Inaugural Address of John F.
Liartranft.
Gentleman of The Senate and House
o Representativez and Fellow Citi
zens: Permit me, through you, to
tender my, heartfelt thanks to the
people of the Commonwealth for their
partiality in selecting me as the chief
magistrate. In obedience to
,law I
ha'v.e appeared before You to pledge
my fidelity to the constitution. Its
obligations and the responsibilities it
imposes are, I hope, fully realized.
I n the administration of public affairs
it k my earnest prayer that I may
be guided by Divine wisdom, and
that all my actions may reflect the
p !ople's will.
LIES NI - RW OF OUR FINA
My predecessor presented inbis
annual message his recommendations
anti much valuable information, so
fully and so well, that it appears titi
nece-,sary to enter into details. My
views are in accord with the general
policy of the State administration
for the past few years, although I
believe some changes might be for
the public good, and to these I shall
briefly allude. Having been closely
connected with the finances of the
State since Fts66. I speak knowing
ly when I say the revenues have been
_faithfully collected; extravagant ap
propriations have been avoided, tax
ation has been equalized by the re
peal of the most burdensome taxes,
and by strict economy and good man
agement the public debt has been
largely reduced. The policy of pay
ing off the entire indebtedness of the
State is, I; believe fully endorsed by
the taxpayers, and it shall be my aim
to adhere to that policy. The public
debt, however, decreasing. white the
revenues are increasing, it occurs to
one that a further reducticn of the
latter should be made during thecur
relit session.
THE RE.ImOURCES OF OUR STATE.
The increase in the value of our
real estate and the product of our
tnannfactures, and steady develop-
.
_lllOl of our resources, and the ex-
-laqsion of our railway system is rap
' idly'ehriching our ileopie. If we
measure the aggregate of our wealth
unit-its growth upon the basis of our
late census, we can readily under
stand. how a lighter tax imposed up
on the present taxed property xviii
meet all air necessities in the future,
provide tfn ample fund for the liqui
dation of our debt, and toevive a de
cided impulse to the useful enterprise
thus relieved. I sincerely trust,
however, that in any attempt to les
sen the burdens of taxation, the Leg
. islatu re will exercise a wise decretion,
i„ and properly discriminate in favor
of our industrial interests. In every
part of this Commonwealth are found
rich deposits of minerals. To make
them available and productivesbould
be our earnest aim, and shall receive
a large share of my attention. Itcan
alone be done by the intelligent em
ployment of labok'and capital. This
it a subject of immense interest, and
can best be served by first provichng
tne highest possible knowledge of
the character and locality of the mast
valuable minerals. Labor can be
made inviting by making it remu
nerative. Its remuneration must de-

may sat committed to our rep

ever legislation will best serve, this

Money will always seek the highest
rates, the security being the same,
and 'for that reason it now gravitates
to neighboring States where the legal
rates are higher than our own. If
we zannot remove the restriction and
make money as free as any other
commodity, at least let us permit the
same rate as allowed by other States,
and thereby retain it within our own
borders.

nient of our educationalsystem. But
while the doors of our schools are
opened wide to every one, it is sad to
think that there are 7:,,900 children

