RTTLER,S ADDRESS.

Gen. Butler evidently grew tired Of
waiting for Mr.. CLEvELASD's fishing picnic
to end, and has concluded to issue his ad-
dress without having the advantage
of CLEvELASD's letter before him
for criticism. The address is longer than
BLASE's letter Of acceptance and less in
teresting. Its contents are summarized un-
der four heads
l. Hostility to all monopoEes in com
merce, industries, and lands.
,. The preservation Of the National legal
tender currency of the people, constitution
ally issued by Congress.
3. The needs Of all men and women who
labor in the production Of wealth, to be pro-
tected against the entertainments of those
who absorb and consume without produc-
ing
(. The necessity for reform and correc-
ton of abuses in government, so that its
pressure on the people would be made as
light as possible; its administration efec-
tive, to guard the rights of American citi-
zens at home and abroad; to make public
servants individual or incorporate, subsez-

She GOT THERE AT LAST.
WITH HER HEART BOWED DOWN,
A Sensation In Canadian Society Circles
Charged With Bigamy---His
Treasure Was Saved.

PHILADELPHIA, August lS.-Miss Lizzie
Adams, the young lady of Elwood, n. j.,
who was so singularly unfortunate and un-
successful in her attempt at elopement with
handsome brakeman of the sccommoda-
ton train on the Philadelphia 4 Atlantic
City railroad, has at last succeeded in her
matrimonial endeavors.
On Sunday afternoon about three weeks
ago this young lady, who is described as Of
more than merely attractive beauty, ar
ranged to board Camden & Atlantic train
at East Elwell and after reaching Ham
monton, skip over to the Narrow Gauge
station, and there await the incoming train
upon which her lover was employed.
The fair maiden walked from Elwood to
East Elwell, distance of over two miles,
with heavy bundle in one hand and
a valise in the other. Here she hid herself
until the approach of the train which was to
carry her to Hamilton and her lover S arms
at one and the same time.
The Train signaled.
East Elwell is flag station. Trains do
not regularly stop there, so it became neces'
sary to apprise the engineer of her desire to
get aboard. This she did by waving a deli
cately initiated handkerchief. The same
little silken quadrilateral to which she alter
ward confded in tears and confusion Of face
the story of her ill.success.
The grim-visaged engine driver saw her
petite form and stopped his iron horse obe-
dent to the signal. He aiterward swore
that he would have pulled his train up in
sheer admiration of the eXquisitely sweet
smile, even if there had been no signal so
to do
SO Lizzie stepped lightly aboard, assisted
BY the gallant and courteous Brakeman Pas
coe. Iier face graced by smiles, she en-
sconscd herself in seat on the left side OF
he car. so that she could see the telegraph
poles of the road her lover was employed
upon. While sitting there voice sounded
behind her:
"WcI, my lady, here you are, chg
It was her father. He was accompanied
by her uncle That was worse. They IN
timated that she was to 60 no further in the
direction of Hammonton than the next sta

girl pouted and cried and pouted.

Mr.. Adams and the uncle appraised OF
Lizzie absence, and suspecGug the cause.
took the same train at Elwood which the
eloping miss took two miles fnrther on.
Miss Adams was taken back to the pater.
nal residence at Elwood.
But Lizzie was courageous, as the sequel
shows Faithfully she visited the station,
which her lover passed, waved her hand.
kerchief TO him, assuring him of her eternal
affection.
Yesterday it became known that Miss
Lizzie was again missing. Search and in
ouiries revealed the fact that the brave lit
lie miss had elopcd. this time in reality, with
the object of her attachment, and that by
the present time she was doubtless Mrs
Richard Finch instead of Mss Lizzie
Adams.
The whereabouts Of the couple is not def
nitely known.

HIS TREASURE SAVED.

A Stage Drivers Wealth Saved by a Sc
cret Fire-Proof Preparation-Money
Found In All Sorts Of Places.
BRooELYN, n. Y, August ls.-Fred-
erick Wright. of Linoleumville, S. l., has
driven a stage for years from the village to
Elm Park, the last steamboat landing on
the North Shore. Travels generally good,
and the old driver, it was whispered, had
become rich. Wright, who is bachelor,
lived in house with hostler and two
savage dogs for company. A short time
ago Wrigkts dogs were poisoned, but he
bought two others, and chained them at the
front door. He also kepttwo loaded guns
on the stoop and over the gate was a sisu

