Gould Kockwo.ll has been known as ft clofO-llntod man , and his chief occupa- timi nittwiirnil tfl I in ill Wilt chilli ; that his dollars did not escape him. Ilia wife died bovenil years ago. Ho had no children and his only possible benefic iary was thought to be the Episcopal church , of which ho was a member. So when ho began to show un unmistakable fondness for the booioty of young people the church frowned. It is related that ho proposed to several young women , but without success. Frequent failure did not daunt him , and ho mot with un expected success in his post-meridian love muking about a month ago. The youtig lady was Iliss Mary Louise Den- man , whose former homo was Navesink , N. Y. The 12 o'clock train pulled out for New York among the cheers of a largo crowd and the sounding of torpedoes. It was a gala day inlltdgofleld. Every ono for miles around joined in wishing the couple happiness , and it is said that the only per-ons that view the proceedings with displeasure are the church people. They are unsparing in their denuncia tion of the eliit of a girl that has de prived them of an expected windfall. One of the most romantic incidents that has ever taken place on the great Sioux reservation culminated in the mar riage of Kitink Foot and Miss Mary C ra/.y Hull , both full blooded Indians , at Lo\\or Undo agency the other day. An Indian named Tommy Tompkins had been engaged to Mary Crazy Bull. Tommy had bought a new suit of _ clothes , and Mary's friends and relatives had joined together and purchased her a complete wedding outfit. Numerous presents had been procured , and a wed ding feast was arranged for. All the Indians and employes at the agency were greatly interested in the ulTair. At this juncture Frank Foot , one of the attractive young bucks of the tribe , appeared on the scene , says n C'lmmbcTlain , S. D. , dispatch to the Chicago Inter-Ocean. The night before the wedding was to have occurred Frank persuaded Mary that ho was the proper man' for her to marry , and both being apparently of the hiimo mind they eloped. On the following day Tommy , tin ? discarded lover , mot Foot , and an encounter took place , which resulted in the loss of considerable of Foot's blood. Frank took his punishment very quietly , pocketed his pride , washed the blood from his face , proceeded to the agency , and a quiet marriage ceremony was per formed , the Rov.

Arnold later concluded to Keek a fortune In the west and loft his wife at Clark's Mills , after lovingly promising to send for bur as soon as cir cumstances permitted. IIo didn't tell his wife where ho was going , and after spending borne years in Michigan , Indi ana , Illinois , Missouri and Kansas , trav eled as ctinvasman for Foropaugh's men- nguriu and circus.

About a jear after her husband abaiidoned her she received a letter from u friend , mailed at a small town in Pennsylvania , whit'h stated that her husband had been drowned.

