THE MEN GOT MIXED.
An Active and Ready Ex-Soldier Marries
Another Mans Bride.

An Active and Ready Ex-SoIdier Marries
Another Mans Bride.
A couple from the Eccleshall neighbour
hood went to Stafford last week with the in
tentiOn of being married at the Office OF the
Superintendent Registrar (Mr. w. Morgan)
They were accompanied by another man
an eX-soldier with several medalS-and
women as witnesses. As the formaities
proceeded, the men in some way got mixed,
and the declarations which should have
come from the intended bridegrOom-a
cOuntryman-were actually made by the
more active and ready soldier, who also
produced the ring aud placed it on the
Woman's finger. IL was only when the
register came to be signed that the mistake
was discovered, whereupon the parties
wished the ceremony repeated in its intended
order, but Mr.. Morgan declined TO proceed
further until he had taken the advice of the
Registl ar-General with res pPct TO the sineu-
lar complication. That official. replying to
a communication from Mr.. Morgan, says:
Although the Obtuseness of the people
whose case you report is we'll nigh incred-
ible, il appears that the whole affair was a
mere blunder which might have been put
right on the spot by the recital of the words
of declaration and contract" He advises
that the Registrar should obtain the inn
mediate attendance Of the parties at his
Office with witnesses, and that they should
be remarked and new entry Of the mar
riage made. 1t is expected that the parties

A BOYS DIVERSION.
Disastrous Results of Experiment
With Man-Hole Cover.

Disastrous Results of Experiment
With Man-Hole Cover.
A small boy with match, a man-hole
cover. and an unfortunate horse became
terribly mixed UP last night at the corner
of Van Buren, and Dearborn streets, says
the Chicago Inter Ocean. AS q result of
the strange combination the small boy is
lying at his home with his head and face
terribly burned; the horse Is in the custody
of the Humane Society, while the man-hole
cover rests quietly over its dangerous open
ing as if nothing had happened.
Shortly before 8 O'Clock George Dold,
who is only years old, espied the man-hole
cover and thought it would be great fun to
poke piece of lighted paper down the little
hole which is used TO allow the escape of
treaeherOus gases which accumulate in
these subterranean cayerns. He procured
the match and paper and stood on one side
of the cover to watch the result of his scien-
eDtifc search. An unfortunate horse stood
with its forefeet on the other side of the
cover, and occasionally turned its head to
watch the small boy at his work.
The lighted paper was showed into the
opening, when instantly there was a deaf
ening explosion, the cover was torn from its
fastening, and sheet Of blue fame followed
it, shooting several feet into the air. The
boy sailed off in one direction, and the

IRISH PROTECTIONISTS.
A Move Against the Pro-English Policy
of Democracy.

A Move Against the ro-Eng1ish Policy
OF Democracy.
The initlatory movement of what promises
to become tangible organization for the
promotion of the protective policy versus
the pro-Engish policy of Democracy was
taken last evening at Irish-American Hall.
The meeting was informal, and composed
of well-known Irish Nationalist who were
identified with the Republican party during
the Blaine campaign. M. +. Cummings
occupied the chair, and T. 3. O'Brien acted
as Secretary. Those present were united
upon the Importance OF unity Of action by
organization.
MIR. OGorman expressed himself very
forcibly, asserting that it is most lament
able fact. bur nevertheless true, that the
local leaders of the Republican party are
out of touch with the Irish Republicans, and
that unless something is done speedily 10

fornIa.
Mr.. Cummings urged that the time had
come when the Instantaneous of this
city should proclaim to the world that II
others are disposed to forget the scourge OF
free-trade England, the element which
has experienced the poverty and the ruin 1T
has entaled upon their native land at
least should arm for the battle.
/. b. OBrien calmly discussed the ques-
ton at issue, noting the fact that fIee-trade
Democracy is aggressive in promulgating
tariff reform, which every true prOtectionist
must be alvarez means the undermining OF
protection. While Republicans are content
with feasting and DOMINIC dress-suits,
Democracy is holding instruction meetings
at Metropolitan Temple. He was hopeful
that from this meeting would come good re-
suits and he urged his hearers TO impress
citizens of Irish nationality TO remember
that the Government that aimed to make
them hewers of wood and drawers of water
in their native land is to-day the alder and
abettor of Democracy in this country.
The sentiments of the speakers were well
received, and the meeting adjourned 20 meet

horse took directly opposite course. The
boy landed on his hands and knees on the
corner, in front of drugstore, blinded by
the flame and almost crazed by fright Sew
eral persons, attracted by the noise Of the
explosion, came hurrying to the spot and
assisted the little fellow into the drug
store. His hair was entirely burned off his
head, and bis face and hands were burned
and bIackened by the flame. His injuries,
which are serious, were temporarily dressed,
and he was then taken to his home in the
police ambulance.
The horse was found in a basement on the
west side of Dearborn street, and was with
difficulty rescued from his uncomfortable
quarters 1t was found to be badly burned
and cut about the breast and forward part
of the body, and was removed for treatment
by the Humane Society.
Fortunately. the heavy iron cover was not
shattered by the force of the explosion, or
the loss to life and limb would in all prob
ability have been serious, as several persons
were passing by while the small boy was
enjoying his costly fun.

