Arthur IL Osborne, the young New York broker, who says he wat wedded to Mans Ma lone j', at Mamoroneck two yeam ago, does not profess that they ever lived together. ) "Indeed, I have only Osborne's word for it that Miss Maloney ever married him at all," says W. J.' Fanning, the Muloneys' attorney; "for when he called on me to tell me of it, he had no mar riage certificate with him, From what I know of 'Helen I think she considered her marriage to Osborne if there was oneas a mere lark," ' ft the young woman figured in' two legal marriages, however, it is conceded that the situation may.be serious, es pecially for Clarkson, if it is true, as reported, that he was so. doubtful of his. ground as to have consulted an at torney concerning the validity of the weddjng of which Obome tells. 'Lawyer Bonin, of Montreal, who says he arranged for the marriage there, was reticent at first, but became communi cative, Montreal dispatches say, when told the couple are In England. f The names of Clarkson and Maloney being little known in Montreal, it was easy,, ne says, to arrange totn tor tne marriage and for the young pcople'e passage from Quebec to Liverpool on the steanubip Empress of Britain. "The bride informed me," he is quot ed as saying in conclusion, "that it was possible stories would be circulated of a previous secret marriage and dissolution of the bond, in which Arthur Osborne would perhaps figure. She authorized me to deny them. 'I have never been man-led, and Sam is my choice,1 she said."

The in jured men, hia companions in travel, are William Henierick, hit in the leg near the knee, and Fred Mason, shot through the calf of the leg. All are laboring men recently employed on hardship. "At VaUes on our way north we re ceived instructions to call at Nelson's lagoon and render what assistance we could. We arrived there September 10 and anchored about four miles off shore. Captain Murchison Of the John Currier came aboard. His vessel had broken up money, the dead man, having on his person besides a gold watch and $25 in money, a bank book showing savings deposits aggregating $700 in a Mm neapolis bank. The wounds of Mason and Hemerick are not serious. The three men were in Ashland yes terdayi and started southward from here on foot. Just before reaching Steinman a freight train overtook tnem, and see ing a boxcar loaded with ties with the doors open, they decided to take the opportunity to ride and climbed aboard. Just as the train was pulling out of Steinman three desperate-looking yoking fellows climbed into the car, lighted a candle and ordered the; occupants to throw up their hands, one of them hold ing a revolver to the breast of Hemerick Fink, who waa behind Hemeriek, reach ed for the highwayman's gun and a fight ensued, when the man with the ; gun called to his pals to' shoot.

The freight was winter supplies for those far northern points, and it was imperative that we get it through. We offered to take the stranded men on to Nome, but Captain Murchison preferred to wait where he was fop a chance steamer going in the direction of Dutch Harbor. He told us he had three weeks' provisions, and gave us the impression that he was in no distress Shelter had been prepared at the cannery for the men, and there was not suggestion of their being in any actual privation, "After lying off kelsons lagoon four hours, Captain Murichson went ashore and we proceeded on our way. "While at Kewaik we received in structions to call at Nome for R. Duns muir, the owner of the Currier, which we did as we came back.
