CHICAGO , August a [ Special Telegram to
Tn BBK. ] The history of n invsterlous
tnnrrmgo was filed with the clerk of the nu-
perlor court this morning , and the matter
will coino up la the usual way to bo hoard In
tho. divorce court. Robert T. Mitchell is the
complainant , who claims to have ooon forced
Into a peculiar marriage. The story of It is as
follows : On the 25th day of last August the
plaintiff was at the depot to take a tram for
Kvanston , when two men , claiming to
bo detectives accosted him , sayIng -
Ing there was a man at the
Avenue house In Evanston who very much
desired to see him. Against his will , the bill
alleges , Mitchell was conducted to that place ,
Where ho met ono McCord , who Informed
him that ho would bo compelled to return
with the party to Chicago nnd marry n
\voman named Anna L. Callis. To this prop
osition , it Is claimed , the plaintiff objected
btronuously , but in vain. The detectives
claimed to have the power to arrest
him , but upon what charge
they did not say. Accordingly , ho
returned to Chicago that same day with Mc
Cord nnd the detectives. Ho attempted to
escape after leaving the train , but they felled
him and conducted him by force to the Clif
ton house , it is alleged. McCord then left ,
wlth'uno of the detectives , as ho said to pro
cure n marriage license nnd a minister. The
woman was brought in , and for the first
time , it Is said , the plaintiff first
ot eyes upon her. Ho ran to the
door to escape and found the ether
detective on guard. Presently the two who
loft returned with the minister und the
license , and the ceremony , it is charged , was
performed against Mitchell's will and in
pile of his protestations. Then he was per
mitted to depart , which ho did , never seeing
the woman afterword. An affidavit accom
panying the bill gives the woman's residence
ns Murtmsvllle , Ind. The nrayor of tha bill
is that the court declare the marriage null.

not know what is bofoVo them , and may bo
said to bo on the ragged edge. Tliolr uncer
tainty is In connection with tholr next gen

that the late strike on the Burlington road
will engage a largo share ot the attention of
the convention and many of those who wcro
most affected by it hold firmly to the opinion
that though the strike has long since been
declared oft and has been almost forgotten by
the public generally , the ultimate outcome of
it will bo a dissolution of the brotherhood.
A rewrter ran across ono of those who
toolt nn active part In the strike nnd who is
still without an engine , this morning , and
questioned him on the outlook ,
"There Is no use talking,11 said bo , "that
strike hod better never been declared off.
bo far only ten or cloven of us have boon
nble to get places on the Burlington road und
many like myself have not boon able to place
our hands on the throttle valro of an ngino
since wo went out on tbo strike. A
number have none to the Northern Pacific ,
and seine did eot positions for n short tlmo
on the Illinois Central , but they were only
given those places to enable the general
managers to nay -they had shown their will
ingness to employ the strikers and that no

Impossible for us to draw anything Trora the

I am sorry for it myself , but still I am forced
to ooincldo with the opinion. "
"Wby should the foot that you nro out of
work and unable to draw out of the brother
hood funds bring about a dissolution of the
brotherhood I"
"Tho dissolution Trill bo brought about for
two reasons. The brotherhood Is split up
over the retention of Chief Arthur at the
head of the organization. lie has got the
eastern men under his thumb , and .they will
fight to re-elect him. The west won't
have him on tiny terms. Hero in
this section we believe that -he thinks
the brotherhood exists for the benefit of Mr.
Arthur , nnd the eastern men support bim
because ho uphold them when they refused
to contribute to the support ot the strikers.
They refused to do anything for us. Then
there is the question of the organization of a
federation to include all ranks of railway
employes. Tbo result of the Burlington
strike proved conclusively tha inability of
the brotherhood to take care of their own In
terests without the ui J of the other railroad
men. It showed thnt wo cannot succeed independency -
dependency of each other , Arthur and his
following is strongly opposed to any federa
tion of labor. They know that if ihnt is
'brought about it will cut away the supports
from under them and Arthur will bo no
more. If it Is not brought about the brotner-
hood will split into two factions and will bo
utmblo to exist as at present organized.
Should Arthur nnd his following be beaten
the "brotherhood Trill bo swallowed up in the
federation. Its destruction Is certain in any
case. "
"Where does Arthur's strength come from
besides the east ! "
"Nowhere , The entire west and north
west and the south , Canada and Mexico are
against him. Ho has the east at his back ,
but all the other sections are against him ,
and if they act together there should bo no
doubt of the outcome AU these sections
are m faror of a co-operative union. "

