CANADIAN MARRIED MAN FROM
DETROIT WEDS A MICHIGAN GIRL. ’’
A
Detroit, April 2E— Last August
David A- Davis, a carpenter, went
from Detroit to Flint to aot in tba
capacity of boss carpenter at the
now preabyterian church in course of
erection .at that place. Shortly after
"his arrival he. began "paying atten-
t;on to a young lady named Mary
Moore, representing himself as an,
unmarried man. Tho acquaintance
, between the couple ripened into Ipve,
and about a month ago a clandestine
trip WAa made «to East 'Saginaw,
where they .were united in marriage,
They returned to Flint, ffiut nothing
was said to the girl’s parents aboqt
the matrimonial venture until ten
days ago, when the secret was divul
ged. Mr, arid’Mrs,-Moore were sotne-^;
what surprised on learning that they
bad. loaf a daugh ter and gained a sbri,
but as nothing . derogatory wa'si^
known concerning Davis they accep
ted thevinevitable' and Davis- was
admitted to tbesfamilv circle. The
newly wedded pair made prepara
tions fora wedding trip, and on
Wednesday night, embarked on a
Chicago and Grand Trunk train,
presumably -bound -for Chicago,
.since which time^nothing has been
heard of them. On Tuesday the
- proprietor-of the hotel at Flint, at
which Davis boarded, received a let
ter from N. J. Rogers, a carpemer.
who lives at 5$5" Twenty-third
street, in, this city, stating that
Davis'" 'ffidestrdauglTfer™was" cleail,'” '
,and asking the hotel man to acquitit
Miss Mqore- and her parents of
Davis’ true character.-^ This was
done, and zwhen the news was bros
keif to the anxious parents it com
pletely prostrated them.
Mrs. Davis has-gone to Flint to
explain matters to. the Moore family,
reporter that Iler father- had not
been in Detroit" since January last,
when he^was sept for on account of
the illness of Mrs. Davis. -While
here he borrowed his .wife’# gold
watch and carried; it. off' when he
went bapk to Flint. Since then lie
has sentfhis wife very little money,
something like $35, with which she
managed to. support hetself and four
children. Wednesday , .week, Mrs.
Davis received a, letter from her
husband. in which he stated that
whe.n Ire came Hack to Detroit he
would remain here permanently.
On-Monday a telegram was sent to
Flint informing him of the death' of
His. daughter,.but no reply was, re
ceived. until Tuesday,..when Mrs.
Davis gof a letter from him stating
that “he Imd'severed .his coTinectibirr
with her ” forever,' and that hence
forth she might consider him dead.”
Tlie'poor woman was nearly heart-
brokeu-aiready, a.nd this unlooked
for'addition was a terrible blow.
She communicated with the Moore
family at' Flint, and yesterday went
to that place to sea what could’ be
done in the matter.

Lians and were married at Listowel,

came to Detroit-, where they have-

A Woman 'at a Horse Sale.
“The women, bless ’their little
hearts,"-said Mr. Drew, “the women
can be just as sharp at a trade as
’ the men. One winter I went dut’in
the country to buy a horse. I found
it ail right, but all the time I Was
making w trade with th,o. man who
owned it his wife 'kept raising an
awful fuss about selling ir. at the
figure I offered. If the horse was
sold, she said, how would tlm poor
children get to school, she would
like to know j,they wouldn’t have
the horse to carry them, and it was
ton far to walk. Finally,-however,
we made a trade, arid X hitched the
horse into a sleigh to drive,home.
I jumped into the sleigh, but the
horse wouldn't start, I touched
him with the whip, but bo .merely

quiring gaze upon me, I touched
him again, with the same result,
Than I„hit him a little harder, and

thought I was going up in a ballooti.
And when he struck tlm ground lie
started off at a regular Maud S gait.
The fact was, you see, that the horse
had never been hitched single before
in bis life* And there was that wo-

was crushing the farmers of the

high freight rates as *to drive the

of Dakota and Minnesota have been

HOUSE.AGENTS. ...
The troubles of rhouse-hunting jn
the city are welt exemplified by the
following case :—Six weeks^ ago a
widow lady, armed with the ads

sallied forth upon her mission,
Her pj.ah was to first inspeot a house
?wh r<ffi~"seeib e’d 1 i k ely to suit1, And
then look up the-agent.-’ The latter
would generally be found ‘sitting at
Blm receipt of custom? ‘I -called
about that house, J^o, —‘Are
you ft widow V ‘Yes? , Don’t want
widows, Good morning? Arid the
agent would turn to his books. In
several other, places tho lady res
ceived the same answerSho 'des
i ...
termined to enquiro the reason for
■tirnrj antipathy to willows, ‘Doii’t
.want widows? the next agent curtly
. observed',- ‘Why?’ ‘Why?. Be
cause ‘they hover pay any. rent?
‘But I can give you any security
you require, and produce'the certi*
fieate of my last landlord.’ ‘Doesn’t
matter. We’ve determined to have
nothing more to do' with them.
We’ve always lost money by them,
They ftire not to “be relied upon.L
Another Hgeiit took different ground
against widows, " ‘Yon see,, they
are stf -tinsftiisfactory, You cannot
talk to them ns you can to a man.
They don’t understand business, and
they- won’t try to understand it,
Apart from the question of rent, we
don’t wish to have -anything to do
with them? Tho lady has been out al

Tho- tract involved in the boun*
dary dispute1 lies mainly between,
the two streams’ called the Heri-
Rud, or river of Herat, and the
Murghab, or rivef of Merv, each
named from the chief cities On its
banka. Both flow in courses of
general paralleliBra from the moun
tains of Afghanistan to the west
ward and north ward, until lost in
the sands of the Hyrkanian Steppe
or Kliivan desert. The Heri-Jlud
rises in the highlands of Hazara,
and for many miles runs nearly due
west' between the ranges of the
Safeyd-Koh, or BJack brllB, both-
western extensions of the great Hin
doo^ Koosh. Soon after passing:
Herat it bends to the northeast
ward, and near Kushan-Stile—?
within the Afghan boundary by al!
the maps—to the ; northward,
lfrom the latter point it forms the
eastern limit‘ of Ijgrsia to Sarakhs,
where it sinks into .the earth', to re
appear further on under a changed,,
name, the Tejend, by which it is
known until its waters are finally
a.bsprbed in a desert marsh far to
the north.
The Murghab lias its source in

An Afghan putpost was pushed
across the border several months
ago on account of Russian move
ments in the Murghao yalley, one
of which brought the troops of the

travellers, from Abbotdown, always
mentioned this plane as belonging
lo the Khanate of Khiva, now un
der Russian domination.

Weeks ago, his enearapment ’with an

place of meeting fur the joint coin*
mission in November last, where
Sir Peter has since Waited in vain

fort is here, protected in part by the
waters of the. Murghab flowing
