a Painting Spell Ovsrcame Ter just
as the Ring Was Being Put On-The
Man in the Case a Member Of the
CITY Council Of Fernardina and
agent Of the Mallory Line.
FERNANp1NA, FLA, April 24-In this
CITY. at the residence of the groom yester-
CAV morning, Mrs. Thorpe, daughter OF
Col. E. R. Brink. formerly of Wilmington,
n. c.. was married to George R. Hubby, a
member of the city council and agent for
She Mallory steamship line.
Mrs Thorpe says that during ride yes
ke-dav morning with Mr.. Hubby, he drew
a pistol and threatened to shoot her if
she did not at once consent to
be married to him, and after oblig-
ing her to consent, ne said he
would shoot her at the altar if she made
any resistance or refused to go on with the
ceremony. He then drove TO his residence
ON Seventh street, and sent for Rev. Mr..
Cross to come and unite them. Mr.. Cross
went as requested and was met by Mr..
Hubby who handed him a license in due
form, which Mr.. Cross examined, and find
ing correct, he proceeded with the cere-
1nony.
THE BRIDE FAINTS.
During this time Mrs. Thorpe sat on a
lounge with her head resting on her hand
and apparently in deep meditation, but she
stood up at the request of Mr.. Cross and
made the response of the Episcopal cere-
nony without any sign of disturbance
bill after the ring was to be placed on her
finger, when she tainted. MIR. Hubby placed
his arm around her and adjusting the ring
laid her on the lounge and then told Mr..
Gross that the marriage was against the
wishes of her parents, Col and Mrs. E. R.
Brink. Soon after the ceremony Mr.. Hub
by went over to the Egmont hotel and in
formed Mr.. and Mrs. Brink of the affair.
FLEEs TO HER PARENTS.
Later in the day, while Mr. Hubby was
from the house and reaching the rooms of
her parents, when she informed them of
the means taken to induce her to marry Mr..
Hubby. She was then seized with mental
and physical prostration, necessitating med
zeal attention. Last night an application
was made to County Judge Schuyler for a
peace warrant against Mr.. Hubby, but
nothing further has been done in the mat
ter up to tonight. Mrs. Thorpe remains
Mr.. Hubby makes no public explanation of
the matter.
A PUZZLE.
The whole affair is very singular, in as
much as the parties had been much together
and public opinion was that affairs would
terminate in a much more satisfactory
manner. Mrs. Thorpe came here to reside
with her parents several years ago. in her
early widowhood, and her friendliness with
Mr.. Hubby has been through being much
in his society by residence at the same
hotel during that time. Col Brink, her
father, is confined to his room as the result
of an accidental fall. He was formerly
postmaster of Wilmington, n. G. and lately
secretary and treasurer of the Creosote

CHICAGO'S STRIKE CRAZE.
THE LOCAL LEADERS TO ATTEMPT
TO RESTRAIN IT.

It Was the Original Intention that
the Other Trades Should Remain at
Work While the Carpenters Were
Out-The Men of Every Branch Now
infected.
CHICAGO, April 24-The efforts of the
local labor leaders, it is stated this evening,
will be devoted, during the next week, to
an endeavor to restrain the strike fever,
which seems to have seized the working
men Of the city. Chicago was chosen as a
battle-ground on which the first general en-
gagement was to be fought, and the car
penters were placed in the advance line. 1t
was intended that all the other trades
should remain at work ultil the car
penters should have won. Trade after
trade was organized and declared
that it, too. must have an
eight-hour day. According to current re-
ports, a monster smonstration, which has
beea arranged for May 1 as an expression
OF sentiment only, may, it Is now feared,
turn into the beginning of a strike, which
the leaders will be powerless TO direct
much less control. Certainly many thou
sand strikers will be added to the carpenters.
The stock-yards and packing house employees.
star builders, mill carpenters, gas filters,
iron molders, and harness makers have al
ready announced their intention of striking.
Besides these, the tailors. shoemakers,
plaSterers, fathers, cornice makers, metal
workers, and many other lines of labor
seem determined to join the ranks
Inc ldIeness among the building trades
consequent on the carpenters strike is in
creaslng. The president of the brickIayers'
union called at the strikers headquarters
to-day, and said that less than 800 of the

SHAKEN BY AN EARTHQUAKE.
San Francisco Gets One of the LiveI les

San Francisco Gets One of the LiveI lest
Shakings in It's History.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 24-One of the
most severe shocks of earthquake expert
enced here for long time was felt in this
city and neighboring localities little after
$3.50 o'clock this morning. Buildings were
shaken perceptibly and persons were aroused
from their sleep. Plastering fell from the
walls in places but no serious damage is
reported.
A dispatch from Mayfield says that the
shock was very severe there. The railroad
bridge was rendered impossible, as the
piers sixtylfeet high settled a few inches
aud the rails spread about a foot. The
ground in places settled six to twelve inches.
Railroad travel will be delayed few hours
The earthquake was general in this Sec
ton of the state. The shock was very sharp
in this city but no serious damage was done.
The walls Of a few houses, including the
United States appraisers building, in which
federal courts are held, were cracked and
there was considerable alarm felt by per-
sons who were aroused from Sleep
The most serious damage is that reported
from Pajaro, where the railroad bridge
was thrown two feet out of line aud the APP
proaches to it damaged.
Gas mains were disjointed at Gilroy, and
many chimneys were thrown down in the
neighborhood OF Watsonville.
In some localities as many as dozen dis
tinct shocks were felt
