A wedding took plnco in this city
ThuisJ.iy which wrxs of nn unusual
and very romantic character in norno
respects. The { jrooni wan M. W.
Shonfc , n wealthy nnd prosperous
young inillor of Elk Point , Dakota ,
nnd tlio bride was Mien At/uca Sparta ,
a lovely young lady who Imi bcun
during the past yenr a atudonfc nt
13 row neil hall , where nho vrna finishing -
ing n course of aludius in music. On
the evening of the commencement
day excreted ! ) , Wednesday , at Masonic
Hall , Mius Sparks wan ono of
the parLicipanta in the exercises ,
though not one of the graduates. Shu
attracted much attention by wearing
a hnndsomo cream-colored satin drcso ,
with oilier article. * of ornament , and
beauty , which made her look lilto a
bride. It wan in fact her bridnl outfit ,
though that fact was littln suspected
at the time , nnd the denouement has
created quite a pleasant Httlo Bonna
tion not only among lior fellow stu
dents nt Urownoll Hall , but with al
who had known her in society circles.
jHriiurjjdayn cnrrirge was observed to
urivc up to the door of the icsidoncu
of ono of the leading clergymen of tlio
Episcopalian church , of which both
bride and groom are members , the
former having been confirmed while
here. Just what transpired is not
known but the carriage contained the
couple named and tlio object of their
call was to bo made husband und wife ,
the gentleman being armed with
the nccecsary documents from
Judge Ohadwick , It nppeara
that the canons of the
church forbid the mnrria o of n di
vorced man or woman under penalty
of excommunication , nnd it is sur
mised that the reverend gentleman
WAB presenting the undcsirability of
the contemplated stop to the young
couplo. The wrath of the church ,
however , had no terrors for the dp-
votcd pair , nnd on the rofuaal of their
own clergyman to unite them , the
groom visited a well known gentleman
in the military headquarters , who
directed them to the paalor of tlio
Presbyterian church , where the neces
sary otnps were soon taken and the
twain made ono.
Now comes the romance. It ap
pears that the lady and gentleman
were both born in the east , where
their families were neighbors and
they had been acqaintod uinto child
hood. The groom was , however ,
about ton years the senior of his
bride and married the first time while
she was not yet in her toons.
Ho moved to Dakota * wont
into business and prospered , but
some domestic difllcully rcHullod in n
separation irom his wife , by whom ho
had two children.
In the meantime MiasBparks'father
had also moved to Dakota , taking his
family with him. Lust spring , ivhon
the terrible Hood was devastating the
Mitmouii valley from north to south ,
and homca and families were swept
out of existence by the mulling liver ,
whoso icy iluod formed Iho last resting
place of so many , the bride's father
was onp whoiio property waa destroyo'J.
Tiat ! liia family did not meet the fate
of their neighbors was duo entirely
to the hoioio efforts of Mr. Sireno. (
llo rode on horseback for over nixty
miles across the inundated country
and waded and swam through water
und floating ice to aavo the woman
who is now his brido. Iler father's
hoiiHo was nwopt away by the torrent
and the family took refuge on the
roof. The building lodged after being
carried n long distance , und the family
suffered long hours of cold and hunger
and exposure before help came. Mr.
Shoafo had followed the river down ,
however , and was successful nt last in
finding the girl ho loved and her fam
ily ) all nliye still. In order to reach
them ho loft hi ] horse nnd
swam out in the river to
their dangerous location. During the
night the river froze slightly and in
the morning , assisted by Shcafo , the
family made their way ono by ono to
the shore , creeping on their hands
and knees across the thin ico.
Miss Spark's brother broke
through nnd was waved by
Shenfe going in after him. Doth the
parties to this marriugo wcro sent to
tlio hospital to recover from the utloots
of their terrible experience , and
Shcafo hud wan n plnco in the young
lady's heart nro re secure than ever.
Her parontu were opposed to the
match , and wanted her' to
wait a while , but love is too
strong as pitted against human argu
ments or divine wrath , and as young
Shoafo said , "I won her fairly , and
went through ice to save her , und now
[ ' 11 go through hades but what I'll
liavo her , for I know aha loves mo. "
Fortunately ho was not compelled to
go to 1'rinco Eblia1 realm for Iris
bride , and now wo presume ha fcols
that ho is in heaven , instead of the
proverbially heated locality , which ho
was willing to skirmish around in.
The happy couple left Thursday
for Councillllulto , where they remain
ed over night , and left yesterday for
their homo in the north. It is hoped
that they may bo as happy as the
polar day is long , and there is no rea
son to fear that they will bo other
wise.

