13 AULD GRETNA GREEN. Visit to a Spot Celebrated in Scottish Sons and Story. THOUSANDS OP RUN A WAT COUPLES Including Koted Members of Aristocracy Harried There. AN ODD OLD MAX KOW THE BISHOP ICOKSESFOXDEXCE Or THE DIEPJLTCH.I Gretna Green, Scotland, August 12. I had tramped oyer the once great mail road frou Carlysle to Glasgow, from Eccle fechan, where Thomas Carlysle was born find lies buried, toward the border to Gretna Green. So far as human eyes could discern, cot a soul had housing within its half dozen ruinous habitations. Not a youthful or wrinkled face pressed against tiny win dow pane as I passed. No dirty children skulked like grouse in and out of the pleas ant hedges. Not even the snarl of a watch ful cur contributed to the fact of arrival, or conveyed a sense of welcome. X kicked bravely at a few doors, without even awakening an echo. "Where echo is dead it is silent indeed, I reflected, as I broke into the old kirkyard. I could not force the door of the kirk itself. Then I prowled about the ivy-covered manse behind. Here lived, I knew, one ol those remnants of a half-dead and altogether breathless eccle siastic system the Established Church of Scotland, expiring fro in a tracslusion of re ligious blood and life into the vigorous joung Free Church a parish minister; but evidently he, too, was past awakening. Then I sauntered among the graves. There was at least interest, if not life, here. That extraordinary pnpst of Hymen, the first "Bishop of Gretna," he who had defied balls of popes, bullyingsof lord chancellors, and edicts of kings, fat old brandy-guzzling Joseph Paisley, lies here, and the path to his humble grave-stone is worn deeper than to that of purest life, or of highest title, who is commoner in the same last mold. His successors as "priests" of the irregular Gret na marriages are buried near; and their headstones are also shrines for the curious I could not but reflect that could all the coudIcs, or the descendants of all the thou sands of couples, in England and Scotland, that these three men joined together, unite in visiting the graves of those to whom they owed their connubial joys or miseries, what a wonderful pilgrimage it would be. Why, the old coach road Mould be massed with folk, a score abreast, away back over the Sark and Esk to Carlisle. There would be lords and earls and real bishops and even prelates among them too! A. WONDERFUL NOSE. Loitering outside the wall for a final glimpse of the drear and grass-grown place, I at last became conscious of pretence. Turning, I saw a nose of wondrous propor tions with a mau of no proportionsat all be hind it. The man stood motionless but the nose seemed possessed of life. It gently swayed pendulum-like in the August breeze, aslf in compensation of all else dead and still at Gretna. The man was old and humped, and was clad in that beautiful cur tailed garb of the British postman, with the skirts at the waist, ttie waist at the shoul ders and the cufis at the elbows, with a straight-visored cap like a truncated dunce's cap, and the whole, wrinkling and concen tering skyward. fell in beside him with civil gretting, and we trudged on together down the long street into Springfield. The old lellow seemed still 5n deep study. He would not walk beside me. As we reached the edge of the village the sides of the old rauish.ickle houses were fringed with sullen lookinj hind-, filthy and wrangling chil dren and old dames with short skirts and "mutch" caps yellow with age and dirt; and all these uncanny oik, first eyeing the old man and then myself, indulged in shrngs and derisive smiles that were disquieting in deed. There were two inns, the Kings Arms and the Maxwell Arms, equally forbidding and vile; and I chose the latter at the old man's recommendation, as it was the fiest reached. Its proprietor was a veritable Meg Jlerrilies of a woman, and the ground floor, chiefly riven over to drunken orgies and reeking with filth, was crowded with plowmen, herdsmen and tramps in various stages of stupor or elation. All of these seemed to regard myself and my companion in the light ot such a hilariously fortunate ar rival, that not until I had paid a reckoning for two-score thirsty Scotch gullets could I avoid sundry demonstrations which savored overmuch of hustling and secure the seclu sion of a must-, dark and vermin-filled room, lurnins to close the door, the wnst flutiering hands and the oger-Iike face of the old man prevented. "Noo, waur ye seekin' the meenester?" he asked with an uncannv leer. "The ministei?" "Ob, aye the meenester o' Gretna." 