parents or otherwise, to attend and
receive the hlessed privileges of these
This is a matter of grave
import nud exacts of us all, people
mid Legislature alike, earnest and
thoughtful consideration.
Tim ORPHANS OF TILE W A It
In this connection, let me - say a
word in regard to the subject that
has often engaged our thoughts, and
to which I invoke the attention of
our law makers. No part of on
system of education has received sor
universal commendation as that
which is embraced in the circle of in
struction of those who were orphaned
by the causualties of war. The help
less condition of these little ones
touchingly appealed to the hearts of
our peoole, and the response was the
establishmentof the orphan schools
that are now the pride of our State.
But in rescuing these children from
destruction and providing for their
education until they have attained
the age of sixteen years, have we till
ed tlh. measure of our duty to them?
Thrown mkt into the world to do
battle with life's trials at an age pe
culiarly dangerous to youth, does not
common humanity.require that the
State should maintain its guardian
ship to thesechildren until their hub-
its are somewhat settled, and they
have acquired the means to earn their
oWn livelihood? •The establishment
of industrial schools, wherein useful
trades may be taught,seems to prom
es the easiest and best solution of this
problem.
rl' ,C.i TIO\C ABOUT THE MILITIA
It is highly important that in
times of insurrection mid riot there
should be at command a good and
sufficient force to assist the civil pow
ers to protect property and to main
tain its authority. To create such a
force it seems absolutely necessary
that the State must extend its aid in a
more substantial way to those who
enlist in her service. The fine for the
non-performance of the militia duty
are obnoxious to many of our best
citizens, and yield at best but slender
revenue, and that, t00,,0n a wrong
basis. fur property and not the indi-
Vidual should be taxed. The mili
tary should he well distributed
through the State,and the number of
companies limited and within tne
limit to make them efficient, every
company accepted, when found to be
up to the proper standard-of numb
ers, and discipline, should receive
from the public treausury at least
S-100 per annum.
FIDE AND LIFE INEUTDANCE
The fire and life insurance com
lanies are trying to seeure uninform
egislation in ail the States, and the
States having a large home interest
in the insurance have been the first
to adopt that principle. To impose
heavy fees and taxes upon insurance
companies incorporated in other
state; and doing business in this re
acts upon the home companies by
meson of the reciprocal laws of those
States. If it is deemed desirable to
protect and foster the home insur
ance interests, already too long ,neg
lected, let uniform laws be enacted.
To me it seems this interest is of suf

THE CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION.
The neccessity for immediate ac
tion on the part of our people to in-
sure the success of the C.Vntennial ex
ibition must be realized by every
thinking man. Its failure will be to
our lasting shame, its success re
dound to the honor and permanent