PROBABLE SUICIDE.
The Tragic End of a Rather
Romantic Life.
An Illicit Iiovo mid n Fatnl Conao-
qaonco-
About 11 o'clock yesterday two flfih-
ormon , II. 0. Paddock nnd John N.
Willis , discovered Mio body of n man
floating in the river between IJoyd's
packing house and the John Green
stone quarry. JS After securing it to the
bank they notified Coroner Jacobs
and ho went down nnd transferred
the remains , which wcro in an
advanced state of decomposition ,
to his undertaking rooms , where
nn inquest was held at . ' )
o'clock. ' From the letters and pa-
pom found on the body it was identi
fied as the rcmainn ot Jnmoa M. "V.ur-
dnnburg , a man about R8 years of ago ,
winwaa ) employed for nome time as
copyist in the county clerks olllco.
About two monthn ago his dissipation
became so noticeable , and so unfitted
him for business that ho was dis
charged. Jfor n few dayn ho was seen
about and then suddenly disappeared ,
his absence exciting but Httlo com
ment and no investigation. The dis
covery of the body , however , opened
up the pathway to what must have
been n life of considerable romance
and interest.
The deceased has n brother , a
wealthy Denver cigar and tobacco
merchant , and to him n telegram was
sent yesterday and pending the re
ceipt of a reply the body woo given
temporary burial. Vandonburg was
decided by the jury to have comu to
his death from nome causa unknown ,
but there is Httlo doubt but that ho
ended his lifo deliberately by a plunge
into the Missouri.
Among the pr.pcra of the deceased
was a packngo of letters marked
"Strictly Private. Burn these , " and
the majority were written in udolic.ito
feminine hand , and evidently by n
lady of culture and refinement. There
was no postpflico mark , but the dates
were all given and from the text
of the lotteia it appears that
the writer is n married woman , and
tliat for the pant twenty years at least ,
an air > ; ction has existed between her
and the dead man. She has three
daughters and refers In her husband
always , dimply ns ( IX " Araiultnburr ,
seems to have been anxious to havu
her got a divorce and to marry her ,
but she. mentions the fact that fllro
can only got a separation and alimony
and not an absolute divorce , which
show.3 that she is a resident ot Now
York state. In ono lettnr the fair
writer declares that the cor
respondence must cease and
that she is going to devote
her lifo in future to the care of her
daughters.
The dead man also 'seem ? to have
had a fine army record , having en
tered the three months service in
1802 , raising a company for the 174th
Now York volunteers , in which ho
went out as senior captain , After this
regiment was consolidated with the
Kt'Jd ' -served
- na lieutenant-colonel
until ho wan mustered out in October ,
1805.

The deceased was an Odd Follow
and probably a Mason , tjo , and was
evidently an educated man who was
probably hia own worst enemy.

That statement in Tin : BIK last

dog" was a six months pup. IIospo's
boy was playing with him in my yard ,
when the pup snapped him , The boy
TTOH scared nnd began to cry , when my
wife wont to him and pulled down his
stocking , but could not find the least
sign of blood , the tooth not having
punctured the skin , llospe came to
my place nnd said ho wanted to kill
the dog , nnd I told him ho could , us I
did not like to do it mynvlf.
When they oimo for the dog , Mr.
McUuno , the olllcur , told mu if I did
not want it killed , I uould take it
homo and keep it tied up. I told him
I would rather have it killed , provid
ing ho would do it himself , so as not
to > torture it. The dog d.d not have
the least sign of hydrophobia. There
was no reason for falsifying the case ,