Ilad there not been a timely Interposition she would now bo the mate of a bigamist. Exposed , her guilty lover lias disap peared. Miss Wright is ono of the prettiest voung women in the county and for over a year has received the attentions of IJenrv Lorcalletto , savs a Salesburg , Mil. , 'dispatch to the Now York World. They wcro to have been married two days ago. Many friends of the young people assembled at the county church near here and the ceremony was. bSgun. Just as the preacher \ \ as about to pronounce them man and wife a woman rushed into the church. She carried u letter , which .sho waved above her head. Straight to the altar she walked ami declared her self the aunt of Lorcalletto's wife , who is living in an adjoining county. The letter , she said , was from her niece. She handed the missive to the preacher and requested him to read it aloud. Lercal- letto htooil pale and incapable of speech , while the woman about to become his wife grasped liisj arm for comfort. The minister read the letter and when ho had finished Miss Wright swooned. Ler- callette , in the excitement , left the church and disappeared. The wedding of Lyman Davis , nephew of Governor Hill , and Miss Belle Snyder of Klmira , has been indefinitely post poned , says an Elmira dispatch to the Now York Times. This is said to bo duo to the interference of the prospective groom's distinguished uncle , who , hav ing learned by experience , knows that Davis is not 'able to support himself , much less a wife. Al Hitchcock , ono of the governor's trusted friends , was in the city this week , and after explaining the situation of atTairs to Miss Snyder , she reluctantly consented to recall the invitations and send buck the presents already re ceived. No blame is attached to MH- ) Snyder in the matter , she being held in the highest esteem by all who know her , and the only reason for the postpone ment of the marriage is the ono hero given. Davis is now in Newark. N. J. , where ho is employed by the United States electric light company. The young people ple both attended the academy here and it was shortly after Davis left that they wore engaged. Miss Snyder is the daughter of a widow and has been a clerk in several stores here. "Oh , I have married the wrong man , " was the exclamation of Henry V. Moore's bride , as at the conclusion of the mar riage at the church she burst into tears , to the consternation of the guests and the olllciating clergyman. The young lady is the daughter of James Hart , a well-to-do farmer , and the weeding took place in Montgomery county. On being asked by the minister , Rev. W , P. Poor , who the right man was , the weeping bride pointed to a youth who had served her husband inthe capacity of best man. This deeply affected the bridegroom and lie also burst into tears. The bride groom and the young man who stood up with him had been friendly rivals for hot- hand. The latter is now prostrated and it is feared that ho will lo-o his mind in con sequence of the young woman's tardy dis covery , says an Amsterdam , N. Y. , dis patch to the San Francisco Examiner. After considerable coaxing Mrs. Moore was induced to accompany her husband on a bridal trip to Now York. A Now York letter in the St. Louis Republic says : Years ago , HO runs the story , u Now Yorker came penniless to a friend , borrowed ยง 2,000 without Iwlng able to glvo other security than his bare word , and started went to begin life anew. The lender remained behind for years without hearing from the borrower , and linallyn \ reduced by misfortune to ab ject poverty. Not many days ago , when about to bo evicted for non-payment of rent , ho bogged his w.iy across the Courtlandt street ferry with the hope of tlnding employment with an ac quaintance in .lersoy City. As ho left the ferry boat a crowd from an incoming train was hastened on board , ami ono of the travelers stopped him and claimed acquaintance. It was the man to whom ho had lent $2,000. Ho hud eomo back rich from fortune-hunting. The two returned to Now Yprk , dined together , and exchanged experiences. The returned fortune-seeker , on Hading his old-thno benefactor penniless , drew a check and handed it to him. It was for $100,000 , and in a few days it wna followed by $000,000 moro $1,000,000 in gratitude for that early favor. Some eleven years ago a family named Welch robided on a farm at , Now Wash ington , near Joltoreouvjllo , Ind. , sayqu Louisville , Ky. , telegram to the Now York Herald. On the adjoining farm lived a charming Uttlo maiden named Nancy Davis. The Welch family shortly afterward moved to Parsons , Kan , Johnny Welch was then u mere boy about Nancy's ago. Nancy was Johnny' , sweetheart. Both shed tears when they parted , and both promised to remain true to each other. Johnny started on foot nnd penniless three months ago to join his sweetheart. IIo reached JetTersonvillo a week ago after many vicissitudes and hardships , nigged and hungry , having traveled 800 miles in his desire to see Nancy. IIo was found by an undo yesterday , who procured him a good position near Now Washington , where ho says ho will re main until ho has earned enough to buy a suit of clothes and then will call on Nancy and ask her to marry him. This morning the Rev. Henry M. Bacon , for fifteen years pastor of the Westminister Presbyterian church of Toledo , O. , and now pastor of the Con gregational church at that , place , was married to Mrs. Susan S. Orr at the homo of her brother. Dr. Spottswood , in this city , says a Torres Haute , Ind. , special to the Chicago Times. Themar- nago is the culmination of a romance. Dr. Bacon twenty-live years ago i\a- , en gaged to > Irs. Orr at Toledo. She was at that time a leading beauty there. Her parents opposed the marriage and the girl was sent away to school. The separation was complete , her where abouts being kept a secret , from young Bacon , tlien a rising theological student. Each in time married , Mrs. Orr's hus band djing some years ago and Dr. Bacon's wife dying about two years ago. The Congregational pulpit in this city being vacant the Heiv. Bacon was invited here temporarily , and ho hero learned the whereabouts of his first love. A meeting took place , the lovers wore re united , and today they were undo one after all these long years. Mrs. Orr's father was the Rev. John Schemmerhorn of Uticn , N. Y. , a prominent man in his day , who served as Indian commissioner under President Jackson. Through a mutual acquaintance Miss Christie McAskiel of 10 Middlesex street , thirty-seven years old , became ac quainted with George W. Sbopard of Los Angeles , Cnl. , some time ago , and since then the two have corresponded. Shcpurd came hero a few days ago , pro posed marriage , and was accepted. The wedding was fixed for at Vioth's hotel on Tremont street , says a Boston special to the Now York Sun. Shepard , it is said , induced Miss McAskiol to draw $000 from the savings bank and intrust it to him , to bo forwarded by express to their pro spective homo in Los Angoles. SheiKirtl has not been seen since receiving the money , and although Miss McAskiel , the clergyman , and witnesses were at Yieth's hotel tonight promptly on time , Shepard ard came not. Miss McA&kiel is greatly prostrated over the disappearance of her mojioy and lover. IJfM'IVTIES. Rev , Lltclwait Yes , they are getting to bo mere pair o' D's.

