A Strange Infatuation.

ERIE, March ia sensation was
created here tonight by the elope-
ment of Mrs. Georgianna Griffin
with Charles Holmes, a colored hod-
carrier. Mrs. Griffin is a young
woman of twenty-three, highly con-
nected, being a relative OF Judge
Cross. formerly on the bench of Erie
county. Five years ago she married
George Griffin, an artist, who, after
the birth of their little girl, treated
her SO badly that a separation was
insisted upon by her mother. For
the last three years Mrs. Griffin has
been living with her mother, a lady
of considerable means. Three
months ago Charles Holmes, an
intensely black negro, of splendid
physique, was employed as hod-
carrier repairing the house opposite.
Observing that he attracted the at
tention Of the lady across the way,
he found means of communicating
with her, and an acquaintance began
which ended to-day in both being
seized on board a train when about
starting for Buffalo.
The elopement was partially frus-
lrated by railroad conductor tele
phoning to Mrs. Martin that bel
daughter was at the depot in suspi
cious company and had bought
tickets for two for Buffalo. The
mother jumped into a hack without
stopping to don street attire anc
dashed into the depot Just before the
train pulled out. The lady was dis
covered in the car, with Holmes il
the next seat masquerading as he
servant. The officers had great diff
ficulty in removing her. She shrek
ed and called upon her colored swain
In endearing terms TO prevent hel
removal. Holmes declined. HaC
he made the slightest attempt to in
terfere a score of excited citizens
aboard the train would have effect

Suddenly she wrenched herself fret
and darted up Eighteenth stree

officer pursued her, followed by full

Copiah County.

The fashion is to cry bloody
shirt when any reference is made
to the political situation in the
South which kills those who refuse
to vote the Democratic ticket. The
New York Herald is among the
newspapers that was quick with the
cry, but the recent Investigations
have wrung from it the following,
which is commended to the dudes
in politics:
"Many Southerners insist-be-
tween campaigns-that the colored
people vote as they please and are
not disturbed for exercising their
political rights. A few days ago,
however, a Copiah county Miss
| Democrat informed Senator Hoar's
outrage committee that ''if you
should send your biggest man-Gen.
Grant-down into our couRtry to
organize the negroes he would be
killed at oace," and this expression
of sentiment was applauded by a
crowd Of Democratic listeners. As
organization is absolutely necessary
to men who expect to work together
politically, the rights of colored vO-
tiers appear to amount to nothing IN
Cepiah county, unless this witness
is mere braggart, more fond of the
sound of his own voice than of the
truth. The same witness laid al
the troubles of last autumn to the
Independents, and said OF this fac
ton, I'VE would have taken human
life if it had been necessary in order
TO get rid of them. Yes, we would
do it if they had a majority Of the
votes" 1t will do no good to wave
the bloody shirt over this statement
for the witDess and those who be
lieve with him cannot be disfran-
chised or punished for ther opinions
but the testimony will keep emf
grants and capital from entering
Copiah comfy. No man of proper
ty or self respect will trust himsel
in community that belieYes ii
overcoming maiorities by murder.

Maryland Marriage fees.

ANNAPOLIS, March 1S.--The
House of delegates to-day, after
a protracted struggle, passed the
fee for marriage license from four
and a half dollars to six cents.
Heretofore the revenue to the State
from this source has averaged S27, :
600 annually, the State receiving
four dollars and the Court clerk
issuing it fifty cents for each license.
The determined opposition 20 the
bill was because of this reduction of
revenue. Under the new law, while
the fees ofthe clerks will remain as
before, the State will receive but ten
cents for each license. The mar
riage license in Maryland has been
higher than in any other State in
the Union.

She Kept Her Word.

ST. LOUIS, March 23.-A crowd of
boatmen out enjoying the fine wealth
er this afternoon found the body of
young girl floating along with the
tide. They brought 1t ashore and
had it conveyed to the morgue,
where it was soon identified as the
remains of Mary Weilde, young
girl of II, who disappeared from her
home, No. 1S9 South Second street,
few days ago. She was in love
with baker named Theodore Steb-
er, and it seems that he decoyed her
from her home, betrayed her and
then placed her in lodgings of his
own, where she remained for quite
while, he promising right along to
marry her. One day the girl reap
peared at her fathers home. She was
in great distress, crying as though
her heart would break, and telling
her mother, between sobs and tears,
that she had been deceived and then
deserted. She said she had nothing
left to live for, and that she was 60
ing to the river bank to drown her
self.
Before the girls mother had time
to render a word of consolation, the
unfortunate turned aud fled from the
house. The mother ran after her,
crying out to her daughter to stop
and come back to her old home.
Several took up the cry and there
were soon fifteen or twenty enlisted
in the chase. 1t was just after dark
but the girl was to be seen running
full speed down Poplar street. The
crowd followed and were catching
up with her when she crossed the
railroad tracks Just in front ofan en-
CINE W hich was pulling long freight
train. The latter shut out the girls
! pursuers, and when it had passed
she was nowhere to be seen. Some
thought she had carried out hel
threat, but the girls parents hoped
that she still lived until to-day
when the river gave up its dead
Since she disappeared nothing has
been heard of Steber, and his friends

act, seemed overcome with remerse
and threatened to make away with
himself. His continued absence con
firms the theory of suicide.

