A marriage about which there was some
compulsion, took place at Squire Crop
pers office last evening Miss Hannah
johnson, the bride is comely young
woman, who, it appears, has been led
astray by one Frank O. Larson. She
became in an interesting condition, and
desired her lover to marry her, This he
refused to do, until she put Chief of Police
Miller on his track, and brought him to
the justice court, where she was awaiting
his coming. Larson finally consented to
become a groom, and the nuptial knot
was straightway tied by the Squire, who
gave them some kindly advice, and hoped
they would live happily together. They
both went away in good spirits, the woman

Track Talk.

Railroad men will be sorry to hear that
the "Olds Arabian" the first locomotive
built in the United States, was destroyed
among other curiOsities at the Pittshurg
exposition fire. This old stand by at
tracted a great deal of attention at the
Chicago exhibition of railroad appliances,
1t was designated and built by Mr.. Phin-
cas- Davis, in the shops of the Baltimore Il
Ohio railroad company, and went into
service in June, 1884 1t was in active
service at the Mount Clare yards, until it
was placed on exhibition as relic In all
its long career it met with but one acct
dent, but this was sufficiently remarkable
to be worthy of record. OF it the Was
ington Republican gives the folio wing
account
Before 1.-THE Arabian wac finished
Mr.. Davis promised the workmen engaged
in the shops some three hundred, to take
them and their families on the train drawn
by the Arabian as far as 1t went, then to
go TO Washington, and have dinner at
Browns hotel. The Washington branch
was then open nearly to Blandensburg
The trip was made. VIM. Duff being the
engineer. just west of Jessup's. but 49,
miles from Baltimore the Arabian ran off
the track. Mr. Davis was sitting with Mr.
Duff when the accident occurred Neither
the engineer nor anybody else on the train
was hurt in the least, but Mr. Davis was
killed. There seemed to be special fate
in the matter. Nobody could ever tell
why the Arabian ran off the track. There
was no evidence ever shown, although the
fullest investigation was made, that any
cause existed to throw it off. The Ara
bian on its trip killed its designer and
maker.

Mr.. Lycurgus Dalton, superintendent OF

heard Colonel Dick Bright Sergeant-at-

nomination, and if nominated would make

''There are, however two or three other

the Democratic nomination for Governor.

best men in the State-a gentlemen with

man, and one of the most popular Demo-
Gratis in the State. He is very strong. Then
there is Senator Bob Bell, of Fort Wayne.
The Democrats of northeastern Indiana will
be solid for Bob. while all along the central
part of eastern Indiana and about 1ndianapo-
lis he will have heavy support. He is
splendid lawyer, Il statesman and politician,
is quite popular and would be "a strong can

tice."

Commissioner Raum says there will be no
reduction in the price of tobacco, cigars or
cigarettes to the consumer on account of the
reduction of the tax. Manufactured tobacco
has gone up in price since the tariff bill
passed, and employees of cigar and tobacco
manufacturers are striking for increase of
wages. In preparing tobacco and cigars for
retailers a fiye-cent basis is adopted. There
will be no change in the method of prepare

the consumer will be in the same position as
he was before.
