A wife as a Commodity.

Having made his fortune in the prov.
inces, a wealthy Frenchmau wrote to his
business correspondent in Paris in the
following terms: "As l have taken a
resolution to marry, and do not find q
suitable match out here. do not fail TO
send by the next ship bound hther a
young lady Of the subjoined qualinca-
tions: Let her be of an honest family,
between twenty and twenty-five years Of
age, of middle stature and well-propor-
toned; her face agreeable, her character
blameless, and her constitution strong
enough to bear the change of climate
that there may be no occasion to look for
q second wife because of the death of the
first, soon after she came to hand, which
must be provided against as much as pos
sible Considering the great distance and
the dangers of the sea, demand no por-
ton. If she arrives here on tho condi-
tions stipulated, with the present letter
indorsed by you, l hereby engage to
marry the bearer at fifteen days sight. I"
This is a sensible letter, very different
from ordinary bilIets-doux, and it was re-
piled to with punctuaity and in the same
terms Among the goods sent by his cor
respondent was the following item: "A
young gentlewoman of twenty-five years
of age, Of the quality and shape as con-
ditioned per order, as appears by the afil-
davits and certificates she has to pro-
duce." A few days, we are told, wero
devoted to courtship, when the nuptial
ceremony took place, with great niagnifi-
cence; "nor did Martinique boast hap.
pier couple than the one thus singularly
united. Irish Times.

BEGINNING TO WEAKEN.

The Homestead Strikers Urged to Return in
aBody When All Hope Is Gone.
For the first time since weekly meetings
have been held at Homestead by the locked
out men the possibility Of the men losing
the fight was yesterday broached. Mr.. W.
T. Roberts denounced the fnishers and said:
'If the Homestead strike ends to-mor-
row in favor of the firm they are the ones to
blame. We want none of their sympathy and
are not objects of charity. 1t matters little
what they may do, they cannot disrupt the
Amalgamated Association. If the time
comes when you think you can no longer
hold out, say so; but don't 60 back as
stragglers." Upon being asked what they
were willing to do, the audience answered
with vigorous yell, "Fight it out to the
end"
At the close of the meeting Chairman
Crawford announced that David Lynch had
gone to Chicago to secure funds and would
return in few days
1t is understood that all deputy sheriffs
are to be withdrawn from Homestead as
soon as J. S. Holingshead has been ap-
pointed Burgess by the courts
All the departments of the mill will be

At the usual shutdown of the mills about
Christmas extensive improvements will be
made in the 119-inch and the 32-inch mills
The most important of these will be new
tables, which will be operated by electricity

One of the Many Novelties.

along the entire route There were
more mounted men in line than in any
parade during the late campaign. Gray
boards were plentiful among the cavaliers
1t was plain that the old stand-bys of De-
fnocracy deemed it their duty to risk
rheumatism and take their fling with the
boys
The parade may have contained 1000
men, possibly more. but it was hard to keep
count of them, so many were massed in
ponderous wagons and packed into all sorts
of things on wheels. 1t took exactly one
hour and five minutes for the parade to
pass into Diamond street from Grant.
As the Randall Club in the van with Mar
shall Rutledge and his staff reached the
Diamond street corner at 9:05 it will be
seen that the huge assemblage of spectators

after o'clock had a long wait In fact,

in scraps as the clubs marched to the start

A Former Resident of This City Arrested
for Passing Bogus Checks.
Behind the bars of q Chicago prison Ian
guishes Edward Valentine, former resi-
dent of Pittsburg. He was arrested in the
''Windy City" on Friday last. for passing
bogus checks. His method of operation in
most cases was to mail checks to himself
and get them cashed by hotel clerks and
business men. In this style of swindling
Valentine was particularly audacious. He
made several rich strikes before he was
caught, having beaten four of the leading
hotels and as many more of the large mer-
camille houses before he was arrested.
While in this city Valentine was en-
ployed as clerk in Guskv's and Kauf-
manns' stores He always wore good
clothes and had some expensive jewelry.
The large sums of money he frequently
handled led some of his friends to believe
that everything was not straight. Their
suspicious were finally confirmed when one
day he suddenly disappeared from Pitts
burg, and it was rumored that he left town
because the police were getting too close to
his heels. Valentine is we'll connected, and
always moved in good society. At the time
of his departure from this city he was en-
gagged to marry a most estimable and very
wealthy lady of Allegheny.

tin, of gigantic size with wings of painted

marching men. The name of the Presi-

vention:
"Grover! Groverl Four years more OF
Grover;

and spectators on the curb. Fifth avenue

The Charter Held by the Park Inclined
Plane Company for the Same Grant.
The Corporation Committee of Councils
met yesterday afternoon to take action on
the ordinances for an inclined plane at
South Twenty-first street. There were three
different ordinances asking for the same
privilege. One granting the right to H.
Sellers Mckee, Murray A. Werner, Joseph
W. Patterson and s. P. Conner for the right
of way from point on South Twenty-6rst

Amanda street.
Another asking the fame right of way by
the Mt Oliver Inclir Railway Company
and the Park Incline Company
Mr.. MacGonigle, Chairman of the sub
committee, reported in favor of the first
ordinance. s. P. Conner asked leave to
substitute an ordinance offered at the last
meeting of Councils, which styles the COM
pany the Twenty-frst Street Incline Com
pany.
This was accepted, and the ordinance
granting tine right to the Twenty-irst
Street Railway Con- ,any afirmatiyely
recommended to Councils. A motion was
then made that the other ordinances be held
over.
The same companies applied for a charter,
which after several hearings before the
Park Inclined Plane Company. As the
matter now stands one company has the
charter and the other the right of way, sub
ject to the action of Councils.

THE CAN EXPLODED.
Two Southside Boys Badly Burned by Oil
Last Night.

Two Southside Boys Badly Burned by Oil
Last Night.
A can of oil exploded last evening at the
home of Anton Beck, 2522 Josephine street,
Southside, with fatal results. His little son
Juhn, aged months, is dead. and Joseph,
aged years, was not expected last night to
live until tomorrow. He is burned, so Dadly
that he cannot recover.
About o'clock last night Mrs. Beck
went to neighboring store to buy the Sun
day supply of provisions During her
absence Joseph procured can of oil and
began pouring it on the fire. The
explosion that followed threw the burn
ing fluid over the boys, and they were
Immediately enveloped in flames Leaving
his brother to his fate Joseph ran out of the
room and into the street screaming with
agony: The neighbors we're quickly at
tracted, and procured wraps with which to
envelop them. But help came too late,
and they were literally roasted alive.
The mother, attracted by the confusion,
rushed home only to find her children
burned almost beyond recognition.
The younger of the boys, who was un-
able to get out of the room, was burned so
badly that he died within an hour and the
other cannot live. The parents of the two
boys are Poles.
