DAILY INQUIRER -«gUN; COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, SATURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 4, 18«. MISS MARION WE A WIFK bridegroom M’Keever's Father Goes to Law About it at On'oe. Barring* Notice On* Day and Notice of Content the Next—The Voung Man Naya lie nun Fright ened Into It—The Lorerldgea Mar that IIIk Uood Feeling wax Appealed to. 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.” Tile llnss Evil.

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 Editor ban liven There. The heaviest scratching is done when the itch is most violent.—St. Louis Post- Dispatch. Rev. H. H.

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.
