LOVE TURNED TO HATE.
Attempt to Murder Young Lady
A FashioabIe Wedding that Did
Not Come off-The Residence of
Gov. Randolph Besieged by a
Lover.

a young lady who has been stay
ing the past few weeks with the
family of Gov Randolph, at Nor
ristown, n. j. was attacked recently
by a young man from Brookland, ,
who made a desperate attempt to
kill her. The affair has Gre ated in
tense excitement among those who
have heard the circumstances, and
inquiries regarding tue cause of the
young mans animosity have devel-
oped the following facts, which
show that the course of fashionable
courtshipdoes notalways run smooth.
A few months ago the young
lady whose name is withheld for
obvious reason-was engaged ro be
married to the would be murderer,
and received his visits at her fathe er's
hause in Brooklyn, where the we'd
ding was to take place. The father
of the lady is man of great wealth,
and of a high position in society,
in the highest circle of which the
expectant bridegroom also moved
The former was General in the
Union army during the late war,
anG bears name eminent for nili
tary services. During the engagement,
and even up to two days before the
time at which the marriage was to
take place, the engaged couple were,
to all appearances, supremely happy,
receiving the congratulations Of
their friends, who gave unnumbered
valuable presents to the lady. The
General was not less attentive to
his daughters happiness. Apart
ements were fitted up under the pa
ternal roof-the furnishing of which
Ncost $6,O0O-for the young couple,
whose monograms marked every
piece of the rich furniture Elaborate
preparations were made for the we'd
ding, invitations were issued, and
no one for moment entertained
a doubt of its fulfillment. Two days
before the day fixed upon the young
lady discovered that her promised
husband, although a man of excel
lent family and high reputation, was
a libertine-a person with whom
she could not consent to trust her
happiness. She Immediately broke
the engagement in the face Of all that
scandal could say concerning the
strange termination of the wedding
arrangements, and ordered her suit
or never to appear before her again.
But he did appear, begging her to
marry him. Upon her repeated re-
fusal, and the scornful word which
she is said to have used toward him,
he attempted to stab her IN her
fathers house. She escaped and
being again threatened with death
at his hands, she left the city scretly,
telling only her parents her destina
ton. and went to Morristown to
visit the family of Gov. Randolpha.
Her suitor by some means, learned
her Whereabouts and presented him
self at the door Of the Governors
mansion a few days ago, demanding
admission. Having seen him ap-
proaching, the lady gave orders to
bar the doors, and he found efforts
to obtain entrance fruitless. Then
he attemted to break the doors and
and finally, it is stated, fired at the
lady through the window. He is
said to have been seen since this oc-
eurrence, lying in wait for her near
the house, and guard has been
stationed IN the grounds to capture
himif he makes ano other appearance

THE BRIDAL TOUR

was to Montreal, where they took
rooms at first class hotel, and all
went on in the most serene manner
until one day the lady had occasion
to visit one of her trunks in which
she kept her money and jewelry.
Six hundred dollars of her money
had vanished. The ser, ants were
accused, but no trace of the stolen
money could be found, and here the
matter for the time ended. At the
termination of their sojurn in Mon
treal the lady requested her husband
to settle tie hotel bill and start for
home. TO this request he said he
could not comply, for he had no
money. This led to words, then to
strong accusations, to the effect
that he had stolen her money. At
last he acknowledged he had opened
her trunk with false key and taken
the money he needed it; sent it to
New York !; asked to be forgiven !;
he would return it to her in New
York as soon as he got to his bank

CHiFFiONNlERS.

