Baltimore Special: George Williams,a leading millionaire lawyer and exprcsidont of the Mary land senate, is defendant in an extraordinary legal proceeding, commenccd hore to-day. The plaintiff is liis son, ErnanltH. Williams, a young socioty man. At the death of John 8, Gittiugs, plaintiff fell heir to #:HiO,000. He had, as charged, disipated habits, and otherwise in curred parental displeasure ly engaging him self to marry a young ladv Haiti to bo beneath the Williams circle sociallv.

Upon returning he married the girl, since winch time fathor and son have not spoken, though frequently passing each other on tho streets. Williams alleges that his son's dissipated courso prompted him to have tlie transfer made. Able counsel is employed on both sidos, and the court disclosures promise to prove of a highly sensational nature. Maerty's Chrsat Objection. Waaliington Spoci&l: Congressman Finerty is determined to place tho houso on record on tho Irish question, and he will probably have a chance to do it when the question of accepting the steamer Altert, which tho British govern ment has tendered for the Grecly relief expedi tion, come* up. The only question that can come before the house is whether congress shall return a vote of thanks, and thisTinerty is de termined to prevent He takes the position that the acceptance of the vessel is an lnenlt to the Irish-American citizens of .the oountry, and every congressman who expressed his approval Will find himsolf opposed by the Irish-American vote. The representatives from Irish districts are already b^inning to feci a little nervous aboutlt, and will probably vote with Finerty. A Wisconsin Wadding Sosne.

OrdwayMottoboBeappotnted. It is very generally conceded that Gov. Ordway of Dakota will not bo re appointed on the expiration of his term, the latter part of May. Mr. Ordwav does not seem to be pressing his case very vigorously, and it i» said that the president has intimated that his mind has already been made up to appoint tome one else. Ho informed the com mittee, consisting of Judges Edmnuds nnd Moody and one or two other Dako ta gentlemen, who waited on him last Saturday with a protest against Ord way'H reappointment, that ho has inrule Hp his mind what he intended to do,and ly his manner they interpreted this remark to mean that Dakota was to be relieved of OrdVi-ay's administration. Tlie suooessor-shm is now a matter of comment among Dak ota people here. Among tho stories circulated are that Pat Donan of Fargo is one of the candidates. It is said that if he could produce sufficient strength in Dakota to justify it, he would receive the support of at least one state delega tion". Mr. Donan's candidacy, there fore, will depend upon tlie amount of strength lie can develop in the territory. The anti-Ordway people are trying to boom J. H'. Teller, the brother of the Secretary of the interior, and the pres ent secretary of the territory, but his candidacv will present sncli complica tions and embarrassments that it is veiy likely that it will not lie pressed. Other candidates will bo developed as the time for the change approaches. Tlie bill introduced in tlie senate by Mr. Harrison of Dakota as a state pro vides for the separation of tlie present territory nnd the erection of the north ern part into a separate territory, to be known as tho territory of North Dakota, with the capital at tlie city of Bismarck. It recites tho action of the people of the Bouthern part of the present territory in forming a constitution nnd state gov-' eminent, nnd declares that portion of the territory is sufficient in population, area, and resources to assure a perma nent nnd stable state government. It provides that this constitution l»o submitted to a vote of the persons qualified as voters under its provisions at a general election, and that upon proof submitted to the president of the United States that a majority of all tho votes cast at such election have been cast for the said constitution he shull announce the same by proclama tion, and that thereupon, and without further proceedings by congress, tlie ad mission of the state into the Union shall bo complete, and tlie senators snd rep resentatives from that state shall lie en titled to take their seats without furth er delay. The state so admitted of all the indebtedness of the present Terri tory of Dakota, incurred for public buildings which aro built or provided by law to bo built within the limits of said proposed state, and for the assumption by tho Territory of North Dakota, when so organized, of all the indebtedness in curred for Mich public buildings located or to boJooated within the limits of said iroposed territory. It also provides or tho setting npart of lands for agri cultural