THE SPORTIM HEWS OF THE DAT
President Nimick expressed himself fully
on the alleged offer of $1,000,000 for the
National Xeague clubs. He is ready to
take the cash. Manager Hanlon talks
about the matter. Catcher Farrell is ex
pected to sign with the Cleveland Brother
hood club. President Young gives s list of
all players signed with the National League
clubs.
' The announcement published in The
Dispatch yesterday to the effect that a
syndicate had offered $1,000,000 for the
franchises of all the National League clubs
caused quite a stir among local baseball
people. Opinions as to the genuineness of
the offer were exceedingly conflicting, and
the majority of the baseball patrons who
talked about the matter were to the effect
that the offer was more of a "bluff" than
anything else.
President Nimick talked quite interest
ingly about the matter last evening to a
representative of this paper. He said:
"Tbe offer is. indeed, a surprise to me. I
never heard a word about it until I learned of
it in to-day's Dispatch.
PITTSBUBG IS WILLING.
"Well, now I don' t know what to say about it;
that is speaking generally, bnt if there is any
syndicate who will jrjve us S10Q.000 for our club
that syndicate can have it. I always say that if
$100,000 have been offered for all tbe ten clubs
tbe offer should be accepted at once."
"If the offer was accepted would each club
want an equal share of tbe money?"
"I don't see why it should be otherwise. At
present I think that tbe Pittsburg club is just
as valuable as any other and certainly we
would not agree to accept any offer except we
received an equal share of the purchase money.
It also seems to me that if the offer is genuine
Indianapolis, Washington and Cleveland would
be quite ready to accept 5100,000 each for their
respective clubs."
IT MAT SOT BE BONA FIDE.
"But," continued Mr. Nimick, "it may be
that tbe offer has been made for a purpose; not
to buy the clubs, bnt to add a little more
trouble to tbe National League. Tbe offer is a
big one, and if it is refused then the cry will
go forth that there are immense fortunes in
baseball, and that the League magnates who
have been declaring that they have not made
money have been saying what is not true. Cer
tainly if a notion like this was to take root it
would do-tbe League considerable barm. To
do this may be the'object of those who are sup
posed to have offered tbe 1,000,000. Of course
there may at this stage of the warfare be many
reasons why such an offer would not be ac
cepted. Do I think tbe team clubs are worth
that amount of money? Well, now, when we
receive a direct inducement to sell I will talk
to those who want to purchase on that point
PBEDICTED FAILTJEES.
"I do think, however, that when the approach.
ing season finishes we will find that the new
clubs at Pittsburg, Cleveland, Buffalo and
Brooklyn have all been failures. Looking at
matters from this standpoint, the League clubs
are very valuable. However, I am not in a po
sition to say anything definite on tbe matter at
present, because I don't know whether or not
the offer in question has been made in good
faith. It it has been made with honest inten
tions then it becomes a very important feature
in the history of baseball and may cause some
of the most surprising changes all round. Bat
we must wait a few days and find out what
there is in it."
Other authorities conjectured that the offer
emanates from persons directly interested in
the new League, but this is denied by people
airectly interested in the latter. As above
statedbowerer, there is a strong opinion ex
isting to the effect that there is little or nothing
in the big offer.
scandkett's opinion.
Secretary Scanarett does not place much
credence in the aUeged offer, but yesterday he
said: "If we can get 100,001 for our own club
it will go, and we'll give 25,000 to tbe man who
gets us that amount. However, I must learn
more about it before Til believe it"
Manager Hanlon, of the local Flayers' club,
said: "Idon't know of anybody connected with
tbe Brotherhood wbo would think of giving
such a price for the League's ten clubs.
We will down them anyhow If any
such price has been offered tbe magnates will
be very silly if thev don't take it. I also think
that if any such offer has been made it is with
the understanding that tbe magnates will re
tire permanently from baseball. At any rate, I
wish it to be distinctly understood that we, the
Pittsburg Brotherhood club, are not seeking to
buy out any National League club. We are
here to fight the battle on its merits, and we'll
be winners."
THAT SYNDICATE ST0ET.
A Rumor That the Brotherhood Magnates
Are Bock of It.
lEPECU- TE-XORAX TO TBI DISrATCHl
New York, February 2S. The fact that a
syndicate has offered 1,000.000 for the National
Baseball League, as told in The Dispatch
to-day, caused no little surprise among the
baseball men in this city, and it was the gen
eral opinion that the Brotherhood is at the
back of the scheme. It is also thought that
could the Brotherhood bny out tbe National
League at the price named that it would be
much cheaper for them than to attempt to
down the League by opposition. Tbe leaders
in the movement couid not be seen to-day
owing to its being Sunday.
Buck Ewlng and Danny Richardson were in
town to-day and visited tbe new grounds of tbe
players' club in Harlem during tbe afternoon,
beveral of the backers of the club accom
panied En ing and Richardson. It was decided
to call the grounds tbe "Brotherhood Baseball
Grounds." Ewing will at once get his men to
gether, and within the next two weeks will
have tbem at practice. He is much pleased&t
tbe looks of the grounds and is confident of
their being a success. Two men will be en
gaged to look after the grounds and see that
they are kept in good order.
A reporter of The Dispatch asked Ewing
whether he ever intimated to Mr. Day that he
would treat with him regarding playing with
the New Yorks this season. "No word has
ever passed between us on tbe subject," was
the quick reply. "It is a little curious tome
how anybody could approach mo on that sub
ject after tne frequent announcements-have
made to me contrary, btui. out of respect to
President Day and Director Gordon, I met
(hose gentlemen by appointment and we had a
very pleasant time, I assure you. Mr. Day was
willing to give me $10,000 a year, but I refused
it and told bim I was with the players to stay."
Danny Richardson told a Dispatch reporter
that there would be no use of any man coming
to him to sign again with the New YorkLeague
club. He did not-tell President Dav or Direc
tor Appleton tbat be would sign with tbe Na
tional League if they could get Ewing and
Connor.
FAREELL FOR CLETELASD.
Al Johnson Alleged to Have Cnplnred the
Prominent Catcher.
rfrltCIAL TELEGRAM TO TBTt DISMTCTtl
CYAND,February 23. Yonr correspond
ent learned to-night that the Brotherhood club
in Cleveland is likely to be strengthened by the
addition of Farrell, of last year's Chicago team.
Farrell is a great favorite here, having been
more successful against the Cleveland pitchers
of last season than almost any other visiting
player. The effect of an icy wave straight off
the lake could scarcely have been more chilling
to the audiences than tbe presence of Farrell
at tbe bat with men on base in a close game.
Farrell will, if signed, be played every day,
alternating between tbe outfield and the
catcher's position.
It had been rumored that Mr. Johnson's new
catcher was to be either Meyers, of Buffalo, or
Miller, of Pittsburg, but the information given
abovexomes frcm a reliable source.

