In an out-of-the-way nook of The Dis
patch of yesterday the following marriage
notice occurred:
CAVETT HUDDELL At Camden, If. J..
August 6, Faxnie M. Huddell to John B.
CAVKTT. of Allegheny.
There is a very romantic story attached
to this marriage. Before the lives of the
twain indicated inthenotice were made one,
a neat little plot Bad to be batched, which
required all the artifices of lore to bring it
to a successful issue.
Last night a Dispatch reporter called
at the residence of the bride's parents, 66
Hirer avenue, to ascertain their new of the
secret alliance now made public Mrs.
Euddell, mother of the young bride, ad
mitted the attache into a dining room. On
a chair at the farther end of the room sat
the bride. Mrs. CaTett, nee Miss Fanny
3Iurdoch Huddell, is a young lady of
vivacious manners. She has a well-rounded
form, with a shapely head, and is an at
tractive young lady in every respect. Her
mother said:
"My daughter married without my knowl
edge. She left me to go away on a visit. I
bad not the least idea when she left me that
she was going to be married. A party lelt
Allegheny for a short trip East, making
2 ew York their terminal point. My daugh
ter and her husband were among the party,
and when tbey arrived in Philadelphia they
crossed the State line, and married
in the usual Camden style. They
returned home just as they went,
nobody bad the least suspicion that any
thing unusual had transpired. He went to
his home, a few doors away, and back to his
work just in the regular way, and she re
turned to my roof. Xow and then during
the last month he jut called at our house in
an informal way. He had been pursing
this course, however, for the last five years.
The visits he paid did not vary from his
others. "We received him and dismissed him
as any other friend.
THE TBUTH LEAKED OUT.
"The first intimation the family had of it
vas last Sunday at the dinner table. I
have an old friend, John McKoberts, who
resides on the Southside, who happened to
go to Kew Tork on the same cars that my
daughter did. On his return journey he
remained tor a few days in Philadelphia.
Picking up the Ledger one morning, he
noticed the marriage of my daughter, to his
great surprise.
"He visited us last Sunday. "When we
were all seated around the dinner table, he
said: 'Mrs. Huddell, I did not think I was
traveling with a Trospective bride and
groom. I asked him who were the happy
parties. His answer! Ob; his answer!
It almost broke my heart to
jearn tnat my .canny naa gone
-and married without ever saving
one word to me. Consternation filled the
room; indeed I could not help weeping. To
only think, the first child to be married, and
her mother not to be aware of it. It is done
now, and I forgive them Jreely. If they had
only said something to me about it things
would have been different. Camden
with all its unsavory history would
not have been on their marriage certificate."
About an hour after this conversation the
husband of the young ladv dropped around
to the house to pay his evening call, and he
was met by the reporter and asked for a
statement of the case.
THE GEOOM TELES HIS TALE.
"When we reached Philadelphia I impor
tuned the party to stay over night. My
proposition was acquiesced in. Alter dinner
I excused myself from the party, saying I
would accompany Miss Huddell to see her
aunt. "We immediately crossed the State
border and went to the residence of the Eev.
J. W. Sooy, of Main street, Camden. The
reverend gentleman treated us in
an affable manner, and in ten
minutes the knot was tied. However, as
soon as I can arrange for a lew private
matters I villi take a house, and to it I will
take my bride." Mrs. Cavett, nee Mis Hud
dell laughed joyously during this narra
tion of her husband'sstory. She said to com
plete the statement: 'M?e joined the party
with the lull intention of carrying into
efiect what we so long anticipated. We are
married; that is the all-absorbing topic
with me."
Mr. Cavett, who lives at 80 River avenue,
s few doors above the bridge, is a tall,
manly fellow, and told his story with great
frankness.

The Eldest Son or Sheriff McCandless
Drowned Last Evening.
The family circle of Sheriff A. JE. Mc
Candless was broken last evening by the
loss from drowning of Alexander, a 14-ycars
old boy, the oldest and brightest of the
children, and a general favorite with all
with whom he came in contact.
