Tha Evening Mail publishes the following : It is on record that men will do almost anything to get a little money when they are pinched , but the most novel transaction in that Una occurred in Judge Rogers' court to-day. About two years ago Albert C. Scott , of New York city , came to Chicago with $10,000. He drifted in the direction of Fourth avenue , and became an habitue of Mollie Fitch's place at No.114. Miss Annette Barnett , one of ' the star boarders" there , becamn his affinity , and alter a ecason of dalliance the pair left for Europe , where they managed to spend the greater port of the ten thousand dollars. Xenophon's retreat of the ten thousand was not ft circumstance to the ben steady departure of these ducats. They man aged to get back to C hicago , however. Not long ago Scott was indicted for embezzling ' $240 from the two firms of Wilson Bros , and Reisa & Rltz. His day in court was yester day , and his case was to be beard this after noon. Money was necessary to pay his attor > ney hU fee > , and cast in tha case. An aunt of Scott's hod left him a legacy of $5,000 half of which was to bo given him on his wedding day. Accor dingly a license waa procured and Albert C. Scott , late of New 'kork , but now of the county jail , linked bis fortunes with these of Miss Annette Banietto , 114 Fourth anenue.

After a brief ceremony tha . groom handed the bride a paste board box in which lay a bouquet of orange flowers end llllies , which she smelted , and , smiling through her tears , said were lovely. .
