rived in II his city tiOnl South Carolina

age had robbed his father and then de-
camped 1t seems that family with
whom the hoy was intimate lately re.

bv the father aScrrtained last evening
that they were living over Eleventh
street bridge Upon their going to the
house last evening the inmates freely
admitted that the boy was visiting
them, but said that he was now out hav-
ing gone over in town. The father and
officer waited until the runaway came
which was about II o'clock.
He was very much affected when he
saw his father, and confessed his fault
with tears streaming down his face
The father brought him over to the City
Hall, where he had him locked up as IA
precautionary measure. as he does not
intend TO prosecute him, but will take
the boy home to-day. The father was
very indignant this morning when be

and pronounced IL false. He admits
tina, the boy did steal some money, but
nothing like that amount, and says that
he is not a bad boy, but has probabl y

Porter Mcclellan.

Cath" In his New York dispatch
to the Enquirer, gives an intervie"
with Major General Alfred PleaSantOh,
in which the latter is represented
as saying: "Porter ruined Mcclellan
by his conduct at Antirtam, where |
commanded all the calvary. He lay
back, and did not fight his powerful
corps. After that battle the corps
commanders held a meeting and nntl-
fed General Mcclellan that they
would not give up their recomenda-
tons any more if he was guided by
Fitz John Porter 50 much. Mcclellan
took II in consideration and finally
replied that he would not lei Porter go.
He acted on Porter advice to break
the cavalry into two branches, giving

The American Association Of Win
dow glass Manufacturers assembled III
Washington, ID. G., on Wednesday
morning for their regular semi'annuaI
meeting. Il. l.. Boiine, Of the C0han'
sey Glass Manufacturing Company
IF Philadelphia, president Of the asSoci-
alton, called the meeting 10 order, (. X.
Wood OF Philadelphia, being secretary.
The principal agreement was not to
make any glass during July or August
next. Toe product Of the past year
has been large amounting to nearly
$3.50, 900 box 5, valued at about 81, O00,-
900. The consumptive demand, how
ever, has taken it all, and it Is thought
that the opening of the spring trade
will Justify an advance in prices,
which are now very low. They have
d. clined more than forty per cent.
since the beginning of 1880. Appre-
hension of overproduction and the high
rates of labor have greatly restricted
profits on the past years work.

An Angry German.

Frederick Schmidt the proprietor of
a beer saloon at Fourth and LON bard
streets was before the Mayor last even
ing, charged with committing an as
sault and battery upon boy named
Edwin Gibbons. 1t was shown that
Gibbons and another boy, were teasing
Johnny Fisher,a weak minded lad, who
was on hi1 way to Schmidls saloon To
get some beer, and the boys followed
him up to the saloon door when Schmidt
who hal been watching them through
a window, stepped out and caught hold
of Gibbons by the neck, shaking him in
such rough manner that he tore of his
collar and neCktie. There were several
witnesses who were present who corro-
borated the boy statement.
SChmit made statement, and said
that the boys annoyed him very much,
but denied using the complainant in a
rough manner. The Mayor adjudged
h IN guilty, and sentenced him to pay a
tine OF S3 and costs, which 1T first he
declared he would not do, bat changed
his mind when he found that he either
had 10 pay or be locked up. He how
ever demanded record of the proceed
ines which he says he intends to take TO

Marrying twice within NV enty five
Minutes.

In the matter of marrying young wo-
man of Sereca county, Ohio, plainly
appropriates the cake. Her maiden
name was Melissa j. Rems5arg, but
whether it now is Mrs. Chauncey l..
Wyant or Mrs. Wesley NJ. Kline, or
both, the future must disclose. AS the
story is chronicled, Miss Remsourg told
Mr.. Wyant that she would meet and
marry him in Tifl1n, fifteen miles from
Inr fathers house, at ; O'Clock in the
afternoon of Monday succeeding Christ
ma She also told Mr.. Kline that she
would see him and wed him in Ttfin at
3 80 o'clock ON the same day. She kept
both promises, for she became the wife
of WANT at one end Of the town, and
married Kline at the other end, twenty
four minutes elapsing between the per
formance OF the ceremonies. lmme-
iiately after the first wedding the bride
had excused herself, " to run down the
street TO see friend" and thus it came
about that she had time to marry Mr..
X line and take q westward bound train
before Mt Wyant suspected treaclery.
As to the purpose of the woman every
body seems to he in the dark.

LAURA McGRATH HEARD FROM.
She II Met by Her Brother In Com.
pany With her LOver-A street
Fight over the Girl.

