Greenbrier WhHe Sulphur Springs, ".
Vo., May 17th.-An attempted elopement
last night in the southern part of this coun-
ty resulted in the death by drowning of the
fleeing lover and the avenging father, and
the narrow escape of the young lady. The
lady's family are among the most prominent
people in Greenbrier county, and the tragic
occurrence has produced intense excitement.
On Thursday evening Ellen Farrier, the
daughter Of flames Fl. Farrier, eloped with
John Biggs, WHO had for some time been
paying attention to Miss Farrier despite the
strong opposition and threats of her father
and brother. They fled towards Green
brier river in a buggy, intending to cross
the stream and be married at the house of
a minister some distance beyond with whom
they had an understanding. The father was
absent from home when the couple left, but
on his return he procured buggy and, ac
companied by his son, started in hot pur-
suit. BiggS and his intended bride, uncon-
scous of the chase, arrived at the river, and
entering skiff started across. Hardly had
they left the bank, however, when the pur-
suers dashed down to the shore. Jumping
into another boat the young lady's father
and brother followed the lovers; and at the
same time calling upon them to stop. When
about half way across the river the fugitives
were overhaulcd, and dropping their oars
the father and his son sprang into the boat.
The former grappled with Biggs and the
son took his sister into the other boat A
struggle ensued between the irate father
and young Biggs, in the course of which
the skiff was overturned and the father and
the lover sank and were drowned. Miss
Farrier and her brother reached the shore
in safety. The news Of the affair spread
like wildfre, and the next morning a search
ing party found the body of Biggs lodged in
a pile of dirt Mr.. Farrier's body has not
vet been found.

Household Hints.

One pound of rice gives So per Dent. of
nutriment, and one pound of beef Is per
cent.
A little milk in the water in which you
are washing your dishes is much nicer than
soap.
For damp closets and cellars put shallow
dishes of unslaked lime and change
often.
Beef fat is very nice if cooked thorough
ly in water and the fat dipped off as it rises.
1t will remain soft, and is preferred by
many to lard.
1t is recommended that papier mache az
ticles be washed with a sponge and cold
water, dredged with flour while damp and
polished with flannel.
To remove ink stains from Turkey red or
white table spreads, add spoonful of ker-
osene to pint of strong soap suds, wash
and rinse Immediately and all traces will
disappear.
