Secured From Her Recreant Lover.
 SALEM, Mass, Dec. 15.-Miss Maria s. Raddin, of saugus, was to-day awarded $4,- GOO damages by the Superior court jury in suit for breach of promise against Orrin G. Currier of Boston, bachelor of fifty. Miss Raddin claimed that they first met in 1881 at Martha's Vineyard and took long walks to- gether and she came to look upon him as lover. They became engaged, but there were many postponements of the marriage. In July, 1883, Currier left her. The defen- dant said in his testimony that he disliked the plaintiff; she talked about her brothers wife and kept that up evening after evening. She gossiped all the time and was repulsive to him. Miss Raddin said that she had made two rugs, two dozen jellies and three suits of clothing in anticipation of the marriage. Currier is superintendent of the Sunday school of the Bremfeld street church.

HE NEVER MEANT VANCE,
General Sherman Talks About the
 Davis Affair.

ST LOUIS, Dec. 15-General Sherman was to-day interviewed in regard to Senator Vance's letter published to-day. In answer to question to the publication of his re- ply he briefly said ttI have not taken any steps as yet to give it out.''
 ''Is Senator Vance connected with the cor respondence you have referred to p "No."
 "Have you ever said anything calculated to make reply from Senator Vance neces- sary g'' 'FNot that I can see.''
 A third party here interjected the inquiry as to the way in which the reply will be made "I shall answer it as l d-n please, as the world would say," replied the general with broad smile. ''I understand well enough that the newspapers working this matter for all the news in it and cannot say blame them; but at the same time they have, as in other cases, made a mountain of it. MT. Davis has not written a line to me-
 'tHe has published an open letter, hasn't he?" ffWell, that isn't to me. If you want to know anything about that you would do bet ter to call on the editor who published it.' Subsequently when alone with the reporter General Sherman more fully explained his position, speaking follows: 'I shall an swer these denials, but in the way choose. I shall not engage in q newspaper contro- versy, as that would be beneath me-"
 ''When will you make your final rep1y?'' ''When the newspaper agitation has quieted down." He said he should answer it through the War department and the letter he has based his statement upon has not been out of the possession of the military since it passed out of the hands of the owner four years ago. Nobody has any idea that this letter is in existence, but it's contents will be made known in due time.