Washington, February 23. President

to date, from which it appears that Pittsburg
heads tbe list with 20 players signed, while the
New Yorks are last in the field with but three
names to their credit for 1890. In discussing
tbe clubs Mr. Young was not at all backward
in declaring that the Bostons never had such a
strong team in their history as the one with
which they will open the season, and the Chi
cagos are not far behind. Only one man is
badly wanted by the- Bostons.and that is Hardie
Richardson. According to President Young's

Nw Yobe, February 23. The excitement
among billiard players over Saturday night's
assignment of players for Monday at the tour
ney did not abate to-day. George F. Slosson
repeated with emphasis his assertion that he
would forfeit tbe afternoon game with Catton
unless tbe schedule was changed. He views
tbe assignment to play in the afternoon in the
light of a deliberate attempt to belittle him,and
complains that there is unfair discrimination
against him and a design to make much of
Schaefer. He says Mr. A. F. Troescher. of the
Brunswick Co.. is not a rjartv to it The blame.

says, lies wiw Mortimer -Lumpnreys, the
manager of the tonrnev.
Billy Catton kicked hard against the schedule
of games, too, but said that be would go ahead
and play as announced if the schedule was ad
hered to. He declared to play 1,000 points at a
time would be a terrible strain, but that he
consoled himself with the reflection that be
might live through it all. He added that "inas
much as the players bad agreed to submit to
the management of the tournament by
the Brunswick Company they really had
no sound reason for refusing to carry out tbe
agreement even if unreasonable things were
demanded of them by tbe management TJp
to II o'clock to night no news had been re
ceived at Slosson's of a change of the schedule.

little exercise. Cal was seen by a reporter of
The Dispatch, and said: "In regard to

REAGAN WEAKENB.