THE FIRST GUN OF THE WAR It was not the Famous "Shot Heard 'Round tha World. " TOLD BY A MAN WHO WAS THERE How the titarof the West was Driven from I 'ort Sumpter ami How the Scoret of Her Coining Leaked Out. In the smoking room of the Astor house the other evening two grizzled Grand Army men sat chatting with a middle-aged Virginian. Their talk drifted to the stirring events of the spring of Istfl , in which all throe hail taken part , s.iys the Now York Sun. The Virginian mentioned that , at the time , ho was serving under Be.iureganl at Charleston. "By the way , ' ' broke iu the elder of the two union veterans , "tomorrow will bo the anniversary of the fifing of the first gup of the war. Did you happen to see the flash of that famous shot ! " "Yes , " replied the evrebel , "I was only a youngster then , but I remember the scene as distinctly as if it wcro yesterday. On the night of April 10 , twenty-nine years ago. I was with the battalion of artillerists who slept expectantly behind the low sand hills of lorns Island , just ] opposite Fort Sumter. ' \Vo were aroused about two hours before daylight next morning to take part iu the bombardment for which wo had been getting leady during many we.iry weeks. Wo had been told that it would begin at n o'clock in the morning , and that the signal would bo the firing of a shell from a mortar battery upon James island , on the south side of the haibor , midway between our position and the city. When the hoar came we were all in our places peering anxiously and impatiently neross the placid and starlit waters , now at the dim outlines of the fort , now in the direction of thiwoodcd shoto of James Islandwhem-e the sIsjKil shot was to come. I do not know what caivsed the delay , but wo had to wait fully aiThouievery minute of which seemed to us an ago. before any sound broke the stillness of the night , except the monotonous roll of tKe * surf unon the beach before us. At last , abAUt 4 o'clock , when the first signs of the coiuaig d.wn could be dis cerned in the easteuuirjcy , and whoa most of us had como to the cpurlusiou that tin- per formance was to be indefinitely postponed , wo were suddenly relieved by the welcome flush of the mortar and the'diill boom which served as the long roll for the chain of battcriui which encircled the denied fott. Thousands of eyes followed the lighted fuse which marked the curved flight of that first shell until it burst in a little round cloud of pearl- gray smoke high nbdve the parapet upon which Major An Jerson and his men were si lent watchers. Then , in a moment , the quiet of the scene w.is at an end. Tun whole harbor seemed suddenly to wako up. Buttery after battery opened flro. Hilled siege cannon were a novelty at that time , and we had none : but the range was short and .shells , round shot , and red hot shot were mined ui m the fort with a rapidity which in a few hours rendered the whole interior , excepting the bomb-proof casements , a me- of burning ruins. The war had indeed begun lit last. "But that mortar shell from James Isl.md was not what you just now culled it , 'the first gunof the war.'thoimh it is surprising how many well-informed people , both north and south , believe that it wa5. Perhaps Whitti- cr's verse , j The shot heard 'round the world , I may have helped the spread of this strange I mistake , but every ono who has Carefully read about the owning | of the war ought to remember that the Hist gun was , in fact , fired some time Ixjfore the bombardment of Fort Sumter. " Seeing that his Grand Army friends wore interested as well as U little pu/zled by his assertion , the Virginian continued : "Tho first gun of the war was , of course , the shot which drove back the steamer Star of the West when she tried to enter Charles ton harbor \ \ ith supplies for the little garri son of regulars shut up in Fort Sum ter. But , as far as I know , the trno story of how that shot came to ho fired has never been told I held a position at the time which gave mo an , inside view of what was going on , and I well remember the elation of General Klpley , who was in imme- dlato command of our works in tin ; harbor , tit the lucky circumstance whk-n enabled us to prevent relief from reaching Major Anderson and his men. "It was long before the completion of the iMtterlcs which worn to batter down Tort Sumter with their concentrated fire , that u dctuchmeht of pupils of the stiite military academy of South Carolina , usually known as the citadel cadets , were sent toman u small redoubt on Morris Island clo-.o to the beach nnd facing the harbor cntrancu This \\ork had been hastily thrown up so as to command the main ship canal , and the cadets , whilu la boring to strengthen the position , got some gixxl lessons in practical military engineer ing.

Ho somehow learned about the plan to provision Fort Sumter. nnd promptly sent the news by mail to the Mercury The important tidings con tained in hU letter were received In the after noon and immediately communicated to our headquarters , The oncers in command of the batteries which flanked the harbor en trance on cither side were at once notified to bu on the alert , and the Star of the AVest crossed the bar at dawn nest inornintr , only to find her passage to Fort Sumpter disputed , by the cadet artillerists of Morris Island. The first shot of the war was fired across her bow. This was a kind of reception she had not bargained for ; and , to the disgust of the expectant garrison of the besieged fort , who were watching the scene from the parapet , she tiu-ned right around , took to her heels and an hour later had become a mere speck on the ocean horbon. Ono of the cadet olli- eers afterwards told mo that they all felt greatly relieved at the quick departure of the steamer , as by some blunder , the young gun ners had been left \erv shoit of ammunition and had actually onh Irilf a do/en rounds on hand when they opened lire. Had the com mander of the Star of the West been willing to take the chances , it is more thun likely that she might have run the gauntlet un scathed. ' This is the true story of the first gun of the war. The icdoulit from \\hieh it was tired was ut once christend 'The Star of the West of Battery , ' and was known by th.it name until thtLV jears later , when Moms Island was finally evacuated by our forces.1' "Let me out and I'll build the fire.
