Abducted by her Broth ers.s

From the Fergus Falls Advocate.
"The story of true love never runs
smooth" and We are compelled to
chronicle an event that proves the old
proverb to BIZ true. On Sunday last
George Haynes, Of Campbell, and Miss
Nancy A. Cross were united in the holy
bonds OF matrimony by Justice Boards
ley, of St. Olaf-a runaway wedding.
The bride has been residing at Camp
bell with her brothers, her parents liv-
ing in Wisconsin. The "big brothers
did not approve of the marriage-in
fact they were mad-mad all overland
followed on the track of the bride and
groom with "blood in their eye" On
Tuesday they discovered the young
couple at Bells Hotel, and George, the
bridegroom, afraid of their threats of
shooting him, kept close in his bridal
room.
On Wednesday parlev was com
menced. and, under the thin guise of
the bride going to Wisconsin to visit
her parents, the big brothers abducted
her from the bed and board of George,
who is now "grass widower''-and
just what he is going to do about it
remains to be seen. Nevertheless, the
proceedings and threats of the brothers
would seem to be gross outrage.

season, having opened retail store of
his own in Wilmington, he will offer

Terrible Crime of q German.

A German carpet weaver named Eu
gene Walse, who had been lodging over
the bakery at 1919 Race street, Phla-
delphia, has been arrested by the po
lice for the commission of a grave and
revolving crime. 1t appears that on
Tuesday night he enticed child eight
years OF age, named Viola Savoy, who
lives on Juniper street, above Race,
into his bed room, and there committed
felonious assault upon her. The
screams of the child aroused the neigh
bors, but the villain managed to elude
capture for several hours. When he
was arraigned at the statIon-house for
examination, the father of the child
approached the prisoner and dealt him
blow on the head with pair of ice
tongs. Had the police not interfered.
the enraged parent would have killed
the miscreant. At it was, he was dam.
aged to no small degree, and bad to be
removed to the hospital. The evidence
against him is strong, as the condi-
tion of the child is pitiable.

ing House during the past eighteen
months, has left that position and re-
sumed his former occupation, the hat
trade, by associating himself with Mr..
Sheppey Gas successor to J. V. Sheppey)
under the firm name of Sheppey, Pal
mer & Co., Wholesale and retail hat
dealers, at the popular hat stand No.
503 Market street, opposite the Clayton
House. Mr.. Palmer is young man of
ability, and his gentlemanly demeanor
since he has been one of our citizens,
has won for him large circle of young
friends, and the fact of his being as
sociated with Mr.. Sheppey, who is one
of Wilmington's most enterprising bust
ness men gives double assurance that
the new firm will meet with success.
Mr.. sheppey is assured of continuance
of the libera! patronage given him in
the past, while Mr.. Palmer invites all
of his friends to call and see him, and
both give assurance that the same cour-
tesy ard square dealing will be con-
tinued, which alone guarantees pros

Some $50 of the children Of Calvary
Sunday School and their friends, as.
ssmbled at the P. w. 4 B. r. X. depot
yesterday morning to take the 7.2O
train for Glsnolden, near which place
they purposed having their annual
picnic.
Arriving a: the depot our reporter
after wedging his way through hill
arious crowd of colored folks bound for
Chester Heights, reached the train aud
after a.ysll, toot, and jerk, the hap
py throng we're soon lying toward their
destination making no stoppages ou the
way.
Glenoldsn Grove is one OF the most
complete and attractive resorts possi-
BILE TO imagine. 1t is situated about
hundred yards to the right Of the
station and consists of a beautiful grove
Of about 40 acres, bounded on one
side by lake, which is used for boat
ing by the sxcursionists, excellent
water in convenient pumps, an exten-
sive dancing pavilion two permanent
refreshment stands, flying horses, six
self acting swings, six rope swings and
a base ball ground, shooting gallery
and ferrotype gallery. The children
soon made themselves at home and
entered at once into full enjoyment of
the day, in which they we're encour-
aged by the presence and aid OF their
beloved Pastor Rev. w. Il. Ware, the
Sunday School Supt. John Taylor Esq,
and their CO. workers. Archery, GRO
quet and QUOT pitching we're engaged
in by the older hands.
Provisions were in abundance and
everyone made welcome. Shortly be-
fore the time for leaving the pastor
called all to the large pavilion where
several beautiful hymns were sung and
after q unanimous vote that the day had
been one Of unalloyed enjoyment, Rev.
Mr.. Ware pronounced the benediction,
and all repaired to the station and were
soon landed by a passing train at the
depot again.
Owing to the excellent management
and previous arrangements by those in
charge, the excursion was, as a whole,
. complete success. No accident OF any
kind occurred, and, what is extraordi
nary, We heard only expressions of the
fullest enjoyment by all without one
voice. This Sunday school
Is one Of tho most flourishing in the
city, which is owing largely to the in

A special dispatch to the New York

the President will do nothing in the
matter of selecting new Minister to
England until after his vacation and
when the subject can be discussed with
his entire Cabinet around him. At
present there are only three of the
Cabinet in Washington-namely Sec.
retaries Everts, McCrary and Thomp-
son. Before all tho members are here

Among other Mont;nians conspicuous

Among other Montanians conspicuous in
stock-grOwiny. MIR. Charles Anceney, Of
Gallatin county. holds Il prominent place.
Especially is this his ease as regards breed
ing fine strains OF blooded cattle. His
herd is to-day one of the most noted in the
Territory, and every year he makes addi-
tiOnal sflOwings of some of the best grades
Of short horns anywhere produced. MIR.
Anceney's sales are each season quite con-
siderable. and from his importatiOns and
herd increase. are procured animals that
have greatly improved the cattle exhibit in
Lewis and Clarke AMI other neighboring
counties. Recently. we learn. Mr.. Anceney
sold Messrs. Sanis Bros. Il Taylor. OF
Helena. thirty head of high graded short
horn yearling bulls. many of them as much
as seven-eighths blood. The price obtain
ed. we understand, was about $40 a head.
MIR. Anceney has for this year a further
offering of two thoroughbred bulls. Twin
Duke and Mountain Chief" said to be
desirable animals. He parts with these
only for the purpose of bringing in new
strains for his own herd. which. to be kept
up to the high order already reached. re-
quires change of blood. Parties desiring
choice animals of this kind should COM
