A Romance MARRIED.

A SECRET MARRIAGE AND An ANGRY FAMILY.
Bufyalo telegram TO the New York
Times saws: The people OF Batavia, in
Genesec county, Just east OF here, are IN
tho midst NJ a biz Of social excitement. II
concerns the family OF Mr.. Richard ..
Holden. the wealthiest merchant i'm the
town. whose youngest son. Frank >, it Il
now made known, has for fourteen months
been the husband OF Miss Carrie
McCue, a clerk in the old gentleman's
store. The young lady had been
i'm the store for several years. and
is progressing in appearance aud win
ming III manner. Frank Holden's older
brother. Hinman, paid her quiet attention
for some time. but Frank was successful
i'm winning her love, and early in the year
1881 proposed marriage. They first de-
termined TO take their summer vacation at
the same time, 20 to Michigan, where rcla-
tiyeS OF the young lady resided. and there
be married. This arrangement failed, rs
old Mr.. Holden at vacati0n-timc took
Frank to New York. In pursuance
of another plan. on the day lie ore
Thanksgiying-day, November %, 1881.
Miss McCue came TO this city. The next
dav Young Holden came to Buffalo in COM
panv with several Batavia friends, with
whom he spent the time until evening.
Then he excused himself for an hour or
80, and proceeded to the hotel where his
prospective bride was stopping. From
I there they went to the rectOry OF st. Mark
church, in Elk street, and the Rev. c. y.
Uard married them. They returned scpa-
ratclv to Batavia that night, and the bride
appeared the next morning in her place
behind the counter in the store.
They agreed to keep the marriage secret
for awhile. but Frank promised 10 inform
hi, father within reasonable time. The
Young couple were not much together.
When the autumn OF 1882 came and their
marriage still renamed a secret from all
friends, Mrs. Holden began to get anX-
ious that il should be made public.
The young husband put her of, stating
finally that he would break the news TO
his father and family on the 1St OF JAN
uarv. The recent New-Iear'S day came
and went, and young lIOlden's promise
was broken. The lady finally employed a
prominent lawyer of Batavia. The llOldens
learned the news with the greatest astOni>h-
ment and modification, and said that the
affair must not be exposed; that they must
see Carrie and ascertain if something could
not be done. The lawyer had other inter-
views with Mr. Holden, but nothing
seemed to have been accomplished.
Young Mrs. Holden could not bear
the suspense any longer, so the other
day she sent an advertisement Of the
marriage to the daily paper. This was the
first public intimation. and was read with
surprise by people Of all classes. The
Holden family consider that Franks mar
riage has disgraced them all The young
lady. however, bears an irreproachable
character. Public sympathy in Batavia is
with her. Frank Holden has left Batavia,
and rumor says that he is in New York,
where he has wealthy uncle. John :.
Holden, and other relatives. The deserted
wife is in Batavia.

Living I'm Terror.

THE wIIhEsBARRE NINE EXPLORERS FORCED
TO ABANDON THEIR DESlGN-THE GAS DAN
GER.
There was Il rumor allOat early Monday
morning, says WilkeSbarre telegram, that
another caye-in had occurred at the GIVE
Points," but a subsequent examination
proved that such was not the case. The
report arose from the fact that the men
and mules employed in the working part
OF the mine were compelled TO come out,
owing to the rapid accumulation Of gas,
which is being forced in from the sunken
portion. All efforts to reach that por-
ton OF the collicry which has settled
have proved fruitless, and the party of
miners who went in for the purpose'of
making an examination as 70 the future
possibilities have been compelled To aban-
don their design. Ii il now thought that
the earth below has settled probably a. far
as il will, and the only danger that now
threatens the town i that which may arise
from the sinking OF the furnace when the
frost leaves it. Many persons were busily
engaged to-day in repairing and proppng
their houses which were so shaken up by
the caye-in.
The schools IN the cave-in district are
stu closed. aud in all probability will re-
main SO until April. 1t is now thought
that large quantities OF gas that have gath
cred i'm different parts Of the old mine will
be forced TO the surface by the rushing
waters OF the swollen mountain torrents
that are pouring into the mine. Those
occupying houses are in continual dread
of The gas being ignited from the sur
face, thereby causing terrible eXplo-
sion in the lower depths OF the mine,
which will find vent throughout the loose
surface. Mining engineers say that III case
of an explosion the gaS will find cgress
through the old openings at the foot of the
mountain. The inhabitants are leaving n
fast as they can find dwellings in other
patts az thp civ

The ShamOI<in COiIicry Fire-AnOthe,
EXPLOSION.

4 Shamokin, Pa, special OF Monday
saws The officials in charge OF the Bear
Valley shaft are more hopeful OF c0nqLerng
the fire than at any time before, and now
believe drowning the mine will not be ne
cesSary. The continuous stream OF water
which has been forced into the breast for
the past thirty-siX hours was shut off this
evening. Soon afterwards masses OF burn
inc coal and dirt rushed down. The driy-
ing OF the manholes still continues. and
will be completed tomorrow, when more
favorable opportunity will be offered TO
fight the fire. A large body OF gas which
accumulated during the night in IN ADAM
doncd portion OF the mine ignited and
forced its way down into the gangway,
knocking District-Superintendent William
Booth. who was standing in one OF the
mine ears, into ditch, but he was not ill.,
iured.
II is expected ii the fire does not spread
and can he confined TO its present location
the East Side will resume operations in u
day or two. Mne-lnspector John Neith
was in the mine all night and until noon,
when he was relieved by Thomas Doyle.
Both of these are untiring in their efforts
to extinquish the fire, and the deepest in
tereSt is manifested in the progress OF the
work.
