A JUST REWARD.
After Years of Waiting an Old Soldier
Receives His Pension.

An old man named Edward Hughes
has been made happy at last by receiving
a pension for wounds received while
serving his country in the army.
He served through the war of the
rebellion and was known during hat
period by DIR. Gray, of this city.
After the close of the war he remained
in the service and was attached to the
18th infantry, and served through several
Indian campaigns, was wounded and soon
afterwards discharged in 1867. By some
means he was unable to procure a pen
sion, and recently DIR. Gray interested
himself in Mr.. Hughes and yesterday there
arrived a draft for him for full back pay,
and his name on the pension rolls to draw
in the future IS per month.
Hughes is an old man and resides on
the Box Elder, in Colorado, near the
Wyoming line, and has been in destitute
circumstances for a long period of time.
Being destitute to such an extent that he
could not provide for himself even the
common necessities oflife. His good and
deserved fortune will come at the right
time and place to carry him through life.
In a few days Hughes will leave fol
Illinois, where he will live the remainder
of his allotted days with his sister, now
having a sufficient amount of the worldly
possessions to carry him successfully
through life.

THEY MET AND sEARRIED.
Nuptials at New York of Fred w
Eastman and Miss Nettie Hale.

The divulgence of rOmanceS is contagious.
Following upon that of yesterday is another,
much of the same character and attended by
as happy results. Early in October Mr.. W.
W. Eastman, the island capitalist, sailed with
his family for Europe. Fred w. Eastman,
taking advantage OF a moment, when, in
Paris, his parents were in particularly
melting mood, broke the secret to them that
Miss Nettie Hale had became his wife. 1t
seems that he and his wife had been engaged,
with the consent of both families, but his
parents feared he would not be true to his
troth and would bring sorrow upon them by
an ll-adviSed marriage, lneSSalllance, else
where. Last October Fred gave large party
and in the brilliant parlors he and Miss Nettie
talked of the coming separation and finally
decided they would be married before that
time. Accordingly they skipped gaily to
Wisconsin and were welded. No word was
breathed of this until Fred gently broke the
news in Paris and his parents pressed him
fondly to their bosoms and invoked blessings
upon him and his bonny bride. Miss Hale, OF
Mrs. Eastman. is now in New York, where
she will be Joined shortly by her husband,
when they will come home to Minneapolis.
This story was officially given out, yester-
day and of course is true. But a short time
ago-some three weeks-the papers contained
personal notice that Miss Nettie Hale had
gone to Europe to be absent for some months.
So the romance is that the wedding did not
occur before the departure of the Eastmans
for Europe, but since that event and was duly
known to all members of the families before
hand Mrs. Eastman, Jr., is the daughter of
the late George W. Hale, and is a pretty,
vivacious little brunette full of animal spir-
its and fascinating society belle. Their
future residence in Minneapolis has not yet
been determined.

CURRENCY OF THE CURB.

The fight over paying the royalty on the
Jumbo pumps is at least amusing and it looks
as though Jimmy Waters had the best of it.
The contract with the Messrs. Strathman
Bros, who constructed the two last pumps,
specifically says that the sum of So, 600 shall
be paid to James Waters, the inventor, as
royalty. There are members of the
board of water commissioners who ex-
press a doubt as to the alleged TO-
000, 600 gallons per day capacity of the pump,
and on that score think there is good ground
for eontesting the royalty. The contract saws
that the Messrs. Strathman Bros must con-
struct a 10000. 000-gallon pump in each in
stance, but the board did not question the
fact that the contractors had complied with
the requirements, but inconsistency claim
that Waters is not entitled to his royalty be-
cause, forsooth, the pumps are under the
specified capacity. And, furthermore, Com
missioner Davis ayows that the pumps will
throw that much water, and the inventor
claims that they have exceeded it.
