IJew Yoke, November 26. The greatest
football game ot the season will come off to
morrow afternoon at Eastern Park, Brook
lyn. The cates will be opened at 11 o'clock
in the morning. Extensive arrangements
have been made to care for the crowd, more
liberal in fact than at any previous games
between these colleges. From the time the
referee, "Billy" Brooks, of Harvard, calls
"play," until the final call of "time" there
wiirbe a continual cloud of Yale blue and
Princeton orangeand black hovering around
the grounds. The Yale contingent will oc
cupy the "bleacheries" on the western and
the Princeton students and sympathizer!,
will be on the eastern side. The rival teams
are quartered at the St. George Hotel,
Brooklyn, arjd are anxiously waiting for the
supreme moment to come. It is generally
thought by the knowing ones that Yale will
win the game, but by a very small score.
TOE WILL BE THEEE.
The Princeton eleven have about recovered
from the injuries indicted on them by the
University of Pennsylvania bruisers and
will feel much more confident now
that it is au assured fact that their
mainstay, Captain Poe, will be back
of the line. Princeton men concede that
Tale is stronger in the line than they are,
but with Holcomb out aud Syrnmes playing
against Lewis it is au even question as to
which eleven is really the stronger. The
giants of the teams. Henelfinger aud Kiggs,
will buck up against each other and the
two lines may be considered about equal at
that particular point. Thomas will iace S.
Morrison, aud here again will be a struggle.
5o much for the center. The two Yale tack
lers, lthoucs and AVallis, are certainly more
than a match for Spcer and Lewis, who
will play against them. At these points
Yale will probably have a great advantage.
Crosby will probably be superstded at the
richt end by Moyle or Itidgway, as his
work in the Harvard game was not of the
best. Hartwell will play the other end and
will have Furniss against him. Furuiss,
although a player possessing rare pluck, is
liable to be outplayed by the Yalensian.
rjlISCETOX'S GOOD TOISTS.
Behind the line Princeton is undeniably
the stronger. Poe at quarter back is the
best in the country and is iar superior to
Barbour. Spicer and King play like clock
work together, and are lully as good as any
half backs that Yale can produce. It is a
question whether 'Williams will be well
enough to play or not. If he does not play
Blisswill help McClung out. The latter is
considered an excellent running and kick
ing halfback. Homans is fully as good as
Harvey at lull back and is much better than
B. Morrison, who will probably play for
Yale. The teams will probably line up as
follows:
Yale. Position. -Princeton.
Hartwell -Lett end Warren
Wallis -Lett tackle Speer

Fr.lNCETOX. X. J., November 26. Nothing
Is talked of here but tlie great football struggle
between Princeton and Yale to-morrow. Until
last Saturday everyone was croaking about the
great walk-over Yale was going to have. Since
the Harvard-Yale game aud the decided brace
up the team took last ueek. the croakers are
silent, and everyone feels confident of victory.
So great did the enthusiasm become this morn
ing that a banner, fully 25 feet by 16 feet, was
swung across Nasau street. On it were the
words, "Inter-Collegiate Football." Below was
a tierce tiger appealing with jaw open and
teeth protruding, carrying a lone hlack
streamer, or whirh weie. Princeton-Yale."
Below this again, in large letters, the follow leg
words were beautifullv wrought:
'Rah! 'Rab! 'Rah.
""Tiger, sis boom ah,
"Princeton."
Captain Poe is very confident of victory, and
to are the other members of the team. Captain
Poe kept his men in their rooms all day. He
gave them over two hours1 drill on the signals
aud tricks which are numerous this year. No
regular practice game- was played in order to
ge the men a rest lor to-morrow. Great
crowds of students left hero on the noonday
and afternoon trains.

