Great Gathering of Bicyclists.
Although Washington will be tho scene Of tho
annual meeting Of the League of American
Wheclmen for the purpose of electing officers
and other business this year it is quite certain
that the city will not be chosen as the place for
holding the annual meet Of the organization.
Efforts have been made at various times to
rouse interest enough in the ranks Of the local
wheelmen to insure the bringing of the meet
here once more, but without success and the
latest attempt Of this sort has had the same
fate. The meeting will be held on the 10th of
February. and then the question of the place
for the meet will be decided. Mr.. George s.
Atwater, the chief consul of this division, told
STAR reporter this morning that Detroit will
undoubtedly be selected. The east has been
favored with the place of the meet for the past
three years and the westerners are now making
tremendous effort to reverse the order OF
things. 1t il expected that the league will not
consider any other cities in view of this senti-
ment. Washington il always the first choice
OF majority of the members Of the LAW,
but the lack Of local effort sufficient to insure
successful meet has always prevented the selec-
ton of this city. Still, it is expected that the
holding Of the annual meeting here will tend to
arouse a certain amount of enthusiasm among
the local wheelmen that may be useful in the
future for the purpose Of getting the meet held
hero.

A STRAw-BAIL CASE,
What an Examination of Mr.. Ruffin's Sure.
ties Showed.

What an Examination of Mr.. RufHns Sure
ties Showed.
Robert D. Ruffin, who is charged in the Grim
inal Court with false pretenses, was called this
morning to plead to the indictment and failed
to appear. His bond was forfeited and judg-
ment for $500 entered up against him and his
surety, Agnes Robinson, a clerk in
Ruf6n's Office. A bench warrant WAS
issued and Rufin was brought in court
in custody of Deputy Marshal Joyce.
C. c. Cole appeared FOR the accused and the
forfeiture OF the recognizance was ordered to
be set aside. Agnes Robinson was again offered
her property, and during the examination it
was developed that the title to the property
had been conveyed to Ruffin. She claimed
that she paid cash for the real estate, which she
valued at $1,000. and was unable to
tell the court where she had obtrined
the purchase money. She afterward
admitted that she had paid nothing for the
property. The assistant United States attor-
ney will canse an investigation to be made of
the matter. When in the Police Court sine
made an affidavit that she was worth go 600 in
real estate.
VIM. II. Thomas was offered as surety and
developed the fact that certain property. to
wit, lots q and %, in square IT'S. had been con-
veyed to him without consideration, and that
he had no personal interest in the property.
Ruffin was committed.
Subsequently new bond in $500 was given
by the defendant.

The Young Man Who Married Miss Porter
Gets Warrant for Her Father.
Mr.. ]. J. O'Brien and his father-in-law, Mr..
VIM. ID. Porter, are apparently on no better
terms today than they were when the marriage
OF the former to the latter's daughter was an
nounced last August. Yesterday the son-in-
law took q step that is likely to end in an in
teresting Police Court trial and public Illus
tration Of unp1essantness Of life when mar
riage contract is entered into against the wishes
of the fair ones parents.
Young MAN AFRAID OF HIS FArHER-IN-LAw.
What Mr.. o Brien did was to swear out .
warrant charging his father-in-lax with having
on the 18th day Of last month made threats of
personal violence toward him. and in order to
make out his case he will have to tell Judge
Miller how much he is afraid of his father-in-
law.
The clandestine marriage Of Mr.. O'Brien and
Miss Porter, who is grand niece of Admiral
Porter, occurred in August. O'Brien had
been employed as hotel waiter, and il was at
tho hotel, it is stated, that Miss Porter, who
him.
WHAT LOVE PAINTED HIM.
In letter sent here by Mrs O'Brien after
her marriage she described her husband in the
following words:
He is handsome, being Of refined manner
and soft, gentle, loving ways, and my hungry
heart could not resist him. He is not unedu-
Gated and is even Of noble blood. He is natur-
ally not millionaire and was obliged to take
the first job he could get He is general
favorite and even my family will be proud Of
HIM. He is going to start as . newspaper re-
porter"
Mr.. Porter, her father, was dissatisfied
with the partner whom his daughter had

come to him and expressed his intentions in
advance of the marriage. my home is always
open for my daughter" he said at the time,
land if she desires 10 return nothing shall be
said of the unhappy matter, but she must re-
turn alone and leave the man who has SO basely
deceived her and u.s.
The warrant will probably not be served I'M
til after tomorrow, as bail cannot be given I'M
der the law for his appearance until the case
reaches court.
