A Much Married Woman.
THE CHAMPION FEMALE BIGAMIsT OF THE
UNITRD STATES TURNS UP.

WnKEsBARRE, July 1.-THE cham
pion heart-breaker and bigamist of the
United States has been traced TO this
city. Her name is Marthina Hart.
She is aged 81 years and it is said has
no fewer than eleven living husbands.
Her home is some where in the West,
and for many years past she has travel
ed from State to State selling books.
While not good, looking, strictly speak
ing, Miss Hart has fascinating man
ner, which makes her quite a success.
full saleswoman. But her greatest sue.
cess is in capturing the hearts of the
opposite sex. As she came in contact
with men every day her circle of &C.
quaintances was very large. She had
no use for old men, however, for the
young men with plenty of money
found most favor in her eyes.
After she had found the man of her
choice she wanted to know if he meant
business, and if he did an early mar
riage was proposed. If he did not
mean business he had to make way fol
some other visitor who had more push
Directly after marriage Miss Hart
would ask her husband for a couple oi
hundred dollars, saying her mothe,
was sick and needed the money a,
once. OF course, the newly made hus
band could not refuse the request, and
the cash was forthcoming every time
This wonld be the last seen of the ash
or the bride.
In this way she deluded and victimi
zed many men. A man named Johr
Evans, arrived in the town yesterda,
looking for the woman. He said h,

so smitten with her charms that h

Thurman Undismayed by the Chicago
Ticket.

CoLuMBus, O., June 27.-In answer
to the question "What do you think
of the Republican nomination. Judge
Thurman said last night: 81 consider
it very strong ticket. I have no per-
sonal acquaintance with General Har-
rison, and thought Senator Shermans e
nomination would be the strongest one;
but, under the circumstances, the ticket
a. named is az strong as could have
been nominated by the Convention.
However, l do not believe that it is
stronger than its party, and therefore
do not see how it can be elected.
New York, Indiana and New Jersey
are naturally Democratic, and the
ticket named at Chicago cannot carry
any of these States. l have no fears
oi the result in November. We shall
have Democratic victory"

Pennsylvania, who are more highly

Mobbing a Chinese Enthusiast

BISMARCK, d. T., June 27.--When
Min Kee, Chinese laundrymau in
this place illuminated his place the
night following the news of General
Harrison's nomination for President a
white mob gathered and tore down
his decorations, smashed his lanterns
and threatened the enthusiastic Celes-
tial with personal violence.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. June 27.-Ex-
Senator Harrison said yesterday that
when the Chinese question first arose
in the Senate it was generally regard
as one of local interest, and there was
q disposition to adhere to the Fourth
of July idea that this was great
country, an asylum for the poor and
distressed of all lands, and the treaties
with China were also regarded as hav.
ing a weigh not to be overlooked. He
admitted that later in his Senatorial
career he had changed his views on
the subject.

How the Blaine "steerers" Operated.

Mr.. Charles Emory Smith, who on
Sunday night last was appointed one OF
the Blaine "steering" committee to di.

Convention, thus talked to correspon-

ticket had been nominated, adding
that Harrison was his personal choice
after Blaine, and that he had been ad-

for two months back. "We had abso.
lutte power to direct the forces and

we could signal each other by simply

Cardinal Manning and Leo XIII.

LONDON, Jan. 23-It transpires that Car
dinal Manning has recently written a num-
Der of letters to the pope with view Of dis
suading the holy father from interfering with
the Irish Roman Catholics in their struggle
with the English government for home rule
for Ireland. Concerning these letters The
Chronicle says they undoubtedly have had
some effect, but their influence with the vat
lean has fallen far short of the cardinals
expectations. The best results he has been
able to obtain, The Chronicle asserts is the
not very positive assurance that the pope
will not publicly condemn the course of the
National party, but will content himself with
giving private and detailed instructions to
the Irish bishops as to the future conduct of
themselves, the clergy and the faithful laity

watching the count In his cross-examina-
ton he said that he had never associated with
Perkins; that he had never trusted him In
politics, and that no one else would trust
him. He denied that he had ever kept a
gambling house, or had been interested in
one. II never played game for dollar In
my life, he said, @and you can't produce a
man who will say have" He confessed,
however, that he rented the room over his
saloon to be used for gambling purposes, and
it was so used.
w. ]. Craig, editor of the Sentinel, cor
roborated Spaan and Coy regarding the OBJ
ject OF their visit to room so on Friday
morning during the canvass. He said that
Coy camo to Span and asked regarding a
point of law. and that they left the room to
look up the matter inviting him to acorn
pauy them, but he declined. Coy and Span
were absent but few moments, and the wit
ness saw no tally papers in their possession
at the time.
During tho day ia witnesses were exam
ined and 10 of these were called on reputa-
ton. Gentlemen who have served with Coy
in the city council bore testimony to his in
tegrity and uprightness, and when asked in
cross-examnation if they had heard him ad-
cused of putting "jobs" through that body,
the witnesses denied that he was ever so en-
gagged, and stated that such charges had
their origin in partisan malice.
The evidence is nearly all in.
Rock Island daily Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1886-1893, 1888-01-25

THE Knowlton manufacturing com
pany, a very extensive concern in Rock
ford, dealing in agricultural implements,
has decided to go into liquidation. The
cause assigned is an Improbable business
caused by over production and the war
tax upon raw material. The manager Of
the company stated that were it not for
this last consideration the business would
probably be continued. AS it is the high
tax so increases the cost Of agricultural
implements that the market is restricted
to this country, causing over production.
1t is the opinion of the manager that were
the tax on raw material removed or
greatly reduced, the eastern manufacture
ers would find the greatest profit in sup.
plying the foreign market, while those in
the west could supply the home trade,
As it is now, the big eastern concerns are
enabled to outsell the smaller western
manufacturers in their own market.
There is gradually arising a division of
opilion among manufacturers as to the
benefits that an excessively high protec-
tive tariff confefs even on them. As to
the injury it inficts upon the consumer
there has never been any question,
