Sheerin, who is visiting her father, Mr. Daniel E. Doherty, of East Broadway. He left a little past noon for New York. He had run down from New- York to his home in Indiana on business, and no especially political significance is attributed to his trip.

Certainly there was none attached to his visit to Louisville. He was sanguine of Democratic success in November, and said the Democracy of New York was as solid as a stone wall. The the antisnappers" and all would vote for Cleveland and Stevenson. As for his own State of Indiana, he thought that it would also be surely found in the Democratio column. He aid that as the end of the campaign approached the work at the National headquarters increased wonderfully fact and that it had become immense.

He found much of encouragtent in expressions of leading Democrats from the North, South, East and West. As for the Third party, it had, so far as the Democracy was concerned, about ceased to cut a figure in the campaign. Mr. Sheerin expressed sympathy for President Harrison in his present great afflition, and said he hoped that during the political strife now at white heat nothing would be said that would deepen his bereavement. Mr.

Sheerin is a man about forty-five sears of age, a thorough politician and a polished gentleman in manner and appearance. He has a number of aequain, lances here, and met Miss Dougherty-now Mrs. Sheerin-while she was attending school in Indiana. Capt. William Youngblood, of Birmingham, was here yesterday on his way home from a trip North.

He is one of the leading Republicans of Alabama, and for years member of the National Committee. It WAS Capt. Youngblood who, four years ago, said that it he believed Mr. Harrison meant what he said looking to negro domination in the South, that everything he bad in Alabama would be for sale. The Democratio of Louisville will turn out in force to-morrow night to hear Senator Voorhees speak in New Albany to the Democracy of Floyd connty, Ind.

Hon. Asher G. Caruth wired Senator John G.

Carlisle at Covington yesterday and asked him to address the Democracy of Louisville on the occasion of the big rally November 3. In reply Senator Carlisle wired that he had promised to be in New York the last week of the campaign. Mr. Caruth then telegraphed to know it Senator Carlisle could not speak in Louisville during this month, but has not yet received a reply. Considerable interest is being mani1 in municipal politics, as all the wards are to elect Councilmen and the even wards are to elect Aldermen in December.

It seems likely that there will be tivo or more candidates for each of tho offices. The possibilities and probabilities are being discussed all round and the naine of thoso montioned is legion. As far as known all the hold overs except Mr. Stucky and Dr. Griffiths will again Hoffer, and there promises to be a fight for their shoes.

Mr. Arthur Wallace is announced straight- out to succeed Aldernan Stucky, and will have a field to contend with composed of Mr. B. T. Gividen, Me.

Wm. Porter and perhaps others. Mr. McDermott will make the race against Alderman Enright in the Eighth ward, and in the Tenth it is more than probable that Jack Mellett will be candi late. The entries will not, however, close, nor w91 the fun begin in earnest, until after the P1-sidential election.

Those elected in December only hold over until next November, when an entire new board of Aldermen and Councilmen will be chosen. Unless there change in the charter submitted, both boards will then be elected from the cityat-large. 'The Councilmen must reside in their wards, but the Aldermen may be taken from any pant of the city. The Fourth Ward Democratio Club, of which G. J.

Graeser is President and G. C. Seifert Secretary, held a rally last night in Reagan's Hall, on the corner of Main and Jackson streets. Mr. Thomas Walsh was the first speaker, and gave the result of his recent inquiries and observations as to politics in Indiana.

While the outward display was not the equal of some former campaigns, he felt assured that the Democrats were doing more effective work than the Republicans. In Kentucky the important work to be done by the working Democrats was that of reaching the workingmen, who were the mainstay of the party. He compared the Republican policy to the old feudal system which impoverished the masses, and to the landlord system in Ireland which oppressed the people there. Cleveland promised to support those principles which would lighten the burdens of the poor, and Cleveland was man who would keep his word. W.

W. Tabb, who followed, gave evidence that he had devoted much study to the heavier questions involved in the conflict between Democrats and RepubHeans. Mr. Sel. Miller was then introduced and made a stirring speech for Democracy, and scathingly arraigned the Republican party.

Owing to the lateness of the hour Mr. Miller touched upon but a few points, and closed with the expression of confidence in the election of Cleveland and Stevenson. Mr. N. T.

