WINNING a BRIDE.
Rejected by the Parents Because
He Was POOr-WinS at Last.

James Dunlap, of New Haven, Conn,
applied for a position as farm hand at
Deacon Eldridge's farm, in Landslide,
twelve years ago, and was put at work.
Eldridge had a daughter fifteen years
old, who became fascinated with Dunlap,
and after an acquaintance of two years
he asked the deacOn's consent for the
daughters hand in marriage. The dea-
con objected because of Dunlap's penni-
less condition. The girl promised to
gain her fathers consent or put an end
to her unhappy existence. Dunlap left
the farm, declaring that he would some
day return a man of wealth and Intlu-
ence. He went to Wyoming Territory,
where he obtained situation as driver
on a stage line, and at the end of five
years he purchased half interest in
the business. By shrewd financiering
and successful speculatiOns he cleared
$4,000, which, with the profit from his
business, gives him the title of being
one of the wealthiest residents of
Wyoming. He is also one of the heaYi-
est stockholders i'll the new railroad en-
terprise. He returned here on Thurs
day after an absence of ten years, and
was on Saturday married to Miss Ed
ridge. The wedding was a grand affair.

a GREAT FIRE.
Times and Other Newspaper
Offices Burned.

NEW YORK, January 3l.-Ihe New
York Observer has been burned out and
this weeks issue will be delayed. The
Observer Office was at No. 81 Park Row.
in the old World building. There were
a large number of Offices, stores and adj
yertisiug agencies in that and the adj
joining houses. In one Of these offices
there were a number Of women emf
plOyed, and it is reliably asserted that
one woman fell or leaped from the roof
over Pettengil's advertising offices and
was killed. There are rumOTS of other
women being burned in the offices, but
these cannot yet be verified. The pecu-
mary loss will be very heavy, both on
buildings and stock in stores, including
wholesale supplies Ofrubber, machinery,
etc. At eleven o'clock the southern end
of the gore was mass of ruins, but it is
thought the Times office will be saved,
though the danger is not entirely over.
LATER.-The Times building il saved
but considerably damaged. The flames
are confined to the Beekman ana Park
Row corner block. Only one life lost,
that of the woman already referred to,
though it is feared that three or four
men have perished. Many narrow es-
capes are recorded. One boy leaped
from the fifth story, and would doubt
as have been killed but for the wires
breaking his fall. He was hurt, but
not dang eerousIy. One young wcman
jumped from the fourth story upon q
stretched canvass held by men, and
was saved. The editor of the Scottish
American Journal succeeded in reaching
long ladder by help from a compositor,
Edward Moore, who afterwards got
down safe. A darLey boy climbed le-
graph pole and cut wire which hung
down near a fourth story window by
which three men got down. The loss
will be about 100000.

day why new trial should be granted,
all of them except two are considered
