Albany Journal, A strnngo story is told by a Brooklyn young man concerning an adventuro he had in Saratoga last summer. Out of this adven turo has grown a suit for the annulment of a marriage Whilotho Brooklyn young gen tleman was sitting on the piazza of the Grand Union Hotel at Saratoga last summer a beautiful young girl passed. She had lu minous black eyos.dark wavy tresses, a cloar, olivo complexion and a lithe, shapely figure As flbo passed him tho young man threw at Lor a flower and observed that she stooped and picked it np. Tho following day he united patiently on the piazza and whon alio nppoarod offorod her a bouquet, which sho accepted. From this meeting grew an inti macy which dovoloped into a wedding en gagement. Tho parents of tho young lady, who woro Uobrowa, objoctod to her mar riago with tho young man, who was a Itoman Catholio, but tho objection did not soem to bo too sorlous to bo overcome. At all ovents tho young couplo agreed that thoy would bo married privately, and for that reason, accompanied by a servant in tho em ploy of tho young lady's mother, tho couplo drovo to Ballston Spa in Soptcmbor, and woro married by a clergyman in that village Thoy then roturnod to Saratoga, and the young lady wont to her mother's home and tho young gentleman to tho hotol whoro ho had boon boarding. Thoy met sovoral times thereafter. Tho young lady, it is said, re quested tho clergyman, when the marriage was iorformod, not to mako any record of Ft, but ho declined to ncreo to this. On tho threshold of tho door she took tho certlflcato and tore it into f rnpments. ns is asserted. Wliilo tho young husband was walking the streets of Saratoga a wook aftor his marriago, a man steppod up to him, tapped him on tho shoulder, and said i " What do you mean ?" Tho bridegroom, startled and amazod, naked for an explanation. "Why," said tho strangor, "what do you mean by going off with my wife and marry ing her?" Tho Brooklyn man Bald it was true that ho had boon married, but he did not know that ho hnd married anybody's wifo. ' ' Well, you have." said tho stranger, " and I will hold you rooponsiblo for it." Tho bridegroom wont at once to tho houso of tho bride's parents, confronted tho mother nnd demanded to know what the story meant, Tho mother replied that it was truo and up braided film for abducting tho young lady who waB already tiod by tho marriage bond. A suit for tho annulment of tho marriago was brought in Brooklyn and the caso has boon sent to a roferoo. It is said that some interesting testimony has boon drawn out and that sonsational dovolopmonts aro ex pected boforo tho case closes. Tho young lady tolls hor friends that sho was not resnonBiblo for what she did; that sho wns under tho influence of the young man, and that whon she ontored the carriago to drivo to Ballston ho gavo hor n largo bou uuot, and sho believes that she inhalou some Blcoping powders that ho had placed upon tho blossoms, and that this bereft hor of her BoiiBos.

A Specimen Chapter of New York Ufa Wkleh Gets lata OuUaf.Town Papers, trttlllurf Jl iTtu Tori UUr. The old Scotch rhyme that "the belt laid plans of mice and men gang aft aglee" Is continually proving true, especially in the esse of a Mr. Marvin here In New York. Mr. M. was a clerk In a big wholesale atore here until nve yeara ago, when he married the daughter of his employer and began to do nothing bnt live on the old man. In return for the privilege of spending bis wife's private fortune he haa treated her like the scamp that he la. There were no children, and tho father a year ago deter mined to be rid of his unworthy son-in-law. De tectives were employed to wstch htm, bat so well covered were his trscks that ho escaped until Frltiay last, when he wss confronted In a situation that will deliver one unhappy and deluded woman from a designing and unworthy husband. Mr. Marvin had to go to St. Louis on business connected with hU wile's property the only busi ness he attends to. He returned to New York laat Wednesday, and on Friday a neat express psroel waa delivered at tne houae addressed to Mr. Mar vin. For some reaaon, possibly because upon pressure Mrs. 21. discovered it waa a emalllsh female slipper, the lady opened the package and beneld a No. S Louts Qulnzo slipper made of old gold and crlmaen brocade. It was a very ex pensive bit of footResr, and Inside on the blue silk lining, In small letters, was found the name ' Miss Campbell, " and on the sole, tucked away next the high heel, on the arched SpanUh Instep, was a tamp bearing the name and addrees of a well known Broadway ahoe atore. Slipped Inside tne slipper the lady found the ord of a second-rate hotel in Cincinnati on which was written: "Dear Bint ThU wss round by the chamber maid after you left, and, consulting a New York directory, we were enabled to restore It to you. Respectfully yonrs, IUsu A Waffles, ' Proprietors Hotel de ronest." Saturday morning a party called at the Broadway shoo store to get the address of a Miss Csmpbell, for whom they msde shoes. The good-natured clerk examined the.booka, and found they made shoes for three MUs Gampbells. What sort of look lug lady was she T The person seeking the Infor mation rememberao-the slipper waa a No. sand A width, and aald 'a slender lady," and the clerk decided It waa Miss Campbell, of Lexington avenue. The Lexington avenue house was a flat house, and Saturday afternoon a very agreeable msn hanging around the neighborhood got ac quainted with a half dozen aervanta belonging to ihebuUdlng. The janitor's son went around to Third avenue and had several drlnka with his new made friend, and from him tho agreeable man learned that Mlaa Campbell was a great swell, lived very high, and had plenty of fine friends snd one whiskered gentleman who seemed to be her "steady company." The steady compsny's de scription tallied with that of Mr. Marvin's, with the exception of the whiskers, and the fact that Miss Campbell had been away the paat two weeks Incresscd the favorable symptoms of the case. The agreeable gentleman went away, bnt his place waa tilled In part by another, and that other aw Marvin, evidently dlsgnUed. enter the bonse at 9 o'clock Saturday evening. At 10. 