'United States Counsul Bardel, of Bamberg, Germany, reports the Invention of the telemobiloskop by a resident of Dusseldorf, an apparatus which merits the attention of all seafarers, and which is said to have gained the special attention of German maritime circles. Describing the telemobiloskoD. Consul Bardel writes: The telemobiloskop is to enable the pilot of a- ship, in foggy weather, to discover the nearness of another vessel, even if the pilot of. the other vessel neglects, to give signals by which he could make himself heard. The apparatus works automatically, so that after it is once adjusted nothing whatever has to be done until a ship is discovered by it, when, by an unimportant manual action, the nearness of the other ship can be disclosed. The invention is based on the principle that electric waves, such as are used by wireless telegraphy, are reflected the moment they strike metallic objects in their course, while otherwise they continue on '.heir journey.

SEPARATION WAS RESULT ? c C t Former Widow of Millionaire Yerkes t , Discovers, When Too Late, That* c She "Tied-Up" to a Rank Fortune Hunter. e . f A New York special says: The real c cause of the separation of "Wilson MIz- I ner and the former widow ?f Charles t 2 T. Yerkes, together with the true story ^ of the sensational wedding less than ? a month after the traction magnate's death, has been disclosed for the first * time by a person who was present at ( the marriage ceremony. The revela- c tions are amazing. ( For fourteen months prior to his * nuptials, it appears, young Mizner had teen a constant visitor to the Yerkes : mansion, remaining each day from ( luncheon until almost midnight. From ' the moment following his presentation to Mrs. Yerkes, just after his arrival ] from California, by "Ned" Greenway, ( of San Francisco, he"cultivated the J friendship of the woman assiduously. ] He proposed within a week after the death of her husband and asked her to be wedded then and there. She ' was startled by the proposition, and although he had won her heart by' his kindness and attention in her hour of trouble, she positively declined to. defy the .conventionalities of society. ^ to that extent. Day after day thence^ , forth, it is said, he importuned her. She showed no sign of yielding. He became fearful that she would slip from his grasp, so, after about one month had elapsed, he determined to risk all in a final attempt. 'Rushing into the house one afternoon in an excited manner, he threatened, it is said, that he would not leave the mansion until she became his bride. "But I am not ready to marry you," answered the widow. "I haven't anything to be married in." "Wear that dress you wore the , night 11 first met you," replied MIzrer. The unsuspecting widow, never for a moment dreaming that the young man was anything but noble and sincere, yielded. Mdzner dajshed from the house in search of a clergyman and witnesses. Within three hours all was in readiness for the ceremony, and the young Lochinvar had taken to wife, and had sworn to love, honor and cherisb till deatn tne wiaow 01 the traction king. By those who had advised him to marry the heiress, it had been contemplated that young Mizner would seek control of the Yerkes estate by acting as the representative of his wife. It had been discovered by his . friends, it is said, that the Yerkes estate was not a ten million dollar or a fifteen million dollar estate, as estimated by the lawyers, but that its actual value was nearer seventy millions. With Mizner practically the executor under the will, it is believed that the missing |50,000,000 or $60,000,000 could be found and' that in the saving of all would benefit materially. Leaping from bed one afternoon, be determined to bring matters to a climax then and there. Entering his wife's room, it is alleged, he demanded a settlement of a million dollars. The bride refused his detnand. He flew into a towering passion, and, it is said, made all sorts of threats. The maid, it is alleged, intervened, and she in turn was threatened. The scene became fearful. The bride convinced at last uiat tne man who had told her repeatedly he wanted her and did not care a rap for her money, was a fortune hunter, ordered him from the house. Realizing that he had played his last trump, he left, speaking gruffly to the servants as he swung through the front doors out into Fifth avenue and on to the Pennsylvania station, where ho took a train for Washington.

Nunnally of Coweta county, pastor of the First Baptist church I of Newnan, opened his campaign for governor of Georgia, in a remarkable address before a gathering in Monroe Wednesday.

Three of Its Occupants Seriously Hurt?Accident a Mystery. An elevator of the Temple court building, corner Alabama and Pryor streets, Atlanta, fell five floors Friday afternoon, seriously injuring three and slightly bruising a fourth man. The injured are: Benjamin H. Hill and John W. Moore, attorneys; Dr. W. A. Staroes and Irving Wiley, operator of the elevator. The only occupant of the car who escaped without a scratch was W,. H. Turman, a stenographer. * A remarkable fact in connection with the plunge of the elevator is that the cause of the accident is unknown. The only thing that is known is that at the fifth" floor of the building the car started swiftly downward, the brake refused to work and the clamps on the sides did not operate. The car fell the entire five flights without interruption, and was stopped only by the concrete floor in the basement. CHINK MUST BE IDENTIFIED.
