MACON, GA., NOVEMBER 5, 1878.
THE GEORGIA JfKESS.
Th* Felton men most be getting dee*
perate, jedging from the following, which
we find in the Constitution:
We have a rumor that appears to be
well accredited, to the effect that the ne
gro, Middlebtooks, is now oreanizing an
excursion of Alabama negroes into Geor
gia for the purpose of polling them in the
Lester-Felton election. The rumor comes
in suoh shape that we can hardly discred
it it. It is certainly of enough import
ance to demand the prompt and positive
attention of the friends of a fair election
in that district: It is said that Middle-
brooks will import these negroes in num
bers and vote them about in the district
anywhere that he can place them. It has
been charged time and time again that
hundreds of illegal votes have been cast
for Felton in' previous elections, and it
looks like tbo same trick was about to be
played again. A gentleman who bas
been very prominent in the campaign
wrote us the other day: “The fight is
already whipped, and whipped badly—if
nobody but the legal voters of the district
are allowed to vote.”
Tux same paper thinks the administra
tion “imagines that several hundred dep
uty marshals it proposes to scatter
through the South will be murdered in
their el°<>p. and that is what it is sending
them for. But a greater mistake was
never made. The boys will tako them in
before sunrise, givo them spiked butter
milk, and leave them asleep beforo the
fire. We are progressing down here. An
Iowa sutler came along winter before
last and scattered tbe recipe all over the
country. Spiked buttermilk ia a mighty
bad beverage."
Tex canvass in tbe Ninth district
doesn't seem to cool as it draws nearer
the end. The Athens Fanner wants to
know “if Emory Speer always pays hiB
debt?, why don’t he pay a certain butch
er in Athens a claim of $69.85, which he
has against him for beef-eating during
the past year, and for which tbe butcher
would be glad to get $50?”
The Hawkinsville Dispatch, referring
to General Cook’s speech m Telfair the
other day, says “everybody was pleased
with his remarks, and one of the most
intelligent lawyers present, after the
speecr, declared it the bset campaign
speech he ever heard, and that if he had
been an advocate of tbe greenback party
heretofore, he would at once withdraw
from the party and stick to the o-gan-
ised Democracy.’’
We find the following in the same pa
per:
Tux Civil Eioht3 Bill not in Fobox
in Haweinsvillb.—On Friday last
sensation was created in Hawkinsville
over tho announcement that Mr. John
L. Dawns, of Hoaaton county, had escort
ed! a colored man, one Jordan Horne, into
the restaurant of Frank Herzog, bad
taken seats and called for dinner at one
of the regular tables used by the white
guest?, l’nis attempt to inaugurate the
civil rights bill in Hawkinsville was not
relished by those witnessing it, and Mr.
Herzog’s attention was called to it, that
he might: protect the reputation of his
house. K«s pioceeded immediately to
eject tho colored man from his table, and
to inform him' that bis action was an un
warranted liberty. Herzog then tamed
hisattention to- Down?, who, by this
time, bad also- made his exit. On finding
him upon the streets, Herzog denounced
him in no measured terms, and warned
him never again to enter his house.
Downs is a mason by trade, and, we are
informed, was in the Federal army. We
do not‘believe ho enteitains sentiments
cfsocial equality with the colored race,
and will do him the charity to presnme
that he was under the influence of liquor.
This is the most reasonable construction
"xe can put upon his conduct
Bcbninq of a Gin House and Twen
ty. Bales or Cotton—Abbest of the
ScPFdJO Inckndiabt.—On Wednesday
night last, about a quarter to nine
o’clook, tbe gin house of Mr. John Scar
borough was discovered to be on fire.
Mr. Scarborough started immediately to
Ihe homing building, which was about
one hundred yards from his dwelling.
Upon a minutes’ reflection, ho re-entered
his house, seized his pistol and ran hur-
riedly-down tho road, thinking that the
Incendiary was somewhere near. As he
zsss down the road, he saw a man rnn
zing from him, and he began firing upon
the fugitive, bnt probably without effect.
