farmers of Wisconsin under the wheat Rising
system with that they now enjoy in the bust

ton to grain growing is that profits are nearly,
if not entirely, consumed in shipping and plac-

Inc WIDOW aenZel Finds Tall, Sun
burnt Man Sitting in her ParIOr.
Tne Widow Henzel, says the New York
Sun of the oath inst, lives in a cottage
set amid fruit trees and Towering shrubs
on the BULBS Ferry road in North Bergen,
n. She is well advanced in years, and
is reputed to be we'll to do. Since her
husbands death last year she has led
very secluded life. She is a regular at
tendant at church, however, and her slen-
der, STOPPING figure, her pleasant face and
long white hair are familiar to every per-
son in the village. Her neighbors say she
has spent her time in charitable work and
in praying for her son, who went away
from home four years ago because his
father would not let him marry Miss
Annie Koch. Farmer Henzel thought she
was not rich enough to be his sons wife,
The widow startled her neighbors yes
terday by announcing that her son had
returned, and that she was to give party
in honor of the event.
"There is JOhn," she said, pointing to
stalwart young man who sat in the neat
parlOr of the cottage, blushing at his
mothers uncOncealed admiration. "There
he sits. In 1880 he wanted to marry Annie
Koch, the prettiest girl III this town, but
my poor dear husband objected, and so
John ran away. Then my husband died
year ago. l prayed for John to come
back. While l was busy about the house
on Wednesday my hired girl came and
said there was a man in the parlOr who
wanted to see me. l went down and
found a tall man with a sunburned skin
sitting there.
"'Wellp | said.
"'DOn't you know meY said he, and
then | gave glance at him and saw it
was john"
Young Mr.. Henzel, who had been out
West, made little fortune, but lost il,
aud was for time a stage driver on the
plains. He now inherits his fathers pro-
perty, and he has discovered that his for
mer sweetheart is still alive and unmar-
RED and living in Brooklyn.

A CORPSE AT THE TILLER.


Fisherman Chappell Dies of Heart Dis
ease while Sailing Down the Thames.
As the 8 o'clock train from New Lon
don was passing Thamesville this morn
ing, says a Norwich, Conn.,, special of
the 23d inst, the passengers noticed
large fishing boat, with all sails set, beat
ing aimlessly about in the river. There was
no sign of life on board. The vessel con-
tinued drifting hither and thither, the
sails filling and bagging, until the wind
blew her, half an hour later, against the
wharf at Thamesville. Charles Wheeler,
of that place, peered into the open hold
and saw dead man reclining on the seat
aft. His hand tightly grasped the tiller,
and as his body lurched with the motion
of the waves it steered the craft. The
body was that of Charles ChappeIl, a fish
erman, 70 years~Old, of Mamacock, near
New London. He had been in Norwich
selling sea bass and porgies. and had set
sail down the river at 6 O'Clock this morn
ing. Death was caused by heart disease.

CAUGHT HIM ATLAsT.
A Groom Who Did Not Get Away


Miss Jellis Storm, says a Luray, Va,
special to the New York Times, pretty
girl of "a, and Rudolph Claycey, 20 years
old, boarded the Shenandoah Valley train
Wednesday morning, at Patterson. in Au-
gusta county. They were bound for this
place, to be married. Soon after the train
started the expectant groom began to
grow restless, and in a short time COM
municated to a gentleman on the train
the object of the trip, and said that he
had arrived at the conclusion that he did
not want to get married just at this time.
He asked with great solicitude how he
could get out of the scrape. He was adj
vised to board the sOuth-bOund train
when the two passed each other
at Marksyille, and to get out Of
reach of the lady. His adviser promised
to give the girl enough money to return
to her home. Claycey decided to act
upon the suggestion, and when the train
reached Marksyille, he quietly, and un-
observed by the girl, boarded the other
train, and the two were soon travelling in
opposite directions. When the girl dis
covered her loss, she left the train at the
next station, declining the use Of money.
She then started on q walk on the track
to overtake her fleeing lover. She reached
Patterson to-day, a distance of 80 miles.
having walked the distance in day and
a half, and found Claycey at a store in
which he was a clerk. What took place
is not known, but the two started soon
after for HagarstOwn, where they were
married late this evening. The young
mans parents were opposed to the match
on account of the inferior social position
of the girl, and the fact that she is older
than Claycey.