2s'o, only those who were dead; whatever I could find out about them, and perhaps the old Gretna records, it they were to be dis covered; I managed to explain. "Mt.un be ycr'e seekin' onv pertceklar ains?" "Oh, no, my good man; simplv anything of general interest" "Oh, aye." Then a long pause with that glitter ot calculation flashing diabolically Horn those specks of green eyes; and sud denly, while his shriveled old'hands rubbed nervously tugether: "Its no wantin' the rec ord, ye're seekin'?" I subsequently well understood the old wretch's meaning. At that moment I did not But it flashed over me that he was an old man; a postman; had probably always lived at Springfield and Gretna; might be very serviceable in assistiug in mv investi-rations;.-uid I asked him plainly ii he could be; to which, alter a long time regarding me wiiuaiookoi incrcauii ty, suspicious cuu ning and POSITIVELY PITEOUS GEEED, he solemnly asserted that he was the only man living lhat could give any one of an inquiring turn of mind complete informa tion upon the subject of Gretna marriages; which he would do if I would join him on the morrow at bis own house, the third from the Sark bridge "if there's siller ahint it!" he concluded, almost savagely. I assured him there was a reasonable amount "of sil ver hehind" whatever he e-ould do for me, whereupon the old wretch went his wav. Just 100 years ago this village of Spring field was built bv Sir William Maxwell. The necessity of the place had its origin in the marriage trade o. Gretna, which became so popular under its originator, Joseph Pais ley, that Maxwell's own residence at the old village was transtormed into an inn, and this in a little time was so overcrowded that other accommodations had to be provided. The Kings Arms, across the way trom the Max well Arms, in which I am writing, by 1800 had become the most famous posting "estab lishment in the two kingdoms. From Pais ley's marnace of the Cumberland, Englaud, couple in 1771, as chronicled in my last arti cle, to the time of his death, in 1814, it is computed that the trjffic brought annually to urema anu opnngueia .iu,uuu in lets, expenses of those who pursued runaway English couples, outlay of lurristers who visited the places to establish proof of marriage, other barristers who came for clients who hoped to find lack of proof, the curious who were attracted by the extraordinary character of the place, and from tne general recklessness and ex travagance on every hand where marriage fees from runaway English common folk, gentry and nobility ranged from 500 to 100 guineas, as thev did, with any amount ot the "yellow stuff" for the hordes of "wiN nesses," handy-men and satraps who lived permanently at tic inns, filled the rude cottages, or swarmed like harpies about the then busy stable-yards. The present owner of the estate on which Springfield stands is Sir John Maxwell, the third Sir John, of the descendants ot Sir William Maxwell He lives in London, renting the estate de mesne at Springkell, some seven miles dis tant, to Lord Antrim, now here for his fourth year, as a shooting-box for grouse shootin; and a summer residence, at 2,000 a year. THE WRETCHED HABITATIONS. of the now woebegonejvillage, originally par celed oat on 99-year leases which are just now expiring, at the present time are based at an average annnal rental of but 5 per year, and house a most miserable population. So much for the Tillage, whose eastern end is but a few rods ironjjthe boundary line be tween England and Scotland, at the old stone bridge across the Sark, where the olden Gretna marriages were consummated, many times in less than 30 seconds, and indeed where they were often performed at the bridse-end'itsclf, with old Paisley running alongside the thundering coach with its toaming horses, so close had been pursuit Tracing the successors of Paisley, I find that their line was established in this wise. High living, half a gallon ot brandy daily, and frequent debauches when gallons of cognac would be nightly consumed, Drought Paisley, a mass of fat and corruption weigh ing 400 pounds, to his grave in 18J4. For some little time before his death his physic al joys and nfflictions compelled him to delegate his offices to other and younger hands. The fortunate man was one David Laing, a canny Ulster Irishman, and a pack peddler, who had married Paisley's granddaughter. No one disputed the legiti macy of the succession, as David Laing had both a hard fist and character; and though rivals occasionally intercepted a trifle of the traffic, he controlled itsoefiectuallyandgave itsuch eclat thaton his death in 1827 having caught a fatal cold on his visit to Lancaster, England, to give evidence at the trial of Lord Wakefield, who was indicted, con victed and punished by two years' impris onment for the abduction of his betrothed, their marriage having been celebrated at Gretna his memory was thus perpetuated by Thomas Hood: Sleep David Laing! sleep In peace, though angry governesses spurn thee! Over thy grave a thousand maidens weep. Ana mmest post-ooys mourn tueei