INAHURRY FOR A HUSBAND.
The Queer Matrimonial Muddle
Which an Advertisement Caused—
A Bad Pain to Follow,
~ LoumsvitLe, August 13.-—Thel
disastrous results of an ancient
maiden’s hastening to marry the
first man that comes along is illus
trated foreibly in the case of Miss
Sallie Murray, a reputable lady of
No. 700 West Jefterson street, who
married William Bell, alias Read,
some time ago.
Miss Murray boarded with Mrs
Cain at No. 624 West Walnut
street last spring, and one day at
the table one of the boarders jok
inzly suggested to her that she ought
to get married, and when she in
quired how she would be able to
find a man ot her choice, he said
“advertise,” The gentleman said
a friend of his was running a pa
per called the Matrimonial News,
and if she would will so, he would
write her an advertisement and
give her a good send-oft in the
matrimonial agency. The sugges
tion was carried out, the adver
tisement inserted, and in.due time
Miss Murry received two apprica
tions for matrimony, one from a
biped in St. Louis and the other
from an individual in Virgania, the
applicaticns describing their hab
its, personal appearance in circum
stauces. The lady submitted to
her gentleman friend both applica
tions and he suggested that the St,
Louis man was the best catch, Miss
Murray exchanged photographs
with the St. Louis man, who gave
his name as William Read, and in
time arriving from St. Louis, one
night he made his appearance at
Mrs, Cain’s house, at No. 624
West Walnut street, where she
was then stopping.
In a day Miss Murray was made
Mrs. Read, the boarders in the
household all joining in the wed
ding to make it as pleasant as pos
sible.
Read was an artistic painter, he
said, and every day went forth
with his working clothes and lunch,
and returned in the evening for
supper. Soon he became tired of
work here, and went to St. Louis,
where he said he could obtain more
lucrative employment. It now
transpires that he did not work a
a day while here, and was hood.
winking his wife and the boarding
house keeper during his brief stay.
Read promised to send for his
wife and also promised to send her
money, bit the money never came,
and Mrs. Read wasleft on the
charity of Mrs. Cain for her board.
A few days® ago Mrs. Read left.
Mrs. Cain's place very mysteriously,
anl come despondent and done
herself violencs, but such was not
the case. She had evidently gone
over to St. Louis to ascertain why
her newly made hushand was not
corresponding with her. Here
she found that Read’s proper name
was Bell, and that he probably had
two or three other wives living.
In the first place Bell, alias
Read, had run away trom Eus
gland with another man's wife,
and this man had come all the
way from England to kill the vil
lian, but only gave hima good
whipping.
Mrs. Read or Mrs, Murray has
returaed home, and of caurse will
imme liately apply for a divoree.
The last heard from Read he was
making for Chicago, and will no
doubt be able to “‘gull” some other
lndy in scarch of a husband, Mrs.
Murray is a member of a very good
fanily, and her friends feel the
decpest sympathy for her:
A Wonderful Armless Man,
Recently there died at Potsdam,
New York, a wonderful man ; says
the August. Chronicle. An aceis
dent deprived him of both arwms,
which were amputated at the
shoulder. He earned a living by
using his feet and mouth instead
of his arms.
Weare told that he owned a
horse, of which he took the entire
care, harnessed it, fastened and
unfastened the buckles with his
teeth and drove with reins tied
around his shoulders.
Being in need of a wagon, he
bought wheels and axels and built
a box buggy compleie and painted
it. He weut to the barn one win
ter day and built a cow stable,
sawing the timber with his feet,
and with the hammer in one too
and holding the nail with the other,
he nailed the boards on as well as
most mew could do with their
hands. Ie dug a well twelve feet
deep on a farm iu the town and
stoned it himself. He could move
away hay by holding the fork un
der his chin and letting it rest
against his shoulder. He could
pick up potatoes in the field as fast
as a man could dig them. He
would dress himself, get his meals,
write his letters, and in fact do al
most anything that any man with
two hands could do.
Many a man with all of his phys
ical faculties unimpared mourns
because he cannot get along, and
yet this armless brother made him.
self indepeadant without arms or
bands. He was like the crimson
hero, who, when his lower limbs
was shot away wrote to the woman
he was engaged to marry releasing
her. She answered : ,I will mar
ry you if you have enough body
remaining to contain your noble
soul.”
Something Good in Him.
‘John,” said a wife to her hus
band, *l’ve heard say that there is
something goor in everybody, but
I declare that boy of ours, it seems
to me, has positively not a good
thing in him. He is the worst
boy I ever saw.’
‘You are mistaken, Maria. That
boy certainly has something good
in him, for I just saw him steal a
jar of your best preserves, and he
has esten over half of them now.
You must admit that he has that
muel. good in him, or else ac
knowledge that your preserves are
no good.’—[Panville Breeze.
The Dean Bill. |
An opportunity will soon be aft’
forded to see what the Legislature
thinks of the Dean bill which pro
vides for the sale of the Western
and Atlantic Railroad. The im
pression is that the sentiment.
among the people and in the Leg
islature in favor of selling ihe road
is growing stronger. The 'moréJ
‘the matter is considered the strong
er appear the reasons for its sale
As long as the State ownst,be\jf‘}
there will be no Jeaislution that
will tend to decrease the value of’
that property, even though such 1
legislation would benefit a great
many people and assist in the des
veloprient of a verp large section
of the State, {
Assuming that the property has
been honest'y managed in the past, |
what assurance is there that will
continue to be so managed? If the
road is leased for another term of
twenty years its value at the end
of that term may be greatly impair
ed. The management of it may
be wholly differe. t from what it
has been, and it may come - back
iuto the possession ot the State a
complete wreck. :
Who can tell what political
changes will occur in the State
within the next twoanty years, or
what kind of men will control the
State’s affairs? While the proba<
bilities are that honest and patriot
ic men will be chosen to fill the
places of honor there is a chunce
that demagogues and tricksters will
get into power and rob the State,
as has beez the ease inother States.
There is no doubt that the road
can now be sold for all that it is
worth and all that it is likely to be
worth. What its approximate
value is can easlly be obtained
from experts. The Dean bill pro
videz that it shall not he sold for
less than $8,450,500. It may be
worth a great deal more than that.
If it is offercd for sele there will be
bidders for it, and they wilt be will
ing to pay ite full value for it.
About the ouly argument that
is advanced against its sale that
finds a lodgment in the publie
mind isthat the school * fund will
suffer a serious loss. Why should
it The money thatis obtained
for the road will be'used to pay the
State’s beads, and the money that
is now paid out for intcrest on the
bonds can he used for echool pur-~
poses—or so muchk of it as it may
be deemed wise to use for that pur
pose. Indeed, the State will be
in a better poeition to assist the
public sehools if the road is sold
than if is now. There need be no
fear that if the debtis paid the
taxes will be so reduced that there
will be nothing for the schools.
The common school system has a
warm place in the affections of the
people and they would not consent
to give up.
We do not undertake to say
that the Dean bill cannot be im
proved, When it is considered it
may appear that it is taulty in
many respects. Weapprove, how
ever, of its purpose, because we
think that the best thing that
can be done with the road, for the
good of the State, is to sell it.
