Yew York World: The approaching n~uarriage of Prince Oscar, of Sweden, with Miss Ebba Munck, one of the maids of honor to his royar mother, Rueen Sophia, and the young man s re- »unciation of all his rights, preroga- jives and titles in order to wed the goman he. loved have been a severe snock to the royalties of Europe and atl those who believe with the late Prince “Vindischnatz, of Austria, that ‘‘man snly begins with a baron.” With the aeople of Sweden and Norway, however, “ny whom the prince has always been 2veatly admired and beloved on account 0! his manly qualities, this last step has” ~ut added to his po[mlurity. The marriage will take place in Eng- and within a fortnight. flur majesty, vhe queen of Sweden, who has for some time past been suffering with a severe nervous malady, arrived recently in London,where she is at present, and in- tonds remaining at Bournemouth until the middle of May. She travels under the incognitio of Conntess Haga, and is accompanied by Prince Oscar, who trav- els under the incognitio of Count Grips- holm, and Miss Munck, three other maids of honor, the court chamberlain, and the court physician. It has been decided that the marriage will take place in Bournemouth. Two clergymen will come from Stockholm to perform the ceremony. Prince Oscar, duke of Gotland, is the second son of King Oscar II. and was born November 10, 1859. He is a young man of sterling character and an effi- cient officer in the Swedish army. He isof a religious disposition, a quality not frequently met with in princes, an devotes much of his time and money to the cause of charity, He has traveled extensively and has written a history of his travels in conjunction with his brother. His love affair with Miss Munck dates back for ten years, but not till recently did he divulge his feclings even to Miss Munck herself, Accord- ing to the Swedish constitution any prince of the royal family contracting a morganatic marriage must reaounce his right to the succession to the throne together with all the titles, preroga- tives and emoluments incident to his osition. This Prince Oscar has done. t was only after much earnest and per- EG ng cffort that he obtained the royal assent’to his marriage with Miss Munck and then it was owing mainly to the pleading of his mother. Miss Munck is a descendent of a fam- ily long known in the history of Swe- den, One of the most remarkable of tho family was Adolp Frederick Munck, a favorite and conrtier of Gustavus 111, Owing to court intrigues he was forced to fly to Italy in 1792, where he died an S ——— [ ———— ‘We beg to announce that we have secured the sole-agency for the sale of this Rock Spring We are prepared to quote prices on Lime, Coment, Hair, ete., for ship- ment to interior Nebraska ‘points.

His father, Colonel Munok, had a half-brother, Lieutenant-Colonel K. J. Munck, who married twice, the socond time with Baroness Henrvietta Cederstrom. Two children were born of this marringe—B. Munck, 1857, now licutenant in a cavalry regiment in Smaland, and Ebba Henrietta Munck, the betrothed of Prince Osecar, born Oc- tober 25, 1857, Her father, now dead, was colonel of a cavalry regiment in the army, and afterwards postmaster of Jonkopings. Her mother is still living at Stolkhdlm., i Miss Munck wag chosen in 1882 as maid of honer to “the crown princess, and occupied her place atcourt till 1886, She then left and devoted herself to nursing the sick in the Queen’s hospital, an institution built through the munifl- cence of her majesty, the queen of Sweden. Miss Munck was hetrothed some years ago to Licutenant Count Valdemax Von Rosen, but the engagement was broken off at the instance of Miss Munck, who. according to gossip, did not approve of the count’s rather gay life. The betrothal between his highness Prince Oscar and Miss Munck tok place January 29 in the royal palace, Stock- holm, After the young couple, in the chscncfl of their royal highnesses the ing and queen, had exchanged rings, the king, queen, crown prince and crown princess followed the affianced pair to the queen’s apartments, where the invited guests were assembled. The king there publicly announced the be- trothal and toasted the young people in the presence of the invited guests, who included Miss Munck’s nearest rela- tives, the Swedish and Norwegian prime ministers, the court functionaries, the diplomatic corps, and the tutors and military comrades of Prince Oscar. Prince Oscar and wife will be known after their marriage as Prince and Princess Bernadotte, the prince’s fam- ily name. A Postponed Marriage. Philadelphia Special: Last Wednes- day evening a group of citizens sitting on a dry goods box in front of the post- office, in the flourishing town of Red Bank, observed a large Cortland spring wagon behind an old, yellow, antedilu- vian horse, coming slowly up the village street. Inthe wagon were two young men and a pretty girl. They drew up at the local hotel, and while the young woman went into the ladies’ recoption room, the young men repaired to the bar room and took something for their stomach’s sake. The ¢itizens on the big dry goods box in front of the post oftice