John Quinn received information from Jack
Fogarty yesterday to the effect that Reagan
now refuses to fight him. fogarty, at any
weight above 154 pounds. Originally it was in
tended tbat Fogarty and Reagan fight at 158
pounds for a purse offered by a New York
club. Reagan now demands that tbe limit be
reduced to 151 pounds and tbat Fogarty put up
a forfeit of $300 as a guarantee that he will be

It is hardly likely that Fogarty will accept
the very unfair conditions of Reagan. While

THE B0IC0TT A LEG18LAT1TE WJ3AP0H,
According to the Leader of the American Federation of
Labor.
The New York Central Labor Union is
divided upon the question of the eight-hour
movement It will assist in the prepa
rations, however. President Gompers is
confident of ultimate success. He thinks
that there will be no general strike.
rewtcTAL teleobam to the sispatc.i
New York, February 23. The Central
Labor Union discussed for three hours to
day a proposition to contribute $50 toward
the big eight-hour meeting in Cooper Union
to-morrow night It appeared from their
talk that a large number of the delegates
were opposed to a work day of eight hours
because, they say, it would be impossible
for them to get it They said that they did
not believe that any otherworkingmen could
get it, either. It was finally decided to give
the $50 and attend the mass meeting.
The subject of the inauguration of the
eight-hour day is now the all-absorbing one
in labor circles. Samuel Gompers, Presi
dent of the American Federation of Labor,
was visited by The Dispatch correspond
ent, and questioned as to ihe outlook. He
said:
encouragixg prospects.
"I think the prospects are very encour
aging indeed. From letters coming to the
office from all the trades, there is evidently
a decided intention among working peo
ple to demand a reduction of the
hours of labor on May 1, and in Beveral
trades there will be a reduction to eight
hours a day. The policy of the Federation
has been to name the trade and the locality
which shall make the demand. Other
trades and localities will not take their turn
until the eight-hour work day shall be the
rule in this country, as it has been in Aus
tralia for tbe last 25 years. I do not wish
to be understood to say that if there are
other trades in the Federation that desire to
make the demand, they will be held back or
discouraged. Bnt there will be one trade
selected by the Federation to make that de
mand, and the trade bo selected will receive
the first financial assistance of the Federa
tion,now comprising over 600,000 members.
Onr entire influence and power will first be
concentrated on this one trade and locality.
I have reason to believe that the eight-hour
work day will not have to meet the opposi
tion that many persons have feared. I have
received many letters from men of affairs
abd public men in favor of this movement
It was a remarkable fact that so influential
a body as tbe Association of Builders which
recently met at St Paul was not unfavor
able to 'it"
NO GENERAL STRIKE PBOBABLE.
"Do you think there will be a general
strike on the 1st of May?"
"No. I believe that all that will be nec
essary will be for the demand to be made in
proper form and it will be granted. It may
be that there will be a cessation of work to
some extent, for the reason that some em
ployers are brimful of the old-fashioned
ideas as to the effect of a reduction ot the
hours ot labor. They look upon it as a sur
render of the control of their business to
the working people."
-'Do you think it possible to establish the
eight-hour work day uniformly, notwith
standing that in some occupations the phys
ical exertion and the amount of skill re
quired is much greater than in others?
Compare, for instance, the waiter and the
carpenter, the cab driver and the machinist
Is it feasible to make the hours of labor the
same in all trades and occupations?"
"I believe that the eight-lour working
day should prevail in all occupations. The
question of the different amounts of exer
tion and skill required relates to the com
pensation that should be paid for the day's
work."
"Has the Federation decided upon which
trade it will concentrate its forces on
May 1?"
the selection not made.
"It has not Last November a circular
was issued to the various organizations all
over the country asking for information as
to the stand they would take and what re
quirements they should have in case a de
mand was made. This action was based on
the action of the convention with reference
to the determination of the selection of one
trade. Since the meeting of the convention
there has been extensive correspondence
with the various organizations, and there
have been some conferences between them
and our committee. At the last meeting of
the council, on February 7, it was deter
mined to issue a circular calling for the
latest information, in order to decide which
trade should begin the demand for eight
hours. When these reports are all in the
ecntive Committee will be in a position
come to a definite conclusion."
"Do you think strikes are increasing or
iminishing in number?"
"They are diminishing, and will continue
to dimisb. They will be used only on ex
traordinary occasions. The fact is that
ldbor organizations are getting stronger all
