MaNINeToS, W. Va, June 19.-Fhe sen
satioD of the hour in our usually quie
little inland village, is the elopement o.
two Of our most prominent' young society
folks. The party of the fist part is Mr.
James kl Coleman, of the firm of Coleman
& McMasters, humber deslers, q yoane
widower, whose wife has been dead some
months. The party Of the second part is
Miss Prime -Furbee, the beautiful and &C.
complished daughter of Hon. j. A. Furbee,
one of Mannington's most prosinent citi.
zens.
1t appears that some time subsequent to
the death Of his wife, Mr..
Coleman sought diversion from his
grief in the friendly associations Of Miss
Furbee. This continued for some time,
until growing interest in each other was
manifest on the part Of the young people
when the disappToval Of the parents and
friends of Miss Furbee was fully expressed.
Instead of cooling the srdor of the lovers,
this but famed the flame, until proposal
OF marriage was made and accepted.
Having carried things to this point, the
parental sanction to- the marriage was
sought by Mr.. Coleman, which was refused.
Concluding they could only live for and
with each other they took tram No. last
evening and went to Fairmont, where they
met train No. TO- on which they took
passage to Wheeling, thence to that Mecca
of lovers, West Alexander, Pa. where they
have ere this, no doubt, plighted their
troth anew and bound to be true to each
ether until death do them part.
So far IS public opinion has been ex.
pressed it seems to be with Mr.. Coleman,
whose course appears to have been straight
forward and manly, and against whom the
only objections urged has been an un.
warranted prejudice because he was a
widower. whose wife had been dead so short
a time

The WindeIa Investigation.

WASHINGTON, June 19-Dr. Rush, OF
Chicago, Secretary OF the National Distillers
and Liquor Dealers Association, testified
before the Window Committee, that his
Association had not raised or expended
dollar to influence the passage OF the bond
ed bill, and he knew of no corrupt influ-
ences in connection with it, or that any
Senator, member Of Congress or Journalist
had speculated in whisky in anticipation
of any legislation.
DR.. Brown, of Louisville, said he had
acted for the distillerS as attorney in for
mer years, but knew nothing whatever OF
the present bill and would have voted
against it if he had been a member of Con-
gress. He didn't think the Kentucky dis
tillerJwere as much interested in it or would
be as much affected by il as northern spec
ulators who own four-fifths of the whisky
now in bond. The committee adjourned
subject to a call. They have but one more
witness TO examine, s. Shield, of Kentucky.

PIrrsBURG, June 19.-The customary re-
portorial visit to the Amalgamated Associ-
ton rooms this morning, developed moth.
ing new in the iron mix. Secretary Martin
stated that he had just received copy OF
the agreement according to which the mill
at New Albany, Indiana, has resumed
work. By it the puddlers are to receive So
per ton for pudding, and the men in the
pudding department are paid 10 per cent.
above the rate demanded in this district.
Mr.. Martin expects that the Bay View
mill will start up tomorrow. He was un-
able to say what would probably be the
terms upon which the troubles in that
place would be adjusted but it was infer
red that it would be similar 10 the Cincin'
natl settlement
Matters being decidedly dull since the
excitement OF the parade has passed. vari.
Gus rumors were abroad to-day in lieu OF
more tangible matters. Among firms
ready to sign and start up were reported
Eyerson, Macrum Il Co., Moorhead and
Oliver Bros. & Phillips. Mr.. Brown, OF the
first named firm, emphatically denied thej
rumor; Mr.. Bebout. in the office of the
second, remarked that the rumOr was news
to him, but in the absence OF members OF
the firm he would not be absolutely posi-
tive but thought he was safe in denying the
story. AS regards Oliver Bros. Il Phillips
Fifteenth street mill, the reporter was met
by a workman of this establishment this
morning, and was informed that the mill
would start next week. The firm, he said,
had received large order for wire, and
were going to sign the scale. One OF the
members of the firm was seen shortly after
this conversation took place, and asked il
there was any foqndati99n for the EumoEs
going to be signed here, have heard moth,
ing about il yet. 1t is not probable that
we would sign the scale and start one mill
and allow our other two to remain idle
As things look to me now, it will be some
time before the mills will start.

that the Bayyiew. Wis, hon Company had
signed a compromise scale, subject to the
one to rule here.
