WOMAN MARRIEs WoMAN.-A dispatch
from Grand Rapids, Mich, to the New y ork
World says "Annie Hindle, who for fifteen
years has been leading impersonator of
male characters on the vaudeville stage, has
been playing an engagement at Smiths
Opera House the past week and has become
o prime favorite. At times there has been
some talk about Annie Hindle not being
woman, but not much attention had been
paid to the supposed guy until all doubts
upon the matter were set at rest late Sunday
night, when at room 10 Barnard House,
Annie Hindle, under the name of Charles
Hindle, was quietly married by Rev. X. B.
Tuppe to Annie Ryan, of Cleveland, o., who
travelled with Hindle in the capacity of
maid. The intended marriage was kept
very quiet, and not until after the event &C.
Cured were his Tor herr associates aware of
the relations existing between the two. The
woman who for years had been dressing
with Hindle in the Same dressing-room new
or for moment supposed that he was any
thing else than a woman, and even now
those who have been associated with him
are loath to believe that he Tor she) really
married tho lady named. Hindle says all
that he knows about his boyhood is that he
was adopted by an elderly woman in Eng
land named Annie Hindle, and named
Charles Hindle. AT five years of age he
went on the stage in concert saloonsin Hert-
fordshire, and he continued to " car dresses,
and so became woman and finally male
impersonator. He came to this country in
1869 and soon after became the wife of
Charles Vivian, the English comedian, liv.
ing with him for nearly year, making q
trip 10 California and back"

Collanse of the Strikes.

CHICAGO, June 1.-THE Furniture Work
ers' Union unanimously passed resolution
last evening permitting the cabinet workers
to return to ten hours labor This action,
it is thought, will virtually prove dissolu

in the furniture business, as the linishers
and machine hands are subservent to the
action of the cabinet workers. 1t is beiev
ed that all of the furniture factories in the

A VERDICT FOR GEN. JoRDAN.-Foity
years ago Thomas A. Jordan, q native oil
Luray, Page rouuty, Va, and graduate oil
the West Point Military Academy, served
in the United States army as quartermlaster
at Vera Cruz during the Mexican war, and
later on, during the Indian wars in Oregon,
he stepped in when the Treasury Depart
ment was behindhand with the funds, and
supplied the sinews of war to the extent OF
half million of dollars. During the late
war he followed the fortunes Of his native
State as chief of Gen. Beauregard's stall.
Recently he was surprised to hear that
Uncle Sam had q claim of about $4,000
against him for an alleged shortage of &C.
counts. A treasury clerk named Baxter had
been going over the forty-year-old papers,
and he declared that he found al! sorts OF IT.
regular items which failed to come up to the
requirements of the department. For the
past few days Judge Brown, Of the United
States District Court, and an unhappy jury
have been wrestling over these items, which
ranged all the way down from Sc 600 to 10
cents. Assistant District Attorney Harvard

the various items, many ofwbich were pure

proved on examination to be quite correct.
Then Gen. Jordan spent day in the witness
chair and told the jury how it was that a
man in the field, battling with thieves and
yellow fever-the latter laying him low
twice-and having the distribution in one
year of over s6,OOO,OOO, might sometimes
fail in having his vouchers exactly correct.
The $4,000 item he swore was forgery,
and he brought documentary evidence to
sustain his position. A special act Of Con.
gress had been adopted years ago ordering
his Mexican accounts to be passed in equity
and justice. Interesting evidence was
brought in to show how, in Oregon, the
General had personally Endorsed the salaries
of soldiers when the Treasury Department
failed to como to time, and thus enabled
them to carry on an important Indian war.
