TRUE TO HER LOVE.
Romantic Story from a Missis-
sippi Town.
BLISS BROKEN UP BY A LETTER.

A Young Man who Let His Affection Get
Marries without Being on with His
other Wife and Has to Suffer the Conse-
quences-A Seventeen Year Separation
Happily Ended.
HAzLEHURsT, Miss, July 3-Jesse
Herndon about twenty-five years ago
came to Mississippi from La Grange, Ga,
was elected president of Liberty high
school, Amite county, and while there
won the respect and esteem of the whole
community. After teaching two terms
he resigned this position and assumed con-
troll of the school at Union Church, Jeffer-
son county. Among the people of this
small village was Mr.. Cato, who was the
happy father of a beautiful daughter. Be
tween the young professor and this hand
some brunette an intimacy soon sprang
up which ripened into love. In due time
they were married. For two years their
married life was a continued round of
joyous contentment, but soon to end.
The Letter That Came.
A letter did the work. 1t was from
woman claiming to be the wife of Hern-
don, from whom he was not divorced. To
the grief and modification of the wife of
two years Herndon admitted everything,
but pleaded his great love for her as an
excuse for his sin. Feeling that it was i'm
possible for him to maintain his former
position in the confidence of the people of
Union Church, the facts concerning his
first marriage having all been made pub
lie, the miserable husband carried his wife
and babe TO her fathers home, and soon
afterward left Mississippi to lead a varied
and sometimes reckless life.
No. g Waits for Him.
For several years he taught school in
Alabama and Missouri, and for a while
represented some prominent mercantile
firms AS travelling agent.
A few months ago he succeeded in get
ting divorce from his first wife in
Georgia, and Immediately wrote to parties
in Hazlehurst concerning the whereabouts
of his second wife. On receiving informa-
ton that she lived in Hazlehurst, and had
never married, he at once determined to
visit her. On reaching Hazlehurst he in
quired the way to her home, and turned
his steps thither.
Ans Well That Ends Well.
The wife of seventeen years ago, who
had not seen or heard from him during the
whole time. saw him as he WAS approach
ing Turning to her daughter, a bright
girl of II summers, she exclaimed: "Yon-
der comes your father" and tainted.
After brief conversation with his wife
and child, he walked over to the clerks
office, procured license and the services
of Rev. w. c. Caldwell, and they were the
second time united in matrimonial bonds,
the meeting, reconciliation, and marriage
all occurring the same evening

results of which were disastrous to the

SCRANTON, Pa, July 3.-The state DEM
ocratic convention met here yesterday
with full attendance of delegates and a
large crowd of spectators. The conven-
ton was called to order at 1890 Eckley
B. Coke was made temporary chairman,
and the usual committees appointed and
then the convention took recess Upon
reassembling the platform committee had
their report ready and it WAS unanimous
ly and enthusiastically adopted, especially
that part of it denouncing Senator Quay
and eulogizing Grover Cleveland.
Points from the Platform.
The declaration of principles approves
of ballot reform, tariff reform, and local
tax reform; demands that the state surplus
shall be invested in state and United
States bonds: warmly eulogizes Grover
Cleveland and denounces the present ad-
ministration rs vacillating and corrupt;
approves of bi-metallism; denounces Re-
publican gerrymHnders, and what it char
acterizes as ''Quayism;" generally roasts
the Republican congress, and especially
Speaker Reed and the new house rules;
charges upon the administration disregard
ioi civil scTNiCc EcforHi lHiluTe To PROVIDE
for the veterans, ceaseless efforts TO stir
up sectional strife, and general disregard
for the welfare of the people.
Harrity Permanent Chairman.
Ex-Postmaster Harrity was elected per
manent chairman, and then lively time
was had over the report of the credentials
committee, but the matter was finally
satisfactorily arranged by giving the "reg-
ulars" and "kickers" equal representation
on the floor. The trouble was in Blair
county. Nominations were then in or
der, and it did not take long to put ex-
Governor Pattison up for governor. The
convention went wild over his name One
ballot was taken. and though Pattison
had but 300 and Wallace 1872 il was moved
and carried that Pattison's nomination be
made unanimous

followed by one or two of the others, after
which three cheers were given for the

Want Pay for Their strike.

CHICAGO, July "a committee of three
representing the freight switchmen of the
recent strike. called on General Superin-
tendent Sullivan, of the Illinois Central
railway. yesterday morning to ask for
the payment of the regular wages to the
men for the four days and seven hours
they were out on strike. Mr.. Sullivan re-
piled that there was no principle of eaui.
ty by which they could make such de-
mand, and that the sum would not will
ingly be paid. He said it was highway
robbery pure and simple, and would only
be paid on written demand, as the alter
native of another strike

GOV. HILLS SPEECH

Put Pattison Up for Governor and Give

South Carolina.
INDIANAPOLIS, July Sit is conceded on
all sides that Governor Hill scored very
decided political point by his visit to In
dianapolis, and those Democrats who
looked favorably upon his aspirations be-
fore have been confirmed in their good
impressions, while others who had found
elections to him have been practically dis
armed of criticism. His speech was one
that appealed peculiarly to the Indiana
Democracy, and his manner of utterance
was so bold that hundreds who heard him
are comparing him with Hendricks. To
say that he is liked is to express the truth
mildly, for the majority who heard him
are simply enthusiastic over him.
A Minority View of the Case.
The opinion is that Hill would make a
strong candidate for the presidency A
small minority, however, deprecate the
entrance of Hill into the presidential
arena at this time, and say that while he is
able and no doubt worthy of any honor
the patry has to confer, it is conceded that
Cleveland is to be the nominee, and that
Hills entrance into the race can only re-
suit in an internecine quarrel in New
York, and hence jeopardize Democratic
chances in 1892. Extremists go further,
and declare that Hill turned the eeremo-
MES at the unwilling into political cur
rent.
The Gray-Hin Conferences.
The friends of Mrs. Hendricks say that
she was very much pleased with the gov
ernor and in presenting him with
one of MIR. Hendricks canes, actually ex-
pressed the hope that he would be sue
.cessful in his presidential aspiration. The
conference between him and Gray Is re-
garded as especially significant but the
latter's friends assert with great positive
ness that the subject of the political aspir-
ations of neither was mentioned, and that
the conference related chiefly to the con-
dition of the party throughout the coun-
try.

That Great Petition a Fraud.

LONDON, July 3.-The parliamentary
committee to.,whcse consideration the
monster petition of the publicans in favor
of compensation was referred, has advised
the house of commons to decline to re-
ceive it. The committee carefully ex-
amined the petition and finds many objee-
tions to its reception. The chief of these,
however, are the obscenity of its phraseol-
ogy and the palpable evidence of fraud in
respect to the signatures attached, a large
percentage of which is found by the com.
mittee to be fictitious.
