HER LOVE NEVER DIED.
How an Ohio Girl Remained Tru to
Lover Who Wore Prison Stripes

How an Ohio Girl Remained Tru e to
a Lover Who Wore Prison Stripes.
sabina Letter in the Cincinnati Gazette.
Two miles to the west and in sight of
this village lies the little hamlet of Rees-
vile, Ohio, with its one street and half
dozenalleys. Inthe spring of 1876 a fine
looking young man of athletic form and
of about "a years of age arrived there
from Pittsburg and engaged work with
cousin. After while revival broke
out in the village church. He attended
the services. was converted and became
'one of the brethren" Another mem
Der of this church was modest girl of
eighteen summers, beautiful brunette,
who is the daughter ofthe village miller.
The young man and maiden fell in love,
and loves course ran smoothly until the
last Sunday of the following July. On
that beautiful summer morning the
young man escorted the black-eyed
damsel up the one long street to the
church, thence back to the starting
point, leaving his intended with a prom
ise that they should enjoy in the evening
one of those delightful pastimes to coun-
try lovers-a buggy ride.
Before the evening two men had sud-
denly appeare to the young man as he
sat in his employers door and invited
him to take a buggy ride with them.
One of these was the Sheriff of this coun-
ty and the other a similar Official from
a poor orphan girl in his native heath
had strong claims upon him. The Off
Gals housed their prisoner in the coun-
ty Jail until requisition could be OBJ
tanned from the Governor. The miller's
daughter did not weaken in the conf
dence she reposed in her betrothed and
early the next morning set out with a
friend to the place of Incarceration. A
bystander says that the scene here was
a most affecting one. The prisoner
pleaded that it was set up job and that
he was as innocent as Mary's lamb.
After their love was again plighted, in
company with the Sheriff the doomed
lover went to jewelers. and procured a
handsome ring. This was used in the
usual manner. After the honest girl
had again and again promised to be true,
If it was necessary to wait ten long years,
and convulsed with sobs, she slowly
wendell her way out from the gloomy
cells. In few days the necessary
papers were made out, the prisoner
taken before the proper court IN Pitts
burgh, and there sentenced to one year
at hard labor.
Five years went rapidly by, until the
little hamlet had about forgotten the
foregoing circumstances, when three
weeks ago the principal actor of this
drama suddenly reappeared. When he
arrived he did not know whether the
girl he left behind him would so much
as condescend to recognize him if they
should meet. However, it was not long
until he had obtained an audi ence. In
few days the good miller had drawn
on his bank stock, the family was seen
exceedingly busy shopping, and the
village was at once rife with gossip.
Three weeks almost to an hour after the
prime actors arrival Rev. J. H. Lease,
the popular pastor of the Methodist
Church at Wilmington, in the presence
of nearly all the village people, pro-
nounced John A. Strouse and Miss Belle
Bloom man and wife.

Shortly after the breaking out Of the

him; but not looking like proper appli-
cant had been sent away, the great
mans time being too precious for him TO
admit every stranger who, on frivolous
pretexts. might seek to CRAFTY an idle
curiosity. This person, however, had
said he would return in an hour; the
secretary, therefore, thought it was his
duty to inform Mr.. Pitt of such inten-
ton and ask his further orders in the
affair.
"Have the goodness" said the minis

William Pitt sat alone, loaded pistol
in one hand, the miniature in the other.

Pitt calmly, tyou see am in every way

The intended assassin stood paralyzed

Runaway Son of Ex-Gov. Marshall
About TO Enlist at Eft. Russell.

-
In yesterdays issue, the LEADER
noted the arrival of Ex-Gov. Marshall,
of Minnesota, and his errand, the I'M
pleasant mission of tracing up the
wanderings of a runaway son.
1t seems that MI. Marshall has been
on a visit to his brother at the Marshall
coal mines. He was preceded to these
mines by his son, a young man, "a
cely out of his teens, and who withal is
an impetuoas youth, and at present
busily engaged in sowing wild bats.
From the Marshall mines the boy ran
away in company with another lad,
leaving for parts unknown-which as
has been stated before, always means
Cheyenne or Denver. The trampings
of the two were traced to this city, and
by inquiry 1t was found that the roman
tic fellow had gone to Fort Russell to
''enlist as a soger."
Mr.. Marshall went there yesterday
morning, and his visit proved most op-
perfume; for he found his son there as
expected, and that he had made all the
preliminary arrangements for enlist
ment the proceeding evening, expecting
to be sworn into the service that morn
ing. In this he was forestalled by the
arrival of his father, who persuaded the
youth to return with him, and yester-
day Mr.. Marshal, his brother aud his
son departed on their return home.
