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. Wakeman.

THE CITY EOUCITOE'S OPINION.
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.

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.

Before leaving for Philadelphia, Thurs

reporter that bis mission was one of import
ance in connection with a matter of particu
lar interest to the bill districts, but refnsed
to eive details. He said he would explain
on his return, if everything turned out sat
isfactorily. Not being inclined to keep tbe people in
suspeuse until the 'Squire returned, the re
porter began a tour ot inquiry, and learned
that E. C. Hays accompanied Mr. Succop
for the purpose of bonding tbe suburban
rapid transit road for $75,000. Henry Mil
ler will go to-night, and will join them
Monday, when tne business wil. be trans
acted. The intention is to doubletrack the road
and extend tbe line throneh Knozville

Incline. They have already secured the
right of way through the borough and will
make other extensive improvements. It is
also said the company has a still greater

"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."

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."

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. I am doing work equal
that wblcb some physicians charge from Sa) to
$50 per month lor, as will be vouched for by
