LOST A BRIDE BUT WON $40.
A Novel Wager in Which an Editress
torfeits a Stake Rather Than Wed.


ATLANTA, GA, Nov. 17-An event of
romantic character was developed here this
evening. The interested parties were Miss
Sallie McCutchen of Franklin and Sidney
Cook, editor and proprietor of the Calhoun
County Courier. published at Leary. They
had been to Augusta, attending the exposi-
ton, and while there became acquainted
with each other. The young lady was
accompanied by her brother, L. /.
McCutchen, editor and proprietor of the
Franklin Ne,cS. On the train to-day
between Augusta and Atlanta, Mr. Cook
commenced making love to Miss McCutchen
and in the course of his pleadings proposed
to her. She expressed doubt of his sincerity,
and he then agreed TO wager $40 bill with
her that she would not marry him when
they reached Atlanta. The young lady
said that she would place a like amount
that he would back out. The money was
placed in the hands of Editor Barker of the
Southern Star of Atlanta, who was
mutual friend.
SHE FoRFEITS THE STAKE.
When the party reached Atlanta they put
up at the kimball. Justice Henry Tanner
was caIied in TO perform the ceremony.
When the test was made Miss McCutcheon
showed an inclination to back out of the
agreement, and Cook pushed his claims,
claiming that she would either have 30
marry him or lose the forfel The anxious
to-be-groom then gave her five minutes in
which to make up her mind, or the money
would be his When tho specified time
expired Miss McCutchcon declined to be a
bride, and the marriage was declared
of. Cook claims the money and the stake
holder will doubtless have to give it up, as
Miss McCutchen has fully decided not to
carry out her part of the contract. Miss
McCntchen is the associate editor of the
Franklin AelOs, and besides being an accom-
plished writer, is very charming young
lady.

LORD CHURCHILL's ALL RIGHT
A Candid Admission that Sackville
Deserved what He Got

LONDON, Nov. II. 49, Lord Randolph
Churchill in speech at Paddington to-day
expressed hope that the post of minis er
at Washington would soon be filed. He
said there was no doubt that Lord Sack
vile had been primarily indiscreet and had
made an inexcusable bunder. No fault
could be found with the action of the
United States government toward the
minister.
AMERICANS JUST AND PROUD
The American people were essentially
just and proud in their relations with other
countries. He deprecated the insulting and
menacing articles which had appeared in
the English press since Lord Sackville's
dismissal, and said that Engishmen ought
to inform AMERICANS that they cherish no
i'll feeling toward them. CHEERS
IMPORTANCE OF FRIENDLINESS.
Lord Randolph attached the greatest i'm
portance to the maintenance by England of
an imperturbabe and friendly attitude to-
ward the United States. He regarded the
attitude taken by President Cleveland after
the rejection of the fishery treaty by
the Senate as an unfortunate one. The
utmost allowance ought to be made for the
American position on the Sackville affair
in view of tho time at which it occurred
President Cleveland's action has been
rather sharp, but it did not justify the
menaces, sneers and sulks in which news
papers of England had INDUCED.
WAR WOULD BE ATROCIOUs.
War between England and America, he
declared, would be more atrocious and dan
gerous than any war since God created the
earth. He trusted that the governments
policy toward the new Washington admin
lstration would be conceived with view
to making the American people our best
allies in all questions and to
producing a durable friendship
between the English speaking races, thus
guaranteeing to humanity in turn the bless
ings of liberty and peace. Lord Randolph
approved of the government taking meas
ures to repress crime in Ireland, and
strongly advocated restriction of the traffic

Among the visitors, the body of mon
which received the greatest attention from
the applauding spectators was the Bankers
and Brokers' Club of New York, who
marched TO the number of $50 behind the
inspiring music of Gilmore's band. Music
was plentiful in the line, and many pretty
banners were carried, but the inscriptions
thereon were exceptionally moderate in
tone for such an occasion. This was &C
counted for by an order issued by the chief
marshal prohibiting the carrying of any
improper or unseemly political caricatures
