ROMANCE IN NEW MEXICO.
How a Soldier Won the Hand of the Niece
of Mrs. Senator Logan.
Albuquerque, N. M, Special.

Albuquerque, N. NJ, Special.
Information has just reached here through
one of the gentlemen attending court that
Santa Fe, socially speaking. is Just now
raked from center to circumference. Eva
Cunningham is the niece of Mrs. General J.
A. Logan, but it does not appear that she
has particle of the discretion; policy and
good judgment which are known to
characterize the words and acts of
her noble-spirited aunt The young
lady is inexperienced in the ways
of the world. having been shut up in con-
vent all her life, and never having been per-
mtted to freely cultivate the society of gem
tlemen. Gossip relates that hirtations were
conducted without reserve from her upstairs
window in Paymaster fuckers residence
with the soldiers, until the matter became
generally known and until her charm
were freely discussed among the privates
OF the Santa Fe post. Sergeant S. S. Errett
of the Twenty-second infantry, soon came to
be recognized as Mrs. Logan's nieces admirer.
She made trysts with him, and they met and
walked and wooed along the banks of
the romantic Rio Chiqueto and in the hills
among the cacti, sage brush and scrub
cedars Here they must have told their love,
while Mrs. Tucker was all the time under
the impression that her little son, Logan,
was out for walk with Miss Cunningham.
when in truth and in fact that young lady
he'd left him at play in Maj. Baiihache's
place and strolled off alone to meet her lover.
Finally it all leaked out, and fearing that
the storm was about to burst on their
heads Sergeant Errett and Miss Cunning
ham slipped quietly away about a week
ago and hunting uD minister were secretly
married. The secret was kept until Tuesday,
when the storm came. A council of war was
held and the young lady was called on to ex-
plain This she did by confessing her secret
marriage What followed is unknown pre-
cisely, but this much is fact; Senator Logan
said he didn't mean to have any such id
nonsense around him, so Sergeant Errett
was summoned, a minister was called
in, and again--this time in the pres
ence of the household-Mss Cunningham
and her soldere-boy lover were declared hus-
band and wife, and so it all ends There is
nothing very bad about it, as it has turned
out, but the gossips must talk, you know.
and they are making the most OF this. Errett
is a clever fellow, and he is in luck. Miss
Cunningham will be wiser and better
woman year from now. The old folks are
making the best of it, and that's all any body
can do.

father tell. A gentleman was visiting a
friend in western New York. Walking out
the morning after his arrival he came to a
number of poplar trees. They had been
trimmed up for thirty feet, making it a
difficult job to climb them. The gentleman
was surprised, however, to see small boy
come forward and commence to shin up one
of the trees, and he was amazed TO see the
boy simply scramble down and commence
the ascent of another poplar After this
performance had been going on for some tirae

struck the ground, and said:

Charlottesville Journal, 9Th.
Some time ago Fred. Kruger who has been
living in Charlottesville for a number of
years. concluded he would send to Germany
for a wife. He wrote to his brother about
the matter and was notified that selection
had been made. The name of the prospect
i've bride was Eloise Stage and she was a
native of Westphalia, Prussia. On May %,
accompanied by little nephew of Mr..
Kruger, Miss Stagg sailed from Bremen. On
Saturday of last week she was met in Toledo
by Mr.. Kruger, to whom her appearance had
been described. He went to the depot and
waited as some German emigrants left the
train, until one answering the description
stepped upon the platform, when he accosted
her and found it to be the one whose ar
rival he had been anticipating. They went
to New London, a small station between
Dayton and Toledo, where Mr.. Kruger s
sister resides,a and were married on Wednesday
by Lutheran clergyman, both bride and
groom being of that faith. From New
London they came at once to Charlottesville
and have begun housekeeping in a small
cottage near Troutmans mill. Mrs Kruger
brought her possessions, among which was
large quantity of homespun linen, without
which, in thrifty German families, no BRIDE
dover is complete, in stout chest weighing
205 pounds. Mrs. Kruger cannot speak
English and has left all her relatives across
the ocean, She is quite young, but is tall
strong and we'll preportioned, with bright
blue eyes and fair hair.

Thompson, owner of certain property on
First street. that suit had been filed for APP
praisers to condemn her property for right
OF way. Mrs. Thompson answered this by
an application for an INDUCTION to restrain
the condemnation proceedings. The rail-

do anything Finally the engineer and con-
