boarded q train. Toward evening
Miss Kelly told her parents that she was
going to call on a friend, who lives a short
distance up the road west OF the village
That was the last the. parents ever saw Of

at her absence, as they thought she was
with her friend, until this morning they
were informed that she had gone to Green
vile, and was there married to Beatty ;also,
that Immediately after the ceremony the
pair had left for Kansas.
On investigating the matter the parents
discovered that before Beatty went away
the girl had packed her best clothes in his
vslise and he carried them away. When
she went she took nothing with her but
the clothes she wore. She walked up the
track nile or so to a crossing and there
awaited the coming Of her lover. He ar
rived on the evening train west and had the
conductor stop and take her on. The pa.
rents say that as the girl is mere child

BILE parents, but was considered little

WASHINGTON, March S.-Erskine Phelps,
of Chicago, Bresident OF the IrOquois Club,
recently paid visit to Mr.. Hiden. While
in this city upon his way home he told
several friends about the interview. He
said be found Mr.. Tilden in a fair physical
condition, but not inclined to talk much
about politics. He received Mr.. Phelps
very cordially and listened very atten.
lively to his report OF the strong
telling in Illinois in favor OF
the old ticket. Mr.. TildeH oonversed
entirely in low whisper. An incident oc.
Cured during the visit which the Chicago
gentleman related with great delight.
During the conversation with Mr.. Tilden a
party OF ladies visiting at the house came
down from the observatory, which com
m8nds such fine view of the Hudson and
the Sound. 0ne OF the ladies was especially
pretty. She came into the library fairly
sglow with enthusiasm. Hearing her talk,
Mr. Tilden btckoned her to him. Making
her bend her head to level with his, as he
sat in his chair, he asked in loud whisper:
"AEd so you admire the river?'
Il have never seen anything so beautiful
in this world" said she in reply; "and
never expect to see anything to equal it in
loveliness."
At this Mr.. Til6ens face lightened up,
ar be said, 80 as to be heard 10 the furthest
corner of the small library: Tut, tut, look
in your glass"
During Phelps visit here he gave his
party sssocistes to understand that they
need not fear the malign influence of the
Mayor, Carter Harrison, when the conven-
ton meets in July. The Ircquois Club has
taken the contract to subdue, aad, il need

Captain William Dillon, of Wheeling, has
been here most Of the week looking after
an unpaid balance due him by the Govern
ment on account of its use OF the steamboat
Morning Light. This claim illustrates the
disadvantages labored under by people who
are unfortunate enough to have obligations
due them from the United States. Dillon's
boat bearing the above name was captured
by the Confederates at the beginning Of the
war on the lower Mississippi and put into
the service of the Contederacy. Subse-
quently she was recaptured by the Federal
troops and Dillon hearing of her recspture
sometime in July, '6l, took the necessary
papers showing his ownership and loyalty
and went to New Orleans after her.

against the Government, for nearly six
months use of the boat before his rights

such claims were sudited once offered him
$2I 900 for the claim, bat the Captain, un-

Reports OF Cabinet officers on the opera

not as hesrty as could be wished by the
Civil Service Commissioners. Secretary
Frelinghuysen says the Commission has
not been in existence long enough to per-
nit him to form q critical opinion OF its
working. Secretary Folger says that thus
far the appointments have broughtlnto the
public SER ce persons who are up to the
average capacity ard character, though he
is not able TO say they are above it. He is
not abe to say that it will bs any more
practicable to to dismiss from service those
who have come into it from Civil Ssrvice
examination than those who have come
into it from personal recommendation or
application under the former rules OF the
Department" In general, he says that,
if wisely administered, the Civil Service
act would work benefcially. Lincoln and
Teller content themselves with SAYING that
it has relieved them from good deal OF
personal solicitation, and Gresham
