MAKING RAPID PROGRESS
The Arran genents Of the United
States Electric Lighting Company.

Mr.. Samuel Norment of the United
States Electric Lighting Company was
seen by CRITIC reporter this morning
and asked what arrangements had been
made to re-establish their works and
furnish light. ave have made phenome-
nal progress" was the reply, ave were
the heaviest losers in the fire, but not
withstanding our reverses we expect to
furnish light to our patrons tonight.
This is made possible by the courtesy of
our neighbors, the Brush-Swan Company"
In reply to query from the reporter as
to where they would locate when they re-
build their works, he said that point had
not yet been decided. owe have deter
mined to go right ahead A committee
has visited New York and secured vaua-
bic assistance in aid of starting operations,
and by extraordinary effort only one week
was allowed to pass from the time our
works were burned out until the lamps
will be lighted.
"All the necessary arrangements have
been perfected for furnishing to our citi-
zens the most improved system of arc and
incandescent lighting on an enlarged scale,
and we shall in day or two be in full
blast. We are determined to spare no
labor or expense to give to the citizens a
beautiful light"

BETRAYEn AND ROBBED.
A Pullman Car Conductor Msrries n
Governess and Deserts Her.

A bigamous Pullman car conductor of
this city, who has been dodging the police
authorities of the whole country, has just
been located by the detectives of this city
in the United States army at st. Louis.
His name is William Allen, and in May
last he lived with his wife and five chill
dren at 1887 Four-and-a-half street south
west, and ran on the Baltimore Il Potomac
Road between this city and Charlottes-
vile, Va. In the early part of May, while
running on the road he met on his train
handsome and prepossessing young Ger
man governess named Susie Minnlkie OF
New York, who had only been i'll the
country a short time
lie made the girl believe that he was n
man of wealth and leisure and had pa
latial country residence in Virginia, with
numerous horses and carriages. lie made
love to her, and being a good-looking fell
low, the Young lady was Immediately
smitten. lie met her again on the train
coming back to this city, on her way to
New York. When she arrived in this city
he took her to the Mount Vernon House
and they stopped over night. She went to
New York the next day, and he accompa-
MED her and staid two weeks and was mar
rIed during that time. He qnieted the APP
prehenson of his wife by telling her that
he was transferred to another line.
The marriage was followed by bridal
tour, and he indiscreetly came to this city
and again stopped at the Mt. Vernon
House over one night. The next morning
he said he wanted TO get shaved and didn't
have any small change. She gave him
her pocketbook containing $50. He never
returned. The ladies' gold watch and
diamond rings were missed soon after he
left. When the young wife realized that
she had been betrayed and abandoned
she went into convulsions, and the authori
ties were notified.
Detectives Raft and Block found her in
a great state of excitement, and when hel
nerves were in condition to bear tn.
ordeal, they told her that her husband had
wife and five children in this city. She
left for New York, and nothing has been
heard of her since. She was highly re-
spectacle and accomplished young lady
The detectives located the gay Lothario in
Baltimore, but nothing could be done by
the authorities in this city or Baltimore
because the otiense of bigamy was com
mitted in New York. He has now beer
located in the barracks at st. Louis, and
the New York authorities have beer
notified. The police here are doing all il
their power to have him punished.

The Death of p. IL. watson.

Mr. Peter III. Watson, whose name had
been prominently brought before the pub
lie of late in connection with the contro-
versy involving Senator Mcpherson of
New Jersey, died in New York on Wennes-

The Virginias have gained three games
on the Nationals the past week. The Ian
casters are now third and the Trenions
fourth.
Barr, Trott ct al. were too much for
the Nationals yesterday, and laid them
ont in great style.
The game to-day between the Lancasters
and Nationals promises to be very inter
esting one The former are now third in
the race, only nine games behind the home
team. During the recent trip of the Ma

pitcher put in against them. 1t remains
to be seen whether they will treat Barr
the same way.

Ferdinand Ward Again In Court.