New Haven, November 20. The Yale root
ball team left for New York to-day at 130.
They were given a rousing send-off as they left
the campus. They will be quartered at the Si
George Hotel m lirookljn. There has been
several necessary changes in the team. The
rush lino is minus its regular center, Holcomb,
who is still on crutches trom rheumatism.
Lewis will play in bis stead, aud it has been de
cided to play Harvey at half back, instead of
at f nil back, his regular position, Morrison be
ing substituted at full back.
The men are all in good condition save Stan
ley Morrison, the right guard. Ho is not feel
ing well, but ho will go into the game, though
his strength may give out before the first half

tuted. The men were all weighed this morn
ing. The heaviest man is Ileifelfinger, 196.
The rush line average 1705-7. the back, aver

1SPLCTAL TELEGttAK TO THE msrATCIM
New Yoek, November 26. Two thousand
football enthusiasts saw tho University of
Pennsylvania defeat Wcsleyan ny a score of 16
to 10, at Washington Park this afternoon in a
game that was remarkable for tho brilliancy
of a run in the second half by Captain Slay
back, of Weslcyan, and the rough tactics pur
sued by Captain Church, of the Pennsylvania
team. It was a very even contest, which might
have resulted differently had Hall. V eslcyan's
great full back, been able to last the came out,
but a weak ankle forced him to quit in the
early part of the first half. Slayback was weak
in the first half, but he played great football in
the second half. Moore also played a good
game for Weslcyan; and Newton, through his
great weight, w.-ib invaluable in backing tho
center. For the University, Camp anu Schoif
were head and shoulders" above their associ
ates. Duncan Edwards, of Princeton, was
umpire and Walter Camp, of Yale, releree.
The men lined up as follow.;

At the eud ot the first half tne score was 16 to

Slaj hack's great run in the second half saved
Wcsleyan a whitewash, leaving the score by
SU back's two touch downs and goal 16 to 10
in favor of University of Pcnnsjlvania.
The Wesley an men were the guests of the
Crescents at their club house on tho hill last
evening.
There were a few substitutes during tho
second half, Griffith, of the Pennsylvania team,
retiring in lavor of Heisman, the injuries the
former received in the Yalo game becoming
very painful C Parshley was- knocked out on
Wesleyan's side and J. Parshley took his place.

Cleveland, O., November 2G. President
Frank Robison, of the Cleveland National
League team, has returned from New York.
Mr. Robison is a member of the Conference
Committee with Mr. Spalding, appointed at
the League meeting to consider the proposition
made by Al Johnson to sell his interest in base
ball for&S.dOO. Up to yesterday Mr. Johnson's
chances for securing a big bonus were ex
cellent, but there is now a strong probability
that he will he badly ieft in the final settlement
of tho Players' League fiasco.
Mr. Robison has always been a warm friend
of Johnson's in spite of the latter's connection
with baseball, and it is mainly owing to bis ef
forts that Johnson received any recognition
Irom the League after tho downfall of the
Flayers' League was assnred. Johnson is now
quoted as saying that the National League has
ncicu in Dau xaitn wun mm and mat Messrs.
Robison and Spalding have been trying to
throw him down.
Mr. Robison said to-day; "I have always
been friendly with Johnson, but when he ac
cuse me of bad faith I don't think it is my
place to do anything further for him. If there
aro any other gentlemen in the National
League who are disposed to deal any more
generously with him than Mr. Spalding and
myself, he had better find them at once." Mr.
Spalding writes that he is disgusted with the
whole affair and feel like letting it drop.
The directors of the Cleveland National
League team met last evening. President Rob
ison laid before them a proposition from the
National League to pav Johnson $2), 000 and re
questing Cleveland to pay $5,100 as its share. A
resolution was passed declining to stand any
assessment for tho purpose of reimbursing Mr.
Johnson, all of the directors voting for this ex
cept President Robison, who still stood out for
a settlement. The other directors expressed
themselves as satisfied with the situation.
Johnson and the Players' League, they sav, are
incapable ot farther mischief, and as it has cost
them enough money already they do not pro
pose to help Johnson nut of the hole into which
be bas put himself. Boston and Philadelphia
will be given Association franchises and Mr.
Johnson left to shift for himself.
NICK VEEY THANKFUL.
President Young Expresses His Gratitude
for Some Baseball Blessings.
Washington, November 26. There is no
happier man alive these days than President
Nick Young, of the National Baseball League,
and he is doing a vast amount of complacent
hand shaking with friends who are'
anxious to congratulate him upon the success
ful tcrmiuation of tho fight that at one time
threatened to defeat the old organization of
which he is the head. A Star reporter added
to bis store of felicity yesterday on meeting the
genial baseball magnate in the White House
grounds.
"It has been a glorious vindication of the old
league and its methods," said Mr. Young, "and
the game is now in good shape for anuther sea
son and a great many more. Tbe war has done
both good and evil to the sport. It has hurt it
in that the public were made j ust a bit disgusted
with ball players and their ways. It has helped
it by bringing out a great many new men, who
have strengthened tbe game by their playing.
There is now less star work and more good
work, fewer high salaries and more sober men.
There is not the least trouble now in mating up
a first-class team out of the general market,
which is really overstocked now that the Play
ers' League has collapsed. Next year' will'be a
great season!" And the man who had steered
a sinking ship into port and bad repaired her
so that she; was ready for her longest cruise
went on to' his work, very thankfnl for the
baseball blessings.
LOCAL BASEBALL A7FAIBS.
A Club Official Talks Plainly About the
Presidency Difficulty.
The stockholders of the local baseball club
expect to hold a meeting some time next week
to get the club thoroughly organized. As far
as the presidency is concerned, a feeling is
growing favorable toward electing ex-Mayor
McCallln to the position. A gentleman inter
ested in the matter said yesterday:
"The only way we can act so as to end all un
pleasantness is to elect Mr. McCallin to the
cilice. If this is done, neither Mr. Niinick nor
Mr. O'Neil will have anything to tight about as
far as the election of either is concerned. I
think that Mr. McCUin will see that it is for
the best interests of tbe club that he should
consent to act. If he does not there will al
ways be more or less trouble."

