EXD OF A LOVE AFFAIR.
The Sweetheart of Bachelor to
Marry lli* Hiv.-il.
Waycross, Ga., May 23.—The sweet
heart of the bachelor referred to in the
Morning News some time ago is soon to
marry the bachelor's rival, a grass wid
ower. who can boast of being the father
of three nearly grown children.
It will be the happy culmination of an
affair which at one time this year came
near bringing about a tragedy. The
young lady In the case Is good-looking.
The w idower and the bachelor referred to
have been rivals for her 10%-e for several
months, and it appears that the former
has become successful. This state of af
fairs was a severe blow to the old bach
elor, whose love was of an Idolizing char
acter.
But, strange to say, the bachelor is se
rene about the approaching wedding of
his sweetheart to his rival, and it is whis
pered about that he is to be the groom's
best man. The nuptials will be celebrated
at an early date.
CATCHINGS’ COXVEIISIOX.
The Mlsalszlppl ('ongrcsMninu Now
Eulogizes C'levelnnd.
From the New York Sun.
Washington, May 16.—The eulogy of
President Cleveland delivered a few days
ago by Representative Catchings, of Mis
sissippi, while addressing hl3 constituents
on the money question, is regarded in
Washington as evidence of the most re
markable political conversion that lias
taken place in recent years. Mr. Catch
ings, in the past two congresses, was
Speaker Crisp s lieutenant and mouthpiece
on the floor of the House, having been
appointed as the ranking democrat of the
committee on rules at the opening of the
Fifty-second congress. He became a
member of the House of Representatives
ten years ago, In the tirst year of President
Cleveland’s term. During those ten years
there has been no more outspoken oppo
nent of Grover Cleveland in Washington
than Representative Thomas C. Catchings,
of Mississippi, and the frankness with
which he now eulogizes the man whom
he so long criticised is characteristic. In
Washington Mr. Catchings has enjoyed a
reputation for fairness and honest meth
ods beyond what is usually accorded in
those who are obliged to fight partisan
battles on the floor of the House. It was
his duty to report and ehampion many
propositions from the committee on rules
that were denounced by the republicans
as arbitrary and unfair, hut individually
he had the respect of members of both
sides of the House. That he should now
become so enthusiastic in support of the
anti-silver policy of the administration as
to praise the President, and picture him
standing like a rock against the free sil
ver wave, and add, moreover, a panegyric
of Grover Cleveland’s general virtues, is
what causes surprise to those who know
him.
At Chicago, in 1592, the men who were
attempting to stampede the delegates and
the convention in behalf of the renomina
tlon of Cleveland found no foe more dith
cuit to fight than Representative Catch
ings of Mississippi, He was actively at
work at the headquarters of every dele-

cation, at first In the interest of David
B. Hill, and at ihe last moment, when
the nomination of the New York man
was seen to be impossible, for “any man
to beat Cleveland.” At the “round-up"
of the Hill forces in the rooms of the New
York delegation at the Auditorium hotel
the night before the convention, when it
was announced that enough votes had
been pledged to nominate Mill the next
day. Representative thatchings was th**
most prominent southern anti-Cleveland
man present. The solid vote of the Mis
sissippi delegation was the keystone of
the southern Hill arch. Mr. Catehings
had been for several day* before the most
conspicuous southern man of nationil
reputation actively at work for Hill, and
*he burden of his arguriient always was
that Hill was the best man to beat Cleve
land with. In the hotel corridors, the
rooms of the various delegations, in pri
vate conferences, and in public newspaper
interviews Mr. Catchings criticised (dro
ver ( leveland, and emphatically and pic
turesquely stated $ he reason whv he ought
not to receive the support of a democratic
convention.
When it was found that Hill could not b
nominated, Mr. Catchings became an ad
vocate of the nomination of William R
Morrison, and has many time* since told
bis friends that Cleveland could have been
beaten and the Illinois man nominated hut
for the treachery of one man—-Senator Ar
thur P. Gorman of Maryland. The row that
took place between the Maryland senator
and the Mississippi congressman in the
Palmer House although it was never made
public, was one of the most sensational in
cidents of the convention, and resulted in
an estrangement of the two men so com
plete that Mr. Catchings lias ever since re
fused to speak to Mr. Gorman or attend a
democratic conference at which he was
present. Lust summer, when the long
tight between the President, the Senate,
and the House of Representatives over the
tariff bill was ended by the “surrender" of
the House conferees to the senators, whom
Cleveland had denounc' and as corrupt. Mr.
Catchings declined to Join Speaker Crisp
and Senator Gorman In consultation, for
the sole reason that he refused outright to
have any sort cf conference with the man
who, he said, betrayed him at Chicago in
1892.
The bitter tariff deadlock was brought to
a close by the action of Speaker Crisp and
Senator Gorman, who met in the room of
the Senate comniittc>e on appropriations on
the Saturday morning before tlte Monday
when the Senate bill was passed’l>y lit*'
House, without the ' dotting of an 1 or the
crossing if a t." The terms of the surren
der were then and there arranged by
Speaker Crisp and Senator Gorman, and
carried out will.out the slightest change.
Mr. Catchings was invited i>v the Si'euker
to be present, but refused to have any
dealings with Mr. Gorman. It was to Mr.
Catchings, however, that President Cleve
land addiessed the letter of Aug. 27, IS9I.
stating his reasons for allowing the tariff
hill to become a law without his signature.
When ask-d later for an explanation of
his hostility to the Maryland senator, Mr.
Catchings. without the slightest reserva
tion. told the story of what he terms (Gor
man's betrayal of the andi-Cleveland men
at Chicago in 1892. According to that storv
the Hill men, or a large portion of them,
including the delegations from Missis
sippi and other states In the south, de
cided to go at the last moment for William
R. Morrison. They depended largely up
on Senator (Gorman's support for the suc
cess of the movement. He solemnly agreed
to join the Morrison boom, and its leaders,
including Mr. Catchings, felt confident
thait the convention, when it saw that
Hill could win, would flock to the Morri
son standard. At the very last moment
Mr. Catchings heard that (Gorman had de
serted them. He had mistrusted him all
along, and was white with anger when he
received the Information that confirmed
his fears. He went to the rooms of the
Maryland senator In the Palmer house
and was told that Mr. Gorman was ouit.
He repeated his visit, only to receive the
same answer. He called again, and was
told that Mr. Gorman was not well; that
he was in bed and could not be seen. Mr.
Caitchings then became more angry than
ever, and deti rmined to see Senator Gor
man even if it should be necessary to call
the iKdice. He went to the door of Mr.
Gorman’s room, knocked loudly, and re 7
celving no response, |>ounded, and then
kicked the door, shouting to whoever was
within that if It was not opened he would
break it down. Thereupon the door was
opened, and Mr. Catchings entered and
found Senator Gorman fully dressed and
in his usual good health. Going up to him
Mr. Catchings compelled the senator to
listen while he denounced him as a traitor
who had fooled the Hill and Morrison
men. and charged him with having been
from the start an ally of William C. Wli4t
ney, who was Grover Cleveland's politi
cal manager. Then, after telling Mr. Gor
man that he should, on every possible oc
casion denounce him to all democrats as
a traitor, Mr. Catchings left the room, and
has never since that time spoken to Mr.
Gorman or had any communication with
him.
In winning over Thomas C. Catchings
to his support, therefore. President Cleve
land has added to his force an Implacable
enemy of the one man in the democratic
party for whom he had the greatest ha
tred and fear.