and enterprise. It certainly is the lin
perat lye duty of every citizen who
loves his State to lend his counten
ance and support to thisgreat exhibi
tion. The dignity and good name
of the Commonwealth aro at stake.
Let us not forget these by a lack of
public spirit or mistaken economy.
Any proper plan the Legislature
may see fit to adopt to aid this nation
al undertaking will receive the hearty
concurrence of the executive.
THE CO NST fT (ITION A L (X)ti VE
TION.
The subject of constitutional reform
is now occupying a large space of
public attenton;opinions are various
as to its propriety or necessity, as the
views of men are conservative or'
Progressive. There is now,however,
in session in Philadelphia a conven.
tion of respectable and honorable
gentlemen, authorized by the people
to revise the consitution.Tot hese gen
tlemen we can confidently refer the
question of constitutional reform, in
the belief that out of their combined
integrity and wisdom will spring
such measures as will best conduce to
the safety, and happiness and pros
perity of our people.
ABUSE OF LEGISLATIVE POWER
There is one foremost and growing
evil, however, to Which by my oath
as your executive, and my sense of
duty as a citizen,l am constrained
to ask your special attention. I refer
to special legislation, or the abuse of
legislative power to further particu
lar local and private ends to the ex
clusion of public business. I cannot
condemn this evil in language too
strong, and it seems but the part of
common sense that some positive re
striction be put upon legislation that
will confine it to public objects and
make its enactments uniform and
general.
THE I'ARIXINING BUSINESS.
There is another subject to which
I may be permitted to advert, be
cause it concerns one of my most im
portant functions. I refer to the par
doning power. The exercise of this
power rests exclusively within the
discretion and the conscience of the
Executive, and when we consider
the importunities of, the friends of a
condemned man, and their natural
inclinations to use every influence
to obtain a pardon, it must be conce
ded that this power is a trying and
dangerous one with which to invest
any one man. Any provision that
would relieve the conscience rgid di
vide the responsibility of the„ exer
cise of this power will surely com
mend itself to the good sense of our
people.
'FATRITY OF THE SINKING FUND
Then , is a popular demand, too,
that the sinking fund, Containing
bonds that represent the proceeds of
the sale of public works, and which
are made applicable alone to the pay
ment of the public debt, shall be kept
sacred for the purpose to which it is
ledtcated, and that the safeguards of
thistfund be made so strong as to pri).
tect it from every encroachment,
however ingeniously planned or
powerfully supported. To this de
mand the Constitutional Convention
will doubtless respond, and for my=
self I may be permitted to say that
no legislation impairing the security
of this fund or changing its character
shall receive my sanction as your ex
ecutive. In view of the prospect
that the. Legislature will, after this
session, be divested or its powers to
legislate for special objects, a popu
lar apprehension is prevailing that
interested parties will push their
schemes at this juncture, and make
extraordinary efforts to control legis
lation. I deem it my duty to im
press upon the Legislature the neces
sity of examining with more than
ordinary care every measure submit
ted for their consideration.
OCR PUBLIC CLIABITIES.
Too much credit cannot be accord
ed to the honorable and humane gen
tlemen who compose file board of
public charities for their valuable
services, gratuitously bestotied, in
supervising the manifold and impor
tant public trusts the State has confi
ded to their care.l take great pleasure
in inviting the attention of the Leg
islature to the suggestions and work
of this excellent board, and shall
unite in any plan that will help these
gentleman to accomplish their bene
ticient designs.
PROSI'F.CTS IN FUTURE.
We have great cause for thankful
ness, my fellow-citizens, when we
contemplate the happy and prosper
ous condition of our country. Re
cuperating rapidly from the ravage
and waste of our greet civil war, she
is moving forward to ane 1v era of
progress and development; and in
this march to a higher destiny, in
which all the states are united, Penn
sylvania should have a place in the
van—a position to which she is enti
tled by the intelligence and charac
ter of her citizens, the magnitude of
her resources, the extent of her in
dustrial interests and the grand rec
ord of, her patriotism. To maintain
this position for our proud old Com
monwealth will be the constant en
deavor of your Executive; and to
strengthen his arm and enlarge his
understanding he asks tho support
and counsel of all good citizens, and
litinibly implores the aid and guid
ance of Ilion who Is the Supreme Ru
ler.
The Two Wives 01 Aaron Burr.
The revival of the celebrated Jumel
will case, which fur years has been
dragging its slow length through the
New York courts, naturally recalls
the name nnii history of the man
who figured as the second husband of
the woman whose property now bids