The fire was cisoovered in perhaps a few
minutes after it had been' started, but
the flames spread rapidly, and m a few
minutes the building and ite contents
were consumed. The loss, besides the
bnilding, gin etc , consisted of twenty
bales of cotton and tbe seed from thirty-
three bales.
Mr. Scatborongh saw that there was
no chance, from the first discovery, to
extinguish the fire, and at once tamed
his attention to the capture of the fiend
who applied the match. He had his
suspicions upon a certain man, and they
appeared well grounded.
On Saturday afternoon last Marshal
William H. Davies, of Hawkinsville ar
rested one Lon Philips, a colored man,
and on Mcnday be bad a commitment
trial before A- O. Pipkin, Justice of th
Peace, who deoided to bind Lun over in
oond of one thousand dollars for his ap
pearance at the next term of Palsski
Superior Court. Ia default of bond the
prisoner was committed to juL
Tax Sanders villa Herald makes an ar
gument in favor of sjrnp versus cotton,
and illustrates it as follows: From one
aero of cane, Bev. J. M. Smith, of that
connty, realized seven barrels of fine
ajrup, which, after deducting til ex
penses, would realise him $115. From
the same ground he could get only one
bale of cotton, worth, evon at nine cents
per pound, only $45. Let’s all qnit cot
ton and go in for syrup.
The Atlanta Independent is responsible
for the following, which it ssys occurred
in Halt connty: *
A white woman, abont tweniy-oue or
two years old—compos mentis—actually
bought from an elderly woman her son,
for the express purpose of making a hus
band of him. The yonng man was said
to have been abont twenty years old; the
mother, however, sold him for a muslin
dress and a few yards of calico. The
trade was made 8nnd«y, and tbe man was
to be delivered three milos fr:m tbe pur
chaser's bouse tbe Taesdav following.
Tuesday was a bad day np ben; we bad
one of those cold east rains that is com
mon at this season of the year, bnt the
fair purcaosrr walked her tnreo miles in
the rain to get possession of her invest
ment. This is no hoax, bnt true; the
names could all be given if nsceaury.
The Chronicle and Constitutionalist of
Friday, has fall and meat interesting de
tails of (he uu veiling of the Confederate
monument in Augusta on Thursday,
which we regret not b|ing able to repro
duce in full. Of the monument it says:
The marble portion of the monument
wm executed at Carers, Italy, and the
first shipment of it reached Augusts a
short time since. Mr. Markwalter com
menced its erection at once, and on last
Saturday the entire work, including the
base, wm finished.
The monument is seventy-two feet ia
height. The base, which is of Georgia
granite, is twenty-two feet square. The
, foundation of brick is four feet high,
ting the whole seventy-six feet in
[ht. At the corners ol the first sec-
j, twenty feet from tbe base, are large
rble statues of Generals B. E, Lee,
Stonewall Jackson, Tho?. B. B. Cobb
and W. H. T. Walker, representing re
spect! vely the Lost Cause, the State of
Georgia and Richmond county. The
second section contains Confederate em
blems in bas relief *nd the coats of arms of
the Confederacy and State of Georgia.
Engraven npon tablets are the following
inscriptions:
On the north side—
in sixmoeiam.
• No nation rose so white and (air.
None fell, so pure ot crime.”
On the sonth side—Worthy to have
lived and known our gratitnde; worthy
to be hallowed and held in tender re
membrance; worthy the fadeless fame
which Confederate soldiers won. Who
gavo themselves in fife and death for ns:
for tbe honor of Geoigia; for the rights
of the States; for the liberties of the
people; for the sentiments of the South
for the principles of the Union; as these
were handed down to them by the fathers
of onr common conntry.
On tho east side—Onr Confederate
dead.
On the west side—Erected A: D., 1878,
by the Memorial Association of Augusta,
in honor of the men ot Biohmond county
who died in tho causo of the Confederate
States.
The Association has raised, since its
first organization, the sum of $20,934.04.
