TWICE MARRIED AT ID.
1HE CHILD WHO wEDDED HER
sTEPFATEER.
Ella Shores Obtains Divorce From
an Absconding Husband of 60
and Secures AEcthcr
Aged Seventeen

BALTIMORE, Feb. IA wedding
took place in Danes Quarter dis
trict, Somerset county, Md, on tie
18th inst, under circumstance s
which have probably never found
parallel in this country. On the
date named II. E. Whyte, youth
of II years and of excellent eharac-
ter, married little brunette named
Ella Shores, aged 4 years, thus Civ
ing to the girl a second husband
within a period of two years of her
short life.
On February ), 1880, precisely
two years previous TO the date of the
marriage just mentioned, the resi-
dents of Danes Quarter We're great
~ excited by learning that Sidney
Shores. a farmer Of So years, had
married Ella Shores, the 12-year
old daughter ofhis deceased wife by
former husband. The ceremony
was performed By Rev. Taekarias
Bowen, Methodist Episcopal cier-
gymen. who, as shown afterward,
was deceived by Shores as TO the
chi,d's age, and did not lnow that
she was the step-daughter Of her
prospective husband. At that time
there were numerous threats OF
iynching the wretched bridegroom,
and a mob visited his house one
night to hang him. Shores, howev-
er who is an old soldier, showed
fight, and they desisted. After the
man had lived with the child as
his wife for four days the county
authorities took cognizance of the
affair and arrested him and
Rev. Mr.. Bowen, Justice Robinson,
of Princess Annie, committed Shores
and Bowen to Jail in default of bail,
and the girl was taken charge OF by
friends and removed from Shores
house. The feeling against Shores
was further aggravated by the fact
that his wife (who was the widow
of his uncle had only been dead I
month when he welded the girl.
Some months later Shores was tried
by the County Court, convicted of
misdemeanor and sentenced to pay
fine OF $500 and stand committed
until twas paid. The clergymen
was acquitted on the ground that he
had not known the facts Of the case.
Shores, being a poor man, could
not pay his fine, and would have
been in jail at the present time had
henot succeeded in escaping last
year, since which time he has not
been heard OF. Meanwhile the girl
wife, by friends applied for a divorce
which application was heard last
fall and granted.
Throughout all her trouble,
Whyte, her second husband, dis
played the most Observation-Disclosures
for Ella, and finally induced her to
marry him. Blrs. Whyte despite
her tender years, is a mature and
unusually pretty girl we'll educat-
ed and intelligent. Several promi-
nent residents Of the county have
taken an interest in the welfare OF
the young couple, and will assist in
establishing the groom in business.

A Family Poiso..ed by Spring Water.

CYTIuAEA, Ky February la.-A
fearful story OF p p,isoninc and death
mas just Seen III. 9 known here.
It appears that IL n named Law
son, residing with his wife and four
children in a placed named Flor
ence, q short distance from here,
drank water from . spring that re-
Gently appeared on the grounds
surrounding their house. Last
evening Mr.. Lawson, his eldest
daughter and a baby were suddenly
taken sick, and before medical aid
could reach them died, uttering
piercing cries Of pain and apparent
ly suffering the most excruciating
torture. Before their death Mrs.
Lawson and two other daughters
were taken sick in the same manner
and at last accounts were dying IN
the greatest agony. Physicians
were powerless to relieve them. 1t
is believed that the spring water
had in some manner been poisoned,
but in what way is a mystery.
Immediately after the members Of
the unfortunate family were taken
sick their bodies began to swell and
become discolored, the eyes bulging
from and finally leaving the sockets.
The water of the spring will be ana
lived.

Almost an Inundation at Helena.

CIxcINNATI, February 16.-A spe-
cial from Helena, Ark, says A
heavy gale prevailed here this morn
ing. During the prevalence of the
wind the waves on the river were
three to four feet high, and poured
over the levee, in front of CONNER
cial Row, at fearful rate. The
greatest damage occurred at the
corner of Main and York streets,
and it was with difficulty that the
flow of water over the levee at that
point could be prevented. Between
II and 1 o'clock the city fire bells
were vigorously rung, and merchants
and others closed their places of
business and hastened to the scene
of danger. BY 2 o'clock this after
noon the surface of the river was
calm. In the vicinity Of the Iron
Mountain and Helena Railroad de-
pot an immense force of hands was
in Strengthening the leyee,
which is considered to be III q very
weak condition. The levee at the
upper end of Williamson Place, two
miles below the city, broke this af
ternoon in two places, and the water
is pouring through at rapid rate.
It is thought the water can be kept
out Of Helena by closing the en-
bankment of the Midland Railroad,
which is now being done The
leyee about the city is weak, but
hone IS entertained that the water
can be kept back in that direction.