thte time. They have accumulated funds to
be) used in V time of need. The Ameri
can Federation of Labor is composed of
trades unions that prefer to get along with
out strikes. They have learned by bitter
experience that the only means to prevent
strikes is thorough organization and full
treasuries of the unions. This alone will
controi the unfair employer, who will hesi
tate before he provokes a strike among
those wbo are thoroughly prepared to op
pose ni;
ANOTHER FEATURE.
On the other hand, the unions that
have fuil treasuries will -be more careful of
entering! into a strike than those who have
no treasury and nothing to lose. We do not
want to est a capitalist at every meal, but
we do want to have some potent method of
enforcing onr just demands. People are
getting to understand that the workers, as
the producers of the wealth of the world,
are entitled! .to receive, and will insist upon
receiving, o lair share of the products of
their labor, land a larger share than they
have received heretofore. The worker!
have noticed! tbat although the application
of electricity nd steam and other forces to
the improvement of the industrial wealth of
the weld have been going on, the burden
of the laborerhas become more onerous and
large numbers have been thrown out of
employment 1 We believe that the reduc
tion of the hours of labor will furnish em
nlovment to sojne of these men.
"How about) tbe numbers of unezn
ployed?"
"In 1885, Commissioner Wright reported
tbe number ot unemployed at neanv a mil
lion. The number has certainly not de
creased -since that time. Surely to make
room for these, to give employment to ni'eh
who are walking A tbe streets, seems to he
worthy the best efforts of the working people
and of the consideration ot the employing
ciass.
THE CONTRACX LABOR LAW.
"Our condition wouVd be very different if
the alien contract law should be enforced as
the tariff laws are enforced. There would
then be no more difficulty in excluding
laborers wbo come over here by contract
than there would be to prevent smuggling
of dutiable goods. Look tot the child labor
hill. Is there any attempt to enforce it as it
should be? Go out into tbs street any morn
ing and you will see plenty! of very young
cnuoren going to wort.
"How about labor statistics?
"There is great improvement in the
method of collecting statistics. We now
have reports from 13 States. The effect is
to make people familiar with our cause and
to get them to examine our condition. When
people mix with us and learn the truth
they will come to the conclusion that our
side is the just one."
"As to arDitration, how is that progress
ing?" inquired the reporter.
"The working people look upon arbitra
tion as a thing that ought to be voluntary
and not compulsory. The very term arbi
tration implies that there shall be two par
ties with conflicting interests submitting to
disinterested judgment I believe that ar
bitration can only be successful when the
working people are thoroughly organized.
with power to inflict injury as -well with
susceptibility of receiving it
perfect equality necessary.
"To have fair arbitration the workmen
must stand on a perfect equality with their
employer;. I think that conciliation is
taking the place of arbitration. I mean
that committees of both the employed and
employers meet for the purpose of talking
matters over and redressing real or imagined
grievances. Some people want to look
upon tljis as an unwarranted interference
with the business of the employers. But, as
a matter of fact, it is simply representation
by counsel. Those men who are generally
selected are those who have given the sub
ject special consideration, and are the best
qualified to talk with employers."
"What are the prospects for co-operation?"
"Very remote. There is no such con
dition of things here tbat there was in En
gland to promote the establishment of co
operative stores, which at first were an im
mense saving to the workingnien. There"
has been, therefore, no such extensive at
jtempt to introduce co-operation for con
sumption here. -There has also been but a
slight eflort to organize co-operation for pro
duction. We are satisfied that the effort of
tbe trades union movement so far in this
country has been to benefit both employer
and employed. The unions are stronger
and the employers are better served than
ever. There is no danger to anyone from
the organization of labor and benefit to
all."
THE BOYCOTT ALL EIGHT.
"How about boycotts?"
"I believe in the boycott as a potent
weapon to be used only with the very great
est care, and never without absolutely suffi
cient cause."
"Is it not unlawful to boycott?"
"I think not. I believe that what it is
perfectly legal for anv one person to do it is
perfectly legal for another person or any
number of persons to do. I believe that
if this should be properly tested on its mer
its the higher conrts would not uphold the
lower courts in their construction of the law.
What I mean by a boycott is a refusal to
purchase or to deal with, or to associate with
another. I some cases the union has im
posed fines. In do not believe the anion
should be sustained in such & course, but I
do believe in the right of a citizen to boycott
whomsoever he pleases."

