MARRIAGE. john p. Lonas is the name Of
a young, handsome, and enterprlslng merchant
of Mt. Jackson, Shenandoah county, Va, who
has for long time past been enamored with
Young lady of some eighteen or nineteen sum-
mers, the daughter of a rich and well-known
miller, of the same place, named Maphis.-
"Maphis' Family Flour, Best" has long
been known, and held an enyiable reputation
all through Shenandoah county, and, indeed,
all throug Oh that portion of Virginia, and furth-
er still But now we have not to do with Mr..
Maphis flour. Well, ''true love never did
run smooth" as the rich, but cruel, papa,
said no
But Mr.. Lonas was not the man to be cut
off with no from the father when the daugh-
ter whispered yes - and it was, therefore,
in all secrecy arranged that the lovers should
escape to this city, in order here to be united
in holy wedlock Yesterday forenoon they
both suddenly left their homes, and, taking
the Manassas train at Edinburg, five miles
this side of Mt Jackson. started for this city.
Arriving here in the afternoon, they went to
the Imperial Hotel, (late the Jenness House, }
on Pennsylvania avenue. Arrived there, the
bridegroom, that was to be, boldly entered the
office, registering his real name, in round,
business-like hand, and writing nderneath,
Miss Maphis, Mt jackson, Va The lady
was evidently little Hurried and excited, and
looked auxiously around, clinging timidly to
her escort. After stay Of only about half an
hour in the parlor of the hotel, the youthful
couple repaired to the residence Of the Rev
DR.. Alexander Gibson, pastor of the Foundry
Church, who performed the marriage ceremony,
license having been previously procured. =
This over and 1.-THE twain pronounced one.
Mr.. Lonas departed with his bride, with his
marriage certificate in his pocket, and, return
ing to the hotel, went straightway up to TIE
register, and erasing the name Miss Maphis.
from it, added the words land wife to bis
own signature, presenting his certificate to the
hotel clerk to prove that he had right to do
so. For the sake of 1.-The young couple, we
sincerely hope that the obstinate parents will
relent, and, when the bridal couple shall re,
turn, welcome them to his parental bosom and
give them his blessing. = Wash Patriot.

THE EVANS DEFALCATIoN IN PENEsYLvA-
MIA Joint committee of the Pennsylvania
Legislature is investigating the transaction by
which George o. Evans retained 100000 of
the State funds, claiming the amount as COM
missions for the collection of war claim on
the United States treasury. AS to the dispo-
sition of this money, John w. Forney, (then
collector of customs at Philadelphia and pub
Usher of The Press newspaper among other
witnesses, was examined. He testified that he
wrote letter of introduction for Evans to Gov
ernor Geary, who subsequently appointed him
as collection agent. The examination proceeds:
Q. Subsequent to the receipt of moneys by
Mr.. Evans from the United States government
do you know of any division of the commits
sion retained by Mr.. Evans?
A.. Nothing, except land suppose that is
the object Of my being summoned here) my
cousin, D. C. Forney, was one of his sub
agents | don't know when he was appointed
0. Do you know of Mr.. d. G. Forney having
received any money?
A. Yes sir. He received $4,000 of MIR.
Evans, [ think $4,000 Of which he handed
to me, which received, believing it to have
been fairly earned, an opinion which has been
subsequently, confirmed by the judgment of
your local courts he received this amount last
summer; | think from Mr.. Evans.
Q. Upon what account was the $4,000 hand
ed to you?
A suppose because of our relatiops Ger
tainly not because Of any services | rendered
rendered none know nothing of the dispo-
siton Of this money, other than of the $1,000
speak of.

SAD MINING AccIDENT.-From q conversation
with Mr.. Cooke, of Dutch Flat, and by letter
from MIR. Hane, of Alta, we are informed of
sad and fatal mining accident which occurred at
Green Valley, in this county, last Tuesday 1t
seems that Mr. Lewis Shearer, an old resident
of this county and an experienced miner, was
experimenting the work of running tunnel in
the above named locality for San Francisco
company. The work from the first has been very
of quick sand, and the consequent extra pains
and labor required in timbering. Indeed Mr..
Cooke says it was impossible to timber the tunnel
but what more or less sand would occasionally
leak through, and at times cause an obstruction
in the tunnel. On the day above mentioned
while Mr.. Shearer and two other gentlemen,
VIM Laird and Robert Hentag, We're at work in
the tunnel a general cave took place, begin
ming at the far end near where the men were
working and caving in nearly to the mouth. At
the first signs of danger the men made a rush
for safety; Mr. Laird and Mr. Hentag barely
escaped, but not without receiving very serious
injuries, while Mr.. Shearer must have been
cauSnt Dy tne lalilnS eartn ana tnDerS ana, s'u
to say, was buried alive in the tunnel. This sad
occurrence caused a deep and sympathetic sensa-
ton in Dutch Flat, Alta and surrounding country,
where the three gentlemen were well known,
and in few hours from the time the accident
occurred the wonded men had been made as
comfortable as possible, and large force was at
work endeavbring to extricate the body Of Mr..
Shearer. Over thirty men left Dutch Flat
Wednesday morning to assist in the work OF ex-
tricaton, but it is thought by some that the
sandy nature of the soil will prevent the recovery
of the body without a very great expenditure OF
labor and means.