ealmly left their seat of observa- tion and ambled slowly into the bar room to take a look atthe strangers, who, judging from the manner in which they bought applejack for “‘all hands,” were evidently out for what Jersey are pleased to call “‘A howlin’ ‘J izz.” The young men said their re Charles Tilton, a merchant sville, and John Repphart, of ury. The young lady’s name given as Miss Maud Lloyd, also of Shrewsbury, and the citizens were in- formed that the party had paid their nocturnal visit to Red Bank for the pur- pose of having Mr. Tilton and Miss Lolyd united in the holy bonds of wed lock. Then the two young men made a visit to the Presbyterian church, where the ces of Rev. 1. R. Harbaugh were secured to tie the nuptial knot. An- other adjournment was made to the hotel, where the young lady was pa- tiently awaiting them. More apple- jack. " They finally arrived at the par- sonage, and Mr.. Repphart, the best man escorted the young woman to the altar while Tilton, the groom, accom- panied by the cities, brought up the rear with'a rather unsteady gait. The clergyman entered and psked the couple to stand up. Tilton tried hard, but could not, The result was that Harbaugh refused to perform the cere- mony until Tilton sobered up. Thursday night the citizens on the dry goods ?)nx again saw the old horse and wagon come up the road, and again they left their box to take a look at the strangers. Miss Lloyd was again left in the parlor of the hotel while Tilton baid for applejack in the barroom. An hour elapsed, but no Tilton. A search was made, but he could not be found, and Miss Lloyd, with tears streaming down her face, was forced to_ return to Shrewsbury, unmartied. Finally the intelligence was brought to her that Tilton had escaped to New York. The girl’s wrathful father and big brother have started in pursuit, but up to the Krnscnl time have failed to find him. Mrs. Lloyd received a letter from the recroant lover. It was dated at the Howard hou Brooklyn, and stated that, “filled with remorse, he dare not faco the music,” and “had got drunk again,’ and would return ‘“‘as soon as the thing had blown over.” A Simple Marriage. New York World: Edward J. Yon- dale; a building contractor in Harlem, fell in love with Jennie H. Smithin June, 1884, She and her mother lived in a flat at No. 77 East One Hundred and Seventeenth street, of which he was agent. Jennie was but fifteen years of ageand was still going to school. She was remarkably well developed, with blonde hair and large blue eyes. Yondale was a little under thirty years of age. He wears a heavy black mus- tache. Mrs. Smith objected to the couple being married, however, in 1885, not in the usual way, but simply agreed between themselves that they were married. Yondale said that for certain reasons he wished to conceal his mar- riage from his mother, with whom he lived on St. Nicholas avenue at the corner of ‘One Hundred and Seven- teenth street. It was on December 9, 1885, that Yon- dale placed the wedding ring on Jed- nie’s finger, snyhx;{: “I now become your husband; will you become my wife?” Jennie replied, “I will.” They lived with Mrs. Smith, and their mar- ried life was very happy. A little girl was born to them, whom they called Edna. The child did not live long. In the latter part of the year Yondale became less attentive to his wife, and in December he abandoned her. She found later, she eays, that he had recently married a woman named Laura Mosher, living at No. 178 Lexington avenue. IFinding that her pleadings for him to return to_her_or support her were in vain legal proceedings were begun. Col. John O’Byrne was retained by Mrs. Smith as counsel for her daugh- ter, and a guardian was appointed, Jennie being still a minor. The young wife is in delicate health. In an affidavit she claims that her husband abandoned her without cause and neglects to support her, and she, being about to become a mother, is un- able to help herself. She claims that her husband owns four houses in the city, valued at $40,000, and is driven about in his own carriage by a liveried coachman, Her Charley. Miss Jennie Warner, employed in a clerical (‘upm'hi{ in a wholesale ary goods house in Bank street, was taken before Judge Winletter, the other day, ona writ of habeas corpus, s the New York World, charged with ob- taining money by false protenses. The prosecutor, Charles Plumacker, did not appear and the young lady was dis- charged. She got herself into the pre- dicament by answering an adverti ment for a wife. Immediately upon he discharge she instituted suit for dam- Plumacker for mali- cious arrest and false imprisonment. verdl months ago Mr, Plumacker advertised for a wife, It reached the attention of Miss Warner and in a spirit of fun she answered the advertisement. The correspondence which ensued re- sulted in a personal meeting in the post office, This was followed by other meetings, always away from Miss War- ner's home—visits in the summor to “airmont park and the ice cream saloon and visits in the winter to the theater, There were presents of jewelry and other knickknacks. Mr. Plumacks es- timates that he has expended over $250 upon Miss Warner, all in exchange for her promise to marry him. Miss Warner says the jewelry and other presents are trumpery. She tired of her swain, and after several weeks’ avoidance of him _she last week flatly refused to marry him. Mr. Plumacker laid his plans for a campaign of coer- cion, which culminated Monday after- noon in the arrest of the young woman upon the charge of obtaining ice cream, theater tickets, jewelry, money and other substantial tokens of his endear- ment under false pretenses. The lady was held to bail for a hearing, and being unable to obtain bail, was detained in the station house all night. During the evening she was visited by Mr. k}lum- acker, who informed her that he as dearly loved her as ever, and demanded her hand as her ransom. Miss Warner preferred a night in the station house to a lifetime with Plumacker. Early this morning friends applied for a writ of habeas . corpus. Tho bill was issued returnable forthwith, and Miss Warner was brought into court. Mr. Plumacker failed to appear to prosecute his case, and Miss Warner was set free. : An Eloping Couple. There is a street car driver in At- lanta who is a veteran in aiding runa- way couples to find'a preacher when one 15 most needed. His name is Tid- well, and he has on 'previous occasions used his street car to beat the record on the old folks. Seeing a young coupls approach his car to-day in a nervous manner at the correr of Broad and Marletta, he thought'of a marriage in an instant and stood with his hand on the brake and eyes on the couple, ready to “)ut the whip to the mules at the first intimation of pursuit. The young man gave his name as Edward Toole and said he wanted to go to Mr. Norcross. *‘I saw Brother Norcross pass us just now going up town, but if you want to get married Brother Ellis down here on ‘Walker street can fix you up.” The young lady said she preferred Mr. Norcross, and at 9 o’clock he landed the couple in front of Mr. Norcross’ res- idence. Tney went in and waited for three hours until Mr. Norcross went home to dinner. The young lady "was Miss Vinnie Whitley, whoso parents liveon a farm on the Chattahoochie river. She stated that she tried once before to get married, but her parents raised such a fuss about it that the match was broken off. She told her parents that she was coming to Atlanta shopping, and getting on to the train she came to the city where she was met by her lover and together they pro- cceded to the residence of Mr. Nor- cross. Will not See Her Husband, New York World: Mrs. William Earl, of Louisville, eighteen years old, and pretty, has been hiding from her hus- band ever since their marriage, Novem- ber 11, 1887, She was found yesterday, but still refuses to live with him. She calls herself by her maiden name, Mol- ie Bdsell, and wants to get a divorce. Farl refuses, and he has never given any ground for a plea in court. Earl’s parents are striving earn- v to induce her to go to her hus- nd. Earl, a well-to-do moulder, began to pay court to Miss Lidsell over two years ago. Her mother at once favored his suit, and when he proposed, urged ac- ceptance. She finally prevailed, and the engagement ring was given, The girl was, however, all the time dissatis- fled with the bethrothal, and finally gave back the ring and ran away from home. She remained in hiding with a married sister for two months, when she wus discovered, forced to return home and renew the engagement. Soon after she was induced to go to Jeffersonville with with her parents, There she was taken to a minister and put through a form of marriage. She mad no re- sponses to the minister’s questions, but he supposed this was from embarress- ment. Returning to Louisville she refused to g0 to the home Earl had prepared for Ler, and, within a week, escaped to Cin- cinnati, where she has been living with relatives, lost to her husband and _par- ents.0A few days ago arl learned her whereabouts and started after her. She heard of this and returned to Louisville before he arrived. She took refuge with friends. She saysshe first met Farl when they were baptized together, three yearsago. He soon began to pay her attentions, which she neverencouraged. When he Eropnsud she knew that they could not © lmpg{ together, bocause of their ex- treme diffevences of temperament, She is modest, but of a lively disposition. Earl, who is twenty-two years old, is sober, industrious and quiet. A Man in the OCloset. New York World: Richard B. Car- ter, stovedore, is passing through a matrimonial experience which, had he followed the elder Weller's advice, would have been saved him, Whether the fault lies with Richard or the widowed mother of five grown daugh- ters, who, through the offices of two clergymen, became Mrs. Richard B. Carter two months ago, does not appear from the records of Jeffeson Market Po- lice court, at which tribunal the pair have been pouring forth tales of woe and counter-woe since the honeymoon was but two weeks old. Readers of the Wold will remember Mr. Carter as the husband who com- plained of the quality of his spouse’s isses. At least, so Mrs. Carter al- leged on theloccasion of her