came notorious before the troubles which

most industrious and prudent , to properly
support their wives and children. An effort
has been mudo to settle tha difficulty by ar
bitration , but will bo remembered this ap

must return to work at 75 cents per ton.
which is certainly below proper living

llovo the decision will not bo satisfactory to
the miners , and having done nil in its power
to rellovo tholr sufferings , take the liberty
now to cucourngo further arbitration , and
this Is done in the hopn that at lo.ist a com

SHE : TELLS ALL ABOUT IT.
A. Ncola Girl Describes her Wedding
and What Ilnnponod Afterward.
NKOLA , la. , August 5. Dear BEB : Since
you still continue to send a WBEKY BED to
buzz the news to mo , I suppose you still
expect mo to correspond. But , BEE , I
haven't written lately because I've been
off on a vacation , and in tbo mean
time , why , I got married , and am now set
tled at Neoln , and henceforth will try and
chronicle once lu a while these Noolaito pro
ceedings. And , HER , I'll tell you now how
it was done , provided you'll never toll.
Why , you see , Talmnge dear man had
boon preaching and said that every young
man ought to bo married , and Jock and I
quite agreed with him ( Jack is my husband
now ) , so wo discussed the subject , and de
termined to obey as sensible a man as the
great preacher , so Jaok hurl another discus
sion with papa , and matters were sattlod. It
was no use for mo to say "Oh , so sudden I"
or try to toll any polite flbs to- Jack , bocauao
ho always knows when I fib , and he says ho
hates girls who fib , so I talked with him very
sensibly , ho says , and saved the fibs for
other folks.
As soon as ma knew It she began and told
mo what u solemn thing it was to bo mar
ried , but it isn't ; it Isn't
near as solemn as not to bo
married , especially when ono is well , old
enough to bo married a year or two ago.
Then all my aunts began a course of lectures.
They would strike an attitude before me and
preface their remarks with "Oh , now Nellie
you must , " or else , "Now Nellie , you must
remember and must not , " but that was
as much us I over heard , I usually shut the
door behind mo about that time , till finally
they let mo alone. But they were of souio
use , however , they helped mother to hunt
dressmakers , and they uhused tbo creatures
to their lairs in the stuffy top stories and
garrets and told ma the names of several
dona where she could find more of the tame
species.
At last the evening came on which I wan to
bo married. I wanted to bo married at
church since I'm an Episcopalian , but pa
tuld it was "putting on style , " so 1 was mar-
rlad at homo. My aunu and cousins , nine
of them , prepared to dross mo for the occa
sion , it took four mortal hours. They bad
ordered ouo hundred different articles for
my toilet , and 11 vo minutes before the hour
caino , they found that Just nlnoty-nlno and a
half "wouldn't do , " or else wore forgotten.
Finally they descended in a body to toll Jack
I was ready , Oti , how strange and fright
ened I fell as I looked In the glass and saw
my wulto robe and veil trailing behind mo.
I wished that an earthquake or a cyclone
would coma und that I would blow awuy and
didn't bavo to bo married at .ill , and pres
ently , when Jack cauio , ho hoard something
suspiciously like a sob. Then ho called mo a
little goose and some more namoi and fell
to mussing up my hair and getting the
enamel off my cheeks and lips , theu wo
heard a step and Jock discreetly straight
ened himself , und mother , very teao iudocd ,
came In with the minister.
Oh , what a solemn -looking minister that
was , it Quito frightened uio , really. I'vo
soon a cow look just that same way , and
well ho might , for bo had an awful paper
with him , with dreadful questions on U ,
about our forefathers and forcmothers , tvao
they were , and what oolor they were.
Well , ho and his paper preceded ui down
stairs , and ho faced about and told the folks
what they bad come there for. I was just
awfully scared. an.1 the next thing 1 knew
Jack was holding my right hand and saying
"I will ; " my turn cumo noxt. aud I said "I
will ; " then the minister put my ring on. oh
it is just a lovely one. so heavy and nlco ;
well , the minister ala some moro thine * to
us , and tuoro is ono thing ho said that I hope
aome folks will take noUca of , it WM about
"holding their peace and not saying any
thing hereafter. " I do hope they'll mind
that. Pretty BOOU folks said it was nil over ,
just Ilka a surgical operation , aud they all
with one accord began to klas ut , the old
lodlos , and especially the old mald < , just
hugged Jock , ( I didn't blame them ono bit ,
for Jack ulfl look dreadful handsome In his
ovonrap suit ) , and the gentlemen kissed mo ,
Jack looklnff.slraight nt thorn , too ; ono man
with an awful spenry mustache gave mo an
awful wet big smack right on my cheek. I
know ho did it on purpose to see if the color
would come off , ( and it did of course ) . I
made an nwful face nt It ; I hope ho didn't
sco it , because ho is u warm friend ot Jack's ,
nnd gave us a lovely present , too. Well ,
while the folks were gossiping and eating up
nil the stuff that It him taken mother a WOOK
to prepare. Jnok hml I nllpKxl | Rway.ohangod
our suits and were whirled off by the train.
The wedding was over , and this wai how It
was done. Ju.u

