JEFF, Daviap TRIAL.

RICHMOND, Nov. 20.-RepOrts to day are con-

has determined to shirk it, and expressed the
impossibility OF again attending the Court

scarcely probable, as he will find it impos-

upon trial, and as the Government has
already continued the case twice, it can scarcely

time the counsel will enter a note proseqUi,

its principal judicial officer to try can scarcely
be refused. This is the present aspect of the

A Marriage on the Cincinnati suspen-
sion Bridge.

From the Cincinnati Commercial. NoU IT,
Down from the Blue Grass region of Kentucky
came runaway pair, recently, to get married.
They couldn't get a license over the river, so
they came to this side AID made an effort to
procure the necessary paper in Hamilton county.
Owing TO the lateness of the hour they failed
here also. Not daring to risk their happiness
twenty-four hours, which might bring upon them
the pursuing parents, they took hack, drove to
the residence of clerical gentleman, who has
become almost as famous as the "black-
smith," and requested him to take a ride with
them. Understanding that fee awaited him,
he Obeyed without reluctance, knowing that by
so doing he would render two fellow beings
happy (or wretched) for life. The backman had
his orders, and he drove as rapidly as the speed
of his horses would permit to the suspension
bridge. Toll paid, the vehicle slowly rolled
along the bridge to point which the driver
judged TO be the middle, and there 1t halted, lust
as the bells sounded midnight. And there, in
hack, on the suspension bridge, at the hour of
midnight, the nuptial ceremony took place, and
the anxious lovers were made husband and wife,
without the permission of either Ohio or Ken

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 10. ls67.--At meeting Of the
unanimously
Resolved That statements made in an ed,tor,aI of
the North american OF Nov 49, 1897 are in every par
ticular incorrect I'm mistake,- probably) that the
widening OF the footways does not diminish but does
on the contrary increase the original cost and ex-
pense TO the property owners
Resolved, That our chief aim Is 10 embelIlsh and
beautiiy our street.
Resotted, That we never had, and not now. any
Intention OF encroaching on the extended iootway.
Resolred That we do believe the opposition gotten
up TO defeat this improvement Of our favorte drive
and promenade is but forerunner OF an effort which
will be made the coming winter TO ruin II by double
rack horse railroad
Now, Mr.. Editor, In passing and publishing these
resolutions we make charge against his Honor
the Mayor but in defense OF the charge Of sehshness
brought against by the writer the aforesaid
ole, and to show the honesty Of purposes to
felow-ciiizens We do believe, from the absence Of
all IaTgument In his Honor's veto sent TO Common
Council there exists power behind the throne
which to has proved rresistble or why should he
refuse the petition OF every propertyhoider Broad
street why disregard the request OF fellowcti
who crowd that thOroughfare, not only on Sun
day but every pleasant aternoob9 II is ridiculous
to that it will interfere with The future improve
ment of the street.
Stand on the of Broad and Poplar streets,
apdlook north; at this point commences the narrow
ing and you see nothing but long stretch OF pala
tial residC beautiful avenue of trees and all the
evidences Of future mRgnihcence. Now look south;
here the street widens, and what see you, with few
exceptions, but mills factories, blacksmith shops
coal and lumber yards? Now, Mr.. Editor, all we
want. and we are supported by nne-tenths OF our
fellow citizens is permission to carry and perfect
our original design

AN INGENIOUS SwINDLR has come to light, and
its particulars are as follows:-A gentlemanly-
looking person, neatly clothed, and with a
tolH ensemble which would recommend him to
the generality of persons, in some manner gets
hold of one or two little children, and goes
around to our various private schools, wherein
ladies preside, inquiries 10 the cost of tuition
and expresses his desire to leave the little ones
in their charge Learning the cost of tuition
which ranges from $l2 TO 500 a term, he enters
the Two children, and offers in prepayment a
$lC0 bill. from which the lady principal is asked
to deduct the fees, and give him change for the
balance. This gentlemanly person leaves, and
many hours do not elapse before the teachers
learn that the 500 is q counterfeit, and that
they have been fleeced out OF $50 or 500 by an
ingenious swindler.
About one year ago, under nearly the same
circumstances, one of these swindlers in pay
ment for the tuition of little child, presented
Quaker lady, in the western part OF the city
with $50 bill, and received back balance Of
IS In genuine currency, and then left for parts
unknown. Meanwhile the same lady changed
the locality of her school, and, lately, VINO
should pres ent himself at her door but this very
same swindler, wanting to palm off another
child and $40 upon her. She hooked into his
lace, and had no sooner announced her belief
that he had defrauded her before, than he sud-
denly left II would be well for our lady teach
ers II; when such persons present themselves
with S2O or 500 bills, under like circumstances,
they request them to call for the balance next
day, in order that some little time may be had
for an investigation.
