The Newly Wedded Pair Will Take a Tour With Barnum and Theh Go to Maly. A tesm of bay thoroughbrods drew the handsome oarrisge in which Mra, Gen. Tom Thumb and the Liliputian Count Primo Magri rode to the Church _of the Holy Trinity, In New York, on Monday afternosn, April 6, They cantered up to the reduced white canopy before the wide church doors to a narrow pathway in a dense throng of men, women and chil- dren. It took fifty pollcemen to open a way for the carriage. Men_and women hid the four corners of Forty-second sireet and Madison avenuo from view, crowded the roadways full and filled the house windowa with bunches of curl- ous faces. Men and boys who could find an inch of side- walk to stand on hung on in clusters, on lamp posts and telegraph poles, and stuck fast to the ornamental lamps that light tha church gateways at night. 1t took the tiny members of the bridal party ten minutes to get from the carrisge door to the little reception room in the corridor, where they stopped awhile to throw off thelr outer wraps and group for the wed- ding march, Nobody was admitted to the church without a card. The assembly was notable. Men and women who are famous figures in moolety were mingled with theatrical celeb- rities, politic'ans, club men, dudes and pollcemen. The womea outnumbered the men two to ome. In the galleries they rose tler above tler in banks of Easter millinery, On the floor they stood on tip-toe on the pew seats, sat in rows on the pew backs, clambered on Axminster ottomans and banked them- selves around the chancel stairs six rows deep. B NOTABLE ATTENDANTS, Mrs, Paran Stevens and a party of friends had two pews. Mrs. Auguet Belmont looked on near by and otber seats were occupied by members of the Astor, Harpe and Vanderbilt families Mayor Grace, who had been invited, wasn't there, but some of his family were. Mr, Barnum had received thous- ands of requests for inyitations that he coald not grant becaute the limlt was reached long before he got the letters, The sirains of Mendelssohn's wedding march floated from the gold-frescced or— gan at3:30 o'clock; forty policomen, who stretched in compact file along elther slae of the central alele, drew themselves up statuetquely; the 3,000 spectators all stood up together with a rustle of silk that sounded like the lap of waves on a sandy beach, and the bridal party slowly entered. They looked like a_procession of brilllantly dreesed dolls. Ahead walked Maj Newell, the groom’s best man, with Miss Lucy Adams, the tlny bridesmald, leaning on his arm. The Count Magri, with his bride on his arm, walked next, THE BRIDE. The bride was dressed ss elegantly as sho was on February 10, 1803, when she walked amid u similar throng in Gracs church to be married to. Gen. Tom Thumb. Her robust little form was envelcped in a gown of lavender satin, brocaded In uncut velvet. It had a court train a3 long again as the bride, d | The front was decked wlith lace beaded with pearls, Tho neck was low and the sleeves were short. Cinderella slip- pers of lavender satin adorned her feet which loosely fit a No. 6 lnfant shoe. The alippers wera buttoned over hand- rome lace stockings, A comb that blazed with dlamonds held her jet black hair coiled at the back of her head, A dia- mond necklaco with a pendant glitte red around her throat. Dlamond brace- lets sparklek at her wriste, and lavonder kid gloves that reach. ed nearly to her shoul- ders covered her shapely whito hands and atms. Tho gloves were of the sizs known as “‘four and a_ half infants,” and they wera made on a special block, In her left hand sho carried a boquet of pink la France roses that were much bigger than her head. Ncbody who looked at her smiiing face would have thought It possible that she had passed her fortleth year. THE COUNT. The Count Magrl was lu evening dress, A b'g solitairs diamond made the bosom of his glossy shirt luminous, and & gold linked chaln dangled at the walstcoat as he walked. The little major was In evening dress too, and the little bridemsid wore a gown of white satin cut walking length, with low neck and short sleoves, Long white gloves almost hid her white arm, snd a blush mantled her comely face. Her light wavy hsir was cut short and carrled at the neck, and a grace- ful bang waved above her sparkling blue eyes. Her smile was just about an inch long, and very winsonie and con- tinuous. Rector W. F. Watkins stocd amid the mass of Easter flowers at the chancel, 1u a flowing white surplice, smil- iogly awalting the party. Silver-haired Willlam Higby, of Bridgeport,who is the executor of Gen. Tom Thumb's estate under his will, took the bride's hand in his own big, white-gloved palm and gave her away to the count formally, with a bow and a graclous smile. AT THE ALTAR, Miss Lucle Adams picked the tiny weddlog ring from the pocket of her gown and the count fitted 1t on the bride's finger with a dalntiness that made the big throng of on-lookers laugh and- ibly with pleasure. Then the count im- printed a kiss on the bride's red lips, and tall Rector Watkins stooping away over until it seemed to those In the back pews that he touched the ground, klssed the little woman too. Everybody laughed pleasantly agaln as he did it. Then everybody in the church beamed smiles upon’ the raceding procossion as the party