AN OPERATORS JOKE.
1t Resulted in Marriage, Separation
and Divorce.

1t ResuIto in Marriage, Separation
and Divorce.
Chicago Inter Ocean.
The announcement Of the marriage in a
Western city of former MascOutah young
lady recalls the sad and singular story Of a
practical joke perpetrated in that town
twenty or more years ago. George B.
Schneider was the accepted lover of Miss
Sophie Exster, popular young lady of the
community. The young man urged his
prospective bride to marry him at a time
when the rules Of the church to which she
belonged forbade wedding festivities. She
finally consented to an early marriage upon
the condition that they secure the approval
Og TIE Bishop If the church. Accordingly
the lover diS patched a letter to the Bishop.
The lovers were happy in the belief that
their request would Oe granted. In fact
they were so confident Of securing the
Bishops approval of the marriage that the
wedding day was set and all preparations
were made for the approaching wedding.
The days passed by, but the expected letter
came not. The day set for the wedding
came, the last mail was in, and still there
was no word from the churchman. In deS-
peration the young man rushed off to the
telegraph Office and sent the following mes
sage to the Bishop:
Have you any objection to our marriage
at this time? Answer quick.
The telegram was sent promptly as a rush
message, but the hours rolled by and The
te egraph machine brought forth no reply.
The young man was in a high state of nery-
Gus excitement. He paced the floor Of the
modest little telegraph Office, halting every
five minutes TO ask the operator ii the
answer had come. Fortunately, or rather
unfortunately as it turned out the tele-
graph operators name was the same as the
Bishops The early religious education of
the key manipulation had been sadly neg
lected. Either from compassion for the
young couple or in a spirit OF fun, probably
the latter, he wrote on telegraph paper as
follows, You have my consent to marry"
signed his own name To it and handed the
was wild with JOY a ter the terrible suspense.
He thanked the wicked telegraph man and
hurried away to bear the good news to his
bride. The wedding came off at the ap-
pointed time. After the wedding festivities
were over and the young couple lad enjoyed
one short week of honeymoon delayed let
ter was received. it was from the BishOp,
and the churchman for some reason with
held his consent TO the marriage. 1t was a
severe blow to the young bride. She be-
lieyed that her husband had been party 10
the deception that had been pTacticed, and
the result was separation. A divorce was
granted some years later but neither of
them ever married again. The youEg lady
that was recently married in the West was
the daughter of the unfortunate couple.
Her parents have both been dead many
years. They were buried side by side, re-
united at last in death.

An instance in which a dream WAS useful
in preventing an impending catastrophe is
recorded Of a daughter of Mrs. Rutherford
at Edert0n. the grand daughter of Sir Walter
Scott. This lady dreamed more than once
that her mother had been murdered by q
black servant, She was so much upset by
this that she returned home and, to her
great astonishment, and not little to her
di,may, she met on entering the house the
very black servant she had met in her
dream. He had been engaged in her alb
sence. She prevailed upon gentleman to
watch In an adjoining room during the fol-
lowing night
About o'clock in the morning the gentle
man heard footsteps on the stairs, came out
and met the servant carrying quantity OF
Goals. Being questioned as 10 where he was
going, he answered confusedly that he was
going to mend the mistress fire. which at 3
o'clock in the morning in the middle of sum-
mer was evidently impossible. On further
investigation strong knife was found hid
den in the Goals The lady escaped, but the
man was subsequently hanged for murder.
and before his execution he confessed that
he intended to have assassinaJed Mrs

HEDSPRTH'S WIFE.
She Is Afraid That If Captured

Stories connected with Mrs. Maggie
Hedspeth and others implicated in the Glen
dale train robbery arrive daily from St.

Mrs. Hedspeth and mOther-ln-law of Adel-

tervieW with both in the presence of de-
tectiYes. 1t was touching scene and the
sobs of the mother and daughter mingled
into a chorus Of lamentations. Sly appealed
to both to cheer up and hope for the best.
Mrs. Graham, who is an aged woman with
a strong Scotch accent, had heard that her
daughter was very sick and went from St.
Joseph, Mo, TO see her. When they met
they remained locked in each others EN-
brace for several minutes. Mrs. Hedspeth
had little to say, being despondent and dis
heartened.
Mrs. Graham says that Sly met Hedspeth
in the penitentiary aud introduced him into
the family. She warned Maggie not 10
marry HedSpeth, but he seemed so devoted
to her and promised 50 sincerely TO change
his life that she finally gave her consent
1t was further learned from the old lady
that Mrs. Hedspeth is afraid OF her husband,
1t was Hedspeth who sent her to get the
trunk in Oakland, where she was captured
by the San Francisco detectives. At that
time he was near her ana watched her
closely. She is now afraid that if her huS-
baud is captured he Will accuse her of
"squealing" and kill her 1t is this fear that
makes her despondent and disconsOIate.

steamer Gypsy, belonging to the Pacific
Coast Steamship Company at 10 o'clock

Broadway Wharf and had arrived from
Santa Cruz Yesterday morning with cargo

a short time several engines were at the
scene. As the fire was in the lime, water
would only increase the danger, so the fire
laddies were not needed
Chief Officer Fields of the steamer City OF
Puebla was one of the first to respond to
the alarm. and he at once ordered the
matches closed, and by this means kept
the fire IN check. As soon as
possible a large force OF men were put
to work discharging the lime from the
tween decks, and by midnight nothing was
left but what was stored In the lower hold.

men went to work with will to get the
