Chicago Herald : The third day of the annual fair and exposition of the Wiscon sin Industrial association at Racine at tracted tbo largest attendance scon at the fairgrounds this year. The sensa' ' tlonal feature of the day was the mar riage of Jabez Boresford and Mary Augusta \Veob , who wcro wedded at the fair grounds. The association offered a f GO net of furniture to any couple con Renting to be married at the fair , and Iteresford and his bothrothod realized their opportunity to achieve fame and n furniture sot , at the same time avoiding the customary fee to the parson. The marrlago took place fn front of the grand stand at 11 o'clock in the morn ing. A platform was erected , decorated with evergreens and surmounted by a jrilded yoke , from which depended two jioosos of evergreens. The improvised sanctuary looked like a fancy gallows. Croat crowds had gathered around tiio ( rrand stand in anticipation of the ovont. Shortly before 11 a brass band began to play dolorous music of a funeral-march style , and word was passed that the couple was en route. The crowd in creased till nearly everybody on the grounds was in the viciuioy of the grand stand , trying to get a view of the napp pair. The band relented and changoi the tune to a lively air as Jabez and Augusta drove up in an open carriage. They were greeted with cheers , and with great self-possession passed in front of the grand stand to the platform , Jabez helped his bride up the stops , and both struck attitudes under the yoKe. Miss Webb is a nice-looking young woman , about twenty years old. She is a blonde and has a pleasant face and a neat fig tiro. She was quite prettily dressed in purple velvet and white silk , surmounted by a heliotrope bonnet. She comes from Antloch , 111. Boresford is a farmer o Hickory , Lake county , III. Ho has r good-humored face , and is prepossessing In appearance. His costume consisted mainly of white kid gloves. The cere rnony was performed by Justice Hoyers of Racine , who has only ono arm , but ho tied the knot as well and quickly as if ho had half a dozen. Jabez punctured th liual sentence with a kiss on his bride' cheek a kiss that could bo heard nl over the grounds. The osculation was the signal for a burst of applause and loud cheers , auiid which and the con gratulations of many . .woll wishers Mr nnd Mrs. Beresford Jumped into their carriage aud were driven away. Tbo set of furniture was sent after them , and Jabez and Mary Augusta have the satis faction of knowing their wedding was nioro largely attended than any ever celebrated in Wisconsin. Beresford told thoHcrald reporter that he saw the association's advertisement in a paper , nnd thought it a good plan to make that much furniture easily , and as Mary was willing , they volunteered. The RothHohlld Wedding. Paris Correspondence : There have been a number of fashionable marriages in tbo course of the week , and among HID number was one which dragged so long that every one said it was "high time when it was announced. I moan the wedding of Mile. Helena do Both- schild and tlio Belgian cavalry ollicer. Ho is rich in names , but until she bo- carne his wife hocould ] not boast of being rich in worldly gear. The style and titles of the great heiress in question nro Baron Stephen van Nyevelt , van Ilaar , van Zuylon , He is quite genuine. Belgians nro generally what they look unci sot up to bo. His wealthy bride worships him , and I dare say she will remain satisfied with her bargain. Her relatives are furious , nnd find fault with her for not having ehosen a more intel lectual busband. They forgot that she was shut out from most things which in duce a taste for mental superiority. The men who had climbed to eminence by their talents , and whom she was allowed to see , were all of the fogy ago aud patriarchs. The marriage of the baron so rich m "vans" and of the lady so rich in gold diil not take place with the accompani ment of boll , music- and candle light , it having been by special dispensation sol- unmixed or. rather , got through in the dingy llttlo sacristy of St. llonoro tl'Kyhin. This was because the bride did not renounce Judaism and got bap- ti/.ed. A priest cannot marry n Jew or Jewess to a Christian before an altar , and ho can only join their hands with maimed rights in the sa cristy by special dispensation from Iho popo. The ecclesiastic who blc.sscd the Belgian baron and the heiress on this occasion was Bishop Sis- Eon. I like to see a bride go from the paternal homo with all the triumphal circumstance of white satin and orange blossoms , and followed by a long train ol brilliantly dressed and sympathizing friends. There was nothing of this al the triple "van" and Rothschild marri ngu. But there was that admirable thing without which every bridal is t poor pair a bride's face expressing ttu most entire confidence in tno man fitu had resolved to take , for Dettcr or foi worse , ngamst the long-kopt-up opposl lion of tlio powerful tribe to which shi belonged by