fair to be swallowed up in the insati
ate maw of the legal profession. We
do not, of course, propose to attempt
any biography or criticism of one
who has been so thoroughly crucified
by the pens of scribblers of high and
low degree, us Aaron Burr; but The
very notoriety he has gained lends a
strong interest to some details of his
domestic life which are not entirely
familiar to the majority of newspa
per readers.
It was while commanding his regi
ment in New Jersey during the early
years of the revolutionary war, that
Colonel Burr made the acquuintance
of the lady who afterwards beeiune
his first wife and the mother of that
incomparable daughter. whose geni
us and fidelity have almost redeemed
her father's fame. Mrs.• Theodosia
Prevost was thou the wife of Colonel
Prevost of the British army, at that
time in the West Indies. She resid
ed at Paramus, with her mother and ;
sister and her two sons—the latter
sprightly little fellows whose vivaci
ty could not be other than attractive
to a man so passionately - fond of
bright children us Burr was till the
day of his death. Mrs. Prevost was
ten years older than the young officer
whom she captivated by her - rare
grace and culture; but neither the dif
terence In age, nor the absence 'of
beauty lessened her charms in his
estimation. Her family—the be
Viennes—fwas of French or Swiss
origin, and she herself VMS the first
woman educated In accordance with
the European standard whom Burr
bad ever met. She was thoroughly
versed in the best literature of the
day, and undoubtedly did much
toward form lug the taste and shaping
the intellectual development of au
admirer who, above all other things
le the world, appreciated brains—
particularly when lodged in a female
.
head. Hermanners are represented
to have been the perfection of •ole
sluice and refinement, and long after
she had been mercifully taken away
from the evil to come, Burr was ac
customed to say that if his own man
ners were in any rasped superior ' to
those of men in general,lt was main
ly owing to the insensible influence
of hers. Some unpublished letters
from her hand which we have seen,
abundantly confirm this estimate of
her character—the penmanship is
exquisitely neat and clear, and the
matter Is no less remarkable far its
vigorous common sense than for the
admirable style in which it is set
forth.
We have said that Burr was an ad
mirer of Mrs. Prevost, but there is
not the slightest reason to suppose
that his admiration ever went beyond
the bounds of strict propriety, or that
her behevior was in any respect air
worthy the position she occupied.
If she was eonsciods of the impres
sion she had made that conscious
ness never revealed itself in word or
act—and it is the most wretched in
justice to fasten upon her,teputation
even a shadow of the stain which rests
upon him whose brighter fortunes
she shared. But when, not long after
their first meeting, Colonel Prevost
died, It is probable that this mutual
self restraint gradually began to dis
appear-for we know that when Burr
resigned from the army in 1779, they
were engaged to be married—the
ceremony being delayed only by
those pecuniary considerations which
cannot be overlooked even in the de
lirium of passionate love. Both were
poor, and let it be remembered as a
slight atonement for his many subse
quent transgressions, that Burr de-
I.iberately married for affection and
not for money. He was young,
handsome and brilliant; he had come
out of the war with a splendid record
for bravery and military skill; he had
begun the practice of law under the
most flattering auspices; he was uni
versally regarded as a rising man
whose future could not fall to be glo
rious and witty. these recommenda
tions he might easily have wooed
and won a younger andlovelier bride,
who would have brought him the
influence of her family as well as the
more tangible blessings of an ample
fortune. To say that Burr did not
see the advantages which might re
sult from making whet is now term
ed "a good match," is to suppose
him a fool—which he certainly was
not. That he put aside these advan
tages while perfectly comprehending
their weight, is at least an evidence
that his heart was nrt quite as hard,
his selfishness not quite as profound
as his enemies would have us believe.
Burr was admitted to the bar Jan
uary 10.1782, and on the 2d of July
following he married Mrs. Prevost
she then being thirty-six years old
and lie twenty-six. The pair took
up their residence in Albany, where
—June 2,l7B3—Theodasta was born.
As fur as we are able td judge from'
the scanty material at dur command,
the union was from Sid to last, a
happy one. Weddell td the woman
he loved, surrounded by the purest
and tenderest associations, with no
muse of anxiety, present or prospec
tive, and with everything to stimu
late his ambition and gratify his
wishes—the next twelve years were
by far the best and brightest of Burr's
long and varied career. How he
must have looked to those years from
the gloomy standpoint of that period,
when there could hardly be found
in the whole country a dozen persons
who dared call themselves his friends°
Mrs. Burr died of cancer in the
spring of 1791—1 n time to &leap° the
abuse and ignominy which were des

