Miss Kitty Minugh, prepossessing
blonde, who resides ON st. Paul's ave-
nue., Jersey City Heights, and is en-
ployed in LOrillard's tobacco factory,
was to have been married to a respecta-
BILE young man who resides on Pacific
avenue. The appointed time and
place for the ceremony were 3 o'clock
Sunday afternoon at St. Joseph's
church, on Baldwin avenue At that
hour the bride and groom and few in
innate friends repaired to the church.
As the officiating clergyman was about
to pronounce the solemn words which
would make them man and wife, the
bride suddenly turned and fled out of
the church at the top of her speed. The
groom and spectators were filled with
CONSERVATION, but nothing was left for
them To do but to return home and
seek an explanation. What transpired
at the brides house is not publicly
known, but in the evening the bridal
party returned to the church, the thread
of the ceremony was taken up where
the brides sudden caprice had dropped
it in the afternoon and carried through
to the end without further Interrupt

Cheese Men Alarmed.
New York Herald

The cheese market is filled with con
sternation and excitement. A rapid
tumble in the price of that article has
caused the dealers to view with alarm
the probability of still further decline
Affairs have not quite reached a panic
but the end is not yet, and some of the
operators fear the worst, the decline II
prices being unprecedented. AT Ger
tain seasons there is always n drop IL
the quotations, and about this time the
usual falling off is expected, But thu
summer the downward tendency has
been so great as to threaten to ruin the
cheese mongers. The market is very UNI
settled and weak. In f9ct, under nc
circumstances can it be now said that
cheese is strong. even Limburger, III
one sense of the word, failing to come
up to its well-deserved reputation.
Several prominent cheese dealers who
were interviewed at the Butter and
Cheese Exchange yesterday, expressed
the opinion that ''the situation is grave.
One gentleman said: THE depression
was never so great in any season. The
unsettled market is partly in sympathy
with a decline in the English market
and partly because of our excessive
production and the bad weather. Since
last Tuesday the market has declined
from If cents to 50 cents, and II still
tending downward We are all writing
TO our manufacturers and producers &c

goods so as to diminish the stock here
and steady the market. If the produc
ers do not do this they will simply ruiz

much overstocked"

EDWARD RILEY'S WIFE.
He Finds Her After Seeking for Her
For Twenty Years.


Mr.. Edward Riley, of New York City,
found his wife in Newport, KY, yester-
day, after long and faithful search of
twenty years. The story connected
with his travels being romantic, we give
it in full. In 1861 Edward Riley enlist
ed in Company q, One Hundred and
Fiftieth Regiment, New York Nolun-
teers. Soon after his enlistment the
regiment was ordered to "tive service.
In the battle Of Man ), III 1864,
Riley was captured a AIKEN to Libby
Prison. where he r ined until the
end of the war. AT was liberated
he returned to New ity IN search
of the wife he had e ut for several
DAYS could find no to her where
abouts. He ut leng,. learned that she
had left New York several years before
for Pittsburg, where she had engaged
herself as domestic in respectable
family, but had the misfortune to be a
victim of a coal-oil disaster, and was
buried in graveyard near the Smoky
City. Mr.. Riley searched the city over,
but could find nothing that would es-
tablish the truth of the above story.
He did not give up, but, like devoted
husband concluded to search for her
until death overcame his exertions.
Mrs. Riley had supposed that her hus-
band was a victim of leaden missile,
and with her children came to New
port, KY, where she had a brother liv-
ing by the name of Patrick Mullen.
Yesterday morning. about S O'Clock,
who should walk into the house but her
husband Her CONSERVATION was in
describable. She recognized the famili-
ar face, although changed by time and
trouble. The usual embracing, tear
shedding, hand-shaking, etc, followed
the meeting and the happy twain were
last night in the seventh heaven of fe-
licitous enjoyment of life's blessings:
The son, now married, was overioyed
1T seeing his long-lost father, and the
no ppy family group was as beautiful q
spectacle as eve ever witnessed.

A SLAVE AND SPY.
The Remark able Adventure Of No
ted Mississippi Fiddler.
W ashlnSton Miss. GaZett

" dsiiliSloiI kAllsS.J Nuhcttc.
In 1868 Gen Pemberton commanded
at this point Col Hemingway owned
faithful slave-Peyton by name-a
noted negro fiddler, known for miles
around and highly respected by both
black and white. When his young
master, w. Lynn Hemingway, at pres
ent state treasurer of Mississippi, joined
the old Carroll Rifles" he took Peyton
along as Il trusted servant. He went
with him into Virginia, and returned
homo in 1868. In February or March
of that year faithful spy was needed to
visit the Federal gunbOats then coming
down the river ON Fort Pemberton.
Peyton Mt once undertook the mission,
and representing himself as n fugitive
slave to the commanders of the boats,
was well received. Being bright far be-
yond ordinary, he managed to secrete
their official. papers, maps, etc, and
escaped with these documents to Fort
Pemberton. After the fall of Nicksburg,
in July following, Peyton went with his
young master again to Virginia, where
he remained until the surrender of Gen.
Lee. The former, being compelled to re-
main number of days thereafter, in or
der to comply with the formalities of the
surrender, sent Peyton ahead of him
home; he was betrayed to the enemy by
some confederate as the spy who had de-
ceived them above Fort Pemberton. was
captured and carried in irons to New
York, thence to Cuba, and sold as Il
slave, together with many others. The
vessel on which he was taken was Il
Federal gunboat In Cuba he worked
as Il slave in factories for nearly fifteen
years, being entirely cut off from all
communications with home and friends.
He made seven attempts to escape
from bondage, all but the last, of
course, being unsuccessful. Finally he
found an American vessel, commanded
by a Southerner, to whom he related
the history of his capture, enslavement
and forced exile, and begged to be re-
turned to his home and family. He
secreted him in the hold of his vessel,
carried him to Costa Rica, thence to
New York. PeytOn then worked his
way to Virginia, where n number of
ladies raised the means to return HIM
to his home after an absence of seven
teen years. He reached Winona, Mis-
sissippi, on the 10Th of April, 1880. Pey-
ton says that numbers of mullattO wO-
men are being constantly sold in Cuba
us slaves. Northern men marry them,
take them to Cuba on bridal tour"
and there sell them as cooks and fancy
house servants. He saw one sold last
fall by the man who had married her, for
$500; and further, that as he came
through Cincinnati on his way home,
he saw the man, and recognized him,
who sold her in Cuba. The facts above
given are from one of the most reliable
and responsible gentlemen in Mississip-
pi, written to a distinguished member
of congress from that state.

Smoking in Germany.

1t appears that the German govern
ment has taken the matter of smoking
seriously in hand, the practice being
carried to so great an excess by the
youth of that country that il has been
considered to have damaged their CON
situations and incapacitated them for
the defense of their country In GER
tain towns of Germany, therefore the
police have had orders to forbid all lads
under is years to smoke in the streets
and to punish the offense by fine and
imprisonment. Moreover, a Belgian
physician has ascertained, during a
a journey of observation and inquiry
made at the request of the Belgian
government, that the use Of tobacco is
the main cause Of color blindness, an
an affection that has oceassioned very
considerable anxiety both in Belgium
and Germany, from its influence upon
railway and other accidents, and also
from the military point of view
An effort is being made to domesti
cate uheasants in Eastern Pennsylvania.
