VU-.N.NA , May 12 1 a. m. A
strange piece of gossip is going round
court circles relative ti > the sudden
outburst of emotion by the Princess
Stephanie during the marriage cere
mony Tuesday. Tlie htory in effect is
that the princefts , who was brought up
in strict bcclusion , visited Paris at tlie
time of tlie recent exposition in com
pany with her , and that she traveled
incognito and stopped at an unpreten
tious hotel.
The princess met a young American
who fell in love with her , and took
an opportunity in the exposition , when
her father was temporarily absent , to
declare his affection and request per
mission to appeal to her father. The
princess lied from him , and subsequent
inquiries deu-loped to the American
lover the identity of his innamorata ,
and although he refrained from again
attempting to address her , lie followed
her to Brussels and then to Vienna ,

BURNING THE WIRES.
The Big Western Union Switch
Board Catches Fire. .
About 10:30 : o'clock last night
trouble commenced with thewircs at the
Western Union telegraph office , from
the repeated series of electrical
flislies : , that began C-arly in the even
ing. A few minutes before 11 o'clock
Mr. F. M. Crittenton , the night chief
operator , discovered that the back
part of the large switch board , situ
ated in the north end of the office ,
was on fire. Mr. Crittenton , know
ing that water would but create
greater havoc among the wires , tried
to beat the fire out with his coat , but
not being entirely successful , was
obliged to take off tlks batteries and
used water , which extinguished the
blaze. In doing this ho burned his
hands in a painful , but not serious
manner.
The wires running to the switchboard
ere nearly all burned and their cover
ings destroyed. This very seriously
impedes the business of the office and
prevented the receipt of the press re
ports , the BEE being an equal suffer
er with the other morning publica-
tions. The damage to the switch
board was considerable , and it will
probably be several hours before the
burned wires can be replaced. Three
employes of the office are engaged in
repairing the wires as fast as possible.
The cause of the lire , undoubtedly ,
was the close proximityof two battery-
wires , which conducted the lightning
into the oflice and set the parafnic
coating of the wires on fire. Mr.
Crittenton is entitled to great praise
for his presence of mind and courage
in checking the fire before it assumed
more serious proportions. He was
ably assisted in his efforts by Mr.
Curry , who aided in extinguishing the
flames.
A JOURNALISTS' SUICIDE.
Voluntary Death of Archie N ,
De Voe , hy Morphine , at
St , Joseph , Mo ,
About six months ago a fine-look
ing man named Archie N. De Voc ,
hailing from New York state , was in
the city for several weeks , contem
plating the starting of a Sunday morn
ing paper. Heathen formed a number
of acquaintances who will be pained
to learn of his untimely death in St.
Joseph on Sunday last. The follow
ing account of the suicide , from the
St. Jo Gazette , will bo read with a sad
interest-
Archie N. De Voe , a traveling so
licitor of the JIannib.il Clipper-Her
ald , suicided at the jfcicou House , cor-
eir of Third and Jule streets , lost
iunday night. He registered at the
otel , and after sitting around awhile
10 retired. Saturday morning he got
p , paid his bill and was not su
gain until late in the evening. It
vis : noticed he had been drinking
ix-tty freely. He retired Sunday
light , and had been asleep some time
vhen one of the gentlemen connected
nth the house , suspecting that Munc
hing was the matter , looked over the
ransom and saw that De Voe was
ircathing quite heavily. He got
.own and went into the room and at-
cmptcd to arouse him , but was unable
AJ do so.
Dr. Geiger was summoned and re-
ponded immediately. When ho ar-
ived the soul of the unfortunate man
lad passed out into eternity. The
oroiicr summoned a jury consisting
> f Henry Nsish , S. Ensy , Conrad
lesson , E. Hawkins , D. 1 * . Walling-
orct-and 0. E. Fox , and proceeded
o inquire into the case. During the
xamination of the witnesses it was
lev-eloped that Do Voe purchased ten
grains of morphine from H. M. Gar-
iclis. When he went in and asked
or it Mr. Garliclis asked him if he
vis ; accustomed to the drug. De Aroc
epliud , "that's my business. " Ten
grains , in as many different papers ,
vcrc then put up for him and he went
iway. It is supposed that he poured
ill of them together and took the
[ iiantity in one dose.
The deceased was originally from
linira , N. Y. The following note to
lis father was found lying on the ccn-
rc table :
J. A. Do Voc , Hliiiira , N. Y. :
MY DEAR FATHKK : Life is a failure
vith me. Good-bye. Affectionately ,
Anon N. Du VOE.
The dead brother-in-law
man was a - -
) f Gov. Itobinson , of New York , and
it one time was his private secretary ,
ile had a letter of recommendation
'nun the governor in his pocket. He
ivas considered a very brilliant writer
and an energetic man. His face bears
'rcquent marks of trouble and rem-
i.intsof bacchanalian revels. He 1m
written many tender and touching
words about others who have performed
: hcsame r.iah act as this , his last. To
lim , as to all newspaper men , Imtli
: he shadows and sunlight of life were
own. The shadows were upon him ;
: hcy proved too dark. It is to be
uiped that he has passed to a brighter
clime.