Frenchman, who finished 12S points ahead of
his opponent from the Windy City.
Tlie game was attended with brilliant plays,
but was rather a surprise, as in practice Carter
had always outplaced his opponent. Both
averages were light, Magillio scoring a trine
over seven, while Carter fell a point behind.
Forty-two was the higuest ruu made, which the
Frenchman pulled off. He clearly outplayed
Carter at all points. Among tbe spectators
were Catton.of St. Louis. Charlie Coil, of this

TWO SKELETONS UNEARTHED.
The Discovery Confirms an Old Story of a
Miser's Double Murder.
SiMMESPOr.T, La., Kovember 2G. The
skeletons of a woman and infant were yes
terday discovered by workmen employed in
cleaning out an old well on what is known
as the Richardson plantation, lving a few
miles out of town on the Baton Rouge road.
The skulls of both were broken. Tlie arms
of the woman were still so tightly
clasped about the child that they could not
be loosened, and the two were reinterred as
they were found. About the neck of the
woman was hung a silver chain, to which
was attached a small gold crucifix, both
quite black, however, with slime and nge.
The latter, on being cleaned, was found to
be inscribed on the back with the initials
A. 1?. 1?., and the date May 10, 1803.
The Richardson place lias lain fallow
ever since the w.ir, when, on the death of its
owner Colonel Maurice Richardson it
became the property of a gentleman living
in Cuba. Prior to its purchase by the Colonel
the plantation was owned by a French
gentleman named Fougeron, who, in turn,
inherited the property from a relative of
that name, who, the older settlers say, was
unmarried and lived the life ol a miter and
recluse. He was said to have an octoroon
daughter, a most beauti'itl young woman,
to whom, he was devotedly attached, but
that she disappeared one day, and to the
few who ventured to question him about
her absence he declared that she had run
away with a young man employed By him
as an overseer. As this man was also miss
ing, and the girl and he having been seen
frequently together, this explanation was
accepted, but many did not scruple at the
time to say that the old man bad murdered
them both.
ITS BONES RATTLE.
An Old-Fashioned Spook Terrifies tho In
habitants of an Eastern Village.
"Westeeley, E. I., November 26. The
quiet little Rhode Island hamlet of Sayles
ville has had a Teal, old-fashioned spook
this winter. The ghost frequents a wooded
strip ot land leading .from Crossman street
to Eagley street, appears nightly, glides
over tbe ground with a fantastic, grave
yard gait, and some people that have met
tbe spook aud whose hearing is acute think
they heard its bones rattle in its white
habiliments. The citizens of obscure nnd
lonesome Saylesville avoid the ghost's walk
and take a short footpath around the Cross
man wood alter dark.
The spook has appeared to more than half
a dozen people, but most of them were too
scared to let it come very near to them and
see how it looks; but the other night the
Rev. Mr. Calvin, with his two daughters,
strolling nonchalantly through tbe
haunted wood, saw the ghost at short range.
A figure clad in white suddenly rose up out
of the brush or ground and flashed with
the quickness and elusiveness of a fire-fly
past them. The young ladies were very
much Irightened, but as the apparition dis
appeared almost instantly they regained
their courage, and the party went on borne.
All three persons had a good look at the
phantom, and aver it is a genuine ghost.
They have told the story of the encounter to
a hundred people. Some of the brave young
fellows of Saylesville propose to lie in wait
for the ghost at night.
THE "WRONG WOMAN.
now Mary Blake Passed Herself OS as a
Widow.
Dekyep., Col., November 26. Suit has
been commenced in the District Court by
F.J. Jones, of Chicago, against Mary Blake,
ol this city, to recover 56,009, alleged to have
been obtained on false pretenses.
In 1887 J. B. Blake died in Michigan
City, leaving an estate of 512,000 to his
widow, Mary Blake, with whom he bad not
lived for .several years. Jones was ap
pointed executor, nnd after a couple of
years' search found a woman who to bis
satisfaction proved herself to be the Mary
Blake wanted. She succeeded in getting
56,000 and came to Denver. Some time
alterward the. true widow of the testator ap
peared and demanded the money. Mr. Jones
immediately came here and demanded the
return of the cash, but was laughed at.
There is property valued'at probably 2,000,
which has been levied upon.
EVENTFUL LIFE HISTORY.
The Veteran Hero of Battle, Accident and