Tbis amount has been expended in tbe
following manner: Soldiers’ section, $2,
606 46; design of monument, $500; foun
dation and laying the corner stono of the
monument, $1,156.34; incidental expen
ses during the past ten years, $4,386;
monument, $14,900; granite steps and
coping, $1,185;. Making the total ex
penditures to date, $20,35166, and tbe
cost of the monument, $17,332.34.
Mr?. Stonewall Jackson was present In
a carriage accompanied by Mr. and Mrs.
John M. Clark. Governor Colquitt rode
in a carriage drawn by four white horse?,
From the eloquent oration of Colonel C.
C. Jones we quote this extract, as show
ing its style and spirit:
With raptovous joy do we hail the ded
ication of this goodly monument. With
kindling hearts do we respond to the in
spirations and the memories which its
presence bespeak?. We glory in the rec
titude of the cause, and exult in the
valor of the men symbolized by itB tower
ing form and martial outlines. In open
day, and in the face of the world, wo
hero protest that so far from bsing “reb
els against legitimate authority and trait*
ors to their country,” onr Confederate
dead were “lover3 of liberty, combatants
for constitutional rights, and, as exem
plars of heroic virtue, benefactors of their
,ce.”
For the past we have no apolcgieB to
offer, no excuses to render, no regrets to
utter, save that we failed in onr high
endeavor; no team to shed except over
withered hopes and the graves of our de
parted worthies. We yielded in the end
because we were overborne by superior
numbers and weightier munition?. Any
pledges given will be by ub duly observed;
but it is well known, alike by friend and
stranger, that nothing has been abso
lutely determined except the question of
comparative strength. The issne fur
nished only a physical solution of the
moral, social and political propositions
involved in the eigantio straggle. The
sword never does, and never can com
pass other than a forcible arbitrament in
matters of conscience, principle, and in
alienable right. Even now the funda
mental claim?, tho political privileges,
and the vested rights in support of which
the Southern people expended their
blood and treasure, are, in a moral point
of view unaffected by the result of tbe
contest. This we confidently affirm in the
teeth of the practical and in many re
spects lamentable consequences en
tailed by the intervention of the vis major.
The necessity was laid upon us to main
tain our State sovereignty, home rule,
honor, property and self-respect, at the
expense of wounds, desolation and death.
An appeal to arms in an unequal etiife,
and in a defensive war, was all that was
left to u?. For four long and bloody
years were onr entire manhood and capa
bilities enlisted in the great battle for
constitutional liberty and self-preserva
tion. We failed, but not until we had
demonstrated to an expectant world that
we deemed life lessdear than honor, and
that we were at least not; anwortby the
privilege?, the homes and the equalities
for which we contended.
The day will surely come—aye, It’s
dawning is already begun—when the con-
dnot of the Confederate States in their
amaziDg contest for right, property, and
an independent national existenos, will be
justified, honored, and admired by all
who possess the knowledge to discern,
the honesty to appreoiate, and tbe candor
to confess. The wealth of high resolves,
fearless purposes, strenuous exertions and
generous saorifioes—Ihe satisfaction born
of a consciousness of duty discharged,
manhood vindicated, andoountry defend
ed while hope and ability remained—an
abiding confidence in tbe reotitnde of onr
lofty empire—the reoord of brave deeds—‘
the xeoolleotions of a heroio past, and the
rich legacy bequeathed by the valor and
devotion of sons, brothers, fathers—all
these and more are onzs, and neither the
lapse or years nor tbe mutations of for
tune can wrest them from us.

The editor of the LaGrange Reporter is
indignant because some of its subscribers
“seem very anxious to have the Reporter
come ont in favor of one candidate and
goto telling lies on tbe other.”
The Reporter, in an aitiele on the
meeting of the Legislature next week,
■ays:
There will probably be but one candl-
data for United States Senator. If
there la any opposition worthy of tha

almost unanimously on the fint tallot.
This is nothing more than he deserves.
He is a patriot without fear and without
reproaob, worthy of any honor his State
can bestow.

