Some two week. since, Miss Eva Wik s
nexcred'ngly progressing young damse
pump. rosy checked, sporting jocky ha,
aud leather, and with u good deal of style
generally, made her advent in this mors
community. She hailed flom an odj lining
county, ard came here obviously TO gazt
upon the elephant, She tirst qnar,ered at
the Park House, but afer brief Sc jouru
made transfer to the United States -
Here ,funds got low. Something was
necessary to be done, and accordingly she
proceeded to do it. She inducd very
moving rpislle TO one Henry Rouse
sbo, it seems. had promised her n gteat
many things, marriage among them, =
calling bis attention TO her lcne condition,
and demanding his presence. This brought
Henry hy The next train. Henry was an
original youth in most respects. Or
| reade have doubtless seen those whose
limbs looked as i! they had been manufac
tured for d,ffe eDt persons. but by some
strange fs.ali'y had got shaken together
into sort of composite individual. Sich
was Henry. Long. loose, sharnbling, wi h
a mouh # the regular cemetery pattern,
in which rolled constantly n couple of
ounces Of Honey Dew His Inner
man, as p esidcn, johnson would remark,
eorrespouded In much degree with the
outer. Henry reached this city on Thursday
evening. and presenting bim.el at the
United States, stated he was cousin to the
lady, aud signfed his intention Of taking
| up his quarters there. Human nature is
altogether unreliable Attbe solemn dead
Of night the figure Of Henry might have
been seen with the baggage OF Mis-.
Eva W!lkes'upon his shoulder, stealing from
the hospitsb'e roof of The aforesaid hostel y
while the Jockey hat snd fea her brought
up the rear 1t would not be Ismiss 10
a'e here. perhaps. that the Golfers of the
United Safes were seven dollars ont by
his operation. The bsggage was left a.
the depot, and the couple besiook tn m.
selves 10 he Morton House, whete they
we're registered rs nsu and wife, and re
tired to lhe solitude Of ther apartment. at
| As the novelstsl say, let us go back for
brief period. Shortly after their leaving
the Uuiled Safes Ho'el the landlord
thereof discovered their flight, and suspect
ing, wherethey had gone. went directly TO
the register, Of the Morton House, I'D
found their names lie then went 10 the
depot aud secured the services Of Detective
Whitney After consultation with Mr.
Vnu Tassel, the three proceeded to the
room occupied by the twain, and called
him 10 cone for tn, which bs was very re
luctaat to do. Finding il useless to demur
longer, he at last made his appearance.
and was invited to the sitting room, where
he was confronted with bis former laod,
lord and The detective. He settled the
hotel bill without much trouble when he
was informed tbath was still held on a
much graver chsrge-that OF having served
as married lnan Wy OTeFel "i'uouI ntViuB
attained the regular rank. and that conse
quently the future didn,t glo~ much for
him. Al this jnncture Miss Wilk's
made her appearance. and when made
aware Of the Stale o! thiags was Intensely
indignant. She wanted 10 know whose
business i, was. and '.Eings had come to
pretty pass, so they had,' and down
where she lived folks minded their own
business" ect,, ect. After this feminine.
sbullition, she qpieted down. Henry then
taled that although they were not mar
ried in all particulars. they were 90 their
way to, Illinois. where The kuot would
certainly be tied, Ii was then suggested
by officer Whitney that the marriage
should take place then and there, TO which
tho parties, after q little dcmur. consented.
Justice Camphsusen was called from bis
bed. who gave them ten dollars worth Of
lawful wedlock, which settled the whole
question. The bridegroom gave 1t as his
opinion that ''Erc was ,he cussedest place
be ever was 10. which waacordially -greed
