formation has been received by George
Simpson, the Broadway banker, OF the
runaway marriage of Miss Mary Z. Will
lard, of Washington, D. c., and William
Paxton, a patent lawyer of that city.
Miss Willard was to be married to Frank
Simpson, Of Kentucky, n son of the

on a grand scale. about fifteen hundred
invitations having been sent ont for the
reception. The trousscau was purchased
in Europe, with elaborate icwelry in this
city. Miss Willard's father is on his way
across the ocean. George E. Simpson,
when spoken to by a Mad aud Express
reporter, said. II received a telegram
from the young lady's mother, stating
that Mary had been married yesterday
morning without the knowledge of n
member of the family. Mss Willard and
my son were acquainted for three years.
There had been no intimation on her
part hat she desired to break the engage
ment, in fact when the financial difficulty
occurred with our firm in this city during
the recent panic, and an offer was made
to her to cancel the engagement, she ex-
pressed the strongest devotion to my son.
She had been often at my house and an
affectionate intimacy appeared to exist be-
tween my daughter and Miss Willard.

that he should have found her want Of

in life. At present he is in Orange. N.

GALVESTON, December 4.-Thc Me,ss'
Sulphur Springs special says: About ,
O'Clock this morning a masked mob of 100
men surrounded the Jail and demanded of
the Sheriff to deliver Newton Albrooks,
the mulatto, implicated in the murderous
assault upon Frank Jones and wife a few
nights since. Sheriff Smith appeared
and delivered the keys to the ring leaders.
A posse searched the jail, but the bird
had flown. The Sheriff anticipating the
visit had secretly sent the prisoner to a
neighboring town. Perry Reilly. the
partner of Albrooks in the crime, had
been taken from the Sheriff on the way to
jail and lynched.

cleveland's Warm Welcome

NEW York, December Actors
Fund benefit at the Academy of Music
this afternoon was one Of the most sue
cessful affairs that ever occurred in New
York. Much of the eclat belonging to it
was. of course, due to the presence of
Governor Cleveland, who, on this occa-
sion, attended a public entertainment for
the first time since his election to the
Presidency. The vast auditorium was
literally packed. Hundreds of persons
entered the lobby only to be able Il get
within six feet of the inner doors. Every
theatrical person Of eminence in town Sc
cured a box. P~resident-elect Cleveland
had a cordial welcome at every station be-
tween Albany and New York. The
President of the Actors Association and
Mayor Edison, Mayor-elcct Grace and a
great throng of people received Cleveland
at the depot. The welcome in the
Academy was of the widest kind. The
President expressed a wish to meet the
artists engaged in the several perform
ances. Joe Jefferson, however, had then
left for Philadelphia and Irving and Miss
Terry gone to their hotel. A committee
man left in hot haste for the Breevort
House and as quickly returned with
Irving. who was presented to the Presi-
dent-elect and warmly grasped by both
hands. Cleveland expressed regret at
not meeting Miss Terry and Jefferson.
He returned TO Albany at ) O'Clock. Po-
lice guarded Cleveland's box during his
stay in the Academy, preventing the entry
of either politicians or interviewers. The
days proceeds of the benefit for the
Actors Fund are $4,000.
The Actors Fund benefit in Baltimore
was fairly attended.

NEW YORK, December "A Wash
ington special to the Post says: A promi-
nen Democratic member of Congress,
who recently visited Governor Cleveland,
says the letter said to him: II intend to
resign the 9th of January and as Lieuten-
ant Governor Hill will administer the
Executive Office for the next year, 1 have
turned the writing Of message over to
him. After laying down the duties of
Governor, I.shall listen to whatever my
Democratic friends have to say and 1
shall divide my time between Albany and
Buffalo until the day arrives TO go 10
Washington. l intend to give due con-
sideration to the counsel of my own party
friends. II may be that when l enter the
Presidential office some things may not
move as fast as some Democrats wish,
but l think it will be better to 70 slow
and be sure. We cannot hope to avoid
mistakes, but If we proceed slowly, we
will make fewer mistakes than if we 90.
with a rush.
The member of Congress with whom
Cleveland talked says the Governor will
become President without any ambition
for a second term, that he holds to the
second term principle laid down in his
letter of acceptance and declared that his
great object is 10 so administer the Gov
ernmen as to lay the foundation of a
long continued Democratic rule. The
Governor incidentally alluded to the re-
port Of a quarrel between him and Hen
bricks, saying they did not in their con-
versation discuss politics and that two
men never parted more pleasantly. This
Congressman drew from his conversation
with Cleveland that the latter has not yet
made up his mind with regard to a single
Cabinet appointment. He is deferring
these matters until no retires from the
~Goveruorship.

THE GRAND ARMY.

