DROVE HIS BRIDE AwAY.-A we'd
ding, a reception, and a separation are
the hurried events that n less than
twelve hours frightened then sadden-
ed the life of Henry Passamanek, a re-
spected young Richmond merchant.
Passamaneck and Miss Marian Gold
stein were married at the SirMoses Mon
tiliore Synas osue, in Richmond, Sunday
afternoon and the ceremony was follow
ed by q reception at st. Charles Hotel.
All went merry until midnight when
the guests departed. The newly-mar-
ried couple retired to their home near
bv. In a burst of tears the bride, who
is only eighteen years old, told her hus-
band that in her early youth she had
been guilty of an act of indisc-etion.
This unexpected news overcame Mr..
Passamaneck. He fastened to his
brothers house, and brought him to
hear the statement as told by the bride.
A few minutes after midnight Mr.. Sol.
l.. Bloomberg, the attorney, was sum-
moned, and steps looking to divorce
were begun at once. The scene at the
house was most pathetic one. The
bride besought the forgiveness of her
husband, but he was steil, cold and
unrelenting. Mr.. Passamaneck left his
wife almost Immediately. His mother
passed the night with her. Yesterday
morning Mr.. Passamaneck, the groom,
and the girl signed papers agreeing to
separation. He gave her all the we'd
ding presents and allowed her to keep
the ring and gold watch hehad presented
to her during their courtship. The girl,
accompanied by her father, left Rich
mond yesterday.

MAJOR MANN PAGE, president OF the
Virginia farmers alliance, says he will
not be that organizations candidate Tor
Governor, and that if he were demo-
crat he would advocate the nomination
of Lieut.-Go Hoge Tyler. 1t seems
that the Lieutenant Governor Is not
only popular in his own, the democrat
ic. but in other parties. Major Page is
wise in his determination not to be the
farmers alliance gubernatorial candl-
date, for that organization is now
weak of itself, and would be even weak
er if the republicans become its allies,
for then its democratic element would
come back to the party it has left.

THE APPOINTMENT of a democratic
postmaster at New York is looked upon
bv the democrats of that city as oml-
nous of the appointment of an anti
snapper to the more important posi-
ton of collector of the port. But no
matter who may hold the federal Of
fees in that city, Tammany has the sup
port of a large majority of the voters
there, and all attempts to deprive it OF
that support will be as futile in the IL
ture as they have been impotent in the
mast.

EulaIie Rides an Engine.

Princess Eulalie, riding mile a min
ute on q plunging, swaying, snorting
locomotive-this was the astonishing
climax yesterday afternoon of the un-
conventional doings of SPANS bright
eyed Infanta that have so endeared her
to the American public.
When the splendid special train that
is bearing her from New York 10 Chi
cago entered the Blue Ridge mountains
in Pennsylvania yesterday evening, the
princess expressed n desire to ride on
the locomotive. The engineer was
notified, and preparations were quick
ly made to give the princess new eN-
perience.
The train was stopped at Mount
Union, Sc miles west of Harrisburg, and
the princess stepped down to the plat
form and walked forward TO the loco
motive. With her was the prince,
Commander Davis and Mr.. Parke, the
railroads representative. The princess
climbed up the iron steps without dill
Guilty, and stood on the left side OF the
cab. The prince stood close by her
side. Engineer Ellington touched the
throttle and old 1897 started oil.
The run was through one of the most
interesting sections ofthe Pennsylvania
road. The mountains lowered on either
hand with their dark green sides light
ened with occasional bits of dog wood.
In front lay the gray roadbed with its
shining lines of steel leading up the
narrow valley. The swaying of the
engine caused Eulalia TO grasp the arm
of the Prince for support, but she held
her position firmly.
Trees and mountains flew pastwlth a
rapidity that made one dizzy. The
engineer touched the lever and faster
apu faster flew the train. The fire
mans arm moved and the engine
shrieked three times rs it ratified past a
town, then something doomed up ahead
and train going at full speed in the
opposite direction passed.
The Princess duckcd her head, and
put up one hand to cover one ear,
while she chung still tighter to the
arm of the Prince. The rushing
engine went madly on as if it were
about to plunge to destruction. The
royal house of Spain was being shown
what the America, which Columbus
discovered by means of slow sailing
ships, could do in the way of rapid
travel
The train was doing better than 9
mile minute. The Princess held on
and seemed to enjoy the sensation Of
being shot through the air as from a
cannon. At Huntingdon the train was
stopped and the Princess climbed down
after having ridden twelve miles in
twelve minutes.