birth. Tbo position of the bridegroom nt Brussels is a good ono. Ho is a brother iii-law of M. Van do Vefdodo van Xuylen whoso name is familiar to every roado ( > f the Independence Beige , or any ctlio Brussels paper. Viscomte Louis Jo Tbury , ono of the bride's witnesses , belongs longs to the most clerical of the Faubourj St. ( iermain families. Mr. Sandford , th other witness , is an American , and wa In diplomacy. I think , seeing that lie newly married baroness is ono of hoU greatest heiresses of the day , it is wol both for her aud the baron that she ha takeu her own course in getting mat ried and broken with her tribe in doini to. She will obstinately , if she ha womanly pride , shut her eyes to bis Httl faults nnd keep down her own whim nud humors when indulgence in thor might tend to weaken tbo bond imj holds them together. Tbo best wires ar those who have i < iado n choice again ist strenuous opposition from their own el- ntircs. The reason is that they woul not for the world expose themselves t Lo reminded of all the evil that was pro dieted of their willfulness before the plunged into Iho slavery of the ring. Married and linprUnncd by a ' Count New Vork Journal : That'was a Straus case which was unearthed Home time ngo in Florence , Italy , by Mr. A. Schuyler Crosby , who was then United States cons sul nt that place , says the Indianapolis Journal. Ono day ho was conducting n party of Americans through the principal places of interest in the city , and ninong the places visited was the insane asvltim. As the party was going through the wards ono of the inmates of the institu tion suddenly called out to Mr. Crosby : "Oh , sir , you nro an American , are you not ? 1-or God's sake come hero and lis ten to my story. " Mr. Crosby went to the cell from whence the piteous appeal came , and saw before the bars a woman much emaciated but apparently sane. He listened to her story , and , after mak ing inquiries , set himself to work to pro cure her release , in which lie succeeded after a great deal of trouble. Tlio woman's story was as follows : She was born in Mobile , Ala. , of wealthy parents , and being attractive in appearance she had n number of suitors for her hand in marrlago. One dny nn Italian came to the city. He was haild- some nnd wrote the prefix count before his name. Ho soon got himself intro duced into the best circles of Mobile so ciety , and by his pleasing and courte ous bearing became a great favorite among the ladies of this place. He be came n constant visitor at Iho house of Miss , the subject of this story , nnd i Intimacy began to ripen into love on the part of the girl. Her parents did not npprovo of the match , but the handsome Italian portrayed trayed in glowing terms the wealth of his affection for her and the beauties of the lovely Florentine home which hn wished her to become the mistress of. At last his entreaties were successful , and the young girl was married to the "count" secretly. When the girl's parents hoard of it they wcro enraged. Her father refused to have anything to do with her , nnd , in stead of giving her the fortune ho had intended to be ners , settled on her a sum of $2,000 a year. The young couple started for Europe , but it soon became apparent to the wife that her husband was not only not in love with her , but that his only object in marrying her waste to procure her fortune , and having failed in that through the anger of her father , he had no more use for her. Shortly after reaching Florence the count had three physicians called in and the made nn examination of the young girl , much to her surprise and terror. On the following day n covered wagon came to the door and she was told to get inside. She tainted , nnd when she re covered she found herself in nn insane asylum. There she remained for over two yenrs , until she was found by Mr. Crosby. Meanwhile the husband , who had caused her incarceration , wrote homo to the girl's parents that she was very sick ana described the expense he was putting himself to in order to take proper care of the girl ho loved so well. The father was too proud to allow him to bear the full expense of his daughter's expense under the circumstances , nnd the annual remittances continued to como along. The count paid $500 to tlio keeper of bis wifoand lived in good style on the remaining $1,000. As soon as the news reached Mobile of the trno state of affairs , however , the remittances sud- ponly stopped and the young girl was received borne with open arms. The count is still living in Florence , but ho has to resort to other means of earning a living. Marriage of Actresses. Rochester ( N. Y. ) Democrat : One of the most celebrated marriages of an actress in the United States was that of Julia Dean. She was , about thirty years ago , what Mary Anderson is to-day the most popular of all women on thn stage. She married Dr. Paul Hayno , of South Carolina. Ho wus a son of Senator Hayno , whoso great debates with Web ster are renowned. Hut he