FORMER WIFE THOUGHT
SHE WAS CARRIED
Suit of Mixer vs. Mixer Decided
Against Judge's Ideas of Right
and Wrong of Case.
WOMAN VICTIM OF DECEPTION.
Letter of the Law Makes It Neces
sary to Giro Judgment Against
I'rrson Who Was Ap
parently Injured.
nnrrmjc special.
San Francisco, Cnl.. May It "I don't
blame ju at all. lire. Mixer. I blame tbls
man whom you thought your husband. The
law says ho was not. Your remedy lies In
a suit for payment for' your servicer us his
housekeeper during all the time you have
erroneously believed yourself his wife."
Bo, Judge Hebbard was reluctantly obliged
by the law to Rive a decision for the plain
tiff In the case of George II. Mixer vs. Net
tie Mixer.
Practically no attempt nas made to shade
the testimony of the defendant, but, un
luckily for her, It proved the case against
her, though It showed that she had been the
victim of deception.
The Mixers were married In ISSi living
together until March 9, 1SS. when the wire
obtained a divorce on the ground of her
hushanrt's cxtrime cruelty. Mixer went
East and. as he boasted in letters to friends,
"had a fine time with tho Ken York Four
Hundred."
Snusht Former tifc.
After a few months, hoecr. ho .etumed
to San Francisco, hunted up his former
wife, declared that, despite his wanderings,
rhe was the only one he loved and urged
her to marry him again. After much per
suasion she consented, but urged him tc.
wait a few months until the year should
have elapsed. He Insisted on a trip to Ne
vada and a "Rem marriage," and as an In
ducement promlred to deed her half his
property. This pledge, honever, he did net
keep.
When a start for Nevada was finally made
Mixer took a circuitous route, going nrst :o
Btockton and then to Sacramento, traveling
under the name of Fuller.
According to Mrs. Mixer's testimony, he
Induced her to tuke some medicino that
dazed nnd bewlidered her. After a few
hours' Journey fr-jm Sacramento the couple
got off at a small village which Mixer eaio.
was In Nevada. He escorted her to a hotel
nnd left her, as he said, to go after a
license.
"And that Is all I remember," said Mrs.
Mixer, "until he took me to the train for
the return trip, assuring me that we had
been married. Often afterwards I nsked for
another marriage, but he always Insisted
that what had taken place was wedding
enough for him."
Gaie Up IXcr Home.
In May of last year, on Mixer's persua
sion, Bhe gavo up her cottage at No. 37
Beaver etreet to tako charge of his lodging
house at No. 332 Btockton street. Finally,
tiring cf her, he declared that she was
merely a hired servant and applied for a
writ to restrain her from Interfering In any
way with the affairs of the hcuse.
"The evidence of the lady herwlf." said
Judge Hebbard, "shows that she did not go
far enough fron Sacramento to get into
Nevada, and even If a contract marriage
took place it would not hold In this State."
A suggestion that the lady should have
until next Friday to remove her effect
from the lodging-house called forth an ob
jection from Mixer which angered the
Judge.
n,e2j-ere' f.lr!'.' he said sternly. "Just let
me find you trying to play any 'rush acts
on this woman and I'll make an order de
claring her a tenant in the house and only
to be put out after due notice and by formal
proceedings In ejectment. I don't want to
near anything from you about putting her
out on the street. Now, understand that."

HELD ON KIDNAP CHARGE.
Little Katie Finn Says Stranger
Tried to Abduct Her.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
New York, May 21. Ludwig Mercer, who
is under arrest on a charge of attempting
to kidnap 4-ycar-old Katie Finn of No. 11"
Twelfth street, Jersey City, was arraigned
In tho Jersey City Police Court.
The prisoner refused to give his address
end said that he had no intention of kid
naping the girl. Katie, he said, reminded
him of a child of his own.
Tho child, who Is pretty and fair-haired,
was asked by Justice Hoos if she had eier
seen Mercer before.
"Yes," answered the tot: "on my side
walk. He said to mo: 'Hello, little girl; I
have come to take you away.' I then ran
to my mamma."
A number of love letters were found on
Mercer. One began with "My Darling
3lose," and another with "My Sweetheart
-Annie." One of the envelopes was ad
dressed to C W. Kahter. 7"o. 6 Henry
street. Brooklyn. The police believe that
he wrote letters to himself. He admitted
his name was Kahter, but refused his ad
dress, except to say that ho was now liv
ing; In Hoboken. A slip of paper was found
on Mercer, or Kahter, with the address No
651 First street. Hoboken. Ths police think
the man lives there
Court Officer Doyle recognized In the
prisoner a man who was arrested some
ionr months ago on a similar charge. Mer
cer admitted this, and was held for fur
ther examination.
MINERS FIND A NEW CAVE.
Stalactites in California Cavern
Are Highly Sulphurate!.
SEFDDLIC SPECIAL.
Mokelumns HU1, Mar 31. A beautiful sub
terranean cave was discovered In runnlne a
funnel at the Iowa Consolidated mine at
Rich Gulch a few day ago. The cave Is
pearly 209 feet underground, and almost
IW feet In from the mouth of the tunnel.
No sign of the cavers appeared as the
work" progressed !n the tunnel until Satur
day, when the miners found that the last
round of blasts had blown out all the face
of the tunnel, making a clear opening Into
the cave. A stream of the clearest witer
:wns flowing out through the tunnel.
There seems to be a subterranean leak In
the ctve, as every attempt to reach bottom
by Bounding has thus far proved futile.
The cave Is In limestone. As far as ex
plored It Is about thirty feet long, nine wide
end four high. The walls are covered with
highly sulphurated stalactites showing all
i' the colors of the rainbow. It contains
three chambers, each divided by thin walls
not more than three Inches In thickness.
In one of these Is a homed stalagmttlc
Jlgure, corresponding In form to the goner
ftiir Accepted conception of a devil.

