Rushing upstairs the excited guests found the former bridegroom in bed uncon­ scious ot' their efforts to reuse him, snd a doctor, hastily summoned, confirmed the worst tears of all. Hcnt failure, or acute fatty degeneration of the heart, had been the probable cause. THE NATIONAITCAPITAL.

The private press, said he, that runs only for its own emolument, and has to )<;ake money, snd th-«t leaves oat the most truth--especially if it is unpalata­ ble--is a poor press to rely upon. This great American press of onrs is the source of mor j mischief in this country than there Would be if we had no press at all. There m <y come a time when a dog-fight will not be more important in the opin­ ion of the press than a gr^at school o il, but that point h is not been raached.

Washington dispatch: Tho Senato special committee on Pacific railroads, after many hearings, thorough Investi­ gation, aud carcful consideration, has finally accopted tho report of , Senator Prye on the Union Pacific and that of Senator Davis on the Central Pacific,and has agreed on a bill providing for a re­ funding of their debts. , Tho report on tho Union) Pacific reaches the conclusions that thAre is no evidence of any purpose on the)part of the company to surrender that portion of its road over which the go vena ment has a statutory lien; on tho c<4itrar/ there is every reason tending to satisfy any candid person that no such nurpose exists, that this is a capable, wall man­ aged road, ahumiantly able to /pay its debts, requiring only, like any other railroad, time In which to pay< that the interests of tho governi^'nt and of tho railway company will ue promoted by a settlement, and tV.iit one can be made how under which every dollar of t!io govprnmoBrti debt with interest will be- paid, y/ Th</report<»h the Central Pacific finds tbftf the United States has for security f % statutory lien on a road commencing at a point five miles west of Ogdcn and ex­ tending to San Jose, without terminal facilities at either end, made subject to a mortgage to secure bonds equal In amount to the original indebtedness of the United States That the present security of the United States upon this property is entirely inadequate; that a foreclosure of the first mortgage, would substantially pxhaust, in satitfaction thereof, the entire property; that it would be inexpedient for tho United States to redeem it from said first mort­ gage or to become the owner of the property through redemption and fore­ closure. The report finds that it is expedient, necessary, and practicable to adjust and further sectiro the indebtnoss to tho United States upon the extendedptime at a reduced rato of interest within tho ability of the company to pay, upon such terms as to advance the develop­ ment of ^he country through which the roads pass and afford the inhabitants thereof reasonable rates of transportation for passengers and freight. From the report it appears that the Central Pacific has not an ability to pay at all equal to that of the Union Pacific, but under the terms of the bill to bo re­ ported can make final and full payment reasonably certain. - A BIGAMIST AT 17.

At Buffalo, N. Y., Georgo Rlchl, a youth of 17, is charged with bigamy. In December, 188S, Riehl married Martha Kurts, the ceremony being per­ formed by the Rev. Mr. Ackerman of St. Mark's Methodist Episcopal church. Ho left her in a few months. Some time ago Martha secured a warrant charging him with non-support, but the itttso did not come before tho police Court. Early in 1889 Riehl went to work for Mrs. Schick of East Genesee street, and during tho time he was cm- ployed there fell in love with her 17- year-old daughter Lizzie, an exceeding­ ly pretty girl. In Juno Lizzie and Georgo went through the marriage cere­ mony at the church of tho Seven Dolors and lived Jto/ret,her. Riehl tired of his now Jove and rwont back to his wife. Lizzie would not have this, and appealed, and Georgo returned only to go back o'neo again. The second Mrs. Rieiil got tired of this and applied for a warrant charging'her lover with bigamy. George promised to return to his fair Lizzie and be good and true, but she said that she had seen enough of Ills perfidy. Lizzie wouldn't listen, and told George to leave her forever. Sho threatened to have him arrested foi* bigamy and soon after proceeded to carry out her threat. George and his father hastened after the irate Lizzie and appeared in the police court five minutes after the warrant had been issued. Mr. Riehl, Sr., swore out a warrant against the girl, charging her with a violation of that part of the bigamy law providing for "punishment of consort." He al­ leges that Lizzie was cognizant of tho fact of his son's first marriage. RUINED BY HIS WIFE. aim. iJpplncott Wrecks Her Husband's Fortune by Forgeries.