MINNEAPoLIs, July 21.-The 18th
annual national encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic will
open here tomorrow. To-day was
passed in receiving incoming delegates
and visitors who have been arriving
on every train, in the aggregate num-
boring several thousand; and late eve
ming trains brought fully 1900 more.
The city is profusely decorated in
honor of the occasion. Arrangements
contemplate lodging and feed
ing of 10000 guests. The
camp is named Camp
Beatie, after the National
Commander r. Beatie, of PhiIadel-
phia. 1t is on the fair grounds, one
mile from the centre of the city, and
is prepared in the way of houses,
tents and restaurants to care for
10000. Gen. Sherman arrived Satur-
day night. Gen. Logan and delega-

GREAT LABOR STRIKE.

NEW YORK. July 21.-About 2,0C0
bricklayers, 5000 laborers, and 2C0
head hosting engineers and trainers
struck work this morning because
their employers refused to grant the
demand that nine hours shall consti-
tute I, days work instead of ten. The
employers who denied the request say
they can get other men to take the
vacant pl ices, and whether they can
or not it will be but few days when
the men will be willing to return I'M
der the old terms. The bosses who
granted nine hours think the others
foolish, as they will have to yield in
the end. AS fast as the men struck
they reported at the headquarters of
their respective unions. About thir-
ty-five employers allowed the men to
go to work on their own terms.
Hugh McMahon, who has charge of
the erection of the new cotton eX-
change, says: The building trade is
very lively. 1 do not think the boss
builders can afford to have the men
go on a strike for any length of time
without suffering great loss. Nearly
all the large builders will grant the
demand"
The strikers claim that they can
stand it longer than the employers,
and will hold out six months. 1t is
reported that on many of the jobs the
men were not out ten minutes before
they were told to go to work again.
A large number of the bosses held out
until noon and then yielded, thus
leaving not over 1900 men on strike.

GALVESTON JOTTINGS.

GALVESTON, July 21.-It is stated
on reliable authority that an agree
mept has been effected between the
Gould system and the Gulf, Colorado
& Santa Fe railway, whereby through
sleepers will be run over the latter
line, making close connection at Fort
Worth with the Missouri Pacific rail-
way for st. Louis and points north.
This is regarded here as the first step
of the Gould system to break with the
Southern Pacific, and is also consid-
cred victory for the Gulf, Colorado
& Santa Fe.
The first steamer of the Huntington
line since the break in the Southern
Pacific is expected to arrive here
Wednesday night, after which they
will ply regularly, one steamer leav-
ing New York every Wednesday with
freight for California and interior
points on the Southern Pacific sys-
tenn.
At regular meeting of the city
council this evening the mayor and
finance committee were instructed to
borrow $4,000 for ninety days, to de-
fray the current expenses of the city.

THE PROHIBITIONISTS.

PITTsBURG, July 21.--Arrangements
are about completed for the national
convention of the prohibition and
home protection party, which meets
here on Monday. Lafayette hall is
being Thoroughly overhauled, and,

reach here this evening, and will be

ton committee.

art, governor st. John, and DR.. r. H.
Mcdonald, are the most prominent
ones spoken of for the presidential
n 0minee, the latter being urged quite
strongly. 1t is said, if nominated, he
will head the campaign fund with a

if defeated, will contribute literally.

ST. LOUIS, July 21.-Ethan Hatch
cock has been appointed provisional
receiver for the st. Louis ore and
steel company, which was to-day at
tached by the Laflin-Rand powder
company. 1t is asserted that the as
sets are more than able to meet the
liabilities, and that time is the only
element needed by the company to re-
allze and resume. st. Louis ore and
steel company has capital of $5,000,-
600, and bonded debt of $2,6O0O0O.
The unsecured Indebtedness is IN
known, but is said to be not large.
The following statement was made
tonight by Ethan Allen Hitchcock,
receiver: "The immediate occasion
of the receivership was the failure of
Messrs. Cherrie s. Co., of Chicago, on
the Sd of July, when they made an
assignment, thus tying up directly
and Indirectly about $4,000 of this
company's funds. which is large
amount in times like these when bank
ing facilities are necessarily restricted
to the pressing necessities of their
customers, and when, Tor some reason,
it is almost impossible to make sales or
collections. Under the circumstances
the receivership became inevitable.
Messrs. Cherry & Co. claim to have
assets largely in excess of their liza
bilities, but it will of course take
time to convert them and make set
tlement Including the protest
ed acceptance Of Cherrie
& Co., for which the ore
and steel company is now responsible,
the liabilities of the latter, exclusive
of bonded Indebtedness, will amount
to about 100000. with assets suffi-
Gent to pay the same in full as soon
as they can be realized upon, and pro-
vided hostile action is not maintained
by interested parties. The company's
Indebtedness to several local and other
banks, aggregate about 100000, and
is amply secured.

About Observation-Disclosures.