"ST. JOSEPH'S.
A Visit to tlio Hospital on the
Hill ,
The New Addition and Re
sources of the Institution.
An Horn About Ono of the Brnvo
Nursoa at the Small Pox
Hospital.
For some time past a now building ,
of imposing appearance and dimen
sions has been noticeable from 10th
and other streets , from its location on
the summit of the hill just touth of
the Union Elovatars.
A BKK rcportur yesterday visit
ed the spot in company with Mr.
Vincent Uurkloy , and found it to bo
the new and much needed addition to
St. Joseph's hospital , the funds for
which were in great part raised by
the very successful fair nt Croighton
hall last v in tor.
The addition was designed by Mr.
Henry Toss , the architect , and in in
outward npponranco very similar to
the main building to which it is join
ed by a wing fifteen feet long and
thirly-tivo feet deep , the hospital ,
wing and addition presenting a solid
front. The main portion of the now
building is ninety feet long by about
thirty wide with largo windows open
ing out to the north nnd cast , a Herd
ing the double benefit of goad ventila
tion and ono of the most inaguiticpnt
views to bo seen from any building
site in Omaha. A largo baiomcnt
runn the entire length of the building
nnd will contain the furnaces , kitchen
etc , , thus leaving the wholouppcrpart
of the building for the use of patientp.
The reporter was shown through
the present hospital wards by the
siator in charge , and found everything
scrupulously neat , clean and comforta
ble. In the male ward there are
twenty-two beds , all of which are oc
cupied , while there are eleven more
beds in the fpmalo ward up-stairs and
several additional in the roonri form
erly occupied by the sinters , who now
use a small house in the rear of the
hospital for eating and sleeping pur
poses. The majority of our citizens
know that the hospital is in
charge of the sisters cf the
order of St. Francis , who are
educated and trained as nurses by
experience gained In similar institu
tions nnd on the battle field. Their
ivcs are devoted to the cause , nnd
when duty calls it is diflicult to select
those who should respond , as all are
anxious to go even to face death itself.
At the breaking out of the small pox
in this cily two of the sisters were detailed
tailed as nurses , Sister Xaviera and
Sister Lucilo , and while a relief was
furnished at time ? , the former re
mainpd at her post almost without in
tcrnirssion for three months and a
half. The great strain on her consti
tution had its effect in a serious spell
of typhoid fever , from which she is
just recovering , and wo are happy to
ray is out of danger.
The calls upon the institution are
very numerous , there being as high
as seven on some days. There were
two yesterday before tho' reporter
arrived. Of course it is impossible to
accommodate all , nnd the sisters re
gret their necessity of turning any
away and are anxious to get into the
now building which with its four great
wards nnd the addition oi the rooms
now used for household purposes ,
which will bo vacated on the comple
tion of tire basement room , will give
them n capacity for about 125 to ICO
cots. Even then tlio quarters will be
none too largo and ere long another
addition v.ill bo necessary.
Uo3id the chapel , reception room
and so on , there is a regular drug
store in ono room of the hospital ,
which will bo removed when the ad
dition is completed. The physicians
in charge are Drs. Neville and Groes-
mun , and Dr. Grady ia a frequent visi
tor und treats cases in his line.
The cost of the now building is
about § 11,000 , and with the furniture
and apparatus required it will bo
nearly $10,000 when completed , which
is expected to bo by the middle of
September.
Splrltunllom.
Mrs. Anna Kimball , irom Now
York , will lecture in the Masonic
hall on Sunday morning at 11 o'clock

