on September %. when Mrs. Stelling COM
menced suit for divorce against her hus-
band on the ground of cruelty. Stelling
was thunderstruck, but he engaged Attor-
neys Wickliffe Matthews and Marcus
Rosenthal, who have now decided to file
cross complaint charging Mrs. SIZZLING
with unfaithf illness.
That the latter has profted by her edu-
cation there is no doubt, inasmuch as she
has already sold some of the property
decided to her by her husband. The sale,
however, cannot stand, for Immediately
after her sudden disappearance her hus-
bands attorneys filed a lis pendeus, and
they are confident that the courts will re-
store to their client the property which
rightfully belongs to him and for which he
has labored for so many years. 1t was at
first supposed that Mrs. SIZZLING and Nc
Neil had departed for Australia, but it is
now certain that they are in hiding in this
city. and the suit for divorce is merely a
ruse in ended to brighten SIZZLING into a
settlement of some sort. He is determined,
however, to fight the matter to the bitter
end, and Will leave no stone unturned to
revenge himself upon the woman who so
poorly repaid his kindness and loving
solicitation.

HE WILL BE A CRIMINAL.
p. j. Reade GaOt Chance to Redeem
Himself but Failed.

Three years ago P. j. Reade. alias Re-
gan, was arreste on the charge of passing
forged checks. He was arraigned and
pleaded not guilty, butiwas held to answer
before the Superl or Court. When the case
came up for IL ial in Judge Hebbard's
court be pleaded guilty and promised to
leave the city on deep-water vessel. In
view of this promise judgment was sus-
pended.
Nothing more was heard of him till
April Is last. when he was arrested for
grand larceny. The charge was subse-
Quently reduced 10 petty larceny and he
was sentenced to- four months in the
County Jail.
At that time Detective Balm bridge,
whose special dutS is to keep track of the
record of criminals, suggested to Chief
Crowley that Reade should be brought up
for sentence on the forgery charge. but it
was thought advisa bic to give him an 9th or
chance.
A few days ago Reade was again ar
rested for petty larceny and got thirty
days. As it was apparent that he was de-
termtned to be criminal the matter was
laid before Judge H,sbbard and he issued a
bench warrant for his arrest Reade is in
the City Prison, and will appear for SEN
tence before Judge laebbard this morning
on the CID forgery ch arge.

those who assisted at the ceremony were
Judge and Mrs. William 7. Wallace, Miss
Rometta Wallace, Mr.. and Mrs. Ryland
Z. Wallace, General Sheehan, who is the
brides brotber-in-law, and the three Misses
Sprague, sisters of the groom. Little

year-old daughter, was also one Of the
most interested spectators.

roses. Behind the prie-dieu chairs where
the bride and groom knelt to receive the
Archbishop's blessing. an alcove had been
beautifully filled in with falling ropes Of
trailing smiIax, tasseled with pink chrys-
anthemums and crimson carnations.
Even for the suspicious occasion the
family had not thrown off its mourning.
Mrs. and Miss Wallace were elegantly but
very simply gowned in black walking
dresses. The brides dress was Of black
and white silk. Indeed. there was abso-
lutelY no toilet display, except perhaps in
the case of little Isabelle Donahue. who
wore pretty artistic frock of pale yellow
silk.
The ceremony took place at half-past 2,
and was performed absolutely without any
Of the usual accessories of fashionable
wedding. There were no music, no brides
maids, no groomsmaD. The BRIDE was not
even given away, but Archbishop Riordan
officiated in such an earnest manner and
all those present were such near and dear
well-wis hers of the bride and groom, that
the simple service was really more i'm
pressive and sincere than many brilliant
weddings that are performed with all pos
sibIe pomp and ceremony.
AS soon as the marriage was duly solem-
nized those present withdrew to the ad join

cut There was 30 set breakfast, but
light refreshments were partaken of, after
which the bride ana groom Immediately
took their departure.

GLEANINGS.
How Mr.. Titman Clinched His
Bargain With Harrington.
THE CHECK THAT DID IT
John Slattery Was a Bidder For The
Property and Went Mr.. Titman
Better by $1,000.

The deal by which Mr.. Charles Il. Tit
man secured the Harrington property at
the corner of Main and Centre streets is
the talk of the town and has precipitated
much speculation as to what will be done
with the property Mr.. Titman paid S27.
600 for the place, $500 less than the figure
reported on Saturday
Mr., Titman did not get the property
without the exercise of some diplomacy.
When he reached Mr.. Harington's home
in Scranton Saturday morning to make
the purchase he found that a telegram
from John Slattery of this place had
reached the house ahead of him. The
telegram asked Mr.. Harrington to hold off
until Monday for an offer of SOS 600
Mr.. Titman had been dickeriug for the
property for some time aud it nettled him
to see the high bid staring him in the face
at the eleventh hour. He determined to
take the bull by the horns and holding a
long narrow piece of oruameuted paper
in his extended hand he said, "NIr Har
ipgton here is certified check for S21, 600
Which do you want the check, or the
property p'
The property owner shifted himself in
his well upholstered chair, turned the
Slattery telegram over two or three times
as if trying to consult the sender, and
then said, "Well, l guess it's all right
You can have it," And that settled it
Harrington and Titman went to a lawyer,
Office and when the purchase price wa,
written on the deed the certified CHECK
was handed over.
Mr.. Titman will not make any imme
diate changes in the property In tn
spring he will tear down the frame build
Ing at the Market street end of the prop
erty and erect brick building with three
storerooms fronting on Centre street
There is also possibility that the upper
part of the remainder of the property viii
be altered and improved for hotel pur
| poses.
There was a rumor that Mr. Titmar
contemplated putting a theatre on thr
| property When seen by a reporter thi
morning the gentleman stated that If hD
should be able TO purchase the Scheiny
property at a reasonable figure he woulc
build first class opera house.