Crutchfield, closing speaker, briefly reviewed political field, and unvailed much Republican hypocrisy, saying that a party of tyranny while the Democratic party WaS one of fairness. After some discussion it was decided to hold a big rally at the same place Saturday night. A committee was appointed to visit the working men and personally notify them of this meeting, and request their attendance. The club membership was largely increased before the meeting adjourned. rousing meeting of the Demoerats about Schardine's was held last evening at 8 o'clock.

There was a large and enthusiastio crowd present to hear Congressman Caruth speak. He gave one of his usual clear, logical, forcible and convincing speeches on the tariff and the Force bill. Great enthusiasm was aroused by his address. Mr. F.

H. Gibbs divided the honors with Mr. Caruth. His addrese was cheered to the echo, and was pronounce one of the best campaign efforts heard in this section for some time. Mr.

Gibbs touched on all the questions of the campaign, and dealt with them in a pleasing and thoroughly masterly way. When be ended Mr. Caruth left his seat and congratulated him on the excellence of his oration. Several gentlemen crowded up, and one advised Mr. Caruth to take Mr.

Gibbs with him all the time, as his address was one of the best he had heard in yours. This is Mr. Gibba' secomI speech. 'The first was received in the same manner. Mr.

Gibbs came to Louisville from Syracuse, N. ile two years ago. He a lawyer. has been doing excellent work for his party during the present campaign. He will probably male several more addresses with Mr.

Caruth. The usual Tuesday night session will be held at the Garfield Republican schoolhouse to-night at 8 o'elock. A number of prominent Republioans will addresa the meeting. Those who will be there are Col. John Barret, Matt O'Doherty, J.

Watts, John Feland, Andrew Cowan and others. It was announced that Judge George Denny would speak tonight. Last night he telegraphed that, owing to business and bad health, ho would not be able to get to the meeting. A picture of Mr. A.

She Was Twenty Years Lockwood's Junior and Soon Learned Te Love Another. Mrs.

Johnes, Once of Louisville, Goes To Berlin and Gets Divorced There. She Is Satisfied To Be Single, But Lockwood Thinks Johnes Treated Him Badly. BOTH HUSBANDS POETS. (New York Herald.) Thousands of strangers have turned to ask: Who is that distinguished looking person 27 as they passed in Broadway or Fifth avenue a man of commanding statue and stately carriage, with snowy locks, a white mustache of military cut, and a thoughtful countenance. To every club lounger and afternoon promenader he has been for years a figure familiar the tower on Madison Square Garden CE the trees in the square itself.

Nearly all have known that he was Ingersoll Loekwood, ex-United States Consul to Hanover: INGERSOLL LOCKWOOD. of trade journals. The elder Tinker that he was the founder of the famous Titans, to which no one less than six feet, tall could gain membership, and that he was a writer of songs and a dreamer of literary dreams. None of the thousands that have wondered who he was nor many of those to whom his identity was known could have guessed that beneath the placid exterior he alwaya wore hay always the anguish of so unhappy romance- a story beginning with marriage to one twenty years his junior, with long chapters of infelicity to follow. Perhaps the story would never have been told had not another and younger man, himself married, appeared upon the scene and won the affection of young Mrs.

Lockwood had she not left her husband and obtained a Dakota divorce, whilo the other man's wife was divorced from him in Europe, and had there not been a secret marriage in Jersey City by which young Mrs. Lockwood became Mrs. Johnies. Edward R. Johnes is the name of the other man." He is a wealthy lawyer at No.

50 Broadway, and. a cousin of Millionaire Charles Johnes, some months ago was committeed to a private asylum or the insane. He was formerly an 8580- ointe of Col. Robert J. Ingersoll, and, like Lockwood, is of poetic temperament, and has tried his hand at verse.

Until a year or so ago he supported fine country plaec at Flushing, L. and kept his yacht, doge and horses. ile is now living at the fashionable Hotel San Remo, No. 146 Central Park West, with the new Mrs. Johnes.

Johnes is forty years old and Lockwool fifty-one. The unhappy romance of these various lives began in the house of Dr. William Frederick Holcom be, No. 54 East Twentyfifth street, in the fall of 1684. Dr.