A
community are the chifonniers, or
ragpickers, of which large numbers
are found in all our populous cities.
There is q sort of fraternity of in
terest which causes them to reside
together in particular localities, and
and to exercise sort Of clannish in
tercourse. This class is composed
Of men. women and children. Ere
quentlv, dogs are used to draw carts
containing thoes things which they
find in the streets; but the major
part Of the fraternity are diligent
workers, and carry their own bur
dens. As g class, they are very
perceable, and seldom meddle with
the business concerns of other peo
pie. ri .r4s t=
At early morn, while the stars vet
peep out of their mysterious depths
of space, and while the great city is
still wrapt in sleep, they wind their
way through the deserted streets,
a ragged, hungry horde. They
search the cutters, the areas, the
alleys, the most disgusting sink holes
for anything and and everything
that they can turn to use. Pieces
Of bread. refuse meat and vegeta
bles, old bones, stray nails, old
iron, old bottles, rags, paper and
bits of coal or wood, are each and
all eagerly caught up by them and
slowed away in bag or basket, to
be made available in the future.
The chiffionnier travels over
many miles of territory in the course
of morning. Each Of the fratern-
ity return home after few hours,
search, with their gathered loads, to
assort and put their accumulated
merchandise marketable condition
This looks like very slow way to
gain welth but many of these peo-
pie are prosperous, and not unfrs-
quently we find one who has grown
welthy in this peculiar field of labor
One man, who lives in 10Th street
is the owner of several fine houses
| with brown stone fronts. and he is
also said to havea very handsome
| balance to his credit at his bankers
Others are scattered over variou:
parts of the great city, who have ac-
cumulated large property in this bu
siness. One man of this class is
known to wear his diamonds and live
in handsome style. Most chiffionni rs
however, are not made proud by
success. but either buy a snug farm
at the West, or else patiently ploo
on as before. These men feed theil
families on the kitchen refuse anC
cold victuals that are obtained or
their daily rounds.
The chifflonnier's profits are fire
quently angmeted by rolls ofhumar
hair, stray jewels, small sums o.
honey, and many other valuables

mong strang receptacles, and in out
of the way places.

A sad story of love and villainiy
was related yesterday ut the Detect

way, to Superintendent Warrin, by
a lady apparently about twenty eight
years of age. She was dressed with
great taste, of very prepossessing

about eight months ago, and having
few thousand dollars, thought to
employ it best by renting a house
and taking boarders. She soon be-
came the mistress of a fine estab
lishment on one of the principal
streets, and her house rapidly filled
up. Among her boalders was a
young man of pleasing address, who
represented that he was connected
with dowl town bank. Shortly af
ter his arrival at the house he be-
came an ardent lover of the lady.
his attentions soon resulting in a
noticeable intimacy and finally an
engagement between them.
In the mean time, however, in or
der to protect herself from any i'm
position on the part other intended
the lady interviewed him as to who
and what he was, and received the
folio wing statements: I am in no
particular business live on stated
income from my property; have at
present some SIT, 900 deposited to
my credit in a down town bank :owp

claim in California, and to endorse
nay statement ! refer yon to such
and such leading business men in
this city.
So far so good, thought the lady.
Inquiries were instituted, but some
how or other the references always
seemed to be out of town and ex-
pected home soon. The time flew
on, the couple were happy and the
great demand on the part of the
gentleman was constant for an
IMMEDIATE MARRIAGE.
Everything on the surface seemed
right, and the fascinating youth was
to her all that fancy painted him.
Why have suspicion. How could
such man be anything but honest
and straightforward, she argued and
the longer he continued his atten-
tions the less suspicious she became
until finally the references were dis
regarded and unmeasured confidence
filled her heart.
The day for the marriage arrived.
Friends were invited and had COM
menced to arrive; but when near
the hour of the ceremony the bride
groom manifested great dependency
and finally said that he had been dis
appointed in not receiving a draft
that morning, and he did not like to
disturb his $4,000 deposit down
town. If that is ALL said the in
tended bride, I can accommodate
you. How much do you want ?"

Want OF Ventilation.

The usual modes Of warming buildings

affect the health and lives of our families,
who are obliged to remain within doors
by far the greater part OF the time.

which have followed most attempts
in this direction, make the subject one of
the most vital importance. Bad air IL .