New York Herald.l
Now, whst is trno of New York is true
of every city and town in the United
State?, excepting those in the Southwest
which have been to terribly desolated by
the yellow fever. The stories cbout the
vast number of laborers who can find no
employment aro gross exaggerations.
How many well authenticated caees are
there of people who have died of starva
tion? Not a hundred nor even one-fifth
of that number, within the whole ample
boundaries of the United States. Bnt
how have our laboring population procur
ed food and shelter exospt by their earn
ings? Laying out of view the tramps and
the thieves, those who do not live on their
industry must be sustained by publlo
charity. Bat if we look into the statistics
of the publlo charities of the oountry we
shall find that they have no more money
to spend than inordinary years. Tbe
faot that all our people eat and do not
starve is a complete answer to a great
deal of the prevalent croaking.
As to the agricultural class, which
forms tbe great balk of oar population,
an | exploration of any rnral district
would 8uffio9 to show that it has both
employment and broad; nay, that it is in
state of comfort and prosperity. We
oan reach this conclusion by an easier and
surer method than wide personal exami
nations. We have trustworthy statistics
of the crops, which have never been so
abundant as in the present year. We
have never raised so muob wheat, corn
and ootton as in tbe season wbiohhas just
passed. The raising of these Bplendid
crops bas given fall employment to agri
cultural labor, and tbo vast exports which
are in progress proves that the labor does
not miss its reward. We oonoludo, there
fore, that if people will open their eyes
to facts instead of lending their ears to
croakers, they need not tsko a very de
sponding view of tbe condition of the
oonntry.
American Beamy In France.
Baltimore Gazette, Baris letter J
If one’s eyes are dazzled at any of the
official balls at Paris by a sodden vision of
loveliness, be sure that the vision afore
said bas oome straight aoroas tbe Atlan
tic. Now, onr girls at home are prettier
than pinks and peaohes, bnt onee let
them oome to Parts and let their natural
taste in dress rsoeive the finishing
tonohes of Parisian style and the result
it—well, it Is just bewildering. And it is
really amnsing, if sometimes a little an
noying, to note the sensation that one of
onr radiant damsels will oreate In any
plaoa of pnblio resort. A lady friend
of mine, with her husband, took a lit
tle Amerioan beauty to that quiet and
atriotly moral theatre, Opera Com-
ique, a few nights ago. The young lady
wsa quietly thongh stylishly dressed
and was a perfectly well bred and modeit-
mannered girl, bnt when the party went
out to promenade in the foyer between
the acts, as is the custom here, the peo
ple literally walked round and round the
dazzling little Americaine, gazing at her
in open-eyed aatoniehment and admira
tion. Yet she was simply a very pretty
little brunette, with a complexion whose
cream and roses owed none of their lustre
to pearl-powder or paint. So if a sug
gestion of mine, made before the exhibi
tion was opened, bad been carried Cut,
namely, that each of onr cities should
■end a collection of portraits of its famons
belles, I trow that that exhibit wonld
have proved the most popular one in the
Champ do Mir?. As it is, there
are scarcely any portraits ever
shown there of onr fair damea and
damsels. There is indeed one of Miss
Howe (the daughter of Mrs. Jnlia Ward
Howe, the poetess,) in the American ait
department, bnt the painting hardly does
justice to the loveliness of the original.
In tbe Italian art department the por
trait of Miu Emilio Scbaumberg of Phil
adelphia, by the most celebrated of living
Italian portrait painters. Signor Bom-
plan i, baa attracted much attention. The
artist has admirably reproduced the lin
gular grace and refinement of tbs origin
al—no light task, by the way, to judge
from tbe difficulty that even tbe greatest
of the French artist3 seem to experience
in that respect, as witness Carolus Du
ran. Tho pictnre is a three-quarters
length, the body being represented in a
white satin ball drees, embroidered with
white jet. The coloring is at onoe vivid
and delicate, and the picture is a striking
work of art, as well as an admirable like
ness of a beautiful woman.

Synod of tieurgla.