walk away and the organ pealed again, Three minutes later handsomely dressed women crowded around the chan- ocel and plucked buds from the shrubs until nothing but the green leaves were left, This lmpetuous raid way prompted by the desira to secure mementoes of the wedding, THE RECEPTION, Men and women ran atter the swiftly driven carrisge and watcbed the party alight and ascend the steps of the Mur- Hill hotel. In room 2564 the couple beld a wedding reception. Scores of women waited hours in the corrldors for a chanoe to kiss the bride and congratu- latc her. A golden-kalred three-year- old, whose face was as pretty a1 » plcture, cawe In smilingly and fitted a fresh dalsy In the groom's coat lappel. She was just as tall as he. The countess klssed her. “You are real good,” she satd, “‘and you must invite me to your wedding when you grow up,”’ Mrs. Southworth, who Is the countess’ slater; Mr. Southworth and his sister, Mrs, Bump, her slter-in-law; Mr. and Mra, Sylvester Bleecker, who were Gen. Tom Thumb's managers for neatly & quatter of a ocentury, and Miss Sarah Adams helped the couple to recelve. Baron Littlefinger stood beside Miss Adams, who Is smaller than Mrs. Gen. Tom Thumb, and stroked his heavy black mustache, DEFORE THE PUBLIC, The eount and countess will falfil their engagement with Barnum, and will be on exhibition again at the circus. The count will be Count Rosebud on the bills, They will go to Europo In May, and oventually to Italy. ““What Is your protent to your bride?” the count was asked. ‘‘An estate In Itely, with a blg mansion on It,” he re- plied.. “I inherited from my father along with my tltle.” The estate is| noar Bologna, The connt and countess ate their wedding dinner at the hotel with thelr immediate relatives, o — ‘Whert s Mississippi Pilot Says, Capt.

Some of the older officials, men who have served thelr time in. almost every position on the road, laugh at the **hard- ehips” of the present service. Sald one of these the other night: The boys think they bave & terrible time now- adays {f they are out on the road an hour longer than the time card calls for. When I began worklng for the corpora. tion, in 1847, the frelght hands went out in the morning and got back when they could. The pay was §1a_day, and at way stations we used to unload flour by carrylng the barrels on our backs from the car {o the freight house, and other thingu in the eame fashion. There was ut one track from Worcester to Albany, and if we got off the track we staid there till we could get ourselves on. There was no chance to telegraph for a wrecker to come out and help us. But the fun came in a few years later when I was conductor of the night frefght between here and Pitts- field. Wo ranout of pringfield about 6 o’cleck, and were due back at 3 in the morning, but we got in whenever we took a fancy. We kept track of all the dances along the road, and never failed to join In their late festivitlos. We would hurry through the work in the Pittsfield yard and get started for home, and then let the train standon the track for an hour or two at any station which offered a chance for a good time. What glorious sugar-eats we hadat Beck- et along In the early spring! When thera was nothing going on, we came home In a hurry, often getting here at 1 o'clock, I have come down the mount- ain in seventeen minutes with elghteen cars. I was telling President Blies about it awhile sgo when he was trying so hard to bring the frefghts to time, and he said: *‘You do that now and 1 would discharge you as eoon as I knew it.” I replied that 1t was very likely, but that times have changed. Yo see that the ‘‘old man" that was Henry Gray, didn't care. He never wouid lot anything on the track while we were out. He always i “You never can tell where to find those night-freight fellows,” Once, I remomber, & Westfeld fire company, which had been down to a Worcester muster, wanted to run home from here, and they sent up to his house for leavo, assuring him that they could get to Westfield half an hour before we were dua there. Bat it was no go; hs knew us too well. One night the englneer eaw Mr Gray get into the cab at Pitts- field, and when we stopped at Hinadale he camo to me and said “Must I run on time to-night?’ and I told him never to wind the cld man, but Min as usual, We got in hereat 1 o'clock, and tho saperin- tendent got ¢ff and walked home without saying a ‘n’d. R When Yhe road was opened the freight cars had but four wheels aplece, and they were about as large as the prevent dump cars. They would each hold in the neighborhood of twenty-five barrels of flour, some of them having a roof and others being farnished with a can- vas covering after they had been lcaded. The latter kind had no doors, although the framework was nearly as high as a mean's head. What they werc made for nobody knows. The frelght had to be put i and taken out in the best way the tralnmen could hanale it, and the best way was a protly poor one, Sometimes a,car would tumble down a bank, leaving both bunters attached to the adjoining oars, The brake for the whole train was on the engine, and the engloeer pushed it down with his foot, stage- coach fashion, when he wanted to slack up.—Springfield Republican, | e — It costs but fifty cents to get 1id of rheumatism by St. Jagobs Oll.

