The Sentinel Corr sspondent of this
city gives the following account Of a
runaway bride who is at present a
resident of this city: about a year
ago there came to Grand Rapids a
young American girl, II years of age,
who represented herself as an orphan,
poor and without friends, and gave
her name as Dora Smith. After an
unsuccessful attempt at the dress
makers trade, she obtained a position
as domestic in one of the families oil
this place, through whose influence
she was enabled to attend the Howe
High School. For six months she
has been attending faithfully to her
studies. She joined the Congregation
al Sabbath School, and by her modest
department has won many friends.
Last Wednesday night she was con-
fronted in the yard near her home by
Marshal Carey and a stranger. who
claimed to be her husband, from whom
she ran away two years ago, and who
has since sought her in vain. AS she
was returning from the Teachers
Institute Wednesday afternoon, be
saw and recognized her. He then
sought the assistance of Marshal Carey
to recapture her. Miss "Dora"
admitted that the man was her hus-
band, but positively refused to return
with him, claiming that he had NAL
treated and abused her. When
threatened with arrest she said she
would keep company with Fennar in
prison rather than return to her
husband. The husband is in the
employ of the Chippewa Lumber Com

We found the following important
decision ia the Pioneer Press of April
18th, in reference to the sale of Wis.
Valley Railroad stock as advertised in
the REPORTER the past four weeks :
''An important decision regarding the
value of certain railway stock was
reached in consultation in this city
to-day. The question involved was
the value of the common stock of the
old Wisconsin Valley railroad. now a
part of the st. Paul system This
stock was advertised to be sold by
auction at Grand Rapids, this State,
last Saturday but there were no bid
ders. because no one knew what value
the stock bore. An adjournment of
sale was had, and conference of
would-be buyers appointed for to-day
to get at, if possible. the actual value
of the stock. After lengthy con-
sideratien of the matter, General
Solicitor Carey of the st. Paul road
decided that inasmuch as his company
in purchasing the Wisconsin Valley
had not bound itself to provide for the
holders of common stock, the stock so
far as his company was concerned had
but nominal value that is, its value
was in no wise enhanced by the
purchase of the road by the St. Paul
company. The construction of the
Wisconsin Valley was begun in 1873
by Remington, Powers & Co., who
owned about all of it. When partly
finished these gentlemen sold the road
to company of capitalists, among the
number being James F. Joy of Detroit
and a number of Boston men. In
part payment for the road Remington,
Powers & Co. were given large
amount of the common stock of the
company. In 1880 the road was
bought by the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul company while the North
western company was negotiating for
it. The purchase will be remembered
as causing quite an excitement in
railway circles on account of the
sharp way in which the St. Paul
secured control. In the sale, no pro-
vision was made by the capitalists.
Joy & Co., for the holders of the
common stock, and soon after this a
dispute arose between Remington,
Powers & Co.. in regard to the division
of the stock jointly owned, and the
result was the stock was placed in the
hands Of receiver and an order was
issued to sell the stock at auction last
Saturday, with the result above
stated"

FIVE CAR LOADS A WEEK. =
Figures will not lie unless they get
misplaced. Our figures last week
made US say that the Hyde pulp mill
was making two and a half car loads
of pine pulp which should have read
four and half. At present they are
making FIVE car loads. This mill is in
charge of Mr.. E. B. Brown and the
company employ Is men, four bows
and one team. They have the four
grinders at work now and more water
than can be used Wednesday of
last week while Mr., Hyde was at the
locks fixing the gates one of them
gave suddenly away and plunged Mr..
HYDE into the cold Wisconsin. Like
other men in such circumstance he
grasped hold Of the gate which went

old man take that unceremonious bath.
