A BIT OF SCANDAL.
4 Bridegroom Deserts His Bride
at the Altar.

some lew months ago young man of respect
able parentage, residing in the lower portion Of
this city, met fair and unsuspecting girl in So
ciety here. Lothario's manners were rather
pleasing, and being blessed with an unusual gift
gap, his innocent victim became quite enam-
ored with him, and an intimate acquaintance was
formed between the two.
Lotharlo paid frequent visits at the house Of
the GIRL and by his smooth hypocrisy at last be-
trayed the poor creature. Things went on thus
Tor tune, until the suspic ions of the girls pa
rents were aroused, and inquiring closely into
the state of affairs found their fears only too true
The father Of the girl Immediately went in search
OF the fellow, and finding him offered him the
choice between instant death or marriage. Lo.
thario instantly decided upon the latter and
made many professions Of infinite sorrow and re-
pentance, promising the father to wed the girl in
short time. Every preparation was made for
the nuptials; bridesmaids and groomsmen were
selected, wardrobes prepared and all prelmi-
nary arrangements for such an occasion tho
roughly attended to.
The night arrived when the poor girl should
be welded to the gay deceiver, as an alienation
Of her shame. All was in readiness-the house
was Illuminated friends and relatives were pres
ent, and everything was upon the tip-toe Of ex-
pectation, when suddenly, the bridegroom, in full
dress, white kids, ETC., rushed into the room and
announced that in the height of his joyful ex-
element he had forgotten to procure a license.
Of course the ceremonies could not proceed
without this indispensable, so Lothario in haste
ran ont to seek the nearest magistrate and pro-
cured the license. The hand of the clock on the
mantel slowly crept around the dial, and every
one became uneasy.
Another and another hour passed away, and
still Lothario came not, until at last one by one
the company took their leave, with many good
wishes for the bridegroom, whom they thought
had met with some serious accident.
The next morning the father of the girl made
inquiry at all the police stations for information
concerning hia expected son.in-law, but nothing
was heard. And now it has been two weeks since
the sudden disappearance of the girls betrayer.
News has been heard of him, but from q far off
city, where Lothario revels in single blessedness.

A BRUTAL MURDER.
A Man Kicks His Wife to Death.

About half-past o'clock yesterday afternoon q
difficulty occurred in q house on Constance
street, between Second and Third, between
Frank Lapine and his wife, Catherine Lapine, in
which the lady was assaulted and kicked in the
left side by her husband, who was considerably
under the infuenceof liquor.
In about fifteen minutes after the lady expired
without uttering word. It seems that Frank
Lapine, Who was carpenter by trade, came
to his house very much under the infunce of
liquor. On entering the door his wife approach
ed him and inquired whether he bad been paid
offor the two weeks that were due him for work
performed in the new st, Patrick's hall.
He answered yes, and pulling out the money
remarked thst Mr.. Fowler had paid him of, but
he needed the money and could not let her have

him counting the money to see how much he
had, when Lapene, who was very angry, jumped
up off the floor and kicked her in the side.
She walked to the sofa on the opposite side Of
after. The only witness to thesmurder was
young girl, about fourteen years u age, named
Katie Maxwell, daughter Of the lady by her
first marriage, who gave the above account Of the
horrible affair. tl3
The deceased is native of Ireland and about
40 years OF age, and was known as hard work.

hood, where she has resided for number Of
years, and leaves family Of five children to
mourn her loss. 49, @4} .i3#e
The accused, Frank lapine, was arrested and
locked up in the Sixth Precinct Station, where
he was interviewed, but refused to talk aboot the
sad occurrence that had taken place, being&t the
time still under the influence OF liquor. he is q
man about thirty-five years Of age, and native
of Canada. About seven years ago he married

REPUBLICAN, BUT NOT RADICAL.

It ia o source of congratulation to those
who have taken pains to obtain some knowl-
edge of the personnel Of the committee now
holding session in this city that. their IN
.uluiry has been amply repaid by the knowledge
acquired Of the past career of those gentle
men. OF course, with one exception, they
are known as members of the Republican
party and in thorough utilization with it in
measures necessary for its perpetuation, but
from the high and honorable characters they
enj ~ at their homes, we are sanguine they
will never sacrifice their individual honor to
save the disreputable usurpation now domi-
nant here.
There is wide and marked difference be-
tween what is known in general parlance as
"a Republican and a Radical One is of q
National party, the other, local confined en-
sxirely to the impoverished States of the South.
Those who are now here are not Radicals, al
though they are Republicans Justly enti-'
tied to their opinions, as is every citizen,
upon all questions of National polity, they
are not of that class to whom we would hest
tate a moment to cheerfully submit for arbi-
tration any question involving the liberties of
our State.
Decidedly and openly opposed to them in
politics, our firm confidence in their integ-
rity gives us a full reliance in the justice of
their coming verdict. With nothing to gain,
as this committee has certainly nothing to
expect from this present tedious labor, and
with reputation unstained during long
political career, we are satisfied whatever may
be their judgment on the Louisiana case
their motives in rendering it will be the best,
as they think, for the whole peoples and not
formed from a partisan point of view
Weawait with full confidence their award.
The truth is with US and "our quarrel is just.
