How » Rejected Suitor Compelled Miss Mo- Kinney to’ Reconsider. ‘Tar Stam announced yesterday that Judge Hagner had made a decree snnulling the mar- riage of Charles E. Reed and Mary Stewart Me- Kinney, contracted November 19, 1890, Miss McKinney, the complainant, alleging thnt she had been forced tothe marriage by threats. The story told in the papers filed in court, as outlined in Tux Stan yesterday, is « very ir~ regular one. Reed is about twenty-five years old and Miss McKinney about « year younger. ‘They were both clerks in the census office, and it sppears that Reed had proposed marriage to Miss McKinney and been rejected It appears from the testimony that the parties were both clerks in the pension office, aud that Reed fell in love with Mies McKinnley and be- lieved that “she loved him, bnt did not know it,” and, as he afterward told one of her friends, that “she did love him, but said she did not," and that “he knew her better than she did her- gor nore his suit urgently and ovn- with protestations, promises and threats, stantly and, it is asserted, declared she should marry no one cleo, oF that if she did not marry bim he would kill ber. He would take no refusal, came home with her from the office, met her ‘in the street, waylaid her behind tree boxes and came ‘out to surprise hor at intersections and resorva- tions. This persecution, she says, ‘destroyed my heaith, both of mind and body. I was not able to est or sleep or to do my work at the office. I did not dare to go out of my house at night or evon to walk: slong the streets in the daytime.” One after- noon as they came from the pension office he made her promise to meet him; she did so, and they went to the house of Rev. Asbury 8. Reiley of the M. E. church on 9th and S streets, She says that ‘on the way up I plead with him agvin not to force me to marry him, but he said that was his determination, he would not be stopped then, aud that if I showed signs of distress or agitation through the ceremony I must suffer the consequences.” They went together into the house of the minister and were married, Justice L. I. O'Neal being one of the witnesses. Neither the minister nor any fe else raw any thing strange ist the marringe, but the husband and wife parted with the un- dervtanding that there wasto be no consumma- tion and the matter was to be kept cocret, but the licenso got into the papers and the marriage became public. Then, at his request, she met him at the office of Mr. David McKnight. Mr. McK. says: “She agreed to meet him on day appointed and .I notified him. He came to my office immediately after 4 o'clock und #0 did she. I stepped into } an adjoining room, where I beard thr con- Yersution.

A SUGGESTION TO CONGRESS. Col. Edward Daniels, formerly *colonel first Wisconsin cavalry, has written the following to ‘Mrs. Loga: “Greeting and welcome home after so worthily representing us abroad. The hearts of all soldiers beat proudly and gladly at your return once more. Now I want to suggest again what I wrote you a year ago. The ouly fitting thing is that the nation through Con- gress shall invite its veteran defenders to see the capital once, free of cust, before they die.

Of course three sro not many to brag of, but Falls Church people thought that because their town spread out for several miles that alone should entitle them to first place. Asa matter of fact, the returns show popula- tion of Herndon 795—Falls Church, 792. It is only recently that attention has been brought to the healthfulncss and desirability of this place.

About half way between Manson and Rockwell the constable and deputy were overtaken by Maginnis and George Brown.

A dispatch from Des Moines, Towa, says: The governor has received another telegram con- cerning the mysterious and fatal cattle discase that is carrying off the bovines in Palo Alto county in such large numbers.

The spread of the disease continues, however, and the governor has instructed the state veterinarian to investigate.