Battling with a wildcat.

HoNEsDALE, March 1S.-Leyi La
bar, of Purdytown, fought a "catch.
as-catch-can" battle with an enor-
nous wildcat in his bedroom last
night. A large window-pane which
had been broken was closed up with
piece of cloth nailed to the sash
About midnight, after Labar haC
retired to bed, he heard strange
noise in the room. Hejumped from
the bed to make an investigation
when a sharp unearthly yell from {
wildcat made the very air jingle
He seized stick of wood and, with
out stopping to me- ke light prepar
ed tor combat.
The animal sprang upon hi:
shoulders, hut Labar shook it off and
delivered q stunning blow with his
club. For fifteen minutes the con.
fiict ragged with vigor, the brute leap
ing from wall to wall, clinging tC
the paper with its sharp claws and
then bounding upon its opponent
screeching with fury and with eyes
shining like Goals of fire.
At last Labar dealt the cat death,
blow Just as it was about to leap on
his head from the top of an open,
door 1t measured eight feet from
the tip of its nose to the end of it:
tail. Labara was severely lacerated
about the face and arms.

"BARKIs is willin, was thought
by Charles Dickens sufficient offer
of heart and hand in marriage, and
"Barkis is willin, " or I'm in the
hands of my friends" has been con
sidered sufficient declaration that
man was a candidate for any office
for these many years past and gone.
This year witnesses a new departure
in politics, however, and now the
persons desiring to be candidates,
instead Of frankly acknowledging
that "Barkis is willin', think it
necessary to declare your candidate
| can not be-" About once a month
some reporter or politician calls on
Mr.. Tilden and comes away with
the same old story Your candidate
| can not be. The noticeable feat
ure about these interviews is that
they are always held with some ar
dent supporter Of the sage of Gram
ercy Park, and result in booming
him. The other candidates are
catching on to the racket of the
great defrauded,' and now the
Standard Oil Company, through its
representative Payne, bushes, re-
treats, and, ogling an ardent Demo c.
racy, says: Your bride | can not
be-" Hancock and Hoadly both
ostentatiously decline, the former
by joining a New York Tilden and
Hendricks club, and the latter by
ustily bowling for Payne. The
whole situation has been reversed
and from the position OF the most ar
dent of suitors, the candidates have
become the most retiring and bash
ful of maidens, until a bewlldereC
and be-deviled Democracy are say
ing, "can such things be and no

Died While IN Prayer.

CHICAGO. March 1S.-At prayer
service at the Little Mission House
in South Halsted St, last evening
Mrs. Georgiana Miller a widow,
sank 10 her knees with others in
prayer and when the people lifted
their voices in worship, the widows
head bowed slowly over her bosom
in an attitude of reverence, When
the expected moment arrived for
the woman to pray. there was adeep
hush in the little hall. The devo-
tions ceased and the worshipers filed
slowly out of their seats. The lonely
suppliant, however, remained fixed
in her position, and a cry of horror
escaped from all present when they
found that she was dead. Tender
hands bore the body to the house OF
a friend, and the Coroner decided
ther heart disease was the cause OF
the death.

The Stewart-Pattison Republicans
of this county have been loud in
their denuGciations of the HERALD
because it pointed out the fact that
the gentlemen who are posing as the
Blaine leaders in this county were
the same men that labored fer the
defeat of General Beaver and the su-
premacy Of the Democratic party.
The readers of this paper will bear
witness that its course has been
most conservative that it has AVOID
ed even the appearance of trying to
create strife in the party; that it
gave no editorial expression of SEN
timent on the question of the Presi-
Dental nomination that it lent
itself to helping the boom of no can
didate, but attempted to lay before its
readers as fair an expression al public
sentiment as it was able to gather it
from all parts of the country. The
county committee pursued an
equally conservative course, it
gave no expression of sentiment for
any particular candidate; and in
stead Of appointing delegates to the
State Convention. as it might
have done, it rather preferred to
incur the expense and trouble of a
primary election, that all Republi-
cans might express their preferences,
and that there might not De the
slightest ground fer complaint. The
Chairman of the County Committee
announced the names of Messrs.
Livengood and Cover. two as warm
and true supporters of James q.
Blaine as those who so loudly pro-
fess to faver his cause, and at once
the malicious lie was sent forth that
these men were for the nomination
of Arthur and against Blaine, and
the authors of it entered into consul
tation with their leng time ally
General Coffroth-as evidenced by
his remarks to the reporter of the
Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette = to
devise Means to compass their defeat.
The gentlemen named desired true
Republicans to represent the district
in the Chicago Convention, but this
part of their action it seems was not
satisfactory to the Pattisen-Stewart
contingent, and they had the names
OF Messrs. Harrison and Spangler
announced, hoping that by putting
forth the claim that they were Blaine
men, to mislesd enough Republi-
cans into voting for them to secure
their election, and thus bave the Re-
publicans of Somerset county repre-
sented in the State and National