The boy, with a number of companions,
went, as customary, about 5 P. SI. yester
day, to bathe in the pool ot Lock
No. 1, and while going out further
than any of the others in the swell of a
steamer was seen by his companions to
throw up his hands and sink. This com
mon water trick of boys to see how deep
they would go was not paid any attention
to for several minutes, but when he failed
to appear the alarm was given.
The banks ot the river were soon crowded
by hundreds ot friends of the family, all
anxious to recover the boy, who, like his
father, the Sheriff, was a great favorite.
Sheriff McCandless and his brother. Dr. J.
Guv McCandless, were soon on. the scene,
and offered 100 reward for the finding of
the body. It was nearly 11 P. M. when
"William Thompson and Kobert Smothers
grappled the body with a hook and brought
it asnore a short distance below the dam.
The remains were immediately taken in a
carriage to the Sheriff's residence, corner of
Center avenue and Dinwiddie street.
A curious coincidence is the tact that
Robert Smothers, the colored janitor of
Municipal Hall, who found the boy, picked
up the remains of his little brother-in-law
the evening before, who was drowned in al
most the same place.

Developed in a Scottdale-Piltsbnrg
Recent Scandal.
A GIBL OF 16 WAS MALTREATED.
Several People Arrested for Conspiracy in
Enticing the Girl
IXCRIMIXATING LETTERS SECURED
On last Friday afternoon a gentleman in
formed Superintendent Boger O'Mara that
a girl under 15 years of age was being de
tained in a disorderly house No. Ill First
avenne. Superintendent O'Mara and In
spector McAleese went to the proprietress,
Laura Bailey, and demanded that the girl
be given up, which was done, and she has
been detained ever since in the hospital de
partment of the Central Station.
It was found that the girl, whose name is
Mary Sullivan, and who is not yet 15 years
of age, was engaged as a domestic by Jacob
A. Bobbs, a jeweler of Scottdale, and that
in the absence of his wire, who was on a
visit to Kansas, he bad misused the young
domestic Fearing detection of his wrong
doing, he conceived the idea of getting the
girl away, and into some resort so that he
could be rid of her and place her in a posi
tion where she could not very well appear
against him. To this end he secured the
services of Mrs. Minnie Fleming, daughter
of a farmer named Schoup, living about a
mile out of Scottdale, and also those of
Frank Hill, a friend of his. Frank Hill
will be remembered as a party to the
CELEBEATED HILL-MARCHA1TD
scandal at Greensburg, when his wife eloped
with Marchand in 18S6, and both were cap
tured and brought back from Pensacola,
Fla., by Roger O'Mara. The subsequent
suit by Mrs. Hill's friends against O'Mara
for conspiracy was also a cause celebre
which failed ot its purpose.
The house to which Bobbs decided to en
tice the girl was that at 111 First avenue,
with the people of which he was acquainted.
To this end he wrote the following letter to
Florence Donelson, one of the inmates:
Scottdale, September la
3IIs Florence:
There will be a party in with that little party
I spoke to you about You get her off my
hands some way, for she Intends to get me in
trouble. Don't yon let her know that you
know me at all, for she thinks I don't go to see
anyone but her. You can easy get ber in a
bouse if you only try, and that will be all I
need. After she is in a house that will clear
me. But don't mention my name at all, for, if
you do, she may catch on, and that
will spoil all. You get her in at as good
a place as you can. There is no danger of
anybody hunting for her because her folks
think she is in Baltimore. You can have ber
in tbe same house you are as far as that part
is concerned. Yon do the best you can, and I
will see you as soon as I can, and 1
will see you on Sunday night, or perhaps
sooner; and I may not see you that soon, but
please belp me out on this. You know as soon
as she gets in a house it will help me.
J.A.B.
P. S. I am a little drunk to-day, but that is
all right.
You mind, when that party comes in to keep
my name mum. You get hold of her and make
ber believe she can make money in a place of
this kind, and if you make it work I will pay
and do as much for you in some way. Answer
me when you land her. J. A. B.
THE LETTEE BEACHES THE POLICE.