"White Hall, III., November 26.
Samuel Wells, one of the early settlers of
this country, and in many respects
a remarkable man, died at his home,

A QUESTION OP ADMINISTRATION.

Both East and West.
THE DEAD CEffiSDS WAS A HARD CASE
Helena, Most., November 26. On
March 11 last, Andrew J. Davis died rather
suddenly, and hardly had rigor-mortis been
noticed before tbe scramble for his millions
began. Al his deathbed there were very
few who could reasonably hope to share in
the distribution of his millions. They knew
his possessions represented millions, but
how many? Thqf was a point upon which
his most intimate business associates were
left to wonder.
Those in the "West knew he had money in
the East, while those on the Atlantic Coast,
especially in New York, knew he had large
mining interests in the "West. So a guess
was all that any one could hazard as to his
wealth. Some of them had watched the
process of accumulation without even
making an estimate of the value of the
properties, willing to accept any
crumbs that might fall to their lots in the
final distribution. Two days after Mr.
Davis' death the public heard that fully
?j,000,000 had been left by the dead man,
and a genuine sensation was created when
it was announced that no will had been left.
SCRAMBLE BEIJIXS AT ONCE.
Many persons were positive that a will
had been drawn; one or two of his business
associates expressed si willingness to swear
that they had heard Mr. Davis say he had
made a will; but no one could say that the
contents of the document had ever been
told by the millionaire. So there beganan
immediate scramble for the position of high
distributor of the worldly wealth, with its
accustomed percentaga in such cases made
and provided.
Tne public curiosity was aroused when
John A. Davis, brother of the deceased,
made application for letters of administra
tion. This was the signal for opening to
the public gaze all the chapters of the rather
eventful history of a bachelor who had not
entertained orthodox ideas of virtue. So
every man who knety, a bit of personal his
tory was brought to the witness-stand and
his story given to the public, with pretty
bits of sensational gossip attached as facts.
The brothers testified that Millionaire Davis
had not married, and that no children could
claim him as parent But befoye the hearing
had progressed very far children bezan
flocking in, accompanied by mothers, who
readily acknowledged the children in the
hope of obtainins a portion of the money
left by the millionaire.
THE PRIZE GEOIVS IN VALUE.
Certainly more of the sensationalism was
added in this way than was necessary, aud
so brazen were the claims that the women
succeeded in bringing themselves into con
tempt without' substantiating tbe claims
made.
As witness after witness was called, the
total of wealth was swelled until the estate
reached the handsome figure of $12,000,000,
and established the fact 'that with the excep
tion ot Marius Daly, the business partner of
Senator Hearst, and J. B. Haegin, Mr.
Davis was the wealthiest of Montana men,
and in the personal history of the rich men
of this State not one biography presents
more illustrations of self-denial and moder
ate living than does that of this apparently
parsimonious millionaire.
The opinion handed down to-day relates
solely to letters of administration. The Dis
trict Court of Butte appointed John A.
Davis, a brother of tbe deceased millionaire,
administrator. Henry A. Hoot, of New
York, a nephew, who represented the East
ern relatives, was also an applicant for let
ters and will move for a new hearing, alleg
ing that John A. Davis was not a proper
person, alleging incompetency, bv reason of
drunkenness, improvidence and want of un
derstandine and integrity.
TV AST A SET ADMINISTRATOR.
Evidence was introduced in support of
the allegations, as well as evidence to show
error in tbe defense of respondent against
the allegations. This second class of evi
dence relates
First, to the alleged insufficiency of the
evidence to justify the findiuz of the court
against the alleged causss of incompetency,
and
Second, to errors of law alleged to have
occurred at the trial and been excepted to by
appellant. As to the alleged disqualifica
tion by reason of drunkenness, the opinion
