HOWriJVINOSTON STANDS.
Col Livinfison wants bo run himself, as
everybody V ows, but his friends prefer
that he aboutl go to the House of Repre
sentatives, a id, if correctly reported, he has
agreed that his name shall not go before the
legislature, knowing full well, however,
that the ebanoas of the alli
ance uniting on Mr. Calhoun
are very small, and that he himself stands
an excellent chance of being called into the
race at tie lest moment An announce
ment of dr. Calhoun’s candidacy is now
expected at an early date. So it appears
that thn question of h w the railroads and
the farmer were to be united in politics is
about to be solved, and the alien from Illi
nois, who has not even a o&rpst bagger’s
claim to citizenship, turns out to be the
missing link.

no federation of the locomotive engineers
with the brakemon, firemen, conductors
and other railway employes. As stated
last week the majority report, favoring
federation , presented at the brotherhood
convention in this city, was defeated. Since
that vote was taken the convention has

THEIR PRIVILEGE.
They can if they think necessary join
hands with other trainmen wnen differ

their employes. This has long been a rule
adl @red to by the brotherhood, and it is
seldom that the members take part in strikes
inaugurated by other organizations com

hood believes in maintain! gau independent
position, hence the refusal to adopt a reso

lively time in the territorial legislature to
day. The Kingfisher capital bill was up

among their friends on the floor. The
speaker’s attention was called to this in
fraction of the rules by Representative
Terrell of Guthrie, but he refused to have
the lobbyists ejected. Representative
[ Terrell arose to his feet
and drew a 44-calibre rev Tver
from his pocket, stating that if the House
could not be protected by its own ruler he,
at all events, would protect himself from
the insults of insolent lobbyists. The
sight of the revolver caused a stampede, and
what few members were left in the chamber
immediately adjourned the House.

TITLE BROUGHT HER MANY WOSB.
Caught by an Adventurer Claiming
to be a Count, Desertion Followed
Elopement.
From the Se :r York Herald.
Asbury Park, N. J., Oct. 23.—The ex
elu-ive story told in yesterday’s Herald of
the arrest and incarceration in the Raymond
street jail, Brooklyn, of a beatiful, well
dressed young woman calling herseif “Mrs.
Annie W ilmartb,” on the charge of drunk
enness, created no eid it gossip at Keyport,
N. J., where the young woman is probably
betier known than a - Orange, N. J.. where
she claimed she resided.
Her real name is Lizzie Da Vere, and her
life has been a>a i < :u- from the day she
married “Count” De Vera of Holland, who
about ten years ago created a sensation by
his advent into society at Keyport.
As the alleged count brought no latter* of
introduction with him wnea he entered
Keyport society, many of the doors of tbe
first-class families of that town were
closed to him and he had to be contented
with what acquaintance he could make at
tbe Mansion house, where he was staying,
or at the church fairs and festivals, whien
be invariably attended. His poished man
ners and dudish nays made him quite a
favorite among the young ladies at the fairs
and festivals.
Among those smitten with the “count’s”
poli.e manners was Miss Lizzie Ogden, the
daughter of Postmaster Rufus Ogden of
thar. town. Miss Ogden was then only
about 16 years of age, and, I am told, was
one of the handsomest girls in the country.
The “count” appeared to be as madly
smitten with Miss Ogden.
PERSUADED TO ELOPE.
Finding there was no possible way of hit
gaining admittance into the Ogdon family,
the “Couut” met his ladylove clandest
inely. the outcome of which was an elope
ment and secret marriage.
The elopement created the biggest sensa
tion Keyport ever had and it lasted the
u-ual nine days. When it had finally
blown over, the young bride and groom re
tured to town and stayed at the hotel, the
door to the Ogden household being closed
to the “Count" aid “C-iuntess.” After
much persuasion on the part of the young
“Countess,” the family, after satisfying
themselves that there was no wav of an
nulling the marriage, opened their doors to
the pair.
All went well until Mr Ogden learned
that the “count’s” U. iu, if rudeed it te
ll >nged to him, was an empty honor, and
tba his new son-in-law, who had always
boasted of owning c untk-ss millions, was
almost penniless. Then he learned that the
marriage was not altogether a loving one,
but was made by the "juut so as to get a
tooting in the Ogden family, thinking that
through the influence of his brotuer-in
law, Judge Alfred Walling, he could secure
a lucrative government position. When
the “count” learned that there was no in
tention on the part of his father-in-law to
secure him the position he desired he began
to neglect bis wife, and in less than two
years he abandoned her.
BROODING OVER RER TROUBLES.
The young bride, wten she realized that
her vision ,s of palaces and riches were only
visions began brooding over her hasty mar
riage, and for the firs time begun to find
sul ce in the wine cup. Often when she
would get, brooding over her downfall she
wouhi suddenly leave her parents’ home
and visit this city or Brooklyn and drown
her sorrows in liquor. On one or two occa
sions when she was off on these sprees she
would be arrested and lodged in jail, but in
each case when arrested she would tell who
she was, and when her stasements would be
verified by tel 'graphic dispatches between
the chief of police and the father of the girl,
she would be sent home in c aarge of a friend
or a policeman.
Abo it a year ago she left her home very
suddenly, and noihi g was heard from her
for some time. While the family were
worrying they received a dispatch from
Elizabeth, informing them that their
daughter was fouud intoxicated upon the
street, and was held pending word from
them.
suit for non-suppobt.
They were so incensed at her actions that
they refused, on account of notoriety, to
take any action against the ‘‘Count” for
non-support of his wife. Lately, when they
learned that the “Count'’ was liviug in New
York, they, in behalf of their daughter,
commenced legal actions against him for
support. When the papers were served
upon him, the “count” promised to support
his wife and did so for a short time, nnen
he again left her, and nothing has been
heard of his whereabouts since.
When I called upon the aged ex
postmaster at his home iu Keyport to-day,
he told me that the young woman confined
in Raymond street jail was his daughter
Lizzie.
SEEMS AN IMPOSTOR.
“I have made several attempts to find out
whether the title that De Vote travels un
der belongs to him,” said h to me, “hut
so far I have been uuable to settle it defi
nitely.”
Mr. Ogden told me that De Vere’s rela
tives resided in Holland, and that he had
learned from his daughter, who had gone
abroad with her husband, that they were
well connected. The reason his daughter
had given a fictitious name when arrested
he thought was on account of her wish to
keep tbe matter from her aged mother, who
is ia ill health.
3HS TOLD THKM TO GIT.
Two Constables Held at Bay by a
Dauntless Indian Maiden.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Baltimore, Oct. 25.—There was a lively
scene on the Front Street theater stage last
night just as the curtain was about to be
rung up. Go Won Go, the Mohawk Indian
girl vfho is starring in the “Indian Mail
Carrier,” had been sued fvr $2,000 damages
by the Forepaugh Theater Company of this
city, because ot an alleged breach of con
tract. Shortly before 8 o’cloci two con
s'ables pushed their way through the stage
entrance with a writ of attachment on the
horse which Go Won Go uses iu her daring
feats. Ass on as the business was known
tnere was fun. Go Won Go. in a suit cf
war paint, feathers and moccasins, was full
of fight. She stepped up to the officers and
said:
“You just lay a finger on one of those
horses if you dare. Now git.”
Charles Charley, who does the Irishman
in the Diece, was at her side w ith his trusty
rifle in his hand.
“Git,” said Go Won Go once more, and
the constable “got.” A daring Mohawk
maiden, who might think nothing of scalp
ing a constable or two, was more than they
had bargained for, and so the play went on
undisturbed. Miss Go Won Go has engaged
a lawyer.

