FORCE OF HABIT.
How it Helps to Swell Dividends of the
Bridge Stockholders-PeopleW Who For
ref About Free Sundnys,

How it Helps TO Swell Dividends of the
Bridge stockholders-Peoplew Who For
get About Free Sundays.
"Force of habit is great thing, and L
tell you it is more than a little bit instru-
mental in swelling the dividends of the
stockholders of the bridge companies in this
CITY,"
One of the toll collectors of the Smithfeld
street bridge made this remark the other
day to a DISPATCH reporter, and when he was
asked for an explanation. he said:
"You will hardly believe me, but can tell
you that it keeps me almost as busy on Sun
days to refuse peoples money as it does during
the week to take It in-and even then don't
always succeed"
How is that? Everybody knows that on
Sunday you don't charge toll for pedestrians."-
"Well. that is just it. OF course everybody
knows it. But good many people come up
day, and put down their cent as regularly as
you please. They are all aware of the fact that
we do not charge toll on Sunday. But man
comes along. absorbed in thoughts of some
kind or other; he notices the window, and sees
me standing behind it, and mechanically he
feels in his pocket for the copper. 1t is custom
that does it; habit, nothing but habit"
But If you always return the money, how
can it swell the stockholders dividends, as you
put it?'
THAT is Just it. You see most people have
their cent ready in their hand. They come up
to the window. slap down the coin. and off they
go. Sometimes, of course, if have time run
after them, or call them back. But l can't do
that all the time. The rush keeps on, and L
have to attend to others who come up to the
window. as well as watch for vehicles, and
that's how it is that we often take in over 81
from people whom we do not ask for it."

THE PRICE OF WASTED LOVE.
A $4,000 Breach of Promise Suit Brought
Against an Aged Widower.


ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
NEW YORK, March 4-Mrs. Mary Ann
Griffith is suing DR.. Joseph B. Bennett in
the Supreme Court, Brooklyn, for breach
of promise, and damages are laid at SIC, ,O00.
She says that soon after the death of his first
wife in February, 1888, the doctor, who is
66 years old, became very attentive to her.
She was a widow of 60, and had been ac-
quainted with him for some time before
his wife's death. In May, as Mrs.
Griffith AYERS, there was an agreement
that they should get married IS soon as she
could prepare her wedding outfit. Sud-
denly, and without satisfactory explanation,
DIR. Bennett discontinued his attentions and
broke off the match. Although the fact
is not mentioned in the complaint, DR.. Ben
nett. few months ago, chose another bride,
with whom he is living in Lafayette avenue.
A number of letters passed between DIR.
Bennett and the widow. She is addressed
as ''Dear Sis, in Love-" These are e1-
tracts from some of the letters:
"Please write me your thoughts. Let it come
feelingly and willingly know it will be pure.
Let your mind have its course without fear and
in the Lord"
Tuesday morning. Be, fixed Tuesday evening.
Is one boat large enough for US both?'
II think youATill do well to read more of
Esop's fables, or lay hold of the divine
nature" -
The plaintiff to-day explained her case to
Justice Platt and juryA DR.. Bennett will
be heard tomorrow. He will assert, it is
said, that the marriage was contingent on
his belief that he and the elwidow could dwell
together in unity, and tina t he broke off the
match just as soon as he became convinced
that they could not agree! and that disputes
were sure to arise between them.

