From our own correspondent.
INDEPENDENCE, KAs, Dec. -, 1873.
Editor Tines:
The town Of Independence, Montgomery
county, is certainly deserving of the title
which i. has acquired: the Metropolis of
Southern Kansas. On every hand We see evil
dences of its thrift and prosperity. Since
our last visit a fine twc-story brick block of
four stores has been built on the cas-, side of
Pennsylvania avenue, and another, TO con-
tain SIX stores, Is TO be erected early in the
spring. Nearly two hundred buildings have
been built during the present year. Among
them We notice fine school and church build.
ings, and an unusually large number Of ele.
CANT dwellings.
The county is one OF the most ihickiy set
tied in the State, there being settler, and
sometimes more, On every quarter section.
Saturday is field day for the business lnen
Of Independence, and in these days Of hard
times and high prices, it does one good to see
the crowded, buoy streets of Independ-
ence on Saturday. Their trade ex-
tends for eighty or hundred miles
vest, and tor a considerable distance
east, west, north and south. From all these
directions the people come pouring INTO the
town on Saturday, until the streets and side
walks are almost blocksdcd. The stores are
thronged with customers from "ear!y morn
till dewy eve" and the amount of goods sold
is certainly surprising. On the streets the
hoarse cries of half dozen auctioneers hold
a crowd of people together, eager to buy
their wares.
Independence hiss a population Of about
3, 800, six churches, two scho.I-, and about
one hundred and twenty-six business firms.
Three good banks have vea,t red the storms
OF the past two months and e' ;oy the entire
confidence vf the people. We refer To the
banking houses OF Leonard * Wills, former

The Mormon wife and her husband had

had braved such dangers for; and not salts
fed with this, she insisted on marriage in
the States in the old style she had been
taught in her girlhood to honor, and John"

Lake, declaring that she could never face her
former friends unless she was married by the
ceremony acknowledged BY them to be pro-

to repair the rude shock she felt her moral
character had received h- entertaining the

The steamship Pennsylvania, of the
American Line, arrived on Saturday
afternoon at her pier, above Washing
ton'street wharf. A few days ago a
warrant was placed in the hands of De.
Deceive Mears to arrest the notorious
Frank Massey, who, it was supposed,
was passenger ON the vessel under the
name of franklin B. Cope. 1t will be
remembered that Massey created quite
sensation at Cape May last summer, as
stated that he was the only son of the
Duke Of Leeds, and was on mission OF
pleasure to this country. He ran up
large hotel bills, and borrowed from
every one willing to lend. His real
character came to light only when his
money was gone.
When the vessel arrived on Saturday
afternoon, Detective Mears went up to
the accused and placed him under arrest.
he was considerably surprised at such
q reception, and after being told what &c
WAS charged with, taken to the Central
Station, where he had q hearing before
Alderman Butler. He gave the name
of Franklin Cope, and was charged, on
warrant issued by VIM. Whitehead,
Justice of the peace, Chester county, on
the oath OF Caleb Cope, with obtaining
the sum Of twenty dollars by a certain
false pretense. There were no wit.
nesses examined, and the accused was
held in 81. 600 bail. In default of this
he was committed for trial in Chester
county. Massey said he WAS IS years
old, and came from the country of Lin
erick, ireland, where his parrants, who
were wealthy, left him $40, coo. In high
living he spent all but $1,000. with
which he cine to this city and obtained
employment from Caleb Cope, of West
Chester, remaining there nine months,
where he worked honestly and faiths
fully. He began to drink, and after
leaving MIR. Cope gained large sum of
money by representing himself as Frank
lin B. Cope, his son. Last summer he
went to Massey. After he had spent
all his money he SUDDENLY decamped and
worked his way to France on a ship,
and subsequently, went to London,
where he defrauded a convention Ct
Quakers by stating tina, he was Cope's
ION. They found him out at last, Mas
sey says, from the fact that they paid
his passage on the Pennsylvania, and
landed him into the hands OF justice.
