New York Sun.
Four years agro blue-eyed Marlon Love-
ridge and William D. McKeever were
schoolmates in the Dearborn-Morgan
Academy at Orange, N. J. Miss Loveridge
had just passed her foa.teenth birthday
and Master McKeever was a few months’
younger. Their families lived just over
the way from each other in Lindeu place,
one of the charming drives of the town
The Loverldges were old residents of
Orange, and Mr, McKeever had just re
moved from his old home in Mentrose to
the house on Linden place. The house is
built in Queen Anne style, and there are
conservatories and well-kept lawns about
it. Henry Loveridge, the father of Marion
is president of the Maryland Coal Com
pany, with au office at 36 Broadway, and
Daniel McKeever, William’s father, is con
nected with the importing dry goods firm
•of H. Herrman, Sternbach & Co., 476
Broadway.
Marion is an only child and William is
the eldest of five children. Young Mc
Keever is now with Lazarus & Rosenfeld,
53 Murray street.
This marriage notice in Monday’s Sun
surprised the acquaintances of both the
young folks:
McKeever — Loveridge. — In New
York city, on Monday, November 22, by
Rev. Theodore C. Williams, minister of Ail
-Soul’s church, William D. McKeever to
Marion Loveridge, both of Orange, N. J.
About noon this note was sent to the
•Sun office by William’s father:
In reference to the announcement of the
marriage of McKeever and Loveridge in
your to-day’s issue, I beg to say that steps
have been taken to annul the marriage on
proper legal grounds. My son, who is
only 18 years of age, was led into this mar
riage, and, loose as marriage laws are in
New York state, I am satisfied the reasons
l will show will be sufficient to annul it.
Daniel McKeever.
Mr McKeever then instructed his law
yers, Horwitz & Hershfeld, to present a
petition to the supreme court asking that
he be appointed guardian ad litem lor his
son. The petition will be filed to-day. In
it Mr. McKeever swears that his son is but
18 years old, and that he was forced into
the marriage by threats and coercion. Af
ter he is appointed guardian for his son,
Mr. McKeever says he will take steps to
have the marriage annulled. His son Wil
liam stood beside him in his home in
Orange last night when he said:
“ I think it ridiculous that a boy of 18
should be married, but,that is not my only
reason for wanting this" marriage set aside.
Prom what my boy says he was forced to
marry the girl. He tells me he was threat-
ened, and 1 do not believe the marriage can
stand if that is the case. The first I knew
my son was married to Miss Loveridge
was on last Saturday afternoon, when
hAr aunt. Mrs. Ludlow H. Paton, of
• SP West Sixteenth street, called at my
office and told me of it. I was unstrung
by the news. I went to my son’s place in
Murray street, and with him called at Mrs,
Paton’s house. Mrs. Loveridge and my
son’s young wife were there. I told them
that, from what I knew of the whole mat
ter, I would not recognize the marriage.
They asked me to reconsider my determi
nation. and said they would call on me
-at my home in the evening to get my final
answer. I wanted to consult my wife. In
the evening, after a talk with my wife, I
again told them that we repudiated the
marriage and would take vigorous steps
to. have it annulled. Then they published
the marriage notices in the morning
.papers. My son tells me that Dr. Joseph
W. Howe, of 38 West Thirty-fourth street,
made the demand on him that he marry
Miss Loveridge,and threatened him unless
he did. I do not care to say anything
about the youug girl, but I
am bound that this marriage shall be
broken.
Young McKeever then said, in a low
voice and with a diffident manner, that he
had seen his wife but twice since the mar
riage, and that he had not lived with her.
He said:
“I was forced into this marriage, and
when I stood up before the minister I had
exactly 32 cents in my pocket. I was not
financially sound enough to be married.
About 11 o’clock on Monday morning
week I received a note from Miss Love
ridge asking me to come up to her aunt’s
home in Sixteenth street and take her
home to Orange. She wanted me to come
at about 6 o’clock in the evening. My
father was visiting me at the time I re
ceived the note, and I asked him if I might
go. He gave his consent. When I got to
the house and was shown in I was taken to
a big room off the main hallway. Marion
was not there, but a man who said he was
Dr. Howe met me. He said he would jail
me, railroad me to state prison unless I
immediately married Marion Loveridge.
