An Elopemtetit'g fend; CSico, Gai, July 26. -A wedding was to have taken place last month between a young man named Bierce, son of a San Francisco journalist, and Miss Eva Atkins, a beautiful young lady of 17. Bierce's best friend was a man named HUbbs. The day before the marriage day the young lady went to a friend's hoUse and Was married, to Hubbs.

Bierce heard of the couple's whereabouts to-day and went immediately in search. He found them at a friend's residence and Bierce immediately opened fire oil HiibbsV firing fdur shbts and apparently shooting Hubbs dead. Bierce then placed the revolver to Hubo's breast and shot her, she falling fatally wounded. Hubbs regained himself and made a hasty retreat out the back way, but returned just as Bierce shothis wife. He beat Bierce; down but received a serioUs Wound rom-Bierce's revolver which made him help-: less.

Bierce then placed the revolver to his head and blew his brains out, dying in a short time: Hubbs is still alive, as is his wife. Investigation shows that when young Bierce heard of the couple's intended visit to Mrs. Barney, where the tragedy occurred, he Went quickly to her house, stated that he was ill and asked to lie down on the bed just off from the parlor. He had evU dently beeti running, and as he appeared quite exhausted he was at once shown to the bedroom. In this he remained until Hubbs and his wife had taken seats in the parlor.

Mrs. Barney had set her heart on the marriage of her daughter to Bierce, and when the elopement and marriage to Hubbs took place she expressed the wish never to see her daughter in her house again. In a day or two, however, she relented and invited the couple. It was in response to her invitation that the couple called tolay, this being their first visit After a few words had been spoken Bierce stepped into the parlor, spoke a formal word or two, then said "You are a happy looking wedded couple," and retired again into the bedroom. Hubbs suspected trouble and drew his pistol, holding it at his side.

He could not say that 75,000 pounds was unaccounted for," owing to the absence of the books of tha laud league, had been misappropriated. Mr. Soames, solicitor for the Times, in reply to a question by Mr. Sexton, said he could not tell within 10,000 pounds the amount the Times had paid to witnesses. The sum, however, was very large.

This concluded the taking of evidence. Mr. Sexton, replying to a question by Presiding Justice Hannen. stated that he could not sum up the case in behalf of the Par-nellites until he had consulted with his colleagues, and Sir Henry James of counsel for the Times stated that he was not in a position to reply to the whole case. Presiding Justice Hannen informed Mr.

Sexton further evidence would ba called if the commission considered it necessary, but the reasons therefor must be exceptional. The court then adjourned, until October 24. Presiding Justice Hannen ordered that Thomas Condon and John O'Connor, members of the house of commons, who, while serving sentences in Ireland for offenses under the crimes act were brought to London to testify before the Parnell commission, complete the remainder of their terms in a London prison.

A brick building in the course of construction at the northeast corner of Oakley avenue and Twenty-first street, not far from the Leavitt street disaster, was blown during last night's storm on a cottage in the rear, but fortunately none of the occupants were killed. The families of W.

H. Keefe, the owner of the building, and John Hayes occupied the cottage.

Neither of their wounds is necessarily fatal. While the storm was at its height E.

R. Walsh, superintendent of the Union news, company, saw as he supposed a yacht between the lake shore and outer pier off Peck court struck by lightning, the sails catch fire and the vessel to all appearance's go down. Walsh, with his glass, could distinctly see the sails burning and flapping in the wind and the vessel making rapidly for hore, but he could not distinguish anyone on board. The sails burned brightly for a few minutes and suddenly the blaze was extinguished. It seemed to Walsh and his wife that the boat had sunk.

This afternoon, however, a fisherman named White, who owns a small sail boat, statea that he was sailing in the basin when the storm came up and let go his sails. A large headlight, which he always carries, reflected its rays on the flapping sails until he put it out and lowered the canvas and then cautiously worked his way to the pier. It was undoubtedly the reflection on the sails which Walsh saw and which led him to suppose a boat had been struck by lightning and burned. The Madstone Failed. Carthage, July 26.

Here warrants were sworn out for the supposed lynchers and a deputy sheriff and a posse of seven men left for the scene of the tragedy.

Sheriff Watson, after the inquest, proceeded to the ranch of Tom Sunn, who admitted he was one of the lynchers and readily gave the names of the others. He said further that one of the shots fired by Buchanan at the lynchers when they were in the act of stringing Averill up struck John Durbin in the hip, inflicting a very serious if not fatal wound. The wounded man had been taken to Sand Creek. Taking Sunn into custody the party next proceeded to the ranch of J. BothwelL who also admitted that he had assisted in the hanging.

He had also told Buchanan and Healey that they both would go over the range the same way if they did not leave the country.
