LOVE MADE HIM A CONVERT.
Why Professor Garner Gave Up His
lnfiuel Views.

BALTIMORE, Md, Sept. 21.-lSpecal Tele-
gram TO The BEE l-Somsthing of a sensa.
tion was created here when 1t was learned
that Dr. Samuel Garner, professor of Ian
guages at the United States military acad-
emy AT Annapolis, and Miss Emily f. Owens,
a very cultured lady of Baltimore, had been
married. There is a very interesting ro-
nance connected with the affair, the interest
in which has been intensified by the high
standing of both parties in the field of let
ters.
DIR. Garner was for q long time
connected with Johns Hopkins university,
successively as student assistant librarian
and instructor, and during this time had
|. formed the acquaintance of Miss Owens,
the daughter of well-known citizen of this
city, now deceased, and they soon became
fast friends.
There was only one barrier which pre-
vented marriage and that was the religious
differences of the couple. Dr. Garner was a
confirmed infdel, while the lady
was devout believer in chris.
tianity. She was firm and said
she would marry none but a christian. DR..
Garner could not bring himself to believe
the doctrines of christianity, and seeing his
pursuit of the hand of Miss Owens was
hopeless he determined to try to forget her.
With this end in view he went to the far
west. There, after while, he quite acci-
dentally became boarder in the house of a
minister of the Gospel. In few years,
however, Garner noticed in what perfect har-
mony the minister and his wife lived together
and then, for the first time, he began to
realize that perhaps it wa q better for man
| and wife to be christians than for them to
hold widely different opinions on religious
topics. He asked the divine to lend him
some religious books, which request was
gladly complied with, and iu due course
Samuel Garner became christian man.
BY corresponding with friends in Balti-
more he found that Miss Owens was
still unmarried. Letters were at once
exchanged between them and Mr. Garner set
OUT for Baltimore. The elimination of the
story was had Wednesday evening when two
happy hearts became one.

LastDay Camp.

BEATRICE. Neb., Sept. 2l.-[Specal to
The BEE. 1.-The National guards encamp-
ment of 1889 is thing of the past. The last
of the troops left this morning for their re-
spectlve homes. The boys were paid off
yesterday and last night they came down
town for hilarious time. The crowd was
largely augmented by lot of hoOdlums and
considerable noise was the result. John
Harper's place was visited in the early part
of the evening, and as he happened to be the
disgusted sutler of the earlier days of the
camp, the boys thought to worry him little
before their final departure. John met the
onslaught good naturedly, and the boys after
considerable yelling and cheering, with, how
ever, no evident purpose but fun, dispersed,
only to return about IL o. clock with increased
numbers. Harper fearing that there might
be disposition to do his establishment dam
age wisely closed the doors. After repeated
calls he reappeared and intimated
that he would protect his prop
erty at all hazards. Mayor Kretsmeyer
appeared on the scene at this juncture and
mounting a box addressed the crowd to the
effect that as they had hitherto conducted
themselves creditably, he hoped they would
do othing to forfeit their good name. He
enjoined upon them to enjoy their fun, but
let it be- confined to harmless fun. The
mayors talk had the desired effect and the
National Guard boys all crowded around his
honor to shake hands with him, promising
that they would not let their exube-ance
get the better of them. A couple of stall
wart sergeants at this moment caught hold
of the mayor and lifting him to their shoul-
ders carried hlm up to the corner OF Fifth
and Court Streets cheering him to the echo.
Some time afterwards crowd again gath
cred at Harper's with mischievous intent,
but were finally dispersed by Colonel Cor
rell who appealed to their honor and credit
as gentlemen and soldiers, and intimated
that the National Guards should not forfeit
the good opinion and name that they
had earned during the encampnent
thus far. Colonel Correl's address struck
the boys about right and they quietly dis
persed and the city was quiet the rest of the
night.
There was lively runaway on Court street
last evening, a team htched to large hay
rack being the operator. The rack collided
with street car and badly damaged il,
loosing the street car team that run on up
Court street to Ninth, when 1t ran into an
other street car knocking 1t off the track
and crippling the horses. The hay rack and
team kept on down Court street, ran into a
sand wagon, knocked the driver out and
broke his collar bone, and finally brought up
astrIde Of the iron rail between the roadway
and foot parts of the bridge. Both horses
were badly hurt and the hay rack completely
demolished. '' --t
