A Real Romance.

"A correspondent OI tno NeW 1OTk
Times tells this strange story:
The discovery of two former inmates of
the Delaware County Poor House living
together in the woods of Wayne County,
Pa, has recalled one of the most singu-
lar family histories ever recorded. In
1854 Lucy Ann Lobdell, daughter of an
old lumberman living on the Delaware
in the vicinity of Long Eddy, was mar.
ried to raftman named Henry Slater.
Mrs. Slater was seventeen years old, and
was known far and wide for her wonder
full skill in shooting the rifle, not only at
the target, but at deer and other game,
for which the Delaware valley was then
famous. After a year of married life
Slater deserted his wife and babe few
weeks old, and has never been heard of
since. Mrs. Skaters parents were very
poor, and objected to her making her
home with them. She occasionally placed
her child in their charge, and laying aside
the habiliments of her sex, donned male
apparel and adopted the life of a hunter.
The mountains of Delaware, Sullivan,
and Ulster counties in this State, and the
Delaware river counties of Pennsy lvanis,
were at that time almost unbrOken will
dernesses. For eight years Mrs. Slater
made her home in their midst, roaming
alone over the vast territory, and finding
shelter only in rude cabins which she
erected here and there. She made her
appearance 1t the settlements only when
in need Of ammnnition or supplies, e.
ehanging skins and game for what sle
required Her Wild life s.s one of thrill

A Singular Phenomenon.

The Panama Star and Herald reports a
curious phenomenon as having occurred
at Aspinwall during the present month,
and calls upon the scientific for an ex-
PLANTATION. The beach, says that journal,
is Of, coral formation and extends from
thelighthouse eastward along the northern
shore of Manzanilla Island for mile or
more, and is open to the Caribbean. Up
on the night in question, or rather on the
morning following, this whole distance
was covered with deposit of deep
igo-blue-somcthing resembling
u broad ribbon stretched along the linn
its of high tide, which there amounts to
only about eighteen inches. Beholders
were startled by this very peculiar ap-
pearance, and it was at first thought that
perhaps Old Neptune and the Tagus in
digo business might have had something
to do with it; nor was curiosity allayed
in the slightest when closer examine
ton revealed the archaeological fact that
this blue deposit consisted of millions of
a peculiar, fiat, shapeless sort Of jelly
fish, smaller than the hand, rounded in
contour, with slightly raised ridge run
ming what would seem to be fore and aft
over the back. Everybody looked and
wondered, but the wisest-and there are
some perfect Solomons in that city
could not make out what they were, or
what such singular and sudden phc-
nomenon meant. The next day all the
brighr color had faded out, and the gel
atinous deposit, although giving out a
strong, unpleasant odor, dried up and
suon disappeared.
These facts are vouched for by re-
sponsible parties, and should they meet
the eye of science, we beg that their i'm
perfect mention may DO considered u
prayer for light on this blue mystery.

Another Theft

Mr.. Cleveland, of the Union Depot
hotel, has been unfortunate of late as
regards losses by robbing. Besides
losing thirty dollars in this manner a
day or two ago and several articles of
clothing, he yesterday lost forty dollars
by one of the news boys that runs on
the Central road. Mr.. Cleveland has
been in the habit of sending meal
tickets paid him by employees on the
Central to headquarters at Houston by
the boy to be cashed. Two or three
days ago he gave the boy forty dollars
worth Of these tickets to be cashed.
The proprietor Of the depot hotel at
Sherman also did the same thing.
Tuesday nights train was the time for
the youngsters return, but he has not
yet turned up, and both hotel men
have since learned that he collected
the money on the tickets and left for
parts unknown. We did not learn the
name of the boy.

The Concert LasI Night.

The concert last night at the Taber-
nacle Methodist Episcopal church CIV
en- 10y the Sunday-school, was well ut.
tended and proved to be most enjoy
able affair. The Rotations, tableaux
and songs by the children were OF high
order, and showed She excellent man
ner in which they had been trained for
the entertainment. One of the most
amusing pieces of the evening was the
sketch of the "0ld Fashion School,
produced under the direction of Miss
Anna Jones. And in fact the entire
programme of the entertainment was
carried out in most interesting and
satisfactory manner. Mrs. Heating
and Miss Denman presided at the
piano and Professor Lawrence's band
discoursed delightful music. Great
credit is due Mrs. Allen, wife of the
worthy pastor, for her untiring efforts
In getting up the entertainment. The
proceeds go to aid in paying the church
debt.

Murder nt Arlington.

From Mr.. Waller, who passed through
Arlington yesterday, we learn of the
killing of Mr.. John Tumlin, who re-.
sides near Johnson station. Tumlin
and men named Cary had not been
on good terms for some time. Saturday
night Tumlin, with number OF others,
were In saloon In Arlington, when
Cary, accompanied by one BEEN, en-
tered. Some words passed between
Tumlin and Cary, after which they
took hold Of each other. No sooner
had they done so than BEEN, who was
standing near, drew knife from his
pocket, and, stepping up to where
Tumlin was standing, plunged the
blade into his neck. The wounded
man fell to the floor and died In few
minutes. The murderer then ran from
the room and has not been seen since.
Cary aad man named Warren were
arrested as accessories, and placed In
jail at Fort Worth to await trial.
BEEN, the man who did the stabblng,
has been chopping wood near Arling-
ton for some time. Ii is supposed that
Cary hired BEEN to commit the crime.
Cary aud Warren have heretofore
stood we'll In the community In which
they have resided. Tumlin, the muir
dered man, IL well known In this city,
where he has many friends.

who had brought u load II cotton to
town, reached the ferry on his return,
Ito drove his wagon and team
Of two horses on the ferry-boat,
which was fastened to the bank,
and stepped back on the shore
short distance TO talk to the ferryman
before starting. While on the bank,
the horses became frightened, and be
fore Mr.. Smart could reach them, they
plunged into the river, which IL thirty
feet deep Mt that point, dragging
the wagon and contents after
them. by their struggles the
animals were released from the traces,
and they then swan down the river u
couple Of hundred yards aud turned
toward the bank, which they reached
In safety and were secured by their
owner When the wagon tumbled into
the river the bed was thrown OIL and
Immediately sank. In II was about
S75 worth of goods and supplies, which
Mr. Smart had purchased in this city
during the day.
About half an hour after this occur
renee, and before the boat had made o
trip Mr.. II. j. Davis came up with q
two horse team, the wagon heavily
loaded with lumber. Mr.. Davis drove
on the boat, but his team had gainedsucl
headway that he uld not stop them
and they ran of the opposite end int
the river. Mr.. Davis swan to thu
bank. The ferryman, n negro named
Henry Miller, took skin and roweC
out to where the struggling team was
and held their heads out of the waite
for a few minutes, but their plunginl
soon filled his skiff with water and i
sank. A rope was then thrown to the
negro, by the aid of which he reached
the shore. The horses being unable t,
eXtricate themselves from the harness
which was new and strong, wer,
drowned. The two horses, wagon anC
lumber were valued at 800. Mr.
Davis had also just purchased TIT
harness, paying $40 for it,
The loss is serious one to Mr.. Davis
as is also that of Mr.. Smart, both o
them being men in moderate circum
stances.
