\u25a0 LONDON; November 19.—A*a inspectionof the register of the Marylebontr Parishchurch to-day shows that/; the; reported

\u25a0marriage of the ;Duke :of Manchester andMiss Helene -Zimmerman,, of Cincinnati,is "true. The ceremony took' place lastWednesday; afternoon. The couple -arenow. in Ireland. / : . :

-.:

..When, the Dowager Duchess^ of Man-chester, was asked/by a .representative ofthe Associated Press," this morning; ifthe report of the marriage was "correct,she denied it absolutely, alleging thatthe announcement; was^^. made at the. de-sire of a certain .person /.who devoutlyhoped the marriage would occur.

--She

evinceJ extreme displeasure at the ideaof her son's^ marrying Miss. Zimmerman.Subsequently, .. the-. Dowager. ">Duchesswent to the church, inspected the recorfls,and found, to her-"grea.t surprise, that,

the marriage had / taken ;place. :

BRIDE A FINANCLVL PRIZE.Canon Barker, who officiated -at the

wedding, relates how. Mr. Lambert, oneof the Duke of Manchester's supporters,when notifying him of the Duke's desireto be married, described 'the prospectivebride as. "an American :heiress, / with$10,000 a year now /and unlimited pros-pects, as her father is one of the; richestmen in America."In reply to questions '..by.Canon Barker,

Mr. Lambert admitted "that' the lady'sparents were not aware of the intendedmarriage, but, as he produced a licenseissued by the. Archbishop of Canterbury;Canon Earlier- could not do otherwisethan marry "the couple.

HOW ITCAME ABOUT. .According to? the Dally Mail the mar-

riago was the of a long and ro-mantic attachment, .but .it:was. only lastJuly, to use the, words of the Duke 'him-;self, that they discovered they had beenin love with each other all the time.

"Then, the Duke," says the Daily Mail,/'seeing that many suitors were pressingtheir attentions upon Miss Zimmerman,claimed her for himself. The engage-ment was announced, but was denied bythe relatives. Not being in a position tomarry, they decided to await awhile. Afortnight ago Mr. Zimmerman was ex-pected to arrive in London, and they haddecided to see him and get his consent.He did not come, and, therefore, theyagreed to marry without delay. They willsail for New York next Saturday. , -

ALL FOR. LOVE.-"The Duke wishes it to be known, that

he married for love. He has not asked,and does not hope for, a dowry with thelady. The couple will.settle at Tandera-gee." . ' .. .

BEDFORD CITY, VA., November 19.-(Special:)—On last Saturday, Miss BetseyCreasy, who had passed the 107th anni-versary of her life journey,- died at thehome of Mr. Updike, in Bedford county.Her vitalityhad been so remarkable thatup to a few months ago, when she sus-tained a severe fall, she had been singu-larly active and full of energy. She couldwalk long distances, and took great de-lisht in attending to the poultry. With-out the aid of glasses she could read,write, and sew, threading with ease thefinest needles. Several years ago shewalked a distance of six miles, to andfrom a travelling photograph- establish-ment, and had her picture taken. The pic-ture represents a.tall, erect figure, with astrong, bright face, and clear, browneyes. The only unusual thing about theface . was a remarkable hirsute growthupon the chin, probably eight or teninches long. She was always cheery andbright, and very popular with the neigh-bors, who enjoyed her recitals of thiolden times— a century ago.

An old Bible contains the record of hergreat age, making her the oldest personwho has ever lived in Bedford county.

The:lAZeaLtii&p;

For the first time in twenty yearsFrank Burkman breathed the air of afree man yesterday. He has seen theblue sides and tho sunshine in all thatfifthof a century only through the barsof county jailand State" Penitentiary.In ISS2 Burkman was received at the

penitentiary from Essex county to servethirty-six years . for double manslaugh-ter. HTo was then a boy about 17 yearsof age. He had -spent two years of hislife in the jails of KingGeorge and Es-sex counties. His case has excited theattention and- the. -sympathy of manyprominent people of Virginia and Mary-land. The prison officials, knowing thefine record which the prisoner has madesince lie donned the garb of. a convict,have earnestly longed for the time whenhe could be set free.

READS LUCE A' NOVEL.Burkman's story is amost unusual one.

