jwrler et her heuse In Chester, en Tuesday.
HIie was shaking or lier niece, who wan
slowly dying upstairs. It wan Just ever a
month age when Charles Hall's nelghlKirs
across tlie way uotlced that thore was a new
Inttiale In Ins home. Mho wax a pretty, Blon Blen
der girl, with n Mry iiiolanchely face, big
Mil eyes, nnd long, light hair. Then when
they had grown until te seeing l'er "h0 lu'
deuly illsapared from her neat at tlie win win

thoy'velioon wondering all tlie mere, for
they've hiuird It whispered that thnlr pretty
slgfit acquaintance was married two woeka
Hen, whim It was thought alie was dying.
There Is no hee for Mr. Julius M. Fresh
new, for that Is her married name. She was
known In Philadelphia by her nialdeu name,
Nettio l'lokep, and she nnd her motlier kept
n llttle hoiiseat'J,n2l Hamilton Mroet going,
ler her father had drsorteil tliem, and they'd
tried to'iUlte forget Ji 1 til.
Miss Nettio had n Hplitndld volce and sang
In the ehelr of llm 1'rotestanl Hplsoeal
church or tlie Kplphany, FIReenlli and
Chestnut streets. HIie attracted Ihu atten

her vocal svv or. cultivated. Heme tlme age
she secured n pntlnu In tlie laboratory or
Itltteiihouxe A Meller, Twenty-second and
Itaoe streets, and thore met Julius M. I'resh,
who Is a shlpplngclerk In that establishment
lie courted her nnd she gnvehlm her premise
te marry him en her d birthday. Mho was
tiikfii alck, hew ever, with consumption, and
had te give up her position. Her aunt, Mrs.
Hall, 1 1 card or It and came In this city te hee
her, and, finding her condition precarious
said she must ceme te her home In Cheater,
whither alie went, and she had Isntn there a
ahert tlme when sdie wasforceil te go te lied
and Dr. (Iraham said her case was hopeless
nnd death was very near. Yeung Fresh
heuril It nnd Insisted that she should Ik) his
wife liofero alie died.
The Hev. Geergo C. Moere, or St Luke's
church, found n Tery sad llttie wedding party
In the parlor or 31t Kntit Klghth stroet last
Monday night two weeks nge. Tliedylng girl
leaned lrnck wearily In a big easy chair, in
which she had Ihhii carried downstairs from

held her emsirlntcd hand. The minister said
tlie service, hut It founded ery dreary anil
long, for every oue in the room knew that It
must ls followed hya funeml shortly. It
wasdenn at last, mid the pale little lirlde
went Isick te bed te die. Thore wero no re
joicings or festlv itles nlterward, nnd the inln inln
lster loll the house as silently as he cniue,
mill evin the people next deer hadn't an
Idrn what had happened. They nay the
young husband watches by her bed slde
constantly, and Dr. Graham tells him he
needn't hes, for her death must come, and
It's likely te ie nt any moment.'
Mrs. Clausen Is very pretty, Is 22 years old.
5 feet 7 Inches bill, nnd has gray eyes and
dark brew n hair. She wero it soul sacque, n
brown hat nnd n navy blue dress. Neither

watch, chain and locket with the Initials
"M. ()." en It. Therowero four diamonds
In her breastpin and live In her ring.
We had no quarreler any kind," Mr.
Clausen aald last night. " I knew she has
net run nway from urn, and I don't knew
what te think. I'm pii7.zled and grieved,
but will Ichve no Htene unturned te llnd her."
Mrs. Clniihen'M cousin Hella was also wor
ried. "My cousins," she aald last night,
" wero happy nnd geed humored when they
lelt the liniiHO, and 1 had no iilen that they
would notcemo back. Mr. Clausen has a
very violent temper, and frequently when
he was excited my cousin bocame he ill that
we had te Hend rer n doctor. They wero en

It is said II rit the mnrrlage was made
without the knowledgeor Clausen's family.

