supposed that lump of soft coal,

than that Of fuel. It was next

AWFUL ANNIE.
Marriage Of a Wealthy White Girl TO an Ig.
norant Negro Goal Miner.

The town of Beaver, which has
turned out more oflice-holders to
the square inch under Republican
administration than any other
point upon Gods footstool, has
quite q sensation. A young girl,
possessed Of many personal charms,
belonging to one OF the best fami-
lies In this part OF the State. reared
In luxury and finely educated, left

mood aud married an ignorant
negro coal miner.
Annie Moore Is the only dsugh-

occupy positions Of public esteem,
two Of them being talented mem.
bers Of the Beaver county bar, and
one an accomplished Phila-
delphia physician. The fami-
ly is highly connected. She
has been q wsyward, thoughtless
child for years, wringing with an
guish the hearts of her parents by
her unreasonable conduct. Argu-
ment and entreaty were alike in
vain. Her evil course continued.
She had been absent from home
several days this week, and 1t Is

months ago she became the mother

NEGRO JUSTICE.
The Story Of Remarkable Case Near
Alexandria, Va.

Alexandr1ay va.
From the Alexandria Gazette.1
A well-dressed stranger came into
the County Clerks Office yester-
day. He had on a glossy black
beaver, standing collar, diamond
pin and a new suit Of Scotch tweed.
Being invited to sit down and
state his business, he first brushed
the seat of chair carefully with
his handkerchief, and sitting down
languidIy told his tale:
III and another friend, sojourning
for a time in Washington City,
tempted by the beautiful weather,
on last Sunday afternoon walked
across the Long Bridge. No sooner
were We on the Virginia side and
on the public highway than six or
seven negro constables sprung out
from an ambush and arrested us.
What for?" / asked.
" For breaking the laws on San.
day. they cried.
" Breaking the laws on Sundayp
/ replied, astonished; 'What laws?
1 haven't trespassed on anybody's
property, have /? Neither me nor
my friend here have done a thing.
What do you arrest us for?'
+" 'YOu's been done breakin' the
county laws said the leader of the
gang-a great big black buck me-
gro, with a club in his hand and a
Colts revolver hanging to his
waist. 'You's been a breakin' the
laws, and we's goin' to carry you
before the Squire. Dsm's our or.
ders, anyway
" OATS so,' chorused the rest of
the black devils.
"Well, we were carried like two
felons up the turnpike, with the
guards before, behind and on each
side of us. After going about q
half mile we turned up another
road that ran at right angles, and
went about another mile to col
lection of dilapidated shanties, be-
fore one OF which our gang halted,
and, knocking at the door, entered.
We found a darkey lying crosswa avs
on a bed, as drunk as a billed owl.
With a good deal Of pushing and
pulling, he was brought to a sit
ting position, and a feeble light OF
intelligence dawned in his piggish
eyes. 1--WE were fcrmally intre-
duced by the constables in these
words:
"We's brung desc men here,
Squire Pendleton, for a breaking oi

equilibrium, but couldn't, SO lie

his wife, who came In, and the JUS

two dollars.
"What for?' said.
"'You broke the law and the law
says you must pay it,
"Well. what could we dor go we
paid the fine, and before we were
discharged the constables divided
out the money between them, and
one pulling out an old package Of
greasy cards, they got handful OF