WHEN, two years since, the Inde-
pendent leaders were going up and
down the county preaching a cru.
SADIE against the election of General
Beaver, they declared that his defeat
would purify the party and make il
all the stronger and more firmly
united in the Presidential election OF
1884.
Well, the party got its baptism OF

$4,000 for n Jersey Bull.

ALLENTOWN, March 81. T. S,
Cooper, of the Linden Grove Stock
Farm, at Coopersburg, has sold the
Jersey bul! Black Prince of Lin
den," to MIR. S. NJ. Shoemaker. OF
Baltimore, for 5000 cash. BLACK
Prince" was bred by Cooper & Mad
dux, at Reading, o., and was born
June 4, 1882 He is not quite ?
years old, is dark gray in color, with
deep .hadings on face and sides.
He is the son of BLACK Prince of
Hanover and the celebrate COW
"Marjoram H." which drew second
prize at the Pennsylvania State Fair
in 1880. He is descendant of the
famous bull "Rioter," whose stock
is among the most highly priced in
this country and England.
Mr.. Shoemaker is the owner of
some of the finest stock in America
and within a year las bought two
COWS for which he paid $3.50 and
$3.50, beside other cattle less high
priced For three animals be paid
S24, $50, or an average of over SIS, 800
apiece. The price paid for Black
Prince of Linden is one of the high
est ever given for a 2 year old bull
in this country.

The repeated declarations of a
number of Democratic politicians,
among them Il wculd-be Congress
man from this district, that "thev
are in favor Of relieving the heavy
burdens of the people by wiping out
all internal revenue taxes, save those
on whisky and tobacco" are rather
absurd and far-fetched in view of
the fact that the only internal reve-
nue. taxes now collected are on whis-
ky, tobacco and the circulation OF
National Banks. The burdens OF
the people" would not be nightly
relieved by repeating the tax on
bank circulation.

News comes from Washington
around by the way of the Philadel-
phia Times, that great row is about
to take place in the Democratic
camp, and that Randall viii kick
over the traces. The programme as
outlined by Colonel Mcclure is that
Watterson viii try to drive the Nor
rison free trade bill through the par
~ caucus under the lash, and that
rather than swallow it, Randall will
kick over the party traces and join
the Repas'icans in defeating it. The
only thing to mar this pleasing,
from Republican standpoint, pelit-
lcal arrangement, is Col. McClure's S
well known reputation as a false
prophet. Usually the opposite to
that which he predicts, is liable to
happen. Mr.. Randall,s ability to
make trouble is not doubted, bat as
a politician he is nothing if not con.
servadve. That he will enter into a
struggle that will end in putting
him in opposition To the Democratic
party, is not TO be seriously consid-
cred. He is ambitious. and while
he is the most conspicuous figure OF
the protective element in the Demo-
cratic party, is not likely TO sacrifice

WHEN Chairman Scott announced
Messrs. Liyesgood and Cover az
candidates. one of the two great In
dependent leaders of this borough,
Immediately commenced prancing
around town declaring, 'these two
delegates were regularly set up in
the interest of a certain individual
in this place, and !, for one, won t
stand it" Means were at once taken
to stir up his late Independent fol-
lowers: pow-wows, long and fre-
quent, were held; efforts were made
to induce a couple of regular Repub-
licans to suffer themselves to be
used as against Livengood and
Cover, and, this failing, a regular
caucu. was held, and Spangler and
Harrison were set up, and announc-
ed as for Blaine. That the whole
thing emanates from the one ma-
lignant Independent leader who
wasn't going to stand il, is well
known fact, and the attempt to sus-
tain it by using the name of Blaine
is a mere dodge. Not a Blaine man
outside the little caucus held on
Saturday night was consulted, and
no one was taken into counsel ex
cept the rebels Of two years since
If these plotters had been sincere
they could have learned on inquiry
that Livengood and Coyer, while

they gave circulation to the lie tha
they were pledged for Arthur.