The Philadelphia Record, of this
morning contains the following stale
ment, which will be of interest to the
readers of the REPUBLICAS;
Laura McGrath, of LAG Fawn ST.
II year-od miss who was the princi-
pal figure in a discreditable escapade
IN Wilmington, Del, few months
since, was recently the cause ola blood
less battle, resulting in criminal pros.
ecution, between her brother and her
lover. For some time past she has
been keeping company with David
Wright, a young man living near her
home, against the wishes Of her family,
On Wednesday she left home under
pretensa of visiting friend, but not
returning by evening her brother start
ed in search of her. Soon after he met
her in company with Wright, leaving
house OF questionable character at
Eighth and Thompson streets She re-
| fused 10 accompany her brother home,
and when he attempted to take her
from Wright the latter interfered, and
blows were freely exchanged betwee
| til, two.
A crowd soon gathered about the
| com batants, but a policeman appeared
| upon the scene, and the party was taken
10 the hall AZ Tenth aud Thon pson
streets. There young McGrath prefer.
| red a charge Of abduction against
| Wright, who was held in bail over
night Yesterday morning the use
was dismissed. however, when brought
before Magistrate Severn, as the young
| lady ls too Old to abduct The young
men were about to prefer charges Of rs
sault and battery against each other,
| but it being Uncertain who struck the
| first blow they dropped the matter.
1t will be remembered that Laura
was brought to this city last summer
by young man and remained here tor
quite awhile. Before she left, however,
she lad warrants issued for several OF
Wilmington young men, for commit,
ting an indecent ass ,ult upon her.
They were captured and lodged in
Jail. After their capture, Laura, who
had returned to Philadelphia, was sum
moued TO appear against them, but she
| never made her appearance and the
prisoners were discharged The o.
CurrenCe created quite an excitement in
newspaper circles Tor Il time, many
thinking that the girl had been terribly
srouged, while others thought that il
was put up job to get the men in trou-
hIe for the purpose Of extorting money
from them. Finding that public sen.
liment was fast goin against her, after
she had the men arrested, she thought
it wise to keep clear Of Wilmington, and
accordingly the matter was dropped.
From the above, it Will be seen that
Laura is not the virtupusg girl that many
believed her to be- when she came to
this city.

The passengers on the train from the
Yellowstone, recently, mad an ex
perience exceedingly lare. When about
two miles from Sentinel Butte, the d.
viding line between Montana and Da-
kota. a herd of sixteen buffalo was seen
a short di lance ahead within easy rifle
range. There were several soldiers on
board with army rifles and hume rons
small revolvers were also pointed TO
ward the excited bison A perfect vol
lev of lead was poured into the herd,
but to no effect. They bounded away
over the divide and were soon lost to
sight The passengers had no sooner
begun the discussion of what they had
seen in wears gone by when danger
gnal from the locomotive brought
everyone to the lookout. p herd OF
twenty or thirty buffalo were making
lirectlv for the train, and fearing the
engine would strike them and be thrown
from the track, the air-brakes were set
and the train brought to a StandstliI,
while the buffalo crossed the track a
few feet ahead. Every gun was again
leyellfd. Such excitement cannot be
described. Bullets flew in every dlrec-
ton, some striking the ground as near
a. ten feet of the train, others raising
the dust a mile distant. The train
moved on slowly and the voley of lead
continued to pour from the guns of the
excited passengers. Finally the smoke
cleared away and the buffalo could De
seen about halfa mile away, trottng
along'as unconcernedly as though they
had never seen railroad tram. Inc
disguised passengers drew in Their
weapons and spent the rest Of day ar
guing as to the probable amount OF lead
that buffalo will carry before he will
weaken. Pictures of railroad trains
passing through herds of buffalo are
numerous, but the actual experience IN
one of which the passengers may feel
proud.

OBITUARY.

NOTWITHSTANDING on the afternoon of
december 3lst, Miss Nancy Young, in her
S0th year.
She was born in Wilmington, Del,
in 1902, aud during her long and usetn
life endeared herself to large circle of
friends and relatives. Her many deeds
Of kindness, usefulness and love will
long be remembered by them. Her
death was a great shock to them all,
knowing that they have lost a dear and
valued friend, one who was always
with us, in trouble or In jog, and feel
ing that her place can never be filed.
But our loss is her gain, and we must
submit to our Heavenly Fathers will,
hard though it may be.
And oh how thankful we should be
to know that she did not linger to suffer,
but that her death was easy. And yet,
though our hearts be sorely troubled,
permit us to say that she has
GONE TO HER REST
Her busy hands are folded,
Her work on ear N Is done,
Her trials all are ended,
Her heavenly crown Is won.
Unon her brow so peaceful
No ear hly shadow rests,
For anxious cares reach never
The mansions Of the blest.
Within the home she frightened,
Her quiet course is run,
A life ofpure unselishness,
A womans work well done
The sad and lonely household
W i'll miss her guiding hand,
The sister, loving cling ing,
Without her aid must stand.
The children, Auntie's counsel
VIII seek ON earth no more.
No more her hands will lead them,
Save on the Heavenly Shore.
There on the shore eternal,
Her spirit reckoning stands,
Still guiding on her loved ones
70 Join the Heavenly band.