HIS RELEASE POSTPONED.
The Toons' Dnko of Orleans Hopes Meet
With a Dinnppolntmcnr.
Paris, February 23. The leaking out of
the Government's intention .to release the
Duke of Orleans caused the Radicals in
the Chamber of Deputies to propose
that immediate amnesty be granted to
all persons found guilty of strike offenses
during the past decade. The proposal was
carried by the vote of 221 to 182, and will
be the first subject for discussion to-morrow.
It is expected that the proposal will cause
great excitement, and that the Government
will oppose the motion.
In the meantime it is probable that the
Duke of Orleans will be removed to the
prison at Blave, Cironde. The young Duke
evidently expected an immediate release,
having settled his restaurant and other bills.

The Bone of Contention Among
Washington Seal Estate Agents.
FAILURE CERTAIN TO RESULT
Unless
the 'Site is Selected With the
Greatest of Secrecy.
RED TOP AS A SPECULATIVE FEATURE.
People Who Bought Property In That Vicinity iy
to Lose Honey.
' The bill in Congress to build a summer
home for the President has greatly excited
Washington real estate agents. The battle
for the site will be a vigorous one. Similar
schemes have been killed before by such
contests.
ISPXCIAI. TELIOHAM TO TBB DISPATCH.!
Washington, February 23. The real
estate speculators in Washington are thrown
into considerable excitement by the move
ment that is on foot to erect a summer resi
dence for the President. Should a bill pro
viding for a Presidental home during tbe
heated term pass Congress, it is quite likely
that the contest between the real estate
owners and speculators will be so bitter
that the residence would never be built.
An instance of the power which these
men have in controlling the matter of sites
for public building is shown in the history
of an attempt to get anew postoffice build
ing for the city of Washington. The post
office in this city does an immense amount
of business in the course of a year, and the
necessity for a large.convenient and accessi
ble building is as great as in any city
in the United States; yet the Government
now rents for tbe purpose of the postoffice a
building that is nothing more than a rick
ety old rat trap, dangerous to the health of
the employes, who are compelled to remain
in It several hours a day, an eye-sore to
the city, and an annoyance to everybody
who has business which compels them to go
to it
the reason :for it.
The only reason why a new building is
not erected is that Congress cannot agree
upon a site. Whenever one is chosen the
friends ot all other sites combine against it
and knock the proposed law into smithereens.
At least a dozen times a bill providing for
the erection of a new city postoffice has
passed one or the other Houses of Congress,
but has never passed them both at one ses
sion because the real estate sharks would not
allow it to.
Every Postmaster General for the past ten
years has attempted to get a new building
and a dozen official reports have been made
as to tbe nnhealtbfulness and -danger of the
dingy old hole where the city mails are now
handled, but so impossible is it to agree
upon the site for the new building that a
lease for the old one has just been made for
a term of five years more. The fate of a
bill to erect a summer executive mansion
would probably be much the same.
When President Cleveland was induced
to buy a house out in the country, the real
estate speculators took advantage of the
fact to boom suburban property in that
direction, until now there are several miles
of unoccupied lands laid out in the direc
tion of the Cleveland house outside the city,
and the price is up to the highest notch.
THE WORE OP SPECULATORS.
The plan of the real estate operators was
to buy all the property on the two main
roads leading out from the city toward Bed
top, plat them into city lots and sell them at
a nigh figure. This they did, and there are
now imaginary villages all the
way from the boundary line
of tbe city to the neignborhood
of the Cleveland summer villa- The specu
lators have sold the greater portion of the
lots to small purchasers who bought them
for the purpose of erecting homes. Very
few houses have been built on this land,
however, and it will probably be some time
before this region becomes the center of the
city's population.
Should a bill pass Congress now to give
the President a snmmerhome he would prob
ably be compelled' to select a site privately
some dark night or run the risk 'of being
eaten alive by the real estate operators.
Should he succeed in selecting a place, or
should Congress do it for him, the boom in
suburban property would take a start in the
direction of the new mansion, and "Cleve
land Heishts" and Bedtou would be left in
the larch, together with all the unhappy
individuals who purchased at high prices
town lots out in the country.
FOUND HEE IN A POOE HOUSE.
How fcblp Owner Enston's Senrch for His
Sister Wo Rewarded.
Delaware, O., February 23. James
Easton, of Brooklyn, N. Y who is said to
.own steamboat lines between New York and
Albany and New York and Philadelphia,
came here a couple of weeks ago to look
up a sister of whom he had heard
nothing in years. To his great surprise, he
was directed to the County Foorhouse,
where he found his sister nursing her dying
husband, John Blinn. For five years the
couple have been inmates of the poorhouse.
Easton wanted to take the couple to Brook
lyn at once, where, in his handsome home,
all their wants could be fully supplied and
tender care given them. Mrs. Blinn, how
ever, refused to leave her husband, who was
too ill to be moved, and after supplying her
with money Mr. Easton sadly returned to
his home.
Mr. Blinn, who was 84 years old, quietly
passed away on Friday night. His iuneral
took place to-day. He and his wife settled
in Ohio many years ago and once owned a
large farm. Owing to circumstances over
which they had no control they became re
duced to a condition of abject poverty.
Mrs. Blinn bad lost her brother's address,
and having no one else to appeal to was
forced to take her infirm spouse to the poor
house. .Mrs. Blinn, after the funeral to-day, said
she was now ready to go to her brother's
home in Brooklyn. Superintendent ot the
Poor Coynerat once communicated with
Mr. Easton and lie will leave with Mrs.
Blinn for the East on Monday.
ALL WASHINGTON LADGHED.
The
Gullibility of the Hnbltea Greatly
Amased Ihe People.
Washington-, February 23. All Wash
ington is laughing at the gullibility of the
social lions ot Boston, who fostered the soi
distant nobleman, Count Zubof. The ex
posure of the swindle was eagerly read, and
in several literary circles the exclamation
was: "Poor Howell; another of his lions
turns out a black sheep."
Nobody enjoyed reading the story better
than Baron liosen, the Charge d'Affaires of
the Eussian Legation here. The Baron was
all smiles when the World correspondent
called at the lecatiotrthis evening.
"The Zubofs of Bussia are certainly very
good people," he said, "but I don't think
any of them have ever been in this country.
I feel certain that none of tbem is here now.
About tbe person who has been masquerad
ing in Boston I cannot say anything, ex
cept that if a member ot the Zubof family
had been in Boston so long we at this lega
tion would have known of it"

