spraRue.CaIyerI sensation,

The marriage Of Ex-Governor and
ex-senator Sprague, Of Rhode Island,
at Stanton, Va, last Thursday eve.
ming, to Miss Dora Inez Calvert, Of
Guyandotte, West Va, will prove tn
be as decided sensation, when all
the facts become known, as Senator
Tabor's recent second marriage at
Washington was. Mrs. Calvert was
the wife of Frank C. Calvert, a trav.
cling salesman for the wholesale gro.
Gerry of A. R. Clark & Co, Cincinnati,
OHIO, well known in Pomeroy aud all
the towns along the river. She was
granted , divorce by the Circuit
Court of Cabell County on Monday
Of last week, and on Thursday was
married to Governor Sprague. Her
maiden name vas Weed, and she is
a native Of Connecticut, her father
being shoemaker BY trade who set.
tied in Guyandotte shortly after the
war. Her parents are residing at
Hinton, in Summers county, at
present. Last summer she Was in
Pomeroy several days with her hus-
band, being in pursuit of her sister
who had elOped with Jew, but
learning that the couple had gone to
Pennsylvania and got married. thew
returned home. 1t is supposed that
Mrs. Calvert became acquainted with
Sprague at the White Sulphur
Springs last summer and the ar.
raugements for their marriage must
have been made previous to divorce.
The wedding was sOlemnized pri.
vately, and under some difficulties,
at the Virginia Hotel in Staunton,
The bride reached Staunton a few
hours befnre the ceremony. Upon
the arrival ofthe lady the ex-senator
applied for a license, but was refused,
the clerk telling them that the lady
must be resident Of Stanton for
the license to be legally granted
Tie result was. that Mrs. Calvert
presented herself to the clerk and
said: u am a resident Of this city,
and have no other residence in the
world. II is my usual place Of abode,
and if necessary you can have my
affidavit TO that effect" Rev. Mr..
Hullihen, of the Episcopal church,
having been then sent for, united the
two in the bonds OF holy matrimony

Is true, we are sorry to say, that
there has exhibited itself in this

years that is alarming, and the soon

all classes and nationalities We
know that Mr.. Tomlinson is a good
officer, and has the frmness and de-
cision Of character tomake men learn
and understand that they will have
to respect the law. He is not afraid
to impose penalties, according to the
gravity Of the otfense. But in many
cases, our ordinances do not give him
that power to fine and imprison tc

The new Council elected are active
progressive, energetic men, and we
believe they will readily give to the
Mayor tina! power, under Law, that il
necessary to crush out the rowdy
spirit that is raising It's head in thit

While we favor the severest penal
ties to men of that character, yet
we believe that the ordinances ought
to be SO changed as to reach the men
who engage in the liquor traffic and
deal out to this class Of men the Ii
quor that drives them to commit
these outrages and se! atdefance the

We understand that there is no or.
dinance now that gives the Mayor
power to arrest and fine a saloon
keeper for violation of the State law
and his bond. No ordinance that
will reach the aaloonist who defantt-
ly throws open his alley gate and

whomay come with theirdime. These
things have been carried on for years
in our town, and no arrests have
been made.

Relief TO West Virginia Farmers.
The new revenue bill will afford q
measure of relief to Yves! Virginia
farmers who are accustomed to grow
small quantities Of tobacco. Under
the old law they wers forbidden to
retail their crop or any part Of it to
consumers. The new law removes
this restriction. The bill contains
this clause:
provided that farmers and produ.
GERS of tobacco may sell at the place
Of production tobacco Of their own
growth and raising at retail directly
to consumers 10 an amount not ex.
eeeding one hundred dollars snnu.

Heretofore farmers we're not allow.
ed to sell hands, or twists, Of their
own tobacco crop in small quantities
to consumers, but under the new law
they may do this, provided they sell
it on their own farms directly to con,
sumers. II will be observed that
they cannottake the tobacco in small
quantities to the nearest town or
store and dispose Of it; they must cell
to consumers at the place Of produc,
tion, and their total retail sales must
not exceed 500 a year.

WAsBrNsroN, D. c., March II, 1888.
The Capital Of the United States
has survived the Virgins catastro.
phs, and /, beginning to thaw in the
pulsstions of Spring. The delight.
full weather Of ths past week has been
improved by the beau monde which
still fingers here, and the streets,
parks, avenues and shops have been
alive with fsshionsbly attirsd ladies
who oscillate not like Byron's man
"betwesn a smile and a tear" but
like a woman between a zeal skin
jacket and a parasol. The Four
teen street road and the Soldiers
Home Park are onoe more gay with
elegant livsried carriages, drags, bug.
gies, bicycles, and a sprinkling Of
ladies and gentlemen on horseback.
Equestrianism had until recently
been a lost art in and around Wash.
ington. The perfectly smooth, hard
streets upon which the wheels en-.
countsred not even a gravel, lent
such an attraction to motion on
wheels that The more robust exercise
of the saddle lad been eschewed.
But just as the easy, graceful motion
Of the glide waltz has given way to
the saltatory kicking Of the polka
and racquet, there is now a tendency
to forego the luxury Of cushions and
wheels for the noble exercise which
Shakespeare describes in its perfec
ton a, being "encorpsed and demi.
natured with a brave beast" At
any rate horseback riding seems to
be the style, and who is so foolish as
to brace himself against the tidal
wave or any other kind Of a wave,
unless perhaps it be a Saratoga wave,
which is rather nice. To the so.
journers at the North Pole who do
not know what a Saratoga wave"
lie, will explain that it is the srtif.