That Street Bill Might Have Provided for n
Subway to oAdvnntage-What the Future
Holds Ont for 1t.
Councils having completed their work,
either for veal or woe, City Hall was rather
quiet yesterday, but little being heard ex-
cept the muffied tread of the tramp who gets
out of the rain and the man who is still
hungering and thirsting for the friend who
was so ELUSIVE on and shortly before the
10Th ult.
There was some animation about the Con-
troller's Office. 1t seems the new street bill
was enveloped in as much fog on the banks
of the Susquehanna as at the headwaters of
the Ohio, and the representatives of papers
charged with legislative reporting at Har-
risburg were lying in wait on all hands for
Controller Morrow, to know whether he was
for or s'forninst."
Then the bill requiring telegraph and
other kind of wires to be put under ground
came in for discussion, and this brought out
Councilman S. A. Duncan, whose hope for
the defeat of the bill rests in its radical
character. He stated that they now had
some 100000 worth of wires under the
ground, and that they worked well enough;
but there was constant danger of natural
gas explosions breaking Cnem, ana lcakV
steam pipes were liable to cause the wires
to corrode.
1t is suggested, and with good reason,
that the time is not far distant when ali
streets in cities will be tunneled sufficiently
large to allow the placing of all pipes
therein, and that surface drainage
will take the place of sewers. 1t must come
to that, or the streets in thickly crowded
places must be abandoned for vehicle traffic.
Even where an asphalt pavement is com.
pleted, where all improvements are finished,
there is no certainty that it will not be cut
open within week of completion.
If the devastation is to go on during the
next % years, a little arithmetic will show
that tunneling at once would be the cheap
est. Have the streets made once for all,
and have cesspools and all other kinds Of
filth taken away to a fertilizing factory,
and while the health of all cities would be
vastly improved, the nation would be spared
millions of dollars annually now sent abroad
for guano.
It Is true that, for years to come, con-,
tractors might riot in profusion; but, when
the work is once completed their occupation
will be gone forever, for the repairs to a
street properly made, and one which could
never be torn up under any pretense, would
be but trifing.

FANCHON'S SECOND.
A Statement That Maggie Mitchell Was
Married and Divorced Once Before
"A Romance of Loves

"A Romance of Loves
Young Dream.
CHICAGO, March 4.-For the first time
the fact will be published here tomorrow
that Real Estate Dealer Paddock, of
New York, the husband of Actress
Maggie Mitchell, from whom she is
now seeking a divorce for alleged
infdelity, is her second spouse and this is
her second divorce suit. The first divorce
was in Chicago and it is not believed that
Paddock himself knew of it.
Along in the fifties Miss Mitchell was
playing star engagement at Rich
mond, Va, when she conceived a
sudden romantic attachment for a
man, eloped with him one Saturday
night, was married and returned to her
mother the following Monday. The mother
disapproved of the choice, and had so much
influence over the daughter that the young
actress was persuaded never to live with
the chance husband.
Years afterward Robert Wilson obtained a
divorce for Miss Mitchell in a Chicago
court, and they managed the affair with
such quietness that the matter never ap-
peared in print. j. II. McVicker and his
manager, LouisS. Sharpe, were familiar with
the circumstances at the time. They say
that the big fire destroyed the afidavits and
other records in the case, and for that rea-
son it is a question whether Maggie Mitchell
ever since really regretted Chicago's great
calamity,

A wH1TE-HAIRED EwANDERER.
An Old Man on the Trainp From Franklin
County to Cation, O.

An old and decrepit man, with white
hair, white whiskers and general air of
seediness tottered into the Union station
last evening and asked for shelter
for the night. He said his name was
John Feltenberg, and he was on his way
from Franklin county, this State, to Canton,
O., where he had several sons working
on farm. He said he had worked in
quarry at Spring Run, near Chambersburg,
and, owing to some he art trouble, had to
quit. His wife died, and shortly after he
sold out what little furniture he had. The
money he received from the sale all went to
pay the undertaker's bill, and he was still
SO short of the necessary amount.
He wrote to his sons i'm Canton, and they
sent him $40 to pay his fare to where they
lived When he drew the money order out
of the postoffice he met the undertaker, who,
seeing he was to get $40, Immediately asked
him for the balance of the amount on the
coffin. The poor old M an could do nothing
else but pay over the money, and then he
started to walk to Canton.
He was eight days on the road from
Spring Run to this city; but, through the
efforts and kindness of Usher William
Stewart at the station! the crowd made up
enough money to buy him a half-fare
ticket to his destination.

zCIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.i
CHARLESTON. W. VA, March 4.-Not
to be behind the times, West Virginia had
few inagurations to-day ITSELF Promptly
at noon General Golf, the Republican can
didate for Governor and claimant to the
Office, took the oath in one of the rooms of
the State House set apart for the use of the
Governor. About the same time in another
apartment, President Carr, of the Senate,
took upon himself the prescribed oath, and
was prepared to transact the business Of the
Office. In his private Office, E. W.
Wilson, who had filled the position for the
past four years, continued in form, at least, to
discharge his accustomed duties, while in
and about the State House there was
gathered tremendous crowd Of people
about equally divided between the two
political parties.
About 1870 o'clock, General Golf and
several friends came into the Capitol and
proceeded TO the private Office of Governor
Wilson, who was also surrounded by num-
Der of his friends General Golf mounted
chair and addressed the crowd which had
assembled in the room. He claimed he had
received clear majority of the votes cast,
charged Speaker Wood, of the House of
Delegates, with having failed in the per-
formance of his Constitutional duties in
not declaring the result, and said:
1 am now ready in the presence of these peo-
pie of my State to kiss the Holy Bible. and
commit myself to>the destiny that awaits me
by virtue of the partiality of my fellow ciIi-
zens.
The oath was then administered by 81. G.
McWhorter, after which General Goff pro-
ceeded to Governor Wilson's private Office
and demanded possession. Wilson replied
that the Legislature has the exclusive right
to ascertain and declare the result of the
election, and no title could come from any
other source. He felt it his duty to con-
tinue in charge. President Carr made a
similar demand after taking the oath, and
was similarly refused. Thus matters stand.

A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.
Bishop Ryan Passes a Very Severe Criti-
cism on Bishop Coke.


ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
BUFFALO, March AIN Boston last night
Protestant Bishop Arthur Cleveland Coke,
of Buffalo, preached a sermon, in which he
attacked the Roman church for setting up
university in the Capital of the United
States.
A summary of DR.. Coxe's serpon was
shown Roman Catholic Bishop Stephen
Vincent Ryan this afternoon. He said:
"Bishop Coke is monomaniac in his oppo-
sition to the Catholic Church. He is so
radical, so absurd and false in his state
ments, that I think the best way is
to ignore what he says Certainly if
reply is deemed advisable it will have to
be carefully thought out and could not be
made on the spur of the moment. But so
far as the university is concerned, will say
that the gentlemen who are at its head are
fully as much in sympathy with American
institutions as Bishop Coke, and that one
object in planting the university under the
walls of Capitol, as Bishop Coke says, is to
show in the Capital City, at the seat of Gov
ernment, that our teachings are in faithful
accordance with the principles of the Re
public"
Bishop Coxe's sermon has created some
excitement i'll religious circles here.

A BEAUTY OF A BUSTLE.
Mrs. Harrison Wore the Finest Thing of the
Kind Mt the Ball.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE D1sPArcu1
NoRwALK, CONN, March 4.-Probably
the prettiest hustle ever shown in Connecti-
cut was made few days ago by Thomas P.
Taylor al. his factory in Bridgeport for a
present to Mrs. Harrison, wife of the Presi-
dent of these United States. Mr.. Taylor,
desirous of payinga pleasant compliment
to the lady of the White Huose, gave direc
tions to some of his best workmen to make,
without regard to expense, the most beauti-
full hustle that could be put together. The re-
suit was indeed beauty. 1t is Of blue satin,
trimmed with rich lace and furnished with
gold mountihgs, all the metal parts which
are exposed being of that precious metal.
The hustle being one of the folding kind,
the framework is made of delicate clock
spring steel, enveloped in blue satin.
Perhaps the other ladies at the inaugural
ball will not know that Mrs. Harrison
wears such an elaborate hustle as this. but
she will have the consciousnessof possessing
such a one as no other lady ever wore.

WHO OWNS y he DIAMONDS ?
A Niece of Chief J ns;ice Chase Involved in
Serious Trouble.

Serious Trouble.
NEW YORK, March 4.-Sarah G. Leland,
a niece of the late Chief Justice Salmon P.
Chase, was to-day committed for trial by
Justice Patterson, of the Jefferson Market
Police Court, in 900 bail. In default Of
that amount she was locked up, though she
claimed that she was suffering from hemor-
rhage of the lungs. Miss Elizabeth A.
Daily was the complainant against Mrs.
Leland. She charged her with stealing
pair of diamond earrings valued at 1915,
and of collecting S215 from one of Miss
Daily's tenants without accounting there
for. Mrs. Leland denied both charges.
She swore that the diamonds were her
own. and that she allowed Miss Daily to
wear, while Miss Daily delared that Mrs.
Leland bought them for her with her
money. Further, Miss Daily declared that
Mrs. Leland took the diamonds out of her
ears while lshe was sick, presumably for
safe keeping, and returned rhinestones in
their place.
Miss Anita Leland, daughter of the ac-
cused, gave damaging testimony against
her mother. She admitted that she had re-
hearsed the testimony she was to give before
her mother.