finds no error in the ruling of tbe court be
low. The question does not turn upon the
lact that intoxicating liquor was used to
some extent.
The drunkenness contemplated by the
statute is that which follows irom excessive,
inveterate anil continued use of intoxicants
to such an extent as to render the victim ot
the habit an unsafe agent for the care of
property or the transaction of business. It
is admitted by appellant's counsel that the
evidence introduced to establish tbe incom
petency of defendant by reason of drunken
ness is rudager. No witnesses were willing
to testify that John A. Davis was unable to
transapl business by reason of drunkenness,
nor did they testify to other facts from
which this court could draw such conclu
sion. - SOME COUNTER-CHARGES.
Testimony for the respondent shows, on
the contrary, that he is capable of, and had
been aitend'ing to, important business, up to
the time of this hearing. In the same way
the charge of improvidence is not sustained
by proving that since 18So, and after a legal
separation from his wife, the appellant has
not supported her and his minor children.
He has no estate, and at the advanced age
of 60 years he is not possessed of property.
"Want of understanding and integrity is, in
the same way, held to he not sustained by
the evidence.
On this point the evidence is reviewed
very iullv. as ii the alleged error in exclud
ing certain proffjred evidence. It is urged
that the fact that the respondent has a son
with claims against the estate should dis
qualify the respondent from acting as ad
ministrator, because he would be likely to
favor his son's claim. "This fact," says
the opinion, "has no bearing upon the
question of Johu A. Davis' integrity."
The opinion concluded by ordering that
the judgment of the lower court be affirmed,
with costs. Judge Blake, in his dissent,
makes no objection to the finding of' the
lower court in respect to a non-competency
by reason of drunkenness, but goes into the
question of the intesrity of the respondent
exhaustively. He finds that on that ground
the motion lor a reversal of the finding of
the lower court should have been sustained.
He also finds that the lower court was in
error in refusing certain testimony tending"
to further establish a want of integrity and
a conspiracy. '
LEGAL DOCTORS DIFFER.
His opinion touches on the fact that A. J.
Davis, Jr.. the son of the respondent, has a
claim of 665,000 acainst the estate; that
Erwin Davis, the brother of the respondent,
owes the estate $536,000, and that these two
have always stood behind the respondent in
his fight with other claimants. Further
more the respondent on July 25, 1890, filed
a petition asking that the order which ap
pointed him administrator be revoked, that
a will just found be probated and anew
order issued appointing him administrator.
Although this new will does not ad
mit the claims of A. J. Davis, Jr., nor
the debt ol Erwin Davis, these two are still
with the respondent in his fight. The mat
ter will be appealed to the United States
Supreme Court. The later estimates filed
bv those interested value the estate at S12,
800,000. The JiHIl recently presented, dated
in 1866, is pronounced a forgery by ex
perts aud will not figure in -the coming
trials. The legal controversy has, by this
decision, been fairly opened, and a multi
plicity of suits for the estate trill ensue',
A HEAVY FAILURE.
TWO BANKS IN THE CITY OF DULUTH
SUSPEND PAYMENT.
Stringency in the Money Market Causes II.
II. Bell to Close Up "With Unbllltles
That Aro riaccd at Over 8700,000.
Duluth, November 26. The suspension
of the bank of H. H. Bell was announced
this morning by a bulletin placed on the
door stating that owing to the tightness of
the money market Mr. Bell was at present
unable to meet the bank's obligations,
although every dollar of liabilities" would
be met in due time. An assignment of all
Mr. Bell's property to Clinton Markell was
filed early this morning with the Clerk of
Courts for the benefit of all creditors of the
concern. The bulletin further stated that a
full and exact account of the bank's assets
and liabilities would be furnished to the
public at tbe earliest possible date. V. "W.
Bilsou, the bank's attorney, said :
