A Marriage in a Livery Stable.

Two young people arrived on an
afternoon train in the city yesterday.
They walked hurriedly up Ludlow
street. and, stopping at Fourth, they
turned into Mumma's livery stable and
inquired of the proprietor if they could
have horse and buggy for few hours.
He assured them that a vehicle was ut
their disposal.
The young man seemed somewhat
fiurried and in doubt. After looking at
the lady a moment he turned to Mr..
Mumma again and inquired, rather
falteringly:
You haven't got any place here
where we can get married, have youP'
Somewhat taken aback, Mr.. Mumma
looked at them a moment, then
scratched his head, and replied:
"Well, I've got sort of parlor
right here that [ can fix up for you in
three minutes. It's carpeted, got a
sofa in it, and lots of pictures; better
looking place than many you'll find"
"That will do splendidly," said the
young man. Can you get us min
ister?n
" In five minutes said Mr. Mumma.
"Well, I'll 90 get license, and, my
dear" said he to the lady, "you re-
main here till return"
In ten minutes the young man was
back with his license. Mr.. Mumma
was at hand with Rev. w. j. Shuey,
and in five minutes John Henry Glib
bard and Frank Bancroft were man and
wife.
The young man drew a sigh of relief,
looked at the lady, and, paying no at
tention to those about him, put his
arms around her and imprinted fond
kiss on her lips, that was returned as
fondly, and whispered in her ear:
Safe, darling"
"Would you like to have a marriage
certificate?" asked the minister.
40 no; we dom t care for that so long
as we're married. Do we, FrankiePn
The lady nodded acquiescently.
Now we want to ride about for an
hour, but to be back in time for the
Cincinnati train"
Here's your buggy" said Mr..
Mumma.
They returned in an hour, and left
on the train at the Union Depot bound
for Cincinnati. The last words they
were heard TO utter, as he hugged her
affectionately to his side, were:
"We're safe now, frankie" and she
looked up into his eyes confidingly and
replied;
1--WE is. ."-Dayton Journal.

The Tilton-Beecher Scandal.

NEW YORK, April l6.
That some further litigation will fol-
low Mrs. Tilton's confession is general
ly cCnceded but it is not definitely
known in what shape it will be brought
up. The first step, it is believed, will
be taken by Plymouth Church. Some
members of the church will make a
charge against Mrs. Tilton, accusing
her of having slandered her pastor. The
charges will have to be investigated by
the Examining Committee, who will re-
port to the congregation. 1t is not be-
lieved by the members of Plymouth
Church that Mrs. Tilton will make any
defense.
The trial of Mr.. Beecher, upon action
brought against him by Theodore Til
ton to recover $50, 600, is held to be still
in abeyance, as the jury failed to agree,
and Il new jury can be impaneled and
the whole evidence brought out again,
with the addition of Mrs. TIlton's CON
fession.

Mr.. Beecher lectured this evening to
large audience, and was warmly re-
ceived. He said to-day that for more
than four years Mrs. Tilton had been
denying the truth of what was called
her a" original confession in court, be-
fore the church and before committees.
She had asserted her innocence, and
this would more than offset anything
she might say now. Her latest state
ment was instigated by a desire for a
reunion with her husband and was the
price she paid for asserting the same.
If Mrs. Tilton had felt so conscience
stricken she would have made her state
ment to the church and not to the news
papers. Mr.. Beecher has received
large number of kilograms to-day as
surfing him that the confession has fall
en- fiat upon the country, and has pro-
duced no impression upon his friends.

WITHDRAWAL NEGOTIATIONS.


A correspondent at st. Petersburg
says: Discussion relative to withdrawal
from Constantinople continues in
friendly spirit. AS it concerns tech
nicalities requiring the advice of spe-
cialists on the spot it may be protracted.
If England and Russia agree regarding
withdrawal it will be necessary to OBJ
tain guarantee from the Porte that it
will offer no obstacle to the re-establish-
ment of the status qltO in the event of the
failure of further negotiations. Russia
will probably be somewhat eXacting on
this point, as she is convinced that, in
case of hostilities, the Porte would not
side with her. 1t is quite possible that
this point will cause serious difficulties,
for the Turkish diplomatists have little
reason to desire peaceful solution.
Sr. PETERsBURd, April 22.
The Agence RuSse confirms the report
that the proposition for the stimuli
taneous withdrawal of the British fleet
and the Russian forces from the vicinity
of Constantinople has been accepted in
principle, and adds that negotiations
continue relative to withdrawal and to
a preliminary conference to settle the
programme of the congress.

THE RESULT OF GERMANY's EFFORTS.


ST.. PETERSBURG, April 20.
The Agence RuSSe mentions the news
that Germany has proposed the with
drawal of Russian troops and the Brit
ish fleet from Constantinople.
ST. PETERsBURG, April q.
The principle of simultaneous with
drawal of the Russians and the English
from the immediate neighborhood of
Constantinople was accepted in Lon
don and st. Petersburg, but as soon as
its application came to be discussed
serious difficulties arose. Each party
was afraid of losing by the transaction.
The Russians think if the British fleet
retires to Besika Bay they ought to
withdraw only days march. The
English maintain that they ought to
withdraw to Adrianople, which is a
twenty-four hours railway journey dis
tance from Constantinople.
Another disturbing element is the
fear that the Porte may take advantage,
in the absence of foreign forces, to in
crease the land Notifications or close
the Dardanelles, according as the Brit
ish or Russian influence is predom-
inant.
1t appears that both the English and
Russian Cabinets are willing to accept
the principle that the congress meet to
examine the changes necessary in the
existing treaties, but England insists on
a clear and formal recognition of the
wide principle that all great changes
in the East, such as those proposed by
the treaty of San Stefano, constitute
European and not merely Russo-Turk-
ish question. Russia's acceptance of
this principle will greatly depend on
the way in which it is formulated.

If he succeeds, he is allowed travelling ex-
