A woman's determination to part her hair at the side broke up wedding at Bangor, Me-, last week. The company had all assembled, the clergyman was in his place, and the groom proceeded up stairs to escort his chosen one to the altar. The lady was splendidly dressed, but in arranging her hair she had adopted the new style. To this the young man object ed in the strongest terms, saying that it looked too brazen and "fast;" that the hair of bride should be parted modestly in the middle. A sharp war of words fol- lowed, which resulted in declaration on the part of tho angry youth that he had taken firm stand that the hair must be redressed or he would never look upen it again. To this the girl replied that he might leave as soon as he pleased, an6 leave he did. much to the disgust of the people who came to partake of the we'd ding supper and were turned out of the house without it.

YORK THE FIRST WITNESS SWORN.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-State Senator York, of
Kansas who made the startling disclosure which
resulted in the defeat Of Pomeroy for the United
States Senate and subsequent arrest nn charges OF
bribery, the flrst witness examined by the
committee appointed to investigate the affair
The room was crowded even for theae sensational
days. and to the credit of those present be it said
they were much higher priced in appearance at
least than the men who have hung around the
committee rooms. York's statement was as clear
as the MONDAY sun. He told with sincerity
hat impressive OF his various inlerviews with
Pomeroy, and of receiving from him seven thou
sand dollars for his single vote. The cross-exam
nation to which York was subjected by United
States District Attorney Horton Of Topeka, rein.
forced by Caleb Cushing, was one of the mos
searching and skilful imaginable. This cross-ex
| animation had for its object to show that Yori
was engaged in conspiracy to ruin Fomeroyi tina
| he ingratiated himself into POmeroy's eonhdenc
to accomplish that object; that he has been incon
| sistent in the numerous explanations which h
has made upon the affair; that enough time elaps
ed between York's being searched and his visit I
| Pomeroy to have enabled him to have receive
the $1,000, which he claims to have been pal
him for his vote, from other sources, and that h
whole conduct makes his evidence unworthy {
belief; JohnsOn's testimony with regard to Yor
substantiates the latter in every particular. HO
ton and Simpson will be examined To- morrow
Besides the evidence of these responsible witnes
es, there will be the strongest kind OF corrobor
tive proofs brought forward to convict PomerC
! OF bribery.

RomOFy.

THE COMMITTEE RECOMMEND ITS PAYMENT.
Comparatively few of our people have ever
heard Of the heroic action Of Captain Hugh
Montgomery, Of this city, referred to in the
following dispatches from Washington:
WASHINGTON, February 1.-THE commit
tee on revolutionary claims has recommended
an appropriation OF 5000 to Elizabeth Mont
gomery, heir of Captain Hugh Montgomery,
of Wilmington, Del. The history of the case
is quite interesting. Montgomery was cap
tain of the brig Nancy, of Wilmington, which
was chartered in 1855 by Robert Morris, dis
patched TO the West Indies with cargo Of
flour, the proceeds to be returned TO the Uni
| ted States in gunpOwder and munitions OF
war. The cargo was sold and the brig was
privately loaded with 450 bblS. gunpOwder,
six four FOUNDERS, and sundry chests of small
| arms
Capt. Montgomery, with his valuable freight
when approaching the Delaware capes was in
tescepted by two British vessels OF war, bu
succeeded in beating OFF the enemy's boats un
til he landed pa barrels gnupowder and all th'
cannon and small arms. He then abandoned
his vessel and laid train and a match com
municating with the powder he left on board
The enemy's boats crews had scarcely takel
possession before the vessel blew up, and ever
one of them was killed. Subsequently MOnt
, gOmery was captured by a British cruiser, an
treated with great harshnesS, and imprlsone
i for a 10 ng time. The gunpOwder and arm
, which he landed were delivered safely into til
I hands of the patriot authorizes. All thes1 fac
:, are certified to in an original letter fro
= George Reed, one of the signers of the Decla
4 atisn of Independece, to his wife, dated Ju
l. 6, 1916, few days after the occurrence.
