Romantic Marriage of a Poor Minister to a
Wealthy Toronto Lady.
A New Brunswick, N. J., despatch says e -
A romantic atory has been disclosed in
connection with the sudden, marriage of
Rev. C. J. Wilson, of George'sRoad Baptist
Church, to Mrs. Emily F. Getty, of Toronto,
Canada, in ' New Brunswick, on Monday
evening, after a week's courtship. In an
interview, Mrs. Getty told the story of her
life and how she had met her husband
twenty years ago, refused his handand 'ac-
eepted another, and how the 'clergyman
meanwhile proposed to a second and /was
eccepted. About a year ago the life -part-
ners of both Mrs. Getty and Rev. Mr. Wil-
son died. ,
The romantic story leading lir to the
sequel was teld as follows : Toward the
close of the late war there appeared in the
city of Montreal, Canada, an aspiring
young clergyman whose genial nature soou
made for him a warm circle of friends.
Among the acquaintances •of those days
was the daughter of James Elliott, Major
of the Sixty -Fourth Regiment of the British
Army.
• He pleaded with her to take him in mar-
riage. But the • young lady. had a social
ambition, and the young man went his way.
A dashing young Southerner fell madly in
love with the fair Canadian girl with more,
success than the clergyman who was none
other than Rev. Mr. • Wilson. Through
many years of sunsnine and cloud he and
his Canadian girl, walked the path of life
together; then death broke the tie that
bound them. •
During the years that intervened between
the meeting of the Canadian girl and Rey
Mr. Wilson and the. meeting now being4
recorded be found and married a woman
whose virtue and many excellences of
character qualified her to be to hiin the
valuable assistant and loving wife that
she was found to be. But death had sun-
dered the ties that bound them lovingly
together, so that for the last year he had
been al ne.
Fortune now smiled again upon ,the
clergyman, 'and after a brief correspondence
he was permitted- •to meet a few days ago
in New Brunswick his "first love," the
handsome Canadian. The first fires burned
again, upon the heart's altar and again he
said, " Will you be mine ?" and she sweetly
answered "Yes." -
On Monday evening at the wedding the
bride was handsomely attired in the richest
of silks, while sparkling gems decorated her
ears fingers and dress. It is said that Mr.
and 'Mrs. Wilson will occupy the parsonage
of the George's Road Church. -
• Mrs. Wilson.has impressed all who have
met her as being a woman of cultivation
and-ffire social qualities. She is the Presi-
dent of the St. Luke's Branch Women's
Auxiliary, Toronto, Canada. Mrs. Wilson
is a woman of.wealth and is able to provide
herself and spouse with every luitury.

• Ms Life Given in Vain.
A Berlin cable says': .Lieut. Kebnitz lost
his life yesterday at Frankfort -on -Oder,
while attempting to save that of workman
who had fallen into the river. The officer,
seeing the man's danger, sprang into the
river and swam to his aid. He Was ham-
pered by the weight of his clothing and also
by the struggles of the vvotkman, who
clasped his arms around his would-be
rescuer's neck and could hot be induced to
release his drip, The result was that after
a brave struggle the lieutenant became ex-
hausted, and before help arrived from the
shore both men were drewned.

NEW WEAPON OF DIERDER,
Brown's New Segmental Wire Gun Sub -
milted to a Severe Test.
Ring in the- Wa-11-.
a 8HE WAS STEANEfLED WITH Hat 13TOOKING
When the hearing was ref -Med to -day
Coleraine was in a state of the wildest ex-
citement and a number of extra constables
were on duty. Mrs. Montagu was placed
in the dock. The first witness called was
Miss Dosell, the governess. She repeated
the evidencea she had given before the
coroner's jury; to the effect that the little
girl had committed some misbehavior for
which she, the governess, had placed her in
a bare dark room. She afterwards in-
formed Mrs. Montague of what she had
done, whereupon the latter, who WWI
evidently much incensed at her daughter's
action, went to the room and tied the little
girl's,arms behind her back with a stocking.
She then tied her up with a cord to a ring
in the wall and h. ft her. At the expiration
of four hours, m hen Mrs. Montague went to
the room to releaee the child, she found that
the stocking in- ine unaccountable manner
had slipped up amend the child's neck and
she had been strat ;led to death. After the
hearing of further evidence Mrs. Montagne
was found guilty of manslaughter. The
trial of Mrs. Mord gue 6n theetecond count,
cruelty to children, was thentlfoceened with.
A Belfast cable says: After the convic-
tion of Mrs. Moatagu for manslaughter,
the hearing of the second count, charging
her with cruelty to children was proceeded
with. The first witness -called was Mize
'Wellaee, who had formerly been in the em-
ploy of Mts. Montagu as a governess for her
children. She testified that Walter Mon-
tagu, the 4 -year-old son of the defendant,
was upon one occasion tied to a tree in the
morning and allowed to remain until late in
the afternoon. His dinner was taken from
the house and put on tlie grass before him.
On another occasion Miss Wallace missed
the boy from his usual place in the house,
and she saw nothing of him for eight days.
When she saw him again the back of his
hands were puffed up, and looked as though
the blood had stagnated. He had bruises
on his face and neck.
Mrs. James formerly a nurse in the Mon-
tagu househol'el, testified that she had peep
Gilbert Montagu, 5 years old, with the
marks of a cord around his elbows andwith
pieces of flesh cut out of his toes. • Austin
Montagu, another son of the accused, had
also been locked in the dark room. Mrs.
Montagu had sa,R1 to her that this was her
way of punishing her children. She did it
to save their souls; she did not mind their '
bodies.
Mrs. Montagu was attired in deep mourn-
ing, and a heavy veil concealed her *Ice. •
Her husband and brother eat beside her
through the whole proceedings.
The nurse, Mrs. James, deposed that she
once saw the amused dragging her son
Austin along the corridor his feet, his
head trailing along the ground. This testis '
mony caused a sensation.
A housemaid named Campbell deposed
that she saw Gilbert • Montagu stripped
naked and beaten with a scourge until his
whole body was lacerated ; that he was
then thrust into a dark closet, where he
lay moaning all night, and that she was
unable to sleep on account of the moaning,
out of the closet. -

