] In addition to making the tax levy
last Monday, the Commissioners re-
ceived the resignation of ] f. Hen
dersOn as County Superintendent and
appointed G. f. Merwin to fill out the
unexpired term. They also received
the resignation of VIM. Riggs as Clerk
Of Usage township, and appointed NJ.
b. Dawson in his place. Mr.. Hender-
road as agent for the Musical Libra
ry,' and Mr.. Riggs resigns because he
no longer lives in Usage township.
The appointments to fill both vacan-
cies could not have been better. Mr..
Merwin is already familiar with the
work of the Superintendent's Office,
having frequently assisted Mr.. Hen

served one or two terms in the same,

1t seems that or Humboldt friends
are going to have q railroad all of theiA
own as Il company has recently been>
formed underline name Of''T The Topeka,
Humboldt and Southeast r. r. Co.,"
of which f. Rosenthal is president and
E. A. Barber, attorney. The company
appeared before the County Commits
siolers on Monday with a petition
asking the Board to call an election
fOr/the voting of bonds in aid of the
road in Elsmore, Cottage Grove and
Humboldt townships. The former
townships are asked to subscribe $40,
700 each. and the latter 80, 900. The
consideration of the petition was post
pOned until next Monday. We pre-.
sumo the election will have to be called
if the provisions of the law ars all COM
piled with, but to a man up tree it
looks like waste of money to the cOun-
ty, for it is next to.impossible that they
will amount to anything. Humboldt
may be able to carry the bonds, but
Cottage Grove and Elsmore townships
will hardly care to load themselves
down with debt to pay for Humboldt's
whistle.

0oachman schiiIing selling His Wife

New YORK, Sept. o.-Ernest Schilling,
the coachman who was the husband Of the
coachman's bride. quit street-railroading
very suddenly yesterday, packed his trunk,
and disappeared as mysteriously as did his
wife week ago. He had asked the Super
intendent Of the road for 2.days holiday,
Just as his wife had asked the manager Of
the Casino fer vacation when she went
away. This is confirmation OF the story
which comes out to- night on good authority
that the coachman had received SIS, 900 OF
the Morosini wealth in consideration of his
giving up his wife. Young Mr.. Brentano,

ton. Mr.. Berntano always repeated what
she said to Mr.. Morosino the next time he
came in the store. The old gentleman was
very cold at first, but by slow degrees he
became more willing to listen to talk about
his daughter, and finally admitted that he
might forgive his daughter if she would show
rePentant spirit. The hirt was sufficient,
and when Victoria went away last week she
went to the home Of distant connection of
the family to remain for time. This step
resulted in the purchase by Morosini OF the
coachmans release of his daughter and will
end in his full forgiveness Of her. The
final negotiations were made in the Office of
Vanderpool, Green & Cummings, the law
yers. Once calling there Mr.. Morosini
learned that his daughter was within. He
refused to enter, and transacted his business
by note to her. Manager Aronson OF the
Casino says that he will sue Mrs. Shilling for
damages if she does not return and fulfill
ssr contract.-Spteiai 10 Chicago Tribune.

Welded BY PROXY.
A Curious Marriage Ceremony Per-
formed i'm Galveston.

Tustice James F. Spann Of the First pre-
cinct of Galveston county has put in prac-
tice rather singular law, but one withal in
cludcdl in the United States statutes. Mrs.
An,cinette Puppo, Castiiian widow, has
made her he adquarters at Galveston for a
number Of years, during which time her sec
ond husband, Juan Baritista Marsan, whom
she subsequently married while here amass.
ed a considerable fortune in business.
Mrs. Puppo is a Spanish beauty Of the
most pronounced type, and was greatly ad-
mired for her beauty, grace and accomplish
ments. AL things we're progressing smoothly
until her second husband, Juan Marsan, be-
came seriously afflicted with malady which
necessitated the temporary breaking up of
his business and change Of scene and eli
mate. The city OF Monterey, Mexico. was
selected as the most srable place for him
to regain his health, and the invalid and his
beautiful wife soon after arrived at the place,
where they became acquainted with Mexi-
the name OF Callieto Piazzini
Senior Piazlini was Immediately impressed
with the invalid's beautiful wife, and his
visits to their abode were frequent,
Mrs. Puppo in turn showed an affection
for the society of the Mexican, and though
no open vows were exchanged at Monterey
it is presumed that perfect understanding
existed between the infatuated couple before
the invalid and his wife returned to Calves.
ton.
Shortly after their return home Juan Mar
san died, leaving everything in his possess
ion, together with the management OF his
business, to his wife, who at once appointed
an administrator TO wind up the estate. After
this she notified Callieto Piazzini, in Mon
tetey, Of the fact that she was widow, and
experimenting it with several suggestions as
to the course to be pursued. The result was
that Plazzini, after much correspondence on
both sides, authorized Senior Luciano Gallo,
STA of this city, and the head of wholesale
tobacco firm, to appear before the proper ap
thorties Of the United States, and in con
formity with the laws to represent and marry
him (PiazzinD to Mrs Puppo, and to sign the
marriage contract before the authorized
Judge, giving IS an excuse that his marriage
to the Spanish widow would of necessity
have to be celebrated by proxy on account of
his not having the time to spare to attend to
it in person.
Accordingly the license pas procured in
this city, and Luciano Calosia, for Callieto
Pia2zlni, and Mrs. Anloinette Puppo, widow
Of Juan Marsan, appeared before Justice
Spann, Ealosia, and were married. Immedi-
ately after the ceremony the bride left to
join her husband Piazzini.
L. Calosia, the proxy in this instance, was
married to Miss Marie Compos Rivas of Ri
vadeo, Province of Lugo, Spain, in August,
1884, F B. Calosia appearing as proxy un-
der power of attorney and by certificate Of
the Spanish Consul of this city. y sister Of
Mr.. Calosia, resident Of Spain, was mar
ried in similar manner to a gentleman in