Holcombe lets out rooms. Ingersoll Lockwood was one of his lodgers in 1884. In the house also were Henry F. Tinker and his wife and their daughter Winifred, then nearly twenty-three years old. The family came originally from New England, but had been living in Western Pennsylvania before they came to New York.

The father had not Usen in active business for several years, but Franklin H. Tinker, his son, was well known in this city as a member of the firm of Root Tinker, publishers THE PRESENT MRS. JOHNES. died in Washington in November, 1889, and Franklin H. died in this city in May, brought 1890, it from was cerebral meningitis, business on, said, by troubles.

Miss Winifred had been graduated from Vassar College just before she went to board with her father and mother at Dr. Holcombe'6. She had brown hair, dark eyes and a graceful figure. It used to be said she looked much like Pauline Hall. She was vivacious, witty and accomplished.

Lockwood, then furty-three, became acquainted with the Tinkers in the natural course of boarding-house intercourse. It was not long before he began to feel something stronger than the passing regard of acquaintanceship for Miss Winifred, and one day he told her that he loved her. He pleaded with her, as men of poetic tonguea plead. She listened silently- they were married. That is the first chapter of the story in brief.

The marriage was without the knowledge of Mr. and Mrs. Tinker. The pair had simply gone out for a walk one afternoon, called on a parson and the trick was done. Lockwood at this time was receiving a small salary from his brother Howard, well known as a successful publisher at No.

126 Duane street. His only other income was from magazine writing, with the publication of an occasional book. But it was enough to live on, and with his young wife he set up housekeeping. He wad fanciful, she was spirited, and the inevitable result followed- -discord now and then. They lived together as happily as disparity of age and tempera ment would permit, however, until 1888, when Lockwood took his young wife to Saratoga.

At the fashionable watering place Lockwood was obliged to leuve his wife aloue, being called back to the city on business. Slie met Johnes. And just here the situation in the Johnes household at that time has a bearstory. Johnes, himselt a Kentuckian, had been marred in 1883 to Miss May Harris, daughter of Theodore Harris, then and still a wealthy banker and prominent citizen of Louisville, Ky. One child, a boy now nine years old, wag born to them.

Young Mrs. Johnes, like young Mrs. Lockwood, was cultured and vivacious. Her bent was musical, and she wished to be a song. writer- -poetry, you see, runs all through the story.

But though Johnes wrote verses, too, he and his wife did not harmonize. They had lived in the house at Flushing for some time, agreeing they could never agree, and before he went to Saratoga in 1888 she had gone to Berlin to study music. Johnes was willing. This was the state of affairs in both families when the season at Saratoga ended and Mrs. Lockwood returned to her husband in this city.

Johnes soon became caller at the Lockwood flat, he and Lockwood became gobd friends, and the next summer Johnes had both Mr. and Mrs. Lockwood down to the Flushing house as guests, while Lockwood did some writing. Meantime Mrs. Johnes had returned from Europe and she and Johnes lived under kind of arined neutrality.

When the visit of the Lockwoods was over they took a flat at Forty-second and Fifth avenue, and the incompatibility of temperament between them increased. Jones was a frequent caller. In December, 1889, Lockwood returned to the flat one evening to find his young bird flown. There was a letter telling hun she could never live with him again. It has since been learned that she went to her parents, who had removed to Washington.

In the Johnes family things were not much better. Husband and wife had decided that a divorce was desirable and Mrs. Johnes had returned to Germany. From this point the story', action is rapid. Young Mrs.

Lockwood, with her mother, went to Bismarck, N. in June, 1850. As 8001 as possible she applied for a divorce, frun Ingersoll Lockwood, and as he made no answer a decree was granted to her in March of last year. The gronnd alleged was cruelty. Jobnes, too, had been astir.

His wile had applied for a divotce in Berlin, and he journeyed thither to see that everything went smoothly. A decree in Mrs. Johnes' favor, with alimony- understood to be the same amount Johnes had been regularly allowing her for some time was granted in December of last year. Each was allowed the custody of the little boy a part of every year. So the beginning of this year found Mrs.