The police got possession of this letter,
and discovered that Hill, Mrs. Minnie
Fleming and the girl Sullivan arrived in
Pittsburg last Thursday, and stopped at the
Seventh Avenue Hotel, Hill and the girl
keeping close together. She was taken
from No. Ill First avenue the next day.
On Saturday night tbe woman Florence
Donelson, inflamed by jealousy, started
for Scottdale, and going to Bobbs' jewelry
store raised a luss, threatening to shoot mm.
She was arrested by tbe local constable
there, and held until Monday, when she
was fined by Justice Jonathan Merritt.
The Suliivan girl, who, although very
young, shows no compunction for her mis
deeds, or regret at her position, wrote the
following letter, addressed to Florence
Donelson, and endeavored to have it smug
gled out of the Central Station, but it was
intercepted:
ANOTHEB LETTEE GOES A"WBY.
IT IS RIGHT IN OFF SSIITHFIELD ST.,1
CEMEAL.STATlOJf, September 9. J
Miss Florence:
Deab Friend I am sorry to say that I am
in great trouble, and it would do me a lot of
good if yon would come to Central station No.
1 and let on that you wanted to fetch me some
thing over. 1 have something to tell you that
will save you and me a lot of tronble. I
am not locked up, but in the upstairs
room in the station house. When you
come just :walk right in and upstairs
and no one will molest vou. They are going to
arrest Hill, Bobbs and your landlady, and I
think the lady will woik this out for me. For
God's sake get them word and come to see me
at once. 1 have something to say that will
save a lot of trouble for us.
Poor Frank I And oh, my dear Jake. It will
just kill me. For God's sake come as soon as
you can and don't let anything stop you.
Don't let on to any officer at the station house
that 1 wrote to you.
I am y our friend May.
Oh! oh I my poor Jake. For God's sake
come as soon as you can. Yours, May.
Having collected all the evidence neces
sary Detectives Fitzgerald and Phil Dem
mel started for Scottdale yesterdaymorning
and arrested J. A. Bobbs, Mrs. Minnie
Fleming and Frank Hill on a charge of en
ticing a young girl into a disorderly house
in Pittsburg. Bobbs and Mrs. Fleming
both succeeded in giving bail but Hill was
unable to do so, and was brought to Central
station. Last evening Detective Sol Coal
son arrested Laura Bailey and Florence
Donelson at No. Ill First avenue on a sim
ilar charge, and they were also placed in
Central Station. Informations were made
against all these before Magistrate Mc
Kenna by M. J. Dean, agent of the Anti
Cruelty society, and the hearing will take
place on Friday at 2 p. si.
The informations and arrests disclose a
case of depravity all around, and under the
act of 1885, is punishable with very heavy
sentences, according to the clause "under
the age of 16, with or without consent."
There are several other arrests to follow,
both in Pittsburg and Scottdale, in connec
tion with the case. The action of Justice
Merritt, of Scottdale, in accepting bail for
Bobbs and Mrs. Fleming, is severely com
mented on in police circles.
Mary Sullivan lived with her stenfathcr,
William Sullivan, a painter, of Scottdale,
before she went to service with Bobbs. She
is very pretty, a decided blonde, and nn
usually developed for her age.

By the Thousand.
Tbe Pennsylvania Bailroad has done a
wonderful business to Gettysburg. As an
example it may be mentioned that on the
morning special train yesterday, on the
Pennsylvania Bailroad, 387 passengers were
ticketed to the celebrated battlefield. The
4:30 train carried 50, the 7:15 P. M. train
100, the 8:10 train 200, and other regular
trains during the day enough to make up
1,00 for the entire day.
of People Who Call
Safety Department.
Chief Brown, of the Department of
Public Safety,' yesterday said that he had
received a smaller number of visitors
than on any date since he entered the office.
There were only 40, while the attendance
before would average 100 per day. The
classes have change'd considerably from the
time he first assumed control of the depart,
ment until the present. Before the system
ization of the different business. Chief
Brown was daily besieged by people with
grievances and complaints.
Some had objectionable neighbors and
others were objectionable to their neighbors.
One woman had too many saloons in the
vicinity for her comfort or her husband's
sobriety, while another woman thought that
the lady opposite dressed above her means.