At first I refused. Then he said he would
shoot me unless I did, and becoming quite
frightened I promised.”
‘‘Why did he threaten to shoot you un
less you married Miss Loveridge?” asked
the reporter.
“I don’t care to say,” replied McKeever;
“all that I know is that I went with Mrs.
Loveridge, her daughter, Mrs. Paton, and
Dr. Howe to the parsonage of AU Saints’
church, 243 east Eighteenth street,and was
married to Miss Loveridge. Mrs. Paton
paid the minister his fee. She also came
t rovided with two rings, one for Miss
overidge and the other lor me. I didn’t
wear mine home. Mrs. Loveridge cried
when the minister read that part about
promising to ‘love and cherish’ her daugh
ter. Then we all had dinner nt Purssell’s,
Mrs. Paton paying for it. Then Mrs. Love
ridge, her daughter, and I took the train
to Orange. We had very little to say on
the way home.”
Young McKeever said he left his wife at
her gate with her mother, and went over
to his own home and went to bed. He says
he didn’t tell his father of tlie marriage,
because he knew his father would be
angry.
Henry Loveridge, the father of Marion,
did not know of the marriage until yester
day morning. He is frequently away from
home, and he could not speak of the mat
ter yesterday. Mr. Loveridge and her
daughter came to New York in the morn
ing with Mrs. Patou, and are stopping up
town. They authorized an old friend to
apeak for them. He said:
‘‘Marion and young McKeever had been
fond of each other for several years,and the
two families countenanced the friendship.
Of course, they were only about eighteen,
and marriage was not thought of. At times
Mrs. Loveridge objected to the attentions
of young McKeever. As a lad he was well
enough, but ss he grew up he contracted
bad habits. Then he was banished from
the house. He frequently promised to do
better, and Mrs. Loveridge, loving her
daughter and knowing that Marion was
fond of him, would permit him to renew
his calls. One of these last makings up was
last summer, when young McKeever
visited the Loverldges at their old family
homestead at Milford, N. II. On their re
turn the young people were more friendly
than ever.”
The friends of the family said that on
Monday of last week Marion was taken hy
her mother and Mrs. Paton to the office
of Dr. Howe, and a discovery that the older
woman had made was confirmed. Mrs.
Loveridge was in tears and Mrs. Paton in
sisted that young McKeever should marry
her niece at once. Mrs. Loveridge ac
quiesced, although sho was very bitter in
her denunciation of young McKeever.
_ « (° represent her husband,” the
family friend eoutiuued, “for her husband
was away at the time. A note was sent to
the young man reading, ‘Come up and take
me home. When youug McKeever got to
the bouse he was told that he ought t->
marry Marion at once. No threats were
used. Ho got a good talking to,
and he readily consented to tho
marriage. Then they all went back
to Orange, and Mrs. Loveridge waited all
the week for the McKeevers to take some
step toward acknowledging tho marriage.
I h, y wait, li until last Saturday night.
Then Mrs. Loveridge, Mrs. Paton and
Marion went across to the McKeever home
and told Mr. McKeever of his son’s mar
riage. Mr. McKeever was rude to them,
and said the marriage was a trick, and that
j 8 would have it annulled. Thon I was
instructed to priut the notice of the mar
riage in all the newspapers.”
Dr. Howe emphatically denies that he
used any threats to induce youug Mc
Keever to marry Miss Loveridge. He Bays
that he simply appealed to young Me-
Keever’s manhood and spoke of the repa
ration due Miss Loveridge.
The Rev. Mr. Williams says that a lady
called on him on the afternoon of the
marriage and asked him if he could marry
a couple later in the day. The names of
Jne parents were given to him, and when
the bridal party came to his house they
seemed pleasant enough, though during
the ceremony Mrs. Loveridge cried a good
deal. Mr. Williams did not notice any
nervousness on the part of either bride or
groom. Tho young people, he said, were
of marriageable age.
RAILROAD BILLS
GOVERNOR McDANIEL’S FATHER.
