surprised the other day when told by her
mother that she was going to give large
party. Invitations were sent out among
the neighboring farmers and created the
greatest surprise, as the Oberts had never
been known before to extend the slightest
hospitality to any one. On the afternoon
of the day set for the party new dress
was brought home for Lena. With it were
so many things that suggested bridal ap-
parel that the girl laughingly remarked
that if she wore them people would think
she was to be bride. After the guests
had arrived and Lena had donned her new
finery, her parents informed her that they
had arranged marriage for her with an
old ami wealthy widower who owned the
farm titled by the Oberts. The prospec
tive groom had offered to give the Oberts
a deed for the farm in exchange for the
girl on her bridal day On hearing this
terrible recital Lena stood for some time
pale and speeches., staring into her
mothers face. Then Selling the wedding
garments she tore them into shrcds.
Tears and denunciations followed, while
her parents covered before her wrath,
and the guests silently admired her spirit.
Then she left the house and walked to
Scranton, where she has friends. AMI

ONE thing is clearly brought out in the
Ohio election. All the democratic losses
were in the cities. The country precincts
retained their democratic majorities of a
year ago, and in many instances actually
gained from so to 300 or that already large
vote. This proves that the eyes of the
agricultural population are being opened
to the enormity of the present robber
tariff. Blaine, in his tour, made it q dis
tinctive issue every place, and the result
cannot be pleasing to himself and supN
porters. The republicans only gained in
the large cities where the United States
marshals, with bull dog revolvers, voted

Panic In a Chicago Theatre.

CHICAGO, Oct 21.-1he cry of "Firel" was
raised by some fool or miscronnt during
fight between two boys in the top gallery at
the Academy of Music Sunday night. 1t
was just as the curtain had gone down ON
tho third act. Tie cry was echoed from
every part Of the house, and imme
diately all was scene of confusion.
Men and women climbed over the chairs
in their efforts to get outside the
building. Several persons were already on
the floor and trampled upon, when Mr..
Kusel, the manager, forced his way through
to the door, and ordered the excited audi
ence to sit down. He was assisted by sev
eral men who had retained their presence of
mind, They formed q line across the exit
and fought back the crowd until quiet was
restored. The play was then resumed.
Many would have been crushed to death, as
the house was crowded to suffocation, had
not the manager and the cooler heads re-
stored quiet and Confidence

WHILE the republicans are doing so
much blowing about the German vote in
Ohio, it is noticeable that have very little
to say about the solid Irish vote which
they predicted would be cast for the re-
publican candidates in that state. With
reference to the Irish vote in Cincinnati
the Times Star (rep) says there was but
little change. 1t was cast for the democratic
ticket, as usual. In some of the strongest
and most thorough Irish wards there was
republican gain, but this might have
been due to other causes than detection
among the Irish. The republican man :
ayers at one time had great expectations
of what the sons of the Emerald isle
would do for them, but today they are
constrained to admit that their hopes were
more or less baseless.'

The hearse was overturned, and Mr.. Smith
