Busch's Nephew to
Wed Young Divorcee
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 2.—Because of the
Illinois law which prohibits the mar
riage of a divorced person for a year
after the decree is granted, the mar
riage of August .Adolphus Busch,
nephew of the late multi-millionaire
brewer, Adolphus Busch, and Miss
Cecilia Ellen Flesoh, aged 19, who
was divorced last Monday, will take
place in St. Louis.
Miss Flesch was the wife of Oscar
Schweigler, who obtained a decree on
the ground of desertion.
A rigid investigation of the fire
thut destroyed one of the main build
ings of the Atlanta Machine Works
at No. 1 King street Thursday night
was begun Friday by Chief Cum
mings, who asserts there are several
grounds for the theory that the blaze
was of incendiary origin.
The building and its contents, en
tirely without insurance, was part of
the big plant, which had been shut
down for several months. The burned
building was nearly 300 feet in length,
three stories in height, and 50 feet
wide.
The loss will run over $10,000. al
though the contents were not of high
value.
Building Used in War.
The building was one of tlie oldest
in the city, having been used in the
manufacture of ammunition during
the war between the States, and also
as -me of the defenses of General
Hood in the famous siege of Atlanta
by Sherman’s army.
The delay in turning in the alarm
is regarded as one of the most suspi
cious circumstances by the Fire Chief.
A night watchman is regularly em
ployed, but it appears he was not at
the plant when the fire started Thurs
day night. In fart, the belated alarm
was turned in by two pedestrians on
Decatur street, two blocks away, who
saw the rising glow of a fire already
well under way.
Another suspicibus circumstance
was the speed with which the fire
swept all parts of the old building.
The firemen were frequently driven
back by great gusts of flames that
could *> e accounted for only by the
presence of oil, even in a building
well dried out by age and disuse.
Fireman Injured.
One fireman, rloseman Parker, of
Engine House No. 4, was severely in
jured while playing a stream from
the window of an adjoining building.
A whirl of falling bricks and beams
struck the extended nozzle and hurled
it against Parker’s head, knocking
him down and cutting and bruising
his face. He was taken to Grady
Hospital in an ambulance, but later
returned to his engine house.
As soon as he reached thhe fire.
Olfief Cummings ordered out three en
gine companies besides the one first
responding to the belated ca!L
“In some ways this fire beats any
I ever worked on,” the Chief said
Friday. “I'm going to the bottom of
it, because T don't like the looks of
It.”
The Georgia Cotton Manufacturers’
Association will meet in the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce rooms at noon
Saturday to hear the address of Ralph
Odell, special representative of tho
United States bureau of Foreign and
Homestic Commerce, who has just re
turned from a trip to the Red £Tea cot
ton regions.
Mr. Udell will display samples of the
cotton grown in this district and aim;
that In demand on foreign countries.
His talk la expected to be unusually in
structive.

chooting and has not been found, it
consequently being uncertain as to
whether or not he is dead. A few
hours later Jordan, armed with a
shotgun, marched his wife from their
house and forced her to walk before
the gun muzzle around the front yard
several times, when Beale came up
and attempted to pacify the crazed
man by engaging him in conversa
tion. As Beale turned to walk away
Jordan fired on him, part of the load
buckshot lodging in his neck.
Jordan then marched his wife into
the house arid in a few minutes two
shots and screams were heard.
Fearing that Jordan had slain or
would kill his two children, who were
known to be in the h«*»se, a posse
formed and surrounded the place.
Julian J. Zacnery, under cover of the
posremen’s guns, slipped up to the
house and enticed the children into
the yard. When they were safe, the
posse opened fire on the house. Later
the house was stormed and Jordan
was found with his head literally shot
away by a load of buckshot from his
"wn gun. His wife’s shot-riddled
body was discovered hidden between
the mattresses of a bed.
Jordan had twice been an inmate of
un insane asylum.

Friends Expect Formal Announce
ment of Betrothal of Beauty
and Marquis.
Last week l visited a
boy scout patrol and
found fifteen bright-faced earn
est lads listening to a talk
by their iscout master. “Take
care of your teeth” he urged;
“You can't grow up to be
fetrong self-reliant men unless
you have good health, and good
teeth mean good health. Brush
your teeth thoroughly twice a
day and visit your dentist twice
a year — it is insuring your
health and happiness when you
are grown men.”
The Scout Manual puts care
of the teeth first among the
things a boy should know if he
wants good health. And every
boy should realize that Good
Teeth—Good Health will take
him far along the road to suc
cess in school, in sports, in
business und in pleasure.
The twice-a-day use of Col
gate's Rtobon Dental Cream—

flavor—keeps the teeth clean,

LONDON, Jan. 1.—The engagement
Is rumored of Miss Sara S. Wiborg,
daughter of the Cincinnati million
aire ink manufacturer, and the Mar
quis of Granby, son and heir of the
Duke of Rutland. The two, appar
ently are close friends, and in the
formal society of the American col
ony and the King's set are never very
far apart. Both are now staying at
Belvoir Castle, one of the seats of the
Duke of Rutland. The Duchess is
giving a holiday party.
Friends of Miss Wiborg and the
Marquis believe that a formal an- i
nouncement that the two are en
gaged will soon be made.
With Miss Wiborg are her two sis- |
ters. known in Newport, New York, I
Cincinnati and abroad as “The Three [
Beautiful Wiborg Girls.” They have i
been stopping in London with their
mother, Mrs. Frank Wiborg.
The Wiborgs do not like America
any too well, their friends say, be
cause of the experience of Mrs. Wi
borg with the American customs, j
Last fall the mother and the three j
daughters crossed to America. They j
were without the protection of Mr. j
Wiborg, who had been compelled to j
stay in America.
j Mrs. Wiborg made out a declara-
• tion covering the baggage of herself
and three daughters. She declared
only $440 worth of goods when there
was $4,000 worth in the luggage of j
the party. She pleaded guilty, and
was sentenced in the United States j
i District Court in New York to pay a j
| fine of $1,750. Siie stated in court I
, that she had not known of all the j
j purchases of her daughters abroad; j
j a Iso. her health was very bad.
Mrs. Wiborg is a sister-in-law of !
| General Nelson A. Miles, a niece of j
j the late Senator John Sherman.
The sisters who are with Miss Sara [
f Wiborg. are the Misses Mary H. and !
| < )lga Wiborg.
