"And who is she?"
stThe belle of st. Louis"
An interview was arranged, in the
course of which Amweg says the lady
told him she had received ninety nine
offers of marriage, one of them from an
old man IN New York, worth $5O, 0OO. 900;
that he was Democrat (meaning Tilden),
and she was Democrat, but that she
could not marry where she did not love.
He says that she went on to tell him that
he tAmweg) was the only gentleman who
had touched her heart. Amweg says that
he replied that he hadn't $5 bill in the
world, and that he would just as soon
settle in st. Louis as anywhere. Several
notes, he alleges, passed between them;
and two photographs, upon the back OF
one of which was written: "Yours until
death us do part, Nellie. Naturally all this
good fortune, real or alleged, turned Am
weg's head, and he confided the matter to
two or three dozen friends, besides writ.
ing home to his mother that he was goine
to get married, and sending her one Of
the letters which he claims to have re-
eeived. Of course the story spread.
Last Monday night Miss Hazeltine and
her mother left for the White Sulphur
Springs, in Virginia, where they now
are. The Hazeltines are proud people
and revolve in the top circle. Somebody
repeated Amweg's awful allegations to
young Will HaZeltine. His blood was
fired, and he called into consultation
Fred Paramour, the son of the railroad
magnate. Mr.. Paramour; it is under
stood, had right to act in the matter,
having been very attentive to Miss Ha-
zeltine. Last evening the opera singer
found himself in a room with Paramour
Hazeltine, and mutual friend named
Lynn. Amweg says paper was pro-
duced which they insisted upon his sing
ing, this being retraction of what he
had said regarding Miss Hazeltine. He
refused, and defed them to come
out one at time, as the Irish
man did the comets; but after further
parley and threatening they sailed in and
pummeled him badly. He says they
knocked him down and beat him terribly
young Hazeltine using a whip, raising
several large bumps, and beating his
face and jaw badly. For several minutes
they kept up this performance, and Am
veg defended himself with as much pluck
and nerve as he was capable of under the
circumstances. Amweg states that young
Hazeltine drew revolver and said: 81
have mind to shoot you like a dog -
when Mr.. Lynn, or one Of the others,
said: "Put up your pistol; he is not
worth shooting" Finally Amweg signed
an order giving the others access to his
baggage at the boarding house, and one
of them went off and got the photographs
and notes. They then told Amweg that
the laundrymaid to the Hazeltine man.
sion had been carrying on masquerade
with him under the name of her young
mistress. This Amweg refuses to admit,
and, with an aching head, insists that it
was the belle of St. Louis who
fell in love with him The
scandal leaked out this even
ng, and Mr.. Parameur m axes himself
the gallant champion of the young lady
by issuing long manifesto "to whom it
may concern" declaring that Axaweg's
fllrtee is the laundry maid; but all the
town talks. Amweg belongs to highly
respectable Philadelphia family, and his
father is a well known lawyer there. His
father holds q very responsible position
with the Pennsylvania railroad, being in
spector of bridges on that line. For
three years young Amweg has been on
the stage, having first been connected
with Frank Mayo, playing minor part
in "Davy Crockett" Since then he has
been singing in the chorus of Ford's
Opera company, and has been corrected
with the various "Pinafore," "Fatinit-
"a" Boccaccio," "Billee Taylor and
"Olivette" productions. His family have
made numerous efforts to wean him from
the stage.
