MARRYING HIS BUSINESS.
Justice Murphy of Chicago is Getting
Rich at 1t.
from The Chicago Herald.

From The Chicago Herald
Justice Murphy's marriage shop, that re-
markable adjunct of the county clerks
office, is doing thriving business these
days. Whether it Is the deligh tful weather
or Murphy's method that drives scores of
happy lovers into the little parlor that has
been set aside for Murphy's exclusive use, is
not known, but it is a fact THAI he is tying
as many marital knots as all the justices of
the peace in the county put together. There
is nothing in the grimy surroundings of the
Office that would induce a bride
and groom to join hands forever
there, 50 the success of the enterprise
must be put down to Murphy's ability
as a hustler sand his powers of fascination
AS an Office Waterman, drawing $50 a
month from the county treasury, he has
carte blanche about the premises. He can
stand at the marriage license window and
discover whether an expectant groom is ac-
companied by an expectant bride, ald when
he has satisfied himself on this point he can
take possession of tho big door aud bar the
egress Of the happy couple as they are
tripping away. And nobody interferes
with his business. He is an officer of the
county and an employee of the Office, and it
Is an accepted rule that he is simply per-
forming the duties for which he draws $50 a
month.
Very few couples escape through Muir
phys clutches, unless they have prearranged
with some minister to perform the cere-
mony, and not infrequently Murphy capt
ures some of these by bidding so low that
the bridegroom cannot resist. His scale of
prices is very elastic. He will take any
sum from dollar up, and it is claimed that
he has even taken plugged half dollar
rather than let his game get away. Muir
ply has every convenience Co make the
enterprise a success. He has the good will
of the county clerk, the cooperation Of the
man who makes out the marriage licenses
and little private room, of which, thou IN
it occupies space that is sadly ne eded
for the regular requirements of the
office, he holds the only key. This
room was arranged solely with a
view to meet the exigencies of
Murphy's business. Besides door that
leads from the main office through which
all lovers pass, there is another door leading
to the hall outside. This is the exit MUIR
ply, in the kindness of his heart, thought
that blushing bride end groom wouldn't
care TO face curious crowds that always
throng the outer office. So be arranged for
this exit Into the dark corridor whore they
could escape without being seen. 1t was a
bit of delicacy that many hundreds have
appreciated. Some persons. however, have
been bold enough to say that 1t Is only a
scheme Of Murphy to thwart the peeping
Toms who undertaSe to keep q close watch
on his business with view of estimating
his earnings. If the latter theory is cor

PEACE AT SOUTHAMPTON.
THE STRIKE LEADERS URGE THE
MEN TO RESUME WORK

a Small Advance in Pay offered g
Fortnight = go Accepted-Meny Ofthe
Strikers Not Inclined to Surrender
The Number of Troops on the
Scene Reduced.
SOUTHAMPTON, Sept. 1.-The strikers
here were more Iiet this morning, and no
riotous demonstrations were made. The
police authorities have issued an order for
bidding the holding of professions. and the
leaders Of the strikers have promised 10 see
that it is obeyed. At a conference of the
strikers this afternoon it was decided 70 re-
turn 10 work on the concession offered a
fortnight ago.
THE STRIKE UNAUTHORIZED.
In an interview after the conference one
OF the dockmen'S leaders, named Mccarthy,
said that the fact that the strike had begun
without the authority of the London ex-
ecutive had killed all hope of success. The
men had been warned against precipitate
action, but they chose to disregard that
advice. The executive had telegraphed
that no strike pay would be sent TO the
striking dockmen. and that If they con-
tlnued the strike they must rely upon local
aid. Mccarthy strongly condemned the
Southampton union for acting against the
advice Of the executive.
BURNS ON THE SCENE
John Burns has arrived here from
London with further instructions from the
executive regarding the handling of the
strike. The decision of the conference to
resume work is fiercely opposed by a strong
majority of the strikers, ands their final de-
csion has been postponed until tomorrow.
The concession means a raise of penny an
hour. The question OF employing non
union men is left open.
PERISHABLE CARGoEs UNLoADED.
The dock company has managed to have
all perishable cargoes unloaded. This and
other work that was urgently necessary has
been done by men whom the company re-
tanned on the docks, and strikers " ere not
employed.
The German steamer California, from
Hamburg for New York, which put back
here week ago with three of her propeller
blades gone completed her repairs to-day
and proceeded on her voyage.
Troops are still in attendance at the
docks, but their services are not needed.
URGED TO RESUME.
At mass meeting of the strikers tonight
Mccarthy and other speakers emphasized
the fact that the men were able to resume
work without being subjected to any pun
ishment, and that their return would not
involve any loss of dignity or prestige on
the part of the union. 1t would be en- act
OF folly, the speaker held, for the men to
continue TO throw themselves against cold
steel. 1t was better to lose small battle
now than a greater one hereafter. 1t is ex-
pected that the influence of Burns will
smooth away the irritation that still exists
and secure a return OF all the men.

