ARE THEY Welded.

An Alleged Bridegroom RepuiIates His
Bride-The Wife of the Student Appar-
emily Not Good Enough to be the Wife OF
tho Man of Business.
NEW YORK, October 81 special
from New Haven, Conn, says: A strange
case, containing many elements OF I'M
certainty, Is that of the recently reported
elopement of Miss Mamie Donnelly with
Vim. A. Mcdowell, of the Yale class of
1884. Miss Mamie is handsome
brunette of twenty three, and was en-
ptoyed as cashier in Photographic gall
ery here. Mcdowell is a distant rela-
tive of Henry CLAW, and a nephew Of
Major General Mcdonald. The rumor
created much talk in college, and some
of the students teleGraphed to Louisville
to have the rumor confirmed or denied.
Mcdowell at once telegraphed an ab-
solute denial to certain New Haven pa
pers and asked them to publish it. Soon
alter young man calling himself ]. A.
Ath"rton, of St. Louis, visited local
editorial room and, acting professedLY as
friend of Mcdowell, asked hat the
rumor of the marriage be denied. At
first ne protessed a willingness to
deny the marriage over his
own signature. and then he came
again and wanted nothing said about he
matter Miss Donnel US relatives in
sis ed that she had been married to Nc
Dowell and they had seen the marriage
Ger ifcate. Sunday q story was pub
lished in Hartford paper to the effect
that an unnamed s'female friendn of Miss
Donnelly had told reporter that Miss
D9nnelly and Mcdowell were not mar
ried. She said Mcdowell went to st.
LOUIS, where he is now IN business, and
that Miss DonnellY visited him and de-
manded that he should marry her. He
refused 10 do so and a stormy scene fol-
lowed. She then returned East. Miss
DonneIly has not returned to New Haven
nor to Hartford The Hartford story is
generally disbelieved, being regarded as
the work of aIcDowel's friends. Miss
Donnelly's relative still insist that she
is married to Mcdowell. She has, always
been regarded as modest aud virfuous
girl, and McDoweli's course is strongly
condemned here.

AN IMPORTANT ISSUE.

Kansas Claims an Interest In inc "
Lands within Her Borders and Does NO"
Propose to be Sat Down Upon by fSAh'
road Corporation without a Hearing.
WASHINGTON, D. c., October 20
Hon. John P. Usher, as one OF the attoF-
news of the Union Pacific Railroad CoH-
pany, has made the point with the LII.
terror Department that the state Oh
Kansas has no right to be heard IN re-
gard to the certifcation OF lands under
the grant to the company by the Govern
ment. His argument is that TINS Is
matter in which the State has no inter
est, and, therefore, can not come IN as d
| party to the, hearing.
Governor Crawford, who represents
Kansas in these land grant questlons oy
virtue of an act of the State Legislature
has presented reply to Mr. Usher. he
invites attention to the act under which
Kansas was admitted in 1861. That con"
tains provision for the payment to the
State of five per cent of the net proceeds
from sales of public lands by the Govern
ment.
'tFrom this" says Governor Crawford
sit will be observed that the State has
direct interest in every acre OF public
lands within it's borders. If any part
of these lands is wrongfullY taken and
certified to railroad company without
authority OF law, the State loses IFS pro.
portionate share. That thousands and
hundreds of thousands of acres of public
lands in Kansas which were neither
granted nor earned, and other hundreds
of thousands of acres which were express
ly reserved from the operations OF
grants, have been certified and patented
to railroad companies, can not be denied.
That thousands of acres, lawfully in the
possession of homestead and presumption
settlers at the date of the definite loca-
ton of such roads, have been Wrongfully
taken and unlaWfully certified under the
pretext of prior railroad rights, is also
true. All such lands would otherwise
have been sold by the Government, and
the State would have realized her FIVE
per cent"
After referring to the loss of lands se-
lected by the State under a grant for an
agricultural college, the Kansas Pacific
having withdrawn a considerable portion
OF these lands, and to the duty of the
State to protect its citizens, many of
whom have been dispossessed of their
homestead and presumption claims by
the railroad company, Governor Craw-
lord says:
sIn view of all these facts it would be
strange indeed if the State should be
denied hearing in matters of such
vital Importance by the ex.
ecutiYe officers OF the Government
The land-grant companies of Kansas have
long line Of alto neys, stretchin & away
from the Atlantic to the summit of the
mountains beyond the Mississippi, with
diyerging branches leading we know not
where; but that does not concern the
State. The State is merely endeavoring
to protect it's own interests and the in
terests of the citizens, even at the risk
of mourning the displeasure OF the dis
tinguished railroad counsel, under whose
administration, as Secretary of the Tnte-
rior, many of the wrongs complained of
were made possible"

The Katie Putnam Company.

The high dramatic standard Of
Katie Putnam and her company still
keeps fully up TO the mark. During
their performances here last week
nothing was slighted, no features OF
the plays were omitted and every
member of the company from first to
last attended closely to business aud
gave talented effort to each respective
part. A good sized audience attended
the first nights performance when
Lena, the Madcap," was presented.
The people were more than pleased,
they were delighted, and to see the
"Old Curiosity Shop II much larger
audience appeared, although the
weather was unpleasant. Last night
the people gathered at the Roller
Rink thicker than ever and they
were not disappointed in the
homelike play of dot, or the
Cricket on the Hearth" and the
lively farce, so aptly named THE
Youth Who Never Saw a Woman"
In both, Miss Putnam presented the
audience with the real, lively, pleas
ant, rollicking, little bundle of good
nature that she is. And yet the work
Is not overdone, IL is in fact rare eX-
amble of what true dramatic genius
and trimming can accomplish in the
art Of pleasing. We will not detail
the scenes that were 50 well presented
last night. We must say, however,
in good old-fashIoned terms, that they
were received with frequent and well
merited applause. Miss Carrie Rad
cliffe,as Bertha, the blind girl, in
dot" had better opportunity, than
on the previous two nights, to dis
play her fine acting, and her efforts
were duly recognized by the audience.
Her conception of the character is
marvelously good and it WAS evident
that Miss Radcliffe is destined TO con-
tin ued and gratifying success in her
profession. Mr.. J. H. Ferris, the
manager of the company, is, as one
nigh: expect under the circum-
stances, thorough gentleman and
very attentive to business. Prof. III.
Saro, musical director of the company
gave us plenty of good music and the
new scenery of the Rink worked like
clock under the direction OF the
stage manager, Frank Bosworth.
Come again Miss Katie and have the
same outfit If you can.
