Cincinnati News-Journal: "How

cry day in discussing national bank
circulation. Evidently from the bank
quarter comes the assertion that
per cent. bond, running fifty wears,
will preserve it. About five years
have passed since the banks com
planned of Carlisle's proposition to
compel them to take 8 per cents, and
procured Hayes veto of the hill.
Now they would be glad to have hi,

And LEFT Her Colored Lover in the Lurch

Readers of The REGISTER win remember
be sensation created, some time ago, by
he local accouuts of the elopement of a
beautiful young lady with deformed negro.
They passed through here and went to
Cleveland. An Associated Press dispatch,
last night, dated Cleveland, tells the sequel
to that story:
About a year ego, Tamsen Walker, the
2G,year old daughter Of a man OF wealth and
,ocial standing. ran away from her home in
Waterford. West Va, with John Ash, q
negro servant in the family, who was ffteeE
20 twenty Years her senior, physically Grip
pied aud Of inferior appearance. The two
were quietly married here. Subsequently
the father tracked his daughter
here and found her living alone
ard serving as a domestic in a private fam
lily. He finally prevailed on her to return
home and later entered suit to have the
marriage contract annulled. Tamsen's
affidavit states that Ash, by reason OF having
had the care Of her when a child, obtained
an influence over her, and BY means Of this
and BY threats accomplished her ruin. Fear
ing herself aboutto become a mother, she con-
sented to elopes and marry him, but imme,
diately after the ceremoEE left and refused
to live with him. Ash, in answer, claimed
their relations were sought by Hansen; that
the marriage was at her instance, that she
is under duress and if left free to follow
her inclination, would remain his wife. The
Common Pleas Court to-day aunulIed the
marriage contract.

G.. Blaine, of Maine; ex- Sena-
tor Vim. II. Barnum, Of Connecticut and
Stephen b. Elkins. of West Virginia, were
not present. Mr.. Blaine sent a dispatch to
Mr.. Davis saying he regretted that very i'm
portant private business would prevent his
attendance, but that he was very well. Mr..
Ba,num telegrapbed that he was unweh and
not able to attend. Mr.. Elkins wrote that
important business prevented him from be-
ing at the meeting. A vacancy in the
board, caused by the death of Hon. Angus
tbs Schell, of New York, was filled by the
election of President Davis as a member to
fill the place. The other officers are Ste
phen B. Elkins, yice-president, and Col I.
B. Davis, general manager.
1t was decided to move the principal
Office of the company from New York to
Baltimore, and Mr.. A. Ebert, the secretary,
rendered his resignation. 1t was accepted,
and Mr.. Z. W. s. Moore was appointed to
the position.
The report of'the President shows the
company to be in good condition. The
quantity of coal transported for the year
ending November |, 1883, amounted to
274,S25 tons, and for the year ending No
vember l, 1884, 383,46l tons-an increase
of lOs,636. The track-layipg has now
been completed to Davis, ffty-seven
and a half miles from Piedmont, and
with the branch road to Shaw, there are
sixty miles of finished road now owned BY
the company. The stations On the road
are named after members of the Board OF
Directors, and a number of small towns are
s~pringing up along the line as the result of
the development of the country by the rail
road and mines.
The question of miners wages was not
discussed BY the board. The line Of the
road leads into the rich and valuable. lands
of the Upper Potomac coal region, and for
almost its entire length passes through a
virgin mineral country, Astounding in coal,
iron and timber.
Senators German and Camden left for

SINGULAR LOVE
Binding Together "a White Woman
and Ceiored Man.
A Rather Mysterious case---The Parties
Arrested and fiued---The5 Give
Boad aad Appeal to
the Court.

Forguite a long time psstthe people living
on Eleventh street, east OF Market, have had
their curiosity greatly excited BY what they
believed to be q singular case OF miscegena-
tion-s pure white woman living with a
negro. On the north side Of the street, be-
tween Market and Chapline, is g row of
small, one-sto;y frame hous 9 in one which
lived a very attractive looking young lady,
with a child, apparently two or three years
Of age, both white. A report that she had
a colored husband caused the people living
lear, to watch the house with curious z .al
and sure enough they discovered a colored
mar going in and out. The house was al
ways closed up, with drawn blinds aud no
glimpse Of the interior could be obtained.
Once, the child ran out the door end the
woman ven after it and hurriedly brought
it back, this being the only opportunity of
seeing her unveiled. She was frequently
seen at market, at early morning, but al
ways a heavy veil over her face.
Such an affair was sufficient to stir up all
the gossips in the neighborhood and it was
generally discussed, while covert eyes were
bent, in passing, on the house which seemed
shrouded in so much mystery. Nothing
was ever done about it, however, until the
other day, when matters came to a head.
Mrs. johnson, q ~neighbor, swore out a war
rant before Justice Arkle, for the man and
woman, charging them with lie
gally living together. Constables
Lauchlin and Love arrested them and
u hearing WAS given. Their names are
Henry Thompson and Ella Bennett. The
colored man told the officers be had a wife
living. but that the white child referred to
was his. This was the substance of the ties
iimony and the Justice fined them $40 and
costs each. They promptly gave bond in
he sam of$60 each and appealed the case
% the Circuit Court, where it will De more
.uliy heard. The result will De AWAITED With
some degree Of interest.
When tie case was on trial at Justice
Ankles, the colored man, white woman ana
white child were all there, apparently uncon-
celned during the progress Of the proceed

looking negro, while the white is
rather attractive. The child is a perfect
Caucasian in appearance, bearing a striking
resemblance to its mother. The latter has
volunteered no information whatever touch.