CHICAGO , August 8. [ Special Telegram t

of Chicago's drinking water t'loro ' U an cnl-
domic of typhoid fever raging In the south
ern part of the city.
The livening Journal snys : The Initial
germs of the disease began to got In their
work n few days after the big storm , which
Hushed the sewers and sent their contents
out to tha crib. It was nt llrst thought no
evil results would follow. The mayor , ac
companied by n tug full of ofllolnts , exam
ined the water nt the crib nnd pronounced It
safe to drink. Private physicians expressed
contrary opinions , which were promptly
ponh-poohed by the authorities , nnd until a
few days ago no public doorco advising pre
caution wnt Issued. Meanwhile the germs
were quietly Insinuating themselves Into the
systems of the community. How effectively
they did tholr work the existence on Cottngo
Grove avenue , between Thirty-first street
nnd Forty-second street , of between ono hun
dred and llfty and ono hundred nnd seventy ,
five cases of typhoid fever eloquently tes-
tlllcs. The Information came Into the posses
sion of the Journal this morning. It was ver
ified by u representative of tnu paper this
morning , and had moro tlmo been available
ether parts of the city would doubtless have
been found to bo similarly affected. Inns-
much ns typhoid fever Is not considered a
contagious discnso no report of its presence
is mada to the health department , but from
physicians and undertakers conservative es
timates were received placing the number of
cases In the district mentioned at ever ouo
till ml re il and llfty.

bad been drinking lake water. There nro
numerous families who at this season of the
year rely for their drinking wutor on the
mineral spring ntSonth Park. In not ono of
those families have I discovered or hoard of
typhoid fever or cliolcni inorbus , which is
also prevalent and Is duo to the impure lake
water. Several deaths Imvo occurred within
my own knowledge , although I have lost but
ono patient , and that wns owing to failure tenet
net according to m.v advice. I have talked with
my brother physicians about the epidemic ,
and they nil ucrco with mo as to the cause.
If the water were boiled no danger would re-
suit , but It should not bo drunk otherwise. '
