much publicity. The informant added that
in commenting on recent wedding Dame
Rumor had told one of her circle that the
appointment Of the bridegroom had been
made by game of cards.
The reporter visited Gilberton with view
to sitting the facts and in pursuance of this
object he visited number of citizens of that
borough, among them some Polish people who
were in attendance at the wedding spoken Of
1t was learned that Miss Annie Wann, a
resident of Gilberton, and young Polish
shoemaker of Mahanoy City, who was
known only by the name George" Annie
was described as a pretty, lighthaired and
well developed German girl of seventeen
years. Her husband is a good looking and
industrious young Polish man who speaks
English well and has managed to save much
of his earnings since he has been in this
country. He is about 26 years of age.
The couple were married at Mahanoy
Plane on Monday night and the festivities
were kept up until Wednesday night. 1--WE
had bully times" said one of Georges Polish
friends, "and we emptied fourteen kegs of
beer"
When asked about the game of cards report
the friend said mo, ' know nothing of such
thing, but I don't know that it was not so.
You see George was much in love with the
girl and spent money on her freely and per
haps some people are jealous. George gave
her S175 cash. a seal skin coat, silk dresses, a
hat that cost $12 gold watch, gold bracelets
and lot of things, amounting to about $500
in all, and then l understand the girls father
| received 5000.
"There is nothing wrong about that said
the reporter, 'and it is strange that so much
talk has been aroused over the wedding"
"Well, you see l believe there is a little
| jealousy somewhere" continued the Polish
friend. when Annie put on the seal skin
sack, the silk dress and new hat and all those
things some of the girls got jealous and said,
oh my, amt she proud p and when Annie
walked down the street singing, 'Tarara-
boom.d ee that made some of the people
mad"
"Yes," put in a bystander, "and then
Annie was engaged to marry young Irish
fellow and the wedding dress was made, but
Georges presents hit the nail on the head"
A few more inquiries led the infOrmants to
speak of an incident that perhaps accounts
for the reports. Annie is a very lively young
lady and very prankish. On the evening
| following the marriage ceremony Annie took
notion that married Ii e was not to her taste
and when the festivities were at a high pitch
in her mothers house she disappeared, Her
brother and friends of the husband hunted
through the town for her and when their
search was crowned with success they in
duced her to leave the house in which she
had taken refuge and return to her distressed
spouse.
The people who know all about the matter
do not feel disposed to say much, but they
take pains to say that George is very nice
fellow, and while they all seem pretty well
acquainted with his affairs they profess total
ignorance of game of cards in connection
with love affairs.

THE JUDGESHIP.

Another Possible Successor to the Late
Judge Green.
Now that the remains of the late Judge
David B. Green have been laid to rest specu-
lation on his successor ON the bench has been
renewed. While a number of prominent
men were discussing the matter at the county
seat yesterday the name of William Wilhelm,
Esq, of Pottsville, was prominently men
tsoned in connection with the appointment.
1t was stlted that Mr.. Wilhelm's eminent
fitness and his standing in this county would
make him an excellent candidate next fall.
1t was also stated that if Governor Pattison
intends to appoint Republican, and it seems
to be the general impression that he does, no
mistake would be made in naming Mr..
Wilhelm.

TAE OEEIoE oE OEEIoEs

A time-honored piece of rascality,
from the blame of which neither party
is free. is repeated in the appointment of
+. w. McGettrick as superintendent of
the federal building now being construct
ed at st. Albans. No private individual
would think for one minute of engaging
MIR. McGrttrick for such position. nor
would any number of stump speeches be
accepted as qualification In any trade
or business. Why should Uncle Sans
affairs be conducted after a fashion that
would be regarded as lunacy in private
affairs p St. Johnsbury Republican,.
Our esteemed friend of the Republican
needs education in practical politics.
Living, as he does, in II community dis
tInguisned for the purity of its moral at
mosphere, he is not to blame for think
ing that the average office-holder ought
to be able to render some equivalent in
service for the money paid him by the
government. That is the theory, of
course, but IN practice the theory falls
far short of being good. We feel, there
fore, that we should enlighten the inno-
cent gentleman who edits the Republi-
can by informing him that in this period
of the republics history many offices,
and especially the sort Mr.. McGettrick
holds, are employed for the payment of
political debts. A great many of them
90 for what the late Mr.. Whitman called
"yawp", otherwise known as campaign
oratory. Splitting the ear drums of two
hundred voters, more or less, is a feat
commonly rewarded with consulship.
Making the welkin ring twenty or thirty
times at as many political gatherings is
good for job like Mr.. McGettrick's, and
so on. The fact that Mr.. McGettrick
knows nothing about building is rather
In his favor than against him; he will be
less likely to bother the contractor and so
hinder the progress of the work.
