and the woman returned to Baltimore, and
every effort was made by the parents OF
Fink to induce their son to give up hispara-
mour. All their efforts appeared to be OF
no avail. On Wednesday last, upon hear

about to 60 out west, Mrs. Fink sent
younger son, William, to see if they left to-

mated that there are $4,000 persons on the

ance. At the Governors special request no

lutte of twenty, one guns by the Cleveland

an address from his carriage, and was re-
ccived with great cheering by the 15,OOO
persons present. His remarks were devot-
ed to the subject Of agriculture. In conclu-
ding be said 1.-THE farmer must not be I'M
mindful of the value and importance to the
interests he holds of just and economical
government 1t is his right and his duty to
demand that all unjust and inequitable bur-
dens upon agriculture aud its products
however caused, should be removed and
that while the furtherance of the other in
terests of the State have due regard, this
important one should not be neglected.
Thus by his labor as farmer, and in the full
performance of his duty as citizen, he will
create and secure to himself his share of the
result of his toll, and save and guard for all
the people most important element IN the
prosperity of the State" At night there
was IN imposing torchlight procession in
Gov. Clevelaud's honor. Fully 1000 men
were in line. 1t is estimated that there
were 10000 visitors in the city to witness

REPORTED KILLING IN CuLPEpER "A dis
patch from Cnlpeper to n Washington pa
per says:
"A desperate handto hand fight took
place near Oak Shade in this county, late
Saturday night, between Jell Jolly and a
highwayman, in which the latter is believed
to have been killed. jolly is a stonemason.
In returning from his work he was met by a
" bite man on the road and Il demand was
made at the roint Of a pistol for his money.
With his pocketbook in one hand, heavy
hammer in the other, the stonemason made
a desperate effort to defend his life and
property. The robber fired at him, but IN
the hurry missed his victim. jolly closed
with him and fought like tiger. lie finally
felled the thief to the ground. and, it is be-
lieved, killed him by well.directed blow.
The light, however, lasted fora quarter ofan
hour, and but for the fact that the robbers
pistol was disabled by a blow from Jolly.s
hammer, he doubtless would have killed his
victim and secured his money"