Beaver.—A correspondent of the
Pittsburgh Gazette, In a series of toter*
to that paper touching the valley of the
Beaver, thus notites the county seat:
"Beaver; the county seat of Beaver

last century, while yet the whole country
around it was a "howling wilderness,
and rho home of the wild Hut, native of
this region. Though the life of the tow u
has been an eminently quiet one, and
scarce a ripple has been raised on its sur
face by the commotions-and excitements
incident to almost every other town in
the valley, yet a part of Its history, In its
aboriginal life, tradition informs us, was
characterized by slime of the most roman
tic and daring adventures, and some of
the most interesting incidents, ever wit-
nessed in thia country. The bare mention
of Beaver. throws the mind back nearly
a century, tti the building of old Fort Mc
Intosh and to its subsequent career and
history. Clustering around the history
of that o'4l Fort, is found ninny an event
or transaction of real life, that would lend
an enchantment to the pen of the nurst
gifted writer, and furnish the literary
world with some of the brightest and in
tensely interesting WOl6ll of romance and
daring.
For years the Fort was occupied by sol

houses on the outside, which they occu

privations of frontier life, and enjoying
the excitements and sports attending it.

of a woman,—supposed to be nevoid of

LAVING OCT BEAVER
History furnishes us with the following
information relative to the laying out of
the tow nof Beaver :
"By the act of September 28th. 1791,
Thomas Mifflin. the Governor of the State
at that time was instructed to be caused
to be surveyed 200 acres of land in town
lots, near the mouth of Beaver creek, on
or near the ground where the old French
tows., stood, and also 1.000 acres ad
joining it, on the upper side thereof, as
nearly square as might he. in outlota, not
less than five nor more than ten i.cres
each. By the same act, 500 acres were
granted for an Academy. Daniel Leet
surveyed the plot."
The probable motive at that day for lo
catini, the county seat at a distance from
the great manufacturing advantages at
the falls. was the existence of the well
kt.own shoal just below the mouth of the
Beaver; and a difficult and dangerous pas
sage to the keel beats and other craft in
use at that day. By the location here the
town was accessible alike to the lower
and tipper trade, and the obstructions
themselves would probably throw consid
mid° business into the place. Samuel
Johnston first settled in Beaver in 1796.
He kept an inn on the bank of the river
near Fort Mclntosh. Ia 1800, the town
was made the seat of justice, and incor
porated, Starch 20th, 1802.
Among the early settlers, we find re
corded the names of such men 'as James
Allison, Thomas Henry, Joseph Hem
phill, James Lyon, Samuel Lawrence, men
of honor - and character, and who; though
now at rest with their fathers, are yet re
membered with sacred reverence by the
generations following them. Their in
tegrity of chracter, intellectual ability,
and moral w orth, have left us some of the
substantial and leading nen of our coun
ty. It would probably lie Invidious to
mention the names of any of these wor
thy descendants, when it :s remembered
that all of them are held in the highest
esteem by their neighbors, and some of
whom have occupied high places of trust,
and honor, at the hands of the county,
awl State, and citizens.
At the time of the incorporation of the
town, the whole region was a dense wil
derness of trees and saplings, as twleed
was nearly the whole of the entire valley.
It is related with great interest by those
will were boys at that time, bow the
milling used to be done in those days,
whertittere was but one mill for all, lo
cated! above New Brighton, and called
"Wolf's Mill."
There was a single, narrow road cut
through the forest leading to the mill,
over which the good old fathers of the
olden tune. *mats° awry their wheat on•
horseback to be ground, and return with
the dour. It is hard for one in. this vas
ley of mills. where tons of wheat are
ground daily, to now comprehend that ev
er such a time existed, except in imagine.

EARLY INDICATIONA OF CIVILIZATION.
The first officer in the county of tbe
courts was Davui Johnsen,: man of high
literary attainments, and great ability,
who was appointed as first Prothonotary
by Governor McKean. Mr. Jobnson was