An Intervloiv with this Aged Gentleman, Who
Is Now Over Eighty Tears Old.
Allatoona, Ga., November 27.—One of
the halest men of his age in Georgia, is the
venerable Mr. I. O. McDaniel, father of ex-
Governor Henry D. McDaniel. Mr. Mc
Daniel, who is now over 80 years of age,
resides about a short mile from this point,
which is a station on the State road, a few
miles east of Cartersville.
Your correspondent called on Mr. Mc-
•Daniel this week. He was cordially re
ceived by the aged gentleman, whom he
found twisting twine to the corn cobs on
pigs’ necks to keep them from the fields.
When Mr. McDaniel came to greet your
correspondent he used two canes in walk
ing. He had been quite sick, so he said,
for seven weeks, with rheumatism in tho
hip and right leg, sciatic, he thought. Dur
ing the first three weeks there were seven
hours when he thought that he would not
recover. Being so old, he really thought
that his death was at hand. The pain in
his leg from hip to heel was at times
agonizing.
“But, now,” cheerily continued the old
gentleman, “I feel as If I shall soon be as
well as it is possible for a man of my age
to be. I am free of pain, and my leg is
getting supple.”
“To what do you attribute vour present
improvement?”
“Well, sir, to be honest with you, I at
tribute my great improvement this latter
week or so, to 8. S. 8. Some time ago I
thought that I would try 8. 8. 8. ,and so I got
three bottles, which I have not yet ex
hausted.”
“What suggested to you the use of that
remedy?"
“My own personal knowledge of its won
derful blood purifying qualities.”
“Why, had you ever taken the remedy
before?’’
“Oh, no,but I had used it on a woman and
child on my place, with remarkable re
sults, with such results^ indeed, as to give
me absolute faith in its wonderful power
in cleansing and purifying the blood.”
“What was the case of the woman and
child of whom you speak, Mr. McDaniel?”
“Well, I had a woman on my place who
for years had the scrofula; indeed, I think
she inherited it. At any rate, she had been
treated a long time by physicians, some of
whom I know to be deservedly high-
standing in their profession, but none of
whom was able to eradicate the foul taint
which was causing her considerable pain
ful annoyance. Finally I determined, from
the good reputation that S. 8.8. bore among
those I knew had used it, to try it on this
woman. A few bottles showed a decidedly
improved condition of the woman. While
she was taking the medicine, however,
and before the disease had been extirpated
from her own system, she bore a girl baby,
who, of course, inherited the mother’s
foul ailment. In a few months, however,
the mother was entirely cured, but the
innocent babe seemed every day to
develop more and more the filthy malady.
“Remembering how her mother had
suffered, for I had once or twice seen her
mother so low with violent developments
of the evil, that for several months, she
was hanging between life and death, with
no hope of recovery offered by the physi
cians; and there it was that I resorted, as
a last hope, to 8. 8. 8. I determined to try
to cure the baby by the same treatment
that I had rescued the mother from violent
and early death. The child was growing
worse as it grew older, and when it was a
little over a year old its head broke out all
over with obnoxious sores, which later
made appearance also on the feet. It was
a pitiable sight, and the doctors were un
able to cure the child. I therefore, as I
said, decided on a trial of S. 8. 8. Only a
few bottles served to heal the sores and
purify the blood, and to-day the child has
not a scrofulous sign about it. She is as
fat and as healthy looking as any child in
Georgia.”
“ You feel sure, then, that this patent
medicine, 8. 8. 8. really did cure two bad
cases of scrofula?”
“ I certainly do, sir; but more than that,
I know it will cure almost any blood poi
son. At the same time that I was treating
the baby, my little grandson was seriously
stung by wasps, having, as children are
liable to do, ran into a whole nest of wasps.
He was stung all about the head and neck,
and his condition at once became serious,
and for several days we were alarmed about
him. By good medical aid he was relieved
but subsequently his blood appeared out of
order, as If poisoned. He hurt his foot,
and the abrasion became a virulent sore
that would not yield to any treatment by
the physician. He seemed at this time to
be otherwise unhealthy. Regarding, there
fore, his condition as due to bad blood, I
began giving him S. S. S. Soon, rapidly,
indeed, bis foot healed, and his general
health improved as rapidly; and ever since
then he has enjoyed excellent health.
