REFUSED TO MARRY THE GIRL
Because Her Pa wouldn't Plank Down
the Cash.

BALTIMORE, March 23.-Miss Jennie Her
man, daughter of Jacob Herman, was to
have been married last evening to Mr..
Charles Beckman, at her fathers residence,
324 East Baltimore street. When the
guests arrived they found the residence Of
the Hermans closed and were told the we'd
ding had been postponed. 1t was learned
that the bridegroom. elect disappeared few
hours before the time set for the cere-
mony, after vainly endeavoring to have 1t
postponed. The Hermans are very wealthy,
and the young girl is belle among the
Germans of Baltimore. Beckman came to
this country about four months ago and
obtained employment in the dry goods
house OF Mr.. Herman, where he showed
much business capacity and Industry. He
CHANGED to meet his employers daughter,
they became engaged, and the parents con-
sented to the union. BeCkman broached
the subject of dover but the father refused,
to do more than start the groom in busi-
ness with s., 900 worth of stock. Beckmsn
wanted $40, go cash and Herman would not
give it. On Tuesday Beckman called on the
bride elect, and during the evening fell on
the floor as though suffering from an
epileptic fit. He then made the proposal
TO postpone the wedding, but did not get
the girls consent. The opinion is that he
desired 10 marry the girl for her money
and failing to induce the father 10 come
down handsomely he absconded. The girl
is quite i'll.

PITTSBURGH, March pa serious runa-
way occurred on the South Side this morn

old man who died at Mckeesport, was be-
ing driven from the B. X o. depot to Jacob

ly smashed, but the horses still continued
their flight, running toward the river.
They were finally stopped by the hearse
being turned completely upside down.
The coffin was thrown out, and burst opea

quickly replaced in the coffin, however,
and taken TO its destination. The hearse is

doubt on the guilt of Silas Gray, who is TO

We had the pleasure OF meeting Prof.
Gamgee, an eminent English scientist The
National Board Of Health last winter
adopted his plan for disinfecting foreign
vessels coming into our ports with yellow
fever. He claims that il is not land dis
ease, bur originates under or near the
equator, from bilge-water ia ships, where
the water and air are both hot; that at
Calcutta and other places near the equator,
where the water is kept cold by ice, il is
entirely unknown. His theory 10 to pro-
duce intense cold in the hulls of all vessels
coming from q hot sea, before entering our
ports, thereby killing the germs Of yellow
fever that might be in them. 1t is at least
plausible and worth trying. Prof Gamgee
says he has also about completed an inven.
tion in New Orleans which will unques-
tionably take the place Of the steam engine
by utilizing air and water. He would not
say much about it, only that il was an
Assured Fact.
From what he did say inferred Il was
something on the plan Of the Kelley
motor, except that no machinery could
be be made strong enough to oop.ai9 %
thinks he has invented machinery that will
completely control his forces. He says:
at was never intended to burn up coal and
wood to produce power to run the machin-
cry of the world. This is continual and
useless destruction OF useful material
formed for other purposes" That he de-
stroys nothing TO produce power, but sim.
ply uses a small quantity Of the forces
which surround us and costs nothing. He
assured me that would soon see the last
steam engine pulling train OF cars, pro-
pel.ing steam boat or running any ma.

GRAIN TRADE.
had Weather Acts as a Bull I'm the
Markets.

CHICAGO, March 23.-There is no telling
where prices of grain would have gone
this week if the sudden change in the
weather had not occurred, bringing with
it renewed stories of damaged winter
wheat. The week certainly opened with a
marked enough downward tendency to
satisfy any bear, but these causes proved a
check and caused reaction.
The wheat market was weak and I'M
settled with the late bulls heavy sellers.
The steady increase in the visible supply,
notwithstanding the fact that our receipts
were not large, with the prospect OF the
English trade being supplied by
large offerings from Russia and India, ex-
erted depressing influence, but the i'm
mediate cause of the decentralization was
the continued offering OF hunored thou
sand bushel lots at shaded prices by the
stronger bull operators who had apparently
become discouraged. Some comfort was
had by holders from the statements that
the drouth in California would greatly re-
duce the yield there, but reports OF damage
elsewhere in this country were not fully
sustained, ii being as yet too early TO de-
termine the extent OF tbs loss.
The mills, although grinding less than
usual, are yet sending forth quite guam
tity, and being unable to sell at home, are
compelled to export their production,
which is selling in Liverpool for less than
the same brands can be had for here, as
the foreign markets are greatly overstock-
ed, having quantity on hand sufficient TO
last for at least sixty days. The question
has not been one so much OF price as OF
lack of demand.
The new corn inspection is proving q
potent factor in the bear interest in that
market, which has lately needed no new
influence to induce weakness. OF large re-
ceipts, as high as 50 per cent. some days
this week have graded No. =
the speculative grade. This has been
revelation and has scared out
some hitherto firm believers in higher
prices and possible corner. 1t has also
induced a considerable unloading OF corn
held for May boom, on the rumor that
soft corn that could not stsnd the warm
April weather without heating, was pass
ing the inspection. The foreign demand
is abating on account OF the heavy exports
from this market during the last few
weeks.
Oats have suffered severely from the gen.
eral weakness, although there has been a
good call for cash oats and parties having
heavy lines out for the futures have been
holding on and not selling. There has
been disposition towards recovery when
ever other grains showed any strength.
Rye and barley are too dull to offer any
resistance to the bears. The former had
suffered sharp decline and both have been
shaded to suit buyers, the demand not
being equal 10 the supply.

TRAFFIC IN BABIES.
Sensational Developments Follow the
Suspicious Death Of an Infant.


