Inauguration. His mail is ahuge one, but
as most of it is from patriots who are anx-

The speaker then took the floor and an
nounced his intention to ask that the reso-
utions OF censure that had been heaped
upon .Ananias should be rescinded, and
proceeded to read the records of the case,
from which it appeared that Ananias had
sold his horse and had not given all the
price to the church. The speaker then
went on to say that no reason appeared on
the records for Ananias to give any, and
much less all, his property to the church,
and he questioned if any of those before
him would do any more than Ananias had
in the same place. He then went on to
show that Ananias had obeyed his wife in
the matter, and expressed the belief that
few of those before him could say as much
for themselves After further arguments
of similar character, he moved the char

A FEMALE LOTHARIO.-One OF the
most remarkable matrimonial adventu-
resses that ever travelled in this country
was brought before the public of Toledo
yesterday, in the person of one Mrs. Hol-
! lister, alias Mrs. Doran, alias Mrs. Ward,
alias Mrs. Parmenter. Itappears that she
was born and raised in Seneca county, in
! this State, her fathers name being Vail
| He died when she was quite young lady,
and she maroied Mr.. HOLSTER in that
county She claims that Nh. HOLSTER
treated her very kindly. She had two chill
dren by him, according to her story, and
just about the time the second one was
born he ran away from her, and fled with
a "handsomer woman" She then strug-
gled along for while, and finally went to
DeKalb county, Indiana, to try her luck
among the s'Hoosiers.'' After a while, it
appears from the statement of the man
himself, she fascinated and married Mr..
Doran. She lived with him a short time,
but yearning for something new, and. ever
ready to indulge at her favorite pastime of
adventure, she left Mr.. Doran and made
flying visit to this city MI. D. followed
her some time after, and, on arriving here,
discovered that his wife was also the wife
of Mr.. Ward, and that the ceremony had
been lawfully performed at a Justices Of
flee in this city. p' y5.a1I
He preferred not to disturb the serenity
of her newly found affinity, and left her
alone in her glory. She lived with Mr..
Ward a few weeks, and finally, tired of
him, she then took a tramp to the lumber
sections of Michigan. 1t was only few
months ago that she met Mr. Parmenter
at Saginaw, and by her usual attractive
graces succeeded in capturing his heart
That gentleman married her, and short
time before these facts became known,
moved to this city, we believe just seven
weeks ago The three husbands all live,
it is said, within a stones throw of each
other, and it is quite strange that they
have lived so close together for such a
length of time without having Erumpus.'
The woman claims that she does not know
Messrs. Doran OF Ward, and that MI. Par
menter is her second and ''lawful'' hus-
band. She was arrested on complaint of
Nh. Doran yesterday morning by Detective
Burbanks. This morning at 2 O'Clock she
was in a cell at the station, claiming to be
in a very delicate condition and apparent
ly suffering some pain. Toledo CONNER

No other word was spoken, but two

Of course, Arthur Lightfoot and his
wife objected and decidedly refused, but
Leone was determined. It was no romance
with her, and when she fatty told them
she would marry Clarence without their
consent, they made virtue Of a necessity
and gave it, consoling themselves with the
thought that, after all, his being stran-
ger and poor man was really the only
faults they could find with him.
! At the request Of thesparties most inter
ested, it was a quiet wedding, just six
months after the meeting Of the lovers,
and DR.. Wells and Farmer Jessop's fami-
lies only were invited, and to this day the
good old lady has not ceased to gossip
about the magnificent trosseau the bride
had, and the quiet happiness that shone in
the eyes of the young people.
It had been decided that the bridal tour
should be to Europe. as Clarence Aihslee
said that business would call him there
soon, and Mr.. and Mrs. Lightfoot had
been persuaded to accompany them; so
the day after the wedding the New York
steamer bore happy quartette from the
land of free America.
Arriving safely in England, a few days
were passed at the hotel, and then by an
invitation from Clarence Ainslee, the par
started out to visit the spot where he had
passed his boyhood days.
Through meadow lands and lovely coun-
try the carriage drove, until suddenly
Clarence, who was driving, wheeled into
grand gateway leading to the superb coun-
try seat of some man of wealth.
A few moments more, and the carriage
drew up before the marble steps of an ele-
cant mansion-one of those old rambling
structures often found in England and
springing lightly to the ground, the Eng
lishman, said, while merry light twink
led in his eye:
Leone, I welcome you to your home
Mr.. and Mrs. Lightfoot, Lord Clarence
Ainslie begs that you will accept the hos
pitality of Ainslie CASTLE
+ Tears filled the beautiful eyes of Leone.
Arthur Lightfoot's cheek colored, but he
was silent, while after a seconds hesita-
ton, his wife exclaimed {:
clarence Ainslie, you're cheat. Why,
I thought you were Western farmer

when a man entered the service of
a railroad company he took all risks Of loss
of life or limb, and had no claim upon the

= A DAUGHTER HoRsEWHIPPED BY HER
FATHER FOR ATTENDANCE AT A DAN
CHG ACADEMY.-Th neighborhood of
Ninth street between P and G was excited
on Saturday evening by a cowhiding adj
ministered by Mr.. Clarke H. Bliss, late
city surveyor, upon his daughter, about
nineteen or twenty years of age. The Of
fence which was deemed by the parent suf-
fciently heinous to call for this punishment
was his daughters attendance alta dancing
academy in company with a young lady
friend, without his knowledge OF consent.
Awaiting her return to the house of her
friend, he met her and her companion quite
early in the evening and demanded to
know where she had been. She frankly
and timidly replied, when he turned away
leaving the young ladies atthe door, which
they entered, and in few minutes he re-
turned with a heavy horseWhip concealed
under his coat and entered the house Mr..
J. E. NJ. Bowen's,) and approaching his
daughter in the parlor, he in presence Of
Mrs Bowen, an elderly lady, and Miss
Bowen, drew out his horsewhip and dashed
his daughter, laying on blow after blow
without stint. She sprang screaming to
the door, he following her and continuing
the castigation. The two female inmates
of the house begged him to stop and leave
the house, which he did afterhe got through
with his domestic discipline. When Mr..
Bowen returned home he was informed of
the affair, and he with a number of his in
dignant neighbors stated the facts to the
police authorities for their action. 40
It is stated that Bliss not long since cas-
tigated his second daughter, about seven
teen years old, very severely. The young
ladies have no mother, the present wife of
Bliss being their stepmother. 1t is also
stated that Bliss's daughters do not intend
to appear against him, but whether this is
the result of intimidation or natural affec-
ton does not appear Washington Star.