the sluing of some of the courts in early
times.
Beaver remained mostly a wilderness
foro a long series of years, no building of
any being done until About
1810 or 1812. A court house was erected
IA 1810, of brick, by Percifcr Taylor •as
contractor, to which an addition was,put
in 1846. The original structure, though
ship-two yea re of age, bears its years well
and , looks good for as runny more to come.
A jail was built,in 1812 which stood n
great slimy years, and was succeeded by
a fine sand stone structure built in 186&
What the court did for a place for crimi
nals up to 1812, history does not inform
us, but it may be that they were confined
in it . part of the court bone—the old log
building. Or it may ho that prisoners in
those days had more respect for the dig.
nity of the law than is now shown, and
gracefully obeyed its
.sentenee until re
leased by proper order, Outside of these
buildings to meet the end/ Of 'Justice, but
tittle improvement of any consequence
took place. Hefei - Mil there
,amid the
gloomy grandeur of the forest trees, a
mble residence was erected for the ac
commodation of the plain people, who
dug (ruin the unwilling soil its roots and
biusiband forced it to supply: Aber wants,
and there laid the fottridation for the fu
ture greatness and comfort for a people
not ao plain in costume anti living.
A "BEAR BTOILY."
But very little progress of any kind
was made until about 1830. As an in-,
stance of the wildness of „parts of the
country, I givepiace ter a "bear story,"
occurring in theyeer.l24:l.- The hero et
the adventure was Mr. David Johuson,a
son of the first Prothonotary. Mr.
Johnson loved the sport and excitement
of hunting and was accustomed to range
through the woods on the edge of the
town, and secure the wild game which
was quiteplenty. On this occasion he
prepared his trusty rifle, and started
forth. His course lay in the direction of
the upper part of Bridgewater, then
Sharon, Where there was an excellent
bunting ground.
He had wandered around awhile in
the woods, when to his astonishment,
be found coming toward him ready for
fight, n boar of very large size. There
were two courses open for him to pnrsu
fight or run. lie decided to give him
one ateirand then make for home. This
he did, when the bear followed him with
more than agreeable energy. Johnston
had a little dog, which keet the bear an
noyed by nipping at his heels, and thus
retarded the progress of Bruin and al
lowed Johnson to keep In advance. His
line of retreat lay toward, the street of
Beaver, nowt leading out to Fallstou. At
the edge of the town on this road was a
house, and fortunately the man of the
house was at work on the outside, ac
companied by a large dog. He saw the
approaching bear and got his gun from
the house, bywbich time the man and
bear wore in (runt of ills house. The
presence of another actor on the seen.
of conflict, and an additional dog at Its
heels, pot the bear on the defensive, and
he commenced a lively.retreat toward
the river. As he passed , through the
town, its quiet streets were enlivened
by the barking of doge; ihe' screaming
of women, the halloo of boys and the
cheers of men, and the worst *cared bear
of the nineteenth century. The bear got
to the river edge and took to the water
for security. Three or four men imme
diately boarded a "dug out" and started
in pursuit. Tho bear was overtaken,
but was entirely equal to the occasion.
When the boat overtook him, no very
quietly clambered over the shicand took
possession, the punnets giving up 'and
surrendering their boat unoonditional
ly." Bruin veryknowingly eyed the
crowd on shore, as if in exhithtion over
Ida easy victory, but was soon brought to
teams, after several . bulleti Mid.' been
lodged in him, wben was brought
_
ashore and disposettof.

has put on quite a business air. It is !ILA
losing the reproach that used to be attach
ed to it on account of its quiet and seem
ingly general lassitude. People no longer
say of Beaver, "It's our county sent," and
then look as if they were ashamed to
mention the fact; but on the contrary its a
`high day' when the towns and town s hip s

Facts About ilx lificrlory
The question of the relations be
tween the Union Pacific Railroad
Company and the Credit. ,Mobilier
and of the good aith with which the
members of these corporations curried
out their engagements with the gov
ernment and with each other, is a
very different one from that with
which congress and the country are
now concerned. Theeredit Mobilier
was incorporated by the Pennsylva
nia Legislature in 1851), under the
name of the Fetifisylvanitt Fiscal
Agency, with power to borrow mon
ey and transact other business inci
dent to similar corporations. Five
years later,George Francis Train,
having go t hold of the'eharter, had
thename changed to "the Credit Mo
biller of America," after one of the
great corporations of • France; and
later still its powers were greatly en
larged to enatslethe company to loan
its aettit, guarantee contracts and en
gage in business generally on a grand
scale. The Union Pacific Railroad
Company was incorporated in 1862.64,
and received the last of 118 very valua
ble grants in 1861. In 1866, when
the enterprise, through Mismanage
ment and a nearly universal want of
confidence, was in dangler of breaking
down, Mr. Ames took hold of it, in
vested a large part of his private for
tone,and through his confidence and
enthusiasm persuaded' many Of his
friends also to embark In it.• To es
cape personal liability they, with
their associates, got possession of the
Credit Mollifier charter, put their
money into its stock, intending to
build the road with 'NAM and under
its guarantee. The emit contract, for
247 miles eastof the 100th meridian.
was assigned'to the Credit Mobilier
and was executed by, that corpora- I
tion. The second contract, for 667
miles of road and telegraph west of
that meddles?. taken by Mr. Ames
individually for $48,000,000, was as
signed by him to seven trustees, who
were also members of tbe Credit 'go
biller, who executed the contract,
and divided the prolifis among the
stockholders of that' corporation.
The Credit Mobilier beesune but an
other name for the railroad company,
absorbing its assets of every kind as
fast as they became available.—Boa

