REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
! New York. April e.-In the marriage OF
Gabriel Abu Kali. a Syrian, who came to
| this country ten years ago, and Miss Mar
garetta johnson Of Buffalo. who in the
seventy years Of her spinsterhood has ac-
| cumulated fortune OF more than half a
million dollars. there Is a most remark
abie union of youth with age.
After a courtship of several years the
marriage was solemnized on February
in the Church of st. Chrysostom. at Sew
enth avenue and Thirty-ninth street. by
the Reverend Thomas Henry Sill, rector
Of the church. Since that time Mr.. Kali
has continued to keep his apartment in the
Hotel Marie Ant0inette While WI his aEea
time in Buffalo. She Is said to be closing
up her affairs there. with the purpose OF
soon coming to New York to make her
home with her husband.
1t was while the young Syrian was sell
ing ORIENTAL jewelry In Buffalo that Miss
Johnson met him. She soon became inter-
ested in his personality far more than in
his wares. That was between five and six
years ago Although before she met Kali
nothing had been farther from Miss john
sons thoughts than matrimony. she found
that she had become so attached to the
young man that her life was incomplete
without him.
1t appears to have been about two years
ago that the subject Of marriage first be-
gan to be discussed between them. Such
of her friends as she took into her conf
derce warned Miss johnson against TAX
ing the step and pointed to the difference
in their ages and to the fact that while
she was wealthy the Syrian was compare
lively poor But protests of all sorts were
useless in turning her from her purpose.
HAPPY FOR THE FIRST TIME.
Until few days ago the marriage was
kept so close a secret that hardly anyone
was aware of 1t. At the Marie Antoinette.
where Mr.. Kali has been living for the
last year. there was a great surprise when
it was learned that he was no longer a
bachelor, and in Buffalo the announce

Drain In the Cellar of the Building Leaking
Badly.

Postmaster Roddv has troubles of
his own. Some time ago we reported
a break in the sewer pipe connected
with n pipe in MI. Roddy's cellar,
which he was very indignant about,
but Monday capped the climax when
Mr.. Roddv found his cellar the re-
cepticle for all the refuse flowing from

in number, ana ho made mp his mind
that something had to be done towards
abating the Nuisance. He saw DR..

Mr.. Quinlan opened up a spot by DR..

to attach n hose pipe connected with
a street hydrant so rs to wash out the
sewer pipe which is clogged up be-
tween the buildings there and the
sewer basin on the corner of Augusta
street. Mr.. Roddy says the sewer
pipe is only a six-inch pipe and alto
gother too small and he imagined
what the result might be with such n
rush Of water as Mr.. Quinlnn proposed
to send into the pipe, 30 he got one
of his sons to open a hole on his own

his cellar as the water is lying under
them. This goes to show how much

at 10 O'Clock, when the ticket agent,

up the place, she told the fellow to
leave. He refused to do this and said
that he was going to stay all day.
The agent went for help and during
her absence Miss Anna Brown, who
keeps a candy store across the street,
happened to look into the waiting
room and was surprised to see the
man behind. the ticket window. She
quickly got help and as they entered
the waiting room door the thief
jumped out of q window. They gave
chase and caught the fellow after a
long run and made him return all
that they supposed he had stolen,
after which they let him go.
Upon investigation it was found that