Sleep, David! safely and sereiiply sleep, lienept by many a learned legal eye! To see the mold above thee in a neap. Drowns many a lid that heretofore was dry; Especially of those that, plunging deep In love, would "ride and tiel" Haa 1 command, thou should'st have gone thy wajs In chaise and pair and lain in Pere la ChAse! The third "Bishop of Gretna," Simon Lain?, son of "auld Davie," inducted him self into office immediately after his father's death, and continued the Gretna marriage business until his own death in 1871, a fact not generally known, withaconstautmcreasc of tne traffic until 1S56. In this year, by permissiou of Scottish Representatives in the British Parliament, an act was passed making civil contract marriace impossible in Scotland unless one of the contracting parties became a resident of Scotland for 21 days immediately preceding marriage. With this modification the old law stands intact But the prevailing idea, which exists even in Scotland, that Gretna marriages were thus abolished is totally incorrect, as to my amazement was discovered on my visit to the old postman. THE BISHOP OF GRETNA. There I found not the ogre in bine and red. but a venerable old wretch ot 68 years, with white locks, great horned spectacles half-hidden behind that wonderful nose, and his weazened form clad in a threadbare suit of clerical black, whose name was William Laing. This mau is the fourth "Bishop of Gretna," having succeeded his father on the death of the latter in 1871; and who, in ad dition to his services to Her Majesty as postman of Springfield and Gretna Green at "seven shillin' saxpence the week," is con tinuing the Gretna service to runaway En glish couples who overcome the 21-day resi dence restriction without difficulty, to this very day; receiving, as he himself informed me, as little as 10 shillings and as much as 10 as marriage fee. The unique character sat in sacerdotal slate by a greasy dealtable beside the one little window of bis cottage, impatiently awaiting my Arrival ) for was there not "siller ahint it?" One arm rested upon a pile of ancient leather covered record books. At his feet was a stout oaken box with a tremendous padlock. Standing, or rather teetering about thel niinuie oi me room, was tne oia man s wile; deal for 38 years, her voice faded to a pathetic falsetto gurgle, and her face and thin old lorm suggesting some ghostly white field flower trembling in the wind-whipped autumn of its life. The old man was fiercely grave and dignified. The old woman was all feeble smiles, swaying salaams, soft and piteous cacklings. For four hours' time I was busied in examination ol the musty records ot this marital curiosity shop. First, the oaken box was opened. This contained the original records, now scarcely more than a mass of shreds, but still legible, and, on innumerable occasions, worth in Scottish and English courts far more than their weight in gold. Then the transcript record books were examined. These place at a glance in chronological order every marriage recorded as pcrtormed by Paisley and the three Laings, down to the present time. The first marriage was that of John Edgar with Jean Scott, in 1771. The last one, celebrated in this very cottage by AVillianiLaing, May 29, 1890, was ot Thomas Beattie, Parish of Bewcastle. County Cumberland, England, with Mary McGregor, Parish of Gretna, Dumfries-shire Scotland, involving certifi cation of the Scottish 21-day residence. LORDS ON THE LIST. The records comprise nearly 8,000 mar riages; inclnding such noted members of the English aristocracy and nobility as Thomas, Lord Erseiue, with Sarah Buck; Edward Conroy with Lady Alicia Parsons, daughter of the Earl of Boss; John George Lampton, grandfather of the present Lord Durham, with Miss Cholmundlev; Edward Gibbon, Lord Wakefield, with Ellen Turner, tor which Lord Wakefield suffered two years' imprisonment; and Lord George William Coventry, with MaryBeauclaire. Of these, Joseph Paisley, in 43 years' time, performed about 2,300; David Laing, during the next 13 years, 1,000; Simon Laing, between 1827 and 1871, about 3,100; and William Laing, postman, during the past 19 vears, between COO and 700. It was a strange and weird experience this, at the cottage of William Laing, port man and "meenester," at Gretna Green. Bnt I give fair warning to all who come after me that they will not only find the genuine records attesting Gretna's fame, but that, while enjoying the studies of one of the most extraordinary characters in Scotland, they will also expeiience at departure, from the rapacious and almost fiendish levy of "siller ahint it," illustration of the apothe osis of the drunken thrift, savage ignorance and aggressive avarice, such as the pen of the greatest master of delineation in fiction and fact has never yet been wholly able to depict Edoak L.

