DIVORCED NJ DEATH.
A Romnntie TrAgetIy Id Real Lilo,


ptTTsBuRsH, Pa, August 18.-Thort
terminated satternoon, byan indescrib
ably sad scene, romantic tragedy in rea
life, such as, happily, Is not often recorded
The little town Of Elensburg, in the hear
Of the Alleghenies, county seat Of Cambria
was the scene Of the several acts Of The
drama. George NJ. Reed, Esq, the most
prominent lawyer in the county, whose
name has twice been prominently men.
toned for the Supreme Judgeship Of
Pennsylvania, was the father 81 most
excellent daughter named Helen, about
twenty-five years old, The young lady
was secretly married 10 Mr.. T. Il. StopfeIl,
OF Indiana county, about q month ago,
notwithstanding the commands OF her
father, who was opposed to the match (al.
though 1t Is said Mr, Stopfell's character is
above reproach), and the determined on.
opsition Of her brother. -
Mr.. stopiell arrived In Edensburr on
Saturday last, and took rooms at the Blair
House, where he was soon after Joined by
his faithful young wife, the intention
being, 1t seems, TO proceed 10 Johnstown
on tho evening train. Mrs. Stopiell was
observed to be In a high state Of excite.
ment, and seemed to be suffering intense
mental agony. While her husband and
some friends were endeayoring TO soothe
and calm the lady, her brother, Mathiot
Reed, entered the room, and, drawing a
newly purchased revolver, seemed deter.
mined TO dispose Of the man who had
married his sister against his wishes aud
knowledge. Noticing the imminent peril
OF her husband Mrs. Stopicll threw her.
self between him and her brother, and
MIR. Reed was then disarmed by 4wo OF
the gentlemen who were present and
soon after left the hotel. This was the
ending Of what was believed
would be tragedy.
The saddest part OF the affair was the
result Of this additional excitement upon
Mrs. Stopfell. She had been, as stated,
suffering greatly when she went TO her
husband at the hotel, and the scene she
passed through there proved too much for
her, and she was SO prostrated that It was
lound necessary to put her to bed, where
she continued to grow worse until Sunday
morning, when hysterical coma inter.
Vened. 1t was the opinion Of the medical
gentlemen who held a consultation in re.
gard to her condition that there was but
little hope OF her recovery, and, even
should she survive, the probabilities were
hat she would lose her reason.
Mr.. Reeds love for his daughter over.
same his antipathy for his son-in.law, and
both Were in constant attendance at the
bedside OF the stricken lady until this
afternoon, when their worst fears were
and death divorced pair whose
brief season of Joy is TO be offset by a life

PAREER, Pa, August l6.-Tank No. &
boiled over at II o'clock to-day, and the
heat became SO intense that Tank No. 8,
containing $4,000 barrels of oil, twenty
rods OF, exploded, and fragments OF iron
were flying very freely in the air. At the
some time 800 barrels Of burning oil were
flowing fast toward Parker, aud the
flames and smoke were mountain
high. The fire created whirlwiud,
and, with the explosion, caused women
and children and plenty OF men to run
wild with excitement. The explosion also
broke half OF the glass windows in town,
and in many cases the plastering OF the
ceilings fell. Runaway horses were nu.
merops. The, fiery element reached the
Parker shore, but the current took it a iii.
tie below the town. The damage done
will be large, as most Of the stone.fronts
are entirely gone, Fragments OF tho ex-
ploded tanks were thrown TO the I.ogue
farm, 4miles distant. The residence Of SIr.
Dee was burned, and his family barely es.
capped with their lives Five thousand
strangers are in town to-day. Trains on
tho a. V. railroad are transferring passen.
gers with tho aid OF welkin boat. Tank
No.4 is burning slowly, and II 1t should
burn over there is not oil enough to do
any damage. No. 5, which commenced
burning at S:45, is still burning. The hill.
side opposite Parker looks very barren and
isolated, The danger is over. The women
and children that fled for safety are re.
turning. There have been over $4,000
barrels OF oil burned to-day. The Stand.

The fourth quarterly meeting OF the
Moundsyille charge Of the NJ. E. Church
is now in progress at the camp grounds,
the opening services having been hold in
the tabernacle yesterday evening. Elder
W. o. Wilson preached an interesting and
affecting sermon from the stand this
morning. The congregation was large,
though the weather was rather too cool
for comfort. The services should have
been held in the, tabernacle. More than
ono hundred persons partook OF the sacra-
ment OF the Lords Supper.
Revs. Warden, Rippey, Stone, Conner
and Lancaster assisted in the services.
In the afternoon the usual ioye.feast
services were held ut the tabernacle,
and many gave testimony in favorof the
reality OF the religion sthey profess. At
night Rev. W. E. Rlppey preached, but as
we were not permitted to be present, we
can give no account OF the sermon; but
We will risk saying that it was good, as all
his sermons are. This may be considered

and as the services throughout the entire