Fire Los.e. in One Year.

Chief Grow, of the Allegheny Fire De-
partment, presented his annual report at a
meeting of the committee last evening.
The expenditures were $s4.619 OS, and the
total losses by fire were S54, 1868 30, on which
there was an insurance of S49, ,264 80. There
were 152 alarms and 90 still alarms. The
report shows big falling off in losses which
is attributed to the efficiency of the fire de-
partment.

THE IRISH STAR Is RISING.
Rumored That Sensational Letters Have
Been Found on Pigott.

LONDON, March 4.-Numerous dispatches
have passed between the Government and
the British embassy at Madrid relative to
the papers left by Plgott. The special de-
tective sent to Madrid in connection with
the case will give evidence before the Par
nell Commission on Thursday. The Dub.
lin Freeman's journal says that among
Pigott' tt's.documents there were found letters
from Lord Salisbury, Baron Stalbridge, the
Duke of Argyle, and the Earl of Derby.
The letter of the Earl of Derby, the Journal
says, shows that he had given money to help
Pigott "unmask the Parnellites.
The Express says Gladstone is consider
ing the proposal to move in the House of
Commons refusal to vote a supply to the
Government, such refusal being tantamount
to the impeachment of the Ministry. 1t is
expected that 1000 persons will be present
at the dinner to be given in honor of Mr.
Parnell. 1t is probable that Earl Spencer
will preside.

his doubts of the possibility of opening
passageway, but said he was willing to make
the attempt After much exertion an opening
was effected in the crowd, and the
procession began its tour around the hall,
Colonel Cody (Buffalo BilD and Captain
Fred Bracket in advance, their herculean
shoulders doing good service in making
pathway, and followed by about
dozen committeeman preceding the
distinguished guests President Harrison
walked with General Cameron, Mrs. Har-
rison with Colonel Britton, and the other
ladies with their husbands. Vice President
Morton and party followed in the wake of
the President, but separated by considera-
hle space. Admiral Jouett supported the
Vice President.
CHEERING THE PRESIDENT.
President Harrison's appearance was the
signal for an outburst of applause and clap
ping of hands, which was kept up all
along the line of march. Slowly and labor
ousIy a narrow lane was made through the
dense throng, and President Harrison, STOP
ping at frequent intervals to allow those
ahead of him to force their way, marched
entirely around the immense court and
partly back again to the upper rooms. Here
the Vice President caught up with the
first part of the procession, and a Few min
utes later the whole party came out again
and were escorted by one Of the stair
ways to the first balcony, and thence to
their rooms. The President took the
pressure of the crowd smilingly, and bowed
his Acknowledgements in return 20 the
salutations of the ladies.
Before retiring to their rooms the Presi-
dent and Vice President, at the request Of
General McCammon, came to the railing of
the balcony overlooking the ballroom
and for several minutes watched
the gay throng moving below. An
other brief reception was then
held, and at 11:50 O'Clock the Presidential
and Vice Presidential parties, escorted by
the Reception Committee, left the building.
Cheers greeted them necessarily as they de-
scended the stairs and walked out of the
ballroom.
DANCING COMMENCES.
Large numbers of people left the building
Immediately after the departure of President
Harrison. and by midnight the floor was
sufficiently cleared for dancing. At
that hour the picture presented from
an upper gallery was indeed one of imposing
grandeur and surprising loveliness. The
brilliant toilets of the dancers, the thousands
Of silken banners, flags and streamers, the
stately garlands, wreathed columns, the rich
shade of the heavy damask, satin and velvet
hangings, the odor of the flowers, the music,
the food of radiance from thousands of col
ored lights, the great canopies of color over
head, all united to charm the senses and fill
the mind with wondering admiration.
The arrangements for this grand finale of
the Inauguration celebration have been adj
mirable. The attendance ESTIMATED at
10000 has exceeded that of any previous
inaugural ball, but with keen foresight
into the possible emergencies that might
arise, and with absolute thoroughness OF
method, everything seems to have been done
necessary to the comfort OF those attending.

Mrs. Edwards grew worse, and regular
