This week the neighborhood was startled by hearing of the proposed wedding of the duko and the da ugh ter of Henry Wolfe. The license was procured, the .minister was in the house, the wedding dinne was spread, and all was ready, " when the young woman's uncle arrived and proceeded to stop the ceremony. lie disclosed numerous fa-cits which openJ ed the father's eyes to his daughter'a danger. After a coundl was held, it was decided to telegraph to Bristol Oonn., where the duke said his uncle .lived, for reference.. To this the duke objected, and Wolfe made a scene. After the news had heen circulated a mob soon formed and started for. Wolfe's iresidenoe ,w!iitih the inten'fcionj of lynching the imposter. . On their arrival they were" met at the door by tfi yo.ung womau,," who pleaded In such a pitiful manner for .fire duke that it was decided to let him remain over night. At night ithe house was barricaded and each door and wih- -dow guarded by a man belli nd a gun, Later he was .escorted to the train.
