Mr, Wyndham was heartily greeted when he came on the stage in the first act of “David Garrick.” Mr. Wyndham is without doubt the best Garrick on the stage now, and he did him- self full justice last night, He was exception- ally strong m the second act, where Garrick feigns intoxication to disenchant Ada I = Mary Moor), who is in love with him.

This is the first time “A Brass Monkey” was ever seen in Washington, and it caught on weil, though there is much in it that is not a corruscation of wit.

The Clipper quartette were repeatedly encored. The typical south- ern darkies delineated by Mclutyre and Heath created a great dealof merriment. Miss Helene Mora, the female baritone; Fields and Hanson, musical wonders; James’ McAvoy, singing comedian; Sinclair and Faron, sketch artists, and Frank Howard, the negro delineator; Snow and Whallen, character artists, and a roaring afterpiece, entitled “Way down South,” with a realistic steamboat explosion, all contributed to make the show a success.

The adage that “truth is stranger than fiction” has become so trite and self-evident that when strange things are discovered in actual every-day life we unconsciously feel that the day of romance is over. There are now living in Washington a married couple, Paul and Albina Hellmuth, who were born at Baden, Germany, February 1, 1847, within four miles ofeach other. Even through their childhood, playing in the streets of the same town, they were strangers toeach other. In the course of events they came across the ocean to the land of promise, and at diffierent times and by different paths they drifted to Washington, where they met and loved and wedded. Upon comparing notes to take out their marriage license they discovered. to their mutual sur- prise and gratification, that they were not only natives of the same place but rejoiced in ex- actly the same ages toa day. peeectiasinttewn ON An Old Soldier’s Unhappy Marriage. John McGrath, by John P. O'Neill, has filed a bill for divorce from Annie McGrath, He states that in 1887, being an old soldier ap- plying for a pension, he received a consider- able sum of money and was not particularly desirous of returning to the home at Hamp- ton, Va.; that he became acquainted with re- spondent, his ‘boarding boss,” and after a courtship of four or five were married November 18, 1887. He states that she represented herself as the Widow Furlong at the time and he went to live with her in Jackson alley, He states that after he had lived about two and one-half mouths with her, expending about $175 upon her, she and her two sons beat him and drove him from the house and demanded that he should = Leste “tee to her.