Correspondence Telegraph and Htssengor.l
Dr. Jams* Woodrow said that every
thing would be excluded bnt the law and
the evidenoe, so that we should not allow
popular sentiment to Influence ns. Dear
is the disoipllne of tbe churob, but the
purity of the ohuroh is dearer still. Jus-
tioe is said to be blind, bnt it is because
she can see nothing save what oomes
from the light of the throne of God. Now,
as pastor?, let us inquire what it is the
Great Shepherd expeotsus to do. Tbe
word is not given to ns alone, theemblem
of onr power is not tbe olnb to beat and
mangla thess given ns in oharge; not tbe
ox goad to wound the stubborn brute, bnt
the shepherd’s orook, to bring baok tbe
sheep to the fold. When St. Paul exer-
died the authority over the
ohuroh at Corinth, did he smite
with the spear, or did he use
the Shepherd’s crook. The trouble here
was that many came to eat and be drank-
an at the feast of the Lord, they even
wore not excluded from the Church, but
whon the person in tho adultery wbb
deemed unfit for God’s people, then was
the discipline exercised. The Church of
Christ exists in a two fold form os we xe
gard tho kingdom, the Chnrch invisible
and tbe Church on earth. The kingdom
of Heaven when Christ speaks of ic iathe
Church on eartn, and tbo daty of the
husbandman is not to root out bnt to
bring ont as abundant a crop
as his Lord will allow him the
mean?. Ought ono who had given his
hoart to God be tnrned out ot the church,
even if God has accepted him. He may
bo good enough for Christ’s Church, but
not good enough for our church. These
are some of the reflections which should
govern ns in making np our decision.
We are not to be controlled by any au
thority bnt God’s Word as we have agreed
to receive it as interpreted, we are not
to be influenced by any man’d opinion.
It is to us that this question bas been
entrusted, and were we to aot, under the
lights yielded ,us by the illuminating
Spirit—John Calvin is as unsafe a guide
to follow as any other man—and if he was
in tbis Synod I wonld vote to suspend
him from his cffice for Sabbath breaking,
for he was guilty of indulging in worldly
amusements on the Sabbath—playing
ball, Mr. Moderator, on Sunday evening.
The Dr. then proceeded to discuss the
law of the case as irregular, according to
the Constitution.
■ A brother—Is not common fame men
tioned as the prosecutor ?
Dr. W.—Undoubtedly, but common
fame makes accusations and does not
prove them.
The oharge is fatally defeotiv?, as there
no specification of the offense oharged,
or of the law. No indictment is good that
charges a man simply, without specifying
the law violated. There is no law ol
the ohnroh changed. There was a man!
festation of prejudice in the trial, and
this I substantiate by saying that one o]
the sessions refased to aot as oouossl for
the defense.
The elder, who was asked to defend
him by Mr. Block, gave as bis reason
that he did not know but that It might be
against bis conscience. Is tbis tbe way
legal gentlemen aot? The objoot of
oounsel Is to give the aocuaed a fair trial,
and I say on the part of a lawyer and an
elder to refaee the defense of the acoused
is, I say a maniafestation of prejudioe
whiob should have vitiated the entire pro
ceedings.
Mr. Clisby, “Do yon mean by preja
dioe, prejndgment.”
Dr. W. “I do ss used in our Book. I
think Mr. Block acted with kindness to
tho court for he wont on to trial
without a friend or comrade to stand by
bis side bnt alone. I say that the sen
tence does not correspond to the accnsa
sion. Ho waB tried for one offense, and
sentenced for throe, and the sentence
does not corrssepond with the first. The
sentence say dancing both round and
Bgaaro was had, and having attempted
to justify the same—now Mr. Block did
non justify ihe round. Mr. Block did
right to justify the validity of the deliv-
erances—if he did not do eo he wonld
have done wrong. In the next place, I
say that his refusal to answer the ques
tion of the Comt was no contempt; he
had a right to refuse from the first
Mr. Block had tbe right of not crimina
ting himself. As to the contumacy tho
prejudice in the sense of prejndgment
there were other things which made
him silent.
