The Washington bee., 1886-12-04


Cragwell did not treat her with
any respect nor did he write to
her for over a year. Still the lady
SAID that he was the only man she
ever loved and if she married
another it would be for spite.
The lady was told by friend not
to marry for spite and when
Cragwell came to the city two
weeks ago and was carried to see
her by this friend, she asked him
would it be wise to give him an
invitation to her marriage. She
was told no, notwithstanding
Cragwell was determined to have
her, although it was her intention
to marry Sneed In the afternoon
of Wednesday Nov. 2 the mar
riage license had been procured
and the lady in company with
her sister, Mr.. Noble Harris and
another went to the residence OF
DR.. Sunderland and were married.
DIR. Sunderland said that he
thought the affair a romance. but
did not consider it enough to ex-
cite his suspicious. Just
RETRIBUTIoN.
| have been told that Mr.. Sneed
has received just retribution.
1t is said that he has made love to
many young lady and dlsap-
pointed them, but whether this is
true or not | am unable to say, if
true he deserved the rebuke. Mr..
Cragwell is young man OF fine
and address. Mr..
Sneed wears spectacles which tend
to give him classic appearance.
He had many sympathizing
friends who regretted that he
was disappointed and many young
ladies' who were pleased.
THIS is sNEED' S LAST SONG.
Where has my Lulu gone,
Is the song I shall sing,
The chestnut bells are ringing,
And the boys they are singing,
Sneed, Sneed, Sneed o! Sneed,
Where has thy Lulu gone!
1t is not my intention to cast
any ref' ctiou on Mr.. Snead nor
do 1 desire to discourage the
young lady who was fortunate or
unfortunate enough to render
unto Sneed the things that are
Sneed's or unto Cragwell herself
/ am opposed to young men
introducing white men into our
society. l have in my mind now
a young man from Minnesota,
who has been enjoying the hos
pitalitles OF the social circle for
number of years aud on account
of his friendship and acquaintance
with this mai, he introduced him
to the Household. What was the
I saw him at a
social gathering a few months
ago, with a class of silly girls en-
81, ,sed within his arms in a waltz.
He has been given a position in
the War Department, where he
has kept himself secluded ever
since his appointment there. The
colored ladies with whom he use
to associate are below his digni-
lied (?) position. Our society la
dies have been imposed upon and
the sooner they trown down such
the better it will be for
them. Be it said greatly to the
credit of the Misses Jones on X
street n. W., they refused to leceive
an introduction to this pale face,
Who was thrust upon the House
lold.
Mr.. j. @. Asbury Vas married
W ednesday afternoon at half
past five o'clock in Norfolk Va,
o Miss Kate E.. Allen of that |
place. A reception was held in
he evening. The bridal party |
eft for this city and are now the
guests of Miss Alice Strange on 2 |
treet, n. W. l had a pleasant |
hat with DR.. Dorsey a few days
go. He had just returned from
Philadelphia, where be had been
ettling up his mothers estate.
lie has been left a we'll to do man.
n fact he was worth money long
'efore the death OF his mother. I Il
hall meet you at the Household
sunday afternoon, until then
,ood bye.
Yours truly,
CLARA.
