A Sensation in Toulouse.

PARIS, March 1.-The scandals at Toulouse of which the criminal de- partment of the Government was compelled to take cognizance are as- suming grave proportions.

A ROMANTIC MARRIAGE.
The Old Story Of Cupid Defying Lock smith and Prison Walls "A fathers Vigilance out witted at Red
 field, Ark.

On Sunday the 10th inst. at the residence of MT. and Mrs Renfrow, were united in marriage Miss Carrie Hexter, of Chicago, and Mir. Lewis Hood, of Russellville, this state
 Rev W. W. Christie, the Methodist minister of this place, officiating. The incidents attending this mar riage are interesting as itwas evi- dently case of love at first sight. About the first of last September Mr. Hood went to Chicago to attend a school of Pharmacy and had been there but short time when he met the young lady and fell desperately in love with her. Love was mutual and for short time they were happy in those pleasurers and confidence which lovers only know how to enjoy. But it is a well known fact that the course of true love hardly ever runs smoothly, and though no fault of their own, their case was not to be an exception The young lady is Hebrew and has been brought up in the religion and belief of her people, and when the father found out that his daughter had fal- len in love with MT Hood who is a gentle, hesternly forbid the meet ing of the young couple again and threatened his daughter with a severe penalty if she should disobey him. Not daunted by this the lovers continued to meet and the stolen in- terviews seemed only the sweeter and as the sequel shows have ended in the uniting of two souls with but a single thought, two hearts that beatas one. " Miss Hexter arrived in Redfeid about two weeks ago hay. ing secretly left the home of her childhood, her father, mother, sister and friends to link her fortunes with those of the man sheloves She is a handsome and accomplished lady and MT. Hood is fortunate in gaining such partner. The handsome groom is the only son of Mrs. Hattie Chalfant and is gentleman of culture and re- fnement. The writer extends to Mr.

THINGS DRAMATIC.

That distinguished American trage- dian. Creston Clarke. comes from rare old acting stock. His father was John Sleeper Clarke and his mothers name was Asia Booth, sister of Edwin Booth. This accounts for the brilliant repef- toire of classical plays he will appear in this season, such as Hamlet" Fools Revenge" Don Caesar de / Bazan," "Richelieu," Much Ado About Noth- ing" Richard IT," "Othello," "Mer- chant of Venice" Faint Heart Ne'er Won Fair Lady and ''The Raven"
 For some years past one of the most welcome attractions at our best play houses has been the Hanlon Bros.' start ling spectacular play "Fantasma." Our old friend returns to us this season at OBrien's opera house in a new dress, and with many new features in the way of surprisingly new tricks, new mechani- cal devices and entirely new scenery, and who with a magnificent company, among. whom are George H. Adams, the fa- nous clown, who cannot be otherwise than funny, and whose antics, grimaces. gestures and poses keep his audiences in the highest state of merriment. Miss Nettie Black, who so ably plays the fairy queen in "Fantasma" Is also soprano of high order She delights every one with her rendition of the popular songs of the day. Another musician of de- served Eaerit with the company Is Miss Pauline Glidden, most accomplished cornet soloist. A pleasing feature of this years. production of "Fantasma" is Miss Gertrude Lamar in the beautiful Spanish dances, which require grace and great agility in their performance. Miss Sadie Stevens is also among the mu- sical contingent of this splendid com pany, and she has a pure. sweet voice when singing some of the favorite bal lads of the period.
 The McDonough brothers. grotesque dancers. are truly mystifying In their gyrations. jumps and peculiar poses.
 On the whole, "Fantasma, will this year be better than ever before, as be- sides the above mentioned artists, many specialists of renown have been engaged especially for this season.
