manner that it was almost sure 10 make
trouble for the first train that should come

before the obstruction was discovered, so
that the time when the timber was put on
the track is quite closely determined. \
resident Of the vicinity, standing at one end
of the bridge heard some one working near
the other end, then heard footsteps crossing
the bridge and recognized Mike As the per-

THE DEMOCRATIC JUBILEE. - Saturday
evening the Democracy of this city cele-
brated the election of Grovcr Cleveland to
the Presidency of the United States. Ac-
cording to previous agreement, they were
assisted by large number of the Blaine
Hat Brigade. The Cleveland and Hendricks
Fire Brigade Glascock Invincibles and
Young Mems Democratic Club turned out
in good numbers in their snowy uniforms,
and paraded the principal streets with
torches and bands of music. No trans
parencies Of any kind were permitted in
line, there was an absence of any growing
over their defeated friends, and everything
passed off tremendously. Tom Scott, who
had wagered with Charles Parsons, paid his
bet by riding in the procession ON Chan
dler's mule He looked well, and was
greeted on every hand by cheers from his
Republican friends Win. J. Davis, Chair
man of the Republican County Central
Committee, rode in a coupe with Il. d.
Stephens, Chairman OF the Democratic
Committee. This was also to pay bet
wagered and lost. Mr.. Davis, purposely
delayed a contemplated trip to the Bay in
order to redeem his promise. The process
sion, at least a considerable portion OF it,
did not disband until after midnight They
marched, with the band, TO many of the
private residences of prominent citizens,
both Democrats and Republicans, and sere-
naded them. Among those SO honored
can be mentioned Governor Stoneman,
Mayor Brown, Secretary Of State Thomp-
son, Brainard f. Smith, G. w. Carey, G.
W. Chesley and K. Oppenheim.

The matter was reportz ed to the home government, and Earl New castle, a personal friend of both Mir.

Happiness.
 From the Boston Courier
 A correspondent writes 8 long letter in reply to paragraph that appeared some time ago concerning the widow of Charles Sum- ner In that paragraph it was stated that there was always mystery about the divorce that Mrs. Mason obtained from MT. Sumner. This correspondent declares there was no mystery about it to those who knew both parties to the marriage, and, among other things, says:
 s'Mrs. Mason had money and beauty, but was not an intellectual woman, and did not belong to the circle of Boston society to which Mir. Sumner had the entree. She was spoken of as a frivilous, fashionable, society loving woman, ambitious of the position in Washington society which marriage with Charles Summer would give her. But she had the innocent, winning ways which many pretty women, when they have an object in view, exercise, and with them she accom- plished her object and became Mrs. Sumner. She had married for Washington, and intend ed to enjoy it, and when Mr. Sumner, who did not dance, would mildly suggest that it was late that he had important dnties for the next day in the Senate and would like to go home to rest, she would tell him to go and she would come when she had danced her list down. In Mr. Summers eyes this was to in decorous for encurance, and, too, with the prestige his own endowments had given him in politics and literature, he naturally sup posed there was an attraction about him superior to balls and society beaus. His self l esteem was wounded and his sense of pro priety shocked, ,and particularly so when Mrs f Sumner chose cavalier who could attend her In society.
 ''By the advice of friends MT. Sumner en- l duren his wife's whim for gayety, hoping one winters surfeit would be sufficient; but when scandal he sought redress from official quar- ters. The youth whom Mrs. Sumner had chosen for favorite was one of those young CT English sons who are attached to the Brit I ish Legation that the position may give them opportunities in society here which they
