MARLBoRoU..H, N. y, September %
Maremus Pressler is the proprietor OF a
berry cup and peach basket man ufactory at
Bailey's Gap, town of Lloyd. When Mr..
Pressler married his present wife she was a
widow with, one daughter, Miss Jennie NJ.
Bogart. Ths girl, her mother says, will be
fourteen years of age to. morrow. On Wed
nesdsy night Miss Jennie eloped with Os
car J. Dayton, young man about twenty
one years of age, who for several years had
been in the employ OF Mr. Presser.
The Facts I'm the Case
were made public to-day, and the story
causes a sensation in Lloyd. Miss BJgart
is OF prepossessing appearance and medium
height. Her bsir is dark and the color oi
her eyes is black. She would pass any
where for at least seventeen.
Mrs. Pressler says she never detected any
signs of intimacy between Jennie and Dav.
ton, while the neghbors stated that Jennie
bad hiated to them that she became en-
gagged to Dayton one year ago, on the day
she celebrated her thirteenth birthday.
Dayton bears a good reputation and the
girl i3 so young that nothing has ever been
said about her. Every effort has Deen maze

The Yonng Couple,
but so far the search has proved fruitless
They took little or no extra clothing with
them, and, as iar as known they had no

1t is generally believed the clipping pair
left the PreGsler house about midnight,
walked to Highland Landing, and there OBJ.
tsined row boat to Poughkeepsie, where
they took an early express train on the
Hudson River Railroad for New York. Nj.
and Mrs Pressler have received no word
from the funawsys. Dayton is unmarried.
The elopement is the third within q
period of three months from Lloyd and the
sdjoining towns. The last elopement was
from Highlsnd village. and the girl was
scarcely fifteen years old. She ran away
with a Rockaway restaurant proprietor,
who married her.

Amounting to $4,000 LaVing
Around - EMPLOYEES

J. H. Campbell, the contractor OF the
fve-mile section of the Ohio River Rail-
road above Sistersville, Tyler county, this
State has, according to the Independent,
taken his gripsack and left for parts un-
known, leaving debts in that county
amounting to between $1,000 and $4,000.
He came here last spring, continues that
paper, and began work on the railroad,
Banning HIS Face
for nearly everything he wanted. The
people with whom he had dealings thought
that he would be able to meet his bills at
the end of his months work, and as he ap.
peaIed to be a good honest person, his
promises to pay were supposed to be good,
and he increased his already large debts
The first pay day came, but his creditors
we're put OF with promises that he wOull
get their money at the end of another
month. When the second monthly pay
day came bis creditors were again put off
another month with promises, 20 be again
treated from month to month with
Worthless Promises,
but no money.
He was not satisfied with beating law
yers, doctors, merchants, mechanic hotels,
printers, and others, out OF large bills for
work and material, but borro wed all the
money he could from poor Italian laborers
who were working for him on the
railroad, and failed 10 return penny Of
their hard earned savings. the people, on
hearing the way he was doing business, be-
came cautions of him, but not until it was
too late.
Bills began pouring in on him from where
he worked last year on the BuChanon rad,
but be had put everything in the way OF
property out of his hands, and nothing
could be collected off him.
In order 10 secure more cash than he
de,trYed for his work, il Is said he made
out
ROSuS Labor Tickets,
payable to some OF the negroes who were
working with him, and who returned to
him the amount above their actual earn,
iugs. There is no punishment severe
enough for rascals OF his stripe, save burn
ing at the stake
Tne people here should burn him in
tffigy, aud we hope the newspapers who
come across this article, will pass him
around as a scamp OF the lowest character,
and thereby save others from being swim

with him.
We understand that he has taken q con.
tract to build piece OF railroad few miles
east If Ia. timore, hence we
warn the People
wherever be may go t. lookout for him,
and give him the cold shoulder"
Had he been satisfied in swiadling men
out of their money who where able to lose,
il would not have looked so badly; but 4

of hard work, Is worse than a highway