LOVE'S YOUNG DEEAM
Rudely Dispelled by the Action of the Harsh
PnrenU A Surprise Taut Failed to
Have the Desired EOrer.
Norwich, Conn., February 23. An ex
tremely queer hymeneal performance was
that recently of Eddie Hatnrin, a 19-year-old
Putnam lad, and Eddia Plant, a 14-year-old
maiden of the same ambitious vil
lage. That Edward and Eddia loved each
other had been a wide-open secret in Put
nam since the ten-days' fair in the
village in January. Bat the Barents of
both children, after Edward had pro
posed marriage, would not humor their
matrimonial intentions, and sternly tola
them to go to school and let well enough
alone. With characteristic Connecticut in
genuity, however, young Haturin thoucht
out a scheme, whereby he felt sure he could
twist the stream of love about the parental
snag and win bis bride with one bold master
stroke. He arranged a climax for one night
that he believed would both surprise and
please the old folks at borne, and it struck
Miss Eddia, who was apprised of his plan,
that she could afford to agree to any enter
prise on the part of a lover who had as big a
head as Edward seemed to have. She
agreed.
One night not long ago Eddie, after
supper, told his mother "he guessed he'd go
out and spend the evenin', or "mebbe he
might bring home a friend to spend the
night with him;" so he would like to have
his younger brother, who had heen in the
habit of sleening with him, take a bed in
another chamber. To the proposition his
mother said "all right," and Edward went
away. Horning came, breakfast was nearly
ready and Mrs. Maturin stepped to the
chamber door and screamed up the stair
case to Eddie.
Not many minutes later the youth came
buoyantly down the stairs, a lighter footfall
following his own, threw open the stairway
door, stepped out into the bosom of the
family in the kitchen, then paused, and
the family dumb with amazement, beheld
Miss Eddia Plant, now Mrs. Edward
Maturin, trip forth from behind Edward,
who at once introduced tke young lady as
his wife. The surprise was out, and it3
effect on the parents the 'young man saw at
once he had not overestimated; but the old
folks didn't seemed to be pleased. At first
they were speechless; then wrath reigned,
and has continued to reign since, Eddia was
was sent home after breakfast, and Edward
is in durance. The parents of both are
