The Georgetown Elopement Case.

WHAT IS SAID BY THE FRIENDS OF THE PARTIES
In regard to the Boyle-Hurdle elopement,
friends of the parties make the following state
ments: Mr.. Boyle, on the 22d day of June last
went to Baltimore, and three days later Miss
Hurdle left her home in Georgetown. Up to the
day of her departure she was on terms of inti-
macy with Mrs. Boyle, who is described by those
who know her as g a nice little woman" asking
her when she had heard from her husband, when
he would be back. etc. After Miss Hurdle left.
Mrs. Boyle had her suspicious aroused by several
persons who had become aware of great de-
gree Of intimacy between her husband and her
friend, which had been matter of common report
for some time. After Miss Hurdles marriage to
nmitn was announced in the papers here, she
came nome, it is said, and invited her mother
and sisters and Mrs. Boyle to accompany her to
baltimore to see her husband, Harry Smith" !"
Hndlng that Mrs. Boyle was preparing to go with
her, MISS hurdle departed without waiting for
Mrs. Boyles suspicious, and she de-
termned to go to Baltimore, and did

EXTRA!
THE NATIONS PATIENT.
SLIGHT RELAPSE This MORNING.
THE PRESIDENT HAS A CHILL.
HIS PULSE RUNS UP TO 100.
HE Is NOW IMPROVING AGAIN.

The President did not get along so comforta-
bly, last night. The fever which appeared be-
tween eight and ten o'clock, though it sub
sided later in the evening, prevented him from
sleeping at all well. He was restless as feverish
people are. Although there was moth
ing at all serious in the fact
of the reappearance of fever it was in a
measure disappointing, as he has been getting
along so nicely for the past few days. This
morning he got to sleep, and the official bulletin
OF the physicians was delayed on that account.
The physicians did not wish to dist urb him to
make the morning examination. They wanted
him to get all the recuperative sleep possible.
There was no fever at all early this morning.
CIRCULAR TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CABINET.
The following was sent this morning to each
of the Cabinet officers by the Presidents private
secretary:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, July 90. am-The
Slight fever which made its appearance between
and 10 last evening. but which subsidized during
the night. is not noticeable this morning. This
febrile rise was due to local and temporary
causes rather than to any general unfavOrable
change in the Presidents condition. He is as
well now as at the same hour yesterday morn
ing, and this. taken into consideration with the
fact that he did not sleep so well as on the pre-
vious night, seems to indicate gain in his
favor.

,GladStone and His Wards

That Mr.. Gladstone, who is the shining
front of English liberalism, is doing more
Tor Ireland than any of her mythic heroes
and kings, or her orators and agitators that
appear on the pages of authentic history, is
frankly, and, we think, gladly acknowledged
by discreet and sound-headed Irish -Ameri-
cans. The work he is doing for the adj
vancement of the material condition of all
the subjects of the British empire, and es-
pecially OF the nation which earliest came
under its sway and has suffered most bitter
~ from its domination, is recognized and
appreciated if the discussion at the Port
land branch Of the Land League Monday
evening can be taken in evidence.
At that meeting Mr.. Charles Mccarthy
promptly and emphatically, in the face of
ill-advised opposition, avowed his faith in
Mr.. Gladstone as the one Englishman who,
in this last half century, has attempted a
practical measure for the relief of poverty
and misgovernment and oppression in Ire
land. Mr.. Mccarthy dreams of Irish indie
pendence, and that his dream comes
through the ivory gate is the ardent hope Of
every Irishman. But, while longing for that
event, he does not reject the great and i'm
mediate relief afforded by the broad and gen
erous measures that the English premier
has brought to the attention of Parliament.
He recognizes the embarrasm ent under
which the liberal leader works, the preju-
dices he has to meet, the mighty obstacles
he has to overcome; and he does not ask
overmuch of a statesman who, while seek
ing the improvement of Ireland, is fretted
and stayed in his course by national animos-
ity, by the mighty force of long-vested privi-
leges, and by the animosity of two races
that for centuries have been at variance and
frequently at war. The view he takes of the
situation must be, it seems to US, that of
every wise friend of Ireland. Patriotic
Irishmen should hold up Mr.. Gladstone's
hands. He is the only Englishman, who is
both capable and willing to help them, who
offers relief to their country and can make
his promise good. To the independence of
Ireland he will, of course, never consent.
He is too true an Englishman for that. But
he does offer to the sullen and discontented
and oppressed island immediate and very
considerable relief. He does afford oppor-
tunity for peasant proprietorship-an oppor-
tunity that Irishmen here and at home who
comprehend the extent of the suffering un-
dergone by Irish tenants ought to eagerly
welcome. Irish independence may or may
not be practicable. Irish comfort, and lib
erty to work the land and harvest and mar
ket its crops are within the reach of Irish
men. The wise of them will back Mr.. Glad
stone instead of ranging themselves behind
the landlords who sit in the upper house Of
the British Parliament.

There was qaite an excitement in
our village one day last week, by the
passage through it of the celebrated
traction engine. Itafforded us much
pleasure to see some citizens who had
never been known to move ON quick
time, fastening to get one glance at
this wonder of the age.
Divine services were held in the
Protestant Episcopal Church, on
Sunday last, morning and evening,
the Rev. Mr.. Hammond officiating.
This gentleman has been recently
called here, and we learn, gives gen.
eral satisfaction.
There has been considerable sick
ness in our midst the past few weeks,
among others, Mrs. p. j. Mussetter,
Miss Sallie Lingamfelter and others.
We trust they all may soon be re-
stored to health.
Mr.. Sperow, while on a visit to
some of his friends in this place, on
Saturday night last, was so unfortu-
nate as to have his horse break loose
and run at rapid gate, with buggy
attached; but are glad to say the
damage to the vehicle was slight.
The young gentlemen Of leisure,
resident in our village, owing to a
scarcity of game, have instituted a
very lucl alive business in shooting
snakes, which they skin, and sell the
hides as a sure preventive Of rheu-
matism if worn about the neck.
Verify, we have some enterprise left
among us.
Mr.. Charles Beall, formerly of this
place, but now of Vanclevesville, is
here visiting his brother, and look
ing to other interests of vital impor-
tance-so rumor declares.
DR.. f. d. Mitchell, of Baltimore
county, Md, paid a flying visit to
his son in this place, and asserts as
his belief, that the atmosphere here
can almost convert old age into
youth again. We are glad to have
strangers see our many attractions.
The reported convalescence of
President Garfield has removed much
of the gloom and dependency from
the residents of our community, and
everything is beginning to assume an
air of cheerfulness and contentment.
