columbia Is. C) Special to Richmond Dispatch.
A cruel joke was perpetrated to-day
upon the good people who live along
the upper end OF the Charlotte, Colum-
bis and Augusta Railroad. Yesterday
gang of waggish drummers, who had
been :'doing" that section, circulated
the report that President Cley eland,
after leaving Charleston, would pas
over the road on his way home. The
rumor spread like wildfre, and was
given credence generally, especially by
the country people.
This evening, therefore, when the
train from the South came along, the
stations at Rockhill, Pinehill, Femille,
Seven-mile Pump, etc, were crowded
by men, women and children, all class.

At Pineville four hundred country
people had assembled, and as the trai
drew up to the station a brass band
discourssd a patriotic air. On tie rear
tplatform of the Pullman stood r. IL
Pr.mpert and Dick Harvey, two ct
be most innocent .drummers OH the
road.
As the cheering subsided Prsmpert
took of his hat and addressing the
throng informed them in the most
bland manner that he regretted Presi.

his berth, but he Prempert) had the
honor of introducing to the m the Presi-

greeted the announcement, wh-reupon
Dick Harvey doffed bis silk hat and
in graceful and appropriate terms ac-
kno~ledged the kind courtesies of the
people intended for his distinguished
chief. The crowd cheered the band
played, the locomotive whistled and
shrieked, the train moved on toward
Charlotte, aud the enthusiastic country
people dispersed seemingly well salts
fed with having seen, if not the Presi
dent, at least his confidential friend
and secretary.

Brooks Bill Litigation.
JUDGE ALBRIGHT DEoIDEs THAT CON
STABLES MUST BE PAID FOR INSPECT
ING SALOONS.


ALLENTOWN, March g. One OF the
most important cases tried at this
weeks term of court was that of Reu
ben Semmel against the county OF lie
high. Semmel has for many years
been Constable OF North White Hall
township and sued to recover fees and
mileage for making monthly visits tc
places where liquor is sold, as required
by the Brooks high license law. The
Constables of the county last fall form
ed league, having for its object the
securing Of compensation for making
monthly visits to all places where
liquor is sold. In October Semmel
brought suit against the county for
fee of $3.50 for each tour OF inspec
ton and mileage. Semmel's district !,
the largest in the county, and for THE
reason he was selected to test the case.
On each tour he covers twenty.fv
miles, and he claimed that in addition
to the fee Of $3.50 he was entitled t.
six cents per mile, or $1.5O more, max
ing his compensation for each month
three dollars. Judge Albright told th'
jury that the fee bill of 1868 entitled
Constables to fees for certain duties
and since the duties of these officials
embraced in the high license law were
compulsory they were entitled to fee
of $l.5O and mileage. He directed th'
jury to render o verdict in Mr.. Sem
mel's favor for twelve dollars in pay
ment for bis services for four months.
The Commissioners have made a
motion for new trial. Should new
trial be refused it is altogether likely
that the Commissioners will appeal the
case to the Supreme Court. If the de-
clsion of Judge Albright is sustained
it will affect every Constable in the
State. A final decision favorable to
Semmel would cost this county annual
ly about one thousand dollars.
In Northampton county it has been
decided that Constables need not make
the visits and in Montgomery and
Schuylkill the judges have decided
that such tours are compulsory, but in
neither case has the question of com
pensation been raised.

Peter Herdic died last Friday morn

He was one of the most energetic
of the men who have been prominent
in the development of the resources OF

The annual statement of the Penn

total gross earnings of the whole system

900 over last year, and $lO,0O0,OO0
greater than any previous years earn
ings. Nearly l8,000,000 tons of coal
were carried in 1887. The business OF
a great railroad Is an in1ex to the pros
perity of the country. 1t is well to re-

SECOND HUSBAND KILLS lhSkLF ON
THE REAPPEARANCE OF THE FIRST.
Special telegram to the Times-
WILKEsBARRE, March 3. Thirty
years ago when Mary Gotham was q
prettie lassie in the town of Durham,
England, she had many suitors for her
hand but finally consented to marry
Martin Bowe, handsome young man
of the town. Everyone looked upon
the marriage as very agreeable one
For while the two young people lived
very happy life, but disagreements
arose and the young husband took to
drink. The wife became discouraged,
and one bright moonlight night she
eloped with former suiter named
Gaughen. The eloping couple came
to America and settled in Schuylkill
county. Bowe, the deserted husband,
left England ten years after his wife
came to America, After time he
emigrated to Australia, and then came
to the anthracite region of Pennsyl-
vania, where big wages were then be-
ing paid for all kinds of labor. Bowe
secured work in the coal mines and
prospered. One day while attending
funeral in ueighboriug village he
was startled at seeing the face of his
wife. At first he did not believe i,
was the same woman, but after some
inquiry he found that she was his long
lost wife. Mr.. Bowe was then living
comfortably with her second husband,
Geughen, and che declined to leave
him to rejoln her first husband. Bowe
then retur"ed to his home with heavy
heart and he did not see his wife again
until about year after, when he fol-
lowed her to this county. aaughsn,
the husband No. 2, thought he would
do better in this section, SO he moved
his family to Ashley, this county. He
continued to labor in the mines and by
industry and thrift succeed in accumu-
lating considerable property. One day
Bowe, husband No. l, came along and
applied for board at the Ganghan man
zion. Mrs. Gaughan accommodated
him and now had two husbands urder
the same roof. Everything went along
smoothly in the Bowe-Gaughan house
hold until about two years ago, when
Gaughan began to drink heavily. He
told bis friend that he had trouble on
his mind and couldn't stand it any
longer. He aud his wife frequently
quarreled. Last Christmas Gaughan
was found dead in bed with a bullet
hole in his head. The Coroner's jury
brought in verdict of suicide. At
the time of his death Gaughan left all
his property to his only daughter. The
two other children objected and served
notice that they would contest the will.
1t is now alleged that the daughter
was daughan's only child, and that the
two brothers were Bowe's children.
Bowe and the double wife are still liv-
ing together.
