ANOTHER ELOPEMENT.
Mr. Banks, of Dayton, KY, and a
N XEihn1ur E.n In HNnnrnnn

Mr. Banks, of Dayton, KY, and a
Fair Widow Go 10 Europe.
New Richmond, o., and Dayton, KY, are
similarly excited to a fever heat over the
recent elopement of Mr.. H. O. d. Banks OF
the latter city, with a spruce little widow
named Belle Lindsey of the former place.
Mr. Banks, who is a retired druggist from
Knoxville or Nashville, Tenn, purchased
property in Dayton, KY, where he has re-
sided with his wife, for several months,
having removed there from New Richmond.
In the latter town he made the aCquaint-
ance of the buXom widow, who was a
teacher in the public schools and the
mother of two children, and his acquaint-
ance gradually developed into an in imacy
which resulted in their elopement. Banks
represented to his wife that he state of his
health would be much improved by trip
to Europe, in which she fully agreed, little
dreaming that this was but a ruse to cover
an elopement with his fascnater.
Mr.. Banks is represented as being the
owner of considerable property, but his
wife claims that most of it is in her name
Mrs. Banks takes a philosophical view of
the case, SAYS her husband is higi-toned
honorable gentleman, and she will not say
a word against him. She said TO a reporter
II Will nOC DE long before my nllSDanu
sees his mistake, and when he does ! am
perfectly willing to take him back to my
home, for he is too honorable a man to
have acted that way unless being driven
to it,"
The case is peculiar in many respects, es-
peciaIly in the fact that Mr.. Banks seemed

comfort before leaving. lie some time ago

Dayton, Ky, had it decided to Mrs Banks,
and in other respects took especial pains 10

\ few days ago while Mrs. Michael
Metzler, living in Akron, was husking
corn in field, she was struck by sew
eral stones, which came from III UNI
known source. Later iii the day her
children were struck III the same way,
and fled in terror TO the house. On
"Wednesday evening, while Mrs. Metzler
was again i'll the field, She was again
struck by large Jumps of earth and sew
eral stones in similar manner as he.
fore. Yesterday morning, us Mrs
Metzler and her little daughter were
standing before their cellar door, a large
pebble came up from the cellar striking
the little girl in the face.
Father Brown, y Catholic priest of
this city, was present, and about 10
O'Clock offered prayer. Hardly had
he finished, however, before two large
stones fell Mt his feet, followed by u
dozen 81 more pebbles, which came
from the ceiling and walls, striking the
persons who were i'll the room.
A Commercial reporter with 4 com
panon went to the house to-day, and
upon entering the brick building were
given chairs near the door, where IN
excellent view Of the room could be OBJ
tanned. Mrs. Metzler with tears III her
eyes declared it was not ghosts or any
thing Of the kind, and said it must be u
curse on the family. As she spoke she
was standing in the middle of the room,
and had pointed out to the reporter
from whence the stones came, when
suddenly pebble the size Of hickory
nut dropped from the ceiling and fell !,
striking Mrs. Metzler on the arm. The
reporter witnessed AL this, and picked
up the stone as. it fell.
Soon after this n neighbor came to
the front door md inquired if anything
more had transpircd. The reporter
walked to the door, and was showing
the stone which had just fell to the
neighbour, when suddenly Il large peb-
BILE, four times the size of the first one.
struck the reporter on the shoulder and
fell to the floor. His companion saw
the stone come through the ceiling
about yard from where the other one
had came from.
Mrs. Metzler stated to the reporter
that at night the stones fell with II
whistling noise. She showed to the
reporter about twenty stones that had
fallen during the forenoon.
