,
adopting a new name and a new city
for his residence. Ills arrest in Mem
phis followed.

were married at high noon on a boat
three miles out from shore, and then

groom going afoot the entire distance
and his bride walking over fifty miles.
They were married at sea to avoid tho

A Nurrutlio t Life on the llt'lyliti of

One day a worthy Kulu housewife
rami' out from her cooking, aiul.staiid

emptied a pan of boiling water Into tho
rank herbage growing below It fell,
splash, on the back of a sleeping leop
ard, who Jumped perpendicularly into
the nlr as high as the roof of the hut.
What might have happened next? Who
can say? Hut the astonished woman
dropped tlm pan with a clang upon th-
rock, and the leopard took ono leap
down hill. The pan followed, and tho
leopard's downward leaps became
longer and swifter as the pan bounded
nfU)r It from rock to rock.
When last seen, the leopard hml Just
nchloved a leap of about 330 feet to tho
very bottom of tho ravine, tlunisands
of feet below, nnd the pan had whirled
about GOO feet over It on the opposite
side. The leopard would have eaten
the old woman with pleasure; but tho
pan which first scalded half the hide off
him and then bounded clanging In IiIb
wake from the top of the Himalayas
to the plains below was something
which he could not face.
A ROMANTIC MARRIAGE.
Senator Mark I lamia's only son, Dan
It. Hnnua, hns recently taken unto
himself another wife, and what adds
to the Interest of the situation Is that
both his now wife and himself nro

their former conjugal partners ex
tremely unpleasant. We quote, this
account of tho clicumstances surround

The married life of Dan Hnnua and

neglect. A decree was granted In her
favor June 23. Dan Hanna settled nn
nmount of money on his wifo out of
court and was ordered by the court to

Ckjo Like 11 Ilriitmi.
Tho contest for the Fair millions
now being waged In tho California
courts, together with the remarkable
events loading up to It, partakes of
rhc nature of a marvelously Interesting
Jramu. Fresh lnterist is being added
by now developments.
Iti the lltst place tho life of Senator
Fair reads like a cleverly wrought ro
mance. Ho went to San Francisco In
tho year IS 19, penniless. Donning a
red shirt and overalls, he went Into
the mountains of California, and dug
for gold. He found It, In modest hauls
at first, but enough to encourage him
and win the hand jI Miss Roonoy, a
rosy-checked girl who had promised
to marry him when he struck It rich.
Then he went to Virginia City and
formed a partnership with three other
men. This firm, known as Mackay,
Fair, Flood & 0'Hrien, bought stock
onco worth $1 ,200.000 for $80,000, nnd
out of this mnde their millions. The
firm wns dissolved ln 1880 and Fair
took his wlfo and children from the
two-story cottage at Vlrglnln City to a
palaco at San Francisco. One son,
Charles L. Fair, married n womau of
whom his father disapproved, nnd wns
disowned, but not disinherited. One
son jlled. Miss Theresa Fair, tho older
daughter, married Herman Oelrlchs,
of New Yoik. Virginia Fair, the baby
of the family, last year married Wil
liam K. Vanderbllt, Jr., and followed
her sister Into New York swelldom.
Mrs. Fair died at San Francisco ln
1893. She had been legally separated
from the then senator In 1880.
Tho body of Senator James G. Fair
wns hardly decently put away ln tho
grave before tho scramble for tho mil
lions he left began. Tho estato was
worth $40,000,000.
In his first will Senator Fair be
queathed $123,000 to charity. To his
sister nnd two brothers ho left an ag
grogato of $320,000. After making a
few more bequests amounting to
$500,000, the residue was left to a
board of trustees. Tho Income of tho
estate was to bo divided between tho
threo children, and tho property was
not to bo finally divided until tho death
of tho children. Tho next clause caus
ed all tho troublo. It provided that
any woman who might come forward
and lay claim to part of tho estato
should receive $50. As a punishment
for Charles, who had mnrrled ngalnst
his father's will, there was a clause
cutting off hie children from participa
tion In tho inheritance. Charles Imme
diately prepared to enter suit to set
aside tho will. Before ho could do so,
the original will was stolen.
Then Mrs. Nettle It. Craven, a do
mure, middle-aged school teacher of
Sacramento, stepped on tho stage. Sho
had been a friend of the senator, nnd
produced a will written with a'pencll,
which, sho said, he had mado while
visiting her. Tho will was like tho
other, except that the obnoxious pro
vision relating to ChnrleB' children
was absent. This nindo tho will nc
icptablo to Charles, and with the con
sent of his sisters tho will was ac
cepted as genuine by tho heirs.
Seizing her opportunity, Mrs. Craven
then announced calmly that Sonntor
Fair was more than friend to hor that
ho was her husband. Sho brought wit
nesses to substantiate hor claim. Tho
holrs, relying upon tho clauso giving
alleged widows and orphans $30 each,
did not contest this point with her.
They admitted tho truth of her claim.
Then Mrs. Craven, having pavod tho
way so skillfully, filed deeds, ante-