Two Boys and Two Girls Leave Their
Pittsburg HON 90 for Cleveland.
CLEVELAND, OHIO. Sept. 9.-tour youth
full clippers from Pittsburg and Allegheny
City, who have been in Cleveland since
Thursday, were arrested to-day. They are
Frank Levi, aged l6, the son of bookseller
Mamie O'Neal, au orphan, aged 10; Irwin
Hageman, aged l6, aud Sadie Cation, aged 10.
Both lads secured ladders, and at mi
night last Wednesday visited the respective
homes of the girls, who had made prepare
tions for leaving. The girls climbed down
the ladders, although they might as well
have fed from the door, save for the ro-
nance of the thing, took carriage which
had been kept In waiting, and were hurried
to the depot, where a train for Cleveland
was taken. Arriving in this city the boys
secured two rooms at 3 Howe street, one
upstairs and the other down. The girls
occupied the upper room, while the boys
kept the lower one.
Mamie O'Neal was about to be placed in
convent. She told her sorrows to her
friend, Sadie, and their lovers were taken
into their confidence. The quartet decided
on running away.
They refused to talk concerning them
selves and avoided the presence of every
one. The neighbors grew suspicious and
notified the police The children mad money
sufficient to pay all their bills and seemed
perfectly contented. This morning officers
went TO the house. They found the
boys in bel aud asleep. They declined to
Talk, and it was not until they were ordered
to get up and dress and were ushered into a
room where sat the girls that anything
concerning them was learned.
The boys were the first to break down,
and, amid sobs and tears. told the story. All
were taken to the Central station, where
they will be held until their parents can be
communicated with. The woman at whose
house the children have been staying, saws
that they have conducted themselves prop
erly IN every respect.

CARDINAL SLIGHTRD.
Royal George Offends the Canadian
Prelate.

OTTAWA, CAM, Sept. 6-Quebec is enjoy
ing a frst-claSs sensation involving the
names of several personages very high up
in the social, political and clerical scale.
On Thursday Lieut.. Gov. Anglers gave a
grand ball in honor of Prince George, who
is now there with his man-of-war, the
Thrush. The governor general, members
of the cabinet, the consul of the United
States and every other country represented
were present, but Cardinal Taschereau was
not there-not because he was not invited
but because he felt himself sighted, and
declined the invitation. Cardinal Tascher-
eau contends that he takes precedence over
the governor-general, the admiral of the
feet and the commander of the British
troops in Canada. He learned, however,
that these dignities refused to recognize
this rule of court etiquette and insisted
that%-his eminence should take back seat.
He had another grievance. The prince
had not called upon him, and feeling that
he was not accorded the amount of con-
sideration his high position entitled him to,
declined to attend the ball. Every effort
was made to keep the unpleasant
affair quiet. but it leaked out through
some channel, and Quebec has something to
talk about.
Lord STANLEY was greatly exercised over
it, and requested that nothing be said about
it. The cardinal will not make any state
ment for publication, but says that it is true
Prince George did not call upon him as is
customary with officers of the fleet. 1t
appears to have been an oversight on the
part of the prince, who has been in hot
water with some one ever since he first
entered Canadian port with his cruiser.
AT Halifax he had some Misunderstanding
h he
and now that he has given offense to the
cardinal he fears that it will be attributed
10 an intentional slight against the Catholic
church.

PHOSPHATE IN THOMAS.
THE STATE BIOLOGIST CONFIRMS
THE RUMORs.

Many of the Deposits Declared Richer
than Those of South Carolina He
Advises that They be WOrked-The
People of the County Just Realizing
Their Luck
TOWNSVILLE, GA, Sept. 1.-THE first
report of State Geologist J. W. Spencer,
under the new act reorganlzlng
the geological bureau. was made 10
Gov. Gordon to-day. 1t is in
reference to the phosphate deposits in
Thomas county, which, he SAYS, contain
from 90 TO so per cent. Of phosphate OF
lime, making them richer than the South
Carolina deposits He says the bed is best
exposed three miles west of Boston, on the
Thomasville road, although the deposit is
seen at very few points on the
surface. - The richest deposits exist
at depth Of from four to ten feet below
the surface, and some of them are ten feet
thick The percentage of both clay and
iron is low Five hundred tons to the acre
are necessary to pay expenses, but IN
Thomas county he thinks 10000 tons to the
acre could be removed in some places, he
thinks the deposit is very rich and should
be developed.
THE COUNTY EXCITED.
The Thomas county phosphate excite
ment grows apace. A number OF people
who were doubters have visited the now
famous deposit eight miles east OF Thomas
vile, and most of them come back CON
verted- Some are even. enthusiastic, ana
proceed forthwith to search for phosphate
on their own lands, with the invariable re-
suit Of filling their wallets with specimens
of rock. The very doubtful hitherto even
are weakening and admit that 1t begins TO
look as if there was something in it.
COL MITCHELL's VISIT.
Col. T. c. Mitchell, the owner of the Nit
chell house, with Others visited the above
rnenti oned deposit yesterday. He says now
that if it we're his S25. 200 could not buy it.

the place two years ago. William Eason,
of the firm of Reese & Eason, of this city,
owns the land adjoining the Foy place.
There is an extensive deposit of rock
on the Eason land, said to be very
rich in phosphate. If this is true: Mr..
Eason's land is considered easily
worth 100000.
The whole country, it may be seen, is be-
coming intensely wrought up. So far moth
ing is absolutely certain to the uninitiated,
but everything points to sincerity on the
part of those on the inside

CHAMBERLAIN, S. OAK, Sep. 3.-An in
teresting story comes from the Crow Creek
reservation. badly crippled veteran of
the civil war, now a settler on the reserva-
ton, has just received intelligence which
makes his heart glad. About fourteen
years ago, while this man. B. F. Balch, was
li-ing in Missouri, his little girl, then s
years old, was stolen fro n his home by some
unknown persons, and for years, al
though much time and money was
spent in the search, no trace of
the lost one could be found. A communi-
cation of Balch's to the authorities at Wash
iugton regarding his pension was recently
published and caught his daughters eye,
who has been residing IL Texas. She at
once opened up communication with Mr..
Balch, and by the aid of pair of earrings
that she wore at the time she was abducted
has convinced him beyond all doub. that
she is his long lost daughter The delight
of the father can better be imagined than
described, and he can hardly wait until her
arrival, she having left Texas to JOIN her
father in his reservation home
