The Marriage eta Woman TO a Woman

Marancy Hughes was married in
September last to person who was
known as Samuel VI. Pollard. Her rel
atives opposed the ma tch, and she .lop-
cd and was married without their
knowledge, and a shor! time after their
marriage, Pollard confessed to her that
she was a woman: that she had trouble
with her relatives in the East; had lost
her property and assumed the dis
guiss Of a man for the reason that ave.
nue.. for making money would be open
to her in that character which would be
closed to her asa woman. Pollard has
never given her any particular reason
for doing her this great wrong, but is
believed to have been actuated by a fool
ish pride in appearing in the character
of married man. The victim was ash.
named to acknowledge that she had
been so imposed upon, and shrunk from
admitting the truth. Pollard, without
actually threatening her life, repeated
" animated that it would be bad for her
life If she exposed her, and so she kept
silence uutil fortnight ago, when her
aunt got an intlmation Of the fact
and questioned her closely, and she rela-
ted 10 her the whole story. The victim
says that the woman's real name is Sarah
NJ. Pollard, and that her trunk is filled
with feminine apparel. A complaint
was fled yesterday by J. G. Howerton,
accusing Pollard Of perjury in swearing
when he took out the marriage license,
that he was a male.-Nerada Times-Re-

FALL RIVER, MASS, May 2S.-By
the stoppage Of the Troy, Stafford, Flint,
Chace, Robessn, Wectamoc, the two
Tscumseh, the two Wampanoag mills,
beside the Border City, Sycamore and
Union, there are nearly 1900 out 30
600 looms remaining idle this week. Ii
il stated that other mills will shut
dewn next week. Some are running on
contracts and cannot stop at present.
Many here think the mills ought TO
havs stepped long ago, and that II the
movement should extend now through
the whole of New England, as trade
would be started in the fall, its impetus
would keep business moving. BY the
stoppage of the,e mills some 1000
operatives are thrown out Of employ
ment.
It's probable that most Of the mills
in the city now running will shut down
to morrow night. 1t is understood that
nearl all of them have signed an agree
ment to run on short time, and some,
if not q majority ofthem, will close to-
morrow night.

ST. LOUIS, June IA special from
Richmond, No., to the Times says
terrific cyclone passed over that place
about O'Clock this evening, leveling
to the ground over one-half the build
ings inj the town. Over one hundred
houses are totally destroyed, and the
los. Of property will reach quarter OF
a million dollars. Whole blocks were
completely swept away and debris
scattered for miles. The storm came
from south west, passed to northeast,
and was preceded by heavy fall Of
rain. Trees were uprooted and carried
through the air like feathers, as were
also the fragments Of houses, and in
fact everything the storm struck. The
Shaw House, a large brick hotel, was
demolished and its inmates buried in
the ruins. So far as known the follow
inc persons were killed: Mrs. Thomas
Casey, Miss Rose, Mr.. Nading, Miss
Crouch, Joseph Cambell, Mr. Hamil-
ton, Miss Holman, Mrs. Alvis Vaught.
Thos. Bohannap, Mary Joy. Many
were wounded.

perhaps than q man could walk, then
moved faster, leveling everything in it's
path with the ground, producing almost
complete devastation.
The remains of Capt. VIM. Jacobs
were found this morning buried in the
ruins, and Judge Donaldson, who was
reported drowned last night, is dead

DEATH OF EARL RUSSELL.

LONDON, May 2S.-Earl Russell died
at 1850 tonight at his residence at
Richmond. Alarming symptoms and
prostration commenced at two O'Clock
this afternoon.
The death of Earl Russell removes
from English politics the venerable OF
English statesmen. Lord John Russell
he was not elevated to the peerage
until lS61-was the third son CT the
,ixth Duke of Bedford, and was born
in London August IS, 1892. After lin
,.hinc his education at Edinburgh he
travelled in Spain and Portugal. the rest
of the continent being about that time
disturbed BY the Peninsular war, and az
coon as he reached his majority came
into Parliament ~ a wing for the family
bersugh of Tavistock. This was IN
1913, and his subsequent career covers
moro than half century of active Pc
lltical life. He advocated Catholic en-
aucipatation and carried it, and carried
the repeal of the test and corporation
acts. In 1880 he first took Office be-
coming paymaster Of the forces and
under the Grey ministry carried through
the reform bill ID the Commons. lie

ministry came in but the next year was
back again as secretary Of state, first for

rod he was really the head ofthe MIN

in 1916 to become prime minister. lie

went back TO power with the Aberdeen
ministry. Retiring again in 1853, he
soen had place as colonial secretary IN

Crimean war to close, but, public sen
tinent bein. against him, he resigned

ofthe state. Americans will chiefly re-
member him for his management OF
the English fersign Office during the late
civil war. The Mexican expedition, the
Polish vote Of 1868, and the Denmark
blunder were salient features OF his ad'
minlstration. In 1865, fer the first and
last time, he became prime minister,

chequer, bat went out the following
