NEW WAY TO GET A HUSBAND.

A pretty and lady-like young woman,
giving her name as Mary Graham, applied
on Tuesday to the Commissioners of Char
tiles in Brooklyn to be sent to the hospital
as she was sick and her parents had dis
carded her. She told the following mark
able story, and, to prove that she was a
married woman, exhibited certificate of
the marriage of Charles Graham, aged
twenty six, of ST. Felix street, Brooklyn,
the same address. 1.-THE ceremony was per-
formed on June 6, and Mayor Seth LOWS
perpendicular signature attested that he
officiated. Mary declared herself to be the
daughter of reasonably well-to- do persons
who live in Brooklyn, but whose address is
withheld. She earned pocket money by
giving music lessons in the neighborhood.
She was courted by young man who gain
ed her affections, promised to marry her,
and then accomplished her downfall. Her
sweetheart then forsook her, and disappear
ed from Brooklyn. Mary dreaded the ex-
posure of her secret, and finally hit upon
desperate plan to make things right
at home. She says she walked over to
New York, and at Worth street and
Broadway met a young man who, she said,
seemed to have a kindly face. He was
total stranger to her, but she boldly walked
up to him and asked him if he was married.
She received negative reply, and then she
told him the story of her trouble. All she
wanted, she pleaded, was marriage certifi-
cate duly made out and signed. The
stranger, who gave her the name of Charles
Graham, talked with her for some time, and
finally agreed TO her proposition to return
to Brooklyn with her and act in the capaci-
ty of groom at the wedding. Mary said she
had no doubt that Mayor Low would per-
form the ceremony, and she pledged herself
to make no further claim upon her new
friend after the marriage took place. When
the couple presented themselves to Mayor
Low he said they were old enough to act
upon their own responsibility, and as he had
no reason to suspect conspiracy performed
the ceremony without hesitation. The ad
dresses given were fictitious, but Mary did
not care. She had her certificate, and she
took it home with her and exhibited it to
her friends. The accommodating stranger
had in the meanwhile disappeared, aud she
said that her husband was out Of town on
business. He never reappeared, and Mary's
parents began to suspect tthatsomethlng was
wrong. There was scene at the house
few days ago, and Mary was advised to seek
refuge elsewhere. She had no money, her
friends, it is said, all turned their backs upon
her, and she was forced to apply to the
Charities Com mmissione:s to be committed TO
the hospital at Flatbush She was sent
there, but the Charities Commissioners will
invetigate her story.

DIVING OUT OF a WINDow.-A Boston
special says: Peter McCary, who had been
drinking, awoke about one o'clock one
morning recently, with the idea that the
house was on fire and that it was his duty
TO save the lives of the inmates. After
having led a number of imaginary persons
to a window and sent them to the ground,
as he dreamed, by safety chute, he decided
70 save himself in the same manner. His
wife by this time being awakened by the
noise was horri6ed to see him making pre-
parations to dive out of the window head
first. With bound she succeeded in grasp
ing one of her husbands legs just as he shot
out of the window. Shrieking for help, she
hung on to him, but before the arrival OF
aid her strength gave out and she was
obliged to let 60 her hold Her husband
fell to the sidewalk, where he was picked
up unconscious and conveyed to the City
Hospital. There are slight hopes of his re-
covery.
