Considerably Married.
Special to the Globe.

EAsToN, Penn, Oct. 25 The new
Pennsylvania marriage law is not entirely
proof against clandestine marriage from this
state going to neighboring states. A case
of this kind was developed here yesterday
Isaac Herdman served a term in Jail here in
1884 for bigamy. He is 80. years old and
good-looking. He then had wife living at
Bloomfield, n. j., and came here and mar
ried Annie Brown, aged "a. the daughter
of one of the first families. He married
Annie Travers, aged IA years and months,
before Miss Brown, and for this bigamous
act he served term in Jail. His present
offense consists of enticing young girl,
Lizzie Delaney, from this place to Newark,
n. j. Here the girls mother alleges Herd
man induced Mrs. Miller to make Lizzie
drunk and in this condition they took her
to minister's, where Herdman married the
girl, who is but Is years old. The greatest
excitement exists over the affair. 1t is not

they are now. The secretary or congress-
man insisted on a
PARTICULAR APPOINTMENT.

He did not offer four names from which
one was to be chosen. On the other hand
he did, in hundreds OF cases, prevent the
removal of an incompetent clerk, to which
the civil service commission offers no OBJ
struction at all. The news is being passed
around among the Democratic politicians
that the president is going to change the
rules, so that the appointing officer will
have probably score, or perhaps the whole
list, of eligibles to select from. The latter
extreme measure would be a violation of
the law, which says that the appointments
shall be made from among those graded
highest as the result of such competitive
examinations. The only reason for either
of these changes is that it would enable the
appointing officer to skip the Republicans
among the eligible and appoint all Demo
Gratis. The president is not going to amend
the rules in order to accomplish any such
purpose, and the statesmen who are living
on the hope that he is going to do this are
nourishing themselves ON something about
as substantial as the east wind.

READING, Pa, Oct. 25.-The Rev. B.
Small, aged so years, Lutheran pastor in
the northern part of this county, is the
father of large family. About two years
ago he lost his wife by death. Last Sep
tember he was welded to Miss Amelia
Dietrich, aged 23, This led to considerable
talk and finally eliminated in the pastors
severance from one of his charges by the
action of the church council in voting him
out. The Rev. Mr.. Small says the council
acted Illegally and he has requested tho dis
trict synod of the Lutheran church to make
thorough inquiry into the matter which
has deprived him of his pulpit. Since his
removal the Rev. Mr.. Small has been re-
peatedly urged by friends to reoccupy his
pulpit, but he has refused to do so for fear
of raising disturbance about the house of
God. The whole trouble, it is alleged, was
caused by the divulging of the contents of
personal letters written to the young
woman by the Rev. Mr.. Small
BEFORE THEY WERE MARRIED.
The letters were surreptitiously taken
from Miss Dietrich's bureau drawer, their
contents copied. perverted and made to read
differently from the originals. These
copies were made the public laughing stock
at country stores. Scandal was spread
broadcast and the pastors character
slanGered in most shameful manner. The
Rev. Mr.. Small said to-day: 81 have done
no wrong. My wife has done no wrong.
Every letter I ever wrote to her was in a
manly, Christian spirit Isolated sentences
and garbled paragraphs were secretly taken
from the stolen letters and people put their
own harsh construction upon them. The
whole affair is an outrage gotten up by my
enemies and l feel confident that the synod
will right the matter" The Rev. Mr.
Small has been in the ministry about thirty
five years and is one of the best-known
clergymen in the country. The congrega-
ton in which the difficulty originated is
known as the Corner church, Albany town
ship, and has large membership. The
special church council will meet some time
in November, when an investigation will be
made.

UTICA, N. Y. Oct. 25.-The venerable
Horatio Seymour has addressed the editor
of the Observer letter in response to re-
quest that he should speak upon the pend
ing political issues. Mr.. Seymour states
that i'll health prevents his attending public
meetings, but he feels a deep interest in
elections, as he fears there are designs that
threaten serious evils to our country. He
deprecates the attempts of certain leaders
to divert the attention of the people from
State issues, and to revive sectional feeling,
which was fast dying out, and he cautions
the people against supporting men who
would thus perpetuate strife and hatred.

Cleveland ON the Tariff.
Special to the Globe.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-The National
Republican publishes the following: ''Presi-
dent Cleveland has indicated something of
his idea of the tariff. He was in CONVEX
sation the other day with an intimate
friend. He said that he was against the
ratification of the reciprocity treaty with
Mexico, and in fact all reciprocity treaties,
because they were intended only for artiti-
cially stimulating trade. He is for free
raw material tariff bill, and thinks raw
material bill should be admitted to this
country, free, from all North American
countries. In his message to congress he
will speak these sentiments. He thinks
the real way to deal with the tariff is by
direct laws, as we have now, and that trea-
ties are evasions which should not be re-
sorted to in this age of modern legislation" :"

In Honor of Cen. Lee.