JOUST.
Happy Succesa of tno Eatnbrools
Burlotta.
The presentation of the charming
burlotU , the "Joust , " at the Uoyd
last evening waa a signal success , both
from a musical and dramatic view of
it. Those of our citizens who witnessed -
nossod the rendition of It in this city
a year or two einco , will see a marked
improvement throughout , both in the
operetta itself and the cast.
Of course , the center of attraction
to those who can more critically criti
cise coed music , and also to others
who know good acting when they aye
it , was the sprightly Cecil , by Mrs.
Estabrook. This lady scorned to sur
pass jiorsolf in the rendition of the
principal character in the operrota ,
and her singing was as cqmsito as
over. Miss Springer as Rachel was
admirably done , and applause seemed
to bo almost equally divided her and
Cecil. She , too , fortifies her power
as a singer with graceful movement
and a happy manner. Mr. W. IJ.
Wilkins always acquits himself well ,
wherever ho tries , and ho maintained
the character of Frank in u manner
quite in a par with the others , Hia
voice was in good trim last evening
and elicited repeated upnlauso , Mr.
Kstabrook as George made a strong
character. Ho sang well and ho acted
well. The part could not have been
better taken , List , but not least ,
Toodle comes in for more than passing
notice. Mr. W. 0. Sanders , as was
the case when the "Joust" was just
presented in this city , took this
' 'swell" character , nnd ho took it bet
tor than over.
The Harmonic Society Chorus , un
der the direction of Goo. F , Mayer , in
full force , played a big part in the
burletta and evinced the fact that they
had undergone careful training.
The performance of last evening
will bo repeated this evening , and
will bo vutnoaeod by a largo audience.
DUNCAN'S DISASTER ;
A Bridge Palls nnd Piecipi-
tates Its Load Into the
Greek ,
A Wild Time "With the Bronchos.
THE REE has often called attention
to the unsafe condition of the bridge
on North Omaha creek near Saunders
street. The first heard of
lost niulrt'a event there was the
crash of the falling timbers and a largo
crowd waa nt once attracted to the
spot. It was then discovered that n
drove of Mexican bronchos was being
driven across the Saundcrs street
bridge and that the supports gave
away nnd precipitated the result.
The bronchos , 200 in number , be
longed to Mr. Oeorgo J. Duncan , and
wcro in charge of W. II. Lincoum ,
who was driving them to the yards for
the night. All but live of the under-
moat were enabled to escape unhurt ,
with ono or two exceptions , and it
wan difficult to doturminu just how
badly they were injured. One horse
appeared to have h.id his back broken ,
and several others were stunned so
badly that they fell down scveial
titnoa in the water bcfoie they could
be pushed on up the creek where they
were finally driven upon the bank.
The remaining horses under th
bridge wfiro rescued by the crowd o
men who had provided ropes an
planks for the work. All were n
length rescued , and while some maybe
bo crippled , none will die from th"
terrible tumble
The cause of the accident is attributed
utod to the freshet of yesterday morn
ing , though the bridge has been con
demned time and time again by tin
citizens , and the attention of the city
council has been called to its unstabl
condition upon several occasions
Tlio bridge across the same creek or
Twonty-tirat street has sagged down
at least three feet , and will not stand
half the weight that was the immediate
diato cause of the disaster , and jo
teams and pcdcctrians are allowed to
pass over it , and the Ninth stree
bridge is in a bad shape too. This ac
cident should prove a warning to al
concerned.
II is very fortunate that the Sam
dors street bridge fell when it did , ns
in all probability , a heavily loaded
street car would most certainly have
met the fate of the animals. As it
was , a car had just passed over ,
mooting the horses a tow feet north of
the bridge , and ia consequently cut rf"
from passenger traflic , and will not betaken
taken to the barn for some Httlo timo.

a thousand miles from Xorth Platte ,
while sojourning in this city for a few
days became interested in the tight
rope performance in front of the
Academy of Music , and while taking
observations of the acrobat , nn in
genious pick-pocket got away with his
pocket-book. At the same time , the
fellowdoubtlc8s intending to steal the
gentleman's gold watch and chain , be
came entangled and was delected ,
when he apologized nnd was allowed
to go , before the loss of the
wallet was discovered. The loser ad-
Tortlsod his loss in Tun BEEThuis
day which was road by n laboring man
who boards at the Farmers' house ,
and who at once notified this ofiico
that ho had found the pocket book
nnd capers , mi tun the money , in front
oE Henry Dohlo's shoo store on up
per Farnnm street. Yestetday the
owner of the pocket book called at
the oftico nnd jokingly remarked that
he supposed hi ) pocket bonk had not
been lieard from. He was much sur
prised on learning that ho uould
obtain it by callinz at the
Farmers house. H < j jewarded the
finder with it batik note.
The moral of this atory IB that per
sons attending thu tight-rope exhibi
tions had better keep their hando on
their pocket-books , nnd a Bupplomcn-
t ry moral is that if they fail in this
precaution 1 HE BKB is a good medium
through which to recover lost prop
erly.
