he being accustomed to pay frequent visits
here, slipping away from his business in
Washington for that purpose.
1t was here that Price met his second
wife, Miss kirkpatrick. who lived on
High street, and whose father was with
the firm OF Francis Denmcad Il Sons malt
dealers. There was a rather remarkable
story related OF Prices courtship and mar
rage to the young lady by Michael Cou!a-
han. manager of the Baltimore Coupe Com
pany here. and who knew Price well, they
both being in the same business and often
meeting one another.
According to Coulahan's story. which
he vouches for as being true in every
pa rticular, Price took Miss Kirkpatrick
out for ride one afternoon, and they
were married that night. 1t seems that
one Of Prices sons was paying marked
attention to the young lady or was en-
ga ged to her at the time.
Price drove her to Druid Hill Park, and
from there to Prospect Hill, which over
looks large amount Of territory. When
this point was reached Price stopped the

be better than wedding yourself to poor
young fellow, who has nothing?''
The story goes that Miss kirkpatrick
was greatly impressed and consented to be
come his wife. They returned to the city
and the ceremony took place that night
Two children,were born to them, both
of them girls One of them, Blanche,
fifteen years old, was at home when her

yesterday and last night with sincere
regret.
Mr.. Price had an extremely large ac-

During the Star route and Howgate

valuable Information to the police 1t was
during Capt. Howgate's first trial, be-
fore he escaped, that Mr. Price made use
of his information very cleverly to col

that time in Jail and used to have
carriage each morning to bring him up
to court. The bill grew and grew, and
when it was presented the prisoner would
defer the payment with promises for the
future. until finally patience ceased to be
virtue.
Then it was that Mr.. Price went to the
captain and told him frankly thatunless the
bill was paid at once he might be persuaded
to 20 on the witness stand and testify
for the prosecution. The bill was paid at
once, and thereafter the trip from the
