told of the circumstances attending the mar
riage a few days ego of B. G. Tunison, young
lawyer of Jersey City, son of Rev. NJ. Tunison,
of the Newark Methodist Episcopal Confer
ence. Miss Belle Barton, an attractive young
lady, whose parents reside at York, Pa, came
two or three weeks ago to visit friends resid-
ing on Sipp avenue, jersey City Heights, and
at festival Mr.. Tunlson met her. 1t was a
case of love at first sight and by the end of
the week Tunison had made her an otter of
marriage. She said her parents had picked
out a resident of York to whom they
proposed to wed her on the following day
which was last Wednesday. He was many
years her senior, and she did not like the
match herself, but then he was wealthy, and
that was something In her favor. She ex-
pected her aunt from New York that very
day to take her home and prepare her for
the wedding. But for that she would readily
have accepted the young lawyers proposition.
TuDison volunteered TO at once take her TO
New York, marry her, and to be ready by the
time ber aunt arrived to introduce her as
Mrs TuRison. Miss Barton consented, but
before they got away the aunt had arrived to
take the neice away on the train which was to
leave the Pennsylvania Railroad station at l
o'clock that afternoon. TuDison advised the
girl TO 60 10 the station with her aunt and
leave the rest with him. Then he went to
the Office of Counselor George Barron, his
friend. ard made known to him the position
of affairs. Barron started to the station with
the anxious lover. The aunt and her niece
were Just on the point of entering the train.
Barron told his friend that the aunt would
leave the car in few minutes, and that then
The girl would have the freedom she sought.
In less than three minutes District mes
senger boy was running through the car with
q sealed envelope. anxiously inquiring for
Mrs. Sayre. That's my name" exclaimed
the aunt. Message, ma'am!" said the boy.
Mrs. Sayre opened it and read on the slip of
paper inclosed that important information
awaited her at the office of Mr.. Bar
ron, on Montgomery street. She threw her
bundles into her nisce's lap, promising to re-
turn in e minute or two, bounded off the car
and disappt ared up Montgomery street to the
lawyers Office. Tunison entered the car and
Miss Barton went with him to the ferryboat.
Crossing to New York. they were married by
Rev. Mr.. Simpson of Twenty-ffth street, and
went from there to Manhattan Beach, whence
teleglams were sent to their friends Miss
Barton's brother, on visiting the couple

was an old friend. The aunt got back to the
train in time to see it gcing out. She tele-
graphed forward to the conductor to tell her

A Milwaukee Youth Severely Whipped by
"The Witch OF Wall Street"


MILWAUKEE,, Wis, July 14.-A tremendous ex
citement was caused by horsewhipping affair in
the street here about 10 O'Clock tonight. At that
hour q stout, well formed, well-dressed woman,
on whose arms shone magnificent diamond brace
lets, and who was accompanied by young and
beautiful girl, assaulted young man on WiScOn-
sin street, dealing him terrific blows with horse
whip. The young man ran, but the woman chased
him for about block laying on the blows at near
II every step, till the victim made his escape in
the darkness. The Young man proved to be Will
Jones, whose name has been unpleaSantly aSsOci-
ated with double scandal for several weeks, and
his assailaDt was Grace CORTLAND, of New York,
fJrmerly of this city, and now familiarly known
as ''The Witch OF Wall Street."
About four weeks ago Jones was placed under
arrest on q charge of betrayiDg the daughter of
a well-known eiizsn. lie married the girl, and
charged in private circles that the same Jones had
BETRAYED Mrs Maize. The sixteen year old d6ugh-
ter of Grace C0urtlard, and had promised 10 mar
" her. The father OF the girl whom Jones mar
suppress the scandal. This was agreed to, on the
ground that publication would do no one any good
and would simply make public the disgrace OF two
unfortunate girls. 1sst Sunday, however. ia spite
of this agreement, the whole story of the double
scandal appeared in the Milwaukee correspond
ence OF a Chicago peDer.
Tonight at O'Clock Grace COurtland and her
daughter Maize arrived in this city and registered

TO see what proposition he had 70 make. We

De Lesseps' Rights in Egypt-Gladstone's
Explanation.


LONDON, July 15.-The attitude of the Gov
eminent in the Ce Lesseps monopoly, though
undoubtedly just, is raising a storm of in
dignation among British shippers, and has
adsed much to the Cabinets political diff
culties. Mr.. Gladstone takes the ground that
the De Lesseps Company was given by the
Egytian Government a monopoly of the right
to construct and operate inter-oceanic canals
in Egypt IS condition precedent to the un-
dertaking of his colossal enterprise and its
extraordinary expense; that the honor of
England as Egypts ally is bound by the
Egyptian concession; that the power can
lawfully ignore the monopoly, and that all
England can do is to secure from De Lesseps
The most favorable terms for British shipping
he may be willing TO give in consideration for
Englands assistance in the construction of
other canals In Egypt. The Premier asserts
that the Government has secured all the con-
cessiors possible or necessary to the present
interests OF British shipping, having induced
NJ. De Lesseps to undertake the construction
of a second and parallel canal, to pledge the
management at Port Said, Ismalia ana Suez
to English hands, and to greatly reduce
tie tolls in consideration of the Govern
merits loaning the Company S8,000O00
at 1S11 per cent. for fifty years securing the
Government found themselves in such hot
water that they telegrephed to De Lesseps,
suggesting a modification of the agreement.
NJ. De Lesseps has not officially responded,
but it is thought to be certain that he will
not agree to any material changes in the COM
pact. II this supposition be correct, then
the Government will be compelled to choose
betws en- carrying out the terms of contract
fairly and squarely made on both
sides and dishonorably backing out because
public clamor demands it. There can hardly
be doubt that Mr.. Gladstone will choose
the former course. II he does, such is the
state of public opinion, he will give his op.
ponents the best means they ever had PIE
sented them Tor the formation of a combins-
tion strong enough to break down the Gov
err ment, and they will take full advantage
OF their oppori unity. Sir Stafford Northcote
will make motion to reject the agreement,
and will certainly carry 1t, for Conservatives,
ParnellITes and Liberals will unite and vote
yea on such q motion.
The Daily News understands that De Les
seps has refused to modify the terms OF the
agreement between himself and the British
Government FOR the construction Of another
canal across the Isthmus of Suez.