Ferdinand Ward was brought into
court of oyer and terminer last !Satur-
day morning by the warden of Ludlow
street Jail, where he was joined by his
counsel, General B. +. Tracy and w.
Bourke Cochran. Shortly after II
O'Clock District Attorney MARITIME, ad-
dressing Judge Barrett, said Gin the
case of Ferdinand Ward the people
have been somewhat surprised, and
find that by reason of the action of
another tribunal (the arrest of Warner)
it may be that an important witness
might be put in a position to disqualify
HIM. In view of this and for other
reasons we cannot proceed with the
case set down for trial this morning.
There are other indictments, however,
than this one for grand larceny, upon
which they are prepared to try the de-
PENDANT, and | ask leave to move one
of these other indictments. Ward S
counsel objected to this procedure, but
the court sustained the district attorney
and later in the day Ward was arraigned
on an indictment charging him with
having fraudulently obtained ST., 800
by means of an overccrtifed check on
the Marine Bank. Ward deposited a
check for that amount drawn on the
First National Bank, where he had lit
tie or no money. He then drew against
this worthless check, having received
certified document from the Marine
Bank. His lawyers pleaded not guilty,
and the case went over until Thursday
morning.

the suit of Eugene Belt for divorce from
Mrs, Belt in the Circuit Court of Balti
more city and granted divorce mensa
ct thoro to Mrs Belt from Mr.. Belt. BY
agreement, instead Of an annual payment
of alim"ny, Mr., Belt will pay Mrs. Belt
the sum of forty thousands dollars. The
details of the suit were published when
the bill for an absolute divorce was filed
by Mr.. Belt. He became acquainted
with the lads at a watering place and
they were married soon after. Several
months the later, during Il visit to New
Orleans, Mr.. Belt suddenly left his wife
and returned to Baltimore, where he in
stItuted the suit for divorce. A great
deal of testimony wis taken by commits

Of the CASE detectives were employed by
both sides and when Mrs. Belts evidence
was taken by number of witnesses who
had testified against her confessed that
they had given false evidence. 1t was
on the return of the testimony to the
court that the case came before Judge
Fisher and the counter bill of Mrs. Belt
for divorce from bed and board was sus-
taued.

IT is pity that Editor Stead of the
PaX-I Mall Gazette took the method
he did to secure evidence for his state
ments of the immoral traffic among
young women in London. The de
crees OF English justice have indicted
him for the committal of outrages upon
girl he caused to be abducted that he
might prove the truth of his reports
Stead's motives throughout the entire
affair were no doubt high and sincere,
he simply chose an unwise course in
the pursuit of his object and will have
to suffer the consequences. He still
has the earnest sympathies of humanity
in the efforts e made to bring Lon
don's vice and pollution to bay, and il
is hoped his experience will teach him
better methods for the persual of his
task of reform.

and they, with the creatures to whom
they are applied, are unwelcome nno-
vators on the quiet and peaceful con-
duct of the American government and
its two great political parties. These
same two great political parties and
these same two dangerous sounding
words-Bossism and Hybridsm-are
the last things in the world that should
be closely and warmly related. Ifthere
isn't any policy in this statement We
beg our readers TO glance at the pres
ent condition of municipal politics If
Baltimore. BoSsism and Hybridism
have conquered the weak kneed In that
city, and are on the eve of effecting a
bitter ruin, unless fate produces some
thing powerful to combat and conquer
them. And it is the men who have
enlisted under the banners of those two
dangerous sounding words who have
placed the politics of Cecil county in
their present topsy turvey condition.
Bossism is not necessary adjunct to
the present period of American history,
nor is Hybridism at all required in the
peaceful and successful proceedings OF
our local campaigns and election con-
tests. 1t was sad mistake the rhctor-
ician made when he brought the inno-
cent little ''ism" to base wedlock with
the Boss and Hybrid. There were
enough mean and low conditions of i'm
purity in politics ere they came to
swell the list, and the advent of the
Boss and Hybrid was not made in
shiny rainments, their entire existence
has not been clothed in any pure or
beautiful grab, and their sudden final
disappearance will not be an occasion
for magnificent costuming. Science
furnishes methods for removing all
stains TO flesh or garments that may by
accident be met with, and there is a
higher science of human law and jus
tice that will presently furnish methods
for the removal of the Boss and Hybrid
ism stains from the robes of politics
and government.
