ROBERTS, -S7EBBINS.
Another Young ?. R. R. En-
ploye Captures a Jersey
City Bride on the Sly.

Many persons in this city will be sur
nrised to learn that Miss Addie Stebbins,
the petite, blue-eyed blonde, who has
caused many autter among the young
gallants Of the Heights, has been Sc
cretly married since last Summer. But
it is fact, nevertheless, and is admitted
by the pretty bride. herself The happy
bridegroom is William Roberts, slim
young man, weo dresses fastidiously,
wears a red neck-tie, and is employed as
a clerk by the Pennsylvania Railroad.
The youug bride is one Of the prsttiest
girls on the Heights. She has light hair,
a delicate pink and white complexio n.
laughing blue eyes and teeth as even and
white as pearls. She lives with her
parents in neat two-story cottage at
No. 400 Summit avenue. With her
younger sister, who Is almost as pretty as
herself, she has attended many social
gatherings. The two sisters were FREE
quently at entertainments in Fove Hall
and were eagerly sought for by the young
men of the Heights.
Last winter, young Roberts, SO the story
goes, formed the acquaintance of Miss
Addie. He at once became violently in
home. The young lady seemed also so be
In love with William despite the fact that
his income, as Delacy FitZ Altamont used
to say, "was not large"
William, who Is said to be very am
bilious young man, told his pretty sweet
heart that some day he might be Pres,
ident of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and
she thought he might too.
Finally the parents of Miss Stebbips
thought the affair had gone far enough.
Mrs. Stebbins is said to have liked her
daughters young wooer. but Mr.. Steb-
bins took more practical view. He did
not dislike Roberts. but he thought of the
bread and cheese more than of the third
element in the conventional combination,
and SO he did everything In his power to
keep the young people apart.
But this opposition seemed to have no
effect on the young people. Last summer
Miss Addie and her sister were sent to a
summer resort near Asbury ParK. 1t did
not take long for young Roberts to find
managed to get ten days vacation from
the railroad. Naturally he went at once
to where Miss Stebbins was stopping.
I. When Miss StebDins came home from
her vacation she had serious look. The
pretty smile had faded from her
face, and her parents questioned her but
could get nothing from her.
1t was one day last week that Addie
con fided to friend that she had been
married to William Roberts in the merry
Summertime. It did not take long for
the news to travel, and soon all the
golden and gilded youth of the Foye Hall
dance variety were talking about the
secret marriage.
l called on Miss Stlbbins at her home
one day last week, She did not deny the
marriage. but begged me not to say any
thing about it until abe had chance to
tell her father. That is the reason this
story was not published until today. 1t
is understood that In the mean time Miss
Addie has told her papa and all has been
forgiven.

MutinY.

measures as would be necessary to dis
pose of the vexed questions. The various
plans for reorganizing the National
Guard which have from time to time
been presented were laid before the
meeting and carefully considered. Each
proposition was taken in turn, and after
it had been thoroughly considered 1t was
resolved to reject 1t. In this way each
plan was disposed CT, aud when that had
been accomplished, 1T was unanimously
resolved that the best interests OF the SER
vice demanded that no change whatever
should be made.
The Board then called upon the Gov
ernor in body and after paying their
respects to the Commander-in-Ch in
approved military fashion laid the whole
matter before him. They told him OF the
various plans which had been submitted
tor another reorganization of the militia

the Board had arrived. The Governor
listened to them atteptively, and when
they had finished informed them that he
fully concurred with them in their de-
cision and would sustain them therein.