Complaints of skin games, poker rooms,
keno and faro layouts came thick and fast,
and the time of the Chief was completely
consumed by such visitors.
But reorganization and discipline
changed all that, and the visitors dimin
ished in number and diverged from
grumblers to place-hunters These consti
tuted the greater proportion of recent visi
tors, and, although easier to entertain them,
the other classes were far harder to get rid
of. The chief said the personnel of the
citv employes showed a vast improvement.
The reason of this was the drop in wages in
various industries made a better classy of
people apply for city employment, which
gave good pay and steady work. All this
tended to raise the standard of men in the
different departments.
"About the Fire Bureau reorganization,
Chiel?" began the questioner.
Mr. Brown laughingly replied, "that is
all bottled up at present, and wijl be for
some time yet"
FK0HSINN S0CIET1 ELECTION.
A Bonrd of Directors Chosen After Six
Hours' Hard Work.
The annual meeting of the stockholders of
the Frohsinn Singing Society to elect di
rectors, was held at the office of the society,
No. 305 Penn avenue, last evening, and it
would seem that there must have been a
number of smoothbore tickets in the field,
judging from the time required to ascertain
the result.
The election commenced at 4 o'clock in
the afternoon, but the result was not ascer
tained until 10 o'clock. There was a very
general turn out of members. The new offi
cers, however, appeared to give satisfaction,
as the best of humor was exhibted late last
night, and the club rooms were crowded
with members enjoying themselves after
their arduous labors.
Following is the board chosen: Julius
Bieler, Gust Mark, C. W. Kraus, F. W.
Neubert, George Toerge, N. Baiber, Philip
Lauge, Louis Brehm and William Spri
sterbacb. The society proposes to make additions to
its present quarters, but the members stated
that the matter was not discussed last night,
and that there was no special hurry to
begin.
DOWN INTO THE RATINE.
A Horse, Bngey and Three People Go Over
a Hundred Foot Clifl".
About 10 o'clock last night a commotion
was raised at the head of Irwin avenue,
Allegheny, by a horse and buggy with a
man and two women, who were intoxicated,
falling over the hill into the ravine. Lieu
tenant Scott and. Officer Bhall placed them
all under arrest and sent them to the lockup.
They gave their names as S. A. McAfee,
Mary Smith and Lizzie Baker. The horse
will likely die. It is badly cut up and
bruised, and could scarcely be led away
from the place where it was found. The
buggy was a complete wreck, but the three
occupants escaped injury.
Tbe spot where they went over the hill is
about 100 feet high and almost a direct de
scent. How they got to the place above on
the hill is a mystery, as there is no wagon
road near it, the hillside being open and
rough.
The man McAfee is not known by the po
lice. On his person was found a check for
$1,000, payable to his order, and one for
5100, both made out yesterday".

last another attempt was made to wreck a

otherwise, the consequences would have
been very disastrous. This is the third at
tempt to wreck a train in this vicinity. The
perpetrators of the attempt have not been

A Possibility That the Sligo Plant
May Go to Connellsyille.
THE TOWN OFFERS INDUCEMENTS.
Increased BHsiness Makes More Eoom for
the Works Necessary.
THE GLEANING? OF THE LABOR MILL
Phillips, Nimick & Co., the proprietors
'of the Sligo Iron Works, on West Carson
street, are contemplating the removal of
their plant, and have received an offer to go
to Connellsville. From present indications
they will not go there unless more liberal
inducements are held out to them.
The object of the firm for wanting to
change their location is on account of their
hampered condition and utter inability to
increase their facilities for handling their
largely augmented business. Their mill is
the first one below the Monongahela bridge,
and it is situated between the Panhandle
and Lake Erie Railroads. The latfer com
pany has purchased all the available
ground in tne immediate vicinity, and it
has constructed tbereon side tracks for the
use of shippers. Phillips, Nimick & Co. sold
them a considerable portion of the ground
upon which the railroad company erected
a roundhouse.
The firm now find that thev must enlarge
meir nurnj,uui wc gronna cannot oe se
cured io uu iu .Lim raiiroaa company also
wants the ground the firm does business on,
and is willing to pay a good price for it.
