THE cHAMBERMAfr's ROMANCE.
Prof Brackmanu winds Up His Three
Days COarIship with Marriage.
s.. Louis eIose.pes,oe.et. rrlanr

1t was Just ii 80 O'Clock last night Slen
Justice Mccain pronounced Prof. +. Brack-
mann, of Friederson, Neb, and Miss Mary
III. Troll, late chambermsid at the Planters
House, husband and wife, and the three
days romance and sensation of that hotel
was ended. The ceremony was performed
in the ladies' parlor of the house before an
audience that crowded every inch of accessi-
BILE room, every one waiting patiently for
several hours to witness the grand fadlc.
The time set for the wedding was at O'Clock,
but at that hour II was found that the pro-
lessor had made no preparation for a
minister, and had 10 be reminded by Mr..
Gerard that the presence Of tkat func-
tionary was most important. The pro-
fessor then took a carriage, and urging
on the driver the utmost speed, start
ed for the residence of the Rev.
Mr.. Waliher, whom he said he in
tended to have oftciate. An hour passed
before the reapPearance of the groom, but
he came alone and Scented utterly at a loss
as to what to do. The bride had been long
dressed end was growing nervous. Esr. Ge-
rardi came to the rescue, and sent a messcn-
ger for Justice Young. Another hour passed
without return, ard a second messenger was
dispatched for some one with authority TO
make the two legally Ole. At IL o'clock
Justice Mccain came in sight, and never
was he more welcome. For nearly an hour
the professor and Mary had been seated in
the center of the parlor, objects of admira-
ton and curiosity to the assembled crowd
and the young woman began 10 droop. The
professor had his two children, both girls, of
eight and twelve years old, near him, the
oldest in tears. Occasionally he would rush
oHt of the apartment and pace the corridor,
until the Justice made inquiry for the license
The professor held up his hands with an ex-
clamation Of sorrow. 1t was somewhere up
stairs, but he would fud il, and away he
hurried. Ten, fifteen, twenty minutes
passed before he danced back into the
room waving the paper. Ii was quickly
signed, and the knot as promptly tied,
the justice adding to the short and simple
service the assurance that "You will not
undo ii as easy as it has been DONE" Hand
shaking and congratulations followed, Mrs.
Brackmann receiving the good wishes I'M
moved, making very attractive picture as
she stood in the rich white robes, with
wreath Of orange blossoms and long veil.
After the ceremony the professor said he
should remain in the city for probably a
month, as he had important business TO at
tend TO. 1t is said that he has spent several
thousands Of dollars in purchases compli-
nentary to his wife, among the principal
articles being a large lot of furniture, china
piano, horse and carriage, and a number OF
expensive pictures. Before retiring he took
occasion to EXPIRE in pleasing manner his

A Lions ID eath.

An unlocked for tragedy was enacted in
Philadelphia Monday, in the midst of the
work of transferring the animals OF Fore
paugh's show preparatory to Southern
tour. In the same den were kept two lions
and two tigers, separated by strong wooden
partition. To such pitch of ferocity was
one of the tigers stirred by the arrangements
for removal that he threw himself in very
frenzy of rage against the partition, pounced
upon one of the lions, and before the keepers
could lift an arm fixed his fings deep in the
throat OF his victim. A torrent of blood
gushed forth, and the king OF beasts desper-
ately attempted to throw off his assailsnt,
but it was no use; the tigers grip was death,
and almost on the instant the PROSTATE lion,
with a spasmodic effort of head and limbs,
fell back cold and stiff. By this time a
dozen hands were raining blows upon the
head of the ferocious brute, who stood over
the slain lion with glariDg eyes and blood
dyed jaws, and stunned by the sudden attack
he was secured with ropes and dragged into