college, common school nnd iiublio building purposes in the proposed itate fo the continuation of tho present laws of tho territory in the Territory of North Dakota, and the continuation in office in that territory of the governor, secretary, chief and associate justices, United States marshals and the district attorney of tho present territory. Th« Worat Blinurd. A despatch from La Moure,Dak.,of the 19th says: One of the worst blizzards ev er known burst upon Dakota yesterday afternoon lasting throughout the night. Four stages were due here at & o'clock, but only one arrived. As the weather was fine up to the middle of the after noon, citizens became alarmed for the safety of the passengers and drivers who were caught out in the sudden storm. It was impossible to do anything for re lief last night, but this morning several search parties were organized. The El lendale stage was found turned bottom upward in a snow drift, half way be tween here nnd Yorktown, this 'after noon. Mail bags and buffalo rolies were lying near by. The searchers then went to a settler's residence, about two miles west, and found A. W. Sutley.the driver, who was suffering frcsn frozen face and hands. He related that the stJirm came on so fiercely when he was five miles from La Moure that he could got drive his horses in any direction. He was alone, and concluded his only way to save liis life was to dig into a snow drift and remain all night. He unhitched, and started the horses away, and they have not been seen since. The plucky fellow then made a bed with the sleigh and robes, and remained there until daylight, sleeping part of the time. His suffering was intense, despite his wrapping, but he will prob ably fully recover. He was brought to the' hotel here this cvoning. M. J. Sanderson, a livery man of this town, started for Ellendale about the same time as the stage, and had a lady passenger. When the storm came np Sutley could see them two miles behind him. Since then there is no trace of the pair, although men are scouring the country in all directions. Reports from all parts of the territory show that Monday's blizzard was the work of the'whole winter, but tho cas ualties thus far reported, are very light. Plans have been made for a city bnilding at Grafton, Walsh countv, to cost *10,000. At Valley City, Dak., ex-slugger James Allen was jailed on charge of body smttching.

J. Valentine of Valley Springs was lodged in the county jail on the lHth inst., under $1,000 bonds, for the shooting with the intent to kill Henry Harvey of that place. "Doc"' McCnmber, who was in Wah peton some months ago, has been arres ted and returned to that city, charged with bigamy, it being claimed that he has three wives iu that vicinity.

The hot glara of the afternoon sun streamed into the ding^, crowded wait ing-room, and seemed to qpneentrate all its rays on the tiny enclosure in the corner which served for the telegraph office. It was hot,.dusty, and uncomfortable, and the spirita of the little operator! were at the lowest ebb. She was so tired of it all, tired of the noise and con fusion, and the staring, unmannerly crowd tired even of the ceaseless clat ter of the instruments that she had once thought so musical. "Where are your blanks?" Said a cheery, manly voice at the little receiv ing window. "Oh, I beg pardon, here they are!" And then a moment later "What beastly pens you telegraph peo ple always have! Do yon bny all the defunct pens of the public schools for the use of yonr patrons?" She rained her head impatiently, and encountered a pair of mischievous brown eyes, that were regarding her with rather a perplexed look. As he met her eyes, he reddened a little, and said: "Can you send this message through for me at once'-" "Yes, sir. Tliank you!" "A very warm day. Good afternoon!" The straw hat was lifted from his brown curls for a moment and then after another prolonged stare he was gone. Laura Arnold looked after him with a tnmult of pain in her heart. And it was thus they met after fivo years of separation—they who had been such friends in the old days. How silly she had been to think of him, nnd cherish his fond, foolish, parting words, all these years I And now, when at last they met, he had no word of greeting for her, only the careless conrtsey of a stranger. She knew he had licen successful, and was eminent in his profession. Perhaps he did not care to recognize his old playfellow, for life had not gone smooth ly with her since they parted and sho told herself proudly that she was glad ho had made no sign. "I beg your pardon," said a voice at her elbow and she turned qnickly to see him back again. "Surely I cannot be mistaken. It is Laura Arnold!" '•Yes, it is Laura Arnold," she snid, as she