The Talented Actress Secretly Married
to Milwaukee Brewer.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Nov. 14-Society
circles We're startled yesterday by re-
port which spread like wildfire that
Col. GuStave Pabst, the oldest son of
Capt. Fred Pabst, president of the
world-famous Pabst Brewing company,
had been married at San Francisco to
Miss Margaret Mather on Wednesday
last. When seen on the matter Capt
Pabst admitted that he had been in
formed by his son of the wedding but
declined to say anything further.
The bridegroom is 26 years old, very
genial and generally well liked. He
was vice-president Of the Pabst Brew
ing company until the concern was
consolidated lately with the Falk Jung
& Borchert Brewing company, when
he was elected secretary. Two years
ago Gov. Peck appointed him colonel
and aid-de-camp on his staff.
Mr.. Pa bst had gone to San Francisco
on business, as was stated at the time
Of his departure. The marriage was
evidently secret one.

he bought five times as many sheep rs

CHAPTER XVIII.
HE RDu CTIO N

The same moonlight which illumined
the meeting of Pauline CorSi and the
strangers in the streets of New Orleans,
shone on the smooth bosom of the Mis-
SisSippi, and on the white walls Of the
villa residence of Augustus Horton.
The house and plantation Of Horton
vile were some miles from the wood in
which the duel between Augustus and
Gilbert had taken place.
The scenery which surrounded the
villa was exquisitely beautiful, and the
building itself, seen beneath the light
Of the moon, with it's lamp-lit windows
cleaning like pale gems in the glory Of
the summers night, had the appear
ance of some fairy palace rather than
any earthly habitation.
You might almost have expected to
see those white walls melt into thin
air and fade away from your gaze.
1t was nearly midnight, and the plan
ter's small household had retired to
rest.
There were only two watchers in
that luxurious habitation.
The first of these was Augustus Hor-
ton; the second was Cora, the Octoroon.
The unhappy girl had been brought
from the auctlOn-rOOm to HOrtOnvllle
in Augustus'S ph8ton, the thorough
bred horses of which made brief work
of the journey from New Orleans.
Adelaide Horton and her aunt, Mrs.
Montresor, were still at their city resi-
dence.
Cora scarce dared to think why Au-
gustus had chosen to take her to Hor-
tonville, rather than to his town house.
The answer to that question was ter
rible.
Could there be any doubt as to his
motive in choosing this lonely villa for
the retreat of the OctOroon?
Was it not that the wretched girl
might be more fully in his power?
The chamber to which Cora had been
conducted was even more luxuriously
furnished than her own tastefully dec
Grated apartment in the pavilion on
the borders of Lake Pontchartrain, but
the Octoroon looked at the splendor
around her with a shudder.
She knew that it was not thus that
slaves were ordinarily treated, and she
knew the sinister meaning of this
seeming kindness.
The young mulattreSs who led Cora
to her apartment informed her that she
had been appointed to wait upon Miss
Leslie.
Cora smiled bitterly
who told you to call mo Miss Les
lieY she asked.

Cleveland's plurality of 5000 in Con
necticut is the largest given to any
presidential candidate since Lincoln
swept the state OH the slavery issue in
1850. Even Grants plurality in 1872
was less than this one of Cleveland.
Since 1876 Connecticut has been carried
In presidential years by the narrowest
of margins, and so small was the dem
ocratic plurality in 1888 that the re
publicans entertained ardent hops of
giving her six electoral votes to Harri
son. The result of Tuesdays voting
WAS the final and conclusive demonstra-
ton Of the triumphant power of the
democracy i'll the Nutmeg state. The
republican appeal to the tobacco grow
ers to vote the republican ticket was as
abject in its failure as i'll Dane county.

RATIONAL MANITOBAN VIEW.

Goodbye, Benny" 1t also declares,
with great intelligence, that all the signs
pointed to this result. Mr.. Harrison
was. is says beaten from the start. He
was beaten ut the Minneapolis conven-
ton that nominated him. He was
beaten wien Mr.. Blaine resigned. The
republicans continued to claim his cleo
tion but never sincerely; the leaders of
the party knew better, and it was done
for effect merely. There was an infuen-
tial section Of til" party, represented By
Quay, ClarkSOn and Plat, that never
heartily responded to his denomination,
and this alone presaged defeat. But

cratic victory in due above and beyond

A Novel Salt.

