STOPPED THE WEDDING Lora Addison Clift Nearly Married an Impetuous French Suitor. Special Telegram to The Times. New York. March 5. Three weeks ago, at a dinner given by the Harvard students to Lora Addison Clift on the eve of her departure from Boston, Alexandre Jonvait, a Frenchman, was Introduced to her as a great artist.

He became enamored with Miss Clift both for her beauty and accomplishments as an actress, and paid her many compliments, as did all her friends. The artist, however, progressed more rap-Idly. Inasmuch as he offered himself as her suitor, which she finally consented to. Jnu-vait was anxious that the marriage to which she had acceded be contracted in New York. "All right," said Miss Clift, "you go on to-day, I'll follow to-morrow.

You may meet me at the Grand Central Station in New York." This arrangement was carried out. "Zee leetle church around zee eornalr," said Jonvait to a cabman, as ne and Miss Clift were about to get into a cab at the station. "One moment I've got something to say about this matter, exclaimed a squeaky voice. And a tinv hand was laid upon Jou-valt's shoulder and a pair of blazing eyes glared at him. "So this is the woman you have been neglecting me and my child for.

mv good Aiuiand." continued she of the squeakv voice. "I'll show her to take away my husband I'll kill her I'll have her arrested." "But vou are surely mistaken, madam, said Miss Clift. "This gentleman's name Is Alexandre Jonvait: you called hlra Armand. It Is case of mistaken Identity." Hut it wasn't. Miss Clift waited for no more.

She told the cabman who was to have taken them to church to take her to No. 333 Grand street, the office of Lawyer Llias Rosenthal, who hod once before conducted some legnl affairs 10 a successful termination for her. She Instructed Mr. Rosenthal to set the wheels of law In motion against the bogus suitor, and the result is that a process server is now hunting high nnd lon-throngh Boston to serve a summons In a $50,000 breach of promise suit upon "Alexandre Jonvait. alias Armaud Doe; said name Doe being fictitious, the true name of said defendant beiug unknown to the plaintiff herein."

The first meeting of the Meteor Wheelmen In their new house on Thursday night was quite lengthy, much of the time being takeu up with discussions of the best methods to pursue In furnishing the new quarters. The club has a neat little nest egg laid by which will be used in their new venture.

Everyone has started to hustle, and it is safe to say that before long the Meteors will have one of the finest appointed club houses in the city. There is no alliance between the League of American Wheelmen and the Amateur Athletic Union at present. A month ago the latter gave notice of its Intention to end the alliance, and the thirty days has expired. Now that I. B.

Potter has been elected president of the L. A. it is probable that friendly relations with the A. A. V.

will be resumed. The trouble was caused by Chairman Gideon, who did not Interpret the rules to the satisfaction of the A. A. U. It is said he sanctioned cycle meetings on whose programmes were unregistered athletic events.

This caused a big protest from the A. A. U. "Teddy" Goodman, the indoor champion of the Riverside Wheelmen, has been matched to ride a two-mile race with Sam Brock at the games of the Twenty-second Regiment Athletic Association. March '25.

The contestants will start from opposite sides of the track. At the last meeting of the Meteor Wheelmen a membership committee was appointed, as follows: H. XI. Minton, William Caldwell and Thomas James. The duty of this committee will be to build up the membership of the club bj procuring wheelmen who will be of material benefit to the club.

It Is the intention of the boys, by the time the antional meet comes around, to have visitors to this city talk about Philadelphia's crack colored cycling organization when they go home. "Talking of very cheap bicycles," said W. H. Webster, a well-known cyclist, "reminds me of a dealer I know. The other day a friend of mine visited the dealer and found him selling some handsomely enameled wheels for $19.09.

Mr. Dealer dwelt long and earnestly on the merits of his wheel, and my friend was almost Induced to buy, but finally decided to think the matter over. That night he remarked to me: 'So-and-So has a bully wheel that he is selling dirt cheap, and I have half a miud to buy one. Only one thing troubles 'What's I asked. he replied, 'he is such a crafty fellow and is looking for the best of it so much that I am afraid he has substituted common shot for the steel ball bearings.

Seel' The Acme Wheelman Base Ball Club Is aniously waiting to hear from Doylestown, Trenton, Morton, Bordentown, Burlington, Chester. Camden Athletic Club, Mt. Holly, or any out-of-town club giving good guarantee. Address all correspondence to the manager, Mr. James Hngarty.

