AN UNWILLING BRIDEGROOM.
how a Mercenary Lover was Brought
to Time

Hoboken has a sensation, and with
it is revived some of the facts concern,
ing an %atrocious murder. The wife OF
Theodore Scherer, the keeper of q
hotel on Christopher street, near West,
in this city, was an important witness
at the trial Of Martin Kinkowski, the
murderer of Nina Muller. Her hus.
band, in whose house the trunks were
found, was too i'll to attend. Scherer
died shortly after the conviction. His
widow was the widow of MI. Bein, to
whom she was united about three years
ago. After her second husbands de-
mise she fell desperately in love with
Charles Parker, r handsome young
fellow, and a favorite In Hoboken
society. The widow Is not yet 80, and
still possesses some beauty. Parker
apparently ~reciprocated the atfsc.
ton, and became a regular visitor
at her hotel. He finally per-
suaded her to move to Hoboken that
she might be nearer to him, and
she willingly disposed of her property,
and, with a snug sum of money
about $15, 000--engsged rooms in a
fashionable boarding house on Park
avenue. She herself tells the rest of
tho story. She says about March /
she and Parker agreed to be married;
but he, according to her statement,
was not disposed to we'd her until he
was in business and would in no wise
be dependent upon her bounty. This
pleased the widow, and she was will
ing to wait. Shortly after this Parker
informed her of Il brilliant opportu-
nifty to make a fortune. 1t was the
purchase of q g~lass-letting establish
mont at No. AZ Chambers street, this
city. She was ready to aid hin in
making the purchase, and advanced
him 81, 900, but being a shrewd wo-
man she loaned the amount with the
understanding that he was to have the
business assigned to her. Several
smaller loans were obtained, raising
her lovers indebtedness to LOO.
She tarried long and many dates
were assigned for the marriage, but
when they arrived he would give some
plausible reason why the ceremony
ought to be still further delayed. She
finally grew impatient, as his Visits
became less frequent. She made in
quiry, and ascertaining that he had
not had the business he purchased as
signed to her she made this the basis
of an action to bring him to terms.
On Saturday last she applied to Jus
tice Rusch, of Hoboken, for a warrant,
alleging that Parker had obtained
money from her under false pretenses.
In court the widow was willing 10
withdraw the complaint if the alleged
lover would have the justice unite
them in marriage. This was the
shortest way out of the trouble, and
he accepted her proposition. The
bride came up smiling, hut the BRIDE
groom looked glum and requested the
justice to ''cut it short" The bride,
when she gave her age to the justice,
drew from the other high contracting
party the ungallant remark: "Well,
old enough to be married, that's

that she would not wed him and in.

THE NONE ORDER SYSTEM.
Plans for Its Perfection.
Washington Correspondence New. York Evening
Post

Washington. Correspondence New. York Evening
Post.
The superintendent of the money
order division of the postotfice depart.
ment sent out on Saturday an order
that hereafter, when a money order
has remained sixty days in a p~ostofice
without payment being demanded, the
postmaster shall send a private notice
to the payee, if his address is known,
informing him of the fact and giving
the name and address of the remitter.
The payee is requested by the circular
to present the ca responding order for
payment, if it is in his possession; or,
if it has not been received, to obtain
it, if practicable, from the remitter,
and, in the event of it's loss in transit
or otherwise, to suggest to the remit
ter that he make application for a
duplicate.
This circular is a new departure in
the policy of the money order division,
and is one that ought to have been
made years ago. Had it been adopted
on the start, there would not now be
in the treasury to the credit of the
money order system the great sum of
over a million and a quarter of dollars,
the accretion of money orders re-.
naming unpaid. Not a dollar of this
fund belongs to the government. 1t
belongs to the people who paid for
orders, which, largely through the de-
fects OF the postal system, did not
reach the persons to whom they were
sent. 1t may safely be said that nine
tenths of this sum could have been
made to reach the payees, or could
have been returned to the remitters,
had not a policy of concealment been
adopted. Instead of seeking earnestly
either TO pay the money to the payees
or return 1t to the remitters, a rule
was adopted forbiddipg a postmaster,
under penalty of dismissal 10 furnieh
the very information now ordered to
be given by the new circular.
If the department is content with
the present step, it will fail to do all
that it should do to stop such a wrong.
full detention of the peoples money.
1t is evident that the payee of an IN
paid order may be out OF reach after
sixty days, and 30 may never receive
his notice. In such a case, after the
lapse of another thirty days, the re-
mitter should be notified that the
money he has deposited remains un-
paid. As of course the payee has the
claim to payment, it would be
necessarily to provide that some set
ime -perhaps six months additional
elapse before a repayment
made to the RENTER.
Nor should the effort to be honest
stop here, Every means should be
taken by publication OF lists and
otherwise faithfully to disburse the
now on hand before passing a

every other respect the money order

'ion and effectiveness, and even in the
of this lapsed order fund j. is
probably loss Mt fault than any othor
in the world, and the step it
now taken is ono in advance of
most other systems, But nothing can
said in favor of covering such a

means has been exhausted to find the

SATURDAY sSTORnts.--A terrible tornado
swept through Brunswick and Pemder
counties, n. c., Saturday afternoon, level
ing timber, blowing down a church, saw
mills, and large number of other build
ings, and killing one child and injuring
several adults. A fearful cyclone struck
the lower end Of Bibb county, Ga, Satur-
day night, passing into Twiggs, Jones and
Wilkinson counties, destroying much
property and killing Samuel Cove, father
of Ex-Congressman Samuel F. Cove, near
GFiswOld, and Miss Lockhart, near Cor
don. The same evening a cyclone passed
through the lower end of Dallas county,
Ala killing three colored men at Kings
county landing, and two others at Grayes
Ferry, and seriously injuring number of
other. The latest reports from Monticello,
Miss, place the number of deaths from
the storm of Saturday at Is, and the
wounded at 30, many of whom will proba-
bly, die.
