DErERMisED TO WE'D.

The Hagerstown Mail Of recent date
Says: Last night a weary, sore and
sleepy trio arrived at the Beeler House
and put up for the night. They We're
Samuel G. McAllister, Mary Birds
Bruce and the latter's father, and the
former were bent upon a wedding.
The girl was young and pretty, and
the groom stalwart young man.
This morning they were married at
the Beeler House. and at 1870 return
ia to their home in Virginia rejoicing.
The bridal pair came from Harrison,
Augusta county, and Browns Cave.
AIbermarie county. and had walked
25 miles TO meet 4 train at 4 point
nearestto their homes.
Such determination is rarely evinced
in that country, according to the faith
or of the bride, who said that people
back his way didn't take the trouble
to get married, as it was too far to go
to preacher and too far to 80, to
reach railroad, but as he hadn't had
4 wedding in his family for some time
he had consented to take the trip and
the twenty-five mile walk.
Al few missionaries, it seems to us,
might be sent to that locality and the
Nheathens given rest for a-brisf time.

A SIBERIAN EXILE.

ABSENCE.
4 HALF NATuRALIzED AMERICAN
sElxED By RUSSIAN AUTHOR
ITIEs IN GERMANY.

OMAHA. NEB.. Dec, s. Jacob Ger
Der is once more ia Omaha, having
escaped from the Siberian exile to
which he was doomed year and q
half ago. He arrived in The city last
night after an absence Of twenty-oRe
months. After being a resident Of
this city for six years he returned to
Russia to-dispose Of what property he
had there and bring his family to this
country. He had taken out his first
naturalization papers, but was, seized
on German soil and. without trial
sent to Siberia.
The authorities at Washington could
not effect his release. He is said to
be covered with frightful sears and
sores. His sufferings on the march to
the mines were very acute.
He remained in Siberia three months
before he found an opportunity to
carry into effect the plan for escape
that he had mapped out. He had ex-
cited the sympathy of fellow Hebrew
who was engaged in the mines and in
duced the latter to write a letter home
for him asking his wife to send him
some money.
The money, amounting TO Sf,00U.
was sent, and Gerber's friend took him
to Yakutsk. He paid $50 to get to
Yakutsk, and then took conveyance
by post to Tomlsk, distance Of 1900
miles, and paid for it $l75. He had
secured the dress Of a nobleman and
carried an official portinanteau that
seemed to have more 10 do with saw
ing him from annoyance than every
thing else. for he was not molested
and was not asked for passports.
Money removed obstacles that he
encountered and finally he reached a
small town within fifty miles of his
home without being detected. He
finally made circuit Of 800 miles and
was successful in leaving Russian soil
behind him. He lost no time in get
ting as far away as be could, for he
knew he was not safe until he had
reached America. Thus it happened
that he at last arrived in Omaha, and
of the $1,000 that had been sent him
by his wife, he had only 10 cents in
his pocket when the journey was over.

MIR. WILSON FOR sPEAKsR.
The Prominent West Virginia Represen-
tatiye Urged to he Candidate.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. 8.-A
number of friends and admirers Of
Congressman VIM. L. Wilson, Of West
Virginia, have been urging him since
his return here for the opening Of the
session to permit them to use his name
as candidate for Speaker of the next
Congress. These gentlemen believe
that Mr.. Wilson would develop great
strength as candidate, because of
his personal popularity no less than
because of the foremost position he
occupies in the House and therefore
the country as an able and fearless
advocate of tariff reform and the other
great doctrines Of Democracy. 1t is
well known Mr. Wilson would have
had considerable support for the
Speakership at the beginning Of this
Congress if he had cared to come out
as a candidate, but this he repeatedly
refused to do because of his devotion
to Mr.. Mills. Mr.. Wilson's friends be-
lieve he would be much stronger as Q
candidate now than he would have
been before, and they are very anx-
ions for him to allow his name to be
used. Mr.. Wilson, however, declares
he has given the matter no thought,
and for the present declines to discuss
it. Mr.. Tom L. johnson, of cleve-
land, is the leader of the movement to
bring Mr.. Wilson out as a candidate,
and he is very active in the matter.
If Mr.. Wilson should consent he will,
Of course, have the support Of the
West Virginia members of the House.
