riage performed. Laura Schwnrtzol
was traveling with him as hia employe ,
it being her duty to make aseenslonsfor
him. Loading nor to the basket , they ,
with the magistrate who had been en
gaged for the occasion , stepped in , nnd
while floating dreamily in the azure
blue the ceremony was performed. Not
until weeks afterward did it occur to
Young that it was n genuine marriage.
It frightened him. Ho informed Laura.
She was frightened , too. Straightway

have the marriage set aside. She filed
on answer , nnd cross-petition praying
the same. Both claimed that it was a
mock marriage'and they have not lived
together since. Evidence establishing
the above statements was heard and

posed to bo away attending to business
until a letter came to Mrs. Tuttle , in
forming her that her husband and
daughter had Mod. For over a year she
received , at irregular intervals , sums of
money that she know came from cither

The letters wcro mailed from different

Courted nnd Married In Four Hours.
Philadelphia special to 'tha Globe-
Democrat : Romantic young folks and
staid heads of families out in West
Philadelphia , one of the most exclusive
and aristocratic sections of this city , are
all in a flutter over this little notice ,
which appeared in a morning news
paper :
Loi'Eit SAVAOH O April 11 , by Uov.
Charles D. Slnklnson , at his residence , 1105
South Fourth street , Camdcn , N J. , Mr.
William H. Leper to Miss Mary F. Savage ,
both of Philadelphia , Pa.
The announcement is simple and matter -
tor of fact enough in its form , but the
story underlying it is ono to stir the
imagination of the romancist and do
much to swoop away the false impres
sion that Philadelphia youth is devoid
of sentiment above the humdrum no
tion of the Quaker ancestors. For to
tell the truth this marriage notice
boats the record of quick courtship and
marriage , as far as known in polite cir
cles at least.
Miss Savage tliat was , Mrs. Leper
that is , since her romantic adventure
of Wednesday afternoon , is the daugh
ter of a prominent citizen of West
Philttdolphla , a substantial business
man , with a bank account to fprovor assure -
sure his comfort and well-being from a
practical standpoint at least. She is
young , petite and extremely pretty.
On Wednesday morning Miss Savage
wont out to make some calls. She was
attired in a lovely spring gown nnd
were the cutest little bonnet , from
which her blonde curls pooped out be-
witchingly.
During nor promenade Miss Savage
encountered Mr. Lopor. who had boon
an occasional caller at nor father's ele
gant residence , but whoso attention
hitherto had not boon so marked as to
foreshadow any serious designs as the
accidental meeting brought forth. Mr.
Leper was apparently BO much smitten
with the young ladys charms that ho
bogged the favor of being allowed to
accompany her to her calling trip. Per
mission was graciously granted , and the
rounds of calls being finished the young
gallant suggested that she should go to
the matinee with him. She accepted
the invitation , and it is voraciously
stated that she bought the tickets. At
the end of the first act ho proposed to
hor. She laughed at him , thinking ho
was only joking. When the curtain
wont down for the second act ho re
newed his proposal , and so earnestly
that she asked tlmoto consider it , which
was willlnglv given. No sooner was the
third act finished than the softly mur
mured "yes. " After the matinee was
oyor the engaged couple halted a pass
ing street car and crossed to Cnmdon ,
where they were married. The whole
alTair occupied three hours and fifty
minutes.
Itulncd by Ills Wife.
A Now Britiun ( Conn. ) special to the
Now York Herald details the following
remarkable- story : Charles Gindor , a
middle aged man employed ns a chaser
in a factory in this city , married Magglo
Barnes , a pretty young woman whom
ho had mot by chance the year previ
ous. At that time ho owned a few
thousand dollars' worth of property ,
which ho had accumulated by hard
work at his trado. To-day Gindor is a
ruined man.
Gindor , had not been married many
monthb when the young wlfo succeeded
in persuading him to deposit Ills money
in the savings bank in nor name. He
had such confidence in her that ho
never asked any mioriliontj when she
found excuses for bolng absent from
homo for several days at a time. Hho
became intlmato with a young woman
named Mrs. Helen Hunter , of South-
ington , and spoilt much lima in her
company.
Mrs , Hunter came to the city last
summer and visited Mrs. Cinder , whom
she told that a mutual friend of theirs
an old maiden lady , a Miss Jennie , who
was lying at tho. point of death in the
White Mountains wus about to make a
will in their favor. Mr. Cinder con
sented cheerfully to allow his wife to
yisit Miss Jennie witji Mr * . Huntor.
even paying for tholr tickets and
furnishing- thorn with ample money to
defray their expenses. They returned
after about n week's absence nnd re
ported that Miss Jonniohnd given them
to understand that they would bo her
principal legatees. Mr , Gindor eagerly
swallowed this palatable nows. and in
dulged in visions of future wealth.
During the summer his wlfo and Mrs.
Hunter cosily convinced him of the ne
cessity of their visiting Miss Jennie on
several occasions. They represented
that there were relatives of the maiden
lady who wcro trying to influence her
mind nnd that it was necessary to frus
trate them. The only way this could
bo done was by visiting Miss Jennie fre
quently , thereby showing their regard
for hor.
Mrs. Gindor nnd Mrs. Hunter wont off
in November ostensibly for the purpose
of visiting Miss Jennie. By an accident
Mr. Ginderdiscovorcd that his wife had
withdrawn $1,000 from the savings bank
which ho had deposited in her name ,
nnd had also taken away $1,000 raised
by mortgaging property in Watorbury.
As his wife did not return Mr. Gindor
went to Mrs. Hunter nnd Inquired as to
hia wife's whereabouts. Jtfrs. Hunter
informed him that Mrs. Gindor had
gone with Miss Jennie to California and
intimated that if ho would pay her ex
penses to the Pacific coast she would
bring back his wlfo and , , the $2,000.
Cinder swallowed the story and paid
her $160.
The next interesting point in the
story was the receipt by Mr. Gindor of
a letter from Mrs. Hunter on February
3. It stated that the $2.000 would bo re
turned to him , but that Mrs. Gindor had
become tired of married lifo and had de
cided not to come back tohim. The en
velope bore the Now Haven postmark ,
bet the letter itself , which was dated
January 10 , did not contain the address
of the sender. Mr. Gindor at once in
stituted an Inquiry. Ho learned that
his wife ana Mrs. Hunter had boon in
Now York , where they did up the town
for a week , or until the $160 was ex
hausted. Finding that ho had been
swindled by the two women out of nil
his money , Mr. Gindor submitted the
matter to the police and had both ar
rested. They were brought into court
yesterday and hold , Mrs. Hunter in $500
bail and Mrs. Gintor in $200 bail for
trial.

Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton recently
told a story about the way In which she
began her work of reforming the world.
When she wus a girl of ton or twelve ,
she used to see her father , Judge Cady ,
administering law from the bench.
She noticed that the judge , in laying
down the , law or giving his de
cision , always referred to his law
books for guidance. She not to work
In his library reading these books
and as she thought ho could not say
anything but what ho found there , she
carefully tore out and burned those
pages that contained principles or de
cisions of which she disapproved. How
conld he , while on the bench during a
trial , make application of anything not
to bo seen-in the books by which ho was
guided ? She discovered a great deal
that was offensive in every law book tlmt
she inspected in his library. Out came
the pages , which she cast Into tile fire
until the book suited her , and she felt
sure that her father would bo compelled
to confine himself to such law as she
loft. She kept on at this work for a
long while , until she was caugh' ' . at It ;
but by that tlmo a great part of udgo
Cady's law library had been spoiled In
her efforts to reform the world.