was poor , ami the stage career of his wife was not in terrupted by marriage. They did not live happily together. She made n Cal ifornia tour with the most satisfactory results. In 1366 she was divorcedand in 1807 she married James Cooper. She died in the city of Now York. Hayno is in San Francisco , practicing medicine. Mrs. John Hoey , known as Mrs. Uussoll , of forty years ngo , was , bcioro Miss Kingdon's marriage witli Gould , perhaps the wealthiest lady who over married from the stage. She married John llooy , now the principal man of the Adams' express company , tbo owner of Long Branch and the possessor of great wealth in New York. Love Triumphant. LouisTillo Courier-Journal : Thomas Lewis and Miss Ida Maupin. residing near Magnolia , in Laruo county , eloped to Jcffersonvillo yesterday morning and were married by Justice Lee at Strauss' hotel. For some time the attentions of Lewis to Miss Mauphin have been objec tionable to her father. Last Monday Mr. Manphin was called away from homo on business to remain until yester day. Strict orders were given the girl'd mother to keep a close watch on her , aud during the absence of Mr. Mauphin the mother and daughter occupied the same bed. To prevent the yonng lady from slipped away , a stout cord was nightly attached to the wrist of each. Lewis watched the house every night , but when Friday night dawned no op portunity had been offered for eloping with his sweetheart. A scheme to induce her to intend church near by was con voyed by Miss Manphin by a young lady friend. "The plan worked'wefi , amT after the services , on ono pretext or another , Mrs. Mauphin was kept up until she was so sleepy that when she retired she for got to take the usual precaution Shortly after midnight the dash for liberty was made to where Lewis was in waiting with a buggy. An uneventful trip fol lowed to this city by train from the nearest station. From hero they crossed j to Jofforsonvillo and were quickly mar ried. Dash fill Bridegroom. Rochester , ( N , Y. ) Herald : A justice of the peace in Saratoga county recently joined a pair'who wrro so embarrassed that they hardly know what they were doing. The man were n white straw hat : , which ho whirled on his finger before the ceremony began. When told to stand up he jumped before the justice with great alacrity. For a few moments ho did not know what to do with his hat , but finally found his way out of tbo dif ficulty by putting it between his knees. ! This was too much for the brido. 'With the handle pf her parasol she caught the hat , pulled it from its position , nud then , abashed at her audacity , dropped hat 1 nnd parnsol to the lloor. The same justice tolls a story of another - couple who came to bo married. The , man was dreadfully puzzled , and with out realizing the act pulled a cigar from his pocket nnd began twirling it around. When that portion of the ceremony was - reached where bride and groom joh : hands be happened to have ths cigar in his right hand. What to do with lie cigar ho nppnrontly did not know. The jus tice paused a minute , nnd then again di rected the pair to join hands. By thl * U time the poor fellow's embarrassment as was painful. Ho gave ono agonizing - look at tin ) justice of the peace and stuck the cigar in his mouth. Before the cere as niony conld be concluded the justice had to taKe the cigar from between the man't lips.

Now York Sun : Assistant Sexton Pat terson was sitting comfortably tilted backward upon two legs of a stool , the other morning , just inside the south door of Trinity church. "Speaking of wed dings. " ho said , "wo got lots of them bore. People like to got married in old Trinity you know. Everybody that speaks English has heard of thn church , and folks like to tell their neighbors they were married hcra. Why. bless you , when they get to bo grandmams they will pat their children's children on the head and say , 'Your grandpa nud I were married in Trinity church. ' And then it's really the finest place in the world to get married in , nnyhow. Its so solemn and still hero , every surround ing is so beautiful , the very air is awe some , the light comes througli the windows dews softened and tinted , and the organ sounds so wonderful , interrupting the softened noises from tlio street.

Then again , wo have but two or three n week , and some weeks wo don't have any. | "All kinds of people get married hero. Some como from wav oil' on purpose for it. Wo had a couple" from Philadelphia yesterday and not long ngo nn English lady that was hero visiting got married. She said she'd stay single but what she'd bo married in Trinity , Her sister was married here , and she would be , too. A southern congressman dropped in hero once , and was married oil-hand , just as if It was nothing to him. They generally make arrangements before hand with ths head sexton. "What do they give the minister ? Oh , $10 for the minister and sexton together. That's tlio regular foe , but sometimes they give n great deal more.