80 he had not como out, when an elderly gentleman and two aevere.looklng men drove up, rang the Janitor's bell snd had a ehort bnt satisfactory understanding with thst thrifty person. The result wss that ail four went to the third, which was the Campbell flat. Tae bell was rung twice, when a voice ssked who was there. The Janitor ssld "there was a strong smell of smoke coming up from the kitchen of the flat next door, and be wanted to go out on her Are csospe to look in, as the family bad not yet got home and he could not open any doors. " The unsuspicious Miss Campbell cloaed the parlor door and opened the hall door. Tho Janitor struck down the paasage toward the kitchen, but the other three gentlemen opened the parlor door and turned up the light thst was burning dimly. An overcoat, hst and false whiskers wore thrown on a plush loungo, which the elderly man picked up, and, with the two followlnr the trio, passed under a lovely draped arch Into the boudoir of MUs C The lsdy fled with affright Into a dressing-room beyond, while an Indignant voice from the bed demanded to know what "this Intrusion meant 7" Tho honae U on are I" cried the woman hastily dressing In the next room. " Goodness, you don't ssy sol" exclaimed the voice, as a man In mauve silk underwesr sprang into the centre of the room. ' Here's your convenient whiskers, Jsmcs," ssld the old man, the rest of your clothes will be sent you. This Is ray son-in-law. " Mr. Jones snd Mr. Brown fully Identified him. The old msn turned on a blazo of gas. A shrill shriek rose from the Inner room, and Jamea sat down on the recently occupied bed with a sickening thud. "Your racket'a played, young man," remarked one of the detectives with cruel familiarity. " Don't never darken my doors, Mr. Marvin. My daughter wlU never willingly see you again: we have worked very hard for thU evldenoe, and she shall be given a divorce before the new year If It costs sso.ouo." How horrible the mention of that sum sounded In tho discovered men's ears it reminded him of the vaat resources of bis father-in-law and that they were a sealed book to him thenceforth.

Ills par ents had come from Ireland many years bo fore. HIb fathor, John Biordan, died whon tho Httlo boy was throo years old and on his deathbed Mrs. Biordan dovoted hor son to tho priesthood. Ho was a very bright boy nnd could read Latin when six years old. Ho roceivod the rudiments of a good education at St. Patrick's School, and at tho ago of thirteen was placed in charge of the Jesuit Fathers at tho CoUego of St. Francis Xavier, in Sixteenth street. Aftor studying tho classics there for flvo years ho went to St. Joseph's Seminary, at Troy, to complete his theological education. In July. 1878, he was ordained to the min istry by Bishop Mclnerny at Troy, and was sent to St. Bernard's Church, iu West Four teenth street, as assistant. He was there nearly ten years, and was then transferred to St. Peter's Church, in Barolay street. His mission work in the lower part of tho city brought him frequently in contact with immigrants, und he was tho first to realizo the necessity of organized effort fqr .the ro. liof of tho multitudes of foreigners in need of spiritual advice and timely assistance who annually pass through tho immigrant dopot at Castle Garden. Ho left St. Peter's and devoted himself to the task of establishing at Castle Garden a Catholio Bureau for the purpose of affording protection and supplying advico and infor mation to immigrants, especially women. In connection with the bureau ho started n home or boarding-house, whero immigrant girls might be sheltered from tho dangers of the city, and a chapel whero they might re ceive the blessings of religion. In January, 1884, with the aid of voluntary contributions, Father Biordan purchased tho building. 7 State street, and fitted it up as a Home. The Commissioners of Emigration allotted him a room in Castle Garden free of charge, which Father Biordan furnished as an office. The good work went on and many thou sands of foreign-born men and women havo to bless tho uamo of Fathor Biordan for their first start in the New World. In a very short timo tho Church recognized tho valuablo work done at Castle Gordon, and Cardinal McOloskey formally instituted tho mission by the name of the " Mission of Onr Lady of the Bosary," and Father Biordan was appointed director. Father Biordan offected a great change in tho treatment of immigrant girls. They wero kept out of tho hands of designing persons, given n temporary homo and provided with respectable employment, Fathea Biordan was non.Boctarian in his benefactions. When moro than six hundred indigent steerago passengers of the wrecked steamer Oregon wero landed at Cnstlo Garden in the spring of 1880 they woro supplied with food, lodging, money and clothing by tho mission.

