A Wife Lost and Won.

George Bovard, says Pittsburgh journalist,
is the name of young Methodist minister who
attended the annual conference of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church at Mercer, Penn, a
couple of years ago. While there he and a
young lady teacher of the soldiers orphan
school, situated in Mercer, fell in love with
each other. Her name was Clara Shaffer. He
was about to start to India to Christianize the
heather. A correspondence was kept up be-
tween the two, and he wanted her to come to
him, be married, and assist him in his labors
He had no money to pay her expenses, tand she
had none. In this emergency, few months
age she made confident of "Dick" Wright,
q heavy clothing merchant of Mercer, and he
pulses, offered to supply her with what money
she needed to reach her far-off lover. She
gladly accepted his offer, and at once began
her preparations for the long journey. "Dick'
and Miss Shaffer were thrown much together
for while, and about the time she was ready
to start he was deeply in love with her him
self. But he said nothing. and she started for
New York with enough of Dicks money in
her pocket to take her to India. Two or three
days after her departure he grew Respondent.
and chided himself for having given away his
chanes for marrying Miss Shaffer himself. A
thought struck him, and that was to follow
her, and if possible overtake her before she
boarded steamer in New York for distant
India. He acted promptly on the thought,
took the cars, reached New York, and found
the vessel on which she was to sail. Miss
Shaffer was already on board he made known
his affection, asked her for her hand for him
self, was accepted, and the two returned to
Mercer a few days ago as man and wife. The
outcome is a little rough on the young minis,
ter, who is wrestling with superstition and
idolatry in the jungles of India.

spite of heroic defence by these troops the
Turcomans carried the Russian outworks and
also part OF the second parallel, capturing four
mountain guns and the three seige guns
The Russians then opened an artillery fire,
and the reserve simultaneously attacked the
enemy, who were dislodged from all the points
they had captured. All the artillery was re-
taken, with the exception of one mountain
gun, which had been carried off during the
loss was heavy. One company of an Apsherop
regiment alone had 81 men killed. including a
M Jor and captain, and ten wounded, and
one officer taken prisoner. The Turc oman
losses were much greater. Their dead flied
the russian trenches. Simultaneously with
this attack, considerable body of Turcoman
cavalry made a sortie on the Russian camp,
which was successfully repnlsed.
Alter the Turcomais were repulsed, orders
were given for laying third parallel. As
soon as the Turcomans saw the works COM
menced. they rene we'd the attack with their
entire strength upon the whole Russian front,
but were compelled to retire into fortress by
artillery fire at close range from the Russian
second parallel. The laying of the third par
allel was completed on the 10th inst, and on
the same day the fortress and strongly fortified
outworks were bombarded. At 3 o'clock in
the afternoon the Russian column made an as

Especial Dispatch to the Press.l
AUGUSTA, Jan. II.
The most important event today in the Leg
islature was the election of Hon. Eugene as
United States Senator. In the Senate every
member was present and voted. Maj. Smith,
who was the candidate of the fusionists, voted
for Gov. Plaisted. In the House there we're
few members absent. AS soon as Mr.. Hale
receives his certificate he will leave for WASH
ington. 1t is fact worthy of note that Mr..
Hale has not been inside the capitol since his
term expired in Congress in 1879.
There was large influx of petitions, which
will make plenty of work for the committees
Among the bills introduced was one to incor-
porate the Portland & Rochester R. r. Co.,
with capital of 100000. The incorporators
named are Geo. P. Wescott, Samuel E. Spring,
Stephen J. Young, Frederick Fox, Harrison
j. Libby, John A. Waterman, Nathan Webb
and VIM. L. Putnam. A charter is asked for
another cotton mill at Lewiston, with capital
of 81 100000. A change in the divorce law
and the repeal af the cider law is asked for.
Orders were passed providing for committees
apportioning the State for members of Con.
gress, Senators and Representatives to the
Legislature, and Executive Councillors. Mr.
Talbot, the fusion member from East Machas,
introduced order relating to special legisla-
ton. which was tabled. Preliminary steps
were taken for an investigation of the State
Library.
A meeting Of the delegates from the Second
Congressional District took place this evening
in one Of the parlors of Hotel North. The OBJ
ject of the meeting was to ascertain the views
of those present in relation to presenting Con-
gresham Frye as candidate for the Sena.
torial vacancy which will arise in case Senator
Blaine goes into the cabinet. The meeting
was presided over by Senator Bisbee of OK
ford. All the Senators of the I'd district, as
well as most of the Representatives, were
present The feeling expressed was unani-
mously in favor Of presenting Mr.. Frye as
candidate, and it was stated that so far as 1t
was ascertained Mr.. Frye would meet with no
opposition. 1t was also stated that DIR. Went
worth of Kittery had received a letter from
Senator Hamlin, in which that gentleman re-
marked that under no circumst ances would he
consent 10 have his name used in connection
with the short term.
1t is understood that all of Mr.. Hale's
friends are as unanimous in the support of Mr..
Frye as they were IN his support, and that Mr..
Frye will be nominated by accIamation.
Capt. Lynch of the Portland Montgomery
Guards will be Inspector General on the staff
of Gov. Plaisted.
John Polleys, of Barring, is in the city and
will contest the seat of Joel Foss, of Danforth,
who, on the face of the returns had majority
Of eight votes. Mr.. Polleys claims that mi
nors, paupers and aliens voted for Foss.
Several of the committees met and organized
this afternoon,