Dr. Leftwloh’s manner, the evidenoe
showB, was most disagreeable. The same
questions after being asked were repeated
in an unpleasant and disagreeable man
ner. Coniumaoy is charged “again and
and again.” Contumacy is a definite,
spsoifio^ and sharply defined thing with
us. It is to refuse to obey a citation.
(He read tbe law on oontnmaoy.) Mr.
.Blook did not refuse to attend the oitatioD,
and after the sentence was passsd he be
haved in a atriotly legal manner, and ap
pealed the case as he had a right to do.
Dr. W. then read tbe law on irregular
ity.—Ait. 3, sec. 3, Book of DiBolpline. It
is said that the law tonohlng worldly
amusement has been violated. I have
not fonnd any law abont worldly amnse
ments. What are worldly amusements?
Are they sinful amusements? Is |not
ball playing a worldlyamusement, or bant
ing, or fishing or rolling ton pins
—which I wish I had kept np, for it
wonld do me great good, and yon, too,
and all ot ns—or playing billiards? Are
these worldly amusements? Are they
sinful?—or are they only sinful when ac
companied with sin? Gcd has given us
a taste for amnaemant, and we have a
right to enjoy onreelTes. Then do not,
Uke monks, throw them back in the faoe
of God. I say that these amusements

NINTH SESSION.
Atlanta, October 30th, 1878.
The Synod reassembled at 7:30 p. ar.,
and waaoalled to order by the Moderator,
Dr. Baker.
Dr. Woodrow had the floor.
Dr. Woodrow said that he wonld not
give a long review of bis remarks this
evening. Tha speaker then resnmed at
the point at whioh he had suspended
to-wit: That tha deliveranoein this case
■re not law. Isay I think 1 oan estab
lish whst I say.
These deliverances do not profess to be
law, on their faoe. If there Is any over
ture to the assembly that there Is any der
eliction of duty the assembly mart send
down a dellversnoe whiob binds.
I will say in passing that as common
feme reported that there bad been danc
ing at Mr. Blook’s konse, the session was
bound to investlgate the matter, bnt they
were also bonnd to see if any law had
been violated. It was their daty to have
examined tbe law, and to see if any of
fense fell under any law of tbe Ghnrob,
and then their finding mast have been
different, and they would thus have
obeyed the Assembly.
The Assembly may give directions on
all matters of morals. The Assembly

Here he read from tha eonstitntion of
the Churob. The authority can only be
exerolaed through judicial processes.
Here he read from the digest by Moore,
page 478.
“It cannot be pat under statute, and

Dr. Nall asked the time of date.
Dr. Woodrow—1856. I wonld say that
the time was when the feeling was warm
est on the aubject. The effeot of the de
liverance was that they have no power on
constitutional principles to pass any law
other than advisory; that it haB no right
to pass an authoritative law, and that if
any attempt at reform is made, it mnst
be strictly according to the constitution.
The whole trnth is here stated, and it is
unnecessary for me to comment. If a

Tlie Nuptial Kiel an Hour Be
fore the Bride’s Decease
San Francisco Call, October 6th,]
A few months ago. Henry Charming
Beals brought suit in the Nineteenth
District Conrt for divorce from his wife,
Mary E. W. Beale. Pending the decision
in the case, Mrs Beals bronghta oonnter-
anit in the same Conrt against Mr. Beals
for alimony without divorce, which suit
was denied by Judge Wheeler, as set
forth in,the history of the case, published
at that time in the Call. On Friday af
ternoon last the report of tbe referee in
the case of Henry Channing Beals
against Mary E. W. Beals was submitted
and placed on file. Snbseqnently Judge
Wheeler, hearing that the defendant was
quite ill and sinking rapidly, examined
the papers, and granted H. Channing
Beals a decree of divorce on the grounds
as prayed for in the complaint, and per
mitted the defendant to resume her
maiden name—Mary Eliza Ward. An
additional chapter in this sad family his
tory wbb told by the papers of yesterday
aB follows:
“XTABRISD.
