Yesterday another act In the Johnson Bow ling
wedding was performed, which added new mys-
teres to the quickly changing scene In this latest
OF dramas. That the public feel any particular
interest in the affair Is hardly supposabe case,
but In order that they may be made acquainted
with the facts as they occur, the proceedings are
gwen. when the last statement was made the
young lady had heen taken In charge by her
mother, and hidden away mt some point where 1t
was thought she could not be reached by her
husband.
This was all very well, hut johnson knew q
thing or two, and concluded It would he less ex-
penslve and more satisfactory for him 10 resort
to stratagem than ~ legal means TO recover his
spouse. So he bided his time, and has been re-
warled, as all patient people will ever be.
1t appears that after gaining control OF her
daughter the mother, feariDg some process OF
law, quietly took her TO the residence Of friend,
near 81. AIOyslus church, and there left herewith
strict instructions TO remain concealed until such
time as she called for her.
In the meantime friendly and legal advice was
consulted, and II had been determined that, for
a period ut least, the young lady should become
an inmate OF the House OF Good Shepherd In
Baltimore, u communication being at once ad-
dressed to those In charge OF the institution but
no reply was received. Being constantly en-
ployed at the store aud home on Thursday, no
opportunity was afforded the mother Of visiting
her daughter, aud the latter yesterday, becoming
restless, concluded to venture from her conceal.
ment and essay q visit home, an idea which was
at once put IN practice.
No interruption was met with until Four-and-
ahalf street, between street and Pennsylvania
avenue, was reached, and here she met that
fate she mad stunned and fought against for two
days. johnson, who only the day before, had
been loud In his declarations that he would never
take his wife by forcible measures, for some un-
explained reason was around the neghborh0Od,
apparently watching every one that came or de-
parted from that vicinity. His vigilance was
well rewarded, for, while looking up Four and-a-
half street. Just at the hour when the shadows
OF night began to lengthcn on the pavement he
esped Il familiar figure approaching from the
direction OF the CITY Hall. As II drew near he
was convinced that he was not mistaken, and II
required only a few minutes TO recognize the
form and features Of his bride.
A hack, fortunately or not. happened to be
standing near, into which, ~ the wife came up
TO him, she was quickly thrust, and both driven
rapidly away by the ''cabby," whittier none but
those Three Know. A visit was paid the mother
yesterday morning by n reporter OF the ItEPUB-
LICAs, who found her overwhelmed with grief.
She gave no additional information on tho sub
ject, except that she Will pursue the couple no
further, bnt let the consequences OF her daugh-
teIs deed fall upon her head. She says that
henceforth she Will pray hourly for her death,
and the bearer Of the news Will be welcome