dogs
On Thursday last Wrights house caught
fire while he was absent. The village fire.
men responded to the alarm, and worked
hard after the hostler had led away the dogs,
but the building was entirely consumed. In
hunting over the ruins, the firemen found an
old army haversack which had been saved
from burning by freproof solution with
which it was covered. 1t was heavy, and
when opened was found to be filed with
silver coins. Then valise also covered
with the solution was picked up. Ii was
filed with silver and bank bills. An old
coat was next found the sleeves and pock.
of which were stuffed with currency that
was in circulation in 1868.
The fremen carried the treasure TO JUS

the ruins Of the house while the search for
more money went on Near the fireplace
and under the doorsill holes we're disclosed,
in which hundreds Of gold and silver coins,
ranging from three cent pieces to II, were
found.
0At this juncture Wright returned. When
asked what money he had stored away, he
said he never counted it. He rewarded
each OF the fire companies, tossed his money
into the stage and drove away. His dogs
were put to guard the ruins Of the house

Minister Kasson Going Abroad Alone ms a
Disappointed Loye-Because He Cannot
Love But One.
WAsHISGToN Aug Is John A. Kasson,
United States Minister to Berlin, sails from
New York next Wednesday. He goes alone
There is little romance connected with
this solitary going which the gossips have
woven into story that has a melancholy
tinre TO it. Mr.. Kasson has been for some
time the suitor for the hand Of Miss Ere
linghuysen, daughter of the Secretary of
State. She is highly accomplished lady,
linguist a brilliant conversationalist and
of most amiable disposition, but with all
her notable equipments to shine in society,
she has leaned more to the serious phases
of life. and is especially active in charities
and all well-doing. Mr.. KassOn, with all
the ardor of a widower had addressed Miss
Frelinghuysen twice without success, when
his appointment to the high diplomatic post,
which he desired and for which he was gen.
orally regarded as being especially well 6t-
ted, came to give him new hope.
Miss Frelinghuysen's objection to his sui
was understood to rest somewhat upon a
disinclination on her part to going to Iowa
to live. Now that a residence at promi-
nent court was to be substituted, even tenn
porarily for the Northwest, interested
friends encouraged the hope that the lady
would Weld. Acting upon this suggestion,
Mr.. Kasson, upon the adjournment Of Con-
gress renewed his suit and it is said has
pressed it warmly; but he has been again re-
iected, and will have to forego his cherished
hope of calling in ,he assistance of an sc-
complishcd bride in forwarding American
interests by sohening and sweetening the
atmosphere ofthe American legation at the
Court of the Iron Chancellor.

CAMPAIGN PRoPHEsYING.

Gov. HoadIy Confident About Ohio-The
Disaffection on Both Sides-Various Re-
ports -COnkling's Friends.
NEw YORK, August l8.-Gov Hoadly, Of
Ohio, the Hon. Edward Avery, of Msssar
chusetts, Senator Ransom, of North Caro-
lima, William P. Kent, and H. D. Black, OF
Virginia julius H. Grinnell, of Illinois, and
John H. Cisby, of Alabama, were among
the callers at the Democratic National Com
mittee's headquarters Saturday. Gov.
Hoadly said that Cleveland would surely
carry Ohio, and he believed that the State
would go Democratic at the State election
in October. Senator Ransom chars cterized
the Republicans claim that they will carry
his State as absurd. He was confident
that Cleveland would carry every South
ern State. The reports received by the
committee from Ohio, Michigan, and Mas
sachusetts say that a large number of Re
pubica1s are opposed to Blaine. The Ohio
State Committee are confident of Demo
cratic success in October and November.
Senator German, of Maryland, Chairman of
the Executive Committee, is expected to
return from Saratoga tomorrow.
The reports received by the State Com
mittee are still to the effect that the dis
affection in the Democracy is diminishing
and the Independent Republican vote in
creasing.
Several of the delegates to the Irish Ma
tional League Convention in Boston called
at the rooms of the Republican National
Committee.
Andrew S. Draper of Albany, a member
of the Republican State Committee, said in
that committees rooms that ex-senator
Roscoe Conkling's friends were in line for
Blaine and Logan. lie understood that
Mr.. Conkling himself was out of politics.
The reports from the rural districts. Sec
retary Vroeman said, indicated that there
was little of the Independent Republican
movement in this State outside Of New
York and BROOKLYN.

years old, and was married to his dodge 81
sister Annie at Dublin, Ireland, in 1880;
that McAfee was employed as manager OF
the largest music house in that city; that in

place Lodge found him and procured his