In care of the Acme Wheelmen. 338 South Twenty-second street, Philadelphia. Boston is to have a cycle race meet managed by women. This does not mean that none but women will compete. The eveuts will be open to males, but men have no voice in the management.

The meet Is to be held on the Charles River Park track on May 19. and is to be called the "Blue Ulbbon Meet." The Idea originated in the rauks of the Bos-tonlau Cycle Club, which Is composed entirely of women, and will be carried out by that organization. The races will be run In the evening. The track will be illuminated by electric lights. There will be races for the students of Harvard, the bicycle clubs of Boston, Invitation races, and one for professionals.

On the track will be three women, cue dress In blue, one in red and one iu white. To the winner of a race the woman iu blue will present a blue ribbon, and to the secoud the woman in red will present a red ribbon, and the one in white will present a white ribbon to the third. Prizes in the form of red, white and blue souvenir buttons will be given to the winners, as well a generous money prizes, Governor Wolcott and staff, and the Mayors of Boston and Cambridge, have been Invited to attend. The Diamond Wheelmen, of Frankford, will depart, from their usual custom this month and will not have their monthly smoker. Billy Murphy, the Brooklyn "pro," will coach the Princeton cycle team candidates.

Asa Windle will look after those of Yale, while Columbia men will have the services of P. L. McCue. "The system of interchangeable parts." says an expert, "is a distinctly American contribution to the trade of cycle making." George Orr. it is expected, will be the next president of the Canadian Wheelmen's Association.

Heretofore the merry scorcher did scorch-eth to bis heart's content In quiet Frank-ford. Now they are after him tooth and nail and there are big chances that before long department will arrange for a cycling patrolman to cover Frankford. Naturally, for a position like this, there will be a number of applications. There are a few police officers of the burg who are, at the same time, quite expert wheelmen, and if a bike cop Is appointed for Frankford, without doubt be will be chosen for his abilities as a wheelman. A Pittsburg cycling scribe gays: The Inevitable result of the election of Mr.

Potter to the presidency will be the dlsbaudment of at least three of the political rings that have long been the League's disgrace. Massachusetts is already drawn and quartered. Illinois has been torn limb from limb. Ohio has been wiped froui the map. Treachery and double-dealing are the offspring of ring rule.

With the death of the rings, and only with their death, will come the progress that Is expected of the Leagueof American Wheel, men. And progress already shows her face. The latest auxiliary to the Pennsylvania Bicycle Club Is a glee club, which was organized on Thursday night with a membership of thirty. Last night they gave a dance at the club house under the patronage of Mrs. H.

Titus. Mrs. B. Hansbury, Mrs. C.

B. Hlncbman and Mra. J. F. Neill.

Despite the miserable weather a good number were present and a most enjoyable evening was spent. The next dance of the club la scheduled for the 19th. "The spoke manufacturers," says a trade man, "are not a bit backward In admitting that bicycle makers are unnecessarily desirous of procuring wire which will show a tensile strength far In excess of that to which a spoke Is ever subjected In actual user It Is common to find many superintendents giving specifications for spokes which will break at about 1.200 pounds. The spoke makers say that a spoke which will resist a tensile strain of 800 pounds is sufficiently strong for all ordinary purposes In bicycle MACALESTER DID NOT TAKE PART If Favorable Condition, Had Prevailed Larger Scores Would Have Resulted All the Marksmen Were In Excellent Form. Macalester In a Railroad Wreck -Three Divide the Second, Third and Fourth Money The Team Shoot To-Day.

The Hiverton Gun Cluh yesterday opened auspiciously their annual meeting, the principal features of which are the big 100 bird handicap and the team shoot. In the former event eight of the nine entries faced the triips. The dismal, rainy weather coupled with the fact that the birds were an unusually fast lot, many of them dark in color, proves yesterday-s shooting to have been of a most creditable character. The conditions of the 100 bird handicap were $100 entrance fee. the amount to be divided as follows: Fifty per cent, to winner, 20 per cent, to second man.