Itreads like a piece of sensational fiction.'He is a native of Baltimore. His father-died when he was C years of age. Hismother married again. The new fatherdid not make the boy's home life happy.When he was 10 years old Frank ranaway. He sought and obtained serviceon board an oyster pungy in Chesapeakebay. He had often dreamed of going to

1

sea, and it seemed that his new employ-ment opened to him the life for whichhe had longed.

It took but a few days for the boy to\u25a0learn that the life of a sailor was not\u25a0S D& li,kQ;that which had pic-

ef.'h lle had learned of the freedomof hie on the seas. He found ita slaverymore degrading than any African everknew. Captain Edwards, according toall the testimony, was a tyrant. But hewas white. The mate of the pungv wasa tyrant of.a worse type than the- cap-tain. And he, was a negro"

The boy's life seems to have been more

IMP? °k- ~iiBurkman m a thousand ways, which toa white man seem nothing short of liend-

THB CRIME.After being out for some time the

ed by tho white captain and the- negro"

white and black tyrant were deadlhe pungy was worked back to Balti-more Burkman gave himself up to the

S? tndt-U^ieS/;

/He broughtbo.ck to Iving George county for trialFour, possibly five, trials were given £mm the ICing George courts. Then achange of venue was obtained to theCounty Court of Essex.' The final tria^in the tribunal resulted in a sentenceof thirty-six years-eighteen years forthe killing of each man. it was twoyears from the time Burkman gave him-self up until;;he was put in stripes be-hind .the bars of tho Virginia Peniten-tiary, in ISS2.

There he has been ever since— a patientdocile, good-natured prisoner, obedient toevery regulation. His mother and hisbrother live in Baltimore. They havelonged for the release"; of Frank buttheir seemed no hope. Prison officialswho knew of the good character he hasborne since he entered the institutionhave been scarcely less desirous of see-ing him free.

HOW/A PARDON WAS GOTTEN.Burkman's brother is in business in

Baltimore. Associated with him is ayoung man from Richmond. Young Burk-man told the tragedy of his brother'slife to the Richmond man. The Rich-monder became deeply interested. Heknew of the conditional pardon law en-acted by the General Assembly two yearsago. He interested an influential gentle-man of this city in the case. The ap-plication for pardon was made. Amongthose who signed it was former Con-gressman Croxton, of Essex county, whoprosecuted the. casei against Burkman.Hon. Jack Mason, now Judge of the Cir-cuit Court of King George, and JudgeKeeling, who recently died in Norfolk,were also prosecutors at various trialsof Burkman's.

Governor Tyler examined the papersyesterday. 1

-He very soon reached the

conclusion that Burkman should be grant-ed a conditional pardon, and an orderfor his release was made out.

TOOK THE NEWS TO BURKMAN."At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon the

order reached the prison. The officialswere overjoyed. Burkman was quicklysummoned. He was told to prepared toleave the prison at once—that he wasfree. He did not show any great joyat/the news. Men who have spent twen-ty-years of a short life behind the, wallsof a prison are not sensitive. Besides,Burkman's health is gone forever. Dr.Carrington, the penitentiary surgeon, sayshe could

:Uve only a short' time if kept

in confinement.- He is a /physical wreck.Burkman spent last night in Richmond.

He Will go to Baltimore to-day, to /themother who has waited so many yearsfor his coming. .

Mr. 8..p. Johnson said the Johnsonat the corner or Ninth- and

Main stroet-s. had been compelled tochange the office hours because the street-oar facilities were not such as to allow-employees to go home and return in theirdinner-hour. Ho pleaded for botte-r facili-ties, through tho granting of the petition.Oi. the Traction Company: The limitationof transportation, he said, would surelyaffect tho city's census more largely thanever. Rapid transit, on the other" hand,would indubitably redound to the creditand property of the city. • "

IN WORKING PEOPLE'S INTEREST.Mr. 1., h. Jenkins said he employed 100or more hands, many of them ladies, and

he frequently heard complaints of badstreet-car facilities on Main street. Intheir interest he asked the committee toconsider the interests of working people.He siioke. he said, of his own vocation,and he asked that the Traction Companyshould be granted the privilege they ask-.ea.