Special to the Globe.
PETERSBURG, Va. Oct. 25.-Gen. Fitz-
hugh Lee, the Democratic candidate for
governor, spoke at Blacks and Whites, a
station on the Norfolk & Western railroad,
on Saturday to 5000 people from the sur
rounding country, many of whom came a
distance of forty miles on horseback and in
vehicles. He was met at the depot by sew
eral hundred mounted men and large
number on foot, and amidst the greatest en-
thusiasm was escorted to the place of speak
ing. During the afternoon Gen. Lee ar
rived here from Blacks and Whites on a
special chartered train and was met at the
depot by fully three thousand persons, a
large number of whom were men mounted
on horseback. After Gen. Lee had disem-
barked from the train procession was
formed consisting of two bands of music,
men on horseback and prominent citizens
in carriages. At the head of the
procession rode Gen. Lee, and
when the procession passed the residence
of Senator Malone, all eyes were turned
toward it to see if he was witnessing the
grand demonstration; but he was only seen
as he viewed the parade from third-story
window, which was partially obscured from
view by the limbs of the trees in the yard.
When seen he was at the window alone,
and not single movement of his body was
p erceptible, nor did smile play upon his
face. AS the procession marched by els
residence the crowd cheered Justify, but
Gen. Lee did not look toward it. Gen. Lee
addressed an immense crowd at the Acad-
emy of Music last night and many were
turned away for want of standing room.
He spoke in loud praise of the grand ova-
ton accorded him by the Petersburg De-
mocracy, and said that he thought his elec-
ton is assured by $4,000 majority. Gen.
Lee discussed the various issues involved
in the pending canvass, and his speech
made a most excellent impression. He
speaks Monday at Southampton court house,
and from there goes to Suffolk and Norfolk.

The Virginia Battle.

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 25.-''Will Fora
ker and other Ohio speakers who may come
here to help Mahone's ticket make the
bloody-shirt issue prominent one in their
efforts here?" was asked of one of the most
prominent Republican, eaders here.
81 think not" he replied. ''They may
refer to sectional questions Indirectly, but I
do not believe it will be our policy to per-
NIT too much to be said on that point in
our campaign. The Democrats would not
like anything better than to have Judge
Foraker make bloody-shirt speech
here just at the close of the
canvass, when they could exaggerate
his utterances, and stir up the bitterest feel
ing against US. Oh, no. / believe that our
policy will be to get those gentlemen from
distance to make business speeches. At
ter all, that is the most important and best
issue that can be made with the white peo-
pie in Virginia" 1t is believed that Fora
ker. and those that may accompany him,
will address themselves to this idea. Both
parties have the credit of having plenty of
money. With few exceptions the col
ored ministers of this state are doing all they
can to aid Malone. Many of these shep-
herds assemble their focks at night and ad-
dress them in behalf of the Republican

that Malone has in this campaign. Speak
ing of the statement made by one of the
leading New York papers to the effect that
the ministers of his race in Virginia are
laboring in behalf of the Democratic candi-
date this year, Rev. William Troy, the
pastor of one of the largest colored congre
cations in Richmond, denies it. Says Rev.
Troy: ''Not word of this is true about
the colored ministry of this city or the state
of Virginia. Solidly we stand for the Re-
publican standard bearers-Wise for the
governor, Blair and the whole ticket as it
is. I am pastor and have the
largest membership in this city, and the
ticket put forth by the Republican
party will be sustained without doubt,
know" Troy has membership of four OF
five thousand, and has great deal of infiu-
ence among his flock, as well as his race
generally. Since the result of the Ohio
election became known in this state many
of the Democrats have manifested some
anxiety about the effect on the contest in
Virginia. One hears more doubts expressed
by leaders Of that party now than before
the Ohio election. The greater fear seems
to come form the fact that it is believed that
Northern Republicans will be encouraged
by the victory gained by their party in the
Buckeye state to contribute literally.

A Puzzle With Letters.

Some time since students at the Bos-
ton Institute of Technology designed a
puzzle which is quite interesting.
Given two words of an equal number
of letters, the problem is to change one
to the other by altering one letter at a
time of the first so as to make a legitimate
English word, continuing the altera-
tions until the desired result is attained.
The conditions are that only one letter
shall be altered to form each new word,
and that none but words which can be
found in English dictionaries shall be
used. Here are some examples of the
changes:
East to West.-East, vast, vest, west.
Dog to Cat.-Dog, dig, tig, fit, fat, cat
Soup to Fish.-Soup, soul, soil, foil,
fowl, foot, cOot, cost, cast, fast. fist, fish.
Road to Railroad, rood, root,
coot, coat, coal, coil, toll, tail, rail.
Milk to Hash.-Milk. mile, male,
mate, hate, hath, hash.
AS the evenings become cooler, home
amusements will be in order, and read
ers are at liberty to make suggestions
in that line.

A Geological Curiosity.

The stump of large tree has been
found on the farm of a Mr.. Curtiss,
in Southbury, Conn, in a state of per-
feet petrifaction. A piece of the same
in possession of Mllkman Whitney, OF
Birmingham, about six inches long by
four in diameter, weighs ten pounds.
A large portion of the body of the tree
seems also to have been petrified, but
was broken up and built into stone
wall before its actual character was
discovered. Mr.. Curtiss's wall has
since been nearly destroyed by speci-
men-hunters. He has been offered a
liberal sum of money for the stump,
but as yet refuses to part with it. A
curious feature in the Whitney speci-
men is that, while the grain of the
wood is plainly to be seen, yet there
seems to be several kinds of stone en-
tering into its composition, some white
and tlintlike, and others dark and
shaly, yet all crosswise the grain, sus-