formed most welcome shelter. During the

with modestIy cast down eyes, made a v-ry

is Of a Quiet kind, and her face has sad
expression, and appears very shy and re-
served in repose, but when she IL eniiced
into conversation she is bright and animated.
Only occasionally she smiies, for suffering
has followed her life 80 long that even the
warmth Of the friendly Wolf mansion has
not vet quite dispelled the gloom which
seems to have almost become second nature.
Sne talks little G-rmap, and, through Mrs
Wolf a. an Interpreter, told Record re-
porter that b tn her parents have been dead
six YEAR,, and that she was living with
her aged grandfather in the province
OF Orei, about 200 miles from Moscow,
when the Russians, taking her few gold
trinkets, drove her wanderer from her ma
tive place. Her grandfather, for want of
means TO take care of her, turned her over
to the L Universal Alliance, and she was thus
brought 10 this country. Esther was almost
destitute when she arrived in this
city, wiki ciroely enough cl thing to
cover her, and the dirt of the steerage
and the immigrant car was so thick upon
her when she was found by Mrs. Wolf at the
Pennsylvania railroad station, bitterly cry
ing, that her features could scarcely be seen
at all. An old man named Fisher, who had
been turned out of his shoe factory at Klev,
his factory burned and his brothers throat
cut, had taken care of her as far as he could
after she parted from her grandfather. She
said that she about in despair when Mrs.
Wolf spoke kind word to her, and offered
to take her home. 1t was difficult to imagine,
looking at her surrounded by elegance and
comfort in Mrs Wolf Is sitting-room, dressed
in a rich black gown, with white collar and
a handsome silk scarf about her neck, with
her abundant brown hair tastefully arranged,
and her fair skin without blemish and
showing a rich, warm complexion, that bat

GOV. cR1rrENpEN AS An OUTLAW.

GOV. CRITTENDEN As AN OUTLAW
The Staying of Jesse James by cowardly
assassin, hired to execute the despicable deed,
is poor commentary upon our boosted Oh
servance of law and order. 1t is fortunate
for the country that murderous villain and
highway robber has been killed, but the
methods by which he was slain are disgrace
to our civilization. Governor Crittenden, of
Missouri, is permitting himself to be adver-
tised before the world as a confessed per-
iurer. He has taken an oath to observe, re-
spect execute and enforce the law, and then
conspires with a robber and assassin to vio-
late the law. Governor Crittenden has made
no denial Of the charge that he employed
Ford to assassinate James. 1t is alleged that
he agreed to give the tool he employed to ex-
ward offered, and immunity. Indeed, Gov
ernor Crittenden admits that the death of
Jesse James was the result of bargain be-
tween the lawful authorities and Ford, who
killed him. Such laHlessness is worse
than lynching by the mob, for it adds
the crime of perjury TO that of the outlaw
ry OF the savsges. The conduct OF Gov
SEAllcnucu Is HlOei ICpEGHCuoAOlc, anu
will cause much regret to many good citi-
zens, who regard obedience to law as the
first duty of an official sworn to vindicate
the majesty of the written law. The gov
ernor of State is never justified in taking
into his own hands the functions of the law.
There is no excuse Tor the conduct OF Gov
ernor :, ittenden, who lives in highly civ
ilized, :. palous and law-respectiDg commu-
nifty, like he great State of Missouri. In
America, whatever dishonors law by the
unlawful methods of high official, is
crime against the republic. The highest
attribute of the chief executive of State is
rigid observance of the law he is sworn to 1
observe. Without strict and inhexible
adherence to the plain behests of the law,
We cannot have liberty, or social rights, or
any assurance of order and peace. 0ur
friends in Missouri, when they contem-
plate the lawlessness by which Jesse James
was slain, will feel sense Of shame and re-
greet that the fair fame of so proud and civ
ilized State should be furnished by an act |
so foul and despicable. When sworn officials |
deliberately conspire to murder by assassi- |
nation, law becomes a mockery, and lawless
ness is made respectable. The law defines,
limits and restraints with absolute, memorable |
sternness. 1t admits no plea of advantage,
no pretext of necessity, Of Righteousness or
of philanthropy in Justification OF its break
ing, repudiation and violation of its pro-
visions. No necessity OF the moment, no
philanthropy of interest or sanctity of object |
ean excuse violation of the law. 1t is the
10y genius OF our institutions TO exact a
''pulous respect for the law as it is writ, n.
