CluMG TO HIM IN THE COURT.
Minerley's sister-in-Law Wept
When He Was Held for Trial. !;
Although Only q Child She Lived
with Him as His Wife.

An affecting scene occurred in the
Harlem Police Court this afternoon
when Justice Welde held for trial In
$500 bail Paul Minerley. who 10 charged
with having lived for five months with
his twelve-year-old sister-in-law, Katie
Minerley. as her husband.
The little girl threw her arms about
Minerley and wept as II her heart would
break exclaiming: "Oh. don't take him
away from me. / love him.
Mtnerley. who IL three times as old as
the girl. returned the embrace warmly
and tears stood in his eyes.
The odd couple had to be separated
with force by Court Officer Henley.
The child was the only witness at the
examination to-day, and II was upon her
story alone that the Justice determined
to hold the prisoner.
In April last Minerley lived with his
father-in- law, who was also his uncle
at 800 West One Hundred and Eigh-
teenth street. Minerley's wife had died
a few years, previously. Five months
ago. when the old man died, he made
Minerley swear that he would take care
OF Katie.

a pretty clear record for eight years of
service. He voted aye. however. on the
motion to dismiss.
Probably for fear that the Board
would be accused OF favoring Clark,
President Martin announced that the
Boards leniency with him was alto
gether due to the fact that Clark was
old and a sufferer from asthma, and
that he had devoted the best years of
his life to the service. He called atten-
ton. also, to the fact that during the
past twenty-eight years no charge had
been made agi inst Clark until those
made by Mrs. Thurow had ccme to light.

The verdict OF the Commissioners was

The gorgeousness of wedding among

portion to the unhappiness Of the bride
afterward. It is to be hoped, however,
that this will not be the case with
sweet Princess Alix of Hesse when she

cess Alix is Queen Victoria's favorite
granddaughter, it is said, and her maj
esty gives $4,000 of her little skimp-

young lady. The marriage festivities
will be even more splendid than any of
those witnessed in Europe in the past

Some years before the death of Henry
Ward Beecher he pointed out to his wife
a corner in Brooklyn whereon he hoped
one day to build an ideal house which
should be his and her home for the re-
mainder of their lives. After his death
a house was built on the site he so much
admired, and Mrs. Beecher, loyal to his
decision, has rented and lived therein
ever since. Now, however, she has de-
cided that she must give it up. the rent
of $500 a year being quite beyond her
financial resources. Mrs. Beecher is en-
tirely frank in avowing the reason Of
her decision to leave the location her
husband liked and makes the statement
without repining or complaint.