CONGRESS- WEEKS WORK.
A COUPLE OF DAYS FOR THE
WALLACE-MKIN CASE.

Mr.. Willis to Try and Get the River and
HarbOr Bill Up Next-Other Appro-
priatiOn Bills Also to be Pushed to the
Front
WASHINGTON, May 25.-To-morrow's
session of the House of Representatives
will probably be devoted to consideration
of the Wallace-McKinly contested election
case. A final vote is not expected before
Tuesday. AS soon as this shall have been
disposed of there will be another struggle
for precedence in behalf of sundry mea-
sures standing in the category of ''unfn-
ished business" and various long deferred
special orders which were enumerated in
last weeks forecast. Representative Will
lis intends, however, to call up the
river and harbor appropriation
bill whenever tie election contest
is out of the way, and Mr.. Randall saws
that he will ask the House to enter upon
consideration of the legislative, executive
and judicial appropriations bill as soon as
the river and harbOr bill is disposed of. 1t
is estimated that the latter will consume
about three days. Some members favor
limiting the general debate upon it to six
hours. 1t is possible that during the lat
ter part of the week the sundry civil and
fortification appropriation bills will be re-
ported to the House. There will then be
only one appropriation bill named in the
general deficiency bill to be prepared by
the committee. The remainder of the
thirteen annual appropriation bills, the
pension. Indian, naval and post office
have been passed by both House and SEN
ate, but the House having refused to con-
cur in numerous amendments made by
the Senate they were all referred to con-
ference committees and still await the
adjustment of the points in controversy.
More than one hundred amendments were
added by the Senate to the Indian appro-
priatiOn bill. Prominent members of the
House are of the opinion that the confer
ence committees VIII fail to agree on the
Indian, naval and post office bills, that
they will therefore be reported back to the
House and the Senate without conciIiatorv
recommendation, and that a long discus
sion of each bill will follow. The army,
District of Columbia and consular and
diplomatic appropriation bills are yet to
be considered by the Senate Committee on
Appropriations. Only two appropriation
bills, viz: the military academy and a9-
rIcultural, have been finally passed by
both Houses and become laws. Saturday
next. by special order of the House, has
been set apart fer consideration of bills
and resolutions reported from the Com
mlttee on Indian Affairs. The Senate is
likely to consume a week in the discus
sion OF the Utah bill, with a possibility
that 1t may lay that measure temporarily
aside If the Appropriation Committee re-
ports back one of three appropriation
bills now under consideration by its sub
committee.

sCHURz ON THE SITUATION.

The Strength of the Independent Re
pubIicans of Massachusetts, and New
York.
In regard to the Independent Republi-
can movement, says a New York special
of the 23d instant, the Hon. Carl Schurz
says: "This State Of New York, in all
probability, will be the settler of the cam
paign. There are 1900 school districts
in the State, and in each Of these districts
our returns show that several Republi-
cans will refuse to vote for either Arthur
or Blaine. That would be a sum total Of
vast consequence in a State most likely to
be closely contested battle ground. 1t
would be idle to count on placing New
York in the Republican column with
either of those candidates. a Demo-
cratic victory in the campaign will not
only mean the defeat of the present Or
ganization, called the Republican party,
but its utter disintegration.
"The sudden break among the Southern
delegates for Blaine is an alarming fea-
ture, in fact the most alarming so far in
the situation, for they will clearly hold
the balance Of power, and may give Blaine
an irresistible strength if they break soon
enough after finding it useless to stick to
Arthur. / presume the vote on the con-
testing delegations from Virginia will be
more or less a test vote, but not an abso-
lutte one, for the reason that anti-Blaine
men from New England might. On princi-
pie, vote to admit the regular Republican
organization, while they could not be at
all counted upon as votes for Blaine di-
rect.
''These Wall street troubles have all re-
suited, in the natural order Of things,
from wild and excessive speculation, and
the disaster has aroused the sensible COM
mercial spirit of the country against the
application of such principles in the rou-
tine of business life. This feeling will
naturally be reflected in political senti-
ment when it comes time to select the
executive head for the government. l
