The usually progressive Springfield

of hostility to any appropriation for
the improvement of the Mississippi
1t stands thus opposed for The alleged
reason that such appropriations would
be virtually subsidizing steamboat,
monopoly, and it is just as wrongful for
the national government 20 subsidizc
a steamboat or tug-line monopoly As 4
railroad. But. perhaps, the editors of
the News are so unfamiliar with the

not know that 4 great river. unlike 4

people vii! be so blind to their inter

but it is their own fault. and without
the aid of such lault and blunder on
the part of the people no such monop-
ly could ever grow up. Give us free

st. Louis to New Orleans. one over

NYAcK, n. Y, December u.
Nyack has an elopement, and the people
here are happy. The parties sre N.
Melchior, a well-to-do French baker, and
Lizzie Baerman, pretty French German
girl, twenty-three years Of age, who has
resided here for a couple of years with
family on Cedar Hill avenue. Melchior
came TO this place with his wife and
family over two years ago, and
opened bakery on Depew avenue, and
soon built up large and paying BUSH
ness. He purchased some fine property
in Upper Nyack, and made himself and
family a very pleasant home there. His
wife is an Alsatian, about thirty live
years DID, and quite good looking. So far
as people knew they always lived happily
together. The young woman with whom
Melchoir eloped, is short and gracefully
formed, with Jet black hair and sparkling
eyes. Melchior met her several months ago
and an intimacy grew up at once be-
tween them. She remarked to several
parties that she "thought a great deal of
the baker and would ike to be his wife"
The elopement occurred last Saturday
morning. On that morning Melchoir
kissed his wife goodbye, as he usually
did when he went away, and said he was
going to New York to buy -four. At night
Melchior did not return and his wife was
little worried, but did not then suspect
the truth of the matter. He did not come
back Sunday, and then
HER SUSPICIOUS WERE AROUSED.
Early in the week she went to New York,
called at the place where he customarily
purchased -four, and found that he was
not there on the preceding Saturday.
When she returned home, she made a
search through the house to see if any
thing was missing, and found that he had
taken all the money, but twenty cents.
She discovered, also, he had taken four
suits of clothes and other things, which
indicated he had prepared for a journey.
little later she ascertained that the
girl, for whom he had formed such
an attachment, had also gone away on
Saturday morning, and it was not long
before she found proof that they had
eloped. Mrs. Melchior feels badly, but
not heartbroken, and longs to get hold of
her husband and his companion. She
yesterday sold his horse and wagon and
some other personal property, and says
she will dispose of everything for which
she can find buyers, SO that if he ever
comes back he will not have cent. She
is going to New York, and says she in
tends to leave this country and go to
Europe. 1t is suspected that Melchior
and the girl have sailed for Europe.

Gently committed ia the town of Sodus,

who are hard at work on it, Miss Par
mela Marquet, dashing young lady aud
of generally good health, died very sud-
denly at the house of her sister Mrs.
Geo. Bridges, in Lyons on the 9Th of Oc-
tober. At the time of her death there
were slight suspicious of foul play, but
the burial of her body was not interfered
with. Since then, however, new clews
have been obtained. 1t seems that Miss
Marquet tan ~
WAS AN HEIREss
to several hundred acres of valuabel
farming land in this county, besides
many thousand dollars. She lived for
some time in her sisters family, but
owing to domestic troubles she suddenly
left there and went to live in the family
OF Albert Thorn. Last August She, as is
alleged, was prevailed upon to give Mrs.
Thorn deed of her farm besides making
o will in her favor. The Bridges were
enraged at the news of this action, they
claiming that they should have the prop
erty. Miss Marquet and her sister Mrs.
Bridges had nothing to do with each 9TH
er for some time, until on October 9Th,
when Mrs. Bridges suddenly sent for
Miss Marquet to come to the formers
house for short visit. She ac-
cepted the invitation and went there,
arriving in the evening. In about an
hour after arriving at her sisters Miss
Marquet was taken with vomiting and
died several hours later. Yesterday the
Coroner impaneled jury and had the
grave of the deceased opened. Physl-

after which the body was reinterred.
The parts removed have been sent to

STRIKERS TACTICS.
Another Attempt to Blow Up Miners
House at Jacksonville, o.


COLUMBUS, o., December IL.
This morning another attempt was
made by the strikers in the Hooking
Valley to blow up a miners house at
Jacksonville. The inmates escaped without
injury, but two sides of the house were
shattered, the dynamite, as in the
former instance, not being properly placed
to do its work. Such desperate and VII
famous actions on the partof the lawless
strikers have thoroughly aroused every
law-abiding citizen in Jacksonville,
and this afternoon special meet
ing of the Town Council was held
10 take immediate steps to prevent any
more similar occurrences. 1t was re-
solved by that body to instruct the Mayor
TO appoint at once twenty Deputy Mar
.shals who are to watch the town. If this
force should not be sufficient for the pro-
lection of life and property, then the
number may be increased.
There have been rumors to-day of an
other attack upon the town, but the off,
cials of the Hooking Valley say tonight
that such a thing is improbable, as in the
two former attacks the strikers have
been badly worsted, and they have
better sense than to inaugurate an
other. However, Superintendent Carr
says that as there are no guards now al
Jacksonville or Straitsyille, the strikers
may become bold enough to do almost
ANYTHING. He says that the remaining
strikers number 600, OF whom not over
sixty or seyenty-hye are hard characters,
yet those are the leaders and exert an in
nuence over the others. ~ "a
