The Story of a Mormon wife.

AuC oIOA vi q AAOA AllOn WIIG.
A woman who'visIted Salt Lake CITY
writes to the Cincinnati Commercial.
Shall / tell you the story Of one.n
continued my friend, (which unhau.
PLY is repeated in hundreds of cases.
| went into q home one day and
found there a young woman, who in
health must have been beautiful, but
upon whom consumption had almost
finished its fatal work. Little bylittle
she told me her sad story: My mother
and I lived in London, and one day
we heard a Mormon tell about Utah
what a beautiful country it was, espe.
cially for poor people. We thought il
would be almost like heaven for us.
as we hadtO work SO hard for Just the
little we needed; so we were easily per
suaded to join a company coming out
here. On ship board my mothertook
sick and died, and was almost beside
myself with grief hardly knew what
TODD. my fare was paid to Salt Lake
City beside. Ihad no M to 90 back
to, if | could have gone. All / remem-
Der about the Journey was, that it was
SO long that it seemed as if the whole
world must be between us and Eng
land. A day or two after / got here.
one of the men who had brought us
out came to me and said: maria.
we have had a revelation about you.
You are too young and pretty to 90
to work; you must get married"
"But | don't want to be married, |
want to take care of myself" "But
you must, Maria; people must obey
revelations. There is a man here who
wants you; he is we'll off and will treat
you like a ledy. l hardly know my
self how it all happened. / was yet so
stupid with grief that | didn't much
care what became OF me, but / only
know | stood up the next day beside
a man old enough to have been my
father, and becameh his wife. Hehelped
me to q seat beside him in his wagon,
and we came out here to this ranch;
he talked so kindly to me on the way
j thought that maybe I was not going
to be very unhappy after a bit. When
we got here two elderly women
came in and both looked at me
i'll a most disagreeable manner,
and my husband introduced them
to me as his wives. "But i
thought l was your wife," | said. $50
you are" ne answered, "these are my
first and second wives, and you are
my third; our religion bids US have as
many as We can support" Can you
picture toyourself the horrible anguish
and sense of utter desolation that
came over me? But Isaid, ''why
did you endure it? Why didn't you
run away" where should / have
run to? There are plenty to help us
into this condition, but not one hand
is put forth to help us out. / just sat
down to die. A long time ago, when
lived in London, heard preach
ing to some people in the street-peo-
pie SO poor as we did not 90 to church.
/ stopped q bit and listened. Iremem-
Der he talked about God as a good
Shepherd, and do you know, as | lie
here and watch the sheep come in,
often think If God is a good Shepherd,
/ must have strayed away and got
lost somehow 1t was my great hap
piness to lead this poor soul to this
tender Shepherd, and she died happy,
with the thought OF going to Him."

The Cast Iron Man.

An appointment has Just beenmade
in Washington which, for lack OF any
thing mOreimpOrtant causes consider
able comment, SAYS a Pittsburg DIS
patch correspondent. John {. Collins,
known as the "CaSt Iron Man" was
sworn in as labOrer at the Geological
survey, and assigned to run the eIeva-
tor. Collins was formerly an English
prize fighter. and for several years past
has kept a sort Ofprivategymnaslum,
the principal feature of which was a
scientific boxing school. He has given
a great many lessons i'll the manly art
to prominent public men OF the day.
Senator John 4. Logan is one o fthOse
who formed Collins aristOcratic
classes. When Logan was in bad
health he began taking a series OF
lessons in boxing of Collins, and inthe
course of time became very proficient
with the gloves.
Collins is a Erawny Englishman,
weighing about $50 pounds, allmuscle
and activity, and is termed the cast
iron man, from his ability to take
punishment. 1t is related how Logan
gradually improved under his tutors
instructions, until the Illinois states
man one afternoon knocked out" the
cast iron man in three rounds, much
to the latter's establishment.
Oneday, while Grant was President,
a party ofyoung. bloods went to see
Collins, under the escort of Col. Fred
Grant. After taking a turn at the
rings, dumbbells aud horizontal bars,
one of the party, a well made young
| Englishmen, struck the fancy of the
cast ircn man, who induced him to
put on the gloves.
81 won't hurt you," said Collins.
don't be afraid"
The young Englishman smiled and
took his guard. In a few passes ht
showed that he was not wholly ignor,
ant of the rules of the ring, and had
some knowledge of the art. This fred
Collins, who saw an opportunity tc
show off his skill before Col. Grant
Now, Collins is very clever at the dodge
game, audit takes q good man to hit
him, even without putting up hi:
hands.
Don't be afraid" said he to the
young Englishman; chit me, KNOCK
me down, and he lodged several live
ly passes in the most scientific style
Suddenly the young man reached out
his left duke and lifted the cast iror
man clear off his feet.
Chats very, very clever" STAN
mered Collins picking himself up our
of the sawdust, and feeling of his jaw
doabtfuIly. you are real English
You know. Didn't you think yol
could do it. Try it again"
The party then formed a ring ant
declared hat the game should pro
coed according to the regular priz'
ring rules. Don't you be afraid t,
hit me-" said the young Englishman
as he took his guard. LET us hay,
it up and up now, in two rounds Al
it they went, and the result was tina
the young man knocked the cast irol
man out in three well contested rounds
who are you, anyhow" demanded
the breathless prize fighter. II hav
fought some fights, and had q goo'
many matches, but you are the mos
scientific sparrer I've met yet. Yol
are a professional"
"My name is S~artoris," said tin
young Englishman, laughing. "Tr

