Sad Ending of Leap Year
Proposal.

ERIE, January l0.-At on early hour
this morning the inmates of the Anchor
Line Hotel were aroused by the report
of pistol shot and the falling Of body.
Upon bursting open the apartment oc-
cupied by Miss Annie Oft, young
girl of l9, she was found stretched upon
the floor with q wound in her left
breast from which stream of blood
was flowing. A revolver was lying
near the spot. When she returned to
conciousness she said she had attempt
ed to end her lite because of the coldness
Of her lover, Max Deller, very respect
able young machinist. She resisted the
professional attempts to remove the
ball and begged piteously to be allowed
to die. The ball was subsequently re-
moved aud the physicians think the
chances for recovery are favorable. 1t
appears that the girl became violently
attached to young Deller, and be, being
engaged to another, did not return her
affection. He says he has frequently
reasoned with her of the folly of har-
boring hopes that could never be real
lied, but she would listen to no argu.
ment. On Wednesday night she drew
up a formal proposal of marriage, setting
forth that it was leap year, and that it
was her privilege to offer herself She
read this to DelIer, and he kindly de-
clined the honor. Remember" said
she, "if you won't have me, you doom
me to death" He still declined and
the girl that night obtained possession
of q revolver, and after celebrating
some hours, arose from her bed, clapped
the mnzzle to her heart and fired.
The young man, Deller, was inter
viewed by the correspondent Said he:
Il cannot help it. She got no encour-
agement from me- If a girl chooses to
fall in love with me, and blows her
head off because l don't happen to be
in love with her, am not responsi BILE.

One Hundred and Thirty-five Dead.
New YORK, May IA dispatch from
Farther Point, Quebec, says: The steam
ship Titania, from Glasgow, passed in
ward this morning. She has on hoard
twenty-four Of the crew of the steam
ship State of Florida, that vessel having
been sunk by collision with bark IN
mid ocean. Out of the 167 persons on
The State Of Florida only Al were saved,
and Of the bark's crew only the Captain
and two men we're rescued. A hundred
and twenty-three souls went down with
the steamer and twelve with the bark,
making total loss OF 1876 lives. The
survivors will probably be landed at
Qlebec.
Austin Baldwin l. Co.. the general
agents of the State Steamship Company

that received bv the Associated Press

not Inconsistent with the report made by
the City OF Rome that the ship which

borative of the story AMI leads to the
conclusion that those not picked up by
the Ttania we're rescued by another yes

Florida were well trained, and the off

The Truth Vindicated.

The facts in sny case will come to the
surface now and then despite the most
persistent and determined efforts to cover
them over with fana,ical decisions.
In 8 moment of thoughtless frankness,
our esteemed free trade contemporary,
the Herald, makes the statement that the
Democrats were "lifted into q msjority
in the House OF Representatives by the
scandals and corruptions of their Repub-
lican opponents" That is the exact
truth. But instead OF looking the facts
seuarely in the face and setting to work
to make lhs most Of their marvellous op-
portuuities, the greater number of tha,
majority left the road that lesds straight
toward usefulness and success, and tossed
aside their real mission in order to begin
a paltry and disastrous assault upon the
tariff.
While that attempt was still in pro
gress, many OF our most esteemed-c con-
temporaries, and among them the Her
aid, sought to draw away public atten-
ton from all questions of necessary and
possible reform in favor OF the new tariff
scheme. Now, when nearly the whole
OF the session, in which so much was ex.
pected and so much was possible, has
been wasted, the truth asserts itself and
folly Is sent to the rear. 41-
Perhaps, though, after the failure to
force the Morrison bill through. the
crazy -headed statesmen among the Dem
ocrats may listen to the truth and try
what they can do in the short time yet
remaining toward jusiifying, in some
measure, the elections OF 1882, when the
present Democratic majority was voted
into existence.

AGUERO HIDING IN A SWAMP.
He Expects to Enlist tho Peasants
In his Army After the Crops are
Gathered.

KEY WEST, May 6.-Gen. Aguero, it
is learned from relianle gentleman who
has just reached this town after tour
through Cuba, has now but forty or
fifty followers at his back These are
we'll mounted and we'll armed. Being
close pressed by the Government troops,
they gained the swamps of Z,pata before
their capture could be effected, hut were
compelled to turn their horses loose and
fee on foot in small bands TO the hills
between the railroad and the Rio Guaza-
DO Largo, where they are in hiding.
Among the band are several herders
whose familiarity with all the unbeaten
paths enables them to avoid capture with
comparative ease. R,lying on their
ability to preserve his liberty, Gen.
Aguero expects to remain in hiding until
after the crop is harvested, when, count.
ing on inducing the peasantry to JOIN
him in large numbers, he will begin an
aggressive campaign.
The Captain General continues bis as.
fsurances that the whole rebel band will
be speedily captured. Gold is at $50
and the sugar crop is selling at lower
prices than ever before known. These
facts have greatly depressed fnancia
circles, and make another disastrous
panic almost inevitable. Tue chances
of interference by the United States and
ultimate annexation are openly discussed
in the cafes throughout the island.

Sudden Rise in Beet.
Wall Street News

When the Federal General Wilson
made his raid into Alabama his foraging
parties were out in every direction as the
column moved on. Onc Of them called
at farm house in search of meat, and
finding likely steer on the premises the
farmer was offered 50 in greenbacks for
the animal.
"Gentlemen, that ar steer is wuth q
good deal more'n that" be replied, az he
looked the party over; 'but, seein' it's
you, / reckon | shall have to sacrifice
sunthin'."
One of the Federals was trying to
catch the animal, when the farmer sud.
denly cried out:
"Gentlemen. beef has gone up over
100 per cent in the last FIVE minutes!-
You can't have him fur less'n S10."
The Federals hadn't time to ask why
the market had changed so suddenly, for
a troop CT Confederate cavalry, which
the old man hal been the first to sight,
came charging out OF the woods, and in
the riot which took place the beef ques-
ton was run out of sight dewn toward
Wilson's lines.
