Lower Brule, Indian Agency, in
South Dakota, had a sensation the
other day. Tommy Tompkins, an
Indian, had wooed and won Miss
Mary Crazy Bull, a dusky maiden.
They were to be married and the
feast was prepared, when lo! Frank
Foot, a gay young buck put in an
appearance, whispered into the ear
of Miss Mary and persuaded her to
foot or rather fly with him, which
she proceeded at once to do, and a
Squire made them one, while Tom
my continued one without the assis

that a fellow is not right sure of a
girl till he's got her.
A Massachusetts man had an ab

FORCED TO WED.
A Sensational Affair at Fernandina, Fla.
The Lady in the Case a Former Resi
dent of "Wilmington.
A telegram in the Savannah News of
Friday last gives the -following account
of a sensational affair in Fernandina,
Florida. The lady mentioned Mrs.
Thorpe and -her father, Col. Brink,
have many friends in Wilmirigton, but
so far as could be learned yesterday
none of them could give any further in
formation in regard to the matter. A
gentleman who is well acquainted with
Col. Brink's family, says Mrs. Thorpe,
passed through Wilmington on an
Atlantic Coast Line train bound North
last Thursday night.
The following is the account as pub
lished in the News:
Fernandina, Fla., April 24. In
this city, at the residence of the groom,
yesterday morning, Mrs. Thorpe, daugh
ter of Col. E. R. Brink, formerly of
Wilmington, N. C, was married to
George R. Hubby, a member of the
City Council and agent for the Mallory
steamship line.
Mrs. Thorpe says that during a ride
yesterday morning with Mr. Hubby, he
drew a pistol and threatened fo shoot
her if she did not at once consent to be
married to him, and after obliging her
to consent, he said he would shoot her
at the altar if she made any resistance
or refused to go on with the ceremony.
He then drove to his residence on
Seventh street, and sent for Rev. Mr.
Cross to come and unite them. Mr.
Cross went as requested, and was met
by Mr. Hubby, who handed him a
license in due form, which Mr. Cross
examined, and finding correct, he pro
ceeded with the ceremony.
During this time Mrs. Thorpe sat on a
lounge with her head resting on her
hand and apparently in deep meditation,
but she stood up at the request of Mr.
Cross and made the response of the
Episcopal ceremony without any sign of
disturbance till after the ring was to be
placed on her finger, when she fainted.
Mr. Hubby placed his arm around her,
and adjusting the ring, laid her on the
lounge, and then told Mr. Cross that the
marriage was against the wishes of her
parents, Col. and Mrs. E. R. Brink. Soon
after the ceremony Mr. Hubby went over
to the Egmont Hotel and informed Mr.
and Mrs. Brink of the affair.
Later in the day, while Mr. Hubby was
away, Mrs. Thorpe succeeded in getting
from the house and reaching the rooms
of her parents, when she informed them
of the means taken to induce her to mar
ry Mr. Hubby. She was then seized
with mental and physical prostration,
necessitating medical attention to be
given her. Last night an application
was made to County Judge Schuyler
for a peace warrant against Mr. Hubby,
but nothing further has been done in
the matter up to to-night. Mrs. Thorpe
remains with her parents at the Egmont
hotel, and Mr. Hubby makes no public
explanation of the matter.
The whole affair is very singular, in
as much as the parties had been much
together and public opinion was that af
fairs would terminate in a much more
satisfactory manner. Mrs. Thorpe came
here to reside with her parents several
years ago, in her early widowhood, and
her frendliness with Mr. Hubby has
been through being much in his society
by a residence at the same hotel dur
ing that time. Col. Brink, her father,
is confined to his room as the result of
an accidental fall. He was formerly
postmaster of Wilmington, N. C, and
lately secretary and treasurer of the
Creosote, Lumber and Construction
Company of this city, but he resigned
the position several weeks ago.
IN THE LOUISIANA SWAMP.
A Wilmington Darkey's Experience in
the Mississippi Lowlands.
The following is a copy of a letter
from a colored man of this city who
went off with a party of exodusters a lew
months ago:
Epps' Store, La., April 13, 1890.
Mrs. Lizzie Lamb Dear Wife: I am
in good health and trust you are the
same. I wish to tell you the truth about
the people who came out here from
Wilmington. Myseii, rannie narns,
Mary Eliza Newkirk, Sarah McNeil,
Frank Johnson and wife. are all livine in
hearing of each other and can visit at
night. But we are living in low swamp
In nrl and the whole olace is covered with
water, which makes it very hard to walk
at night at best, ine water is up so
hich until we have to pass from planta
tion to plantation in wagons.
, T , Ti t 3 '
We are on Mr. jonn r. rucnarusou a
farm, and from what we can learn it is
the last place in Louisiana. And you
tell the people not to listen to wnai umi
squash-headed Rideout says in respect
to our people coming out here to farm on
Mr. John P. Richardson's plantation.
It is true in many places they pay more
for lahor on farms down here than the
people in North Carolina, but they
charge so much more lor groceries anu
rlnthino-out here, until it is much bet
ter in North Carolina. I do not wish
to see any of our people come out here.
Ine wages ueing paia are at lonuwa .
Wrmen 50 rents tier dav or &10 per
month; men, 75 cents per day or $15 per
month. But in each case they have to
nav their hoard out of what is paid to
them. Therefore, considering what we
have to pay for groceries, you may be
able to tell the balance.
I am, as ever, your affectionate hus
band, . Renard Lamb.