Here is a coatly engraving of a little girl crawling on hands and knees along a rallroad track upon a high trestle-work. The rain s pouring, and the sky,is streaked with lightning, As the plcture indicates, the story is that of a girl who a year or two saved a train out west. Now, you wonld tell this story In onoe way In the news- papers, but it must be told in another way In a ‘Second Reader.’ This is the way it rana: . **Near a large town in tho new part of our country there is a place where & raflroad track crosses a brook on a high bridge. Not far from thils bridge lives the little girl I am going to tell you about. Her name Is Kate. One stormy night not long ago, as liitle Kate stood looking out of the window, watching for her father to come home, she saw that a traln was comiog along the track. She could not see the cars,—the nlght was too dark for that,—but she could see the bright light on the front of the engine, While the little girl was looking, and just asthe traln had got to the brook nearby, all at euce the engine-light seemed te fall and go out. *‘Kate looked again, but no light was not to bo seen. Then the little girl was afrald that something was wrong. She got a lantern and ran down toward the railroad track, ~ When she got there she found that the bridge was gone—that the rain had washed it away. Then Kate knew that far below in the foaming water lay the englne and the traln she had seen from the window. Now, Kate had often watched the trains go by, o ehe knew just when to watch for them. As she stocd there by the broken bridge 1t came to her mind that snother train would soon come rushing along. *The brave girl made up her mind to save this other trainif she could. She started to run back to the nearest statlon, a mileawsy. To reach {hisstation eshe had to cross a long, high bridge over a broad river. It is not easy to cross this bridge, even In the daptime, and this was night, & dark, stormy night. Worse than all, just as Kate got to the bridge, the wind blew out the light in her lantern., “But little Kate did not give up. The brave glrl crept along the beams on her hand and knees till she reached the other side of the river. Thenshe jumped to her feet and ran on again tll] she came to the statlon. Her clothes were torn and wet, and she could hardly speak. All she could eay was, ‘Stop the train! Stop the traln!’ “Then she fell falnting to the ground. Kate was just in time. Ina minute more the cars came along, and the men of the atation ran ontand stopped them. *‘Was not Kate a brave girl? “There is an action in such a story that sustains the Interest far better than pleces about dogs or cats or ponies.

That Donovan's death 1s the heart and luogs in & weakened condition, be side sapping from h tem the yitality nec to resist the effects of the cold from Wl he died, An oye witness of the contest 1n question says: ‘At the end of the first dey Al Smith’s attention was attracted to the boy Donovan, and he made up his mind that the lad if prop: erly handled had the grit and power of en- duravce to win. Heand cthers accordingly took him in charge and furnished his tent with all the necetsary cordials, stimulante, 00d, et necessary to keep up his emergios during the race, At the end of the second day Donovan began o itire and atked to be allowed to reat, but his request was refused. During the next day he begged for a few hours’ sleep and said he could go no further, Again he was refused, and from this time on he was bandled with astoundiog brutality, Ho bogged for rest esch time he reached his tent, but was sternly instructed to keep on; and’ when finally exhausted na ture refused to be further bullied into obedieace, and he saok down falnting upon the track, hewas carried into his tent, vigor- omely rabbed with aloohol, & horn of brandy forced down his throat, his limba injected with morphine, to deaden the pain, and he was then placed upon his fest and shoved ont upon the_track. His pleadings were of o avail. ‘You'ro skating for money, now, boy, not for fun,’ said his backers, as they closed thelr eyes' and ears to the evidences of the tertible torture the lad was suffering. Donovan won the race, and_the papers sounded his _praises from New York to San Francisco, 1ut hewon it at the cost of his life, and the pale, emaciated frame, the hollow eyes, the trembling limbs, and generally pitiable condition of the poor boy when he deopped exhausted at the finish told more plainly than words that he nover skate another race. Donovan is the second viotim of this brutal mothod of apott.

There are plenty of printers in New York who set type with Bonner in the old New York Tribune, and some of them told Mr. Bonner that he was making a grave error when he threw up a good situnation to embark upon an uncertain enterprise, Yet these men are eetting type yet, and Mr, *Bonner is worth well on toward $4,000,000. His scheme was a good one, and it pald from almon ths first start. It succeeded more through the business tact of lts proprie- tor than in conscquence of great excell- evce in the publication itself, although Mr. Bonner spent money for good matier with great liberality just as_soon as he got the money to spend, His advertis- ing methods were new at that time, and once under headway the business grew with great rapldity. Mr. Bonner still goes to his desk cvery day, and looks with the same care after a thoueand de- tails, but he Is aleo taking a deal of en- joyment cut of every-day life, Heis a Yery benevolent man, and he is constant Iy helping persons whom he knows to be deserving, Ho delights In nothing eo mhuch as his horees, however, and he does not lot a ploasant day pass without going out for a whirl through the park and up the road, as the drlve above Cen- tral park {s called, horsas. his ehare of the stock in_the Sun, and the two have been the beet of friends ever since. Bonner has helped a acore of pewspapermen men in a similar manner. He is liked by the printers and Is adored by the members of Dr. John Hall's charch, with whom he worshipe. His paperis yet very prcspercus, snd in ten years more Mr. Bonner will bo worth ten millions cf dollars. o ——— FOUR HORSKES I'ALL 3,000 FEET, A Thrilling Acoident whicn Hap- pened on Independence Pass.