WASHINGTON, July 19.-The Sec
rotary of state to-day addressed a let
ter to the secretary of the treasury IN
regard to the cholera question. of
which the following is copy: On
the 10Th of April last, / had the honor
to inform you that method for the
disinfection of rags had been agreed
upon by the health authorities OF New
York, New Haven and Boston, and
that an inspector had been appointed
who was to be under the consul-gen-
eral at Cairo, who was also to authen-
ticate the certificate of inspec-
ton. Congress having failed to
provide for a cOnSul-general
at Cairo, such certificates can't,
for the present, be furnished. The
consul.general was officially charged
with the duty of seeing that the rags
were disinfected, and his Office no
longer exists. Want of satisfactory
evidence of the effect of disinfection
makes it necessary to abandon, for
the present, the plan agreed upon.
1 have, therefore, revoked the appoint
ment of Inspector Mentally, and any
others designated as inspectors.
Acting on this information, Secretary
Folger to-day issued instructions to
collectors of customs, and other per-
sons interested, to prevent, until fur
ther orders, the unloading of rags
from foreign infected ports, and rags
which are suspected, on good grounds,
of being infected, coming from any
foreign port.
The surgeon general of the marine
hospital service has telegraphed the
health authorities at New Orleans
that the secretary of the treasury has
directed vessels of the revenue marine
service to patrol the coast of the Uni
ted States, including the gulf coast,
as a precautionary measure against
cholera.
1t is expected the president will
issue an executive order calling at
tention to the necessity for more
stringent precautions against the in
PRODUCTION of cholera, and urging the
greatest vigilance on the part of
agents of the government, both at
home and abroad. Quarantine will
probably be established against Can
ada and also against Mexico, in which
latter place there is reported to be an
epidemic of yellow fever. The sept
demic fund.-" of which there is an IN
expended balance of about $4,000,
will be utilized by the authoriti for
these purposes. The administra-
ton has determined to make
every possible effort to pre-
vent the introduction of contagion. |

Threatening Signs.

That there is silent but wild espread
determination in Texas to beat, if
possible, the denomination of Gov
ernor Ireland, none can now doubt.
The move is of vast proportions and
its work is being silently done because
as yet no head has been given to it,
and for wise and sufficient reasons.
Bit there will be name given to the
Houston convention which will carry
with it the respect of every true man
in the party, and of every patriotic
voter in the state. So far, the nomi-
mating campaign has gone to Ireland
by default. No chief has hitherto en-
tered the field to organize formally
the opposition, and the people had
reached the conclusion that
there would be No such

A TEMPERANCE TONIC.

New YORK, July 21.-The national
tt mp erance society has addressed to
the independent republican confer
ence, to be held in this city tomorrow,
the following:
To the Independent Republican Conference:
The national temperance society re-
spectfully and earnestly asks that in
your deliberations you take cognizance
of alcoholic liquor traffic as an issue of
great magnitude involving many
American homes, enormous taxation,
and a wasteful expenditure yearly of
100000, 900, but which was ignored
by the late national republican con-
vention; that you will not endorse the
saloon plank adopted in the platform
of the recent democratic convention
which says "We oppose sumpluary
laws, which vex the citizen and inter-
fere with individual liberty" Fur
thermore, that you will declare in
favor of popular control of the liquor
traffic, ard recommend the submission
to the several states of an amendment
to the constitution of the United
States to prohibit the manufacture
and sale of intoxicating beverages.

THE CATTLEMEN'S CON.
VENTION.

| This First National Convention of Cattle
men to be held at st Louis.
The value of cattle in the Unit ed
States is estimated at over 1,OO0, OOO,OO
dollars, and the capital invested in
ing and care would be, at the least, as
much more. 1t is proposed to hold a
national convention, November 18th.
next, at st. Louis, Mo-, U. S. A, to
form a permanent organization for
the protection and advancement of
this great industry.
There are many questions-especial-
ly in the country west of the Missis-
sippi river, on the great plains

of cattle owners and ranchmen. The
use of public lands, national Iegisla-
ton concerning homesteads and
prescriptions, quarantine against dis
eased stock, cheaper railway freights,
improvement of breeds, ETC., etc., will
naturally fall within the scope of the
organization.
About three hundred delegates from
the country west of the Mississippi
will be present, and perhaps five to
ten thousand cattle men; and it is
thought the meeting will prove one
of the most interesting, and Important
ever held in this country. Some of the
most prominent business men of Saint
Louis have organized citizens exec
utive committee for the reception and
entertainment of the cattle men dur
ing the convention, andIhave arranged
an extensive and elaborate pro-
gramme covering the five days that |
the visitors are expected to be in the /
city.
The programme embraces an ad-
dress of welcome by the governor of |
Missouri and the mayor of st. Louis,
and speeches by other prominent men,
and will also include grand banquet,
review, steamboat excursion,
grand, old fashioned barbecue and pic
mic, besides theatrical, musical and
other entertainments, to include a
visit to the stock yards, parks and
)ther places of interest in and about
he city. The COMMITTEES will also
present to each visitor attending the
a handsome souvenir
medal. with the compliments of the
.itv of st. Louis, in honor of the First
National Cattlemen's convention.
The railroad and transportation
committee will make satisfactory ar
with railroad and steam
hin companies for the transportation
f those attending the cfnrentIol.
We desire to extend a cOrGis1! and
ressing invitation to All countries
the world that are inter- :,
5ted in cattle growing, to send a dele !
alton to this grand meeting. Live =