For these and other reasons the firm will
EEMOVE THEIR PLANT
to a larger site, but when they will do so,
they do not know.
A member of the to wn council of Connells
ville was in the city yesterday looking af
ter the matter. He said that at the meeting
of the council on Tuesday night last, Coun
cilman Mullen stated that Phillips, Nimick
& Co., of this city, desired to remove their
plant. He stated that Manager Bailey, ot
the mill, owned 15 acres of ground on the
north side of Connellsville. upon which a
steel works had once stood. Tbe ground
was large enough to suit the company, and
he advised the council to offer some in
ducements to get the company to locate on
the site.
A resolution was then introduced by
Councilman Mullen, offering the company
free water for three years. The Southwest
Gas Company, through a representative,
stated that they would furnish natural gas
to the company 25 per cent lower than thev
coma secure it in rutsonrg.
The clerk of the Council wrote to the firm
statinr what they had to offer. The firm
were riven to understand that if the offer
was net sufficient they could
STATE THEIE TEEMS '
and tie matter would be considered at the
next neeting. The company have not yet
made any reply.
'he removal of the plant from this city
woulc cause considerable commotion among
the epployes of the company on the South
side The firm employ between 400 and 500
men. The plant is orie of tbe oldest in the
city, laving bee,n built in 1825. It has 34
single puddling furnaces, ten heating fur
naces, two hammers and five trains of rolls.
They lave been taking all the muck iron
made in the Clinton mill and finishing it.
An attempt was made to see Manager
Baile;, of the mill, last night, but the gen
tlemai is in the East A call was made
upon, Mr. W. H. Nimick, a member ot the
firm, End that gentleman said:
"I slo not think we will go to Connells
ville, lut we will ultimately have to move
from (ur present quarters. The Lake Erie
Railroad wants to buy the ground we oc
cupy, and on account of tbe way their busi
ness ii improving they will have to have it
or renain a one-horse road. We have a
HUlel ground we could use in enlarging
o'nr "works, but whether-, it would pay
to spend considerable money now and
sell out to the railroad after awhile is the
question. We must get the ground some
where, and wherever we get the best offer we
will locate. One reason for not going to
Connellsville is that we would only have
the Baltimore and Ohio road for an outlet.
This company has never seemed to favor
slippers, and'does not suit us like the Lake
Ine road."
ANOTHER ELECTRICAL TE0UBLE.
The Allesbenv County Light Company's Men
Say Tbey Will Strike Again.
Another strike is threatened by the old
employes of the Allegheny County Light
Company who went out for an advance of
wages several weeks ago. This time they
claim that the employes of the Keystone
Construction Company will go out with
them.
The ex-strikers claim that the company
has not lived np to the promises made
when the strike was declared off. Prior to
and during the strike, all the extra work
contracted for by the Allegheny company
was given to the Keystone Construction
Company, in which a number of the officials
of the former company are financially in
terested. Since the settlement of the strike,
the men claim the company has thrown
over nearly all the outside work to the
Keystone people and allowed most of their
own inen to remain idle. The work kept by
the Allegheny Company was mostly per
formed by non-union men who helped the
company out during the strike. The former
strikers have brought the matter to the at
tention of the employes of the Keystone
Company, who say they will strike with the
others it'the latter go out. All the men are
members of Electrical Union No. 1, and say
if the work they are entitled to is not given
them they will go out.
K0 DEMONSTRATION WANTED.
The Armstrong Family Wish the Monument
Dedicated Qalelly.
In regard to the meeting of the sub-committee
having in charge the matter of hold
ing a demonstration on the day of the dedi
cation of the Armstrong monument, it is
stated that the family of the dead labor
leader object to an open demonstration.
They want tbe exercises conducted without
any brass band accompaniment, but the en
thusiasm of the members of the different
organizations will probably prevail, and a
big demonstration will be held.
IN THE MACHINISTS' UNION.
An Amalgamation of the Trade Wanted by
tho Eastern Men.