All the foreign residents of tlio capital were presentand some of the native otlicials. The pre sents to the bride were many and various , the richly and beautifully embroidered screens sent by thn queen attracting a great deal of attention. Prince Min Yong Ik , who a year ago loft for China in such great liasto , re turned a short time ago with a few more ideas of reform. One of these is to dress the soldiers according to foreign style , and to do away with the rank of kulso The kulso is a soldier ono grndn above the ordinary rank , and attached ns a special guard of honor to native oflicials and foreign legations. There are 3,00 ( of these iu tho'country , and tbo idea is to make them serviceable to tbo govern ment , rather than to individuals , m case ot necessity. A Mayor Who Married lllinsoir.

ChicagoTribune : Afternoon weddings are now of far mere frequent occurrence in England than weddings in the fore- noon.'not only among ultra-fashionable pcopln ns heretofore , but among society in general. The advantages of this change are numerous , and convenience , economy nnd sociability may be ranked among them , Under the head of conven ience may first bo mentioned the strain that is now taken off n bridal party as re gards the hour of arrival at the church , nnd when the distance was considerable this strain was the more acutely felt , and the fear of not being in time was the up permost thought in the minds of most brides when completing their bridal toilets , n state of perturbation not calcu- lated to engender nn unruflled demeanor ou this important occasion.

So ho started nut to look for a location aud to lease lands. Pretty soon ho struck a site that suited him , and ho wont to work and leased every bit of land for miles around. Ho didn't take any partners , but wont it alone , and when ho had got all the land that there was to bo had ho started to drill Iii8 first well. He called it Triangle No. 1 , for ho had an idea that if the first well didn't strike a good third sand , he would operate in triangles until he struck the oil belt , which ho was dead sure ran somewhere in that neighborhood. "Well , down went Triangle No. 1 , and there were good indications that it was in the right spot. But when the well wus down to about the right depth , along came some Standard Oil fellows ami fixed' ' the drillers. So they nut up a job on old O. P. , and , although there was oil , they plugged up the hole so it only showed up for two or three barrels. Then ho started in on Triangle No. 2 , and had the same game played on him. Triangle No. 8 came out just the same. "H.V this time Taylor's tobacco bus ! ness had gone to the dogs and most all his money was in holes in the ground. But lie wasn't discouraged. Ho started another well , mortgaging his business and disposing of all the real estate ho had. Tnat well came In just like the others. Then he pawned his wife's jew elry and began to bore once more. How he did cuss every time a well came in dryl Ho was the very worst cussor I over know , and the air was bluer than a whetstone when ho would open up on his luck , the Standard Oil company and the world in general. "Finally ho ran out of funds and couldn't raise another dollar. Every body railed him a crazy crank , a fool and everything else they could think of. But the old man kept on , plugging away by himself. lie couldn't hire any drillers , for ho couldn't p-iy. The world seemed ( lead sot against him , nnd he couldn'i find a friend who would speak a kinr word for him. His long , curly hair began to get gray , nnd ho had a dejected , worn- out look. His everlasting grit , though held out. "Finally ho wandered to tlio little town of Hichburg , away off the railroad , sur rounded bv the big hills of Allegany county , ana there he talked some farmers into believing that ( hero was oil under their lauds , Ho put in his experience , they put in the money , and down wcnl another well. During all these years Taylor had learned a fnw things , and when the hole began to get down in thi neighborhood of third sand he never let the derrick. Kvery time the sand-pumi : came up lie was there to see what it had He used to make the drillers shut dowr nights , and ho would screw on a capovo the hole and sleep with his head on it. even though there was snow on the ground. Ho had ruado up his mind to have no 'monkey-work'and there wasn't any. any."One day in March the drill got into third sand , and when the pump showed up you ought to have seen O. P. dance and Hwcar. It was bettor than a circus and tbo happiest moment of his life. The news of tuo strike quickly spread , and when the well was ready to shoot the little town was filled with thousands of oil men. Taylor was fairly crazy , and after the torpedo had exploded and shown up a gusher of seventy-live bar rels ho waa the hero of the occasion. Everything mean that had been said about him was taken back , for the crazy crank wtts now a millionaire and had made fortunes for land owners through out the county. "But O. P. was a millionaire only in expectation. After ho had proved that ho was right about oil in Allegany county , ho had 1 nothing further to keep him up. Hard work had ruined his health , and before ho had begun to real- i/.o his good fortune ho was taken with a hemorrhage and died. The whole county turned out to his funeral and the papers printed tender obituary notices , but merciless creditors swallowed up what little the old man had loft , and the for tunes made in the New York oil Hold have gone into strangers' pockets.
