Vineland, N. j., October 30.-There
was to have been wedding at the
home of pretty Miss Susie Lands yes
terday afternoon. The guests assem-
bled, the minister was there, and all
the arrangements had been made for
the event, but the bridegroom be
failed to appear.
Frederick Gascoigne, the recreant
lover, cannot be found. and ii is re-
ported that he left the town early yes
terday morning. His deserted sweet
heart is Frustrated, and some OF her
friends are breathing harsh words
against Gascoigne. Others. however.
have called to congratulate Miss Lands
on her narrow escape from marrying
a fellow so unworthy Of her.
The couple regularly attended the
services at the First Presbyterian
Church. and apparently looked forward
with delightful expectancy to their ap-
preaching marriage. Everyone thought
it love match. For days Miss Lands
had been at work on her trousseau. the
wedding cake had been baked and a
large number of guests had been invit-
ed. On Tuesday evening the couple
called at the residence OF Rev. DR.. D.

laid On : shelf.
Bounds and his wife went West.
where the husband was employed on a.
railroad as brakeman. A year ago he
was killed in Colorado. He was a
member of the Railway Brotherhood
The latter would pay no insurance TO
the widow unit. she furnished mar
riage certificate. This she could not
do.
She wrote to Donohoe. but he had
forgotten all about the marriage. Then
the widow came on to Wilkesbarre. but
the justice could not identity her.
The woman returned 10 the West
broken hearted. Two months or so ago
Mrs. Donohoe was cleaning house.
when she came upon her husband's
dilapidated old 'stove-pipe" hat of
1884. In the lining was record of the
marriage. 1t could be read plainly.
Squire Donohoe then forwarded the
hat and record of the marriage to the
widow, now residing in Montana.

acknowledgement from Mrs. Bounds. She
said that the hat and the 'Squire's note
had done the work, and she had been

New York, October 30.-Speculation
as to which of the mayoralty candi-
dates will fall heir to the votes that
would have gone to Henry George had
he not died, is superceoing discussion
of the issues of the Greater New York
municipal campaign. Comparatively
few regard it as likely that the young
er George can poll more than frac-
ton of the votes that would have gone
to his father, the general opinion be-
ing that the selection of the son to
carry the banner let fall from the
fathers dying hands, while appro-
pirate and touching in the abstract, is
uniting in the probabilities of poll
tics. So far as the public is aware,
young George does not represent in
any essential degree the philosophy of
his father. For the most part, it is
pointed out, the younger man has been
but worker in the journalistic ranks,
undistinguishable by any marks of spe-
cial ability beyond that which is pos

to have taken place yesterday after
noon DR.. King received a note from
!Gasccigne which tersely stated that the
marriage had been indefinitely postpon-
ed. After thinking the matter over a
few moments the clergyman. came to
the conclusion that his comforting SER
vices would be needed, and started for
the home of Miss Lands. When he
reached the house a few of the guests,
with disappointment written upon
their faces, were leaving. A note, stat
ing that the wedding had been indefln-
1tely postponed, but giving no explana-
ton, had also been received there from
Gascoigne, his sister being the messen-
ger. The couple are quite well known
among the young people here, and the
affair has created sensation.

Dancing.
Wilmington. Del, October 30.-Two
witnesses were examined privately
by Commissioner Walker in the Meade
divorce case this evening. The testi-
mony went to show the relations of the
dashing and petite blonde with H.
James, a well-known young man, VINO
has been attentive to the defendant.
When the rupture between the couple
occurred it is alleged that the husband
put spoilers on the track of his wife
to watch all of her movements.
1t was brought out in the testimony
this evening that Jane and Mrs. Meade
had been frequent visitors to the Shell
pot Park, and the couple had danced
together in the pavilion. Mrs. Mead is
a pretty waltzer, and it was shown that
she seemed pleased with James atten-
tions. 1t was also testified that james
had accompanied Mrs. Meade to dane
ing school and afterward taken her to
her home, where he remained until
very late.

DRY. IhlS latter is test which, in
the case OF at least one of the other
nominees, no one has thought of apply
ing. In this latter instance, however,
it is fair to concade to Judge Van
Wyck the point that he has been put
forward as the personality represent
ing a political organization; and this
issue, partisan responsibility as against
candidate representing a more or
less transitory movement, is one which
enters very largely into the canvass.
There is a disposition in both Repub-
lican and Democratic camps to dispute
the claim put forward by Mr. Low on
yesterday, that George, had he clearly
foreseen his demise, would have ad-
vised his followers to go into the battle
on Tuesday next under the colors of
the Citizens Union. There is also
much said about the alleged impro-
priety in Mr.. Low putting forth what
his opponents term bid for the
George vote while the corpse of the
dead leader was yet unconfined. These
criticisms are expected to have much
effect with the enthusiastic adherents
of Mr.. George, whose following, it has
been argued, was largely personal.
Whatever force there may be in all
this, it is the fact that in the betting
Van Wyck has gained more than Low
by the newer conditions. The latest
quotations are as follows:
Van Wyck VS.. field, to 2.
Van Wyck VS.. Low, IA to 5.
Van Wyck VS.. Tracy, to l.
Low VS.. Tracy, 2 to l.

closely indicative of public feeling than

Special to the Register.
Steubenville, Ohio, October 30.-The
situation at the Brilliant mill is inter-

will be done soon which will determine
whether the mill will be put into opera
ton or dismantled. Considerable mon
ey has been dropped by those who have
been interested, and they w0',ld be glad
to get their money out of the property.
The last appraisement was very low,
and the bonGholders secured it at two
thirds. The mill could be dismantled
and with the land sold for nearly
enough tc pay the purchase price The
bondholders intimate that this will be
done. 1t is said efforts are making to
form a company in Wheeling to pur-
chase and operate the works.
