A LATE number Of the Washington Ere,ling
Star says of the marriage Of Senator Christi
ancy:
The most interesting topic at the Capital to-day
was the marriage of Senator Christiancy OF Michi-
gan, this forenoon, to Miss Lille Ingerbee of the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing, Treasury De-
partment. The marriage took place where the
Senator and his wife had rooms and was a very
quiet affair, the ceremony being Witnessed by but
very few persons. Senator Ferry, who was the only
Senator present, ofiiciated groonasman, with
Miss Belle Linthicum as bridesmaid. The Senator,
who has now reached the age of 81, lost his wife
about nine months since. He is the father of six
4.
andis about 20 years of age It is understood that
the courtship quite brief, lasting but a few
weeks. When the name of Mr. Christiancy was
read in calling the roll of the Senate this after
noon, Mr.. Ferry, President pro tenn, said with
sly twinkle: 81 desire to state that my colleague
is paired"-a remark which created general laugh
ter all over the Chamber.
Nh. MICHAEL CLARK is an Alpena merchant
who holds that bank il, on general principles,
swindling establishment, and who undertook
to show his neighbors tho other day how for
tunes may be made by not patronizing it. He
had his two sons sleep in the same bed with
him, in room in his store. He locked the
store door securely and placed a heavy trunk
securely against the bedroom door. Then he
put his money-over S500-securely in his pan
his pillow. Nothing promotes sleep like clear
conscience and the consciousness that he had
not put money in rascaly bank made Mr..
Clark sleep profoundly. In the morning he
and his sons awoke refreshed and happy as men
OF rectitude should. He found his pantaloons
in the middle of the floor, with the money and
pretty much everything else of value in his
store missing. The experiment had worked
like charm and proved as he knew it would
his theory that fortunes may be made by not
patronizing bank, with this slight modifca-
ton, that il il not the merchant but the thief
that usually makes them.
LAST October +. w. Van Vleet late Deputy
Sheriff and Constable i'll East Saginaw, was az
rested charged with obtaining money under
false pretenses. 1t was shown at the examina-
ton that Van Vleet, who is married man,
having a wife and three children courted a
woman named Stanton, in Saginaw City, and
was engaged to be married TO her, and sue
ceeded by representing that he was worth
several thousand dollars in real estate and
other property in obtaining from Mrs. STAN
toms brother $500. He was held for trial at
the Circuit Coc.rt, and furnished bail in the sum
of $500 for his appearance. He was also sub
sequenty arrested, and put under $500 bonds
for perjury, and was convicted of assault and
battery on the woman. He appealed to the
Circuit Court and gave bail for his appear
ances. The cases come up at the present term
of the Circuit Court, but Van Yleet has
jumped" ball. and left the country. His

offer a reward for his apprehension. The prin-
cipal bondsman his brother, Jas. Van Vleet, is

An accident of the most distressing character
recently occurred at Iron City, Marquette
County, resulting i'll the death of Mrs. Agnes
Irwin, wife of Alexander Irwin, Of Republic
mine. Mrs. Irwin went at noon into the back
yard to the well to get pail of water, and
while in the act of drawing mp the bucket from
the well her foot slipped and she fell into the
WELL and in endeavoring to save herself she
caught hold of the rope which was, however,
only fastened by leather strap, barely sufti-
cient to support the weight of the bucket full.
This gave way and she was precipitated down
into the WELL depth of thirty-ive feet, at
which depth in consequence of the extreme
cold weather thick ice had formed around the
margin, against which the deceased struck and
was stunned, her face only lying in the water.
In this position the woman suffocated, and was
| found only an hour or 80 afterward, when
some men wishing to get some water found
that the buckets were down in the well, and In
fishing for them caught some pieces of calico
on their hooks. The lady was about twenty
eight years of age, and highly esteemed by the
whole community.