Net one of Ihese gentlemen or the presldent

The letter te Senater Merrill In reply te the

approval as te every word. There were seme
peculiarly cordial and pleasing features about
the last cabinet meeting which cannot be
mentioned In detail, but which It has been n
pleasure te every member or tlie cabinet
present te recall In view of Mr. Manning's

your imtlve land ; ye great creators or wealth,
who stands as tlie foundation of all national

(leuld, the giant llend ; Gould the money

He turns upon us n horde of lawless thugs

St. Let-is, April?. In KaslSt Leuis, the
Island portion or the cHy presented a mero
actlve and buslnoss-llke appearance this
morning than has been seen thore for the last
threo weeks. All the reads north of the
brulge were receiving and delivering freight
in hotter Hhape than they have been able te
de for seme time. Seuth or the bridge, hew-
evor, the LoulsvilleANashvillo was the only
read that was open te any but the coal busi
ness. At thelr yard beveral freight handlers
have been employed, and the tired clerks who
have been handling freight, wero allowed te
return te thelr desks. The read Is
new handling nil rr eight ollerod. Ne
switchmen have been otnpleyed, the ngenls
nnd ether elllcials still whirl brakes nnd
threw the switches. Twe freight trains were
sent out this morning, no attempt being
made te Induce the engineers te loave thelr
engines. An lndlauapellH and St Leuis
switch engine was moving earn, nbeut tlie
yards, most of them lielng coal Hats. Ne
frelglit whs being received or dellveted, ns
tlie company has no frelglit handlers. The
oiiginecref tlie switch engine stated that lie
had net been nsked te leave his engine this
morning, and lie did uet think that he would
loave it should he be asked. The Vandalia
was attending te business ns usual, having
went out one freight this morning and ex poets
te bend out several ethers during the day.
Twe or three new men have been hired te
take the places of the strikers, nnd the ngeut
says he does net expect any farther Interrup
tion lu freight tralllu out el his station. The
Ohie iVJ Mississippi, Wabash it Chicago and
Alten are receiving and delivering freight as
bolnre the strike, and each are new running
rreight trains.
The yards are guarded by a strong ferce of
deputy sherlll's and United States marshals.
The Chicago, IUirllngten it Quincy men are
back at work ence mere, nnd they say In
most 0111 phatloterms that they are back te

with liberality, 'l no company has agreed te
pay Its men the Chicago scale, and they will
receive full wages for the tlme they were en

aud all returned te work this morning, with
the oxceptlen of ene man, who Is Hick und

with the Knights or Laber from the beginning
and only the peremptory erder rreni their

considerable dissatisfaction among the engi

that they are new seriously considering

The Salvation Arm are at present without
a "barracks," as they term the hall In
which their services are held. When they
catne te this city about two months age,
they rented Grant hall, where they held forth
up te and Including Sunday night The
crowds drawn te thl9 place were very disor
derly and the nolse was always great in the
hall. I-awyers and ether neighbors began te
complain of the matter and many declared
that the army was a nuisance. The proprie
tors orthe ball finally concluded te rent It no
ionger te the Salvationists, and they were
cempelled te leave.
IjisI night the army held their meeting en
the south or the soldier's monument in the
Square. A number or young men, who
claim te have been convertod, told thelr ex
perience, nnd seme el them must have lieen
tield, bail men In their time. One or the
number said that his chlef amusement when
the army flrst catne here was te go te the
hall, ' guy " the Salvationists and make a
nolse ; he seen found that he was doing
wrengand he began te seek the Lord through
the nrmy ; he is new doing well nnd Is cer
tain that he is saved. Other stories, Just as
heartrending, were related and the nudience
was rather noisy.
The singing last night was about the worst
the army has yet dene here. This may be
accounted for by the fact that seme et the
new converts de net knew their parts. The
lender et the nrmy announced that although
they had been driven from their barracks the
Lord would previde another in a short tlme.
He will likely tell te-night If such prevision
has been made.