THE TEETH WERE THERE.
What Was Considered Woman's Delu-
sion Proved to Be a Fact.

What Was Considered n Woman's Delu-
sion Proved to Be a Fact.
Nearly two wears ago Mrs. Mary Green
applied for admission to the hospital and
requested that an operation be performed
upon her for the recovery of her false teeth
and plate which she insisted she had swal-
lowed, says Bridgeport Comm special to
the GlObe-DemocIat. After an examination
the physicians declared that there was no
foreign object OF the kind in the woman's
stomach. She declared, however. that she
could feel the teeth In the upper part of the
stomach. and an operation was performed,
DR.. Rice cutting the abb omen sufficient To
insert his hand and feel over the whole
stomach. Believing the case to be one of
mental disorder, the doctor acknowledged
finding the teeth in order to satisfy Mrs.
Green. She was better for awhile, but again
asserted that she could feel the teeth and
went 10 New York, where, at a home0-
pathic hospital, another operation was per-
formed but DO teeth could be found.
This morning Mrs. Green died of con-
sumption, and at a post-mOrtem examina-
ton DIR. Bridget and his assistants found
the plate and teeth in the gullet, about two
inches above the stomach. The curved
plate fitted the pipe so well that there was
no obstruction to her food as it passed down
the throat, and the plate was already partly
encysted by growth of flesh over the edge
of the metal. The physicians believe it to
be the only case on record of the same kind.

BANEFUL CANDY.

The Toxic Quality of Cream Almonds
Has Almost Fatal Effects.
That death turks ia so innOcent-loOking
and palatable thing as cream almonds
would scarcely be believed, but their eating
by a child on Saturday almost caused her
death. On Saturday evening last Dr. Heber
Smith, residing az the corner of Pennsyl-
vania avenue extended and Retreat street
in Clifton, came very near losing his little
daughter, Lola, aged years, bright and
interesting child, who had eaten two of
these cream almonds, says the Baltimore
American.
He purchased some of the candy for her,
and shortly before tea she was taken vio-
lently ILL Her lips swelled out to three
times their natural size, her eyelidS were
bloated, her feet and knees swollen and
paTalyZed, her pulse weak and quick, and
her respiration difficult; the little girl was
on the very verge OF death. Her distressed
parents tried ID many ways TO arouse her
from her stupOr; but all to no purpose. Ar
tfical respiration had to be rpsOTted to. Dr.
Smith administered an anIidote COMPOSED
of aromatic spirits of ammonia and salicy-
late of soda. He worked untiringly for sew
eral hours before bis little daughter showed
signs of recovery.
Several days before this Lola ate one of
the cream almonds while playing with one
Of her little friends. She then showed
symptoms almost similar to those manifested
on Saturday. but of very mild character
DR.. Smith, while laboring to save his daugh-
ter Saturday, detected on her breath the
scent of hydrOcyanic acid. or prussic acid
Yesterday he made partial chemical an
alysiS of number Of cream almonds, which
led him to the conviction that they con-
tanned hydrocyanic or prusSic acid, adeady
poison.
The kernel in the candy, he said, was not
that of the almond, but peach kernel, and
the deadly poison came by chemical pro-
cess from the enveloping of the kernel by
the sugar, or candy coating 4 man, he
said, might eat dozen of them without
danger to himself. but two or three contain

of tender years. His daughter has COM

A MODERN ABRAHAM.
An Ex-Governor Tries to Immediate Hi

An Ex-Governor Tries to Immediate His
Grandchild on an Altar.
Ex-Governor Jessup, one Of the most
prominent citizens of the town, has gone
insane. He was taken violently i'll few
days ago. and refused to allow doctor to
come to the house, and lived solely OH the
faith cure and the treatment of those who
surrounded his bed day and night, says Il
Bridgewater Comm dispatch to the st.
Louis Star Sayings.
Jessup at length conceived the idea that
he was a second Abraham, and that the Lord
required human sacrifice. Thursday, being
left alone Tor few minutes, he repaired
for the affair by constructing an altar IN his
bedroom, around which he piled a heap of
cOmbustibles. Then he caught his little
grandchild, one year old. placed her ON the
altar and prepared 10 ignite it.
The child's cries attracted a member of
the family, and the old man was nearly
killed in a struggle to restrain him

HERRMANN'S TROUBLES.
Tricked by the Collision of His Partner
and Agent

Tricked by the Collision of His Partner
and Agent.
Professor Hermann and his wife ap-
peared in Judge Wallace's courtroom yes
terday morning with a strong representa-
ton of legal talent to support their petition
for a reopening of the case in which George
w. Lederer secured a judgment in his favor
in December through the alleged collision
of Herrmann's attorney in fact, William b.
Richardson.
The trouble grew out of partnership in
the ~ and T. Company, in which Lederer
and Hermann were jointly interested, the
latter claiming that the former had over
drawn his pro rata of the profits by several
thousand dollars. Suit was begun TO re-
cover this amount ana judgment entered by
consent of Richardson. who held only
limited power of attorney, which gave him
no such right.
When these facts were proved in court
yesterday Judge Wallace set aside the de-
cree originally made and referred the whole
matter to Commissioner TausZky to take
testimony, examine accounts and report TO
the court.
