PRESIDENT GARFIELD'S WIDOW t She and, Her D&iigfotpr. not to be Married. CLEVELAND, Ohio, October 12,1887.—A rumour was circulated ift, this xsty ^wd elsewhere to the effect that Mrs James A.

Iy-is therefore unLiksly i^hat fJwould risk such a trip at this time on accoun of the ill- ness in Europe of her niece, Mi-w May UNlou, of this city, as wasfiBtated in some of the papers. It iateported on good authority that Miss Mollie denied that she was ever engaged to Mr Brown, and it is plainly evident that the yountj roan's suit was not looked upon favourably by the family; ond,tt--uny rate it is safe to say that the marriage is off. Mrs Garfield recently remarked that the only thing that pained her, in .connection with the riuntmiSfef her own marriage, was, that the public should think that sbe could so soon prove false to the memory of General Garfield.

He also signified that a private audience would be granted to Sir Charles^ who naturally availed himself of this favour, and remained fur a.long time with Abdul Hajmid.

The plea was duly served, and there was a letter from her solicitor that she did not intend to answer that plea.—Sir James Hannen rescinded the decre nisi, and dismissed the petition on pay- ment df the Queen's Proctor's costs,