The firemen and citizens of Chester will do all that is possible to entertain the visiting firemen. The programme consists of busi ness session each day, with pleasure events interspersed. There will be a grand fire men's parade, which promises to surpass all previous parades in this State since the great parade of the Philadelphia Yolunteer Department, October 16, 1865, when Davy M. Lyle was chief. There will also be an extensive exhibition of all the latest im proved apparatus and appliances for the ex tinguishment of fires and exhibition tests made of the same.

Tbe eighteenth annual convention of the National Association of Fire Engineers was held at Detroit last week, with some 110 chiefs from all sections of the country in at tendance. Pennsylvania, which heretofore always had a good representation at these conventions, this year was represented by but one man, Chief C. . Bundell, of Sharon. The members of the association from this State are Chiefs S. N. Evans, of Pittsburg; Bernard Bosch, of Titusville; W. C. Meyers, of Sharpsburg, and Fred E. Windsor, of Warren. This convention was eminently a successful one, and productive of much good, Tbe convention next year will be held at Springfield, Mass. The officers for the en suing year are: President, Chief James Battle, of Detroit; Vice Presidents, one from each State; Secretary, H. A..Hillj, Cincin nati; Treasurer, Chief D. C. Larkin, Day ton, O. There is considerable opposition in Mas sachusetts to the convention going to Sprinfield next year, because of unfriendli ness to the chief. Chief Walter B. White, of York, is one of the youngest, handsomest and most progressive chiefs In this state. He is 34 years of age, and is very popular both in and out of the department. The chiefs' association lost a valuable member during the last vear iu the death of Hon. B. Bryson McCool, of Pottsville," wno was oiten its presiding officer and its leader in debate. With ex-Chief John S. Damnell.of Boston, and Wm. Stockell, of Nashville, Tenn., he was one of the ablest chiefs the country ever produced. Superintendent Shaw, of the Under writers Fire Patrolof Baltimore, is 68 years of age, and has been an active fireman for a half century. Chief A. C. Hendricks, of New Haven, Conn., has been chief of that department for 25 consecutive years, and Chief James Battles, of Detroit, has seen 28 years as chief of that department Engine Mouse Gossip.

Ho is Prepared to Knock Onf tho Poor Farm Inlnnetlon. City Solicitor Horeland stated yesterday that his answer to the application for an in junction to restrain the ciW from selling the Poor Farm property is ready, and he is prepared to argue the case on three hours' notice. He will probably ask the Court to day to appoint a date for a hearing of the application, and says there 'is no doubt in his mind but the applicants for the lnjauc tton will be knocked out. Attorney carpenter threatens to hie a bill in equity to restrain tbe city from pur chasing the Stewart property, and gives as his reasons that the city has no power to pur chase ground for a farm outside Allegheny county. In regard to the matter City At torney JUoreland said: "My opinion is that the bill rests on the total misapplication of the law. The act of Assembly upon which it is founded from beginning to end is one relating exclusively to the powers and duties ot the Guardians of the Poor in cities of the second class. Other legis lation on which the city is acting is wholly overlooked or ignored. It is believed by men whose ability scarcely need be ques tioned, that tbe Hoard of uuardiaus ot tbe Poor of Pittsburg, ceased to exist two years ago. It must be perfectly obvious that no attempt is being made by any Board of Guardians of this city to buy 'real estate. If the board still had corporate existence the point is well taken. The act of Assem bly says the Councils of second class cities shall have full power to purchase real estate and erect such buildings as are necessary for the maintenance of the poor, and says noth ing about the purchase being made within certain limits or within the county." HE PELL SIXTY FEET. SlgtimnMl Low Went Down, But lie Came Up la Good Farm. Sigismund Low the venerable Civil En gineer of the Baltimore and Ohio Boad, bad a fall of GO feet in SchenleyPark, yesterday, but outside of rubbing the bark off one of his legs he was uninjured. He was survey ing a sidetrack in the park for the Junction road, and asked one of his men to hold a pole for him over a projecting rock. The fellow was timid aud asked to be excused. This aroused old Sigismund, and he did it himself, but the rock gave way and lowered him as above described. His companions thought surely he had met his fate.and rushed to the bottom, where they were surprised to find him musing as follows: "It takes an old man to show these Pittsburg boys, who are so afraid, what can be done. I suppose I am too tough to be killed. You see fellows, lam all right," and as soon as tbey could recover from the shockjhis assistants joined in tbe laugh with the old man. GOOD PLATE GLASS MABKET.