THE OKECO-TUKKISH QUESTION.
Whilst iiriiondon and Paris fears
predominate that Greece will not ac

that a local war will break out , it is
believed in Berlin that she will yield
to , the pressure of the powers , and
that there will be an early conclusion
of the Greco-Turkish question.
KOUMANIA AM ) THE ) WKRS.
According to a Berlin letter , rc-
ceived by the "Continental Corres
pondence , " the recognition of Rou-
mania by Austria-Hungary , Germany
and Russia , was made on the bisis ; of
a special understanding come to by
these powers. Their mutual good"
feeling and confidence are now such as
has not existed for years.
SPAIN.
There has been a renewal of the
ilisturbances to the public peace and
security. On the evening of the 2d
of April a petard placed oirthc bal
cony of the palace of the duke of
Santona exploded , happily without
injuring anyone. Two prominent
persons of advanced republican views
have recently expressed an opinion
that their party should be thoroughly
organized , in order to be able to give
due expression to its sentiments when
the time came. They say ; "When our
leaders Zorilla , Figueras , and Signor
Margall shall have agreed as to the
steps necessary to the regeneration of
our party , we shall then spread fire
right and left in Madrid , Saragossa ,
Barcelona , Valencia , Cordova , Seville ,
Cadix and Valla lolid. We hope that
the whole of Andalusia will then rise
like a man to supjwrt the revolution
ary movement. " M. Zorilla himself '
refuses to leave Paris ; whither tlie
committee of the republican propa
ganda sends him funds to be employed
in revolutionary purposes. The cab
inet of Sagasta preserves an attitude of
passive toleration towards these in
trigues , and it would bo premature to
assert that it does not possess energy
enough to crush any attempt at rev
olution.
THE XKW C/AK.
The Emperor Alexander III. has
recently not left the palace , but the
empress drives out daily. The em
peror was to repair to-day to a hunt
ing seat twoiniles fromSt. Petersburg ,
where he will remain sometime.
I'KEUAUTIONS IN VIENNA.
The Austrian police and the muni
cipal authorities of Vienna have been
cautioned by tlie government to exer
cise a close watch over the manufac
ture and sale of explosive materials.
KNCLISII .SPECULATIONS.
Attention has been recently called
to the danger of a speculative mania
setting in in England. In London at
present a number of doubtful specu
lations are announced and the respect
able English newspapers begin to pub
lish list tables to put. investors on
their guard. In the year 1845 The
Times , then at the head of the Lou-
don commercial press , inserted in its
advertising sheet whole columns of
the prospective. ? of swindling compa
nies , yielding probably an income of
from 4000 to 0000 , while in the ed
it irial part of the paper the public
was advised in the most emphatic
terms not to support them. There
was again no such speculative mania
till 1873 when there was a repetition
of what had occured thirty years
before. Now again , after the
lapse of seven "lean years"
warning paragraphs make their appear
ance. That this mania would come
might have been anticipated. It had
already appeared in Paris and was sure
to cross the channel. In a private
commercial correspondence an inter-
sting list is given of the undei takings
nnounccd within the List three
lonths in London. Thu number of
liese is seventy-three , not induing a
ank , which has placedopposite to it a
nark of interrogation. The amount
f capital of these schemes varies from
' 11,917 to millions of pounds sterling ,
'hero are two schemes with a cap-
tal of tivo millions four with
i capital of one million. In 23 cases
he capital is under 100,000. There
re 14 gold mines and two silver
nines. The list Jneludes tramways.
V datejcoflee company , insurance com-
Kinies , dairies and land credit insti-
utions and one company "Cartagena
a Union" , mill with 100,000 , Open
nines and railways in Spain , India ,
Canada , Vcnzuela , itc. , will IMS the
hief field of activity. The share cap-
tal of the whole will amount to 18- ,
! 51,917. In this list , loans t (
'oreign countries , reaching rail-
vays &c. are not included.
HE CONVERSION OF THE HUNOAIUAN
COLD ISENTE.
A complete arrangement has been
xrrived at bet ween the I fungai-ian gov
ernment and the Rothschild and Credit
Anstalt groups with regard to all de-
: ails of this transaction. Tlie nonii-
lal amount conveited is forty million _
xninds sterling , approximately 405 '
nillion goldflorins. . In this way the
six i > er cent. Hungarian gold rente ,
which was issued at the time of Hun
jary's greatest financial want , has beer
converted into one at four i > er cent
Hungary thus makes the attempt i <
ittain at one bound the same credit 01
the money market as the status of
western Europe. The future will show
whether these anticipations are justi
fied. It is expected that the actual
operation will be commenced in the
middle of May.
THE SKW DANU1JB H. S. NAVIGATION CO.
It is now reported from Bucharest
that the projected steamship company
ilieutiout-'d iu our la&b number U to
liavo n capital of fifty million francs.
The syndicate consists of several Ga-
latz linkers and shipping firms and
some French and English capitalists.
The company would also open up
steamship communication on the trib
utaries of the lower Danube the
Pruth , the Sereh ( and tJie Aluta , and
extend its activity to the sea coast of
the Dobrudja. The Roumanian giv-
ornmeiit has declared
that the compa
ny would not have to reckon on finan
cial support from the State.
ITALY AND TRIPOLI.
The "continental correspondence"
learns from Genoa that the war-ship 3i i
"Rapido" will bo fitted out in a few
days in the arsenal of Spcria at the
expense of a commercial company in
Milan , which intends fsundingseveral
trading jwsta in northern Africa , and
be diapatched'to Bengali in Tripoli.
