ing toward her that had stolen over him upon
reading of her sad case, and asking her to cor
respond with him. Miss Bell was greatly puz-
zled at receiving such a strange missive, and
went to her parents for advice. After much
discussion, and the calling in of some con-
fdential friends, it was decided to write to the
postmaster at Phillips place of residence, and
learn whether or not the gentleman was what
he claimed for himself. An answer soon came,
saying Phillips was of the standing and char
acter named, and he owned considerable prop
erty, and was altogether a very fine fellow.
This statement settled the mind of Miss Bell in
the matter, and she replied to the gentleman's
letter. 70 this an answer came, and was in
tn turn acknowledged by the girl, until at last
Phillips asked her for her heart and her hand.
This was accepted and the Iowan came on here
and met the object of his affection. A warm
attachment at once sprang up between the
couple, and they were married. The ceremony
was performed on Thursday evening last, but
the romance of the case was kept from tho
pubic for the time being, owing to the urgent
request of the parents of the girl The case is
certainly most remarkable, and one that will
naturally attract widespread attention. It is
understood the couple will take up their abode
vt the old home of Phillips in the State of Iowa.
where they will no doubt live long and happily
together. The fatherless child, that proved at
once curse and blessing, is alive and as fat
and as saucy as can be, 1t will be taken with
the couple to their western home, and given
every needed attention.

About two months ago the seventeen yea.
old daughter Of George Bell, constable, found
herself in delicate predlcament, owing to her
indiscretlons with Panhandle brakeman
named George Galloway, and whom she had
loved well but unwisely. At this discovery the
boy was arrested and bound over to court On
the way to Jail, however, the willy youth sue
ceeded in eluding the officer. and escaped from
the city, from which day he has never been
seen here After this little episode New York
police paper published an illustration of the
escape, and also gavea somewhat touching &C
count of the girls wrongs: Among those who
read the article and viewed the picture was one
Solomon c. Phillips, a rich widower, who lives
away out in Iowa. Somehow or other the stor:
struck tender chord in his soul. and with
true manly feeling he determined to find out
something more Of her, and, if she proved as
worthy of his love and pity as the article had
led him to believe, to make her his wife, Ac-
cordingly he wrote her . letter stating the feel

Ex-senator Conkling's Campaign.
On the 10th there were two ballots taken for
each vacancy, but with no material changes.
The special bribery committee held long SEES
knew Samuel II. Bradley, who alleges that an
attempt was made to bride him by Mr. SESSIONS
and went on to relate how Bradley had inform,
ed him (Sharpe) of the transaction aud had
turned over to Sharpe the money. He was
cross questioned at length by counsel for Ses-
sions, but nothing more important was elected.
On the 18th there were votes on both va
cancies, but very small, a large number of
members being paired. There were no sug-
gestive changes. The investigation of the Ses-
sions- Bradley bribery case was continued, with
some testimony adverse to Bradleys character.

same as before, with no indications of a seri-
GUS break in any direction. In the inveshgat-

his vote so little that he was ready to give it
away, and voluntarily to vote for Depew.
OnWednesday, 1 9Th: one ballot was taken for
each vacancy-the vote for the several candi-
dates running about the same as usual In the
investigating committee Mr.. Sessions was on
the stand most of the time Very little refer
ence was made to the Bradley case, except as
to the motives that led to the interview in Mr..
Bradley's room, rather in Mr.. Sessions room.
On Thursday, June 16. the only marked
feature in the balloting was the dropping of
Rogers (rep.) for the short term and the voting
for Mr.. Wheeler, which ran his vote up to thir-
ty-eight, placing his score higher than Senator
Conkling's, thus leaving candidate for each
vacancy receiving more votes than Conkling
and Platt The score for Depew was the same
as the day before, but he lost one-that of Sen
ator Foster, who changed to Cornell There was
exhibited a disposition to end the dead lock in
some way. The investigation revealed nothing

He Reiterates His Opinion in Favor Of Conk.
ling and Talks about New Party.
From an Interview in Chicago
Senator Conkling did more than any one man
to elect Gen. Garfield and gain victory for the
republican party. The move of appointing
Robertson and making an attack upon Conk-
ling was not only i'll advised, but was accom-
panied by such apparent evidence of intention
al assault that Conkling conld do nothing else
but fight and finally appeal to his constituents
to susta in him against the wrong. The senate
should have stood by him to man, and it was
entirely foreign to the Office of the president to
use influences to defeat him there The plan
of withdrawing all other nominations until the
Objectionable one was confirmed, was an unfair
way of using executive influences and was TAX
ing an eminently unfair advantage. There
can be but little question that the secretary of
state is responsible, in q great degree, for the
difficulty. Even if he favored the appointment
OF Robertson, it should not have been made
for, in Directing, Conkling had the right Of
precedent and republican usage When I was
acting as president, if single senator from
any state objected to an appointment. it was
not made, although some cabinet officer might
have favored it. I do not believe that Secre
tary Window, in whose department the appoint
AOao VI AOUoI tsOu COueS, favored dis COn1r-
nation in the face of the senior senator from a
state like New York
The administration seems to have captured a
good many newspapers, but I believe pnblic
sentiment to be mainly on the side of Conkling
and Platt Since my return every republican 1
have met, with one exception, has held that
the senators should be sustained and that the
fight against them is unjust and hurtful to the
best interests of the party.

but l think it has never been in print The
late Senator Bogy of Missouri was anxious to
have pension bill passed one day for a con-

to ask support for it. He approached the COL

"Now look here, Bruce, vote for this, won't

you can carry it through forme. It is a meri-
