THE BOUNCER,S BRIDE.

 Quietly in Brooklyn.

Quietly in Brooklyn.
 BROOKLYN, Sept. 2S-Mrs Conlon is not Mrs. Cornell, as reported. The gentleman who won the heart of MT. Theiss' lady cash fer was familiar called FtJohn," or MT. Con nell when he had his ''of days" and was punctilious, but it seems his name is Conlon. Yesterday reporter called upon him. Just now he lives in Brooklyn, so he says, and there are couple of well furnished rooms to sustain him in his statement. Mrs. Con- lon is ftfar from the madding crowd" that used to call in at the Alhambra, and she is discharging the most wifelike functions where the alleged happy couple are at present so- iourning. reporter called upon them yes terday. His conversation with the lady was brief, but it was picturesque. She referred to her old home with it's glaring Greek fig ures, which in the Alhambra are leading about bulls for sacrifice and doing other mythological things that require considerable imagination and no clothes. Mrs. Conlon was not attracted to the notoriety she and her husband had acquired, but she was thor oughly satisfied with her lot and spoke in this vein:-
 sEYou reporters and others have been mak- ing circus out of us, and there aint no req son for it. We-that is John and me-were married before we left the old mans place. He can talk about me now and give me the deuce if he wants to, but am not girl that is going to be b1uffed by stepfather. I am following my own feelings and don't care how the world is going to gossip about it. :"
 Mrs. Conlon also desired the following communication to be published over her sig nature, so that the public would be thorough 1y informed as to her disposition:
 To the Editor of the Herald: sipers that was married in Grace Chapel Two days before left my home, and if G. Theiss says am not daughter of his am the daughter of the wo- man that made man of him and the city knows it,
 Mas J. CoNLoN,
 Give this as much space as you gave the sensa- ton.
 Rev. Dr. Edwards, of Grace chapel, Brook lyn, corroborated Mrs. Johns statement, so 'tall gossipers" in the neighborhood of the square who want material for a little lively conversation will have to get on to something else. "John" and his bride are duly married, and that settles it. Before leaving the reporter inquired after Mrs Conlon's health and was informed that it was admirable. He was glad to hear it. The wild, weird aspect of the scenery pre- sented by the vacant lots about Fourteenth street and Fifth avenue, Brooklyn, is not conducive to sanitary prosperity. MT Ihelss is still happy and Mrs. Theiss does not digress bit from the even tenor of her good nature. The bouncers far and wide are more orna- mental than of yore, and are generally re- ferred to as eligible parties.

The Passengers Thrown Into the
 Water and Several Drowned.
 MICHIGAN CTTY, Ind, Sept. 28.-A calam- ity, the results of which are not yet known, happened in this city last evening. The Franklin street ferry, which is a frail boat not larger than common skiff, plies be- tween the extensive lumber yards on the shore of the lake and the main portion of the city. The distance across the harbor is about two hundred feet and the water is about sixteen feet deep. The ferry was worked by an ordinary chain which passed through set of pulleys and kept the boat in an upright position. The boat has a capacity of about twenty passengers, but the hundreds of laburs from the yards have been in the habit of crowding into it peIl mel. Frequently it has been loaded to the water's edge, but so long as no accident oc- cured the practice was continued. Last evening the boat was loaded with between thirty and forty passengers. Before she left the dock the chain broke and the unsteady movement of the vessel frightened the men, who rushed from side to side, finally capsizing her. The entire party were thrown into the water, but it was supposed all were rescued by the yawl boats in the city. Planks and timbers were thrown to the struggling men and they were thus supported until taken from the water Each one immediately rushed for his home and there were no means of knowing whether anyone had been drowned until later, when parents and friends, frantic with grief came running to the scene making in- quiries for missing ones. It then became apparent that some were lost. Searching parties were set to work dragging the river and their labors were soon rewarded by the finding of two bodies. The first was that of Charles Ribbeck, an unmarried laborer, twenty-four years old He lived with his parents. The other body has not yet been identified. It is that of young man of about nineteen years of age. None of the dockmen knew him and the inference is that he was stranger look ing for work and unfortunately took passage on the boat. The searching party is still at work and fear that others are still in the water, as parents and friends are yet anx- iously inquiring for those known to have been on board the boat The harbor was lighted up with many. fires all night while the search is being kept up.

Hosmer won the toss and chose the inside position. Gaudaur dipped his oa1s first and got little the best of the start, gaining about half length on his opponent. At the. half mile Hosmer caught up with him and they kept together to the turn. The race was even half way back, when Gaudaur drew ahead and continued to gain steadily on Hosmer. When a little over mile from home Hosmer gave up the race and Gaudaur slacked up little, winning the race by about four lengths Time, 20:56.