Murray secured a husband will be told in a few days in the general term of the supreme courtof New York city. The defendant, Winfield 8. Shaw, a young New York club man, claims that in order to induce him to marry her the widow offered to transfer to him all the estate of her dead husband. The deal was made, and three days before the marriage she transferred to her husband that was to be #14,680.42, The marri- age took place July 20, 1887. The widow evi- dently soon repented of her bargain, for last July she began an action against her husband asking for gn accounting of the estate and a judgment against the property. Somo of her om pa at this trial ree this way: “I was married on the 20th of July, 1887, to the defendant, Shaw. I was married to him before, but not legally. I mean by that that I lived with him as his wife for a year before I was married.” “Did you not ask him to marry you?” “Yes, sir. never offered to give Mr. Shaw this money if he would marry me. I don’t re- member who spoke first on the subject of mar- riage. I guess I wrote Mr. Shaw letters on the subject, It 1s nota fact thatI have made all the overtures of marriage to Mr. Shaw.” Mr. Shaw swore in substance as follows as to his first eb, weap with the Widow Murray: “I was readiag in my room about the fourth evening aiter I wento Mrs. Smiths and there was a knock at my bedroom door and I an- swered, ‘Come in, and Mrs, Murray came in, I was surprised to have her call there at that time inmy room. Idid not invite her in. From then she continued to annoy me by her attentions, One evening she followed me up the road and pleaded with me to have affection for her andlove her. I told her I could not. Isaid: ‘I cannot love you; itisnot in me to love you. Your past conduct is such that I I walked aw: he fell in the road and cried and pleaded, and finally commenced to screech and holler, and I said, ‘For heaven's sake stop; you will alarm the people‘and they will think murder is bemg committed.’ She renewed her pleading, and at that time she offered to give me everything she possessed in the world, the money and everything included, if I would marry her, and I refused.” He then went on to tell how he finally con- sented to marry her, and at the hearing nu- merous letters were —— showing the woman's infatuation for Shaw. A suit for lim- ited divorce brought by Mrs, Shaw against her husband is still Pending. Better Roads Needed. From the National Free Press. That the roads around Washington should have been allowed so long to remain in a ne- glected -and “dilapidated” condition is a mystery. While railroads do a great deal of the work once put altogether on country rouds, yet railroads of necessity are simply adjuncts to the former. It seems to have been forgot- ten by the proper authorities both of Mary- land, Virginia and the District that this city is the center of a thickly populated country and the entrepot of a very large domestic trade, For radius of twenty miles around Washington the population on both sides of the Potomac is over fifty persons to the square mile—on the Marylnnd side it is much greater, The District cities contain a population of from 250,000 to 200,000, This immense population is dependent for cheap and tresh supplies more upon the farmers living around it it is upon those who use the railroads, And the —— have been for years compelled to put up with very poor resda me has not Washington attention of the house ington keepers in 7 _— the supply of “garden truck,” eggs, butter, ry, country-cured bacon ‘and the best Bacon in the world is cured by and Virginia), fresh vo, poor in quality, not ient in quantity and very in price, Were the country roads all around this city made what they should be ali this would be remedied; the farmer instead of the buckster would be the central figure in ye farmers of Maryland tables and fruits is our markets, and both the farmers and the is sel i ne ——__+—9s—____— A Jilted Princess. ern the proceedings of the convention a report from the committee on credentials was submit- ted by Lewis H. Dougias. From that point on disorder reigned supreme. Motions, points of order, resolutious and re- marks of all kinds came from every corner of the room and the chairman seemed utterly un- able to do anything with his unruly charge. Finally he managed to make himself heard above the uproar and decided that nomina- tions for a permanent president and secretary were in order. MAKING NOMINATIONS. Mr. Jones of Arkansas nominated ex-Senator P. B. 8. Pinchback for president gnd Mr. Lewis of Virginia and Mr. Turner of Missouri seconded the nomination. Then the noise and excite- ment broke forth once more, The delegates rushed up around the chancel, shouting and gesticulating and trying to get the recognition of the chair. This would amount to nothing, as it was epee for even the chairman to make himself heard above the uproar, After quite awhile Chairman McCabe was heard to remark that no one would be recognized until all the delegates returned to their seats and order was restored. This had the desired ef- fect and nominations were proceeded with, al- though with the greatest difficulty, as disorder broke forth again and again. At the end of three hours’ fight it was found that the names of Mr. Pinchback, Rev. W. B. Derrick of New York, Bishop A. W. Wayman of Maryland and John Mitchell of Virginia had been placed in nomination. SCENES OF DISORDER. Mr. W. H. H. Hart of this city tried to make @ speech and scenes of the wildest excitement were enacted. Themen were shouting and yelling and rushing around the chancel rail at each other with clenched fists as though intent on doing bodily harm. It seemed as if noth- ing could ever restore order in such an assem- blage, but finally the announcement from the minister of the church that he would order the lights turned out if such scenes were con- tinued seemed to bring the delegates par- tiully to their senses. During the hubbub Dr, Derrick and Mr, Mitchell had withdrawn their names, leaving only two nominees in the field. and along toward midnight the roll call for the election was proceeded with. At 12:20 o'clock this morning the announcement was made that Bishop Wayman was the choice of the conven- tion for its executive. The meeting then ad- journed until today, —_—$— BROKEN BANKS REPAIRED, The Wreck of theSixth National Mended and the Others Likely to Resume, Matters are looking up in the wrecked New York banks, Besides paying out 640,000 for the recovery of his stock Mr. Leland paid to Examiner Hepburn $280,000 to cover the liabilities of the bank, including the $200,000 capital stock, and $79,000 besides, President Tappen of the Gallatin national bank informed Mr. Hepburn that 692,200 had been placed to his credit as United States bank examiner in the Gallatin national bank, In accordance with the results of his investi- gations into the condition of the bank's affairs and the new aspect which the contributions of Mr. Leland and the efforts of his friends have put upon them Mr, Hepburn was in a position yesterday to declare the bank solvent and ready to do business, He accordingly telegraphed to the controller of the currency, under whose authority he is acting, informing’ him that the Sixth national bank was now solvent, the capital unimpaired, and asked for instructions to deliver the bank to the new board of directors. Pending the answer the examiner gave his consent for the bank to open its doors, and this was done. The officers of the Lenox Hiil bank have re- tained the firm of Newcomb, Donohue & Car- dozo as legal advisers, Application was made in supreme court chambers for the appoint- ment of a receiver for the Lenox Hill ik, but Lawyer Newcomb succeeded in getting the motion delayed. He said that arrangements are being made to meet all obligations, and if successful the appointment of a receiver will be avoided. He asked for time to complete these arrangements, and stated that in all probability the bank will be able to resume in afew days, Heeaid that the resumption of the Sixth national will enable the Lenox also to resume, but that it will take several days to accomplish it. ‘The announcemeat that the Equitable bank would open its doors yesterday and pay all demands brought many of the depositors to the bank at 10 o'clock. The doors were closed, however, and Examiner Trenholm was in charge, Shortly after 10 o'clock Conrad N. Jordan, president of the Western national bank, accompanied by Arthur Meyer, a sun of Siegmund T. Meyer, arrived at the bank. They hada satchel with them full of cash and came for the purpose of opening the bank. Mr. Jordan told Examiner ‘lrenholm what he was there for and tendered the money, which he stated was sufficient to pay all demands, Mr. Trenholm refused to admit Mr. Jordan and Mr. Meyer without a permit from the Attorney General, He said be had no authority to open the bank or to receive the money, Mr. Jordan and Mr. Meyer went away, but returned in half an hour and again demanded admittance, They stated that $200,000 had been raised and the bank could meet all obligations, but Mr. ‘Trenholm was firm and they went off in search of State Superintendent of Banks Preston, ‘They said they would return later in the day and open the bank, but they did not return, The wreckers Claasen and Pell spent most of ie day in the office of the United States mar- shal waiting for bail.

In 1886 I was taken with that dreaded disease. I consulted the best doctors, who said they had DONE EVERYTHING THEY COULD for me, but without any apparent benefit. They then sent me toa noted physician who was stopping in St. Louis, but with no better results. I had to resign my situation ae agent and operator for the Missouri Pacific railroad. I had lost 66 pounds and spent over $300. At last I accidentally meta traveler for C. I. Hood & Co, who advised me to try Hood's Ssrssparilla, I bougut six bottles for 85 and after using two I thought I was no better. ButI determined to use up what Sarsa- parilla I had, and before the third bottle was gone I began to feel better, and continued to mend till I took 12 Lottles, when I more than GAINED MY USUAL HEALTE and weight. I soon obtained another situation and consider inyself a well man. I cannotspeak too highly of Hood’s Sursaparilia tc my many railroad friends.” J. M.