\u25a0 Mr. M. R. Pace spoke as a laboring-man, and representative of organizedlabor. He spoke voluntarily, and as oneOi.. three appointees of the trades unions,asking that the petition of the TractionCompany should be favorably considered.Those who had to be at work early in themorning knew that the complaint'againstthe street-car facilities was only too trueMr. Pace criticised the circular sent outby the Richmond Passenger and PowerCompany as being dictated from a veryone-sided point of view. He then read theresolution adopted by the Central Tradesand Labor Council, inwhich the body, as-serting its entire independence of eitherroad, anvocates the additional street rail-way route.

Mr. j. m. Thompson, representing acommittee of Broad-street merchants, ap-peared on the same side of the question.Tho Broad-street merchants wanted quicktransportation, and a continuous ride oaBroad and Main streets without the te-dious waits. At this point a motion wasoefoated by a vote of G to 4, the intentionof which was not to hear from citizensunless they represented organizations orbodies of citizens.

Mr. A. O. Boschen appeared before thecommittee as the representative of ClayWard generally, and the ladies of Clay"tt-ard in particular. He spoke particular-ly of the poor facilities afforded by thepresent system.

The petition of tiie Richmond Passengerand Power Company, to electrify its owntrack on Broad street, was first "taken upand rejected by an unanimous vote.

COUNSEL DISCUSS THE MATTER. -!The petition of the Traction Company:for the right to run over the Main-streetlines of the Richmond Passenger and

Power Company was next taken upThe committee decided to give counselon. either side unlimited time to discusthe question and to give the counsel forthe Traction Company the opening andclosing argument. \Mr. C. V. Meredith appeared for theTraction Company. He opened with an l

allusion to the scenes enacted in the ichamber and to the great manifestationof public interest. The action of thesub-committee, the ruthless brushingaside of the petition signed by over~ 7,000citizens, wore alluded to. The positionwas changed, he said,: and those whovoted against .the petition or the-'Frac-tion Company would ignore the plainwishes of their constituents. The citi-zens who had appeared before the com-mittee had been actuated by high pur-poses. Some had been asked to comeand speak before the committee, butmany had not been asked."Iam asking that you fulfil a moralobligation," said Mr. Meredith, "and ifwe are able to make out a case that is

fair and honorable, as well as to thepublic interest, you willvote for our peti-tion.". ,

i

Sketching the position of the TractionCompany, he referred to the. ordinancewhich included a provision that any com-pany might use the. Traction Company'stracks, if the same rights were concededby the Traction Company on the tracksof the other company. He read the sec-tion of the ordinance, and asked if anylanguage could be clearer. The city ob-ligated herself, she placed her honorupon it, and the committee representedthe honor of thousands.In ISSS, said Mr. Meredith, the Rich-mond City railway was given the right to

electrify Broad street, but wouldn't doit. The wishes of the city were ignored;the chance was ignored. "The samecompany is here to-day asking you tobreak an obligation. They have dis-graced us, mortified us, and outraged xisin every. way they could, and now. theyare asking that the city's honor shall beoutraged." Six months afterwards, thecity of Richmond tendered the RichmondRailway and Electric Company the privi-lege of thirty years on Main and Broadstreets, if Broad street was electrified;providing that the exclusive right torun on Broad street was not asked. Atthe request of Mr. Allen Mr. Meredith,read the provision of this ordinance. Thecompany turned the city down, he con-tinued, ignored her petition, and gavethe same disreputable service, and nowthey come claiming they are entitled tothe consideration of the old company.

THROTTLED ANOTHER LINE."In 1593 the Richmond and Manches-

ter railway was built," said Mr. Mere-dith. "It could get no farther thanBroad street. It couldn't get transfers.By refusing to electrify. Broad street andparalleling the Manchester line, it throt-tled the new enterprise and bought theManchester company at its own price,causing it to lose $100,0& X

"The company continued to ignore .yourrights year after year,until 1595, when itsaw danger in the petition of the ConduitCompany, and what the city had askedfor in two petitions they came and askedfor

—the right to electrify Broad street.

When you suffered they ifnored you;when they were in.danger they cringed."

The development of the Traction Com-pany, and the evidence that that enter-prise was capable of fufillingits., obliga-tions to build a road on Broad street wasnext touched upon, and "the upshot ofthat famous fight before the Council of

:ISS.r> was graphically described.| It was honorable treatment to the citi-zens of Richmond that the interchange oftracks was provided for in the franchisesthat was granted.