“Gardiner—'Ward—In this city, Octo
ber 4th, B. Gardiner to Miss Mary E.
Ward.
“DIED.
“Gardiner—In this city, October 4th,
of Bright’s disease of the kidneys, Mary
Eliza, wife of B. Gardiner. Her fnends
are respectfully invited to attend the fu
neral to-morrow (Snnday) at 2 o’clock p.
m., from her late residence, 1520 Eddy
street.”
Baldwin Gardner, the party of the first
part mentioned in the first notice is the
party whom it is said was taken by Mr.
Beals to his honse when bnt a child and
treated as a member of the family. As he
reached the age of manhood, it is averred
that he entered into such relations with
Mrs. Beals that the two were ejected
from the house of the husband, together
with the two children of Mrs. Beals, who
with her children took np residence at the
honse of Mr. Gardiner’s mother, 1,620
Eddy street, and shortly afterward she
was taken serionsly ill. Her malady
growing rapidly worse, and her great so
licitation for the future social standing
ofher two children, caused Judge Wheel
er, when the facts were laid before him
at 2 p. m. on Friday, to immediately
grant the divorce eb prayed for by Mr.
Beals. At 4 p. m. of the same dar Mrs.
Beals, then Mary Eliza Ward, was mar
ried to Baldwin Gardiner, and one boar
and a half later, or at half past 5 p. m.,
she was no more, having, amid great
suffering, passed away.
The divorce case of Henry Channing
Beals against Mary E. W. Beals, has,
owing to its remarkable denonement, in
the divorce, remarriage and death of ths
defendant, all within the short space of
three and one-half hoars, on Friday after
noon last, attracted the attention of even
those to whom all ordinary sensation
would have no charm. Still another is add
ed to the already numerous chapters of this
sad family history by the funeral yester
day of tbo late Mrs. Beals-Gardiner, at
1520 Eddy street, at 2 p. m. The ab
sence of all the immediate relatives of
the deceased woman by her first marriage
was noticeable.
The former marriage between Mr.
Beals and tbe yonng and beantifnl Miss
Mary Eliza Ward was solemnized in 1854,
at what was tben oalled the Unitarian, or
Dr. Gray’s Chnrch, on Stookton street.
The marriage ceremony was accompanied
by the baptism, for tbe first time, of Mrs.
Beal?. Both services were conducted by
a now eminent divine, presiding over a
large pariah in this city. The Bame cler
gyman who, twenty-five years since, per
formed the above ceremony, was called
npon at an early honr Friday afternoon
and- shown a deoree issued by Jndge
Wheeler of the Nineteenth District Court,
at two o’clock, annulling the marriage, on
the ground of adnltery on the part of the
wife, and allowing her to resntre her
maiden name, Miss Eliza Ward. He was
again asked to unite once more Miss
Ward in the bonds ot wedlook with Bald
win Gardiner, tbe very man with whom
the alleged liaison had previously existed
which had oansed her hnsband to seek
and obtain the divorce.
The ostensible reason for desiring this
hasty marriage was the fact that Miss
Ward was lying serionsly ill and failing
rapidly, and that it was tho desire of both
Mr. Gardiner and herself to become bus-
band and wife ere her death, so that the
two little boys, aged respectively seven
and nine years, the offspring of their
guilty onion, might receive the benefit of
the following law of tbe State of Califor
nia: “The child born before wedlock be
comes legitimate by the subsequent mar
riage of ite parents.” The clergyman
[iroceeded to the house of Gardiner, on
Elddy street, in which Mrs. Beals sought
an asylum, after leaving her husband’s
roof, some months since, and where she
has since resided.
Here, by the bedside of tbe dying
man, Mr. Gardiner, in the presecos of the
olergyman and others, made a solemn
declaration of his paternity, after whioh
at about four p. m., the olergyman pro
nonnoed the solemn words by whioh the
divorced, gnilty and dying woman wbb
made the wife of the living cause and
liartnerof her shame. After this Mrs.
Gardiner sank rapidly, and within cne
hour and a half, at abont halt-past five
o’olook, she was no more.
