numors Of u startling Nature,

Tho ono absorbing topic Of conversation
across tho river in Bridgeport and Martins
Ferry yesterday, was the threatened hos
tilities between the Cleveland 4 Pitts
burgh and Cleveland, LOrain & Wheeling
railroads. Bridgeport was considerably
stirred up Thusday, as reported in yes
terdsy's issue, by tho appearance there of
gang Of Cleveland 4 Pittsburgh men
who commenced laying . line Of track
from q point just opposite the bridge toll
house, on the east aide Of the main track
down past Charlie Miller's saloon, This
work was stopped by the town authorities
soon after 1t was commenced and only a
few lengths Of rail were laid,
Those few lengths, however, were sphi'
cient to prevent the Cleveland, Lorain 4
Wheeling road from extending its line up
to Martins Ferry, or would necsssitate
that road going to considerable trouble
and expense in constructing lta line on
pilipa over the river bank and through
property not included in the original estl
mate the road made OF the cost aud work
Of extension. 1t should be understood
that the Cleveland, LorRin 4 Wheelinl
road some time since secured from Bel
mont county and the several local corpo
rations, the right Of way to construct iron
lis terminus in Bridgeport branch south
to Bellaire and branch north, to Martini
Ferry. /,
These branches when constructed vii
give the road access to number OF thu

mage IS well as being decided benefit Il
the concerns and the community III thu
way Of competing rates, Lately the i'm
preston has gotten abroad that the Balti

reach out. The great Pennsylvania Com
pany, operating the Cleveland 4 Pits

llsves that there IL some such agreement

A Bcggary Hag Loaded Dovnwiih Money
Boston Herald
The police patrol-wsgon was called out
five times last evening on division 6.
Four times for simple DRINKS, one of
whom was woman. just before II
o'clock the disk dropped for box 4. 1t
was the fifth call and the wagon darted
out of Athens street and flew to the cor
ner of + and West First streets In just
three minutes from the time the call came
the wagon was at the station house door.
'It contained q woman, old, ragged, aud
barefOoted. and with a greasy and torn
piece of shawl over her head. She was
assisted to the police rail- Officer Smith,
who had her in charge, said TO Lieut..
Coulter, who sat at the desk:
u want to put this woman up for safe
Keeping. She tried TO commit suicide
twice tonight. Once she attempted to
Jump overheard at the foot of d street,
and two young men prevented her; after
ward she essayed to get into the water at
the foot of f street, and there again the
young men saved her. | found her secret
ed under some rubbish in the hallway of
the old House of Blazes ON First street
No one in the house knew her and she
seems 90 be a subject for safe keeping
At this point the woman began to
plead piteously to be let go, declaring that
She would attempt suicide no more, and
cursed the officers.
She was dressed III ragged clothing GOV
cred with vermiu; her face was punched,
and the flesh of her hands and neck clung
10 the bones u4 if she suffered from want
of nourishmeut. She talked sensibly and
gave her name as KITTY Murphy; birth
place Ireland: age 80 years; place Of resi-
dence, an attic at tn corner of Essex and
Kingston streets She stated that she had
made her living by begging, by working
at odd Jobs and by picking rags on the
dump. After her records had been placed
on the books. Lieut.. Coulter ordered the
officers to search her. She refused to be
searched and resisted. Officer Smith
drew forth an old dirty rag filled
with dimes, then an old glove filed with
quarters, then a handkerchief, o dozen
old rags filed with copper and silver, and
two purses filled with bills and silver all
securely wrapped in paper After all the
bundles Of money that could be removed
we're piled on the lieut's desk, it was
found that the old miser had seven or
eight packages of money done upin cloths
and sewed TO her cOrsets. so that II was
impossible TO remove them, The money
taken from her amounted to $G2.1G, and
il is estimated that she had about $500
more sewed to her ragged clothing. as
the other packages we're filled with bank
bills, as she afterward acknowledged.
1t is believed that she was seized with the
idea that her snug little fortune would be
taken from her, and that impression
crazed her brain and drove her to attempt
suicide. She will not be arranged for
drunkenness.

Q ~
to Marry They Generally succeed.
This is the way Longyiew CORES pond
emit tells story of love and law in
/ Texas:
A few days ago, as the gray of the
earliest dawn was giving place to the
saffron tints thai heralded sunrise, there
came a maiden fair, with golden locks
flying in disorder from her long and
hurried all-night ride, and callow and
innocent looking youth, who sought shell
ter for the damscl in enc OF LonEyiew' S
hotels, when the youth fastened TO the
house of the County Clerk who issued
marriage licenses in this statel and asked
for the document that would give him a
J legal right to have some competent au-
thority TO marry them. The accommoda-
ting clerk, aroused from his slumbers,
went TO his office, and put the young man
through his examination as to age, oc-
cupation, etc, and the age of the maiden.
Glib were his answers about himself, but
he hesitated and stumbled and prevari-
Gated about the girls age until final,
Mr.. Levy, the clerk, said:
Mr.. Harris, your statements are correct
enough regarding yourself, but what you
say of Miss Cooper's age am quite sure
She is not OF the age be legally married
without her parents consent, I know
this is a run way match, and | cannot
issue the license"
Pleas were unavailing, and George V.
Harris left q sadder man. But wisdom
soon came TO him, and the results of that
wisdom showed later when the second
chapter began. Late in the afternoon a
venerable darky went TO the clerks Office
and asked for the Insurance of a license for
the marriage or his son, George v. Harris
and Miss Nellie Cooper, giving proper
answers to all questions. and the satis-
factory explanation that Miss Cooper's
father consented to the marriage, but
was so busy blowing out his crop he did
not wish to take time to come to town.
The needtul papers We're issued and
marked With a minute &C to indicate
they We're colored people.
Yesterday the minister who married Mr..
Harris and Miss Cooper met the clerk and
hailed him with. "Well ] see the runa-
way couple got the license. anyway
No said Mr.. Levy / refused to issue
it,"
But they brought it to me and l mar
ried them" said the minister
And then the point of the Joke was
seen. That innocent-looking youth had
bribed that old darby to go for the paper,
had thoroughly coached him in his an
swers. had got the license in that way,
and, as the "c,n placed on it was very
small, it was not noticed by the minister
who married them, and the couple went
on their way rejoicing back to their home
in Rusk County, whence they had come
TO escape parental wrath and circumveut

Mr. Cleveland Has Il Good Memory.
ChIcaso Inter OCEAN

A prominent western senator went up
to the white house as an escort of a prom
inent democratic leader of his state. In
opening the conversation the leader be
gan TO say that he had been watching the
development of its policy with great in
terest and anxiety, when the president in
terupted him with the question;
and what do you think of ity'
II think you have pursued a wise and
statesmanlike course, Mr.. President, a
very wise and statesmen like course but
the time has come for you to take decided
action, and 60 a little further and faster,
Mr. President, little further and faster"
"What do you mean by that:' inquired
the president.
~ mean that you should show your
democracy and encourage the party by
turning out more republicans and APP
pointing more democrats to office We
hope to see you go a little further and
faster in this direction, Mr. Cleveland, a
little further and faster
"Ihat is responded the president,
you want me to appoint two horse
thieves a day instead OF one:'
This shot hit the bulls eye. The presi-
dent has a good memory, and happened
to recall, while he was listening TO the
council of the western leader, that upon
his recommendation he had appointed a
man TO office who afterward turned out
to have been once convicted of stealing
