Hgt PREVENTING A B0AHDAL7
Hk' The -lory of the marriage of the Iter. H.

B- Emu. Chjubtds, a bewitching widow, pub-
K ' liahod exclusively by Tin Would thli mom-

K been united had not the rnletof the Church

H, After' that the reverend tultor had a
HjT chance of heart and deilrod to break
Htf his engagement. The case waa transferred
Br from the Court of Cupid to that of thelearnod
Bl Bishop of the. diocese. Dr. Pottm de-
K, elded that the mlnistor must keep his word

B mlsht refuse to allow her to bocomeaoin
K aught but name.

PPBy the presiding minister united the couplo in

PPHNr These remarkable people, now that tho story
PPB la known, deolara their action to have been
PPPST Induced to ' ' provent a scandal " in the
Btt Church. Was not this mockery of marriage
PPPjp tho greatest scandal that could be put upon

Bf Tho woman who is now Mr. Auld'b wife la

APREmPLOT.
Mayor Hewitt Inadvortontly Lots
tho Oat Oat of tht Bag.
a a
The County Deraooraoy's Noat
Llttlo Sohomo Exposod.
Smith and Bookman to Resign Bo
fors Howltt Loaves Office.
The details of the plot of the County
Democracy to obtain control of the Depart
ment of Publlo Works and the Law Depart
ment for the ensuing four years haa been dis
covered. D.Lowber Smith and Henry B Beekman are
to resign and to be reappointed Commissioner
of Publlo Works and Corporation Counsel re
spectively some time between Deo. 10 and
Jan. 1, and will fleht to maintain themselves
in office for four years.
Mayor Hewitt hinted this yesterdsy, and
the Tammany Hall leaders, wno had hoped
that Thi Etinino Wobud's assertion that
such a scheme was brewing was not true,
are to-day obliged to admit that there now
seems to exist no doubt that the County
Democraoy. with the osalttance of Mayor
Hewitt, will attempt to deprive Tammany of
the choicest fruits of her recent victory.
Tammany Hall men had based thoir hopes
on Mayor Hewitt. They did not believe that
he would place hlmnolf on record as a law
breaker by appointing successors to Commis
sioner D. Lowber Smith and Corporation
Counsel Beekman for full terms from
Dec. 10.
They did not beliovo that Mayor Hewitt
would dor set himself up as a court of last
resort and declaro tho unconstitutionality of
tho Consolidation act, which makes the term
of offlco of those two officials expire May 1,
1889.
A prominent Tammany nail man sold to
day: " Yes, sir: the Countios aro going to try to
steal the Publlo Works and the Corporation
Counsel's office. There is no uso of further
coddling ourselves with tho belief that tbey
won't.
" Mayor Hewitt has let tho cat out of tho
bag. Ho says thut thern exists no conspiracy.
' ' Of course not. Mayor Howltt Is too hon
orable a gentleman to become a political con.
splrator.
" Neither would he violato the law which
plainly says that the terms of office of the
Commissioner and the Corporation Counsel
expire May 1.
' Uncle A brum's resources are many, and
he has found a war to avoid bem? both a
conspirator and a law-breaker, uud he has
been getting tho evidence ready in advance
to prove his iunooence.
' Ho asserted yesterday that ho would fill
every vacancy which exists or may exist prior
to Jan. 1, and takos the trouble to tell the re.
porters that if Corporation Counsel Beekman
wore to resign he would appoint his suo
cetsor. " In that statement is to be found tho meat
in the cocoanuU It reveals every dotail of the
schemo.
" The position of the Counties is that the
Consolidation act is unconstitutional, and
that the terms of office of the offioials to bo
apDointed expires Dec. 10.
" Mark lnyiwords. Some timo between
Dea 10 and Jan. 1 D. Lowber Smith and
Henry It. Beekman will reBlgn.
" According to his previously expressed in
tention Mayor Hewitt will fill tho vacancies
most probably by the reappointment of the
, same individuals.
"They will not bo appointed for any
speolfied time, but for ' unexpired terms.'
; "If the position of the County Democraoy
that the Consolidation aot is unconstitutional
Is correct, tho ' unexpired terms ' for whioh
they will bo appointed will ond four years
from Deo. 10, 1883. If not they will go out of
officii May 1 next.
, "By this clever arrangement Mayor Howltt
. will clear himself both of the oharco of con
spiracy and law-breaking.
' ' He will simply appoint for ' unexpired
terms, and will let the inoumbents of tho
offlres Debt it out in the courts with the men
whom Mayor Grant will appoint next May,
as he suggested in his interview of yesterday,
when he said :
" ' If anybody objeoted to my action in the
matter it would be his duty to go to tho
court and test the question.'
" This is the scheme, you may depend on
it. It is a pretty sobetne, too. I
"Mayor Grant's appointees will find n
lively time before them next Bummer when
they try to take possession of those two de
portments. "
Asked why he thought that D. Lowber
Smith and Corporation Counsel Beekman
would be reappointed, the gentleman said
that they probably would not agree to tho
scheme If they were not to benefit personally
by it.
"IP I0D HAD A MILLION D0LLAES."
"The Evening World's" Interesting Query
Awakens Interest In (Jeorclu.
With a commendable spirit of emulation tho
Atlanta Journal, in a recent issue, devoted
nearly two columns to interviews obtained from
Georgia citizens of both sexes as to what they
would do it they had a million ilollanl.
The widespread interest which was awakened
by tills discussion in tho columnB of Tiik Kven
ixo Would, as evidenced from tho number of
letters received upon tho subject, moved the
Journal to follow up tho Idea and unbuilt to its
readers tho different expressions of opinion on
tho interesting topic.
1 Among the ladlos who were asked " what thoy
would do It they had a million dollars T" there
were but a fow eases vrhero a portion of tho
money would not be devoted to charitable pur
poses, while among tho men, whllo charity
formed a prominent excuse for getting rid or
the larso sum, in the main they would devoto
the major part to enjoying life in all its
branches. One enthusiastic individual declared
that he would run a baseball team during tho
Bummer.
Another said he would devoto soa en hundred
thousand of it in trying to make Atlanta a Pro
hibition town, whllo an unpatriotlo military
gentleman announced that he would livo the
rest of his llfo in Paris.
Congratulations are due the Atlanta Journal
for itx enterprise in following in the footsteps of
Tiir. K vis 1 mi WoBLD.and presenting Its readers
with a lively toplo for disousslon, which is allko
appreciated by the young and old.

IS THIS WHY JACKSON FLED?
The Absconding Treasury Cashier'- WUb
Co-respondent In a Divorce Salt.
A divorce Jnst obtained in tho Supreme Com-
throws a now light on tho caso of Henry Martin
Jackson, the Sub-Treasury caBhier who ab
sconded in October, 1887, with $10,000. Jack
son's flight was considered very strange, ai ha
might as casilr have ta-cn a million as a foW
thousands. ....
Jackson's friend, Nathan, II. Sanford, of
Goahen, N. Y., has Just been divorced from bis
wifo on the latter's application, the co-respondent
being Mrs. Jackson, wife of the absconding
Testimony taken before Rofereo James R
Bn anton showed that Hanford and Mrs. Jaoksoa
were seen leaving a house of ill repute together,
and the fact that the couple were, shown tQ bar
been intimate moro than a year leads to the ba.
lief that Jackson was made reckless by tt
wife's Unfaithfulness.
