A BRIDE BLIGHTED
By Husband Who IL Utterly Unworthy
OF Her, and Who Through the
Law Plays
4 Shabby and Unworthy Trick Upon
Her-A Case That VIII Arouse
the Wrath Of the Sex.

A series of suits, Involving beautiful
young bride OF two months and her husband,
who was a widower with four children, IL
occupying the magistrates' courts. About
four months ago the wife OF William Hol-
MAP, who has been until recently conductor
on the Louisville and Nasdville railroad,
died leaving four email children. About
two months since Holman married young
woman whose parents reside at Paris, Tenn,
and brought her TO this city TO live, INSTALL
Jog Der with bis children in a hou-e in North
Memphis.
THE BRIDE
is not more thau sixteen years OF age, lovely
in form and feature and amiable in DISPOSE
ton. About a month ago Holman began
drinking hard on account Of HE discharge
from the Louisville sBd Nashville, by whom
be has been employed for a number Of years.
He began as brakeman and was promoted
from place to place until at last he reached
the position of conductor. He WAS blamed
for the late accident at Stanton Depot and
discharged on that account As room AZ the
accident occurred his creditors began
SUING OUT GARNIsHMENTs
on the railroad company for bills, and he
took 10 drinking hard. His wife alleges
that he abus ID her until life became a bur.
den. Her father was informed and came TO
the city day before yesterday. He started
out in search of Holman al once with pis-
tol, and the probability is he would have
used it except for Constabl E. B. Britt, vino
took the weapon from him. The yourg
woman's father went to Holmi ana house
however, aud took her away with him &c
Mrs. Millard's bosrdinghouso on Main street
near the Louisville and Nashville depot. A
trunk containing all her wearing apparel
was also carried along. Yesterday evening
Holman went before Justice Winters ard
SUED OUT REPLEvIN
for The trunk. The writ was placed 10 the
hands OF Deputy Sheriff Frank Brennan
whom Holman accompanied to the house
Mrs. Holman was found in her room alone
and her husband ordered her to take off hel
dress aud give it TO him. She went into the
next room, took it of without word, and
gave it to him. "This ia my dead sisters
dress," said Holman, "and you shan't hav,
it," Mrs. Holman put on an old wsrn ant
faded gown, which her husband took from
the trunk, and awaited further orders. "Just
take off that ring and the balance OF The stuff

GENERAL GREsHAms REFORM.
The Truth of the Story Told in the Phila-
delphia Press.

delphia Press.
Special to Courier Journal
In a Washington letter to a Philadelphia
paper of yesterday it was stated that Post
master-general Gresham is not much of a re-
former; that he ordered the Third Assistant
Postmaster-general to make four vacancies
in his office" which was done and that
Gresham, no doubt, had some friends that
had to be provided for before the civil-service
reform business began.
The facts are as follows: Congress, at its
last session, provided for a reduction of
thirteen clerks in one of the divisions of the
Postotfice Department.. Nearly all the
clerks in the division were women whose
clerical abilities were far above the average
Before Judge Howe's death he had told them
that at the beginning OF the fiscal year,
July l. when the reduction was to take eff
feet, he would provide for as many of them
as he could in other divisions of the depart
ment. They were all needy and deserving
persons as well as excellent clerks and he
thought he could make room for them.
When General Gresham came into the office
the situation was explained to him. Upon
investigation he found that the services of
certain clerks could be spared, and their
places filled to the advantage of the govern
ment with the women clerks who were
ABOUT TO be misplaced by The action OF Con-
gress. None of these clerks were personally
known to him, He did not hesitate to make
the changes.
In the publication above referred to, the
case of one clerk VINO was removed is de-
scribed as a very hard one. The clerk was
reported to be man in comfortable circum-
stances While he possessed good clerical
qualifications, his superiors found that his
time ami thoughts were so much occupied
with fine country residence which he is
building as to seriously impair his efficiency.
His retirement from the public service en-
abled the Postmaster-general to secure an
other clerk equally competent whose at
tention to public duties will not be inter
rupted by the building or care OF country
house.
General Gresham said to-day that he did
create one vacancy in order to make a new
appointment The lady he appointed is a
grandniece of George Washington, and is not
personal acquaintance of his. She was in
need of an opportunity to work in order to
support herself, and her appointment was
personally urged by very prominent mill
tary officer, who is fully acquainted with her
circumstances

Forest Fires at Mount Desert.

BAR HAEBoR, Me, Aug. 2l.-In addition
to the forest fires, which have been raging
for several days, fires have broken out in
several new places, Smoke, like heavy
pail, envelops the island and renders respi-
ration difficult \ heavy fire has just broken
out IN the forest on the northwest side OF
Green mountain. \ gang of men are fight
ing the flames to keep them off the railroad
and Summit House. A large amount of
wood work was necessary in the construc-
ton OF the railroad, and if the wind strikes
from the right direction it will go like tim
der. The whole mountain is hidden in
black cloud of smoke. So many and such
destructive fires have been unknown for
years here, and large amount OF valuable
timber is doomed to distinction.

Another Mysterious Disappearance.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 21.-Another of those
mysterious dlsappearances for which St.
Louis has become somewhat famous occur
red here on Sunday evening and has caused
great grief in several well-known families.
On Sunday evening, Colonel James O.
Churchill, vice president and manager of the
Western Anthracite Coal Company and his
wife went out for short drive, leaving at
home their daughter Mary, about seventeen
years old. On their return, about o'clock,
the daughter could not be found, and no
clew to her whereabouts has yet been dis
covered. She was last seen standing
alone, about O'clock, at the front
gate OF the family residence, No.
2737 Morgan street, in home attire,
and presenting no unusual appearance. De-
tectives have been working on the case since
last night, and every effort has been made by
them and by the girls father and friends,
but nothing yet has been heard OF her. She
was quiet, grave girl, studious, devoted to
music and cared little for gentlemen's So
cety. The only theory so far advanced is
abduction. The young lady is described as
follows: About five feet three inches high,
straight and well developed, light brown
hair and grayish blue eyes oval face, regu-
lar features, and sometimes wears her hair
banged.

Civil-service Promotions,

WASHINGTON, Aug 21.-Mr. Eaton, presi-
dent of the civil-service commission, had a
conference with the acting Secretary of the
Treasury, to-day with regard to the right of
the latter to make certain promotions in the
Treasury Department under the civil-service
law. NJ. Eaton said it had been held by the
commission that inasmuch as they have not
compiled suitable regulations covering this
subject and as such regulations could rot be
enforced until they should receive the ap-
proval of the president, the Department was
at liberty to make all the necessary promo
tions at once under the regulations hereto
fore in force. There are only a few vacan-
cies in the Treasury Department to be filled
by promotion, and action on this will be
taken in day or two