Berlin cable: The Emperor, in his opening address at the Council of State, said the council was to consider measu.es to snbmit to the legislative bodies, with whom must rest the final decision as to their wisdom. Referring to women, the Emperor said: "It is especially necessary to consider their position in the households of workingmen, so important for domestic life, from the point of morality and thrift. The council -should- endeavor to frafno a scheme for the protection of workingmen from the arbitrary systems aud operations of employers by which gross advantage is taken of their needs and their inability to help themselves by any other means than the desperate remedy of strikes. It should also attempt to protect women and child­ ren against protracted hours of labor. I do not lose sight of the fact that all wo desire cannot be attained by State measures alone. In these labors of love the church and tho school have also a wide field for fruitful action in helping to support and aid what the laws shall ordain. ' .' SH0RT_CR0P. S ^ Icemen Alarmed Over the Warm Weathe^ at Lake Winnebago. Oshkosh (Wis.) dispatch: The warm weather of the last few days has put a damper on tite operations of the icemen in this city. There are nearly a score of firms from Milwaukee, Chicago, and other cities operating on Lake Winne­ bago at this point, and during the last few weeks over 200 carpenters have been kept busy in the erection of ice-houses. The ice Is now less than a foot th(ck and is decidedly ^rotten." Some of the operators ltavp handled the ice in sacks or swaths instead of with the ice tongs, to prevent its breaking up on tho way into the houses. The John T. Mix com­ pany of < liicago has 40,000 tons of ice in one of their houses, and another building of the same size nearly full, but no other company has as much housed. Unless extremely cold weather sets in very soon the loss to the icemen will bo very large. MR. EDISON'SJPHONOGRAPH. li Address ea " the Electric Convention at . Kansas City.

At the Navy department an emphatic denial was given by Acting Secretary Ramsey of the story that United States men-of- war had been ordered to Canadian waters.

It cost the Secretary more than $70,000. See- depart- i rctary Tracy does not recover as rapidly as wa3 hoped.

A Villain's Cowardly Revenge oil a Youn( Woman. Erie, (Pa.) dispatch: Tho eastern sec­ tion of tho city is excited over an attack made upon MissEmma Fis-her. a young lady of prominence. She went to tho door in response to a summons, and as she opened it a man with masked face threw a quantity of vitriol in her face and then ran away. Dennis McCarty, the young lady's lover, hearing of the outrage, set ont td find tho wretch. About midnight he heard a suppressed conversation in an old building and, being satisfied that he was on the right track, attempt­ ed to enter. The men on the inside tired and wounded him, but tho brave fellow pressed on and ordered the would-be assassins to surrender. Their reply was a bullet, which passed through Mc­ Carthy's body. He bravely stood by the door, cutting off escape by that, channel, hoping that his calls and tho shots would secure help, but the vitriol- thrower escaped,leaving the evidences of the foul deed behind him. McCarthy is painfully but not fatally wounded. Miss Fischer's eyes escaped the fiery liquid, but she will be sadly disfigured. Mightier Than tiie Sword.

