Killing of Cnnovas.
New York, Aug 1C The anarchists of
this city held a meeting in Clarendon Hall
tonight to rejoice over the death ot the
Spanish prime minister, Ganovax del

briile. Including Emma Goldman and the
particular net which gathers around her,
were present, and for two hours they
glorlf'ed tbf- assassin's act, -and pro
claimed it an Inspired stroke, that had
rid the world of a tyrant. Fifty police
men and a dozen detectives were on hand
bccauc it rumor that a number of
Spaniards would try to break up the
meeting.
There was no disturbance, however,
and the only thing they had to do was
to stand around and smile while the
irrepressible Miss Goldman abused them
and the men had insulted anarchy by
sending them to the meeting.
A lot of Socialists managed to sneak
in and distribute hundreds of copies ot
their organ, containing an article demand
ing the assassination of Canovas. The
audience of COO responded to an appeal
for $40 with which to pay the rent of
the hall by contributing $13.01.

Lewlslou, Me., Aug. 16.-ConsulerabIe
Interest is being manifested, particularly
in thin section of tbe State, iu the broach
ot promise suit which has been begun by
Arthur S. Melcher against Mrs. W. E.
lladloy. The defendant is a niece of-Cou-gressnran
Dingley, and a daughter ot Jere
i.ilah Dingley, a wealthy shoe dealerof this
place
The plaintiff is a prosperoui young busi
ness man, is handsome, free-hearted, and
very popular, und la well known at club
and track.
The allegations state that Mtsw Louise
M. Dingley, while formally engaged to
Arthur S. Melcher. married W. E. Dudley,
and Mr. Melcher values his wounded feel
ings at "525,000. It had loug been an
understood thing among the relatives and
friends of MLss Dingley and Mr Melcncr
that they were engaged. True, a fonn'il
announcement had never been made, but
wheu Mr. Melcher went so far as to fur
nish and bedeck his Druminoud street
house in anticipation of tt bride, the tongu-j
of gossip wagged fast and furiously.
But "there'd many a slip twlxt cup und
lip," and Mr, Melcher awoke one fine
morning to find Mis3 Dingley a bride, not
his, but anothei man's Then, as it backed
by a forty-horse-power engine, gossip be
gan afresh
After considerable investigation, it was
found that on July 2, at the
Parker House in Boston, Miss Dingley
hud been quietly married to W E Iiadley,
a rich California hotel proprietor, and th.it
papa and mama Dingley had given their
approval in the matter
Mh-s Dingley had hud plenty of suitoro,
but do one had ever heard ot "Williim

had
But In the middle of July Iiadley de
cided to pay a visit to Maine, his native
State- und did so. with tha subsequent
result's.
1 Everyone felt sorry for Melther, and
wondered what he would do about it, buc
as tlim passed and nothing happened, the
clattering tongue of gossip became quiet.
Like a thune'er-crash the rumor that
Melcher had consulted a lawyer about the
matter came to those interested. The
lawyer assured the jilted suitor that he
had excellent grounds for a suit, and the
result was that u lengthy and formidable
document, known an a writ, was served.
It set forth the alleged fact th-Jt Mr.
Member and Mis Dingley were engaged
to be married, the betrothal -havlnc taken
place on January 1 last; that the cere
inony was fixed for the middle ot June,
but at. the Appointed time the lady whs

marriage was postponed to June 29.
Now Mr. Melcher !s suffering from u

ue has had the real estate attached for
the said amount.
