Wednesday 2stA NoVcmber 1877.

It would be scarcely possible to have
better weather than that of the month now
drawing to q close. There have been
frequent showers, occasional heavy rains,
and intervals Of bright warm sunshine.
On Wednesday last q very heavy rain
fell all over the central and western parts
of the island. 1t was heaviest along the
northside, where falls Of IS to 40 lines or
more were reported. The streams were
rushing across the roads after q fashion
that has not been seen for the past seven
years. From Basin eastwards the fall
was Of small amount. From the few de-
tails which we have before US we believe
the fall over all :he sugar growing portion
of tho island will be found to average 10
lines or more for the month.

that with this army, ofwhich neither thou

in order that we there may have thy head

The Way Kansas Lover Handled His
SWeetheart's Father.

From the htchison Champion.
The Belew family, on Twentieth street,
have settled their disputes, and conse-
quently there will be no more revenue
derived by the city from scmi-occasional
fines from the paternal head of the fam
ily. The difficulties have been as fol-
lows: David r. Bcllcw, teacher of
languages and telegraph operator, mar
ried the widow of an aged but respecta-
bic merchant Of Terre Haute, Ind, about
three years ago. Bellew had been tutor
to Miss Dora, the eldest, and Miss Nettie
c., the Youngest Of old Glassner's family.
Soon after his marriage he removed with
his wife to Kansas City, where he en-
gagged in the dairying and market garden
business. Considerable property is said
to have been purchased, but as to this
nothing definite is known.
Bellew proved to be Il worthless, lazy
character, and a nuisance to the southern
end OF the city. About three weeks ago
Mrs. Bellew went back to Terre Haute an
invalid, leaving her oldest daughter Dora
in charge OF the family affairs. This
young lady, it appears, held a right and
title to the Seventeenth street property.
It was her own by her own individual
right, having been purchased with her
| own money in the name Of a trustee, and
held for her own use. Her drunken
stepfather had been source OF great an
noyance and aggravation for two or three
years past. He has insulted the young
man who has been paying attention to
his stepdaughter, and in fact prevented
his visits to the house Tuesday night
however, the young ladies invited half
dozen OF more young friends to the house,
among them Mr.. Joe c. L., the afore-
said young sutton from Seneca, KS, tor
mer friend Of the family in Indiana. The
cold man, came home about ten o'clock
with a friend, but tidhing some strangers
present went out again to the avenue,
and came back about an hour afterwards
and broke up the party. ..
Not satisfied with this, BeiIew attacked
his stcp-daughter in a violent manner
nd was seconded by his drunken guest
who, it is to be regretted, stands high as
a citizen. The dilemma of the young
ladies was a painful one, but Miss Dors
was equal to the emergency. She re-
qucsted the young gentleman visiting
her to expcl the two drunken men. i
was done instantaneously and effectively
both parties rolling promiscuously GU
into the street. Early on Friday morn
ing the courageous. young lady was mar
ried to her choice, and within three hour:
afterwards accompanied her husband Il
court to answer to a charge of assault
: The old man is left out high and dry now
The home which knew him once will
know him no more. The courageou
young lady has the best wishes Of til,
Times she solved family difficulty sue
cessfully. Everybody in the 'soutn end
endorses the brave young girl in he
practical way Of evading a family quar-
rel.