-.THE CITY'S MORAL OBLIGATION."Irespectfully differ with the City At-

torney," said Mr. Meredith, in allusion'to the legal status, of the c^iy under thatoidir.ance, and he added that he wa.s surethat that official would not deny vi"moral obligation. The .question turnedover to/':the committee- by the City At-torney was whether the city would liveup to this obligation. The position of. theRichmond Passenger and • Power Com-pany was. to ask the committee not togrant the right, while they still concededthe right.. They simply asked ihij eom-mitteemen to "do the "dirty thing.".

In lSVt'.-said Mr..Meredith, another.com-pany came, '.along..' and called /-itself theRichmond Passenger and: Power' Com-pany. When it- served its purpose i*--vvrsthe old (onipnny or the/new -.•ompanyj inturn. The organization had a facile way

Kentucky Institution Closes— Hissinj?ZUan Exposed by JealouK Woman.

(New York Press.) :. CINCINNATI, November IS.—The Ger-man National Bank, of Newport, Ky. isin the hands of a United States bank-ex-aminer, .and ;Frank /M. Brown, the in-dividual bookkeeper and assistant cashier,

"

is missing, short in his accounts at least?201,CC0.

"Up to last ..midnight the officials anddirectors of the bank declared that theinstitution v.-as in good condition, and asa result of the exposure to-day the cityis almost in a panic. Angrry "depositorshave been searching- for tn'e bank officialsand directors all day, many ofthem armed. All of the' bank men arewealthy and prominent. Itis feared thatserious trouble and possibly violence will\u25a0result to-morrow when the depositors andbank officials meet.

Notwithstanding the 'denials that thebank was in trouble, it is known thatBrown was exposed to his superiors sev-eral days ago by a jealous woman.

*

AX OLD EMPLOYEE.Brown had been with the bank eigh-

teen years, was one/ of the most trustedmen ever connected with the institution,and itis said by the experts that his pec-ulations extend back. as- far as ten years.The capital stock of the bank is only$100,000. Brown's shortage, however, isdouble that amount and more than thereserve and all the assets, including theirreal estate., While Alvord got away with 5700.000 inNew York, he did itin a large bank, butBrown did not have so much to work on,and seems to have gone the full limit,fora small bank in a city of less than 30,030inhabitants. The First National Bank ofNewport was wrecked two years ago hi-lts cashier, Youtsey, and now, with theGerman National closed, Newport has-only one bank left.

'

For two weeks there have been" rumorsthat Brown was short in his accounts,and. a few depositors withdrew their ac-counts.

>. ',-..'' COVERED. HIS THEFTS.. \u25a0 Three weeks ago the bank examinersmade a good statement for the bank, andthe officers and directors allayed suspi-cion by referring to the report of.this ex-amination and to their last statement, inwhich all of Brown's defalcations werecovered up by him. On last WednesdayBrown left Newport, and it was an-nounced that he had gone on a huntingvacation- He did buy a ticket for Odin,111., but it.is learned now that he.did notgo there, and itis generally believed, thathe is out of this country, with plenty ofmoney in his possession.

Brown was suspended on.last Tuesdaypending an investigation, and the expertshave been at work all the last week,while the -officers and directors have beenmaking '

announcements that everythingwas all right. " * * . \u25a0

;Brown is a widower,with one son, 10years old, who lives with Brown's father,Paris C. Brown, former Mayor of New-port, and one of the leading.business-menof Cincinnati. .:.--

WOMAN IN THE CASE. -.Last summer Brown visited Yellowstone

Park, and: a woman that lived in Cincin-nati wanted to accompany him, but hewould- not take her. When she ascer-tained later '

that another : woman was.with Brown on his western trip, theCincinnati woman gave information tothe bank officials that, brought about acrisis. The only :farewell. -letter thatBrown is \u25a0". known ~to have left .was tothis woman. In--this-letter he. admitsthat he had about all iuat he couldget, and that the* time had come to sayfarewell. •\u25a0'•'• .-..'.-.-.' ': '- .•:\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0':,Brown, it is, said., was a great :poker