"The failure was occasioned simply hy
the iact that the line of discounts and re
discounts, which the bank was carrying
proved to be too large for times of such ex
treme financial stringency. On account of
this striugency, aggravated perhaps by
misgivings in moneyed circles with reference
to the magnitude of his business as com
pared with his capital, his rediscounts were
suddenly and generally called in and Mr.
Bell found hinuelt unable to care for them.
Mr. Bell has, I suppose, been justly con
sidered to be worth 5300,000 and this entire
fortune will, so far as necessary, be applied
to cover the shrinkage in his assets that may
follow the fact of his failure. I have no
reason to doubt that all creditors will be
paid in full."
It has been known among the bankers of
the city for some time that Mr. Bell was in
financial difficulty on account of the pinch
in the money market, which was perhaps
made doubly stringent owing to the fact
that Mr. Bell has to larsejy carry the For
restal Bros, contracts since their failure on
account of beinc their heaviest bondsman.
The associated banks of Duluth have ad
vanced Mr. Bell money several times and
tided him over during the worst pinch. A
considerable aniount.of his loans have been
called in also, but it was impossible, how
ever, for him to get in sufficient funds to
meet his obligations, for cash depositors were
obliged to draw heavily on account of strin
gency in their own obligations.
As nearly as could be learned this fore
noon from semi-official sources, but not
from authoritative ones, the liabilities of tbe
bank are about $715,000 and assels 700,000
on short loans, mostly for 60 days; 5250,000
rediscounts, 550,000 advanced lor the city
to carry Forrestal Bros., and private prop
erty of Mr. Bell, 5300,000, making the total
assets $1,300,000.
The West End Bank, of H. H. Bell &
Co., was also closed to-day and all the funds
removed from its vaults to those of tbe bank
up town early this morning. It is not be
lieved that either the county or city will be
much affected by the assignment, as the
other banks have signified their willingness
to honor all orders which may be civen by
the city or county authorities. The Bell
& Fyster Bank was the only city depository
and also a depository of 5100,000 of the St.
Loui county fuuds. At present the city
has $79,865 06 of funds deposited in the
bank, and the county has S36.000 to their
credit in their banking accounts with the
same depository. The bank gave bonds to
the county in tbe sum of 5200,000.
LIABILITIES OVER 85,000,000.
Discouraging Statement of the Assignee of
CM. Whitney & Co.
New Yor.K, November 26. A statement
of the assignee of C. M. Whitney & Co.
shows that the firm's liabilities amount to
$5,235,211, and that its assets are 54,124,112.
It is not stated whether these assets are
actual or nominal. The statement adds that
about 53,300,000 of the liabilities are secured
debts owing to bankers. The Inrcest cred
itor is Mrs. M. Li. Whitney, of New Orleans.
Her claim is for 51,900,000, which is prac
tically unsecured.
The assets may be largely increased by the
avails of securities belonging to the firm,
upon which it js impossible to put a value.
At present they have accordingly been
treated as possessing a nominal value only.
AN ARTIFICIAL HAND.
Ingenious Invention of a Father Whose
Son's Arm Was Amputated.
Norwich. Novemuer 2t', Some months aco
Willard A. Lucas, sou of Mr. Samuel Lucas,
the wool manufacturer of Poquetannuck, had
his right hand severed in his lather's mill, and
since, Mr. Lucas, Sr., who has inventive ccnins,
has used every effort to replace the missing
member with as useful a substitute as possible.
He bas produced an aluminum hand which is
very much like an old-time steel gauntlet, and
it is almost as handy as a natural hand. The
fingers are all perlcct in shape and appearance,
and the joints bend like those of tho human
fingers, it is smaller than thn natural hand,
but with it a man can do about every kind of
work.
Mr. Willard Lucas bas worn one of the arti
ficial hands for several weeks, and with it can
grasp and handily use all kinds of farm tools,
pick up things from tbe ground, drive, handle
a gun in fact use bis metal band skillfully and
quickly at any work.

