A BRIDAL TRAIN.
Four Happy Couples Arrive at the
Central Railroad Eeenot.

Train No. 800 of the Long Branch di-
vision of the Central Railroad drew into
the depot last night looking as though
it had struck a wagon laden with rice
and old shoes. The train had not hit
anything, but there were four bridal
couples on it. This accounted for the
rice and shoes.
The first couple to alight were Murray
e. Foster and Celia Patterson, who
boarded the train at Red Bank The
couple hailed from Atlantic Highlands
and We're married early yesterday after
noon.
Oscar Hesse, Jr.. and Miss Jamesotta
Thompson of Red Bank were the second
couple to alight.
Both these couples boarded the train
at Red Bank to avoid an ovation. They
were recognized at the depot however,
and their pains, were for naught. The
ovation was the stronger when their
friends learned how they had tried to
outwit them.
Roll de la Russelle and Miss Mary Err
win of Niddleport We're the third couple,
who, smiling and happy, alighted from
the train and tripped to the boat.
The fourth couple were from Elizabeth
port, but their identity was kept a Sc
cret.
All hands boarded the ferryboat Central
and sailed to New York.

HARRIET TURNED UP AGAIN.
Patient who Worries Warden
Osborne and HnspIsaI Doatarn

A call came into the City Hospital last
night for the ambulance to hurry to
Hedding NJ. E. Church. on Montgomery
street. The call said a woman in the
church had tainted. When the ambulance
arrived at the church the driver was
surprised to find that the sick woman
was one who had been discharged from
the Hospital yesterday as cured. Her
name was Harriet Clinton and her age
2s years. She at first said she lived at
No. AS Paterson street, Hoboken, but
later denied this.
Harriet was taken to the Hospital last
week and, although she appeared to be
suffering, still the doctors were unable to
discover what her ailnaent was AL
though she appeared to be sane her talk
at times was irrational. She abused the
doctors and refused to eat the food given
her, frequently throwing it clear across
the room. She annoyed the other pa
tients, and as she appeared to be well
Warden Osborne ordered her discharged
She refused to go into the ambulance
and when she was finally hoisted in she
said the address she gave was wrong
Then it was impossible to send her in the
ambulance and she was told to get on a
car and go to her home. She left and
the doctors at the Hospital breatheG
easier. but to their dfsnaay she turned
up again last night in just as contrary
d mood as when she first visited them.

ROsEBBRY's RETIREMENT.
Rather a Surprise TO Politicians
Though Much Dented by His Party.


LONDON, Oct. s, 1S96.-In the political
clubs it was moi expected that Lord Rose
berry would resign the leadership of ais
party at present, despite the agitation
against him. The advanced Liberals de-
sire a more progressive and aggressive
policy, though large section of the par
ty approve Lord Rosebery's GOODNESS in a
time of feverish excitement. Many LIB
eral members of the HOUSE of Commons
wired to the Office of the Liberal party
in Westminster today asking for infor-
nation in regard to Lord R3sebery's S
withdrawal and received the reply that
the ex-Premiers letter of resignation was
wholly unexpected, not even Mr. Ellis
the LIBERAL Whip, to whom his letter of
resignation was addressed having had a
hint that it was impending.
The resignation of Lord Rosebery is the
sole topic of discussion in the Reform and
National Liberal clubs where it is as
snmed that Sir William Harcourt VIA
succeed TO the party leadership, though
many of the rank and file say that that
VIII not solve the situation. These per-
sons predict that within z few years the
progressive opinion of the country will
compel the present Liberal leaders to go
with their hats in their hands to Mr..
Chamberberlain and accept his leadership
upon his own terms
The Stair" commenting on the resig-
nation of Lord Rosebery from the leader
ship of the Liberal party. says:-.Lord
Rosebery has resigned and Sir William
Harcourt reigns in his stead. The Liberal
party will never again be led by Peer.
Mr.. Gladstone chose Lord Rosebery as
his successor to the leadership, and it is
Mr.. Gladstone who has unwittingly de-
posed him."
Mr.. T. P. O'Connor, NJ. p, says in his
paper, the Sum-
Lord Rosebery never had fair chance.
whenever he indicated policy it was
lmmed ately thrown over by his sup
posed colleagues. Nevertheless. everybody
Knows that Mr.. Gladstone stood outside

defaced and wrecked the Liberal partv
since his retirement

Sheer ignorance has betrayed the Radical

IT WAS A DREAM.

The New York morning papers published
today an account of the alleged robbery
of Julius Calls, merchant of Youngs-
town, Ohio. in Pullman parlor car in
the Erie trainshed on Tuesday night The
story emanated from Calls. who said
that while passing from one car to an
other two men had seized him and robbed
him of s2250 and check for large sum.
Although the supposed robbery took place
eight minutes before the train started
the train had passed Tuxedo. When asked
why he had not reported the occurrence
Immediately he said he thought it would
be of no use. Detective Brown, of the
Erie Ha.Toad, investigated the case and
quickly arrived ait the conchlsion that
the story was an invention. Today Cap

TWO OLD SPORTS IN LIMBO.
Bicycle Cop and Two Members of the
Violet Circle Said They Were Racing

Violet Circle Said They Were Racing
Thomas Robinson 81 years old, OF No.
45l Breecker street. and john Lynch, five
years his senior, of No. 3S7 Fourth street,
were arrested yesterday afternoon for
racing upon the Boulevard with their
horses. Bicycle Copa Winters, who
made the arrest, testified that the men
were driving ait least sixteen miles an
hour, and presented two young bicycle
chewing gum fiends Michael Strogauf
Stansbury and Berthe Lambert, to corr
roborate his testimony. The ''kfds' wfho
are famil ar sights on the Boulevard in
the colors of the Violet Circle pink tights
and purple sweaters, with green and vel
low stripe collars, corroborated every
thing the policeman testified to.
When the prisoners heard Winters tell
of the sixteen mile an hour rate they
almost had a fit from laughing. They
both told Justice Douglass that their
horses could not go more than six miles
an hour and then It had to be with the
wind.
'sWhy," said one of the men, ''they are
only old truck horses, ond we took them
out to give them Mttie exercise. We
were joking upon Their relative merits in

wir.on OF our respective nags would drop

thoroughbreds and discharged the pris-
oners.
The old sports thanked the Judge for
his kindness, and as they left the court
room they turned towards Winters and

said that they might be good judges of
