A Fatal Choice.

With the drifting clouds ofsmoke and
steam that rise from the ruins of the ILL
fated NewhaH house at Milwaukee,
there comes sadly romantic story, in
which gentleman of this city is one OF
the actors. Only few months ago Mr..
Porteous, of this city went to Canada to
marry Miss Sutton, to whom he had
been engaged for some time. He re-
manned there some time. His friends
waited, with no little wonder at the de-
lay. to hear that the ceremony had been
performed. No word came, however,
and to the surprise of all. when at last
the groom-elect did return, he brought
with him the sister of the lady to whom
he had been engaged, and for whose
hand he had gone to the dominion.
1t seems that when Mr.. Porteous
reached the home of his fiancee another
had come between them. She had met
and learned to love an actor, and prom
ised to become his wife. This Mr.. Por-
teous learned when she had refused him
her hand and given him bis liberty. He
then found out that his affection had
transferred itself to Miss SuttOn's sister,
and forthwith wooed and won her, re-
turning home in triumph with q bride.
The young lady TO whom Mr.. Porteous
first intrusted his heart, mo- longer fet-
tered with betrothal, then gave her
heart to Mr.. John Gilbert, of the Minnie
Palmer company, and with him went
on the boards. This fact was not known
to the wife of Mr.. Porteous, however,
and for several weeks she has been ex-
pecting visit from her sister. When
the news of the terrible calamity at Mil
waukee was flashed over the wires,
Mrs. Porteous was struck by the name
of Mrs. John Gilbert among the victims
and an investigation proved the sad
facts too true. Her only sister, the
bride of one night, was burned in that
fearful death-trap. -Loussuitle Courier

TAKEN OFF HIS COAT.
From the New York Herald
The events of last week created con-
siderable stir and some acrimony, per
haps. among the leading billiard players
of the country. FIRST came the news that
Maurice Yignaux would arrive here in
February and play in the new balk line
tournament in Chicago in March: next,
the announcement that neither Jacob
Sehaefer nor William Sexton would enter
if Vignaux was to play: next, that, George
Slosson would not play in that or any
other tournament until he had first had a
match with Vignaux; next that, perhaps.
if there were one. Schaefer and Sexton
would play; next, Sexton challenged Wig
naux to play him match at cushion car
roms for 81 900 a side; next, Schaefer Also
challenged Vignaux ia play him match
at either billiards, straight cushion car IN
champions game or the new balk line
game for 81 900 side.
And now ariseth Mr. Slosson to chal-
lenge both Sexton and Schaefer. He
offers to play the former match at cush-
ion caroms at $500 side, 500 points,
within fifteen days: and he challenged
Schaefer to play the champions game,
balk, lines extended to Is and 80 inches,
800 points up, for $500 side, the match
to be played within forty days. He says
he has fixed the time so that neither match
may interfere with the expected engage
ments with Vignaux All these events,
occurring within single week, even
excited the establishment Of the billiard
world which has been accustomed to
seeing challenges issued after mature
deliberation and at infrequent intervals.

Clutches are Ungrateful.

A goat disturbed worship in a st.
Louis church by trotting up the main
aisle, mounting the platform steps.
and trying to eat the green fringe off
the pulpit drapery. 1t made things
very embarrassing. The preacher
gazed reprovingly at the animal, but
didn't seem disposed to undertake its
ejectment. Neither of the deacons
moved, both feigning sleep, and the
request of the clergyman that they
would remove the beast was Unheed-
ed. None of the congregation SEEM
ed disposed to tackle the job, either.
There was pause, and the goat
munched away quietly on the fringe.
The parsoD was the picture of misery
as he gazed at the goat. Finally he
called on the sexton. and that gentle
man reluctantly responded. He cauti-
ously approached itand said, "Shooi"
The goat raised its head, and the ter
rified sexton whirled and ran down
the aisle. He had red handkerchief
hanging from his coat tail pocket.
The goat saw it. The sexton looked
back, saw The goat coming, yelled
and bounded ahead like deer. But
1t was no use. The goat caught him
just at the door and sent him flying
down the steps. and went rolling after
him. The goat broke its neck. and
the sexton Was so hurt that he had to
be toted home. The clergyman on
resuming said they ought 10 sympa-
thiZe with the sexton, but neverthe-
less the congregation howled with
laughter, and the service was fail
ure. Republics and churches are UNI
grateful.