L. Ehman, Assistant Secretarv of the
Trades Couucil, has received a circular from
F. Kellar, Secretarv of a Machinists'
Union in New York, asking bim to co
operate with the Eastern men in the forma
tion of a national trade union of machin
ists. The latter are now divided in trades
unions and the Knights of Labor, and it is
thought that an amalgamation into one or

The Carry University
Has opened its twenty-ninth year with the
largest enrollment ever had at the begin
ning of any year. The superior advantages
offered to students ot Latin. Greek and
higher mathematics is attracting the atten
tion of many of the first families of the city,
who appreciate thorough careful training
in these important studies. The beginners'
classes in Latin, Greek, Algebra and
Geometry are being organized this week;
while the higher classes are also beginning,
Sallust, Cicero, Analytical Geometry,
Conic Sections, Political Economy and
Advanced German, with classes in all the
intermediate studies.
Students entering any of these classes
dnring this month will be given special pri
vate instruction (if necessary) to enable
them to attain good standing in the classes.
After October 1 beginners' classes in these
branches will not be organized till January.
The present month is the best time to
enter these classes, and it may safely be as
serted that better opportunities for securing
a Classical, Scientific or Business education
are not offered in Pennsylvania than those
found at Curry University.

The Clril Serrica Formula Was Not
Marker to the Questions.
IEEEGHLAB LATIN YERBS TO PASSE
The preliminary examination of law stu
dents for the Allegheny County Bar took
place last night in tbe office of Hon. Walter
Lyon, Dnited States District Attorney..
The subjects for examination, as published
by tbe Associated Bar, are as follows:
Elements of Latin, Histories of United
States and England, English Literature,
Logic, Rhetoric, Natural Science, and
Mathematics. A sound education in the
English language was also mentioned as a
requisite.
With regard to the Bhetoric advertised,
the examining attorneys explained that it
consisted of theories only. There were 19
candidates for examination, among them
being a young colored man, who lately
graduated at the Pittsburg High School,
taking first honors on all subjects. The
daily press was represented by three can
didates. The fledgelinsrDracos lounged nervously
in the outer office, until summoned one by
one into tbe mysterious arcana behind the
folding doors, where the all powerful
examiners were enthroned. Suave Assistant
Attorney Alcorn flitted hither and thither
between the two rooms; now bringing
comfort to those who
awaited theib fate
without; now nerving the unfortunate who
suffered the pitiless rain of questions, io
greater constancy of purpose by his reassur
ing smile.
The examiners three in number, sat like
the three celestial judges of the ancients;
and looked so severe that one was forced to
think it impossible that they could ever
have passed a "preliminary themselves.
Tbey looked more as if thev had been
lawyers from their birth.
One by one the students filed in. Some
fidgeted nervously while under fire, others
carried themselves with a jaunty, self-3atis-
nea air; otners again stood the test with en
tire unconcern, appearing to regard the
whole affair as a tiresome duty which had to
be got through with somehow. Some of the
candidates went to grass on absurdly easy
questions.
The questions- covered a remarkably wide
field, and to have answered them all would
require good general knowledge. Oneyonth
was asked if he bad read United States his
tory. He replied, "I've read the history of
tbe world, and I guess the United States
comes in somewhere." In Latin tbe exami
nation consisted of sight translation from an
easy book of fables, and some
BATHER STIPF QUESTIONS
anent the conjugation of irregular verbs. One
student who made a really good showing,
and who had a fair knowledge of Latin, had
the misfortune to be asked to parse a chance
sentence in which there were five verbs all
irregular.
As each youth returned from tbe dread in
quisition cbamber he was surrounded by an
eager group and made to recount his experi
ences. Bits of general information were
bandied to and fro, and pencils and note
books were "thickas leaves in Vallambrosa."
One gentleman who had planted one foot
inside the awfnl door, turned and rushed
back to his friends, exclaiming: "Quick,
boys, tell me who wrote the 'Tale of a Tub.' "
The examination began at 7:35 P. m. and
lasted until close upon midnight. The re
sults will not be known until this afternoon.
The examiners were Attorneys Scott, Al
corn and McF. Carpenter. The number
of applicants for examination
was the
largest in four-years.
