Mr.. Thomas Fletcher, manager OF Judg'
Fulerton's stock farm, near Manassas, 70
Gently ran off with negro man employed
ON The farm, and went to Washington
where they were married, and are pow liz
ing together. Fletcher is u Northern man
and was strong advocate of equal and SC
cial- rights. The negro, who is younf
MAI. and had been employed on the farm
for number Of years, was on the most IN
innate terms at the house, having seat a
the table where he ate his meals Wit
Fletcher and his family. He and the girl

cows together, and an attachment sprlnglnl
up>between them, they eloped and Went L

ma;ned in Washington, he could not be, b.
returned TO his home broken hearted mar
but with his belief in social equality con

dissentions growing out Of his unpopula
notions.