STUKDAT, 'SEPTEMBER ANOTHER BILL FILED. Three Petitions Likely to Go to Court to Stop tbe Poor Farm Deal. NO APPROPRIATION TO BUI IT Is the Claim Kow Made to Stop the Stewart End of thi Easiness. GIST OP TfESTfiRDAl'S- C0DET HEWS Another bill to restrain the city from making the Poor Parm deal, was filed in Court yesterday. If Attorney Carpenter's petition is filled to-day this will make three separate and distinct bills to enjoin the city from carrying the matter through. The bill is filed by Charles L. Straub and such other citizens and taxpayers who may join him against tbe city of Pittsburg, H. L Gour- ley, Mayor; K. C. Elliot. Chief of the De partment of Charities; E. S. Morrow, Con troller, and H. S. A. Stewart. The bill is to restrain the city from purchasing the Stewart farm for a poor farm. The city, it was stated by ordinance of July 12, 1890, ordained that the Chief of the Department of Charities advertise for proposals for a larm to be used for the maintenance of the poor of the city. Proposals were received by the Controller, the following offers being made: Black & Baird, 400 acres at $575 per acre; same, 300 acres at $600 per acre; J. W. Kemlor, 210 acres at $800 an acre; J. W. Echols, attorney, 295 acres at $300 per acre; J. T. Hoey, 250 acres at $600 per acre; S. H. A. Stewart, 267 acres at $700 an acre. OUT OP THE COUKTT. The Stewart tract of land is in "Westmore land county. The total sum asked was S18G.00O. On A-dgust 4 a majority of the Board of Awards selected the Stewart farm and their action was approved by Councils. The action of Councils, however, it was as serted, was not presented to the Mayor for bis approval, us required by law, and is therefore null and void. After tbe reading of the proposals, and before the Stewart farm was decided upon, other parties offered tracts of land as well suited as the Stewart farm and at much lower figures, but the de fendants refnsed to visit or examine it,.say ing the offers were too late. Further, he continued, 700 an acre was an exorbitant price for the Stewart farm, and $300 or $400 per acre would be more than its value. The land is barren and of poor aualitv. and has been exhausted through poor and improper cnltiration. All money in the city treasury, it was continued, were specially appropriated by ordinance for the fiscal year, and no money has been appropriated by ordinance fox the purchase of these lands. Under the law it is required to appropriate money in January or February of each year. If the revenue shall exceed the expenditures the surplus shall be paid yito the sinking fund. NO APPE0PBIATI0N FOE IT. By the terms of the agreement the pur chase money for the Stewart farm is to be paid in cash on the delivery of the deed. At the time of the passage of the ordinance of July 12 there was no appropriation in the city treasury for the payment of this pur chase money, and no money applicable to such payment; therefore any contract or purchase made under the said ordinance is beyond the power of the city and is illegal and void. The city also has no power to purchase land or extend Its jurisdiction out- Blue ui lis lerrnuriai Hums. The defendants, it is stated, are abont to accept the deed from Stewart and pay him the money. It is asked, therefore, that the court decree that the-ordinance of July 12, 1890, and the action of the Board of Awards and Select and Common Council is illegal and void; that the city has no power to pur chase or hold land outside of its territorial limits.-and that the contract with Stewart is illegal and void. An injunction is also asked for to prevent the payment of $186,000 to Stewart or the issuing by the Controller of any warrant for the money to him. W. AV. Thompson, Esq., is attorney lor the plaintiff. The first bill to restrain the city from selling the old farm will likely come up in court to-day. Since Attorney Thompson's bill has been filed it is a question whether the petition o' Attorney Carpenter will be brought up or not, as the bill entered yes terday covers more ground.

