REVEREND RUBLE.
Tempted by Satan, He Fell From
Grace, and Took with Him the
Fairest Flower of all the Field.
snncl,l to Cincinnati Ennnirnr.l


Special to Cincinnati Enquirer.l
WEST NEWTON, PENN, October
2.-The old blue bloOded families OF
this place are all torn up in conse-
quence of the backsliding of Rev.
Jacob Ruble, pastor Of the Zwickly
Presbyterian Church, one ofthe oldest
places ofworship in Western Pennsyl-
vania. Rev. Mr.. Ruble is a married
man, but three years ago his wife be-
came insane and was sent to an asylum.
He has been looked upon until yester-
day as a most devout and jealous
follower of our Lord; but the Rev.
Ruble has been dealing crooked.
Miss Mary Markle, aged twenty years,
the daughter Of one Of the Oldest and
wealthiest families in Westmereland
county, and a girl of voluptuous form,
with the physical charms in the high
est degree of perfection, her violet
eyes and sunny hair causing her to be
known all over the two counties as a
belle Of the first water, gave birth to a
child. A terrible scene occurred at
the family household when she an
mounted that its father was the Rev.
Jacob Ruble. The condition Of the
erring girl had NOT been suspected until
concealment was no longer possible,
aud even after the shameful denounce-
ment came, the family and their i'm
mediate friends so efectually con-
cesled the painful facts that not until
Friday did the matter become public.
The scandal spread all over the town
and neighborhood, and the Red Stone
Presbytery, Of which Rev. Ruble was
a member, decided on taking prompt
measures, and held a meeting to-day.
Rev. Ruble at FIRST denied that he was
the father Of the child, but finally
made a full confession. Among other
things he said: "0ne day in the
latter Part of last March Miss Markle
came into my roem unattended and
made advances to me, and, although
| was sorsly tempted by the devil, | at
first resisted aud begged this girl to
leave me, but she would not do so. and,
persisting in her attentions, | fell
from grace" The Presbytery there
fore bsnished Rev. Ruble forever
from the enjoyment Of ministerial
rights Ia conseseqaenee of the high
social standing OF both parties the
story Of their Immortality has crested
: CREST sensation. and much sympathy
for tie family thus brought to shame.

Brace up yourself, and give us Z chap

the Water Works question just as il
presented itself. and in the light Of
such facts as seemed to be uncontro-
verted. There are two sides to nearly
all subjects. The Water Company
and its apologists claim that Wolf
river water is good enough. We do
not believe it, and never conceded it.
But "if" VIC are wrong, and Wolf

NATIONAL HATE.
BAD Blood Between Our French
and German VisItOrs-COntin-
uesl Inc xcusabie laundering Of
the American Committees.

A Richmond special to the Cincin-
natl Enquirer says:
The existence Of bad feeling be-
tween the French and German guests
Of the nation, which came to light
when the party arrived in yorktown,
and which it was thought the pacif-
catory dinner, given by General Han
cock, had healed, was to-day brought
to light again in a very novel way.
When tho French and Germans
arrived in the city this morning the
committee on reception on the part Of
the city we're tsrGy in reaching the
steamer, and to amuse themselves the
French began TO throw silver quarters
to some negroes who we're lounging on
the bank. The negroes jumped
eagerly after the money. Then a gen
erous member of the French delega-
ton dropped some money in the
water, and the negroes jumped in the
river after that. Then the fun on the
part of the French began in good
earnest, and they rained silver quarters
in the water. Soon a score Of negro
men, women and children we're houn-
dering about in the river and diving
to the bottom after more.
The Germans then joined in the
pastime, and wed with the French
throwing money to the pier. A Ger
man threw a dollar gold piece. Then
the Frenchmen, not to be outdone,
threw a gold quarter eagle. Each side
then endeavored to Guido the other in
generosity. Their silver and small
gold pieces being expended, green
backs wore used. The crowd Of
negroes meantime increased, until a
very lively scene was presented. The
French and Germans gesticulated
wildly, growing more and more ex.
cited, and showed more and more
feeling in their efforts TO Guido the
| other. 1t is difficult to estimate how
much money would have been ex-
pended in this way had not the Com
mittoo on Reception arrived, and the
parties got in the hacks. They, how
ever, have kept severely apart all
day.
The laundering of the city authori.
ties who had charge of the decorations
here in honor of the visitors was most
d~isgraceful. In putting up the differ.
emit arches over the streets they erected
a French arch, but neglected to put
up a German one. Day before yes
terday the Germans Of Richmond,
having heard Of the row at Yorktown,
took sides with their c~ountrymen,
went fully to work, and Ina completed
the finest arch in the city over Broad
street, which was a purely German
structure. So the matter stands now.
1t is evident that no good feeling
exists between the visiting delegations.
The cause is that the name Of Won
Steuben does not appear half as often
as that Of Lafayette and Rochambeau
and vive la France in the decorations
