A TALn OF TWO COASTS.

Married for Fun in New York and
Welded in Earnest in San Francisco.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.
Among the passengers for Portland who
left this city yesterday morning on the
steamer Oregon were Mr.. and Mrs. Morris
Curran. You might have seen them stand
ing on the upper deck. had you been at the
dock when the Oregon steamed out into the
bay. She is a small, dark-haired, dark
eyed woman of less than 80; he a portly,
well-dressed man of less than 40. They were
bride and groom, on their way to Portland
to spend the honeymoon. Twice before she
had been married; once before he had called
her wife.
Theirs is strange story. Ten years ago
they were we'd, but this is their first honey
moon. Both were born and reared in New
York city. Ten years ago on board a
dancing barge in New York harbor they
met for the first time. 1t was a picnic.
Young Curran was gay with youthfulness
and WINE.
81 wait wife" he said after the dance.
And want freedom from stern parents"
said she. "How better to secure it than by
taking husbands Tll-a-well-n
Come. don't hesitate; here's a man who
will splice u.s." And spliced they were then
and there, Doth looking upon the matter as
huge joke. The maiden's father, who had
been anchored in the wine room before,
came into the cabin just as the ceremony
was concluded. John Murray-for that
was his name-was dumfounded, for he
recognized in the half-tipsy individual who
had unthinkingly tied the knot an old
political henchman. a man fully qualified to
otficiate. 1t was legal marriage. An up
roar, q fight ensued. But broken noses and
torn garments do not annul marriages. The
divorce court did, however, and that very
shortly, the criminal lawyer, Charles
Spencer, being employed by the irate
father.
Ten years later the bride Of moment
found herself widow in San Francisco,
with two children and an aged father to
take care Of. For a while they lived on
Tehama street, then they moved to Bran
nan street, near Seventh. For two years
they had been ON the golden coast, but their
life was anything but golden, for poverty
had found John MURRAY liz his old age.
fer name was Mrs. Murray Driscoll, and
she signed it in full to the little note she
wrote to the agent of a certain building
here, asking that she might be appointed
janitress.
The same portly, well-dressed man that
accompanied her to Portland yesterday
called on her the next day. The little
widow colored with pleasure; surely she
should have the place now.
You are a widow, believe, Mrs Dris-
collp" was the first business question.
MY husband died three years ago."
"You are from New York;"
"Yes, sir. We knew better times there,
SIR"
Were you ever married beforei"
why, no-yes-that is-why, you see
-" and she hesitated as the recollection Of
her girlish prank came back to her. Then
gathering courage:
"You see. 1t was only joke, SIR. was
married once before to a young man named
Morris Curran, but"
II am that young scapegrace's older self, 4"
said the agent and then there was a scene
The courtship was brief. and now they are
off on their honeymoon.

A MuRpERRH TURNED LOOSE.
Crawford Dealt the Fatal Blow on
Account of as Cents.

Account of IS Cents
ALBANY, GA, June 12.-Wsrren Craw-
ford. the negro who killed Nathan Mercer
at Piney Woods creek Wednesday evening,
had his commitment trial before Justice
FIR. Robert in this city to-day. After
hearing the evidence the justice released the
prisoner, claiming that the evidence was not
sufficient to bind him over. 1t seems
that Mercer gave the negro 25 cents to
carry some goods out to his place at vines
mills. Crawford being in town with his
wagon and Mr.. Mercer in his buggy. lt
was reported that Warren, who lived on
MIR. Ford's place, had been stealing Fords
corn and that Mercer knew something
about it. After leaving the city the negro
tried to persuade Mercer to say that the
corn was bought.
BEGINNING OF THE TROUBLE.
In the argument that followed Mercer
cursed the negro, who said that he would
not haul goods fer a man who cursed him.
Mercer told him all right. but TO give him
back the money paid him to haul the goods.
The negro said he had spent it. Mercer
said be would cut enough meat off side
that belonged to the negro to pay himself,
and, pulling out his knife, attempted to cut
the meat. The negro tried 60 prevent
it, but Mercer insisted, and the
negro then took up piece
of fence rail and dealt Mr.. Mercer the fatal
blow. Many citizens are very indignant
over the release of the prisoner by Judge
Robert, and said that he ought at least to
have bound him over for an investigation
by the grand jury. A warrant was sworn
out for the Negroes rearrest, and he Will
soon be behind the bars again.

A SUIT OVER LEASE.

ATLANTA, GA, June 12.-An unique
damage suit is on trial in the superior court

leased plat of ground from John Warren
and thereon erected building. A short
while after the completion of the house Nc
Allister had a personal difficulty with a
man named Oshalds. at whom he discharged
a double-barreled shotgun. The shooting
landed McAllister in the penitentiary, where
he served several years. At the termination
OF his sentence he returned to Atlanta to
lind that his landlord, Warren. had sold not
only the leased land, but the house built by
McAllister along with it. Hence the plea

THE WONDERFUL PECOs SOIL.

Responsible for Rocky Mountains and
the Feet of Chicago Girls.
have just read your account from Colo
RADIO Springs of the very remarkable force
given to an olive seed by box of soil taken
from the valley of the Pecos river in New
Mexico and deposited in the cellar of q
naturalist during last winter, writes Sol
Robinson of Texas to the New York Sun.
As my cattle range is in the valley of this
same river, down in Texas, I have seen so
much of the wonderful effects of this virgin
soil upon both vegetable and animal matter
that can easily believe every word of your
correspondents story. The only difference
l see is that the lower down the Pecos river
you go the stronger and mightier the soil is.
To this fact the sale of the territory of
New Mexico by Texas to the United States
is attributable. In an early day, when the
plains across which this curious river passes
were known only to wild animals and Texas
rangers. the Texans discovered that above
line which now separates Texas aud New
Mexico the soil seemed not so good as below
it, and as Texas didn't want any but first
class land, she disposed OF that territory.
Since then the superior soil of Texas over
New Mexico has forced up the soil of the
latter until very high range extends from
the east to the west aud this range will no
doubt in time reach the same hight as the
Rocky mountains.
have often thought that it was the force
of this soil that pushed up from these
plains the Rocky mountains themselves. No
doubt it was this exertion which gave the
New Mexican soil the exhausted appear
ance mentioned, but for fear of being
charged with heresy / haven't had the
courage to say so until now.
Among some of the small things done by
this soil mention that by simply grazing
upon it many Of our cattle have very large
feet, which have to be trimmed with pom
derous machinery before shipping to market
to save freight II also said that on account
of so many Of our Pecos valley cattle having
been driven through the streets of Chicago,
sufficient of this soil has been deposited in
the streets there TO produce type of big
footed women TO be exhibited at the worlds
fsir as one of the many singular things that
remarkable city has to show.
Practical results in horticulture will be
obtained from our valley of the Pecos in the
near future, as a railroad has been built a
part of the way upit, and several irrigation
bitches opened. And it has already been
demonstrated that few sacks of seeds sent
up the road one week will return the next a
train load of fruits and vegetables superior
