| When the cases on hand were disposed of
she asked his Honor ii he was duly qualified
to perform the marriage rite Receiving an
affirmative reply, she beckoned to an exceed
ingly uncouth middle-aged man sitting at
the back of the room and said to the Justice;
II want you to marry me to this man." The
man went forward and stood before the desk
looking the picture of sheepishness. as

inquired the Justice, looking at the
couple with intense surprise. Il

Freeman informed the woman that it was
customary to hand in the names and adj

then stepped back few PAGES and conferred

acquainted with the art of writing. A con-

face, and, taking the pen, she scrawled the
names of Amelia A. Royse, of Cincinnati,
and Charley Traynor of Utica, n. Y. Then
the couple stood up aud were nX1de man

GALVESTON, Tex, Dec, 3.-The News's

Texas Pacific railway with forgery and
swindling. 1t is claimed Lohnstein's opera
tons covered upwards of $12500 1t is
alleged he was in COLLISION with Easton the
defaulting railway agent at Sherman.
1t is said the fictitious name of G. j. An
derson was used by Lohnstein's confidant at
Sherman in sending him samples of cotton,
bills of lading, etc. Johnston paid Ander
son for 25,0 900 bales of cotton through the
banking house of Oliver & Briggs, drawing
between $40 and $50 on each bale. This
cotton was consigned to Herman Bros, Fat
man & Bro, New York; Stoddard & Co. aud
Friedlander & Co., New Orleans and some
Eastern mills. All drafts were promptly
paid by the cOnsignees except $4,000 now
held by Oliver & Briggs against Lohnstein.
They claim to be safe, as Johnston has
SIS, 900 as a margin deposited with them, and
the bills of ladng are signed in date form
by an Eastern company's agent at the time
Lohnsteins attorneys state that Anderson
is not fictitious character, and that he will
be produced in time. Nine afidavits have
been made against the accused. Bail is fixed

Death of a Recluse.

CHICAGO, Dec. 3-The coroner this after
noon held an inquest in the case of the
death of Mrs. Mary Hyde, aged sixty years,
who lived as recluse for years and died alone.
The verdict was that death resulted from a
combination OF asthma, want of nourish-
ment, and drink. She claimed to be niece
of the Duke of Argyll and a cousin to the
Marquis of Lorne Separation of the clan
of Campbell, to which she belonged, was
caused by marrying below her station. Her
husband was murdered by Indians on an
overland trip to California thirty-five years
ago, and she returned to Chicago where she
amassed considerable property as music
teacher, but took to drink and dissipated it.

1 shall see this man Traynor again. He per
fectly understands he was hired to marry me
and then go about his business"
The astonished magistrate was then re-
quested to forward copies of papers contain
ing the marriage notice to the Baltimore
Sun, the Washington Critic and the Denver
Tribune. She seemed particularly anxious
that her marriage should be made public,
also the fact that she was remaining in the
room after her husband left it to catch a
train. Justice Freeman's theory is that in
sanity is the trouble she feared TO bring upon
herself and the man she loves.
