Clandestine Marriage of :: Society Belle
and 3 Young Broker.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
NEWPORT, R. l., Feb. 24.-The clandes-
tine marriage in New York yesterday of
Miss Kittie Kernochan and Herbert G.
Pell, the broker, has created great sensa :
ton here where all the parties are well
known. The young lady disappeared fro m
her home soon after lunch, and later sent
message to her parents stating that she
had been married in the morning in ST..

Her present whereabouts is not known.

derstood that Mr.. Kernochan forbade him
the house, and ordered the young lady to
have nothing to do with him. It was sup
posed that she complied strictly with the
order. Mr.. and Mrs. Kernochan were
leaders in Newport society during the
summer, their villa, Fairview, one of the
finest in the city, being located on Marine
avenue. Miss Kernuchan was great ia,

advanced Sd on lard and 6d@1s on bacon.
Eastern markets showed little change. Inc
receipts of product were fair, and the ship
ments of all kinds quite large. The inquiry
for mess pork was only moderately active
and the offerings quite liberal. Prices
were advanced So 10c early in the day, but
receded 1562 zoe, and closed rather quiet.
Cash quiet and steady. February sold
Sparingly.
The demand for lard was quite brisk
and the offerings free. Prices were ad-
vanced 215 @5c per 100 pounds early in the
day but settled back again 100 1219c and
closed steady. Cash quiet.
Live hogs sold 5@10c lower to-day, al
though the receipts were but l4,O00.
No very marked change in prices have
occurred in provisions and only moderate
business in the aggregate was transacted.
The shipping demand was uniformly re-
ported as quite good. especially by manu-
facturers, though mainly for meats. The
South has been liberal buyer, ana dis
tributing merchants have purchased rather
freely for immediate and future delivery,
which would indicate that they at least
anticipate continued liberal consumption
and not much, if any, lower prices for the
product The purchases on foreign ac
count have been also liberal and continent
making longs and shorts rather freely, and
the exports promise to show up literally
as there are fears that Germany may go
still further with its unjust legislation and
prescribe American lard as it has
done pork and bacon. Shipments
of lard from this point, however, ere re-
ported light, our market being relatively
above New York, freights, ETC., considered.
Shipments of pork were only fair in the
leading articles. Speculation has been
just moderately active, if we except short
ribs, in which transactions have been es-
pecially large. Prices have ruled some
what irregular. but the changes were con-
fined within comparatively narrow limits,
and where the market was strong one day
it was generally weak the next one, so that
as compared with week ago mess pork
and lard show hardly any change, while
meats are 16G 4c per pound higher. 1t
is generally surmised that the stocks at
this point are in comparatively few hands,
and the trade seems to be wanting to learn
what leading operators are going to do
with the property. As noted heretofore,
the trade is generally bullish, but the ma
jority are exercising considerable caution,
and do not seem disposed at present to
back their opinions by either buying or
selling freely. Receipts of hogs are lit
tie larger than last year, and since the first
Of November shows small increase, while !

NEW YORK.
Ispecial Telegram to the Globe.


New YORK, Feb 24.-The activity so no
ticeable yesterday failed to reappear this
morning, and in consequence we have been
treated to dull and uninteresting market
for the greater part of the day. Prices
were rather steady until the bank state
ment made its appearance, when there
was general giving way, which continued
until the end. The reserve shows a de-
crease of $2,465,S25. A small amount of
gold was received from Europe to-day, but
it failed to benefit the situation. The
bears sold stocks freely and had it all their
own way, Omaha preferred was scarce
for delivery, and loaned for $8 for use.
st. Paul sold for 9824c. It's earnings con-
tinue to show falling off. The third
week of February gives decrease of $1S,-
900. The Illinois Central for the same pc
riod loses 1000. Weakness character
terizsd the dealings at this end and
about the lowest prices for the
day ruled as the exchange closed. The
law of averages indicate that prices should
have some further advance. The days OF
decline since the 1st of January have
largely exceeded the days of advance. This
may be a rather poor foundation upon
which to build expectations for higher
prices, but it is quite as trustworthy as
many of the points upon which stocks are
bought and sold. 4 prominent member
of the Vanderbilt party said this forenoon
that he considered prices at hard pan, and
thought it was time to operate on the long
side rather than on the short for several
weeks TO come

NEWPORT, R. L, Feb. PA fire occurred
in the house of Sheriff Easton. The only
persons in the house at the time were the
hired girl, Anna Lennon, eighteen years of
age, and Jennie Easton, five years old. the
baby of the household. The rest of the
family were at a festive gathering at Odd
Fellows hall. Anna Lennon slept in an
attic room over the furnace, where the fire
originated, and little Jennie was asleep in a
northwest bed room in another part of the
house. Annie was awakened by the
smoke, which then filed the house, and.
getting up and waiting to put on only a
skirt, made her way down stairs. The
back door being locked, she got out of a
window in the south end of the house and
on to cellar porch, and thence to the
ground. Then she went in her bare feet
over the ice and snow to give the alarm to
the neighborS. She first appealed to some
who had already gathered near the house,
to rescue the sleeping child. Getting no
response she made her way into the house
n the same way that she had come out,
and went up to the childs room. She was
forced to feel her way along to the bed
and the child, so dense was the smoke.
Thus she secured the child and brought it
down stairs and out into the yard in
safety, although little more delay would
have endangered the life of the child. Her
own clothes and those of the child were
considerably burned, but both escaped
bodily injuries There is a mo> ement on
foot to substantially recognize the bravery
of this girl.

The fact that the enemies of the whisky

evening, to prevent action on the bill, has
driven another nail in the coffin of the

the committee. He came back
twice to shake hands with Sunset
Cox. Cox seemed overwhelmed by
Red Clouds manners, but it
was noticed that he kept his hands over
the little tuft of hair upon his glossy scalp.
Red Cloud is an impressive and interest
ing Indian. 1t is said he is perfect ty-
rant among his people. He allows no one
to cross his will. He has tried to run the
interior department and the Indian office,
asking them to remove certain bad
agents. 1t is certain that he is a good
strategic warrior, and he has learned
enough to know that money is the great
motor of civilization. These big Indians
are getting scarce. Red Cloud, however,
will be remembered, as he is gilded by the
glory of sunset.
Mr.. Cox was so struck with the original
document that he secured it, had official
copies made, and sent the autograph to his
wife to examine. The text of the plea with
its mild hint of possible disturbance
of peace at the close while it smacks of
the Cooper style of putting words into the
mouth of the noble red man is genuine in
this case, as could easily be judged from
its similarity to the chiefs spoken senti-
ments and terse sentences. It is only oc-
casionally that the routine of the capital,
without single touch of poetry in it, like
the lines of the sPirates of Penzance," is
broken by so romantic passage as the
big chiefs coming alone to the law chief
to ask for justice in his own language and
with savage simplicity of manner and
method.
