Special telegram to THE BEE.
CHICAGO , March 31. 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. The bride was flooded in tears , and
wa > too full of emotion to do moro than nod
her head , when Judge Rogers asked her If gtie
would bo tha true , loving , faithful and
obedient wife. 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.

They were released at 0 o'clock on condition
rmthat the arms ehould ba delivered , and tin
delivery is going on. Tha American and En
in glish war ships did nothing to protect sign
interests because the revolutionary chief de-
of dared ho would resist their interference deby

mad democrats In Washington this afternoon
than at any time since the close of the war.
That tholr first democratic president for a
quarter of a century should have
his arrival by ignoring the appeals of the
party leaders on almost every office filled , and
appointing men of doubtful democracy and
high tariff principles , was bad enough ,
but that he should deliber
ately appoint a .prominent republican
to one of the most important
offices in the country almost parallzes them
with astonishment. They are mad fighting ;
mad. What will be the result la hard to say ,
it i will bo anything but peace. But it will bo
fun for the other side.
A paragraph to the effect that a recent
lady visitor to the White House who was ex
pressing her delight at the restoration of the
democrats to power was stopped by ono of the
president's sitters , with the remark
that they were republicans has
had an extensive circulation. This
paragraph was shown to Miss Cleveland
who is said to have responded that tholr fami
ly hod never been a political one. That their
father was a minister and had not been In
th habit of discussing politics. She had
thought so little of politics as to bave been
several times puzzled when asked whether she
was a democrat or republican , but she added :
"Of course I approve of my brothers princi

The Winter "Whoat Crop.
CHICAGO , March 31. In its weekly review
of the growing crops the Farmers' Review
says , in connection with Its numerous reports
from crop-growing districts : "The week has
been ono of intense interest in the wheat
crop , first on account of the condition of the
winter wheat , the very dry weather which
bos prevailed over rho entire wheat belt , ex
tending to tbo Pacific coast , the continuance
of the cold , backward weather , rumors of war
and Increasing foreign complication , each ono
of these facts in themselves is a sufficient
cauie of anxiety as to the futurj results. The
prospects of to-day are without Immediate
change , and point to a very poor winter wheat
crop. Great damage has been done since tbo
snow wont off , and the general conditions of f
winter wheat are i unking down every day.
We have never known since the Review com
menced the weekly report of the growing
crops a spring when the reports on wlnto
wheat have been so bad as to-day. "