Mrs. Montagu was committed for trial on
the second charge.
A Budeboro', Pa., despatch says': A test
of the Brown segmental tube wire gun,
made here on Friday, produced a pressure
of more than fifty-three thousand pounds to
the square inch in the cylinder made to
represent the powder chamber of the gun,
and the cylinder not only withstood this
enormous strain, but afterwards showednot
the slightest trace of having been subjeated
to it. The lining tube, the breech plug,
the segments, the wire, winding and the
gas checks were entirely uninjured, and
careful start gauging showed there
was no enlargement of •the bore
whatever. The test was made with a
cylinder sixteen inchee long, having a
diameter inside of five inches and an outeide
diameter of fifteen inches. The five -inch
walla were composed of a thin lining tube,
twelve . segments three inches thick, and
about two incbes of wire wound in thirtyrone
layers. The cross section of the wire was
one-seventh of an inch square. As the re-
sult of this experiment the strength of the
Brown system of wire gun manufacture has
been definitely settled. There was no de-
fect found in the cylinder. The five -inch
gun now under construction is nearly ready
to be assembled and wound. It will be
finished and fired in May. -As it will have
a length of 44 calibres and can be safely
given a chamber pressure of 25 tons per
square inch, an initial velocity of at least
2,700 feet a second is expected.
STREET CAR STRIKE RIOTS.
-7--
Indianapolis the Scene of Much Disorder—
Clubs Trumps.
An Indianapolis despatch says: No less
than a dozen riots took place here since yee-
tenray morning at 6 o'clock. At an early
hour and by pre -arrangement with the
street car company Mayor Sullivan ordered
out the police to assist in the running of
the cars. The strikers and sympathizers
fought every inch of the ground, and at 7
o'clock three cars had been Overturned in
the gutters. By 8 deock the mobs on the
different streets numbered fully 10,000 men,
and business generally was interrupted by
the violent proceedings. Nearly 50 arrests
were made,and a dozen cars were injured by
stones. The police force is composed only
of 100 men, and is almost overcome, and
would be utterly,defeated in caseoha battle.
So far clubs have. been the only weapons
used, but the fever of the mob is increasing'
and a bloody encounter is probable.
Last night the Board of Public Safety 'de-
cided to swear in 250 special officerp for ser-
vice on Monday, and Mayor Sullivan
issued a prodlamation closing all saloone
until the strike is over.

trousers smaller.
In over garments the fly -front overcoat
reaching to or below the knees will be a
leader.
While the bob -tail Covert " will not be
in it " with the fine trade to any great
extent.
In fabrics there is quite a tendency to
again introduce finea light -weight worsteds.
And grey twills will be quite, freely used
for overcoats.
The long -tail frock, however, will be
mostly made of half -rough goods, eommonly
known as half -vicunas.
Gray will be a predominating featutre of
the season's colorings, •
While tans will still be freely cut in some
sections. •
The finish of garments will be severely
plain, the sirgle narrow stitched edge on
coats beingthe favorite.
The breaat-pocket will, with some en-
ceptions, be finished with a welt, the flap
having "run to seed" in the ready. made
trade.
Vests will be cut V-shaped ; the " open-
ing " in this respect cannot be to pro-
nounced.
Imitation cub's will, as a rule, be the fin-
ish for sleeves, though the real, two or
three buttoned variety will be a choice

Simnel Butler is lecturing in England •on

He believes that the Iliad was written by a,

for his belief are not complimentary to the
