A Romantic w cddinS.

Ex-Gov. William Sprague, of Provi-
dence, r. l., was married at the Virginia
Hotel, iu Stanton, Va, on Thursday
night of last week, TO Mrs. Dora Inez
Calvert, who had arrived from Green
brier county, West Virginia, few hours
before the ceremony was performed.
The officiating minister was Rev. Walter
@. Hullihen, of Trinity Episcopal
Church. The Governor reached Staun-
ton on "Wednesday. Upon the arrival
of the lady, who is understood to be d.
vorced, aud who is native OF Connec-
,icut, but has been residing in West
Virginia fourteen years, the Ex-senator
applied at the county clerks office for a
license, which was refused. He then
applied at the city clerks office, and was
again refused, the clerk telling him that
the lady must be resident of Stanton
for the license to be legally granted.
The anxious lover then sought the coun-
Sci OF the city attorney, Edward Rehob.
The result was that Mrs. Calvert pre-
sented herself to Clerk Argenbright,
and said: IL am resident OF this city,
and have no other residence in the
world. 1t is my usual place of abode,
and if necessary you can have my aff-
davit to that effect" Rev. Mr.. Hull.
hen, having been then sent for. united
the two in the bonds of holy matrimouy,
iu the hotel parlor, in the presence OF
the proprietor, Mr.. j. D. Crowle and
his wife, Edward Rehob and Samuel A.
Sprisele. The one o'clock train took
the bridal couple northward.

How n Passenger Saved u Train

On Monday afternoon the operator at
Paris forgot to switch the Grand Rapids
and Indiana passeugertrain bound south,
and it pulled out at usual speed. A
freight was going north. but a sudden
turn in the road prevented the engi-
neers seeing each others trains. Some
track men took in the situation and sig
nailed the approaching trains Of the dam
ger. Both reversed engines, aud the
engineer and fireman of the passenger
jumped The engineer and fireman Of
the freight stood at their post. The
collision took place, but happily was
not serious Many of the passengers
leaped from the train and there was
great excitement for time. The re-
manning passengers had barely recover
ed from the shock when they found their
train was running back at about thirty
miles an hour and without an engineer
The danger was great and the widest
excitement prevailed, when a young
man named John Cassel, of Lakev!ew,
unable to reach the engine by passing
through the baggage and express car,
owing to locked doors, climbed up, ran
across the cars, dropped into the caboose,
and shut off the steam, thereby prevent
ing what threatened for a few moments
a terrible calamity.-Dstroh Post and

A MurderOus Servant.

A German servant girl, named Cath
arine Metzger, in the employ Of Samuel
May, at Philadelphia, made an attempt
last Friday morning to murder her mis-
tress, Mrs. Lizzie May. She got up in
the night, went to the cellar ard pro-
cured Ratchet, which she hid under
the bed. Al half. past five in the morn
ing she arose again, seized her mistress
by the hair as she lay sleeping, aud beat
her about the head with the blunt end
of the Ratchet. A desperate struggle
ensued, during which Mrs. May wrench
ed the Ratchet from Catharine's hand.
The girl then seized bottle ofbay rum
which stood on the bureau and flung it
at Mrs. May. The missile missed its
mark and struck the infant, Edward,
who was asleep in the crib, breaking in
his skull The struggle between the
two women was then recommended, and
ended by Mrs, May throwing the ser
want out of the room and locking the
door. Her cries brought the police.
The girl then went to the bathroom,
washed the blood from the Ratchet and
lay down in bed, where the police found
her. Mrs. May is young woman aud
has been married about two years.
The girl, who came from Germany
three months ago, had only been week
in the employ of the May family. She
is only Is years old, and gives no other
reason for the murderous assault than
that she was prompted for several days
to do it by some unseen power IN q
dream. She was locked up.

How Jumbo Tossed the MastiH.

A short time ago large mastiff was
purchased as companion for Jumbo.
A smaller dog had been the mammoth 3
companion for some time aud to him
Jumbo had become greatly attached.
Saturday the mastiff was introduced to
his new companion and the latter gave
vent to bis displeasure by series ct low
growls. Suddenly he caught the mas
tiff around the body with his trunk and
threw him clear across the building.
The unfortunate canine struck against
the elephant Pilot and was instantly
killed. Pilot was maddened by the blow
and at once began charging the other
elephants. There was great uproar
tor while, but finally ropes were got
about Pilot and he was secured. Dur
ing all the time, after killing the dog,
Jumbo stood quietly feeding. Queen,
the baby elephants mother, stood ready
to protect her young one. Pilot, after
being secured, was chained up by him

There was q scene Of great excite
ment at the room occupied by some Of
the wild animals belonging to billiards
circus and menageris yesterday after
noon. The occasion was the birth Of
three baby lions. In the afternoon the
African and Asiatic lions, in the cage
next to that of the lioness, began to
hound about in their narrow quarters,
shaking the entire building with their
powerful blows, and the iron bars seemed
TOO frall to hold them in. Their roars
were terrifying and set all the other an
finals agog. The lone hyena, whose
companion died few days ago, joined
10 the tamult with the most moprnful
yells, the monkeys barked and chartered
in great excitement, the Siberian ape
climbed to the top of the bars aud kept
up an incessant pounding with his hind
feet, the cockatoo Set up its most devil
ish screeching and even the mild-man-
nered black bear displayed unusual ill.,
,erest in the uproar. BY 3 o'clock three
pretty little notified cubs were brought
to life. They are about foot long aud
covered with fine, silky, yellow hair,
slightly brindied, looking as much like
puppies as cubs. The mother regards
them most tenderly and gives a most
threatening look to any outsider who
displays his curiosity by approaching
too close to her cage. "They grow very
rapidly" said Mr.. Garvey, land in
few days they will be playing around
as lively and affec,ionate as kittens -

A Warm.foOted Youth.

A dispatch from Concord, N. g.,
says: A. M. Wilhelm, of Cabarrus coun-
ty, passed through here yesterday with
a sick sou, aged twenty, on the way to
Salisbury, to consult physicians about
an extraordinary malady with which
this youth is afflicted. An ordinary
bathing tub can be filled with cold water
and the boys feet placed therein, and
in eight minutes the water will be made
60 hot that the heat can be felt through
the slaves of the tub. The boy suffers
agony, describing his sensations like
having his feet in bed OF hot Goals all
the time. He is carried from his fathers
house TO Salisbury with his feet in tub
of water. Between his house and Con-
cord Mr.. Wilhelm had to change the
water four times, aud shortly after being
changed each time it would become hot
again. At times the pain suffered by
the boy is almos! beyond endurance.
Morphine used in treble doses has no
effect upon him.

A Sleeping.Car Burned.

About 4 o'clock Tuesday morning a
Pullman sleeper Oh the Pennsy lvania
Railroad took fire at Wilmore Station,
and was totally consumed. The car
was the through sleeper from Washing
ton CITY to the West. and was filed with
passengers. Fortunately the fire was
discovered in time TO allow every occu-
pant of the car TO escape, but most OF
them were turned out of their warm
couches into the chilling mountain blasts
without anything but their clothing.
Blankets were soon procured from other
sleeping cars on the train, aud such &C
commodations as were possible were
provided. Among the passengers were
Pension Commissioner Dudley, General
Calkins, of Indiana, and Colonel Ben
Wilson, of West Virginia. The fire is
supposed to have been caused by the
oyerturning OF lamp.