SPOILED A WEDDING.
The Employer of tho Bride Drives
Minister and Guests Away
BY USIKG AN ANCIENT NSTUL.
Printed Invitations Issued and Prepara
tions Complete.
OBJECTED TO LOSING IIIS SEETAST
Camden, N. J., November 20. A
wedding was announced to take place
last night at 7 o'clock in a house ou Seventh
street, above Ferry avenue, Camden, but
tbe man in whose home the ceremony was to
have been performed at the point of, a pistol
ordered tbe guests to depart, intercepted the
minister, and iorbadc him to proceed, pre
senting the weapon at his head.
The couple who were to have been wed
were Itoger George "Washinstqn Welsh and
Mrs. Annie Smith. Tbe invitations had
been nicely written and circulated among
the friends of the prospective bride and
bridegroom for over a fortnight, and when
the hour arrived there were lully 20
couples present, provided with all kinds of
presents. As the guests had passed many
mile 6tones in life's journey, they had se
lected presents more useful than orna
mental, and the bearers were considerably
fatigued as they sat in the kitchen waiting
for the ceremony.
CHANGES niS MIND.
The intended bride was housekeeper for
John Orr, at whose home the company had
assembled. Mr. Orr is a pairiarchal look
ing man with a long white beard, and while
sitting with the guests an objection to losing
the services of his housekeeper flashed upon
him. He left the room abruptly and soon
returned with a long navy revolver and
astonished the guests by exclaiming: "Well,
I have decided the wedding will not take
place, so vou may all leave as soon as pos
sible. The man that was to marry my
housekeeper has proven to be a mean rascal,
as I have discovered that he has deceived
Mrs. Smith by presenting her with a rolled
gold ring valued at 25 cents for a good wed
ding ring."
The guests were astonished at the sudden
turn ot affairs. Some had come from Ger
mantown, Frankford, West Philadelphia,
and other places in Pennsylvania and New
Jersey towns. Alter they bad got on the
outside he lollowedtind said: "I guess I
will go and hunt the minister."
WAYLAYS THE MINISTER.
As he flourished the old weapon they
feared he would do harm and followed. He
went to Broadway and Van Hook streets
and bid behind a tree.
Presently a car came down the street, and
when it reached "Van Hook Hev. Charles D.
Sinkinson, pastor of the Memorial M. P.
Church, who had been engaged to perform
the ceremony, alighted. When he reached
the sidewalk he was surprised by a man
jumping from behind a tree with a large
navy revolver, which was forcid under his
nose with the exclamation:
"Hold onl Hold on here!"
The minister was startled and asked what
he had done. Mr. Orr informed him he
need not be alarmed, no one would be hurt;
but the wedding could not take place at his
bouse, and that he nad started out to inform
him that he could take the car and return to
bis home.
MR. ORB'S EXCUSE.
The reason he gave was that an effort had
been made to secure $5 as a foe tor the min
ister, and when that sum could not be
raised he had decided to prevent the cere
mony. The minister asked Mr. Orr to be kind
enough to lower the weapon from his nose
long enough to allow him to put the mar
riage certificate in his pocket. When this
was done the minister backed into the street
until a friend arrived. Mr. Orr lowered the
weapon, walked to his home to find it
crowded with people. When he opened the
door he found the housekeeper aud Mr.
Welsh missing.
