Religion Breaks Up a Marriage.

Religion Breaks Up Marriage.
 COLUMBUS, Dec. 5.-Miss Carrie Platt is slowly recovering from brain fever, induced by the failure of William c. McMahon to marry her. Her brother still threatens to an nihilate McMahon on sight. The latter is a strict Catholic and the Platt family are Epis- copalians. Arrangements had been made whereby Bishop Watterson should celebrate the marriage and then the Rev. Mir. Babcock perform the Episcopalian service, but while the guests were waiting McMahon sent note declaring the marriage impossible, as the Bishop threatened communication as the penalty for submission to the Protestant mar riage ritual. The expectant bride is the daughter of Calvin A. Platt of the Gas com- pany and cousin of Miss Fannie Platt, mar ried at the White House two years ago to General Rawlins of Illinois. McMahon was yesterday discharged from his position as travelling salesman for the Davis Furniture company at Louisville, Ky, and left ostensi- ply for this city. He has not yet arrived Among the guests were several newspaper men, and by stress of courtesies compact was made to suppress the occurrence, but one correspondent proved faithless.

The report of pistol was heard immediate ly after, and itwas discovered that Gillen had shot himself.

A Half Million Dollar B1aze.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Yesterday fire broke out in the Kearsage mills, which is said to have caught from piece of waste in the hands of an employe that came in contact with a gas jet and took fire, the flames instantly creep ing along the oily surface and taking every thing in its course, the wind blowing quite hard at the time and, though the entire fire department was promptly on the spot, it fail ed to check the fire. It is reported that a man named Greenwood, an employe, was burned to death in the mill, while several were badly scorched and cannot recover. The loss is estimated at not far from $500, 900; :; besides throwing out of employment nearly $50 operatives upon majority of whom must fall much suffering this winter unless something be done for their relief.

When arrested he had on two pairs of pants, the under one of which he acknowledged having worn when he shot Miss Sigerson. When asked why he shot himself he replied he wanted to die. The burden of his talk all night was about Mary. He said: 1T have nothing to live bullet for myself, and that she should wit ness my death, and would rather meet her in heaven than live without her." He also said when the doctor was probing the wound, ''I might go back to New York and be &C., quilted, but I don't wish to live after my little girl.'' He also said that it had been his resolve ever since the occurrence to kill him. self rather than be arrested and stand trial. He gave no account of himself since he left New York. He was delirious at times, and continually mentioned Mary's name. He died at half-past o'clock this afternoon, af ter suffering great agony.

Much of the increase is due to the heavy movement in produce and provisions, partic- ularly the latter; but a much larger portion is on account of the activity in every indus try and to the continuance and growth of business in the Northwest. Similar reports of prosperity come from all sections of the country tributary to Chicago, and there is universal encouragement at the prospects of the future. Farmers are now confident of getting good prices for their magnificent crops and are giving an impetus to all other branches of business and trade.

The Traversers' TriaIs-An Application
 for POstpOnement Denied.
 DUBLIN, December 5.-The princi- pal interest in the Court of Queens Bench yesterday was in the decision on the application to postpone the trials of MT. Parnen and others The affidavit of MT. Parnen was submitted, showing that his Par iamentary duties would be interfered with if he were kept from the Commons while the trial was going on, and showing that he had done everything he could to get an early trial. The Attorney General presented a strong argument against the petition of the traversers. The Chief Justice then summed up the case and denied the application, say ing, large portion of the people, ,instigated by the Land League, had practised system of dishonesty. Owing to unauthorized con- spiracy the people were so terrified that they were afraid to assert their rights. If MT. Parnell had to complain of anything it was of himself and his associates. He had endeav- ored to procure alterations of law by violent speeches and menaces, and he had nobody but himself to thank if he was in an awkward position in regard to his Parliamentary du- ties