New YORK, March ga coroner's in
quest regarding baby thought to have
been poisoned led to queer revelations to-
day. The coroner found that the child was
the adopted child Of Mrs. Pardo. Mrs.
Pardo told him a curious story Of traffic in
babies. Several months ago she said she
bought baby from Mrs. Pose, OF SO Sui
livan street. for s.. She found that the
child was not healthy, and returned it to
Mrs. Pose, at the same time saying that she
was willing to pay $40 for healthy black
eyed girl baby. Mrs. Pose promised to
find her one, and on October so showed her
another child 1t snited Mrs. Pardo and
she gave Mrs. Hannah Hayward, who rep
resented herself as the mother OF the child,
$40. She got in return the baby, re.
ceipt and contract, in which Mrs. Hayward
resigned all claim to the child
This was the contract:
OCTOBER 80, lSS2.-This is to certify that

adoption to Mrs. Emma Levy, that she may
keep it as her own. She hereby agrees to
love, cherish, provide and protect it and

any concerned. give my child with my

[SiCned HANNAH HAYWARD.
The baby throve. After that she had
trouble with Mrs. Pose about the child.
Two weeks ago Wednesday a colored girl
named Sarah came to the house and was
engaged as a servant. She warned Sarah
against Mrs. Pose, but afterward suspected
that the girl was in Mrs. Poses employ.
On Monday last, after eating some crack
ers, condensed milk and beef
tea, the child sickened
Sarah broke a showcase that night and
left the house. Mrs. PardO says she said
at going: "In week you won't have
your babe nor your store, neither" On
Wednesday the child died. DR.. Donlin
will make an autopsy tomorrow. At the
inquest the traffic in babies will be in.
quired into.
1t is said that several societies in the
city give ont babies to be fed on the bottle,
paying the nurses by the month, anu that
in some cases the babies are sold by the
nurses, who have no difficulty in getting
their pey from the society by presenting
a borrowed baby to the agent on the first
of each month.

A STRAIGHT FLUSH.
s54, 900 Won by . Philadelphian at .
- Poker Game.

PHILApELPHIA, March 23.-When fast
young club men tire of the monotony OF
club pariors and smoking rooms, they oci
casionally seek the seclusion OF popoular
hotel not mile from the Union League
and indulge in quiet game of poker, with
jack-pots and all the trimmings. A few
nights ago such game was in progress, in
which the Philadelphia Social Art and
Union Lesgue clubs were represented.
After an hour or SO of play with
hardly enough difference in fortune,
to warm up the players a jack pot was
made which was not broken until four or
five deals bad swelled it to handsome
sum. Young Thos. A. Scott, finding three
queens, threw in a twenty-dollar gold
piece with great confidence. John Tucker
examined his hand and found a pair OF
Jacks and the ten, nine and seven OF dia;
monds, one of his jacks being also OF that
suit, with alternative of drawing to his
four flush. Mr.. Tucker remarked 1t would
cost $50 TO play, and he put up the cash.
All the play ers threw up their hands ex-
cepting Mr.. Scott, who merely
Saw the Raise.
Mr.. Scott drew card and got his fourth
queen. Mr.. Tucker split his jacks and
drawing to his four flush took in the eight
of diamonds, making his hand straight
flush. Mr.. Scott said his hand was worth
81, 600 and put that amount in the pot
my hand is worth s3,0O0," said Mr.. Tucker
in tone whose nervousness caused Mr..
Scott to think that perhaps an attempt to
bluff was in progress. "$5, coo more" Mr..
Scott said. "Sl5, 900 MORE" Mr.. Tucker
then retorted. Mr.. Scotts confidence
in his queens was undiminished: He
chuckled to himself to think what q
snap Tucker had got himself into. There
might be some doubt about Mr.. fuckers
ability to pay if he lost but it was worth
the risk. 10000 more" was the net result
of Mr.. Scott's brief safe consultation. Mr..
Tucker paused, ran his eye over his hand
to see whether it was all right, and appar-
emily went into a computation OF his bank
account. 81 CALL he said throwing an |;
o. U. to balance the pot. -Four queens"
said Mr. Scott, spreading out the hand on
the table, and making move as though
to rake in the stakes, Not so fast, if you
please a straight flush" said Tucker. Mr..
Scott's face fell, and Mr.. Tucker pocketed
his winnings, over $54, 900, in his hand.

RIDDIEBERGER.
What MRhone's Lieutenant Thinks OF
the Political Situation in Virginia.

W hat nhhOueS LfehtenSnt hhAoAS "
the Political Situation in Virginia
WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator Riddle
berger is of the opinion that the debt issue
in Virginia is closed as judicial question,
but remains open as a political question,
and will continue to divide parties in the
Old Dominion until the process OF funding
all classes of all State securities into the
new Riddleberger bonds is completed.
The Senator cannot admit his party has
fulfilled its mission and now lags super
tluous on the political stage. Ii new
issues are needed they will be
forthcoming. The doctrine of pro-
lection, will, he thinks, enable the Read
iuster leaders to rally their full party
strength, and il that fails, the and Com
missiOners' Bill, defeaoed at the last ses-
sion of the Legislature, will win votes.
What he has to say in regard to the amount
of bonds already issued under the act
Ehich goes under his name is more inter
esting, perhaps, than his political prognos-
tications. But with regard to this, he is
not prepared to add much to the public
knowledge Ii will be seen that there are
some important interests inyOlyei in the
debt issue that do not regard the jrdicial
question as closed. and are still willing to
give the Readjusters a chance to be re-
formed.