“So it was these remarkable and indis
putable cures and purifications of tho
worst blood, scrofulous, that suggested to
me the wisdom of trying S. S. 8. on my
self during my present spell. This is the
second or third severe attack of this kind
that I have had. In ’66 I was injured se
verely in the leg and hip in Atlanta in
jumping from a buggy while the horse
was running away. I attribute these at
tacks to that hurt, and 1 therefore thought
the rheumatism more or less sciatic, and,
therefore, did not really look for much, ii
any, relief from S. 8. 8., as the blood was
not, in my judgment, involved; but what
ever my theory was, I hud great faith in
8. 3. 8. and began taking it; and since I
began it, I have rapidly improved;, and I
have no doubt that that has doue me
much good.”

Atlanta Couatlunion.
The present legislature is besieged wi h
applications for railroad charters, and if
half ot the contemplated roads become a
realty Georgia will beeoino a net-work of
railroads. Charters are being asked for
from every sec.ion of the state, and the
railroad com mi tee now has its hands full.
Mr. Chappell, of Musoogeu, chairman of
the committee, said yesterday:
“Tho general awakening in railroad mat
ters is unprecedented in the stato. Our
committee is now hard at work trying to
catch up with the business before it, and
as soon as we begin to see our way clear
we will receive a now installment of bills
for charter, etc., which keeps us constant
ly ut work. During my long experience as
clerk in i ue bouse and as a member for
two sessions, there has never been so much
railroad legislation.”
The railroad committee which has here
tofore had comparatively little to do, has
become one of the most imp irtant com
mittees of the house, its chairman, Mr.
Chappell, is one ol the youngest members
of the house, as well as one of the most
thoroughly posted and most active.
Of the applications for charter, Atlanta
comes in for six of the proposed railroads.
Three of these have become familiar to the
people of Atlanta through the columns of
tho Constitution. They are the Atlanta,
Mississippi and Atlantic, tho Atlanta and
Hawkinsville, and the Georgia, Carolina
and Northern. These charters have passed
both branches of the general assembly.
TJio three others, the bills for which have
been introduced, are the Asheville and
Atlanta, from Asheville, N. C., to Atlanta,
tho Macon and Coviugton, granting privi
lege to go both to Atlanta and Athens, and
the Atlanta and Alabama from Atlanta to
Selma.
It is rumored that the charter for the
Asheville and Atlanta road, the bill for
which was introduced by Mr. Tate, of
Pickens, means the southern extension of
tho Baltimore and Ohio system. This fa
mous system lias found that ibis absolutely
necessary to have a southeru connection as
part of its system, and it is well-known in
railroad circles that it has been looki .g
for one for some time. If the Pennsylvania
Central gets a southern connection by the
construction of the Georgia, Carolina and
Northern, its competitor aud rival, the
Baltimore and Ohio, will bo forced to do
the same thing. As the Georgia, Carolina
and Northern has become a certainty, the
next thing to be looked for is the building
of the southern arm of the Baltimore and
Ohio. It is not definitely known that this
road is interested in the charter from
Asheville to Atlanta, but there is a plausi
ble rumor to that effect.
The Macon and Covington road, which
is already built and in operation for a con
siderable distance northward from Macon
will find its northern terminus in Athens,
crossing the Georgia road at Covington or
Madison. From Mouticello it is proposed
to also build to Atlanta, thus having both
the advantage of a direct route to the east
by way of Athens, aud also, by building to
Atlanta, a large share in Atlanta’s traffic,
and the advantages of tho numerous con-
neotions which will be made here. This
road is a reasonable certainty for Atlanta.
The Atlanta and Alabama road, of which
but little has been said, has assumed prom
ising proportions, and has behind it some
of the shrewdest business men of this and
other cities along the proposed line. It is
proposed to build this line from Atlanta to
Selma, crossing the Alabama line in Heard
county. By taking any railroad map and
drawing a line from Atlanta, passing it
through Campbellton, in the northern part
of Campbell county, and through Heard
county to Roanoke, just across the Ala
bama line, to Selma, any one can see at a
glance the splendid possibility of such a
road. Its incorporators say that it will
certainly be built.
