The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1879-08-15

The bride is a winsOme Young lady of prOba-
bly, p summers, and up TO saturday evening
last was an inmate of her fathers elegant
mansion, while the husband, few years her
senior is a resident of StrOngstOWn, Indiana
. comfy, and has a reputation which, 50 Tar as
we know is without blemish. The twain
who are now one had for a considerable time
. kept company, though in what Is understood
3 to have been direct opposition TO the COM
mands of the lady's father-she has no
mother living. Their meetings were COnSe-
quently held away from the parental home
but that they had frequent opportunity TO
enjoy each others society Is pretty well
known. and that in the end they were legally
married cannot be denied. subsequent TO
this marriage, which, as before stated, occur
red about one month ago, Mrs. StODheN re
NAMED under her fathers roof, being occa-
si0nally visited sub rosa by her newly-made
husband Mr.. StOphell seems for a time not
to have been in a position, or else lacked the
. nerve. to publicly claim his wife, though the
marital relations existing between them was
+ boldly avOwed and unquestiOnably accepted
by the entire community. On Saturday last,
however, Mr.. Stophell arrived in town and
put UP at the Blair House, where he was
Joined not long after by his faithful young
wife. The intention of the welded pair. II
we are rightly informed, was 10 take the
evening train for JOhnstown, but owing TO
the popularity of the circumstances sur
rounding the case Mrs. StOpheH Was observed
to be in a high state Of excitement on reach
ing the hotel and this was not diminished as
and few friends were engaged in the effort
to sOOthe and comfort the suffering lady,
they were surprised by the abrupt entrance
into the room Of Mr. MathiOt Reade the OnlN
brother of the distracted bride, who flourish
ed a loaded revolver and seemed intent upon
making short work Of the man who had had
the temerity to become his brother-ln-law
without his sanction or consent. 1t might
have been said earlier in this 10 us unpleaS-
ant narrative that Mr.. Reade the younger
had also been infieXibly opposed to the WOO
ing and winning OF his sister by Mr.. StopheH,
though on what special ground has not been
developed. Seeing the peril OF her husband,
Mrs Stopheli Valiently interpOSed herself
. between MS person and harm, and moment
later young Reade was disaUmed through the
united efforts of Mr. StOphell and Mr. CeleS-
tine Blair. son of the landlord, who Glanced
to he present. The revolver was found to be
a new one and had to all appearances not
. only been recently purchased, but was heav-
lily loaded in all its compartments. For the
eternal welfare of all concerned, it is a good
thing that the deadly weapon was stricken
aside before time was afforded for pulling
the trigger.
such was the ending of this part of what
may vet prove real tragedy, or at least be
attended with fatal results, and Mr.. Reade
the Younger after being unCeremOniOuSly
placed hOrS dt combat, as above stated, asti-
" left the premises. If that was all there is
to relate of the sad affair it could be told
without q sigh of regret; but the exciting
scenes through which she had Just passed
proved too much for poor Mrs. StOphell, al
ready suffering, as we have intimated, from
. nervous excitement, and she at once took to
bed III the hotel and continued to grow worse
and worse until 81 o'clock Sunday morning,
when hystercal coma interyened. In this
latter condition the unfortunate lady has re-
manned uD to present writing "wednesday
fOrenOOn), without any change in her Symp-
toms, except that she has paTtakCn yeTyspar
ingly of liquid nOurishment on several Occa-
SiOnS, though remaining in bed meantime

DrS. keim and Lennon We're called in with
out DELAY and did all they could for the SUf-
ferng lady, but such is the exceptional ma
ture vi the case that it was deemed advisable
on Tuesday last to summon DIR. John Low
man, OF JChnstOwn, who reached this place
the same evening and at once held consul
tatiOu with the medical gentleman above
named the conclusion reached being that the
stricken lady has very slim chance for life,
and even should she survive the probabilities
are that her reason viii he dethrOned.
It is needless to say that the afflicted huS-
band and father are constant attendants at
the bedside of her whom they both love dear
". and should God in Ills mercy restore her
once more to health and consciousness it IS
fair to presume that no further opposition
will be made bV either father or brother to
union which thus far has brought nothing but
/ discomfort and disaster to all concerned.
Should there be any change in Mrs. StO-
phclIS condition before our paper goes to