A Cl Idol 8 SETTLEMENT.
Hence min ut* of llesslnn Prisoners of
tlie llevoliitlon.
From the New York Evening Post.
Charlottesville, Va.—About eight miles
from tills city, surrounded on all sides by
a etrele of low but steep and rugged moun
tains, may be seen faint traces of what
was once a prisoner's barrack of the rev
olutionary war. When Gen. Hurgoyne sur
rendered at Saratoga, the commanders of
the eontlnenetal army were greatly at a
loss to know what to do with the large
number of Hessian prisoners thrown upon
their hands. These men were finally sent
to what was then the remote town of
Charlqltenville, on the border of civiliza
tion, where it was thought the situation
and the unsettled condition of the country
would prevent any attempted escape and
thus render unnecessary a strong guard.
# The prisoners remained quietly at their
quarters during the remainder of the war,
and earn" to lie looked upon more as set
tlers than as prisoners. The Hessians evi
dently preferred their ljfe In Virginia to
fighting, for they not only made no attempt
at escape, but, after the close of the war,
were so pleased with the situation that
they determined to settle there permanent
ly, and thus was formed the settlement
which Is the subject of this sketch.
In the hundred years which have elapsed
since the founding of this curious colony,
the descendants of the founders have mix
ed hut little with the surrounding popula
tion. and to-day they are easily recognized
by the peculiarity of their manner and dia
lect. Charlottesville Ilea at the foot of the
Blue Ridge mountains, surrounded by a
circle of low hills, which eztend In ail di
rections and divide the country into nat
ural divisions, thus aiding In maintaining
the unlit of the colony.
The seclusion In which the colony has
kept Itself has not been beneflctol to th*
character of the people, and they are ig
norant and uneducated far beyond the
average Virginia farmer. They possess,
however, a native shrewdness which. In
part, supplies the place of education, and
keeps them In a fairly prosperous con
dition. They are of a peaceable disposi
tion. save for an occasional feud between
themselves—a survival, perhaps, of their;
German love of fighting.
One noticeable feature is the peculiar
sensitiveness of their disposition, which
Is In marked contrast with their rough
manner of life. In this respect they ars
almost childlike, and they will assume an
Injured air on the slightest pretext.
The Young Men’s Christian Association
of the University of Virginia supports sev
eral mission Sunday schools, taught by
students of the university, whose schol
ars consist almost entirely of these Ger
mans. There Is great need for such work,
for their ideas of religion are most primi
tive, and church-going Is rarely prac
ticed. Old men and boys sit together In
one doss and listen with eagerness to tha
talks of the students—such as might be
given to a class of young boys in one of
our city Sunday schools.
The people are less exclusive than for
merly. and are thus rapidly losing their
marked peculiarities. But the colony still
retains many curious features, and re
mains one of the Interesting reminders of
revolutionary times.

Guthrie, O. TANARUS., May 23.—Settlers arriv

In the sands. Four persons were drowned.

William Peters, colored, was arrested by
l.leut, Reilly last night. Waters has been
robbing George Ebberwein’s place of soda
water bottles, taking four dozen at a time
and disposing of them to a grocer In the
neighborhood.
A flint Which Is finite Effective.
From the New York Tribune.
The night clerk In any big newspaper
office has his hands full of work, but time
and time again is bothered by the tramp
who wandts In to get a warming. Os
tensibly the visitors look over the file to
search with advertisements, but with
bowed heads soon fall to sleep. The true
tramp can go to Bleep standing as long as
the surroundings are warm.
A night clerk In a newspaper office has
discovered a sure way of ousting these
undesirable denizens without force. He
keeps g small collection of the electric
ligiu lamps that have become useless. He
wai's until the tramp is dreaming his
soundest, and then throws one of thesa
Innocent looking globes at his feet. There
is i'it awful explosion. The tramp looks
around in wonderment and flight. The
imperturbable clerk Is hard at his books
entering the last ads. sent In, and the
tramp “scoots," thankful to have escaped
some greater danger.
