said to b'inarried on~ Jue 14, no oj
suspected it until th ee weeks ago. Ti
matter became a rumor about two weel
ago.
Father Sherman is the son of Micha,
Sherman, a wealthv contractor living
No. 15Warren stret, South Brookiv
He courted Tillie 31eCov a few val
ago, but when she refusad to marry hi;
-it consented to the wishes of his iarent
and becamc a p.riet. ..t ter ordinatio
he resumed his visits to the IcC-v fai
1y, and finally indiud Miss Tillie t<
marry him. The certemon- was per
formed by Rev. Francis J. Schneider. o
No. 91 Second avenue, New York, wht
was roused out of bed to do the oiice.
The groom said he was 27 years old an.
the bride 25. It is asserted that even
after the marriage Father Sherman per
formed his priestly duties, and vehem
ent:y denied to his mother and father
that he was married.
Rev. Father Lane of the Church of
the Visitation said that he heard it in
timated that Father Sherman had been
married. "But as it was only a rumor,"
he said, "I paid no attention to it.
Father Sherman has been away on a
vacation for more -Jian three weeks, and,
of course, before taking any action in
the matter I want to wait a reasonable
length of time to see if he intends to re
turn. He should have been back several
days ago. If he does come back I will
not permit him to officiate until he clears
his skirts of these charges. I understand
that he denies that he is married. It
looks very strange, if he is innocent, that
be does not return or explain the cause
Af his absence."
At the Episcopal residence the Bishop's
xcretary said that prompt steps would
)c taken to ascertain whether Father
iherman was married or not. As he did
lot make any attempt to ofliciate, no
etion had yet been taken. Besides, no
harges had yet been made. Now, that
hle matter was the subject of public dis
ussion, prompt action would be taken.
f Father Sherman could not satisfactor
v prove that lie had not been marriedi
.e w(nld be exconmunicated. Of course
Lie marriage could not be sanctioned by
2c church, so, if he and Miss McCoy had t
een married they could never again be r
lentified with the church. I
Father Sherman's parents and his sis- s
r are heart broken. They refused to I
e any one except near relatives. F
[ichael Sherman, the priest's father is t
)out 50 years of age, and a wealthv A
ntractor. A reporter who called at o
e residence found the whole family in s.
ars. When asked if the story was true, o
"saidhefeared it was. "I'it is," he. n
id, between sobs, "the boy is dead to e
e. I never want to see or hear of a

"Do you know where he is?" m
"I have not the least idea. The farth- w

iting the illegal purposes and leaving th<
AJmaufacturc or sale open for all othei
t purposes. The result of this has beer
to convert the State into a vast entomo.
logical museumi. Nearly every thirdi
1 person has taken an interest in th<
s alcoholie pfreservation of bugs, catapil
1 lars and insects of every description,
- and, therefore, the consumiption of
>spints has abated little since the reign of
- temperance began. Defiance of the law
[ was observed in all qnarters, especially
in tle country, but no warrants were
i-sued, the authorities knowing that it
wouldbe useless to act with the old gang
of spotters, whose rascally connivance
with venal magistrates was recently ex
posed by a legislative committee. The
frauds of these spotters were so glaring
that no jury would convict on their tes
timony, and to the dismay of the Prohi
I ition party their amendment to the con
stitution seemed a dead failure, while
ties' beadljess boys presaIted them
selves and made known their alleged
nission.
The Joan-of-Arc call came to them
simultaneously while they were boiling
a dead horse, and they there and then I
resolved to devote theinselves to the ser
vice of the State as detectives. The
father of the Barrnes boys has carried on
the profession of horse knacker for many
years, and his sons have grown up to b~e
experts in the art of extracting the fats
from the carcasses secured by the old
gentleman. The authorities were at
first inclined to treat the young men as
maniacs, but the carnes;tness, honesty
and candor of the lads pleaded for them 2
and they were allowed to try their 1
amateur detective hands on the violators I
of the liquor law. Elated over their ap
pointment, Waldo and Theodore re
turned home and began to lay in an out- I
it for their first crusade. In the light I
>f their knowledge of detective work, G
lerived almost wholly from books of the
ronatihmi Wild type, the lads believed
hey could only accomplish their pir- .0
)ose with the aid of disguises. From I
he relies of a Jong ago stranded dra- y
aatic company they procured wigs, a
aoustaches, )irates' beards, corsair d
hiirts and other suitable costmnes.
'acking up these with a map of the
tate and r copy of the prohibition law t,
ic boys started out on their expedition.
. pair of horse pistols completed their O
atfit. From the outset they met with 1.(
gnal success, obtaining sales at scores C
[ places and collecting evidence of the af
ost.incontrovertible elaracter. They w
)uld have obtained all they wanted by PO
wink of the eye, but the striplings tai
ere impressed with the idea that they fe(
ust be disguised and that their throats fiv
>uld be cut if their disguises should be Th
netrated. Thus, instead of walking an
and getting their drinks in a natural ga1
xy, they appeared as aged travelers, s

TO31311E CLUVERIUS.
Ian iHe Calmly Contemplates the Future and Loves
Flow ers.
(From the Richmond Dispatch.)
on Thomas J. Cluverius, who is confined
be in the city jail for having murdered his
ed cousin, Fannie Lillian Madison, is still
ut kept in solitary confinement in one of
a the upper rooms. His room is a small
a one and overlooks the lower portion of
x- the town in the direction of the Chesa
e- peake and Ohio depot. The furniture
ce consists of a single bed, a pine table,
;e with a bowl and pitcher, and a small
ir pine bench, upon which are several
t- potted plant--geraniums, etc. Cluverius
is said to be very fond of flowers, and
Lt whenever he writes to his aunt and.
r brother, with whom he corresponds
regularly, speaks of his flowers. Cluve
- rins enjoys good health; keeps in good. -
I spirits, and is polite and courteous to his
keepers, who speak in commendatory
t terms of him. His meals are furnished
i him twice a day from a restaurant.
, Cluverius wears a gray suit, and is
I neat and careful of his appearance. He
has his hair cut close, and shaves regu
larly twice a week. He reads much
the Bible and newspapers especially.
His aunt and brother, who live at Little
Plymouth, in King and Queen county,
have not been to see him for several
weeks. Occasionally visitors call upon
him, but are not admitted without his
consent. A reporter of the Dispatch
called at the prison a few days ago, and
Cluverius expressed his willingness to
see him, provided that nothing about
the visit was to be written. Th3 terms
being so unfavorable to the reportorial
business, they were declined with thanks.
At Staunton, September 10, or soon
thereafter, the Virginia Supreme Court
A ppeals will decide whether it will give
Cluverius a rehearing. If their decision
is adverse, as it now seems sure to be,
Judge Atkins, of the Hustings Court,
will appoint the day of execution.
A GHOST AT THE THROTTLE.
A Strange Apparition Seen in a Worcester
Workshop.
For some time queer stories have been
told of unusual proceedings at the Wor
cester Steel Works at night. Complaints
were made of assaults committed and of
the general conduct of the men *ho in
iisted on going in and out at will, until
it length, to check those alleged out

rell lighted by electricity. When he
assed the boiler house he saw a strange
ian standing inside with his hand on
ae throttle of an engine which had not

leason for a moment. Gleason spoke
> him jokingly and asked him if he was
:ing to start up. The stranger's coun -
nance did not change and his eyes
emed to jump from their sockets. The
an was unknown to Gleason, who had

erybody. Turning quickly Gleason

ach frightened. Large drops of per

ddenly he swooned away. Gleason

the striped jacket which he wore, but
one knew him. Finally some one