legislative Printing Bids.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Nov. 4.-Four-
teen proposals were opened Saturday
for the State printing of the session
of 1884. The bids were opened by
Spencer G. Jones, clerk of the Court
OF Appeals, in the presence of several
bidders and others. The bids were
as follows; From Baltimore Cole
& Co., S47, 800: Cary & Co.. SIT 400;
Farringer & Co., $4,000; John B.
Pet & Co., S24, 900; w. ]. G. Dulany.
$40, 300; King Bros, $4,000: james
Young, S12.4OO. From Annapolis:
Smith & Co., $4,000; G. X. N.
Schwrar, $4,000; VIM. M. Abbott &
Co., S14,5OO; E. S. Riley, S14,444.44;
VIM. T. Inglehart & Co., annapolis
AdUertiSer,) S13,5OO; also, w. NJ.
Price, of Cumberland. $4,000. and
w. w. Busted, {Centrevilte O6seru-
err $4,000.
The offer to furnish 100000 bond
in Mr.. Young's proposal was at first
mistaken as his bid, and on this un-
Outstanding Mr.. Jones, the clerk,
declared that if Messrs. Inglehart and
Busted could arrange between them
selves, he would award the contract
to them, their bids being each S13.500.
Later in the day, after Clerk Jones
had left the city, Mr.. Young inquir-
ed what had become of his bid oil
S12,4O0. which led to the discovery
of the error. Mr.. J. Shaaff Stockett,
State reporter. upon examination,
found the error had been made in
supposing that Mr.. Young's bid was
for $50, 900, the amount stated as the
penalty for the bond, when the bid
was intended for S12,400. Clerk
Jones will be apprised of the mistake
and Mr.. Young will probably get
the contract. The price is thought to
be very low considering the uncer-
tainty of the amount of work to be
done.

Attacking Gov. Butler.

BOSTON, MASS, November 2.-An
address to the German-A cit
liens of Massachusetts, many of whom
voted for Butler last year, will be is
sued in the morning, signed by a
large number of the most influential
among the Germans residing here
and in other sections of the State.
They declare in this address against
Buffers acts and demands, that they
condemn his bossism. which is both
public danger and a national scan
dali" They say that they do not
wish for Governor who carried the
methods and morals of the criminal
lawyer into the affairs of the State.
They condemn "the words and acts
of Gov. Butler. who prefers his per-
sonal ambition to the honor, the well
fare and liberties of our State" and
they warn their fellow-citizensa against
"the disgraceful, dangerous and ty-
ranical ambition of Gov. Butler,
which threatens our public and pri-
vate freedom" The advise saIl
lovers of liberty, rights. order and
law, including license law" to sup
port Mr.. Robinson. Appended to
the address is a letter from Carl
Schurz to Chairman Lodge, of the
Republican State Committee, declin-
ing an invitation to speak in the cam
paign here. In this letter General
Schurz says: "The Republicans,
and the Independents, and the Dem
ocrats represented by such men as
John Quincy Adams, Frank w.
Bird and others, will. 1 am sure, not
only be abundantly able, but proud
to set their State right again by their
own efforts" He adds, respecting
the position of the German-born citi-
zens, that he is confident that a large
majority of them. who for whatever
reason voted for General Butler at
the last election. will simply, follow
ing their own just impulse, take good
care, after the experience the people
of Massachusetts have gone through,
not be found on the same side Sec
ond time. 1t is believed that the
bulk of the German vote will this
year 60 for Robinson.

The Business World.

NEW YORK, November 3.-The
movement of general merchandise
during the week, as reported by spe-
cial kilograms from leading trade
centers to BrodStreet's, has been of
more moderate character than for
some weeks past. At number of
cities the October trade will compare
favorably with thati the correspond
ing month last year, while at most
distributing points the volume of
traffic for August, September and
October will measurably exceed that
taking place in the like three months
in 1892. Jobbers in general lines at
eastern centers are mainly doing a
reassortment trade. In various por-
tons of the west the unfavorable
weather has continued to interfere
with general trade, In some portions
OF the northwest the movement of
goods has continued to be active and
in excess of the rate of distribution at
the east. The tendency of farmers at
some points to hold back their wheat
and corn for higher prices has had an
unfavorable effect on traffic returns.
The industrial situation is no worse
than it has been for some time past.
The glassmakers, bituminous coal
miners in western Pennsylvania, and
various other trades to a lesser extent
have been involved in disputes with
their employees as to wages, and in
some instances have already capitu-
lated. ar
