A SENSATION.

From the Paducah News OF Tuesday, We
copy the following
'In last evenings issue We made slight
mention Of mother and the cousin Of a
young girl, who had been connected with
one Of the variety shows Of the place, hav.
ing followed her here and by force taken
her away, to be returned to the home il
seems she in foolish hour ran away from.
The girls name SIS Blanche Mitchell, and
she was not only pretty woman but one
who is said 10 be well educated. Why she
left home it has not appeared; bur. as
stated, she came here several week since
from CAIRO. She told her friends she was
from Illinois, but nothing farther and none
seem to desire to know more. Saturday
night her mother and cousin came here and
registered at the Richmond house as Mrs.
II. L. Chapman and w. +. Hoffman, Of ST.
Louis, ami were not slow in telling the
gentemanly Mr.. Charles Reed, of the Rich
mond house, their mission. An interview
between them and the girl was arranged,
but what passed is not known; but it is not
likely she consented to return home, as she
told male acquaintance to come to the
depot Monday as sheexpected to have some
trouble there. She did 20 with
her cousin and mother to the depot,
probably through some deception Of theirs,
and when the train was about ready TO start
attempted to get off. Her cousin attempted
to prevent this and scene was the result.
The people upon the cars soon learned the
nature OF the trouble, and being affected by
the pititul appeals Of the mother, the
threats of the cousin, &c, lead them to aid
in keeping her aboard, and during this
time the Cur moved off. The scene is sad
TO have been most affecting one, as re-.
ported by number OF gentlemen who wit
messed it. There is mystery and doubt.
less sad story behind the whole matter,
but upon this let US draw the veil. II is a
sad thing to think Of in any form. We
stated yesterday the girl was from
Ohio, and there is hardly doubt Of this
fact, as, notwithstanding her mother and
cousin registered from st. Louis, it was I'M
derstood through the girl that they were
from about Portsmouth, Ohio"
We called on Mr.. Harry Walker last
night to learn such particulars concerning
the girl as would'be Of interest to our read.

the information desired. He kept stand

the impossbility of crossing the chain with
loaded barge The fact is that the stone
contractors failure to supply the rock is not
due TO the shallowness OF the river at the
chain; for the water is sufficiently high to
permit the passage of heavily laden boats
and barges, but the reason why the stone
has not been delivered Is that the bargcs
on which il was loaded capsized
and sunk. The city council, recog-
nizing these TO be the facts, on last Tues
day night, unanimously decided to hold Mr.,
Nellis legally responsible for the faithful
fufilment of the demands Of his con-
tract and he and the News must not attempt
to mislead the people by further fallacious
argument.

SION The reason she gave for desiring 10
eave home was that she was being mis-.
treated By her step-mother with whom she
was living. In the answer which Mr.
Walker wrote he asked her whether she
knew the nature Of variety theatre.
She replied that she did that there were
several variety theatres in the city in which
she resided, and she was fully conscious Of
what she was doing, Her letters were
written in plain hands gave evidence Of
