MARRIED WHILE INTOXICATED
A CURIOUS ROMANCE FROM THE
BEACH AT AsBURY PARK.

CURIOUS ROMANCE FROM THE
BEACH AT AsBURY PARK.
LONG BRANCH, March I8.-Some
excitement has been created in AS
bury Park, village few miles
from here Dy story to the effect
that the late Theodore f. Appleby,
large property owner and the pro-
prietor of the Hotel Bristol, had
been married shortly before his
death, while in an intoxicated con.
dltion, to Mrs. Spencer, who kept
hotel at Old Bridge. Mr. Apple
by's death was said TO be from soft
ening of the brain brought on by
mental trouble and alcoholism. DR..
johnson, who attended him dur
ing his last illness, says that few
days before his death he confessed
to MIN that week before he had
gone to Mrs. Spencer's hotel OH a
spree, and had remained there for
some time. During that time he re-
membered being married 10 Mrs.
Spencer by John E. Tilton, Justice
OF the Peace from Monmouth Coun-
ty. He said that he was so drunk
that he had to be held up during the
ceremony, and that he answered
mo" to all the questions Of the
Justice. Mr.. ApplebY is also said to
have raYed about Mrs. Spencer and
his marriage in delirium for several
davs before his death. Mr.. Appleby
was a Widower and left three chils
d-en and his relatives believe that
the marriage was conspiracy to OBJ
tain possession of part OF the propers
ty. His brother who is President of
a we'll known New York insurance
company, says that he will make a
thorough investigation of the matter
and prevent his brothers. children
from being wrongfullV deprived of
any of their fathers property. JUS
ice Tilton denies that he had MARI
rled the couple but said that he
knew that Mr.. Appleby and Mrs.
Spencer were married shortly before
the death of the former. AS there
is neither a resident Justice nor
minister at Old Bridge, it would
seem that he is the only man who
could have performed the ceremony.
Mrs. Spencer says that Mr.. Appleby,
whom she had known for % years,
came to her hotel three weeks ago
and remained several days and was
under the influence of liquor most OF
the time. She refuses however to
say anything about the marriage un~
til she consults her lawyer.

From the N. Y. r erald.
The Railroads and the Federau
Government.

Fifty-Hve years ego. q charter was
given TO the Baltlmote and Ohio Rail-
road Company to build ITS line. The
construction Of the Erie Canal was d.
vertiDg to New York q Western trade
which Baltimore had hitherto obtained
and the merchants OF the latter city were
compelled, In self-defehce, to throw q
tram way over the mountains, following
the courses OF the streams as the easiest
pathway. In 1880 the first section OF
fifteen mil to Ellicoit's Mills YVES
opened. The ct am locomotive then
was little known in this country, or Its
uses were imperfectly understood, and
the new line was operated at first by
horses. 1t was attempted to propel tho
cars by sails, but the experiment failed.
Proposals were Invited by the company
In 1881 for the constr uctlon OF q at. am
engine "whioh, when In operation .mu4t
not exceed three aud half tons IN
weight, and mu t, on level road, bs
capable Of drawing day by day fifteen
tons, inclusive OF the weight OF the
wagons, fifteen miles per hour" Durpg
the same year the horses gave place ,O
an assured success. In the half century
that has followed we have built more
than ninety-three thousand miles OF rail-
road, and now nearly twenty thousand
locomotives are required to transport
the millions OF passengers who fit up
and down and across the continent, and
the enormous aud constantly increa ing
volume Of ceight.
The railroad financial aud commercial
interes S are u edoub ediy the foremost
In the Republic. The capital stock OF
all the roads is set down, In round ng-
ures, at two thousand fve hundred mil
lion dollars. IL Is held by thousands Of
people a. home and abroad. The ~ nded
debt OF the lines IL nearly equal to their
capital Stock. Tho gross earnings for
1881 are reported es SIX hundred aud NJ
teen million dollart; che working expen-
ses, three hundred and sixty natliiOns; /;
the interest on bonds, Que hundred aud
seven millions, and the divideds on
gtooK, seventy seven millions, apd the
dividends ou stock, seventy-seven Tui.-
lions. All this enormous wealth bt l0Ues
TO the people. One road alone running
into this city has, it is reported, twenty
i've thousand shareholders. The num-
Der of shareholders all over the United
Stats is an unknown aud constantly
huctuatinR aggregate, aud, in the ab-
sence Of oiticial figures on the subject,
must be left to the imagination. What
ever, therefore, affects these roads IN
any way Interest, thousands and thout-
alds OF persons, many of whom have
their whole fortunes embarked in these
enterprises. If they should be destroyed
by greaG CONFUSION OF nature o. swept
out Of exis ence In any other way large
p ,rtlon of the community would be al
most as destitute as the sufferers from
the surging waters of the Mississippi
River. Great banking Institutions would
be compelled to fail. Hundreds of charI-
table aud educational establishing nts
would be- crippled, If not altogether
ruined. We mention these facts TO bug
g,st what vert and numerous interests,
public and private, are involved In tho
rAiltoad investments of the county.