Murder in Greenfield. Pa.

PlrrsbURG, Feb. IA. L. Mich
ener, of Greenfield, Washington
county, was shot and killed on
Wednesday night by Peter Shawn.
The latter had gone to the drug
store OF DR.. Wells for the express
purpose of shooting Wells. He
drew apistol and was about to dis
Charge it when Michener rushed be-
tween him and Wells with the in
tention of preventing him from do
ing any harm. Michener received
the bullet in his breast in the region
of the heart, and falling to the floor,
expired in few moments. Shawn
fled to Brownsville, FIVE miles dis
tant, where he was captured and
taken to Washington Jail. He is
about twenty years old, coal min
er, and was concerned liz the riots
not long ago near Greenfield.

MRs. ScovILLE has appealed to
Mrs. Garfield in behalf Of her broth
er. She asks the Presidents heart
broken widow to stay the hand Of
justice. 1t is touching, pitiful ap-
peal, but can only add useless pain
to overwhelming sorrow. While
the public sympathizes with Mrs.
Scoville in the shame and anxiety
she is compelled to bear, nothing
can justify this unnecessary and
Objectionable act. 1t is scarcely
possible to imagine how such tender
solicitude can ence mpass the well
fare Of a hideous assassin, except
upon The theory Of insanity, in
which Mrs. Scoville apparently be-
lieves; and it is not to be expected
that Mrs. Garfield viii take notice
of the appeal. Even should she do
50, and should her womanly, SYM
pathetic heart yield. the President
has the courage to he inexorable.
1t is not a case Of mercy; an unpro-
fitable, worthless. wicsad life should
not be spared to save woman's
tears, when a nations peril hangs
upon executive firmness. - Inter

LoxDov, February l6.-It IS un-
derstood that the reports OF the
British consuls in regard to the out
RACES against Jews in Russia are
about to be issued by the Foreign
Office. They do not show that any
eases OF violation o. women have
been clearly prove The evidence
is clear regarding other serious out
RACES. Had The authorities used
the necessary force, the outrages
might have been confined to n very
narrow circle. The Jews still re-
manning in Russia are reluctant 70
give full information in regard to
them. Mr.. f. D. Moccatta has con-
tributed 81, 900 to the Jewish relief
fund, and ogers to contribute one
per cent. Of any sum not exceeding
81 100000 collected within two
years. At a meeting OF the Man
sion House Committee Of the jew
ish relief fund letters from Mr.. Glad
stone and Earl Granville were read
acknowledging the receipt OF the res
olutions adopted at the meeting
held at the Mansion House on the
1st instant to protest against the
the outrages perpetrated against the
Jews in Russia.
LoxDoN, February IA Wen
ia correspondent vouches for the
truth of the statement that Eliza
bethgrad, Kief, Odessa, Niesjin,
Peezaer, Kona and Prioslar over
250 women were outraged by Jew
baiters during the disturbances.
At Kieff General Drenteln, when
appealed to for protection, said it
was not worth while to risk the
soldiers lives. At Odessa petroleum
was poured on mans head and
set on fire, and the died in agony.
Subsequently many children were
mercilessly killed.

sEoiI.e Mcguire Outrage.

READ1xG, February 15.-An out
rage OF the Mollie Mcguire order has
been perpstrated near NIiGlin,
Schuylkill county. George II. Was-
oner, a respectable and wealthy far
mer, some time ago reeeiyed q letter
warning him either 10 leave that
part Of the country or to prepare his
place Ia hell, and that If he did not
get out, first, his barn and live stock
would be burned second, his house
would be destroyed, and third. he
would be shot.
No attention was paid TO this and
the supposed Mollies, after waiting
ten days, proceeded 10 carry out
their threat. At one o'clock in the
morning Mr.. Wagner was aroused
from sleep to find his fine barn on
fire. By very hard work he and
his daughter succeeded in saving
thirty fine horses and cattle. and
with the assistance Of Rev. Mr.. Hav,
who was staying there for the night,
the dwelling was also saved, but the
barn and its valuable contents was
destroyed. During the fire q num-
Der of shots were heard on the
mountain, supposed to have been
fired by the incendiaries. About
fifty neighbors went in pursuit OF
them.