Suits against railroads are common
things. The sympathies of juries are
usually against tho big corporations, and
this encourages litigants and lawyers to
press claims that would rot be thought of
against private individuals.
A somewhat novel suit has been en-
tered on the consequential damages
order, against the New York Central &
Hudson River railroad by a Poughkeepsie
lady named Mise EVA FREAR. She claims
that she was engaged to gentleman
named JOHN Il. BAGNALL, also OF PoIgh
keepsie, and that they were travelling to-
gether on that road at Christmas time in
1891 when a collision occurred; Miss FRnAR
was injured, MIR. BAGNALL was killed.
Miss FRBAR wants $40, 600.
This demand is not on account of the
lady's bodily injury. which appears to
have been but slight, but she has lost
husband, and husbands are worth a
good deal to ladies who have not
many offers OF marriage. She ex-
pected to DO supported through life, ana
as the railway collision has deprived her OF
these expectations, she wants to be REM
bursed. However, it is understood that
she is willing to call the matter square for
half price, that is $780, 600
Theressre several probilities that suggest
themselves in this case and it is likely that
these have induced the lady TO offer TO take
q reduction of the original amount de-
manded. Among them is the possibility
that the gentleman would not have married
her after all, If he had lived Anolner ia
that he might not have supported her II he
had married her. as the divorce courts d.
vulge the fact that some wives have to
support their husbands. And further. he
might tire OF her as other men have tired
of their spouses efter short honeymoon,
and severed the nuptial cord by judicial
assistance.
There is no telling what jury will do
when railroad company is defendant in a
suit, but we would not like to rtsk much on
Miss FsEAR's chances of success in this
novel case for damages. Considerable
curiosity will be felt as 10 the decision

IF Mr.. HOLMAN, Of Indiana, is the Con-
gressional wetchdog of the treasury, Mr.
DocKERY, Of Missouri, is the loafer-killer
of all the departments. He intends to start
very early this session a thorough examina-
ton of the details of the administration
with the view of purging the various
bureaus and divisions of the dead beats and
bummers who have so long infested them
Senator CooKRELL sons time since made
a labored and faithful report upon the
abuses prevailing, and this movement Of
DoCKRRY's is right in line with it. The
bookkeeping system shows that an ordi-
nary clerk in a private business house
could do in an hour what it takes five Off
cisl persons three days to do. Perjurers,
profigatss, illiterates and loafers are in
every department, and instead of 1900
persons in such SERVICE" one-third the
number would perform the duties more
successfully. DocEERY has had an educa-
ton in surgery, and HIS sharp knife will go
deep into all these abuses.

The Smoke Nuisance.

The smoke nuisance in this city is caus-
ing great deal OF complaint. This will
eliminate in movement TO compel its
abatement by muaicipsl authority, unless
the tirms and corporations that create tho
nuisance take steps OF their own accord to
remove it. The volums OF smoke from the
chimneys of private residences is scattered
and uncomfortable. But that from bust
ness blocks, factories, electric and other
works, where large furnaces are in opera
tion, is becoming very unpleasant, and will
spoil the appearance of our most beautiful
buildings If the evil is not soon suppressed.
The nuisance can be removed without
actual coat to the business Arms that create
it, by the application of simple contriv-
anoe which, while it causes the con-
sumption OF the smoke, makes q
great saving in tho fuel used
This is not the plan by which
q jet Of steam is forced under the boller

ented method invented ia London by an old
gentleman named FERHDAY, now residing
in this territory. 1t has been tried in the
MCCORMICK block and in the Wasetch
block and found to work we'll, saving 20
per cent. of the fuel.
In one or two places objection has been
made that this process sbstructs the draught
somewhat But we are informed that this
is when the firing is not managed accord
ing to instructions. Some frsmen arc too
oplnionatsd to change their methods
Where the fuel is used as directed 40 OBJ

named and more too can be effected. So
we are credibly informed
The cost of this patent remedy including
the work of putting it in is but one hun
dred dollars, an amount which will soon be
returned in the saving of coal 1t effects
We suggest that inquiries be made by those
who are contributing largely to the volume
