Made Acquainted Through n Newspaper

CINCINNATI, o., August 9.-There Ia
virtue in advertising, even for a cores
pondent Three years ago Guyon
Roberts, then chief postal clerk on a
western railway route, with headquar.
ters at Independence, Kas,, sent a "per-
sonal" to Cincinnati paper asking for
lady correspondent. For week alter
ward young Roberts mail was deluged
with letters from all part OF the country
from young ladies who had seen his
"ad." Looking them over, he was much
struck with the ladyllke and polished
letter from a young lady in Carlisle, Ky.
She was Miss Sake Adair, the daughter
OF g. W. Adair, a practicing physician
well known throughout the Blue Grass
country, and especially at Paris, KY.
Letters OF friendly nature were ex.
changed regularly between Miss Adair
and Mr.. Roberts, and about q year ago a
meeting was arranged for. 1t took place
In this city. The attraction and admir-
alton Of the two was mutual. An en-.
gagement followed, as matter OF
course, and each went homeward re.
joicing.
The year passed swiftly. Last satur-
day they met again and yesterday was
set tor the wedding day. Going back
to her home that evening Miss Adair
completed the marriage preparations,
and yesterday returned to Cincinnati
accompanied by her mother and a young
lady. friend, Miss Midnotte Stuart, Of

no doubt suspicious facts related US evil

Mrs. Maybrick added she had an in.
ward conviction that sho would not be

friendly to her arc making every effort
to obtain reprieve. II had, she consid-
cred, been ConClusively proved hy medl'

before the Home Office authorities, they

perfectly well was not In accordance
with tho feeling OF the general public.
Not a single member OF the jury was q

to st. Helens, and all the other Jurors
were drawn in from the different parts
Of the country. No one had held any
communication with them except the
waiter who served them with their meals
and his conversation was entirely on
business matters.
Mrs. MaybriCk's two children have,
since the commencement OF the prose.

They have been left in complete ignor-

three successive Sundays must intervene
between the sentence Of death and the

JoHNsrowN, Pa, August0.-Two more

OF the town. II is very evident that
there are yet great many more bodies

Notwithstanding this condition, 1t Is
likely that the force OF workmen EN-.

DEPEw'S AMBITION,
His Eye Fixed on the PresldenSy-Talls
that MRkss his Friends Smile,


New YoRK, August 0,-The talk about
ohauncey NJ, Depew resigning from his
places in the Vanderbilt system and 60
ing into politics makes his friends smile,
They know, what the midsummer gos.
sips do not, that Mr. Depew refused
offers by President Harrison OF place
In the Cabinet and Of the English Mis-,
slon-refusals unique in the history OF
the country.
President Harrison believed that the
acceptance by Mr., Depsw Of the Secre.
taryship OF the Treasury would end the
rivalry between Thomas O. Plat and
Warner Miller and would satisfy the Re-
publlcans Of this State as nothing else
would, and he was very anxious that
Mr., Depew should accept,
Mr., Depew refused the offer because
he could not reconcile 1t with his notions
OF duty and gratitude TO leave the Van,
derbilts, from whose father and grand.
father he had received such distin-
guished fayofs, and also the English
mission which the President asked him
to take soon after the Inauguration,
Mr., Depew could not sec his way clear
TO leave the Yanderbilts. lie was an
attorney at Peekskill with q small prac,
tiCe, when Commodore Vanderbilt found
him out and made him one OF the law
yers OF the New York Central. Since
then his abilities have caused his ad-
vancement until his income from his
earnings, In addition to his investments,
Is about $l25,000 year. He is Presi.
dent OF the Central, OF the Michigan
Southern and Of other corporations
under their control, an officer OF some
sort In all their enterprises, and trus-
tee Of many funds and estates. In each
OF his capacities he receives a fine salary,
ranging down from bis $26, 900 salary as
President OF the New York Central,
Even II he did not feel bound to the
Vanderbilts by close ties Of gratitude
this income might seem TO be a good
deal to give up,
Mr., DepeW, however, appears to have
an understanding with the Vanderbilts
that for the Presidency OF the United
States he may rellnquish everything and
leave them. A short time before he
went to Chicago, last summer, Mr..
Depew said TO an acquaintance In whom
he lad confidence: "The Presidency Is
a great prize. 1t is worth trying for 1t
Is the foremost place on earth, and a
man can give up everything for that"
.'Then you would take that and give
up your railroad buslness?"
Eyes; everything for that. To be
President is 10 be immortal, II Is tue
foremost place on earth and everything
sinks into insignllcanCe in comparison
with that"
Many Of Mr.. Depew's friends believe
that his ambition may yet be gratihed.

Make a Raid in tho Coke RsEiopS-Consid.
eFablo Damage Done,

PlTTsRvRaH, August 9,-Prlyate dis.
patches from the Connellsyille coke re-
gops report a gang Of 400 drunken Hun,
garisn coke workers on raid, They do
not seem to understand that the strike
was settle In their favor, and this morn
ing started out TO close up the works in
operation, They first marched TO More
wood and drove the men out then went
70 the Alice works, where they also
forced the men to quit work, They are
still on the warpalh, and when last
heard from were on their way TO the
Bessemer works. Considerable damage
was done az Moorewood and Alice, but
no one was seriously hurt, Among the
English speaking coke workers there Is
general rejoicing over the termination
Of the strike in their favor, The works
in the entire region will be in operation
next week,
A later dispatch says; The Hungar.
lans at Norwood refused 10 90 to work
this morning because they did not
understand that the strike was settled,
Hearing that the Alice and Bessemer
works were running they were formed a
hhwling mob OF about 800, and started
for these plants. The men at the Alice
mines were warned in time and fed.
Upon reaching the Triple the mob
tore doors OF aud started coal
wagons down the sleep TO
wreck them and block the entrance
80 that no coal could be hoisted. They
then went to Bessemer, and on the way
met John N, Dayton, who was riding in
Gbuggy. He tried to persuade them to
stop and return To work, but the in.
luriated mob overturned his buggy and
beat and cut him SO badly that bis life
Is despaired Of, The Huns reached
Bessemer aud went to the house OF an
old mau named Gilhoolyto look for the
mine boss, Failing 10 lind him there,
tho old man was beaten and the win.
dows Of his house broken. A man
named Love was also caught at the pit
mouth and treated in the same manner.
They next made descent upon the
store and after breaking the windows
and doors, carried of all the bread and
bologna they could find on the premises.
BY this time Secretary Watchorn arrived,
In company with James Keegan, another
OF the leaders. Watcllorn addressed
them and finally succeeded in making
them understand that the strike was
over aud In their favor. The Huns
then retired to their homes.
The operators and disinterested per.
sons say that but for the opportune ar.
rival Of Mr.. WatChorn the mob would |
not have left yestige OF the company's
property standing, and much blood |
would have doubtless been shed. The
whole affair was caused by q misunder.