Atlanta is in a decided boom, and the
boom still grows.
A Good Thing Come to Star.
America is a great country for inventions
and discoveries. Thousands upon thou
sands of new things come to light
every year; thousands upon thou
sands of them disappear to be seen and
heard of no more. Some of the discoveries
come to stay because they are genuine and
meet a long-felt want. Such a thing is
Allcook’s Porous Plaster, which after
a trial of twenty-five years is conceded to
be the best external remedy known by
both the medical fraternity aud the gen
eral public. In a quarter of a century it
has never failed in doing all that was
claimed for it. Allcock’s Porous Plas
ters have reached the place they now oc
cupy because they have been proved to be
good, safe, sure and speedy in doing their
work. A3k your druggist for Allcook’s,
and be sure to accept no other.

The heaviest scratching is done when
the itch is most violent.—St. Louis Post-
Dispatch.
Rev. H. H. Fairall, D. I)., editor of the
Iowa MethodiBt, says editorially, in the
November (1883) number of his paper:
“We have tested the merits of Ely’s Cream
Balm, and believe that by a thorough
course of treatment, it will cure almost
every case of catarrh. Ministers, as a
class, are afflicted with head and throat
troubles, and catarrh seems more preva
lent than ever. We eaunot recommend
Ely’s Cream Balm too highly.” eod&w
To suit the organs Mr. Cleveland would
not only have to rescind tho order closing

but erect a grand stand in it for reporters
and send around an advertisement of his
intentions to take exercise.—Philadelphia
Times.
The Verdict I'nanimous.
W. D. Suit, druggist, Bippus, Ind., testi
fies: “I can recommend Electric Bitters as
the very best remedy. Every bottle sold
has given relief in every case. One man
took six bottles, and was cured of rheuma
tism of 10 years’ standing.” Abraham
Hare, druggist, Bellvillo, Ohio, affirms:
“Tile best selling medicine I have ever
handled in my 20 years’ experience, is
Electric Bitters.” Thousands of others
have added their testimony, so that the
verdiebis unanimous that Electric Bitters
do cure all diseases of the liver, kidneys or
blood. Only a half dollar a bottle at Bran

Excitement In Texas.
Great excitement bus been caused in the i
vicinity of Paris, Texas, by the remarkable
recovery of Vlr. J. E. Corley, who was so \
helpless he could not turn in bed, or raise ]
his head; everybody said he was dying of
consumption. A trial bottle of Dr. King’s !
New Discovery was sent him. Finding re- j
lief, he bought a large battle and a box of I
Dr. King’s New Life Pills; by the time he j
had taken two boxes of Pills and two bot- !

Green & Co., in their report on cotton futures,
says : Contracts had an irregular market, and
while appearances early in the day look promis
ing for further gain, the final result wipes out
advance and leaves most of the months a fraction
under last evening with feeling quiet. Port re
ceipts, together with interior towns movement
and stocks, greatly exceeded calculation, and
under this disappointment the hnll element
seemed to lose some of their nerves, though still
making something of an effort to hold their posi
tion.

Cured by Cutlcura.
I AST November iny little boy, aged three years,
J fell against the stove while he was running
and cut his head, and, right alter that, he broke
out all over bis head, luce and left ear. 1 had a
good doctor, Dr. —, to attend him, but he got
worse, and the doctor could not core him. Ilis
whole head, lace and left ear were in a fearfril
state, and lie suffered terribly. 1 caught the dis
ease from him, and it spread all over iny luce and
neck, aud even got into my eyes. Nobody thought
we would ever get better. 1 felt sure wo were dis
figured for life. I heard of 1 hr* ('tilieura Reme
dies, and procured a bottle oft.'uticuru Resolvent,
a box of (Titicura. and a cake of Cuticura Boap,
and used them constantly day arid night. After
using two bottles of Resolvent, four boxes of uuti-
eura and four cakes ol Boap, we are perfectly
cured without a sear. My boy’s skin is now like
satin. LILLIE EPTING,
