A Castle Garden Comedy.
THE COMPLICATION Caused BY PRETTY
HUNGARIAN GIRLS CONDUCT.
Now York Herald

Marie MeXsa was two years ago peasant
in village in Hungary. Che was a pretty
girl, was the belle Of the place, and had
several sutors for her hand. Johan Match
and Johan Stowan, two friends, were per-
tinacIous rivals for pretty Marie's aft'ec-
tions. She smiled on Match, and married
him about year ago; whereupon Stowan
emigrated to America. Not long after the
young husband, finding it hard work to
make living In his native place, also de-
cded to seek Il home in the New World.
He left bis bride and went 10 Bremen to
take steamer for New York. intending to
send for his wife when he could afford to
provide for her.
Marie, il appears, grew tired OF grass
widowhood, and determined few months
ago to come to America also. She had mo-
ney enough TO take her only TO Bremen.
When she reached that port she made the
acquaintance Of Michel IIudOk, well-to-
do Hungarian, who lives in Strator, H.,
and had been on visit to his relatives in
the old country. IIudok was desperately
snIitten with Marie. and wanted to marry
her at once. The willy Marie, who wanted
to cross the sea. failed to fell him that she
had husband living. but said she would
marry IIudok in New York il he would
pay her passage over. lIudok iOyiully
bought tickets for himself and his ciiarmer.
and the pair landed ut Castle Garden on
Monday last from the German steamer
Saler.
Hudok reminded Marie OF her promise
to be his, but the lady coqucttishly de-
clared that he must first send for her
" brother" Johan >towan, at Reno. New.
TO witness the marriage ceremony. Stowan
is the rejected lover. who had omigrated.
1t appears that the false Marie had been in
correspondence with him, and that she
wanted to elude both her actual husband
and her wounld-be husband and return TO
the arms OF the old love. FIudok, suspect
ing nothing, telegraphed to the "brother"
and agreed to wait his arrival. Meantime,
through some Slavic passengers on the Salier
Match, the real husband. had, by strange
happening, heard Of his Wife's arrival.
although be was living away OFT in Read

and arrived here yesterday. There was
an exceedingly lively scene in Castle Gar
den yesterday when the mar and wife and
IIudOk met. The services OF Policeman

to be called in TO quell the disturbance.
The two men were greatly excited, bat
the woman laughed at them both. The
matter was finally settled by Mach carry

EXPLORING THE NINE FOR BODIES.

by teleRrdDil 10 the Dlslatcn.I
DENVER, Coll, January ga special to
the Tribune saws that the exploring party
has almost reached Chamber No. . in the
mine OF The Colorado Coal and Iron Com
pany, in which an explosion occurred yes
terday. One body has been discovered
with the skull fractured and the whole
body terribly bruised and blackened by
gas. The passage-ways are so blockaded
that progress is very slow. Everything
possible is being done to reach the bodies
as speedily as possible. All hope Of find
ing any OF the buried miners alive has
been abandoned. Threats were made last
night against Superintendent Robinson
and Mine-BOss Gibson, principally against
the latter, and serious trouble is feared
Robinson is at the NINE experimenting
the work of searching for the bodies. No
special fears are entertained for his safety,
but 4 strong guard has been placed about
the residence OF Gibson to prevent violence
to him. Threats do not come from the
men engaged at the mine, but from some
who have been discharged, aId who take
this opportunity to make trouble. The
scene at the mine is most pitiul one.
The wives and children Of the buried men
still hover around the entrance OF the
mine, and their lamentations add to the
distressing scene.
FIFTEEN BODIES FOUND.
DENVER, January 2j.--lt is only possible
to get very meagre reports from the scene
OF the Crested Butte disaster. Through
almost superhuman efforts rescuing party
this morning reached one OF the chambers
in the mine where the men were at work
at the time Of the explosion. There fiji
teen dead bodies were found, but have not
been taken out, and their names have not
been learned. The gas is a source Of im-
minent danger to the rescuers, who are
forced TO proceed most cautiously.