put lier hand in his. "I am veiy glad to see you, Dr. Varney." "It was 'Laura' and 'Frank' between us two, once upon a time," he said, holding the slim white hand closely in his. "Are you going to put me at arm's-length because I did not at once recognize my little gipsy iu the very proper, not to say stately, young lady who looked ready to snub mo at the slightest provocation?" "Laura and Frank let it be, then," she said brightly. "Bnt what lias brought vou from'home this hot weath er?" "The medical convention and—other business but please may I come inside, und talk to yon comfortably?" "If you will make yourself as compact as possible. This office was not intend ed for the accomodation of people who linve six feet of perpendicularity to dis pose of," He came in nnd sat down opposite her, watching her while she worked, and making gay comments on the people as they passed. What a handsome, goodly face it was, and hbw pleasaflt to have him there, chatting of the old home und friends, until she seemed to smell the mignonette in the old garden, and hear the babble of the little stream in the meadow, where they two had speut so many liappv hours!" 'Do you know, "he said, as he watched her pen glide swiftly over the paper, "the telegraph has always been the mystery of mysteries to me? I have not. a much lietter idea ol' it now than 1 had when we pounded tlie poles, oirour way home from school, to hear what was go ing on over the wires." "It is not hard to understand," she said, laughingly. "What were you do ing when you should liavo been' study ing your philosophy and familiar sci ence? Yon were always an idle boy." "I will be good, now I have found my little mentor again," he said, leaning forward, witli a dangerous fascination in the brown eyes. "I wonder how I have managed to rub along all these years without you." "I think you have borne uj» wonder fully. You don't- scent to have peaked and.pined." "Well, no—that is not in my lino. Bnt that'is more than I can say for you, Laura. Suppose we make a bargain? We will exchange trade secrets. You shall explain this mystery of the tele graph, of which yon arc the high priest ess, and I will tell you how to get back some of the old-time roses iu those pale cheeks of yours." •'Agreed!" said Laura merrily. "When shall we commence?" "At once My first prescription is that you shall go out with me for a drive to-morrow morning." "That would bo very pleasant but I am afraid it is not possible. I must be here at eight o'clock." "Certainly uud I will be at vonr boarding-house at six. We will have two hours in the pleasantest part of tho day, and I will set yon down here at eight o'clock." "It would be very nice," said Laura wistfully. "Of course it would," he said, rising to go, and holding her hand fast "you will come, Laura, for the sake of Auld Lang Syne?" "Fo( the sake of Auld Long Syne, then," she said, rising a blushing dim-, pled face and shining eyes to liim, very different from the woe-begone counte nance that had greeted him when he come. Dr. Varney Vhandsome thoroughbreds were at the door of the shabby little cottage where Laura boarded punctual ly at six the following moniing, and she was waiting for liim. The prescription seemed to lie work ing wonders already, for certainly there was no lack of roses in her lirigl'it face that morning. What a pleasant drive it was, out of the smoke and dust of the noisy town, into the cool sweetness of the country, where the apple-trees were scattering their perfumed blossoms in snowy showers at every braath of wind, anil the birds were singing a joyful greeting to the new-born day! To Laura it was like going,, back to the brightest days of her life^ oh^r with an added sweetness that- even those had not possessed. Tney were driving slowly back, and Laura was trying to conquer a rebel lions distaste for the dull little .office, when, as they passed a large mansion on the outskirts of the town, Dr, Varney said abruptly: ''Do youknow Kate Howard, Laura?" "I know who she is. A cat may look at the queen, you know, Her father owns the iron mills, and they live in the beautiful house we just passed." "What do you think of her ',1 think she is one the most beauti ful ladies I have ever seen, and I im agine, ojie of tlt^proudest. Why do you ask? Yah seem to be interested her." "l am. Thetrnthis," he said, look- tost'k^tLe medical oonv«ntion^te n(S Um) only business. that bmight |ne to 1 m* .p -y 1-tr-: I met lier last summer s£ and again in the winter, think she'will say no. Thero was a moment's sOenir the girl struggled with the feeling of pain and deaolatfo thatcsme over her, and strove to the kindly commonplace words' were expected of her. And then he went on: "It may seem odd thai IMd yon