The young lady who was billed as the

company that last night appeared before a
slim audience in Fulton opera house, is
an unframed amateur, whose performance
presented SO few features of merit that
it is only the part of charity to refrain
from considering it; 1t is enough that Miss
Ulmer cannot act, but as she is evidently
she may in time develop dramatic qualities
of which the glimpses furnished in her
performance last night were few and far

was very largely attended by friends and
relatives, the number of young friends aud
companions of the deceased, his sorrowing
patients and professional brethren being
conspicuous. Many beautiful flowers
were sent as the last tributes of
love, and as the body of the
dead physician lay in the parlor
in handsome casket the features wore a
very natural and peaceful expression. The

A DESERTED BRIDE.
A LOVER PROVES FALSE ON ACCOUNT OF
BASE AND sLANDEROUS STORIES
ABOUT HIS INTENDED.
From the Peoria Freeman.

A lover is strange being. Sometimes
one will believe anything that is said about
their hearts idol; and then. again, all the
world could not shake their co f1dence
For some time preparations for wedding
have been going quietly on in a certain
family in the city: The young lady's par
ents are poor, and were not able to furnish
d wedding outfit suitable to the prospec-
tive taste; so he went down in his pocket
and presented her with the necessary chr
rency. The young lady at first objected
to this gift, but her lover insisted SO strong
ly that she at last consented. The we'd
ding was to take place on Thanksgiving
eve and all arrangements were made to
that end. The young man had rented q
house, purchased furniture to furnish it
with, and part of it was already moved in.
He furnished the money and she did the
work, and made all the necessary bed
clothes for the beds. She had selected her
dishes, picked out her stove, and every
night dreamed of the happiness that she
thought was in store for her. But when
our cup OF happiness is full, the old devil
comes and knocks it over, and
leaves us the bitter dregs. So it was
in the case of these two young people.
The young lady had once had another
sutton, but he never received favor in her
Slgnt, ana was turned away Tor the last
one. But the former sutton determined, if
he could not marry her no one ever should,
if his vile tongue could work mischief
enough. Since he received his dismissal
from the young lady he went west, where,
if justice overtakes him, he will surely be
hung With the old devil in his heart,
and guiding his hand, he penned a Sian
derous letter to her intended. In that
letter he penned the blacklist lies ever plac-
ed on paper with ink. He wrote the young
man telling him stories derogatoy to the
lady's character, and of certain privileges
he had enjoyed with her that would pre-
vent her from becoming the wife of man
who loved honor and virtue. The young
man believed these stories. They made
him furious. On last Saturday night he
penned her note telling her what he had
heard, and upbraided the poor girl in a
cruel mnnner. He then took the train for
the west, and left his soon-to be bride to
become the theme of gossip and scandal.
Doubtless he has repented ere this of his
rashness and folly, and wishes he had paid
no attention to the slanderous lies.

ESCAPED.
From the Peoria Freeman

Yesterday morning Sheriff Gill, Cap
tain Hill and Officer Osborn started for the
penitentiary with ten prisoners, represent
ing thieves of all classes. Everything
went smoothly until they were within a
mile of Joliet, when two prisoners asked
permission to go to the water closet, and
Sheriff Gill accompanied them, leaving the
other eight prisoners in charge of the Off
GERS accompanying him. Scarcely had he
left, when Ryan unlocked the shackes that
held him to another prisoner, and went,
head first through the window, landing on
his feet, and darting off like a deer. The
train was running at high rate of speed
at the time. Gill conducted his prisoners
back to his seat; but when the other
prisoners saw what had TRANSFERRED, they
became wild with excitement, and three
others made desperate efforts to escape,
and commenced to unlock their shackles
After short struggle Gill and his assist
ants conquered them. The car was filled
with people, and the actions of the prison
ers created the widest excitement. After
they had arrived at Joliet an investigation
was made as to how Ryan had got his
shackles loose. In the possession of the
three prisoners who attempted to escape,
was small pieces of hair pins, the ends bent
in such manner as to render the unlock
ing OF the shackles an easy matter. With
out further accident they were all landed
safely in the pen. The sheriff and his
posse arrived home this morning. Gill
says it is the first prisoner that ever escaped
from him, and he feels badly about it.
However, accidents will happen. At the
penitentiary he was told that such things
were common. Prisoners disappeared
from the penitentiary, and no one knows
where they go Not long since the sheriff
of Sanga1non county had prisoner at the
very gates of the penitentiary, and he
suddenly disappeared There is not much
doubt but that Ryan will be recaptured, as
Joliet lie his old home, and he is well known
there.