Marriage in the Snatch fashion,
which is simply an agreement be
tween the contracting parties to love,
honor and obey, without the assist
ance of priest or service, seems often
to be little nacre than concubinage,
and the recently published account of
one of these marriages and its conse
quence]; goes to show that their le
gality isnot wholly unquestioned on
their native heath.
Mr. Wilson, of Edinburg, with an
extensive and itscrativa, business, was

long took wilds quartera, with the

understood that they' were to be mar
ried, but as the Major showed no dis
position to broach the subject; Mag.
gla's fattier, at an ensuing party given
to honor .of the Majors birthday,
spoke to him of the anxiety cancer-.
nine his rather protracted intimacy
with his daughter, and urged him to
marry her. Major Stewart said he
was
-too poor to marry as befitted his
station, but "Walla peoples mouths," '
he would at once marry Maggie' *in
the &etch fashion." Ife then knelt
down before her, placed a wedding
ring upon her finger, saying, "Mag
gie, you are my wife before heaven,
so help me God. "She put her arm.
around his neck, the two kissed . each
Other, and among the guests present.
the marriage was regarded as duly
solemnized acentding to Scotch law,
Which does not Fequire a clergy
man- With this simple wedding,
which was none the less - merry be
cause it lacked the traditional mar
riage bell, the young couple com
imeneed living together as man and
wife. About a year after, in April,
1868, a son was born; the Major spoke
of this child as his young heir, and
appeared very fond of it. In 1869,
Major Stewan, who was a very deso
late man, and was suffering from de
lirium tremens, died, and his widow
in due time married a second hus
band, this time a lieutenant. The
baronet, father of the first husband,
also died, and his death was quickly
followed by her first born, the tun
jor's son. Just before the child's
death, the wido*' had entered suit
against the second son of the then
deceased baronet, asking that her
marriage with Major Stewart should
be declared lawful, and that her son
should be Installed heir of entail to
the estates of the fa Hy. After the
death of the boy this ction was con
tinued !or the pur of securing the
widow's share of pr party, and the
other day it came up for trial at Ed
inburg. Numerous witnesses were
intr,oduced, who swore to the fact of
the merriagt, and others to show the
Major had introduced-Wggie as his
wife. At the close of the evidence
for the plaintiff her claim seemed es
tablished. Rub the defence astonish
ed everybody by attempting to prove
that Major Stewart had never re
garled Maggie in any other light
than as a kept mistress. A Catholic
priest swore that the Major had told
him that the witness had tried to en
trap him triton marriage, put he had
foiled them, and he spoke of Maggie
only as his mistress. The priest had
baptized the child, for its own sake,
but had entered it as illegitimate.
Other witnesses supported this by
affirming that the Mafor had declared
repeatedly, and in the hearing of the
witnesses, that he had never married
Maggie and never intended to.
Altogether it appeared that their
connection was not sound morally.
After a protracted trial theme was
decided in favor of the claimant, the
Judge declaring the parties really and
truly married and their issue legiti
mate. The value of the estate in
which this interesting young woman
thus receives a widow's interest is
very large.