first visit to Jefferson market, more than a month ago, to charge Carter with venting his dissatisfaction with her mode of oscula- tion ina box on the ear. The matter was amicably adjusted in court, and sinco then the lady, who is a boarding- house mistress at No. 477 West Twenty- second street, has made repeated vyisits to court as complainant against her husband. Yesterday she declared that he had broken into the house through the basement window and ranged the halls ‘“like a madman.” When Justice O'Reilly told her that a man commits no crime in breaking into his own house and that, therefore, no war- rant could be issued for the successor of the late lamented father of the five. Mrs. Carter remembered that Carter had met her Monday morning at Twen- ty-socond street and Tonth avenue and had ‘‘called her out of her name.” this a warrant was issued against Ca for disorderly conduct, but before the j ink was dry upon it Carter entered the court room in search of a subpeena for Kuto Kearney, formerly a seryant in his wife’s employ, but whom he declared Murs. Carter had spirited away to pre- venther testifying in some contemplated action at law. “Why, judge,” said Mrs. Carter, “‘he used totry to make love to the girl, She had her swectheart in the kitchen with her one evening and when she heard him (Carter) coming down stairs she hid her beau in the closet. The door was left ajar and he saw Mr. Car- 0 hug Kate.” This dre 1 indignant denial from the accused, who also declared that he was at_work on the Atlas line pier, where he has been employed for many years, at the time his wife alleges he in- sulted her on the street, and as numer- ous witnesses substantiated this Judge scharged him, notwithstand- ing Mrs, Carter’s emphatic asservation, **He insulted me; I don’t care if } ad the whole world to swear otherwise.” Eighry-Four and Sixty-Six. New York World: The populous vil- lages of Rye and Mount Vernon, on the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, will soon be bound together by a new and closer tic than has hitherto existed. This new bond will be the union of the oldest regident in each vil- lage, who, if nothing unforseen inter- venes, will be married in a day or two. The prospoctive bridegroom is an_octo- genarian and his expeotant bride is a soxagenarian. Edward Underhill, of Rye, now over eighty-four years old, is about to tako upon himself this new responsibility. His family is one of the oldestand most respected in Westchester *county, and is connected with the Pells and Puadys. He has buried two wives and has been blessed with twelve children. His fifth daughter, Mrs. William H. Tyler, with whom he lives, is fifty.five years old. Mrs. Julia Marden, who is to be his bride, 1s sixty-six years old, but does not look so old. She has been a resident of Mount Vernon for over thirty-five years. She is descended from an old English family whose name is now nearly extinct. “Yes,” she suid in answer to the re- vorter’s question, ‘“‘everything was ready for the wedding last Wednesday night. Friends came here and took mo to Rye to be married, but when we reached there Mr. Underhill was sick in bed. He had been out for a walk in the afternoon and had caught cold. He said he couldn’t think of having the ceremony performed while he felt so badly. So we decided to put off until he is well. Thatwill not be long. Just wait till you see him. He’s the spryest "fi“ you ever saw for eighty-four years old. ‘‘He asked me to be his wife,” said she, anticipating a question. ‘‘He and I have known each_other for thirty-five ears, ever since I lived here. You see am alone and there are lots of young folks at his house and we want to be to- gether. He has been wanting me to' marry him for two years and he says he wants me awfully. ~The date isn’t de- cided upon, but it will be all right when he gets well. Mr. Underhill was found in his bed taking a nap. Near by stood a big bunch of roses, which Mrs. Marden had intended to wear the night of the wed- ding. In his illness she had sent them to him. Outside the door played several pretty grandchildren. On being awak- ened he greeted the visitor kindly and gave him a grasp of the hand that would make many a younger man flinch. He is a fine specimen of manhood. There is scarcely a gray hair in his chestnut-brown hair, his voige is firm and full and he said he weighed 180 pounds and could walk anywhere. “I am much better,” he said, “‘and will be out in w day or two. The doctor says something is the matter with my ki neys. This is the first sickness I have ever had except a little rheumatism.” “Yes, vou must hurry,” said an occu- pant of ,'.ho room; ‘‘your bride will be fotE. 2 A smile of gladness flitted over the old man'’s face and his eyes sparkled 1%ke a boy’s ,” he answered. he knows I will get well. All will be right in time.” Mvr. Underhill said that he was born in this city in 1804, When a young man he was a volunteer fireman and ran with *‘the boys” on Engine No. 4. He was an old-time watchman in 1852 before there was any municipal police. CONN ALITIES, When young men first begin to love It’s O, my darling, my pretty turtle dove!
