THE TIMES, NEW BL00MF1ELI), PA., AUGUST. 0, 1881.
Shocking Story from Pittsburg.
PiTTsnuim, Aug. 3. Smallpox mid ty
phoid fever are very prevalent in Pittsburg,
mid it is feared that thii winter the former
disease will be epidemic Borne result of
an investigation uow in progress by the
Board of Health will give an Idea as to
Borne of the causes of tlio uuhealthiness of
the city. Un Bedford avenuo, almost In
the heart of Pittsburg, is a large graveyard
used by colored people. Yesterday morn,
ine Mr. Timmis, the sexton, came to the
office of the Board at the request of the
Health OiTicer. He told the Board that he
had beou sexton of the cemetery for about
two years and a half,. During that time'
he said, there were a gi pat many double
interments, one body being buried above
another. This appeared to be practised as
k matter of economy. People in tho
ueigborhood complaiued that a horrible,
deadly stench arose from the graveyard,
and the sexton said it was true that such
was the case. Whenever there were two
or three hot, dry days the graves would
crack opeu and from the apertures smoke
would arise, giving forth a very unpleasant
smell. He kuew of several families who
frequently bad to close the doors and win
dows of their houses to keep it out. One
family the Fosters, moved away on ac
count of it. At times it was impossible to
go through the grounds without being
made sick by tho awful stench. This was
caused by the interim out of bodies one on
top of the other, in some instances theso
bodies filling the grave to within six Inches
of the tep. His instructions were to dig
all graves Ave aud a half feet, providing
the digging was not too hard, and he had
time to do it ; if not then dig them as deep
aa be could just deep enough to hide tho
box. lie said he always dug them five
feet or ueaily that, but when they would '
put in two thirty inch boxes the graves
would be filled to the top. Scarcely a
night passed but he saw twenty to thirty
dogs prowling around through the grounds,
and almost every morning during the lato
hot spell he had to cover up the boxes that
had been laid bare. This was especially
true in t he case of a Mrs. Woods who had
been buried on the top of her husband's
body, the " rough box" being almost on a
lino with the ground : tho dogs never got
further than the outside of the boxes.
The fences wore in such a dilapidated con
dition that it was impossible to keep tho
dogs out of the grounds.
Married in Haste.
" A special telegram from Richmond, Va.,
reports excitement there iu social circles
over the betrayal into marriage of a young
lady by a man calling himself Thos. Mar
vin. The dispatch says : She possesses a
uoble character, and iu person is au exceed
ingly pretty blonde of less than 23. About
throe weeks ago her attention was called to
an advertismeut in a Hartford, Conn., re
ligious newspaper purporting to be from a
widower in Ohio, who desired to secure the
services of a governess to take charge of
bis little girl, about six or eight years old.
The lady quickly decided to apply for the
position. Marvin came to Richmond with
letters of introduction, representing him to
be of ample fortune, ect. He proposed
marriage, was accepted by the lady, settled
$i0,000 on bis wife, and they started for
Niagara. After they were gone the First
National bank discovered that an $S00
draft it had cashed for him was a forgery.
The first intelligence from tho unhappy
girl was a telegram from Albion, N. Y., in
which she inquired if the fatal accident to
her mother in Salem, Ya., reported iu a
Northern newspaper was true. It would
seem that Marviu lftul carried the lady to
Albion, where he had hoped to practice bis
forgery schemes upon wealthy friends of
hers there, and in order to get rid of her
had manufactured and had published the
false story of the fatal accident to her
mother, doubtless hoping that this would
cause her to at once return to Richmond,
and thus leave the way clear to him to de
sert ier. As soon as the friends of the vic
tim realized Marvin's imposition two of
them promptly left here to join hor. The
bank officers, who had been duped by the
widower, placed the case in the bands of
detectives, who telegraphed to Albion to
have Marvin arrested. The reply came
back that there were two men of that
name in that city, and inquiring which one
was wanted. The im poster learning that
te officers were on his track fled, and is
supposed to have gone in the direction of
Canada. The lady's friends found her at
Albion. Iu order to avoid all publioity
ehe would consent ouly to travel at night.
She is expected on the Northern train
which arrives here to-night nt a quarter to
eleven o'clock.
A Queer Case.
New York, August 1. Mrs. Walker
Campbell, aged 80, has brought suit
agaiust her buaband, aged C7, to recover
bonds valued at $55,000 which she says he
Las converted to bis own use. The couple
were married in 187S, aud Campbell says
he gave up a position worth f 5,000 a year
to go arouud with his wife, ehe promising
to settle property on him worth $25,000,
and that she gave him bonds which ehe
now sues to recover. They went to Eu
xope, but the wife left with a deposit com
pany the bond in au envelope indorsed to
hor husband. He told her when they
reached England that he must return im
mediately to attend to a lawsuit. Ho
came to Now York and sold the bonds.
Later she gave a release for tbo bonds.
But Bbo says she did not mean the release,
and the lawyer told her that between hus
band aud wifo it oould have no effect. Ho
deported her again and she has attached
all his goods. .. The mattor came up to day
on a motion to vacate tho attachment.
OTAn East Iudiaa Bishop has just ad
mitted to holy orders a Mr. Thomas Rick,
ards, till lately a miner at Callington, in
Cornwall, who is said, "by constant perse
verance, to have taught himself Latin,
Greek, Hebrew, German, French, and Sy
rian ;" and this prodigy of learning is now
teaching the natives of Burmah.
C7A young man of wostern Massachu
setts went to Amherst to get a marriage
license, and his prospective mother-in-law
accompanied him, In order to Bee to it that
he got back iu time for the ceremony in
the evening ; but ut Amborst they got
drunk together, and wero in jail at the
hour appointed for the wedding.
tarOn Spring Hill, Allegheny, on Satur
day, Louis Meyer tried to Bhoot a dog
and slipping, shot himself in the arm. One
of his brothers tried to tnke the revolver
from him to shout the dog, but in the
scutlle that ensued the weapon was dis
charged, fatally wounding Louis in the
abdomen.
ggrThe front doors of the new house of
William II. Yaudcrbilt will cost, including
sottings, $23,000. They are of bronze and
fac sijnilcs of those of tho Church of San
Angelo nt Rome. Many a man would be
glad to put up with a house that didu't
cost more than that much. '.
Happy Friends.
Rev. F. M, Wingburne, Pastor M. E.
Church, Moxia, Texas, writes as follows :
Several mouths since I received a supply
of St. Jacobs Oil. Retaining two bottle,
I distributed the rest among friends. It is
a most excellent remedy for pains and
aches of various kinds, especially neuralgia
and rheumatio afl'ections. Jackson Daily
Patriot.
A Good Foundation.
Ono of tho gieatest troubles of our people
is weakness of the stomach. As this soon
causes Indigestion, Nervousness and Rheu
matism, tbey prevail iu every American
household. There is positively no need
for anybody to Buffer from theso painful
troubles who can buy a 50 ct. bottle of
Parker's Ginger Tonic ; for this superior
medicine always tones up tho stomach' and
nervous system, and keeps tbo kidneys
acting in carrying off the foul matters,
thus laying a good fouudatiou for perfect
health.