A Decision by Jadce Over In the Rarclay Solci9Iuliafry Coir. Judge Over, of tbe Orphans' Court, yes terday handed down an opinion on the pe tition of-M. T. Barclay to have W. C. Soles, trustee of Madison Mehaffey under tbe will of Alex. Mehaffey, pay the sum of $250 due him irom Madison Mehaffey. In the will of Alex. Mehaffey, father of Madison Mehaffey, he directs that coal lands belong ing to him be sold and one-third held in trust for Madison Mehailey during his life, the interest to be paid annually to him without liability for any debts, etc., he may make. Madison Mehaffey afterward gave Barclay an order on the trustee for $250, in payment of an old judgment, which the trnstee refused to pay. Barclay then petitioned the court, claiming that the funds in the trustee's hands were not ex empted from liability for the debt for which the order wa3 given. Judge Over, in his oninion, held that the wording of the will did not exempt the in terest from liability for past debts,2though it did for luture debts. In consequence he ordered the trustees to pay the money to tbe petitioner. T. G. Boyle'a Will Probated. The will of Thomas G. Boyle was filed yesterday for probate.

"When I first made up my mind to consult Dr. Byers." says Mr. Learzaf. who is a tinner bv occupation and lives at 483 Forbes avenne, "I said to mvself. if I am so fortunate as to get relief I will never permit my name to appear in the papers; bnt when a few weeks ago Dr. Bvers told me I needn't continue tbe treat ments any longer, as my nose and throat wero entirely well, and suggested that 1 allow him to publish my case as encouragement to others, I remembered that it was tluouph tba testi monials of others that induced me to take treatment, and I felt so grateful for tbe bene fit derived that 1 said: 'Go ahead. If It will point tbe way to some other fellow-sufferer afflicted as I was.' ilr. Geo. J. Learzaf, LSSForbes Ave. 'My principal trouble was my stomach. I was continually rifting, had pains and cramps, tongue always coated, and a foul taste In my mouth, especially in morning. I also had pains over my ejes, ringing In tbe ears, nnstrils clogged aptirsc on o le side then the other, and a hawking aud SD'ttlnir ud of a tough mucus. 1 bad tried almost everything I could think of myself and was suggested by friends, till I was dlacouraged. When Dr. Byers examined my nose and throat he said that all the trouble was caused by catarrb, and that I might swallow enough medicine to float a ship and would never et better without the aid of local treat ments. I put myself under bis treatment and soon learned by experienca that bis theory was correct, as I noticed a deeded change from tbe first, and continued to improve, till now 1 am entirely well and glad to make this statement in favor of his treatment." PRAISE 01 HOME TREATMENT 7BOX BEAVZR FALLS. A lady patient from Beaver Falls writes: "I have observed instructions in regard to treat ment faithfully as possible and must say 1 have reveiveu bentnt beyond my most sanguine ex pectations. The noises that troubled me so long have almost entirely ceased through tbe day onlv while eating or drinking, hut they are still bad at night, but bare so diminished that tbey are not so worrying. I have hopes that your treatmen', if persistently followed, will have the desired effect." TBEATJIZUT tS A MOUTH, MEBIC1NB IX CLODED. Almost every day I hear of persons who would like to take treatment of die. but they fear my terms are too low to permit of good work. To sucb patient I wish to say this: In terview any person who was ever treated a month or more Dy me and by other physicians tbe same length nf time, and I will cbeerf nlly abide by the resulr. Mr early training as a druggist taught me bow to compound medi cines at tbe least possible cost, ana as limy at wholesale, I get the lowest obtainable price. My monthly drug bills amount to as much as that of some retail drugstore'. In conclusion, my treatment is for that diss of people who earn their money by bard work and appreciate tbe value of a dollar.