this, Laura, even before I have Bpoken to her, bnt we have been almost: mother and sister, and 1 would like to have God-speed fromyou-before I make the plunge." "You have it, Frank." she said brave ly. "May you win the woman yon lota and every good gift that life can giver But the delicate beautiful face was very, -white, when he lifted her downikt the door of the station, and her eyes did not meet his when' she bade hilt good-bye. And in Dr. Varney's heart, as he drove away, there was a enrious dissatisfied feeling that he could neither analyze nor account for. 5 It was not qnite dissipated when lie And then he strolled down to the sta tion, and over to Laura's little den. She was busy, and did hot look nj for a moment, and he had time to hob how white she was, and there were darl circles under the pretty blue eyes, tha' told'of a sleepless night. 1% sat that evening on the pleasant piazM£§i of Mr. Howard's honse, witfc the scent ed breath of acacia and rose coming: up from the gardcu, and Kate, lookingy^y beautiful in lier cool white mnsUaby his side. And his thoughts would wan der to a little figure in a simplo ginghoita dress, and a delicate pale face net ins frame of soft brown hair. "Kate," he said at length "have yi ever noticed tlitf little girl in the tele graph office down at the station?" "Wlint a question!" said Miss How ard, arching her brows in some sur prise. "Of course I know thero ia a young person employed there in thai capacity, equally of course, that is all I know about her." But Dr. Varney, honest fellow, never Jp knew when he was snubbed, and blun dered on: "I discovered in her yesterday the oldest friend I have. They lived close to us until a few years ago, aud Laura and I were almost brother and' sister, -y] I had qnite lost sight of her until I me! her yesterday. "That is very nico, bnt I don't ses how it concerns me," said Miss Howard coldly. "She is qnite alone in the world. Kate, iuid I thought if you wOuld call upon her and bo l'riendly with her' it would make lier life so much more pleasant." "I call upon that girl? Youmust be dreaming, doctor?" "Why not? She is a true lady, and it would be an act of charity, Kate." "Perhaps your stitutes a lady differ," ugT'Haughty response. "At all events I have no de sire .to add. to tho list of my acquain-wr „-^\i tances at present, and so must declini the honor you propose to do me?" After, a cold good-night Dr. Varnej took his leave, feeling hurt and angry, and resolved that he would take mor time to consider it liefore he sioke th« words he had come to Kingston express ly to speak. Nor did the note he received front Miss Howard the following morning half playfully, half apologetic—alterh'it decision. He woidd go home and thinl it out among his patients. It was not I question to be decided lightly. She looked up with a.si»iit come, but did lmt inyite^umiin. He waited for no invitation, hojr,v^^i1' ever, but went inside the rhiling, im« 4& with the light of anew resolution oi his face, bent over her, "What have you been doing to your self, little girl?" he said very tenderly "I am afraid my prescription was not-i good one. Shall give yonanew one or have you lost faith in mv treatment?' "You had better get Miss Howard1) consent to your plan of treatment* is us os to replied Laura, with a forced laugh. "Miss Howard has nothing to do witt it, Laura. Shall I tell you what th new prescription is? It is to go bacl to the old home with 'me—to the deal old mother who always loved you, and will give you a gladder welcome thai she could give to any one else—to go ai my wife. Will you come, dear?" She looked up with a startled ex pression, which changed-to one ai haughty as Miss Howard's'own. "Kate Howard has rejected-you, and you, come to me in pique'" she saic with a choke in her voice. "Laura, have I ever given you caust to think so badly of me? Miss Howard did not reject me for she lias' not had the opportunity. I never feallj cared for anyone but yon, tliOngli yot may find it hard to believe after my fol ly j'esterday. I was attracted by Kat Howard's beauty, bnt I never loved her aud finding you here, has saved' m« from a great mistake." He would have, said more, but hei "call" was sounding on the instrument aud a customer was pouuding fwmticallj to attract her attention. '"i' "You shall take one day to thinl about it, and I will be: waiting for mj answer when you close the oij$be. tliu evening," he said at parting. But the glance from the lohg-lasliec eyes, as she bade him go, was all tlw answer he needed. And now they are married and happj with children around them. And sggne times Frank meets Miss Howard, iknc the hard scornful lines he reads in hei countenance convince liim that he uh( wisely in his choice.