A e y THUEE ABBITBATOBS TO DECIDE WHSTJUB IT IB 0B80EN& Letters DrAhe Hundred Fonrlng In on the Publishers Whs Refused ta Print nta Attack on Catholio Priests Dr. Fulton Calls On Comstork to I.eara If the Dash WlU Do Suppressed Dy Mm. fSriClAL TO TUB WOM.D. Boston, Dec. 15. Tho nnti-Catholio ndvo ' caio, Dr. Fulton, who just now is engaged in a controversy with tho Band & Avery Com pany, which has rofused to publish his book, " Why Priests Should Wed," on account of its alleged obscene passages, has sent a letter accepting their offer to leave the question at issue to arbitration. Dr. Fulton alleged that tho action of the firm has placed him in a very bad position, ns it has debarred him from finding any other publisher. Tho Band fc Avery Company stated its objection to carrying out its con tract in such an energetio manner that the publlo has been led, ho feels, to a wrong imprcssiontof tho roal character of tho work. Tho company, however, has not changed its opinion of what is its right course in the matter and will write a letter to tho author of " Why Priests Should Wod," agrcolng to his acceptance of its offer of arbitration. Tho matter has not ceased to attract atten tion outside of printing offices, and as many as 250 letters about it havo been recolvod by tho firm. Tho communications aro, of course, unsolicited and reflect all shades of opinion. Somo praise tho firm for tho stand it haa taken and others condemn it in very sevore language Oqe writer, whoso lottor was received yes terday, put most of what ho wanted to say into a pen-and-ink skotch, representing tho mombers of the firm as sucking tho Pope's toes. No notice has bocn taken by tho firm of these communications, as it would have token tho time of several olerks to attend to them. But all the correspondents have not been personal and offensive, and good argu ments have boen brought to bear on tho firm from both Bides. , While theso letters woro for tho most part quite interesting, and in somo instances quito instructive, tho firm has no moro timo to spend in following them, and it requested TriE Would correspondent to say to tho public for tho houso that thoro could be noth ing gained by addressing any more letters to the company. Tho letter which is appended practically puts tho question beyond further dispute for the present, nnd until tho commission haa njudicated nothing more neod be said re garding tho matter in dispute. Dr. Fulton is determined that the commis sion or board or arbitration shall see the matter out, nnd has stated that no settlement Is possible at least at tho present. Bev. Joseph Cook has been solicited, it is said, to Bervo on tho board, but he has de clined. As yet no one has boen moro than thought of, and it will bo many days, prob ably, boforo the personnel of the board con be authoritatively announced. Tho following is Dr. Fulton's letter of acceptance t Boston, Dec is, ibst. Th Rmnd t Jtvory Company, Ointlxiikn: I have read your article in the Herald. Thanks for it. I have no other desire than to aerve the helpless women aud girls en slaved in the Roman Catholio Church. What I have aald Is bnt half the truth; the whole truth ought to be told. For printing " Den's The ology," a book which Is anthorlty with every Itorann Catholio priest, an English printer U now in an English Jail. I admlro your prudence and the atand you tako for purity. It will not avaU. Either a part of the truth must be told concerning Romanism or the '-' American people must know tbo reason why. 1 do not propose to tell anything which an Intel, llgent commission wUl not approve; therefore I propoae a commission. I will choose a man of national repute; you choosoj another; they shall choose a third. Be fore them I will appear with you, or some one who may rcpreient you, and will read to ttrem the pas sages to which yon object. If they approve them, yon shall print and publish them; It they object I will modlty them so as to meet their approval, Ia the mean time I remain very truly jours. Justin D. Fdltok. The Bov. Justin D. Fulton came over from Brooklyn, this morning, in tho rain to see Anthony Comstock and find out what was going to bo dono about his book.

But its only a row from thoir Catholio girls." " Is Mr. Comstock going to do anything in themattor?" "Oh, I don't know; but I'm not afraid of Comstock. He's a friend. He thinks that tho book has extracts from a work by Hickler that was condemned as immoral. But he was thinking of ' Den's Theology,' a book used by the Catholio priesthood all over tho world It is printed in Latin, bo that the laity can't know what it says." Mr. Comstock came in at this moment, and the reporter askod him : "Aro yon going to tako any measures against Mr. Fulton's book?" " I don't know anything about tho book. I haven't ssJBit or read it, and only know what I got XhB tho papers." Col. Wm. u. Beochor, of 237 Broadway, called at Comstock's office while Fulton was , thoro, and was closeted for a long timo with 1 the two. Col.
