TEEN-YEAR-OLD GIRL.
How Vermont Deacon Celebrated
Christmas.
Bristol "a Spectal. 27th.

Deacon Benjamin f. Sheldon, of the Ad-
vent Church, an old resident of this village,
sged about forty years, has eloped with
Miss Jennie Clark, aged seventeen, leaving
his wife and family Ia straitened circum.
stances. Deacon Sheldon was in the en-
piOY OF the Bristol Manufacturing Company,
engaged In the manufacture OF coffins. He
has for some time past expressed an inten-
tion to invest a small capital in the boot and
shoe business, and under this pretext he
recently induced his wife to sign mortgage
on their homestead, and he raised abotit
$1,000 by quietly disposing of most of his
available effects. Some three weeks ago
Sheldon's wife went to Brandon, Vt, some
fifty miles south of this village, oR visit to
relatives.
Meantime Deacon Sheldon had for his
housekeeper Miss Jennie Clark, an adopted
daughter Of his next-door neighbor, Samuel
Stewart. Miss Clark was member OF the
same church with Sheldon and pupil in
the Sabbath school class OF which Sheldon
was the teacher. On Friday last, on receiv
ing intelligence of the intended return OF
the wife from ner Brandon visit, the couple
took the morning train south with tickets
purchased for New York city, where they
are now supposed to be. The wife o. Shell
don is woman of prepossessing appearance,
while Miss Clark is said to be very plain
looking. Sheldon has heretofore borne an
unblemished reputation in this community,
and his co1duct has astonished his friends.
He had q pleasant home on one of the pri =
cipal stree s. He had managed to sell most
of his property, and leaves his wife and
children-two daughters aged nine and
eleven years respectively-in straitened
circumstances.

TROUBLES In LIBERIA.
Instructions TO Captain McCOr.
mack, of the Essex"

Washington Special to Nelo York Herald, 2sth
The troubles in Liberia are in the north
western part OF the republic, and are said to
have been fomented by traders, who object
to the customs dues at the port of entry,
and who have melted the natives against
the government authority. Secretary Hunt
has received a letter or thanks from the
officers of the American Coloniz alton So
ctety on his notifying them that the Essex
has been ordered to MOnrovla They speak
of Liberia as the child of American phiIan-
thropy, and refer to the excellent effect
caused by the visit of Captain Semmes in
the Alaska in 1876 The instructions to
Captain Mccormack, Of the Essex, are
similar to those given to Captain Semmes at
that time, under which he managed to Sc
cure treaty of peace which has lasted
until recently. The Essex will not remain
longer on the African coast than necessary,
and will afterWard proceed to her station in
the South Pacific. Her commander is eau
toned to take every preeaution to secure
the health of his crew.
That part of his instruc ions which re-
late to Liberia is as follows The Secretary

EADS' SHIP RAILROAD.
What Captain Williams, who Sur
veyed she Route AcrOss the 18TH
mus, Has to Say.
Ne,o orleans TY,aes- Den,ocrnt. a4tn

Yesterday a representative of the
Times Democrat had the pleasure OF
meeting Capt. ]. ]. Williams, the engi-
neer who surveyed the proposed route of
the Eads ship railroad across the Isthmus
of Tehuantepec.
Capt. Williams said: "The Isthmus of
Tehuantepec is divided into three divis-
ions, the Atlantic, Pacific and Middle,
starting on the Atlantic side. At the
mouth of the Costzacoalcos river there
is bar covered only by a depth of
fourteen feet of water, but this bar,
which is of clay and gravel, can be
easily removed; and that done, with
little dredging of the river in
places ships drawing thirty feet of water
can sail up the river a distance of thirty
miles to Ceiaba Bonita, where the ship
railroad route, as surveyed by me, will
begin. Striking southeast from here for
distance of about 484 miles, the road
reaches point near Playo, Grenade; it
then turns south and runs in that direc-
ton distance of 80 2-3 miles, until it
reaches point near Tras Picos, at the
junction of the Chichihula and Tarifa
rivers. Here it runs southwest for 191
" bAO AOdu buC L dCluC
plains, and from there the distance to the
Pacific lagoon is only III miles.
"The length of the road from deep
water to deep water will be 1854 miles.
Captain Eads estimates the cost at
$75, 900, 900 to 800, 900, 900, but that is
a rough estimate, as no complete survey
has yet been made. In my opinion, a
complete survey will reduce that esti-
mate very materially"
''What particular advantage will a
ship railroad, such as Captain Eads pro-
poses, have over ship canal such as De
Lesseps is at work on2"
"Well, sir, in the first place it can be
easier built, and in the second it can be
double tracked, if necessary, so that
ships can be run from ocean to ocean
without any delays, such as will occur on
a canal where one ship must wait for eS-
other to pass"
Captain Williams thinks that CAPTAIN
Eads' plan is feasible one, and that the
ship railroad will do ell the rork that is
expected of 1t. He also st es that if
the present ship railroad bill Introduced
in the Senate by Senator Vest, of Mis-
souri,, is passed, work will be com.
menced on the Isthmus within the next
three or four months. He will leave for
Mexico on the steamship City of Merida,
which sails tomorrow morning.