A BALL OF FIRE.-During a thunder
storm at York, Pa, Sunday afternoon
lightning entered sccondstory wint

THROWN FROM A CLIFF-Beaten into
insensibility, robbed of everything he
had, and thrown over cliff twenty
feet high was the fate of Charles Schaf-
fer, of Sharpsburg, Pa, on Sunday

tai, Pittsburg, and may not recover.

across the hills, intending to take q
short cut home. When near the coal
mines above Glenshaw he was attacked.
It is supposed his assailants belong to-
the Nef' gang of outlaws, who loaf

REV. DE. HoGE, of Richmond, is a
saver of wise things. He formulated a
phrase that will last as long as the En-
elish language, when he said, what is
morally wrong cannot be politically
right" and, in his prayer at the renter
ment of The remains of President DAVIS
he said it was the duty of the South
"never to murmur, but never to forget"
None but the wise, however, can APP
preciate wisdom, and forgetfulness, be-
ing characteristic of fools, is very prev
alent even among those who pose as
Solons.

WAsH1SGToNs FALSE TEETH.-An inter
esting relic of George Washington was shown
at the meeting of the Maryland State Dental
Association in Baltimore yesterday. 1t was
complete SCI of false teeth worn by Washing
ton. and was curious commentary on dentists
and dentistry in the early days. The ttase
mates were Of lead and were perfectly fat on
the gum surfaces. Some of the teeth were q
carved ivory and Others were human teeth
which had done service In other mouths.
These were supported by wires passing
throneh the roots, and were held permanent
iy in 9lace by being encased in leaden base.
The INNER and lower sets were connected
with spiral springs, which passed through
curved Slots and assisted the Father Of the
Country to open and close his mouth. 1t
was said that the teeth had never before
been exhibited to body of dentists.

In FAVOR OF Miss ERvINE.-Aiter
sitting 10 days hearing evidence as to
DR.. Il. X. Walkers sanity in will case
under consideration, the jury in Lex
ington reached verdict in few min
utes yesterday afternoon. 1t was in
favor of DIR. Walkers heir and adopted
daughter, as named in the will, Miss
Hone Ervine. The story of the case
has romantic tinge. Miss IRVINE, an
attractive girl, won the friendship OF
the doctor and his wife.
The girl was taken into the childless
home and made one of the family, and
was always referred to by the Walkers
as their adopted daughter" though
never made so by law, and in the will
she is referred to as "my adopted
daughter Time wore on, and the girl
grew into young womanhood, and the
physician, approaching her kind atten-
ton to him and his wife, determined to
make her his heir, which, without the
knowledge of anyone. unless his wife,
he did. Then came the killing of both
DIR. and Mrs. Walker, followed by the
trial, which ended in the acquittal of
the Miller boys. After the trial was
over the will giving all the estate to
Miss IRVINE was brought to light, much
to her surprise. 1t was duly probated,
and she took charge of the property,
but she did not take up her home in
the old house. 1t was not long after
wards that she entered the Johns Hop
kins Hospital ut Baltimore to be edu-
Gated as trained nurse, her estate in
the meantime going into the hands of
her attorney, Hon. VIM. A. Anderson,
of that place. There had been decid-
ed feeling of dissatisfaction on the part
of the nieces and nephcws and other
kindred of DR.. Walker ION the time
the will was probated, which culminat-
ed in the contest now settled in favor OF
Miss Erviue.

TUESDAY EVENING. JUNE 6, 1898,

No RIGHT thinking man objects to the
Presidents holidays, whenever he
chooses to take them; but why, as some
ncvspapers seem to think, he was es-
rccially in need of his recent one is not
plain, at least to some people really
we'll disposed to him, and who sincere
" desire that his administration may
be success. To them it appears that
the duty of putting the offices OF the
government in the hands of democrats,
as those who elected Mr.. Cleveland
supposed he would do, would have
been performed in three months, ana
that too with little or no trouble, let
alone work; indeed as an amusement
and to while away the spring, in which
he has had nothing else to do. Where
the "great and protracted labor" comes
in they cannot well see. That the Pres
ident himself does not deem it hard
work. is apparent to every body by
the wav he protracts it. Real labor is
any thing else than agreeable, and 1t Is
the natural desire of all engaged in 1t to
complete it as soon as possible and II
democratic President imagines that
ordering the removal OF republican
officeholders and the appointment OF
democrats to their places is laborious,
most ordinary people think he should
have finished the job long ago. TO
them it seems that instead of its being
tiresome. the President enjoys it, and
would continue it indefinitely, as sweet
ness long drawn out.
