Arrested Bride of Yale Athlete.

A dispatch from Reading Pa, says: The
welded bliss of Harry S. Batchelder, the
college foot ball player. who gave up his
law scholarship at Yale to come to Reading
and wed Miss May Cassidy, cashier in Berg
Brothers store here, was rudely interrupt
ed Friday by the arrest of his young wife
on the charge of embezzling a sum alleged
to aggregate from 81 500 to 1000 from her
employees.
When the first warrant, issued by Magfs-
trate Miller was served on Mrs. Batchelder,
an aunt entered bail in the sum of 81 600,
but several hours later, VIXEN she learned
the full extent of the charges and the
amount of the alleged shortage she with
drew from the bond, and the young wife
was rearrested on bail piece Fortunately
for her, another bondsman was secured and
Mrs. Batchelder is now free from restraint
1t is alleged that during the last three
months that she was cashier for Berg
Brothers the young woman distracted the
sums she is charged with having embezzled
from the bank deposits. She is said to
have used two bank books for this pur-
pose-one containing the actual deposits
which the firm never saw, the other con-
tanning figures she entered to correspond
with her books. This last book was for
the inspection of the firm.

Murphy Says There's No Doubt Where

said:

discuss the availability of candidates with
the other delegations We were instruct
ed by the state convention to vote as
unit for Judge Parker, and while 1t was
not our belief that he was the strongest
candidate we naturally obeyed the man

here with the belief that Cleveland was the
strongest man to nominate and the easiest
man to elect.

that in this conclusion we did not agree
with the majority of the delegates. Now
that the convention has spoken and paid

TO PASS ON "JIM CROW" CARS.
Negro Refused to Enter Separate Car
and Was Elected.

dispatch from Philadelphia says: Suit
was instituted in the common pleas court
Friday by Willis King, colored, against the
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington
Railroad Company to recover 5000 dam
ages for alleged ejectment from a train.
When the case comes up for trial at the
next term Of court 1t will be decided for the
first time whether the act of the Maryland
legislature providing for Jim Crow cars"
for the transportation of colored people
will hold under the law.
King says he bought ticket for Balti-
more on July 1 last and took the train
the same day. His ticket was accepted,
he declares, and he rode unmolested until
he reached Wilmington, Del. When the
train was leaving that city the conductor
informed the plaintiff that they were
about to enter the territory of Maryland
