On the find week of September, commencing

200 American clerical and la; .delegates In Lon

LOVBRS* WOES.
Twice Night of lb® Altar—A Bloom-
iMffton Bridegroom-Elopement Ex
traordinary.
A San Francisco maiden who sighs for
some one to shield her bos twice been
ba ked st tbe threshold of matrimony. Two
years ago sbe gave her hand to a wealthy
young lover, and the wedding day was
fixed. A week before tke proposed mar
riage the youth was taken to au asyiurn
for the insane. Tbe about to be bride
recovered from the shock and the disap
pointment. and at one of the Pacific coast
resorts last Jane accepted the attentions
of a bachelor of forty. This man of middle
a*e, whose heart Cupid’s darts had pierced,
was reputed to be a wealthy St Louis mer
chant. D C. Carey was his name, and
frequently daring moonlight walks Mr.
Carey would teli his Frisco dear of the
delightful heme to which the soon should
go. The young woman made all her prepa
rations for the wedding, her
father presentirg ber with a
magnificent trousseau, and indeed, until
he morning of the marriage day every
thing was lovely. Then it wa* learned that
tbe bridegroom had disappeared. Inquiry
developed the fact that he had taken his
baggage with him and another fact that he
bsd left bis board bill unpaid. Tbe young
woman sat weeping on tbe sauds of tbe
quiet arans the reporter who atumbkd
upon tbe romance hurried off to write
-ver it in bigletters: "Doomed to celibacy.’

The defendant was one of tbe
curates of Leamington par.sh and the
plaintiff, whose appropriate name waa

Many of the letters whicu p&sstd between

The bill to incorp jm’e the Cincinnati
aud Georgia railroad company came np as
th«|-pecial order in the senate Wednesday
The great interest in the bill and tbe gen
eral belief that a heavy fight would be made
against it, served to £ll the galleries, and
when the president's gavel descended at ten
dock there was an e.^er crowd of specta
tors ready to witness ibe expected strug
gle over tbe charter. *'cw matters of mi
nor importance served v? engage the senate
untilrnffrrpajt ten o'c: ~5k when the special
order was reached. When the president
announced the fac^ the senators a,xpqtred
concerned, but tha ^tilery w«s anxious.
Fhe bill was read the third time. The re
oort of the committee was favorable to its
passage. Mr. McDaniel, a senator whose
utterances are always &teaei to with the
greatest respect, arose and said:
"Mr. President, I desire to offer an amend
ment to the report of the committee.”
The amendment, which was an unusually
lengthy document of Its class, was read ven lbe fat *l night
from the secretary’s desk.
The amendment proposed to alter tbe
provisions of the bill which gave the com
pany power to condemn railroad track, so
as to provide that where it is necessary for
the company to pass over the track of other
corporations to reach its freight or the gen
eral passenger depot that the right shall
acquired by contract, lease or
purchase, aud in the event of
failure to do so may tender to any rail
road company owning The track sought to
be used an arbitration to determine the
uatureand extent of if*o rights and privi-
;ges necessary to b* ‘acquired with the
manner of exercUing v .he right and the
reasonable and just compensation to be
paid therefor, and on a 'failure of the arbi
tration to settle tbe matter for it to be
taken before the railroad commission.
Mr. McDaniel made a lengthy speech
tVur of hi-amendment He*aid that lie
was not opposed to th4chnrier but that he
was opposed to the clatfse which gave tbe
corporation the right tticondem * the track
of other corporations! He said that
the charter was incola pie te, in that it
made no provision for the settlement of
the difficulties which would grow out of
the condemuation of th^ tracks of the rail
roads. His speech was listened to with the
closest attention.
He wai replied to hV Mr. Guerry, who,
while not occupying a* much time as that
of Mr. McDaniel, was ®iU of strong points
which showed a canid, study of the sub
ject which he was disedkieg. He was forti
fied btliit.d stack of .lourt report*, from
which he read. passa^ iu support of his
claims that the cond«-p< nation of the track
would be just, reasouaUie and in accordance
with law.
General Toombs, ‘ who heard the
speech, pronounced! it the finest
peech that he had in the senate
within the past ten years.
When Mr. Guerry closed Mr McDaniel
spoke briefly, after which the prerinu3
question was called.
The question was npotx the adoption of
the amendment offered by Mr. McDaniel,
and which, if adopted, would have sent the
bill back to the house. The vote was as
follows:
Ajes—Means. Barksdale, Brown, Butt, Dan-
isrs .Hackett. Johnson. McDaniel, Mattox, Mc
Whorter, Mrldrim, Moseley, Payne, Price, Story,
Treadwell and Woodward—16.

Harrell. Hawes, Hicks,Jordan, King. Neal,Park*
ne'd. Smith of the 5th district, Smith of the 15th,
Smith of the 23J, Westbrook, Wilson, Winn—25.
So that the amendment was lest by a vote
of 25 against and 1G for it.
The question then was upon the report
of the committee which was favorable to
the bill. The report was agreed to and the
bill pat upon its passage. The vote was as
follows:
