VOLUME 72 NO. 82. MONDAY MOltNING, JULY lO. 1893. TEN CENTS A WEEK PRINCE GEORGE HAS TWO WIYES The Royal Bridegroom of Princess Mary Married Another Lady Five Years Ago.

FATHER OF TWO (IMLDHKN The Royal Marriage Act Makes First Marriage a fiullity. the A SKELETON IN A ROYAL CLOSET Th Jatt. of Prlncs Clarencfl Made it jieceary for Prince George to Korea His First Love Thu Abandoned Wife la the la lighter of a Batista Naval Officer of ftClKh Rank, but Her Identity is a Secret Jk Pram MhIIk." JjONDom, Jaly 9. Nothing has been sVuf publicly here, that is since the an nduncnieatot' the betrothal, about the painfully suppressed romance underly iog this latest and most pompous royal weddings. The most authentic version rests upon t.ne authority oi oue wtio nas gathered tbe ttuttn at first hand in Malta upon his word of Honor not to divulge tlie family name involten, is (bat between lur an years to, George was married by tttie Roman Cat hoi it; ritual to a daughter ol ttritiNU naval otheer ol nigh rank And that there are two children bv the marriage.

t( course the contracting parties knew that by the royal marriage act this was really no ma rriatre at all, hut the theory that Cieorue, who was then not in di rect line to the throne, counted on bis elder brother's marriage and having heirs, whea his irregular connection would he accorded a quasi sanction, such as wan given in the case of the Dake of Ctmbiidge and other collateral English rnoras. THE TRAGEDY OF IT ALL. the light, of this occurrence it may be seen bow infinitely more tragic wa the death of that elder brother, Clarence. than at the time appeared. It helps one now to comprehend all the strange, oh aenre vacillations and cross currents which marked the conduct of the royal family during the succeeding year with the protracted breaking up of the Marl borough rloone menage and the long, iiuilesa journeying abroad of George and Ins mother, the r'rincess oi wales.

Kven the past week has seen a curt, thei a note in the Ijduou papers cor recting, on behalf of the Princess of Wales, a mistaken report that she at tended the court ball ou the THE LADY FROM MALTA. fxr the current club reports that th "tad from Malta," as she is popu lar!) jt in London, and not only went to the Htoit b.ill on Tuesday night, but also made her apieursuce at tit. James' Palace, it perhaps deserves re peating as a part ot contemporary gos Sip. l)Ul I1CCU UUli 1V IUKOII IUU BCIIUUHIV. It is incredible in these days that the should be kept much longer; tliat it will litter by worn ox mouth through ail Koglanu is a matter ot course.

fJo far as ran be judged, up to the its effeet is to create a kind of sympathy for George, who seems to have stood out as long at, potisioje under the of course terrific pressure and" last succumbed only because the interest of the dynasty seemed imperatively to de jnand submission. Xf course, it is well nigh impossible to get a tangible corroboration of a tale of this character when so many powerful ones of the earth are vitally concerned in shutting it up. Enough solidity exist to the various phases of the story, however, to make it clear that it will have a definite place in thotte Chroniques ftcaudaleusea which constitute tiitid.hady aide of British dyoastic history. Probably the IxHuion papers of that date olwerved a discreet about Mrs Fitzherbert when Geortfe the Fourth wedded the ill omened CarxUne, but it is baidly without. that ihe Daily Aimt yesterday printed a long siecouut of this bygone in a.r rij.tr scandal, or that one of the papers on Wednesday nor(ig contained an obscure re 'ere nee Ha tL nameless beautiful lady from iMa'ta at (he Slate performance of the tfjpeia on the previous evening.

Powderly, general master workman he Knights of Labor, believes that such central body is bound to be formed sootier or later. Mr. Powderly was uepn iby a reporter before he left New York for recently. "My plan," he "is to sink the Federation and the Jv nights and all the present central labor bodies and form what I will call a great labor council composed of one or more representatives of very trade. "Now, regarding the trades, matters would be greatly simplified by this plats.

There would be no rival unions of the same trade. There would be do such thing, for instance, as a United Order of Carpenters or lite Brotherhood of Carpenters, or the Amalgtmated Carpenters There would be the plain Carpenters' which would embrace them all. jit would be the same with ajl other trades."

The Whole Baalnese of the Attack the Work or Mew York Interests, Who Resolved that One Trunk Line Was dodk for Philadelphia. To the Philadelphia Evening Star of Saturday tbe Times is indebted for the following: The surrender of the Penn sylvania.

Ponehkeepsie and Boston Kail way by the Keading Receivers is another step la tbe policy ot dismantling the Keadinir. This dismantlement was the underlying motive of tbe recent assault upon that system, resulting so disas trously to the credit of tbe country. The discarded branch "does not pay." It lost last year something over sixteen thousand dollars. That the Keading should abandon one of its lines to save sixteen thousand dollars is not within the realm of probability. But as a part of the dismantling business it is intel ligible.