WILMINGTON LIBRARY ASSOCIATION
The Improvements Made Recently What
it Needs
Those persons who have not lately
visited the Library Association rooms
in the Masonic Building on Market
Street should do so to see the great pro
gress that has been made during the
past few months. The lilbrary room
now much resembles the rooms of larger
libraries of other large cities of the
United States. Five new book cases
'divide up the outer portions of the
rooms into alcoves, each of which is de
voted to some particular class of litera
ture. The older bookcases have had
their shelving arranged and so spaced as
to allow all books of the same author or
topic to be placed together irrespective
of the size or height of the book. All
the books have been examined and class
ed, and arranged according to their au
thor or subject. A card catalogue
is in process of construction;
this form of catalogue being one
in which each "book is represented by
one or more cards, the cards being ar
ranged in alphabetical order and placed
on edge in shallow drawers where they
can be handled by the public. In one
set of drawers the cards are arranged
according to the authors of the books;
in another according to ' the subject
treated of in the book; in a third, ac
cording to the title of the book. This
arrangement has been found the simplest
and most useful to the public, and is
moreover elastic enough to suit both
small and large libraries as well as
libraries that are rapidly growing. The
drawers for these cards are arranged in
a neat but handsome case which of itself
is an ornament to the library.
The magazine and other periodicals
of the library form one of its most at
tractive features, and are so numerous
that the last numbers cover ninety
square feet of tables. Over twenty-five
contain matter like puzzles, rebuses,
charades, music, chess, checkers, &c,
connected with in-door amusements;
over ten are full of cartoons and humor
ous articles or illustrations; over a dozen
are full of fine artistic illustrations; an
other dozen treat of the comforts and
decoration of homes; some fifteen show
up the latest styles and fashions of
ladies' dress; eight are especially
suited to the young
dozen treat of science
chanics; another -dozen
and general progress; ten
people; a
and me
of politics
of military
of general
and naval matters; a dozen
news, and over two dozen of general
literature. Nothing has been left un
done to make this library an honor to
Wilmington and the equal in quality of
any library in the United States. Ad
vertisements, elsewhere in our columns,
invite the public to visit the rooms and
:e what is being done. What the li
brary needs most at present is more
subscribers. The rates of subscription
are ao low as to be within the reach of
everybody. A little help from every
body will make the present library a
permanent thing and something for
Wilmington to be proud of.
REV. SAM JONES.
A Wilmingtonian's Impressions of the Ke-
vivalist and his Work in Charlotte.
Editor Star: As the public seem al
ways interested in the noted Evangelist
Rev. S. P. Jones, familiarly known as
"Sam Jones," perhaps a few impressions
made on a Wilmingtonian may interest
your readers.
First the Tabernacle. It is about 100
by 200 feet; will seat 5,000 an d 6,000 can
be accommodated. It is lighted by gas
and electricity, and instead of
a floor the ground is covered with
cotton seed, making it noiseless.
A raised platform is erected on the east
side for the use of- the choir, which
numbers two hundred, and the speaker's
desk, which is immediately in front of
the choir, The music is fine; one piano
and two organs are used, and the sing
ing is led by Prof. E. O. Excell, who
was manager of the State Sunday School
work of Illinois, until engaged by Mr.
Jones. He is a good leader, and the
book used is a collection compiled by
him; many of the pieces being his own
compositions.
Mr. Jones has, in all the descriptions
I have ever seen of him, been styled a
tall, wiry man. To me he seems rather
undersize, slight build, but not at all
wiry. His hair and mustache are very
black and his eyes very keen and pierc
ing. His style of delivery is con
versational and easy, and his peculiar
manner of putting things has - made his
name famous. To quote his own words
"his way of saying things is the only
thing he has a patent right on."
; He is original, and the sermons play
on the emotions. His unique style at
tracts, and he preaches a plain gospel in
a plain way. He says "if I do not stick
to grammar, it is because I. want to get
on a level with the crowd. I throw my
fodder on the ground, and anything
from a giraffe to a goat can reach it."
: I think many people who have never
heard him, but who have read extracts
from his sermons, are prejudiced
against him because the points he
wishes to illustrate are not given.
I had thought of drawing a compari
son between him and Mr. Pearson, but
it is impossible; they are too different in
every way. He has stirred up every
town he has ever visited; it remains to
be seen what he will accomplish in Char
lotte. i It has pleased the Lord, "by the fool
ishness of preaching" to save the world,
and Mr. Jones seems a ready instrument
in His hands. I trust His name may be
honored in this city as elsewhere where
he has labored.
