~ Her Riynl
Especial to the WonLD.l


ATLANTA, October 28--Isaac Har-
kins and wife were married in Charles
ton Monday and will leave tomorrow
for their home near Murphy, N. c..
Harkins is fine-looking Englishman
Of forty five. He was the son Of an
inn-keeper in Liverpool. He was in
great demand among mothers who
had manageable daughters over there.
One faxen-haired beauty enthralled
him and the pair were engaged. But
Harkins's mother had other views and
selected a buxom Manchester lassie,
Susan Bamblitt. Isaac's tickle heart
turned to her. Susan, believing his
protestations, yielded to her impetuous
lover without sufficient care for the
customary formalities. Then, when
the situation began to grow critical,
Isaac, turning back to his first love,
arranged hasty wedding and the pair
secretly sailed for America.
That was fifteen years ago. The
couple went to North Carolina, whore
they settled upon farm. IN their
new home they found prosperity, and
four children came to bless them. Mrs.
Harlins only learned Of her husbands
escapade years after. On her death
bed she called him to her and said:
'sNow, ! want you to promise that
you viii look up that poor girl, marry
her and bring her here, and let her live
in honor during the years that may be
left herr After the funeral Harkins
wrote home, making inquiries. His
mother, learning that it was her own
son who had wronged the girl, had
kept her as daughter. 1t was ar
ranged that Susan, with her child, a
bright girl of fifteen, should cross the
ocean and meet Harkins at Charleston.
There the wrong was righted. and
Susan, as his wife, is now on the way
to her new home, while the child has
at last met her father.

WNcHEsTER, VA, October Is
The smooth-tongued stranger, who APP
peared in Elkton, Nd, last week, and
also in Martinsburg 4 few weeks ago,
and ATTEMPTED to swindle the Catholic
priests of those places, answers the do
scription of rascal who appeared
in Winchester, and ~ his progresses
ing appearance and polished manner
deceived several leading citizens. on
the morning Of the above-named day,
Mr.. A. Magill Smith, principal OF the
Episcopal Female Institute here, re-
eeived from man signing himself
Alex. E. johnson, letter stating that
he wished to place his niece in the in
stitute, and requested Prof. Smith to
telegraph him at Harper's Ferry if the
young lady could be received. His
request was complied with. That after
noon an elderly-looking gentleman of
refined manners, giving the name of
Hon. Jas. B. Mcclure, of Washington,
and claiming to have relatives in Win
chester, appeared at the institute and
was received by the principal. He
appeared familiar with the name Of d
number of Mr.. Smiths friends, and in
gratiated himself into his confidence.
| In the course Of conversation the
stranger announced that he wished to
place his daughter in the school, and
after inquiring about rates, ETC., prom
ised to bring the girl next day but
before leaving offered to pay for one
term in advance, whereupon he took
from his pocket check for $500, which
he endorsed on the back and handed to
Mr.. Smith. When informed that 1t
was too large he took it back with the
remark that he made mistake in the
check, that this one was to be used in
payment for some land, and that he
would go to his hotel and get a smaller
one FROM his valise, Thereupon he
left.
Shortly afterward the sharper turned
up at the Valley Female College
where he introduced himself as til,
Hon. Alex. NJ. Johnson, of Washing
ton, and made known his business in !
similar manner. When he had made
arrangements for the schooling of his
daughter, he gave a check with which
to pay for one term, and the amount
being more than was required, the prin'
cipal gave him $40 in change.
Again, the same evening, he return
ed to the Episcopal Female Institute
with 5000 check, which the principal
accepted, and gave the stranger SIC
in change before leaving. When the
checks were presented at the banl
they were found no good; and the mar
| who gave them was beyond reach.

PATERSON, Oct. 2S.--The Park Com
missioners have, at the request of a
number of prominent citizens, recon
sidered their action relative to an offer
from Joseph jefferson, the famous
actor, to present four domesticated
deer for the Eastville Park. Last week
the offer was made through Jacob
Allen, Mr.. Jefferson's business manag-
err, but at that time the Park Commits
sioners concluded that they had no
accommodations for the animals in
either of the parks.
A special meeting was hastily called
which resulted in the adceptanceof the
deer. A long, narrow enclosure will
be built for the animals In the East
Side Park.
When ex-president Cleveland fitted
up his suburban residence at Red Top
he laid out the grounds in beautiful
manner. His wife was very fond of deer
and Mr.. Cleveland procured some for
her. Among the number were the five
Mr.. jefferson has offered to Paterson.
When Mr.. Cleveland broke up his
home at Red Top he gave the deer to
Mr.. jefferson.
