Charles A. Goodman took great pains
to get a little money from Miss Roberts,
in Cincinnati. They boarded in the
same house, she being a dressmaker
and he reputed sx army officer. He
told her that he was very wealthy, al
though the fact was that he was a pen
niless a.iventurer. She fell in love with
him, but hesitated about marrying him
before learning something Of his ante.
cedents. One day he pretended to faint
away, and, on being put to bed, said
that his illness would quickly kill him,
as it was the result Of an old wound
which he had long known would finally
prove fatal. He expressed desire to
marry Miss Roberts before he died, and
bequeath her all his property. She
and they became husband
and wife. Then he recovered, permitted
his wife to pay his board for several
weeks, borrowed $50, all her earnings,
and disappeared.

MEssRs. EDITORS Il am misrepresent-

E. H. Chippey in an article headed
"Big Quarterly" Of the 18th inst, in
answer to an article had written say
ing that Bro. Chippey was one of the
leaders In the war against Sabbath
traffic. II understand his English
this he denies. The following il what
others who were present say about the
matter:
~ remember that Bro. L II. Chip
pey at one Of our preachers meetings
held in his church agreed, with US to
do all in his power to put down Sunday
traffic and everything that would tend
to violate the sanctity Of the Sabbath,
etc." L. Y. Cox.
"The speaker, Rev. Mr.. Chippey, in
the commencement Of his speech said
he heartily agreed with the resolution"
J. H. WHITE.
Rev.Mr. Chippey further states in the
same article that His Honor, the Mayor,
informed the committee Of preachers,
composed Of Revs. Ruby, Moore, Butler
and myself, that he had been waited
on relative to this matter. Ruby, But
Ter and myself deny that such informs-
tion whatever took place.
Not that We think Rev. Chippey
has not the highest appreciation of cor
rect statement but that he has been
wrongly informed, and his memory
through the multiplicity Of his clerical
responsibilities fails perhaps to hold
each curve, angle, and line Of the pic
ture of the occasion referred to. There
