JOHN w. GARRETT, president of the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad, who has
been absent in Europe about year, ar
rived in Baltimore yesterday. He was
met at Camden Station by a large number
of prominent business men, the board of
trade, the president and professors of Johns

It will be remembered that Senator ROL-
LINs went from senator to senator and
begged that CHANDLER should not be
"struck down." as he expressed it. The
New Hampshire Legislature met yesterday
under the amended constitution, aud it
proceeds at once to the election of a sena-
tor to succeed Mr.. Rollins. 1t IS expected
that big fight will be made. Chandler
wants to be senator beyond anything in
the worl and Rollins of course wants to be
returned, and expects to meet desperate
foeman in the rejected Bill Chandler.
One of the pretticst of the lady riders at
the Paris Hippodrome has met with a
tragic end, FANNY GYLKA not only real
countess, but the wife of very wealthy
gentleman at Bucharest. The lady was
only twenty -four and was at the very zenith
of beauty. She left her husband and wan
dered from circus to circus, refusing every
offer to return home. She was riding her
favorite charger and the horse backed or
SHED at a handkerchief and unseated his
rider, whose foot got fast in the stirrup.
She was dragged for some distance and
when taken up had to be conveyed to the
hospital with compound fracture of the
ankle. She was told that she must lose
her leg, but she refused to undergo the
operation, preferring death, which super
vened through modification of the injured
limb within few days.
The recent marriage of THEODORE
STANTON, son of Henry B. Stanton, to
Mile. Berry at the American Legation in
Paris is the sequel of romantic court
ship. In 1878, when in Paris seeing the
exposition, he noticed one day that Ger
tain French young lady had just taken a
degree at the Sorbonne. He addressed to
the young lady letter asking for infor-
nation on the subject. Their correspond
ence continued for two years, Mr.. Stanton
returning to America after tho inter. |
change of tho first letter without having
made the acquaintance of his fair CORES
pondent. In 1880 he visited Paris again,
saw the young lady, fell in love-not with
her, but with Mile. De Berry, her friend
from intimacy and her constant compan-
ion. These two girls had long before /
agreed to be married on the same day, and !
it happened that Mr.. Stanton's correspond |
ent had long been engaged to the brother
of his intended. So double wedding was
the result, and Mr.. Stanton's old cores
pondent became his sister-in-law.