This we presume will only end when the Keading has become a minor coal rood a feeder to the Pennsylvania or the New York Central. THE ATLANTIC CITY TRAFFIC. Philadelphians are interested in know ing how far tbe dismantling will pro ceed. A financial paper says that tbe Atlantic City traffic does not pay either road; that tbe Pennsylvania would lose money on its sea business but for the local trolley railway from Atlantic City to Long port. Tbe other day an effort was made to adjust matters by raising the fare to Atlantic City and reducing the time.

This may presage the surrender of the Atlantic City franchise, although as there is no pressure from New York interests in that direction it may be retained. THE LEHIGH VALLEY. Another financial journal in 8 series of articles contends that the Lehigh Val ey road is a burden to the Reading; that it is only able to pay at the expense of the Keading. This may be a feeler to prepare the way for the abandonment of tbe Lehigh Valley system We hope not. What strengthens this suspicion is tbe fact that New York railway mag nates are interested in a monopoly of the Buffalo terminals, and nnder their pa tronage tbe Lenigu Valley could he judi cially absorbed into some New York system.

When the assault was made upon tbe Keading system last summer the Lehigh lease was tbe first point of atiacK. i nere are sun a nu tuner oi law suits against the Keading to annul the Lnigu lease. THE GETTYSBURG II RANCH Is also attacked on the ground that it 'does not pay," and it is pointed ou that the famous battlefield can be reached by other lines as well as the Keading. It this is true, there is no reason in the interest of judicious econo mies why this should npt also be given back to the original owners. propo sition has been in public at least for the surrender of the Philadelphia Terminal system, although if the Reading is to be come a mere local coal carrying road there is no reason why it might not be sold or leased to tbe Traction or some other large company, or coal purposes the Broad and Callowbill epot is quite sufltcient.

Tbe Market St reet Terminal could be made a splen did centre for a city elevated railway, and the Traction peuple would make it a feature in local traiuc. CAUSE OF THE ATTACK ON THE READING, This dismantling of the Reading can only be viewed by Philadelphians with humiliation, especially as it is now con ceded that the whole business of the at tack on Reading was the work of New York interests who had resolved that one trunk line was enough for Philadelphia, and that any "ambitious" outlooks to other channels were not to be endured, New York has had its way. The New England connection is severed. Tbe West will endure tbe same fate. Phi dejphia bos been taught that in this great worK of national deveippment sue must taKe a smaii, tuna, ouscure place.

Philadelphia nub lie oninion is silent about it, and Philadelphia journalism. as represented by the Mremng Teh graph and the Press, accepts it in meek, if not witn satisfactory acquiescence. A SEVERE BLOW TO PHILADELPHIA. Whether the dismantling is over and tbe Keading is reduced to her proper place we are to have the policy of con fiscation, is as yet an un letermined roblem. Mr.

War bur ton, who cham pioned that expedient with fervor, has recently been silent. Mr. Warburton is a undoubtedly discovered that a proposal to throw one or two ban red millions of securities, largely held Philadelphia, iuto the sea merely to eatiity the exigencies of New York rail way pagpates, was not the surest way win tbe applause ol his reapers. As a rastic policy we may conceive it to ave been suspended rather than a ban doned. It would go far towards etill urther crippling the city.

But it is well not to be in a hurry. It is just to our JNew iork friends to say that they are patient people. They have given Phila delphia a blow trom which it will take years to recover, and there is no special necessity for repeating it. Realized Nearly 84.900.

About 6.50 o'clock Saturday morning a pistol shot was heard by Ianiel Herron, tbe bartender, who at once ran to tne room of the bell boys and met Lemon coming therefrom.

Lemon told Herron be had shot Coppin accidentally while fooling with i volver. Tbe bartender at once sent Lemon after Dr. Walsh, a guest of the hotel, and went to Coppin 'a room, where he tound tne colored laa sitting on tne end of tbe bed with his head banging down. He laid him back on the bed. He was still alive bnt unconscious.

Dr. Walsh, who promptly responded to Lemon's snmmons, found Coppin with pistol wonnd above tbe right eye. ex tending upward obliquely. he was bleeding profusely and died in about fifteen minutes from compression of tbe brain. Manager Wen rick was notified and telephoned to the police station, and Chief Cullen, with Sergeant Gibney and Officers James and Gehret, went to the hotel and took Lemon into custody.

Lemon gives this account of the un fortunate a flair: On Friday night four or hve ot tbe bell boys were playing cards in tbe corner ot tbe room until after midnight. Shortly after that time he leu te red tbe room, and feeling tired went to bed. Coppin was examining a nve barreied revolver, toole out tbe cylinder and cleaned it. Lemon watched him for a time and Coppin said there were no cartridges in tbe weapon. Lemon tben went to sleep.

On Saturday morn ing be 1 ore nnishing dressing Coppin took out the pistol from under his pillow aud placed it on top. Lemon had just returned from upstairs and was lyintc on the bed with his feet on the Hour. They euguged iu couversatuon and both reached for the revolver. Lemon secur ing it when it was suddenly discharged. loroner K.antuer summoned a jury and began an inquest in tha afternoon at Undertaker Seidel's morgue.

Bar tender Herron testified as above and that he had never heard of any dispute or trouble among the boys.

It was not the intention of the committee running the convention, however, to permit any more obnoxious sentimentalism to be uttered from their platform, and Doneloss had therefore to submit his manuscript to the convention censors.