dating flio pencil will, written appar
ently by the same hand, conveying to
her, his bolounl wife, San Francisco
property worth millions. Tho Fair
heirs had accepted her pencil will na
genuine, and had acknowledged her us
I hi; senator's widow. Tho governor of
the state vouched for her and thu pen
cil will If the will was genuine, bo
were the deeds! Mis, Craven's con
test went to u Jury which could not
agree. It stood eight to four In her
favor. The Judge decided against bur.
Mn, Craven did not give up. Sho oon
tluned the light tignlust tremendous
odds. She appealed her case and It Is
still In the courts. The latest develop
ment Is her bringing forwutd a wltnvss
who swears tlutt Mrs. Ciaven Introduc
ed him to the senator as her husband
nnd the senator acknowledged tlm re
lationship. The California supremo court hns
Just rendered lis decision In tho np
peal of the executors of the Fair will
reversing the decision or tho lower
court and sustaining the trust clause.
Tho trust clause pi mldcd that tho en
tire estate should leinaln In the hnnds
of the executors, each of tho holrtt to
receive u stated Income for life, and
that any heir contesting the clause
should be cut off wit limit a cent. Su
perior Judge Slack nil d that tho
trust clause was Invalid. This decis
ion has now been icveised.
The supieine's court's decision Is In
the nature of a victory for Mrs. Craven
Fair. It Is likely (hat the Fair holrs,
deprived of the control of the millions
left by the senator, will now fall back
upon the pencil will offer by Mrs. Cra
ven niul cudenwir to prow that It was
the last will of Senator Fair.
To cany out this progiam It will bo
necessary to compromise with Mrs.
Craven bv recognizing tlm validity of
the deeds whlih she holds to property
which, she nlleges, was transferred to
hor by her putntlvo husband.

Mrs. Madeline Miller of New York
city, In u suit for $30,000 dnmages
against her husband, Eugene I). Miller,

According to Mrs. Miller, she and hor
husband, whose family live In Stam
ford, were mnrrled April 1, 1890. They
have no children. Sho says thnt she
became possessed of considerable real
estate and that sho and her husband
were living In a house belonging to her
In Flushing, L. I , last October.
"It was the afternoon of Oct. 23,"
says Mrs. Miller, "that my husband
entile homo and showed me a telegram
to the effect that my brother, William
J. Shaw, had been Injured In a railroad
MADELINE MILLER,
nccldent nt Riverside, Conn. Ho said
that my brother was at the point of
death nnd that I would have to make a
hurried trip If I wanted to bee William
before he died."
Mrs. Miller says that, having no rea
son to doubt the genuineness of the
dispatch, she accompanied her hiihbau.l
to Riverside, arriving thoro at night. A
carriage was In waiting.
"Eugene said It would tnko us to the
hospital where my brother was lying,"
snyB Mrs. Miller. "Wo drove In th
darkness for a long distance till wo
came to n building. My husband went
in, nnd reappeared with two nurses,
who, he said, would tako mo to tho
room whero William was lying. The
nurses took mo to the room on the
llrst floor and at once locked the door,
mnklng mo a prisoner."
Mrs. Miller stntes that when sho de
manded that her husband be sent for
sho wns told that he had returned to
New York, nnd that sho had been con
fined to tho Institution by his orders
nnd thnt of Dr. Harncs. Sho protested
nnd demanded to bo released. Tho
nurses, however, compelled her to don
a night robn and tried to force hor to
take a nnrcotlc.
"I was kept thero for eight days,"
continued Mrs. Miller. "Tho nurses
continually kept guard over me. I was
mado witness of tho most shocking
things, nnd wns nnnoyed and threat
ened by tho Inmates of the asylum. Dr.
Harncs came to my room on Oct. 29 and
told mo thnt I would havo to sign a pa
per, tho contents of which I did not
know. I again demanded thnt ho give
mo my liberty, but ho threatened to
havo me placed In a strnltjacket, In
Bolltnry confinement, nnd fed on bread
and water if I did not sign. Helng In
fear of my llfo I finally signed tho
paper. I was then permitted to go
about tho grounds, but always under
gunrd. All means of eacnpo wero taken
from mo. Windows wero nailed and
doors wero locked.
"I learned that Dr. Harncs nnd tho
nurses wero going to a theater In
Stamford, Nov. 2. So I determined to
mako an effort to escnpo at 10 o'clock
that night. 1 mnnaged to get hold of
n hook, with which I removed tho nails
with which tho windows of my room
had been fastened. My window was
two stories from the ground, but when
I got It open I mnde n Jump, falling to
tho ground and hurting myself badly.
I mannged, however, to drag my way
three miles to Stamford. I reached tho
homo of friends half nn hour after mid
night. I stayed In concealment thero
or a day, attending to my Injuries.
Then ono of tho men of tho family
drove mo over tho border of Connecti
cut Into Now York state. I then camo
to New York, whero I havo been ever
since."
Mrs. Miller says that during tho tlmo
of her confinement In tho asylum she
was compelled to nh.soclato with per
sons mentally nnd physically mulcted.
Her health has been groatly affected as
a result of her experiences. Sho
charges that her husband sought to re
strain her In the asylum so that ho
could obtain n divorce. After hor es
cape, sho nlleges, Dr. Harnos Informed
hor husband, who searched for hor
with defectives. Sho alleges thnt sho
has been deprived of her real proporty
mid of personal belongings, valued at
$5,000. Sho has had to expend largo
sums for medical attendance slnco her

Mrs. Miller told her attorney, David
M. Nciiborgor, Esq., that sho had met
hor husband nfter her escapo In a law
ofllco In Now York city, where, sho
sayH, ho laughed at hor reproaches,
Sho says ho told her friends that sho

they refused to bellove this, sho says,
ho remained away from them.
