Scandal i'm High Life.
New YORK, Dec. 5.-Reliable informa-
ton has been received by George Z. Simp-
son, the Broadway banker, of the runaway
marriage Of Miss Mary E. Watson, Of
Washington, D. c., and William Paxton,
q patent Office lawyer, in that city. Miss
| Willard was to be married to Frank Simp-
son, of Kansas City, the son OF the banker.
| The wedding was to have been on a grand
| scale. About 1000 invitations having
| been issued for the reception. The tros-
seau was purchased in Europe, and elabor-
| ate jewelry in this city. Miss Wizards
father is on his way across the ocean.
| George E. Simpson. when spoken 20 by
the Mail & Express reporter, said: 81 re-
| ceived telegram from the young lady's
mother, stating hat Miss Mary had been
| married yesterday morning without the
knowledge of any member OF the family.
| Miss Willard and my son were acquainted
| for three years. There had been no init
| nation ON her part hat she desired to
break the engagement. 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 en-
| gagements she expressed a strong deyo-
ton to ny son. She had been at my house,
| and an affectionate intimacy appeared
to exist between my daughter and Miss
Willard, who seemed TO be a most exem-
| plary young lady. My son takes the mat
ter p~hilosophically and considers it far
| better that he should have found out her
| want Of affection for him now than at q
| later stage in life. At present he is in
Orange, N. j.. but will soon return to
Kansas City.
Cleveland and The Actors.
New YORK. Dec. 5.-The performance
for the benefit of the Actors Fund in the
Academy of Music was one of the most sue
cessful affairs which ever occurred in New
York. Much of the eclat belonging to it
was OF course due to the presence of Gov.
Cleveland, who, on this occasion, attended
& public entertainment for the first time
| since his election to the Presidency. The
vast auditorium was packed. Hundreds of
| persons entered the lobby only to be able
| TO get within six feet Of the inner doors.
| Every theatrical person of eminence in
town secured a box. President elect
Cleveland had a cordial welcome at every
| station between Albany and New York.
The President Of the Actors Association
and Mayor elect Grace and a great throng
Of people received Cleveland at the
| depot. His welcome in the Academy
was of the widest kind. The President
elect expressed a wish to meet the artists
| engaged in the several performances. Joe
| Jefferson, however, had left for Philadel-
| phia, and Irving and Terry had gone to
| their hotel. The committeeman drove in
hot haste to the Brevoort House and
| quickly returned with Irving, who was
presented to the P~resident-elect and warm
ly grasped by both hands. Cleveland ex-
pressed his regret at not meeting Terry
and Jefferson. He returned to Albany at
10 O'Clock. The police guarded Cleve-
lands box during his stay at the Academy,
preventing the entry of either politicians
or interviewers.
Fearful Explosion.
BosToS, Dec. ga fearful explosion Of
dynamite and gunpowder occurred at the
house of Stephen Young in STAFFORD, New
Hampshire. Eight persons we're injured.
Four will die. Mr.. Young was having q
we'll dug. His nephew George s.. Young
Of Lowell was showing how the dynamite
charges should be used, when one ex-
ploded. The conclusion also exploded
the remainder Of the cartridges and two
kegs of powder. The injured are Stephen
Young, q man named Berry, and one man
named Foss, q daughter of Mr.. Young.
Miss Sadie Greenfield of Rochester and
two others, whose names are not ascer.
tanned. Young's daughter and Berry are
dying. Some Of the others are very seri-
ously injured. The house and contents
were burned to the ground.
LATER Later particulars from Straf-
ford show that Stephen Young. in whose
house the explosion previously reported,
occurred, had a party last night. There
was dynamite for blasting purposes on the
shelf. One of the party. to scare the rest,
fired q revolver and the jar caused the ex-
plosion OF the dynamite. The house was
blown TO atoms and burned up. One per-
son, a Frenchman employed by Young,
was killed outright. Several were wound
ed. Bonds TO the amount of 5000 and
an amount Of railroad stocks were des-
troyed. Miss Sadie Greenfield Of Rocher-
ter. was blown through a window and had
her head cut open. Several Of those in
jured will probably die.
About Pig Iron.
PrTTsBURo, Dec. 5.-A project to re-
strict the production Of pig iron by bank
ing the furnaces for a month or more has
been allowed to die quietly. Instead OF
further restriction. the reports received at
the Office of the Pig Iron Association, OF
this city, are to the effect that q number Of
furnaces will blow in during the next
month. In view Of complaints Of dull
trade and low prices, the resumption OF
the works seems psradoxical, but it il
stated that the stock on hand ia much
lighter now than at any time previous for
years, and that, while there ia no prospect
in the immediate future for better prices,
there is room for more iron han Is piled
in the yards at present.
