John Buckner's Intended Bride
Elopes With Ed. Young
Her First Love
High Society Sensation.
For several weeks past the principal
topic of conversation has been the com
ing nuptials of Mr. John C. Bucknei
and Miss Bertha Wilson, which were
arranged to take place Wednesday even
ing. The marriage did not come off at
the schedule time as Miss Bertha eloped
Sunday with her first love a young man
from Boston named Ed. Young.
The Buckner-Wilson marriage was to
have beon a great society evnt. The
high contracting parties were in the
swim as it were. Mr. Buckner is quite
a nice looking and well-tcdo young man,
bigMy respectetftly all wlio know him.
iVIits Wilson, who made her debut last
^ason, is a beaatiful blonde of 19.Knuckles.
rfit.ee her advent in society she has been
one of the leading belles and many
hearts have been laid at her feet. When
it was learned that she had accepted
Mr. Buckner as her life partner many
were the congratulations which poured
in upon the young man who had {suc
ceeded in gaining her young and tender
affection. John Bu.kner was counted
the luckiest man in town. The swell
young men looked on him with ill con
cealed envy. But alas,! The beautiful
bride has flown with another and Buck
ner is said to be nearly crazed by the
terrible blow. He had elegantly fur
nibhed his house, No 2918 Bntterfield
street and awaited with impatience the
day which would make the beautiful
Bertha his own foiever. On several oc
casions Buckner aud his intended had
gone to Quinn Chapel, whe.e the mar
riage was to have taken place, and prac
ticed walking up the aisle, so thai they
would make a graceiul appearance.
Buckner had spent a great amount ol
money preparing for the wedding and
when cautione i by lus friends to bemeaP
careful lest he get in too deep he re
plied, I wish to make this the one
great event of my life. I cannot be
stingy now."
Buckner has many fiiends and his
employer Mr. Woemer had prepared a
$300 wedding supper as his wedding
present. Kinsley, the cateier was to
have given 500. All day Wednesday
the presents came pouring in until it
was estimatea there were fuily $2,000
north of presents of every conceivable
kind, both useful and ornamental had
been received. These will, of course, be
returned. The mother of Miss Wilson
is prostrde with grief over her daugh
ters elopement as it was entirely unex
pected to her, and she was greatly
shocked when Bue received a telegram
from her daughter dated at Boston, an
nouncing her marriage to Ed Young.
Last Sunday, Ed. Young arrived in the
city. He did not venture near the
residence of his love but Pent his trusted
lieutenant, a man by the name of Camp
bell, to try to persuade "Birdie" to give
up Buckner andflywith him. Camp
oell came and remained three hours in
close conversation with Mias Wilson,
and it seems that his arg-ments failed
in effect, for when be left Birdie retired

The crowning glory of the National
Era was that most famous of novels,
"Uncle Tom's Cabin," by Mrs. Harriet
Beecher Stowe. which began in the is
sue of June 1,1851, and ended April 1,
1852. Before it was hal finished it had
created such a sensation that the Jew
ells, of Boston, had it etereotyped, and
immediately after it was completed in
tbe paper it was published inbuok form.
In its earlier stages of publication in the
uewi-paper it seemed to fall flat. The
circulation ofthe National Era was 15,-
OOO-when-^rjncle Tom'' was begun. On
the 1st of August, 1852, shortly after the
gieat romance was completed, the cir
culation had g.ne up to 19 000. On

Jackson Ignores Sullivan.
London, Nov 16 Peter Jackson said
to The New York World correspondent
to-night: I have received no challenge
from Sullivan, and I am paying no at
tention to him. It is not long ago since
he said he would not fight a black man.
I see no reason now why a black man
should go out of his way to arrange a
fight with him 1 am going to stay in
England awhile and make some money,
and go to the provinces after leaving
London. Sullivan's talk about a match
for $40,000 is all nonsense."
Death Cured Hint.
Plainfield, N. J., Nov. 16.A little Col
ored boy emploved on John Johnson's
farm, near Stirling, a village in the
Watchung Mountains, back of Plain
field, met a strange death during the
week. He was extiaordinarily fond of
milk fresh and warm from the cow'
udder, and contracted tbe habit of suck
ling like a calf at the teats ol the cows
on the farm. To break the child of this
habit Farmer Johnson recently had a
wire muzzle made and locked on him.
With this muzzle over his head, tbe
little fellow slipped away to the pasture,
and while tugging at the udder of a
Holstein, the cow became vicious, kicked
him over and trod in bis face. One of
the steel rods of the muzzle was broken
and one end driven through the lad's
eye into his brain. He lay unconscious
in the pasture several hours before he
was found, and died soon after being
carried into the house. The neighbors
heard about his death, and have wnce
Farmer Johnson very uncomfort
able with their threats. The boy had
no relatives in the neighborhood, and
was buried without an inquest*
