BALTIMORE May 1.-The particulars of a
romantic courtship, followed by an equally
romantic marriage, were brought to light to-
day. The groom is Mr.. James c. Carroway,
of Polkton, n. c., who during the war served
as commander of tho "wild Cat Company"
of confederatos, and organized in Anson
county, afterward known through the re-
mark of Gov. Vance as the Hell Cats"
Since the close ef tho war Mr. Carroway has
devoted his attentions to agricultural pur-
suits and is possessed of a considerable COM
petency. About four months ago his atten-
ton was attracted to personal advertise
ment in the columns Of Baltimore paper to
the effect that a widow of this city,
of personal attractions and possessed of
considerable means,was anxious TO correspond
with middle-aged gentleman, with view to
matrimony, Mr.. Corraway, who had been q
widower for several years, respond to the
advertisement, giving full account of him
self, stating his financial condition, business
prospects, and personal appearance. He in
closed his photograph, and requested the lady
to return hers in exchange. By one course
of mail he received picture of the lady, who
gave her name as Mrs. Emma $. Gardiner,
residing on North Gilmor street, and stated,
among other things that her weight was be.
tween 100 and 40 pounds. Mr.. Carroway
replied Immediately TO the letter, and after
some further correspondence formal engage
ment of marriage was entered into. On last
Thursday Mr.. G., known among S
friends as Colonel" left Polkton
for Baltimore, and was mot at
the steamer here by number ofoNorth
Carolinans-natives of his own town-who
volunteered their services to assist him in the
happy affair. The party took rooms at the
Mansion house. A wedding suit was pur-
chased by the colonel, and the necessary
license was obtained. The services of tho
Rev. Mr.. Harper was obtained by Mr. Car
roway, and the bride elect invited large
number of guests to her residence to DO pres
ent at tho nuptials at . p IN. Unfortunately,
the preacher was compelled to oniciate ut %
funeral at that hour, and when he and the
groom elect arrived at Mrs. Gardners resi-
dence all the guests, with one or two excep-
tions, had taken their departure, believing
there would be no wedding leaving Mrs.
Gardner greatly embarrassed. An explanation
by tho pastor, however, soon set matters
straight, and the couple, who had never seen
each other until few moments before, were
soon made man and wife. Preparations for
their departure by the Norfolk boat were
quickly made, and, accompanied by num-
Der ST commercial friends, they drove to the
steamer. They will make their homo in Polk
ton. The lady is of fine personal appearance,
and the groom is 81 years Of age, and man
of handsome physical appearance.
Residents of East Baltimore are greatly ex-
ercised to-day over the discovery of three
corpses-one that of a woman in wagon-on
the outskirts Of the city. An investigation
disclosed the fact that three men John
Fisher, II. w. Warfold, and Henry Smothors,
the two last named colored) had resurrected
the bodies from the graveyard attached to
Bay View the city almshouse. After hear
ing this evening they were all committed for
the action Of the Baltimore county authori-
ties. In conversation with one of the body
snatchers he stated that he had been employed
by one of the leading medical colleges here
to rob the graveyards of the dead for the pur-
pose of furnishing material for dissection.
The authorities at two Of tho colleges, how
ever, deny this, and assert that they gave no
instructions for the disinterment of bodies.
1t is believed that the graveyard at Bay View
has been systematically robbed Of the dead
for many months, and hundreds of bodies
have probably been removed.
At the first annual commencement OF the
Woman's Medical college, Mrs. May p. Owen,
of New York, former student at q medical col
lege in that city, was graduated as a NJ. ID.

eighteen matriculates who received diploma.

Blotkamp and Margaret Bacon, Of Maryland

A special meeting of the Young Democratic
association, composed of representative mer-
camille and professional mon the Organiza-
tion of which has caused much alarm among
the bosses OF the various factions held a Sc
cret meeting tonight to make final arrange
ments for the coming primaries, by which a
new city convention will be elected. The
last meeting of the present city convention
takes place on May 10, and the demands to
be made upon that body by the Young Demo-
cratic association in connection with the
forthcoming primaries We're duly formulated.
1t is thought by many that the new'assoca-
tion will be able to dictate its own terms in
the campaign-at least in so far as to secure
good nominations and insure pure registry
list and honest elections.