cealed therein from view, were picked up
In front of the cook's tent nt the Halsey
street grounds, where they were wistfully
sniffing the sivory odora which emanated
fiom within, where the breakfasts of the
show hands were being prepared. As they
had had nothing to cat for twenty-four
hours their fe'lings can be better Imagined
than described.
They were In a condition closely border
ing on utter exhaustion when Policeman
Moran hove along, and, learning first of all
of tho craving state of the Inner youth,
shooed the vsnturcsome young tourists to
an adjacent beanery without waiting to
hear more. There the two boys stowed
away sinkers, doughnuts, pies and other
quick fillers, washed dewn with unlimited
quantities of coffee In a manner which
would have put the ostriches and elephants
near by In a species of blue funk.
Admired tb Performers.
Loquaciousness, superinduced by that feel
ing of satisfied fullness known only to the
small boy with sturdy gsstronomlc proclivi
ties, succeeded tears and weariness. The
boys told the good-natured policeman that
they were Harry and Louis Smith, 12 and
10 years old, brothers, and the sons of an,
Elizabeth painter, living at North Eliza
beth. When the circus left Elizabeth, the
boys, both of whom are bright and well
dressed little chaps, viewed the going of
the show with more than the passing re
gret manifested by the other boys of the
town. During the stay of the circus in
their town they bad made fast friends with
a doorkeeper, and even one of the per
formers. These people, both natives of
Elizabeth, took a fancy to the two boys.
Harry and his brother evinced a feeling of
despondency which ripened gradually into
a venturesome desire when they learned
that the circus had gene to Brooklyn.
Harry ha1 received a quarter earlier In the
day from an indulgent uncle, ana while pa

j still being asleep, the two boys silently left
tne nouse ana sroie away.
Found the Circus Ground.
They reached Jersey City all right and
crossed the ferry to New Tork. After much
wandering the brothers finally reached the
bridge, which they crossed, and then by
aimless stages finally arrived In vicinity of
the circus grounds. The sight of land by
the sailors of Columbus did not cause great
er Joy than the tents looming up In the sun
shine did to the weary and footsore boys.
They redoubled their gait and forced their
tired limbs Into a run. But a grievous d s
appolntment awaited them, for they were
unable to find their friends of the show.
They were chased from place to placi by
the attendants and the peanut- frankfurter
and popcorn men. at whose wares they cast
covetous and menacing glances.
When discovered by tho policeman they
were curled up against some boxes In the
rear of the culinary department. They pre
sented a wan and woebegone appearance,
and would say nothing save that they were
hiini-v. After feeding the runaways, the
policeman took them to the Ralph avenue
munlcated with and the boys' parents noti
fied. Pending their arrlvtl. the two boys
were taken to the Gates Avenue Court ind
charged technically with vagrancy.
These circuses are ruining things for th
little ones." said Magistrate Furlong In i
half serious, commiserating tone, after he
had listened to the story of the prisoners'

PRINCE CAUSES EXCITEMENT.
Refusal to Receive a Deputation of
Germans Created a Disturbance.
SPECIAL BT CABLE
London, May 3L The visit of Prince Hen
ry of Prussia to Dublin and his refusal to
receive a deputation of Germani, created
a rumpus. It Is said, which shows no signs
of abating.
The address of the Germans Included the
signature of Count von Stoiberg and two
well-known German artists, while the pro
fessor of German at Trinity College, Dublin,
acted as chairman.
One of the members of the delegation is
quoted as saying:
"One would naturally have expected that,
as In New Tork, one of the first thoughts
of the Prince and his Captains would have
been to shake hands with countrymen dom
iciled In Ireland."
The Irish Times, the Government organ,
expresses the hope that some satisfactory
explanation will be forthcoming, for, "on
the faco of it. tha Prince's treatmmt of
his fellow-countrymen compares very un
favorably with the almost undignified affa
bility he displayed during his visit to the
United States."
