PIEDMONT, w. Va, April 25. - Miss
Adams, of Elk Garden, yesterday visited
Rev. Henry knight, Of this place, and
asked il he had married her to George
Knieh some months ago. Rev. Mr..
knight claimed to know nothing whatever
about the marriage. George knight and
Miss Adams came to Piedmont several
months ago, and went to the county bridge
connecting Piedmont with Westernport, to
be married. 1t has long been the custom
for runaway couples to have the marriage
ceremony performed on this bridge, there
by making it unnecessary to procure a
license. The bridge being between Mary
land and West Virginia, neither State has
any jurisdiction there. Miss Adams is q
very young girl, and never questioned the
LEGALITY of the proceedings. when minis.
ter, purpoftibg % Us-nev 1fenfys knight,
made them man and wife, in the presence
OF several male witnesses, all friends Of
the groom and strangers to the bride.
They lived together as man and wife for
several weeks at this place, when the
groom claimed to have urgent business in
the West, which would probably detsin
him q few days. Not until month bad
passed without any tidings from her sup.
posed husband did vague presen timent
OF foul play dawn on her mind. She
has as vet been unable to obtain any clue
to the persons who perpetrated the out
rage.

some little interest was occasioned In
Council, last night, by the reading Of .
communication from Mayor Miller. It
went on to say he was handed contract
ready for his official signature, 10 which
the signature OF the party of the 6rst parr,
John Porter, of New Cumberland, hsd al.
ready been attached. 1t related to the
proposed improvement Of Sixteenth street
and was for 100000 brick blocks, at
s1s per thousand, or sls,0o0. The
estimate submitted to the Council
was for $1S.s25-and this was
considerably in excess of that sum. The
contract, he had been informed by Mr.. Frs
kline, was faulty, but in relation to this he
had received Q subsequent letter from the
Board of Public Works, asking the return
OF the contract for the correction Of the
clerical error committed in the copying.
he wanted to know Of Council whether he
was to sign contracts by order such as he
had received, without the use Of his judg-
ment and discretion.
This communication created some little
surprise, but without debate was referred

nation. Not over 6O0, 600 blocks are neses
ssry 10 The Sixteenth street improvement
and this contract is for million, while
sixteenth street Is not mentioned or re.
ferred to in the contract. Mr.. Porter Is the
man ufacturer OF the blocks. He could not
sfford 10 turn his entire force to the making
Of only half million brick, and partly on
this account the Board desired to contract
for a million, knowing they would be
needed for other improvements. Another
reason was that the river was liable to fall
and prevent navigation at any time, and
the inability TO obtain blocks would seri.
ously iDcommode the Board. The cost OF
the blocks for Sixteenth street would only
be 5000.
A tempest in q teapot had been stirred
up, the member said because the matter
was not understood. This explanation
mskes the whole affair perfectly clear, snd
the public will be satisfied with 1t.

The House then went into Committee of
the Whole, Cox, of New York. in the chair,
on the private calendar. Up to $50,
the time Of the committee, was
consumed in the consideration of
the bill for the relief of Myra Clark
Gaines. At that hour the committee rose
to enable Randall 10 submit q conference
report on special deficiency bill. He ex-
planned that the main point OF difference be-
tween the two houses was as to the Senate
amendment striking out the clause prohib-
itipg volunteer service in any departments
in advance Of appropriations. The confer
snce committee bad agreed upon acompro-
mise relating to cases of emergency involy-
ing life and property. The report was
sgreed TO and the Committee OF the Whole
resumed session. After further discussion
the Gaines bill was laid aside with fsyora-
bic recommendation.
Unfinished business coming over from
last Friday was the bill relieving certain