III further evidence was needed OF
the fellow fee,ing-of which is be-
gotten coalition-between the Half
breeds and the Democrats Of this
county, it was furnished by the
Democrat of last week; that paper
having evidently undertaken the
contract to do the dirty work for the
new combination.
Having asserted in a previous is
sue that Guiteau murdered Garfield
to make Arthur President, that
Grant, Conkling, Cameron & Co.
might have the dispensing Of the
public Offices" It last week renewed
! It's brutal assault by raking from the
gutter all the political garbage it
could collect, and heaping it in one
foul mass upon the President and
his distinguished friends. The an
mails Of journalism mot excluding
Brick Pomeroy's Democrat Of infa-
nous memory may be searched in
vain for anything SO disgustingly
low and base. The Democrat has
dived down deeper and come up
more filthy than any known journal
of the day. In It's eagerness 10
serve Its new allies-the Hali-breeds
lit gives circulation to vile ISLANDERS,
which those Of the baser sort may
chuckle over, but have too much
sense and discretion to publicly re-
peat. an older hand than that Of
the young editor is plainly discerni-
ble in this filthy diatribe, which can
harm no one so much as it viii its
author.
OF course no answer is expected
or need be made, to SO villainous
an assault upon the personal char
acters of gentlemen known to be so
pure as are Messrs. Arthur, Grant
and Conkling, but it is suggestive Of
a few reflections.
II, as the Den ~ charges, the
differences between the late Presi-
dent and Senator Conkling induced
the assassination Of the former, is
not, by parity Of reasoning, its
beastial assault upon President Ar
thur and two of his prominent
friends calculated to induce the
murder of our present Chief Magis-
trate?
Is the article lately published in
the Pittsburgh Commercial and cop
led by the Johnstown Tribune, re-
fiecting on the official conduct Of
Hon. A. II. Coffroth, and for the
publication OF which the Democrat 8
uncle has instituted prosecutions for
libel, at all comparable in meanness
or misrepresentation to the vile
charges against the three distin-
guished citizens whom that paper
so grossly libels?
Would the rawlings Of the misera-
bic wretch Guiteau be held as suiii-
cient testimony whereupon 10 con-
Wet Hon. A. II. Coffroth Of com
plicity in a most horrible crime? ?
and, if not, Why should they be Ia
ken as proof positive against gentle
men who are immeasurably above
him in public estimation?

DETROIT, February 13.-A very
bold and successful robbery was
committed shortly before noon to-
day in the County Treasurer's Office,
Treasurer Crosby being alone at the
time. One man went in the Office
and expressed desire 10 pay his
taxes. Going to the window furth-
est from the door he called out
the numbers at that window, and
while the Treasurer was hunting up
the descriptions given a confederate
of the thief stepped in at the door,
which had been left ajar, hastily
went to the money drawer, took
what bills could be grabbed and left.
The noise efhis operations attracted
the notice of the Treasurer, who saw
the thief as he disappeared through
the door. An alarm was instantly
given, but The thief escaped in the
excitement OF the moment. as did
also the man who pretended to pay
his taxes. The amount taken was

OMAHA, Neb., Feb. 16.-Judge
Dundy. presiding over the United
States Court at Lincoln, Seb., where
the trial of Corbin and Iddings in
the Star Route cases has been in
progress for several days. Yesterday
morning directed the jury to return
a verdict of acquittal, which they ac-
cordingly did. The government
had completed the examination Of
its witnesses, the defence had not
offered any testimony, and the pros
ecution had utterly failed to show
any wrong doing by the accused.
The verdict gave universal satisfac-
ton, as the defendants are well
known and respected citizens.

a yiliainous stepnather Punished

SCRANTON, Pa. February l5-In
the Court here yesterday II. G. Pot
ter, of Moscow, this county, was
sentenced TO the State Penitentiary
for term of two years and eight
months, in addition to paying n fine
Of $1,000, for the betrayal of his
stepdaughter, Miss Lulu Swartz, the
daughter OF a military chaplain who
died during the war. Iulu's father
went away when she was d child,
and never returned. Her mother
married Potter two years ago, and .
year later Lulu returned home from
the Soldiers Orphan School, where
she had been educated as the ward
of the State. A short time ago her
mothers husband Potter decoyed
the girl away to Bethlehem, where
they lived as man and wife. The
members of the Grand Army OF the
Republic employed a detective and
Potter was arrested and brought
back for disgracing a deceased sol
dier's child. There was great indig-
nation in the neighborhood, and it
was feared at one time an attempt
would be made to lynch Potter, but
the case came to a speedy trial, with
the result already stated. Lulu is 4
pretty girl of seventeen, and great
sympathy is felt FOR her distressed
mother.