There \ is no other hotel on this tongue of sand* which is really an island, where the tide npt Only ebbs and flows, but where there is a perpetual aerial river of the ; ocean's ozone flowing to and fro all the I time. Its situation has made the house Erosperous for nearly a generation, and \ ids fair to do so for a generation tp come. Of course it is only open during i the summer. " ; No one knows the value of his prop­ erty better than the landlord himself. He is a a genial fellow withal, but there \ is no nonsense, as he expresses it, about his way to keep a hotel. Like Tennye- son's brook, he reasoned that guests may come and guests may go, but tav­ ern-keepers g > on forever. And so it comes about that his gueats do not run away with him, or use him despitefullyr or impose upon him in any way. Not \ much. If they have any nonsensical "ideas in their head he soon knocks &hem> ? out. Modern innovations such »3 elec­ tric belis, bell boys, and a multiplicity ; Of servants are not for him. The old style is good enough for him, and it has : to be good enough for his guests. They " are always of the best kind so far a« their social status is concerned, and: many of them come back to him year after year. Last season, however, there came to j the house upon the sand a young En- glishman of quiet, obedient, and in- , offensive ways, who looked as if he * might find favor with the keeper of the- hostelry. But the poor fellow had cc s such lnok. Before he had been there a day, he went to the proprietor and said: i "I should like the key to my room." "What?" said the astonished Boni- ; face. i ' I should like the key to my room, it -1 you please," replied the guest, meekly. : "What do you want a key to your ; room for, I should like to know," was the response. "I want you to under­ stand, sir, that I don't havbor any dan- gerous characters in my house, sir, and? the people about here are honest, sir, honest. If you've got any money or • valuables you're afraid of losing, bring: them down and put them in the safe, sir, put them in the safe. That's what we have it for. Your clothes are safe enough, sir. What more do you want ?" "I was only going to say," answered th e guest with unruffled composure,. • S "that the door of my room is locked." The proprietor didn't say another work, but leaving him to get out of the. scrape as best he could, bolted out ol. i the office to the barroom and took ft drink all by himself in one corner. But there is one thing that is the bane of this excellent man's life, and' that is popular excursions, To be sure he only runs a boat to the mainland* seven miles distant, twice a day, but. sometimes the excursions will come in snite of all he can do to prevent it- Then he is put to his trumps to make things pleasant for them. On one oc­ casion some excursion people invaded 5 the beach, which he had become tisedl to looking upon as his own, and aske4 through a conciliatory ambassador if he would Ferve them with dinner. He sent back word that they conld have dinner after his guests were served ii they wished. They had no other re­ course, so when the appointed time ar­ rived they crowded into the dining- room. When they came out they found 3 the proprietor waiting at the door of the ' dining-room, and in almost every case st : dialogue like this ensued: "One dollar." "One dollar? What for?" "For your dinner." "What! One dollar for that cold clam chowder, raw roast beef and cold potatoes, with cold gravy?" /«•:)•\>.j. "One dollar," said the impassive XOOU- arch of the sand strip. The dollar was paid by one perso» after another and by one party after an­ other with more or less discussion. At , length one man protested more vigor- , ous than the rest and wound up his re- i marks by saying: "This is the first ' time in my life that I was ever required to pay one dollar for cold clam chow- j der, a little piece of tough beef and a piece of pie." . "What's that you said? Pie?* e*c claimed the busy collector. "Yes, pie. A small narrow strip ol stale pie with the rest of it." "What table did you eat at?" aud bis questioner dropped his air of indiffer­ ence in an instant. "Number ten." * "John," turning to hishead clerk, "gc and discharge that waitress at number ten right away. And see that she packs up and gets away from here to-night. She'll breed demoralization in the whole camp if she stays a day longer. I am very much obliged lo you said the excursion man. "No," refusing to take his dollar, "you must consider yourseli a guest of the house. Won't you take a drink with me?" The stranger declined, and the inter­ rupted procession of his fellow travel­ lers filed along and each on&laid do.wii his tribute, convinced that further re­ sistance was useless. When it was all over and his house was freed from the unwelcome guests, the ruler of its destinies retired to the barroom with a broad smile upon his face. He winked at the bartender, who also smiled, and then all of the board­ ers who were in there smiled with them.. So runs the world away at this hostelry by the sea, and the guests of last sea­ son, who delight in recounting the many curious doings of the proprietor, often find themselves wondering what surprises he inay have in store for them next summer.--New York Tribune.
