$4,000 of tue $li7 900 tax account
charged against the corporation by the
commonwealth, and which it was re-
ported short time ago this board had
agreed TO compromise at the lesser
amount offered 10y the company. The
scandal created i'll Pennsylvania some
years ago by its board of accounts mys
teriously aud suspiciously abdting large
part of a claim for tax against a delin.
quent transportation company should be
for all time a warning Of the state OFF,

FLEEING FRuM MAkRlAGE.
A BrIdegroom VINO Failed ~ Turn Up O
His Wedding DAY.

n '" Iufl on
his wedding Dsy.
William II. Reed, recently Of Franklin
township, Huntington county, has lied TO
avoid marriage with Miss Ellen Kinch.
The day for tho nuptials had been fixed,
and the prospective bride had made ex
tensive preparations for housekeeping,
which duty she expected to enter upon
Immediately after the wedding. Reed,
instead of keeping his engagement, went
on the appointed day, to tho nearest rail
road station and took the cars for the
West, as Is supposed, since which time he
has been unheard of, so far as is known in
this county.
He left behind him, however, a valuable
limestone farm, out of which Miss Kinch
hopes to secure satisfaction for her disap :
polntment and injury. She has brought
an action for breach Of promise, and,
upon writ of foreign attachment, has
had the farm levied upon. The amount
of her damages Is yet to be legally ascer
tanned, but when the matter has been
adjudioated she will have ample security
by virtue of her attachment for $40 600 at
least. Reed Is doubtless Ignorant of the
proceedings against him and when he
learns of them will be under strong in
duoements TO come back and make a dc
fense.

was cutting the county by unreasonably
