Two more weeks glided by with nothing
to mar this plighted love, at the end of which
the twenty lessons in French to the class
had been compelled, aud arrangements
We're suddenly made for leaving Salem,
Miss C'ibb0n TO be carried away as bride.
Application was made to Father Duean,
the Roman Catholic priest, of Salem, to
perform the ceremony, Mr.. Duval being of
that faith, but it is reported that he declin-
ed to selemnize the marriage, when the
determined couple Oh Thursday last HE'D
away to burlington, where Bishop OiFar-
rel, Of tue Roman Catholic Diocese of New
Jersey, tied the nuptial knot and made
them man and wife.
The announcement Of the union OF course
created hutter Of excitement in society
circles, and ever since it has been the one
topic of conversation. 1t was considered a
hasty match Subsequent developments.
however, have Disguised the people with
the Duyais, and they now term the mar
rage a great mistake.
On Tuesday evening the two brothers
came to this city from Philadelpeia in an
intoxicated condition. Alphonse Duval,
the husband Of Miss Gibbon, claimed he
was physician, and said that he was GO
ing to Denver to locate and practice his
profession.
1t was with difficulty that they were able
to navigate the sidewalk when they return
ed, and going into one of the barber shops
in their too hilarious mood, they soon be-
gan to expatiate on the prize that one of
them had secured in his union with Miss
Gibbop, saying that she was the most ac-
complished lady in Salem. and how she
wosld be missed.
From here they went to their boarding
house, at Josiah Smiths, on Fifth street,
where their intoxicated condition develop
ed into still more boistereus actions.
BY this time the sympathies and indigna-
ton Of the people had been aroused, and
threats were freely INDUCED of running
them out Of town, a few whispers of tar
and feathers being heard, it being announc-
ed that they were TO start by the first train
this morning for Denver. A number of
friends called and tried to dissaade Miss Glib
bon, or Mrs. Duyal. from so hasty depart
ure. Greater exertions were made to per
suade the mother of Mrs. Duval. who is an
old lady of about 50 years of age, from fol-
lowing her daughter, even il the latter was
determined TO 60, and especially from so
rash and unwise a move as to break up
their home and dispose of their property
For these kind offices 4 committee OF
Friends. of which religious society Mrs.
Anna Gibbon, the mother, is a membr,
made special efforts, but without avail.
In order to secure delay in their depart
ure with the hope that these better counsels
might prevail, Mr.. Josiah Smith, at the
suggestion Of some OF his friends, went be-
fore Squire Casperson and swore outa war
rant against Alphense and Louis Duval for
threatening language and disorderly con-
duet in disturbing the peace of the city.
Early this morning an officer armed with
the warrant went to the Gibbon residence,
West Broadway, arrested the defendants
and locked them up.
This afternoon a hearing was given them
at the Mayors Office before Justice Casper
son.
The Mayer s office was crowded with peo-
pie anxious to witness the hearing. a
number of witnesses were examined who
testified to the threats and disorderly con-
duct at Smith s house, one of the brothers
declaring that the other had been practic-
ing in gymnasium and that he could lift
400 pounds and that be could whip John
I. Sullivan. The defendants pleaded
guilty to the charges after 3 few witnesses
had testified, when they were fined S. each
and costs, amounting in all TO s24. and
warned By the Justice to get out of town
within twenty hours, to which eau
tion s'Dr-" DuTal readily responded that
it was not necessary, as they would only
be too glad to shake the dust OF Salem from
their feet. They did not have money
enough with them to pay the charges, but
paid a part, and in company with an Of
ficer. the doctor went to his wife's home to
get the balance. They soon returned, paid
the balance and both were released. and it
is presumed they viii leave town to-mor-
rev morning by the first train. The bride