Lockwood and Mr. Johnes both freed by courts far distant from this State of their matti nonial fetters. What should you think likely to happen next? Well, it did happen on April 26, in the Dutch Reformed church of Jersey City, when tho pastor, the Rev. Gottlieb Andreae, pronounced Mr. Johnes and Mrs.

Leckweod man and wife. Naturally, they didn't care to have a society event made of the marriage, and it is not difficult to keep such things secret in Jersey City. No notice of the marriage has been published, and beyond a few intimate friends the very many acquaintances of the Lockwood, Tinker, Johnes, Harris and Shipman families (Johnes' mother married the Rev. Dr. Shipman, of this city, some years ago) will hear the news for the first time through the Herald.

Johnes bad been living at No. 124 East Thirty-sixth street before his second marriage, but immediately after it he took apartments for himself and Mrs. Johnes in the San Remo. Mrs. Johnes received me there yesterday afternoon.

She was much shocked to think the news of her matrimonial experiences must be published, but said she had nothing to be ashamed of. She would give no details of the varions complica tions beyond admitting that she had been divorced in North Dakota and married to Mr. Johnes in Jersey City. Later I found Mr. Johnes.

He, too. was much pained at the unavoidable publicity, but said ho preferred to have the Herald present the facts it they must come out. For the former Mrs. Johnes and of Mr. Lockwood he had only the kindliest expressions.

Incompatibility of temperament on both he said, had been the only trouble. His relations with Mrs. Johnes No. 1, with all her family and with THE FORMER MRS. JOHNES.

Mrs. Tinker were entirely friendly. The Harris family particularly understood the matter and approved his course, His mother, Mrs. Shipman, also was aware of all the circumstances, and sympathized with him and Mrs. Johnes No.

2. Ingersoll Lockwood is member of the Colonial Club, and lodges with friends in Harlem. I could not And him yesterday, but I did find his brother, Col. Heury C. Lock wood, who verifled the main outlines of the story given here.

His brother had never made any allegation against the character of his former wife, 80 far as Col. Lockwood knew, but attributed the whole trouble to Johnes in alienating her affections. Mrs. Johnes is a highly nccomplished woman, and is a niece of the Hon. Adlai E.

Stevenson, Democratio nominee for Vice President. Mr. Johnes is well known here, and was in Louisville last week to look into the titles of some mountain land which syndicate is interested in buying. Stole His Money Box. Another WaS added last night to the long list of street-car robberies.

JEFFERSONVILLE. Joseph G. Moore has returned from Mrs. Sallie Goodrich, who lives art Indiana avenue and Front street, in Jeffersonville, was assaulted in her backyard Sunday night by an unknown man. It is believed that the man was mistaken in the identity of the woman, and that his object was the abduction of Mrs.

Lulie Hart, an actress, who is the sisterin-law of Mrs. Goodrich. The woman had gone into the back yard after dark, and it was while there that a man, who could not be positively recognized, seized and choked her. When she began to scream he ran away. The woman believes that she was mistaken for Mrs.

Hart, and that the man was Jack Keenan, who was formerly Mrs. Hart's husband. Domestic, troubles caused them to be divorced some months ago. It is said that Keenan, who is from this city, has constantly persecuted the woman since the divorce, and that he recently fired a shot at her. He has not.

been seen since. A shrewd political trick is being worked in New Albany by the venal voters, who, under the Australian election law, in effect in Indiana, have found it a difficult task to market their votes. The scheme is to approach the party managers, usually the Chairman of the County Central Committee, and inform him that unless money to pay the rent, usually $10, is not forthcoming at once that he (the voter) will be compelled to move from the ward, and that he will thereby lose his vote. Of course the required sum has to be raised, for a vote counts in Indiana on either side. This trick originated among the Republicans, who endeavored to gain Democratic votes by inducing the voters of that party to leave their voting precincts, but it 8001 spread and within a few days the Republican leaders were besieged by colored and white voters of their own party, who knew sure thing when they saw it, and availed themselves of the opportunity gain a few dollars.

Up to the present no voter has been permitted to move from his precinct, providing he let his intentions be known. Magistrate Keigwin married three Kentacky couples in Jeffer-onville yesterday.