From the St Lemit Republic.
Sioux City, la., Oct. 25.—The fickleness
of a maiden's miDd was well illustrated here
yesterday, when Fred Rees and Minnie Cul
ley were married. They had long been
lovers, and the young man, who is an ex
press messenger <>n tbe Sioux City and
Northern road, has oeen saving bis wages
tor over a year to furnish a home for his
bride.
Ali is well that ends well, but for the past
two months affairs looked blue for Roes.
About that length of time ago one _ Walter
Ross, a train dispatcher on the Northern
Pacific, who lives at Minneapolis, met Miss
Cuiley. whoso tome is at Fort Dodge, and
at once laid siege to her heart. His suit
was favored by her father, and a week ago
she agreed to throw her old lover over and
marry Ross. This suited the father, and he
fitted np a house for the young couple at
Fort Dodge, where Ross was to get employ
ment soon. Monday Miss Cuiley came to
Sionx City, and, or course, met her old
flame, Rees, whom she told of
the turn affairs had taken. He
was downcast, but not disheartened, and
by Tuesday evening the girl bad changed
her mind and started for Fort Dodge to
pack up and run away with Rees. But
while she waa getting ready her father
dropped on to her plan and prevented oer
taking tbe early train for this city.
Then the father tried to persuade her to
adhere to her determination to marry Ross,
but she declared that she loved Rees best,
and the outcome of the affair was that the
old man let her have her way, and came
with her to Sioux City and looked after tbe
procuring of the license and helped the
young couple to get settled in the home
Rees had provided.
A FARMER'S INNOCENCE.
It Takes Him Several Weeks to [Find
Out That He Lost SBOO.
Easton, Pa, Oct. 27.—John Reigel, a
farmer residing near Stockerton. was in
Easton to-day, and report®t at police head
quarters that during the Nazareth fair he
had been victimized out of SBOO.
He said that he hud met a man at the fair
wbo claimed to be a drover, and that he
was invited into a shed where, by a tea
prize package scheme, he won $1,200, but
the money was not given him because
he could not show that he
had a like sum in case
he should have lost Accordingly, he said,
he and the drover came to Easton, where
he drew 4800 out of the bank and returned
to the fair, where he again became in
terested iu the drawing scaeme, and with
the SBOO he was led to believe he had won
$1,200, which amount he was told he would
receive as a prize on the 16th inst. Reigel
failed, of course, to receive the amount,
and on Saturday last he told his son for the
first time.
The reason he did not make known the
fact before was because he expected to re
ceive the $1,200 prize. Riegel is about 65
years of age.
