MISS FRANKIE FOLSOM,
No Doubt Entertained as to Her Engage

BUFVALo, n. Y, April lS.-There ia nc
longer any dosbt here about the truth oi
the report that Miss Frances Folsom is
engaged to be married to President Cleve.
land, her fathers former law.partner,
and the acceptance BY Miss Fol
SONS relatives Of the truth of the
report has thrown society into q Autter.
The younger set which comprises all the
lovely girls with whom frankie Folsom is
such a tsVorite, are divided between states
OF surprise and mock Indignation. Miss
Ida Gregg, the handsome daughter Of DR..
K X. Gregg, of Main street, is fairly
beseiged with feminine visitors, who beg
for particulars of the engagement
and examine with interest the half
dozen splendid photographs of frankie,
which the fair girl placed with her own
hands in the family album. Miss Gregg is
one Of the most accomplished society
bellies and has long been known ss
Miss Folsom's "chum" and CONF
dante. She processes to be as much in
the dark IS the rest of the girls regarding
the engagement, but there is good ground
for g report that she has received
letter from Mics Folsom, who is now in
Genoa, Italy, inviting her to be one
OF the bridesmaids. Both the Pres;-
dent and the bride expeetant want to
keep the ceremony quiet in order to avoid
the display which would be the result.
Old friends of Mr.. Folsom and Mr.. Clevs-
land, so far as heard rom, are grati6ed at
the announcement of tie present engage
ment.
Mr.. Henry W. Box, who was almost
brother to the late Oscar Folsom, said in
with your correspondent on
the subject: Il have received
no letter announcing the engage
nent, but believe 1t to be
3 fact. / have been led to expsc; 1t for
some time; aud, while do not kaow when
il will take place, have no doubt but that
Miss Folsom will be welded to the Presi.

Che Organ.

As an EPITAPH reporter was passing along Fifth street yesterday, the follow ing scene was enacted: A small, abject- looking specimen about three feet high, resembling the lowest type of the genus tramp, was seen lying in a pool of filth and garbage. The fumes of cheap whisky filled the atmosphere around him. An ever-watchful policeman coming that way espied the specimen, and forthwith ordered it to arise, remarking:
 q say, there, get up what are you doing in that gutter?
 The object did not speak, although it showed evidence of life, whereup"n the policeman called the garbage man and asked him to haul the bundle of filth away. The cartman gazed at the speci- men for a time and then slowly shook his head saying, "I will not touch that" but by the profuse donation of money he finally consented to remove the bundle. So he quietly lifted it on his cart with a pitchfork and drove away. The las, seen of the object, he was riding down Allen street swinging his arms and legs wildly in the air shouting:
 "I am the fellow who runs the organ !"

Another Plan.
EDITOR EPITAPH :

EDITOR EPITAPH
 In the light of the fact that the school trustees have not conformed with the law in calling an election for the purpose of raising school money, and consequent- ly could not collect the money, should they carry the election, we would suggest that the trustees adopt the following plan, and thus set themselves right be- fore the people, and at the same time perform at least in part their duty to- wards the children, whose educational guardians they are:
 Let them rescind the order for tax of 8ooo; reduce the salaries of the teachers to the figures paid by the last board of trustees; present 10 the taxpayers a clear statement of the actual amount nec- essary to run the schools until the sum mer vacation, in June, and there is not the least doubt but it would be cheer fully voted, otherwise, otherwise.

Tho Gas hwlndle.

An EPITAPH reporter, in conversation with trusted gas employe yesterday, learned few facts which will be of in- terest to the public.
 "The company says the gas man will hold to their present method of cheating the community just as long as they can. Why" said he, 'the present charges for gas cost the consumers of this city up- wards of $3S per 900 feet"
 Reporter-"How many customers have your company lost during the past six weeks !"
 "Well," replied the gas man, "fully one third of them have quit using gas. Still, the balance have got to settle the bills. The company is making as much money as ever. Did you know, Mr. EpITAPH, that this man Woods is making desper- ate efforts to get gas franchise from Phoenix, but as yet he has not succeeded. The people of that section arc learning something of his method of doing busi- ness through the EpITApH's disclosures. "
 Reporter-"Are you not afraid to tell the secrets of your boss ?"
 Gas Man-"No, sir. l am going to leave him soon; he imposes too much labor upon me, and don't care how soon l quit. will tell you something which will astonish the public in few days. Adios w

far Meet Ng.

In response to the call made by Judge Peel through the columns of the EPITAPH, yesterday, large number of prominent attorneys assembled at the office of the county superintendent; of schools, for the purpose of discussing the question, "Who are entitled to vote in the school election" Hon. B. L. Peel was elected chairman and J. O. Dunbar secretary The question was thoroughly discussed by the different attorneys present, Judge Street alone taking no part in the discussion. The bar of Tomb stone with one single exception, arc unanimous in the opinion that no person is allowed by law to vote upon the ques ton, only those who pay taxes. The holder of a polltax receipt cannot legally cast a ballot in this school election. The meeting was harmonous throughout and the best of feelings prevailed, and in ac cordance with the opinions expressed by the bar of this city, Judge Peel ha, notified the public of his decision in tho matter through the columns of th' EPITApE.

Tho Wrestling Match.

The wrestling match last night be- tween Pete Schumacher and Dan Milo, at the Elite Theatre, was well contested, both men being giants in the business. The first was an hour, Cumberland style, and was, as was generally expected, a victory for Milo, he having won seven falls out of nine. This Cumberland, or back holt style, was new business to Schumacher. The second was one half hour match atch-as-catch-can.' Herethe Tombstone giant showed his marvellous dexterity and ability, handling his oppo- nent with apparent ease, and at the end of the half hour had scored four straight falls. When time was called it was ap- parent to the spectators. that Schumaker had the battle in his hands. The third and last consisted of one-half hour Graeco-Roman style, this being Schu- makers best hold. When time was called he succeeded in scoring three falls Tn rapid succession, whereupon Mir. Milo gave up the battle and Dr. Goodfellow, who was the referee, de- clared Schumacher the victor amidst loud applause.
 Owing to the lateness of the hour the EPlTAPH is unable to go into details, but will say that both men are splendid specimens of manhood. Schumaker, in our humble opinion, is the best man in the world of his size. He has courage, endurance and science and is honorable in his transactions. Nothing could tempt him from the course of right, con sequently his friends are legion and they will back him against all corners.