Another State Convention Probably Neces-
sary.
CuLUNBUS, o. August 1.-The death OF
judge Okey, Of the Supreme Bench, will
probably necessitste another Republican
State Convention beiDg called. At present
Judge J. E. Lowery, chairman Of the State
Central Committee, is travelling over the
State for the purpose Of personally obtaining
the sentim EMS OF the members on the suo-
iect oi filing the vacancy. II ID learned
reliablr Il .. some of the members OF
the Committee do no: feel like assuming
the responsibility of Raining Judge OkeTs
successor. They believe that t6e duty OF
selecting candidate for such an important
Office ss the Supreme Court Of Ohio should
be in the hands Of body more representa-
tive in charscte. than the Central Commit
tee. Consequently il seems that there will
be another convention The plsn Is 10 have
The respective county committees sslect
delegates. the rates bein ~ least one-halt less

Smith OF Pickswsy; J. S Brazse, of Fair
field; Judge Dickman Of Cuyahoga; Judge
John J. DOYLE of Lucas, and W. F. Knowles
of Washington. As the Supreme Court has

dee med it unnecessary to appoint any one

THE 3. & o. STRIKE.

Brakemen on the W. & P. Division Still Be-
fuse to Take Out DoubIe-Headers.
PIrrsBURG, August THE stand made
by the freight brakemen on the Wheeling
division of the B. & o. R. r. at Glenwood,
against the operation of dOublehesder
trains is attracting considerable atten-
ton. About forty-fve men are
affected by the matter. This morning Su.
perintendent Harris had conference with
a number of men regarding the cause Of
the dissension. No definite action was
taken. The men seemed determined on
having single engine trains. Mr.. Harris re-
ported their action 10 General Manager
Durham, who arrived in the city this morn
ing. :,
The company did not send any double
header freight trains out to-day. The local
freight with one engine left the yards at
Glenwood unmolested. Superintendent
Harris returned from the yards this
afternoon. He gave the the following
account of the situation: "All is quiet, and
anticipate no trouble. There are no
special officers on the scene, as has been
stated. The situation is Just as it has been
the men want no doublehesders, and the
company authorities insist upon running
trains to suit themselves. Whether
apy attempt will be made to run double
header to-day or not decline to say.
Tie matter is between the railroad COM
psny and the employees, and does not
concern the public. If the workmen do
not care about working as we want
them to do, they can resign their positions"
4 freight brakeman who came from Glen
wood this afternoon, told that the strike had
been settled in favor of the men, but it is
denied. Two leaders otthe strike were dis
CHARGED last night.

NEw Yosz. August THE Times this
morning prints the following interview with
Charles Z. Chase, prominent whisky man
Of Louisiana:
There will be no further efo:t," Mr.
Chase said, to obtain an extension Of the
bonded period from the government, for q
large per centsge of dealers and disillers
are satisfied with the present law and are
thoroughly convinced that to ask CO. g'e's
for relief viii result onlyin depressing trade
and making the market lower and feverish.

nue. department for in that length of time
We find that whisky now natures sufficiently

again intiet Congress with our woes.
Mr.. Chase stated that S3,000,O00 would
cover all the failures In the trade, and that
the NeEeomb- Buchanan concern was re-
sponsible for two thirds OF the amount
The past two years depression he con-
Guued, has proved the soidity Of the LIQUOR
trade in general, for very few failures have
taken plsCe, although the losses have been
heavy The demand for consumption,
coupled With the large amount OF whisky
exported, has decreased vsry greatly the
