company.

The following dispatch to the journal, from
Anderson, Ind. was received yesterday:
"A ripple of excitement was caused in this
city to-day over the announcement that
Miss Allie Wagner a prepOssessing young
lady and a member of one of the
best families in Anderson had disappeared
from home. Miss Wagner had been in the en-
ploy of ]. S. Moses, photographer and
this morning left home, telling her parents that
she was going to the gallery, but later develop
ments show that she took the train for
Indianapolis. For time past she
has been receiving attentions from a
young man by the name of Hit
Dickson, formerly of this city, but now of In
dianapolis, much against her parentss wishes.
1t is now apparent that an elopement and mar
riage had been planned as Dickson is known to
have been here few days ago. The girl is ac
companied by Miss Mollie Michener of Kokomo,
young lady who has been her guest during the
holidays. As soon as Mr. Wagner learned this
afternoon of his daughters departure for Indian
apohs, he Immediately dispatched description
OF the young ladies to the chief of police direct
ing their arrest, and in short time he received
reply that they had been taken into custody.
Mr.. Wagner will go to the city tomorrow morn
ing to bring his daughter home if possible He
will not permit Dickson to come into his house. y
The superintendent of police received no in
formation regarding the matter until after IL
o'clock last night when he was notified by Mr..
j. B. Kitchener, of Kokomo, the father of one of
the girls, who in the city in search of his
daughter. He thinks that the girls had left
home with the idea that they would obtain en-
ployment and support themselves. Last summer,
when the Wagner girl was visiting his daughter,
they had talked of coming to indianapolis
to work in photograph gallery, and before
leaving home yesterday morning Miss Kitchener
confided to a friend at Kokomo that she was
coming here with Miss Wagner to take posi-
ton with photographer on East Washington
street, 1t is found, however, that there was
some other motive for their leaving home The
Wagner girl was about twenty years old and
rather small. Hes face is Slightly
freckled and her hair is red. Miss
Kitchener is eighteen years old rather large, with
full face black eyes and dark red hair. The
trains were closely watched last night, and the
hotels were visited in search of the runaways,
but no trace of them could be found Dickson,
mentioned in the foregoing dispatch, is engaged
in the bucket-shop business, ON West Washing
ton street

counterfeiting operations of the southern Indiana
gang, was released from custody yesterday on
bond of s., 600, his brothers, Thomas and Solo

well an interview with Robert Hobbs the detect
i've appeared in the BoonVille Standard in
which the secret service officer was re
ported as having said that there were
several members of the cOunterfeiting gang that

ment was made that there were a number of
zens who had been dealing in spurious money.
The names Of several were given, and Stillwell,
who is farmer in comfortable circumstances,
was charged with having been guilty of coun-
terfeiting arson and larceny. The article
was of highly sensational ma
ture and appeared in several newspapers in
southern Indiana. In a few days the enterpris-
ing young editor. whose name is Robert NJ Gra-
ham, found himself overwhelmed with libel suits
Judgments for the aggregate amount would have
bankrupted the New York Herald Suits were
fled against all the papers which had given pub

whole southwestern Indiana press was threatened
with extinction Stillwe was heartless and
exacting, and demanded gold, but finally accept
ed 500 from the Standard as a com
promise of the suit for $4,000

brought to this city, where he has been in jail

First National Bank stock.

An actual sale a few days ago of considera-
bic amount of the stock of the First Ma
tional Bank of this city, at 80 cents, shows that
the affairs of that bank are not in a bad shape
at all so that those that doubled their stock at
the time of the reorganization did better than
those who sold out at so cents on the dollar.

A Novel Suit.


DR.. p. &. Remondino has employed
eminent counsel to bring suit for DANA
ges against the city Of San Diego for
maintaining a nuisance-the Chinese
wash house on Sixth street, between 4
and +, in proximity to his property. The
doctor has been obliged to move his
buildings from Sixth street in conse-
quence Of the prevailing obnoxious odors
which emasate from the wash house, and
claims that they are serious injury to
the health Of his family. 1t is to be
hoped that the said nuisance will be re-
moved Immediately by the authorities,
as there 10 no doubt but that the doctor
Is correct. All Chinese laundries in the
city should be removed to the sea.shore
where the wash water could easily escape
without polluting the principal streets. =

Fish and Meat a. Food.

There is some danger Of the fish ques

not to be tolerated after the interest
which has been excited, and for some
time maintained. In connection with
this important phase OF the food PROB

value of fish as food-and we believe
it to be very great-it must be evident
that q full and cheap supply OF hsh

of the price OF butchers meat. The

called, are encouraged, and IN
truth enabled to keep up

of the old and healthy habit OF living
