formed. The parties thereto are, we
believe, spiritualists, and the form oi
marriage was according to certain
tenets of that belief:
" Friends and FSllolU. Citizens, Ladies
and Gentlemen
"We, Gardner Knapp and La Mira
P. Hobbs, believing that our hearts
and souls are already matrimonially
united, appear before you now, thus
publicly, to celebrate the consumma-
ton of our union.
1--WE bold the opinion that neither
Church nor State has any moral or
equitable rights to interfere with, or
any just claim to be consulted in ref
erence to, the arrangements that our
spontaneous sentiments and sympa.
thies have prompted us to make.
Therefore, in non-conformity to,
and disregarding the rules and regula-
tions in such cases made and provid-
ed by what Is called society, we adopt
such form and ceremony as in our
judgments and conseiences seem most
just and proper.
"And now, in the presence of these
witnesses and of our invisible spirit
friends here assembled, we proclaim,
publish, and declare ourselves husband
and wife and may God and the
angel world add their blessings"

An ImpOrtsnt Discovery.

G.. w. Lloyd, the architect, desired
some fire-proof brick the other day for
the floor OF a new barn, but when he
learned the cost per thousand he de-
termined to experiment a little with
some eonmon brick. He procured q
few hundred and had them delivered
on the vacant lot on Michigan avenue
between Third and Fourth streets,
where they were placed in big vat,
such as PAYERS use in which to heat
their tar, and allowed to absorb the
hot tar for four hours. In that length
of time the bricks were as black as the
tar itself, and soaked full of it, and
when allowed to cool of it was found
that their solidity had been greatly
increased. A reporter of the Free
Press yesterday struck one OF the brick
eight or ten hard blows before he could
even break piece of, and to strike
one with hammer Is like striking a
rock. Subjected to the same tests as
the regular fire. proof brick, the tar
soaked brick came out finely. To de-
termine their fire-proof qualities, a
number of the brick were passed into
the blazing furnace, and after severe
test they came out without flaw or
q crack; in fact, they were rendered
stronger and tougher for the baking,
and it was almost impossible to break
one. Mr.. Lloyd will use the brick
thus prepared for the stables, and will
then, If the Council grants permission

ncnt crossing to test their merits fol

where the galieys are kept. The COM
mandant, rs q compliment to his

to make the best use Of this privilege,

Mur der and Suicide.

FRANKLIN, o., July l6.
This morning, about l o'clock, one
John Kaiser, q German by birth, liv-
ing on Center street, shot his wife
(while sleeping) through the head,
killing her instantly, and then shot
himself. He was found dead upon the
arrival of the neighbOrs, who were
aroused from their slumbers by the
cries OF the little boy who was sleep
ing in the same apartment where the
tragedy occurred, and was awakened
by the shot which destroyed his moth
er's life, and was witness to lis faith
er's self-destruction.
This man Kaiser has been resident
of this place about twenty years, q
boot and shoemaker by trade, and was
formerly an Industrious aud prosper
Gus man, doing q good business. OF
late years the demon of intemperance
entered his once happy home, and he
descended rapidly the inclined plane
to q drunken murderer's grave. Five
children are thus orphaned, and live
to deplore the loss of good, kind, af-
fectionste mother.

The Revival OF Business.

The fnsl settlement of the currency
question and the adjournment Of Con-
gress we predicted would be followed
by q revival of prosperity. So it is
proving. From the day the President
signed the new currency bill there has
been a pereeptible improvement in
nearly ali forms of business. The in
quiry for all kinds of goods has been
on the increase ever since, and the
prospects for large fall trade are ex-
ceIlent. The iron industry, which Is
usually first to suffer and the last to
recover from financial or commercial
disturbances, has been almost COM
pletely prostrated since last fall. But
even in this branch, matters are now
decidedly looking up. The Cambria
Iron Works, the most extensive in
the country, have resumed, and are
now running their rolling mills night
and day. Nearly all the furnaces
throughout the State are still idle, but
preparations for blowing in many OF
Them are said to be already in pro-
gress.-PsiLddelplid Press.

is at Jacques side.
"Dear Jacques, 1 am going," she
murmured almost inaudibly, land yet

Annette married before my death

did not reply. He knelt by the bed

continued. "You were betrothed in

soon after and she went to live with
her uncle, who has never favored

Thomas Collins, Esq.

This gentleman has become some
what extensively known during the
past few weeks; his exact where
abOuts at present writing is rath-
er uncertain, however, neverthe-
less any body desirOus of getting on
his track, has only to enquire at any
OF the business houses ana follow care
fully directions that may be given.
The mythical 'rom Collins" was first
started in New York City and was
perpetrated as joke on the newspa-
ler reporters, who, when the Mayor
OF New York was to appoint a police
commissioner, were very anxious to
learn the name OF the fortunate indi-
vidual. The City Hall Clerks took ad-
VANTAGE Of the occasion To get I'D 8
sell, and after arranging matters with
hotel keepers they Informed the re-
porters the new commissioner was
Tom Collins: None of them knew
him. 1t was stated that he was stop
ping at the AstOr, and the reporters
made break for that hotel. There
they were informed that be had lust
gone to the Metropolitan, and the
whole corps of New York reporters
visited half the hotels of the city in
one short night to learn at last that
Tom was but the offspring of some
wagis simaglnatiOH. Therapeutics gave
no account of their hunt for the new
Commissioner, but did all they could
to perpetuate the Joke, succeeding
most admirably. the representatives
ofAllen PinkertOn's Detective Agency
in Chicago were informed by the most
reliable authority that Tom Collins
was ''paP of Roberts, the New YORK
railroad bond thief, and that he was
stopping in Chicago, frequently chang
ing his hotel. A telegram was at once
sent to Mr. Robert PInkerton, of New
York, requesting that extradition pa
pers be obtained for the arrest OF q.
well known bond fOrger. Then de-
tectives were sent out over the city
with orders to shadow Tom Collinsb
and arrest him at all hazards II he at
tempted to leave the city. After a
search of several hours the myth
searchers returned exhausted with IA
tigue and embittered with rage at
having been sold.
In Cleveland fine looking old gen.
teman seated IN a palace car was
guardedly accOsted as Mr.. Collins by
a polite young man and amazed at the
request for a position on his new air
line railroad, To the amusement OF e
group of the einitiated who stood laugh
ing in the background. The man or
woman in search of an occupation is
sent by some idiot on a FOOLS errand
for miles in search of this myth. He
is represented as standing at the head
of every enterprise, and taking live
ly interest in every thing that con-
Germs mankind. The myth was in
trOduced in Delaware not many even
ings since by certain parties sending
one of the policemen t. arrest "POm"
as nuisance. he got un his track,
and after tracing him from store to
store finally gave it up, and is now
ready to arrest anybody who says
"Tom Collins" TO him. Later, others
were taken in, and as we write Fom"
is a well-tO-dO farmer in quest OF
harvest hands, whom he will pay
three dollars dAy.-Deid,0dre Ga