15 per cent- to third man and 5 per cent, to fourth, the remaining 10 per cent, to go to the club. Of the nine men who signified their intention of participating In the match, McAlpin and Davenport." the New York cracks; "Williams," an out-of-town member of the River-ton Club; Welch, "Tbe Count." "Smith" Toland and "Cleeland-' all came to tbe score, leaving Charles Macalester. of Baltimore, the sole absentee. His non-appearance was caused by a railroad accident which made it impossible for him to arrive in time to take part. Five of the eight contestants killed over 90 per cent, of their hundred birds, which under the adverse circumstances is a splendid showing.

When each of the eight contestants had disposed of his first 25 birds the scores showed that Welch and "The Count" had each killed 25 straight, while Wlll'aras. Smith. Davenport and Cleeland had brought down 23, and missed 2 apiece, and Toland was lowest man with 21 kills and i misses. After fifty birds apiece had been shot at the position of the men were somewhat changed, as Wlllinms killed 24 additional. McAlpin 23.

Toland 23. Welch 22. Davenport 22. The Count 21. Cleeland 21 and Smith 20.

The final score was as follows: Williams killed and missed Davenport. Cleeland and Welch killed 02 and missed 8 each; McAlpin killed 91 and missed Toland killed iS and missed 12; Smith and The Count killed 80 and missed 14 each.

Judge Vroom. in the Camden County Orphans' Court, listened to testimony ail day yesterday In the contested will case of John H.

White, colored, who left an estate valued at about $6,000 when he died, less than two years ago. About a year after his death and after arrangements bad been almost completed to divide the estate among a half dozen heirs, a will, in which Mary Ellen Smith was made the sole beneficiary, was presented to Surrogate West for probate. A half a dozen lawyers, representing as many clients, are now trying to prove that the will is a forgery and they presented evidence to substantiate their allegations yesterday. It is alleged tbat the will was made and signed by Frances Murray, colored, who declares that she caunot write. Clara Vandyke, a sister of the devisee lu the will, testified that Frances Murray can write and she saw her write the disputed will on January 18 last.

E. H. Raub. an expert in handwriting, examined the signatures on a bond, a mortgage, a power of attornov and the will and was positive that the signature on the will was not written by the same person who signed the other papers. Lawyer Howard Cooper and Freedom C.

Lipplncott identified White's signature on the legal papers, which they testified they drew up for hiin. Anna Maria Bassett. who was a close neighbor of White, said she visited his house every day and kuew pretty near all his business' but never heard of the will. "How old are you?" asked Lawyer Peirce. "I can't hardly tell." "A re you 40?" "Oh.

go 'long. You just ought to see my great-grandchildren and you wouldn't ask such simple questions." replied the old woman. Mrs. Bassett said she had heard Mr. White sav that he Intended remembering the Home for Colored Children.

TRADE REPORTS FOR THE WEEK Bradstreet's Notes a Continuation of Business Improvement. New York. March 5. Bradstreet's to-morrow will say: "The new administration, the certainty of an extra session of Congress within a fortnight and the promise of a new tariff at an early day which shall provide adequate revenue and protection, have done much to stimulate a better feeling in trade circles and increase confidence in the near approach of an improvement in business. "There are 262 business failures throughout the I'nlted States tbls week, compared with 258 last week, 270 in the week a year ago.

252 in the week two years ago. and smaller totals in like weeks iu two preceding years. This marks a return of the ratio of business failures to the total number in business more nearly to the normal. There ore 51 business failures reported from the Canadian Dominion this week, against 50 last week. 60 in the week a year ago, and 53 two years ago." K.

G. Dan Co. "a Trade Report. New York, March 5. R.

G. Dun weekly review of trade will say: "The slow and gradual improvement of business for some time has continued for the past week aud without material check. There Is a better demand for most products on the whole, with continuance of speculative buying in some, notably in wool, because of expected duiles. "Failures show but slight increase over those of 1S90 or 1S05, nnd but slight decrease compared with 1804. Failures for the week have been 246 in the L'nlted States, against 285 last year, and 59 in Canada against 6S last year." Customs Service Employes Disappointed.

There is much disappointment among the employes of the Customs service over the failuie of Congress to pass the general deficiency bill. The men expected, as had been stipulated In the hill, that their salaries would be restored to the figures they were receiving prior to last October, when a reduction was made. When it was learned that the appropriation for the expenses of this port was $25,000 short of the amount required there was a general reduction made In the wages of the employes to meet It. The employes have been in hopes since then that the passage of the deficiency bill would make ample provision for returning to them the amount dedjeted from their salaries. Mrs.
