Water and BOrax Stops the Business of
COndensing Establishment.
MONTGOMERY, n. Y, Jan. 3.-The
mystery which has hung round the Bor-
den milk condensing establishment, in
this county, has at last been cleared up.
Some months ago it became necessary to
close the factory and stop the manufac-
ture OF condensed milk, owing to the
fact that, Notwithstanding all precau-
tions, the milk was regularly returned
by dealers as worthless. In order to ar
rive at the solution of the difficulty, the
milk supplied by each farmer was placed
in a separate can and given to a chemist
for analysis. The latter has Just con-
cluded his investigation, and reports that
the milk contained IN several of the cans
has been diluted with from five to six
quarts of water. to which a mixture of
bOraX and saltpetre had been added to
conceal the adulteratiOn. 1t is said that
the evidence against the guilty parties is
conclusive, and that they will be prose-
cuted to the full extent of the law.

Cincinnati Looking for the Man Who
Ran Away With and Married His Lit
tie Daughter.
Cincinnati Special, Dec. 50.
Three men of farmer-like appearance
came lnte Central station this evening
and announced that they were looking for
man and a girl who had ran off and
come to Cincinnati to get married. They
told the old story of the pretty daughter
and the farm hand falling in love and
eloping because they feared the girls
parents. The girl in this case, Miss
Claudio b. Lawrence, is aged only
IA, while her lover, Henry G. Rhyens. is
over 30 years of age. Her father, VIM.
Lawrence, Is wealthy land owner living
near sherman, Grant county, Ky. Rhyens
mas been working on the place for about
TWO years. The family has observed the
friendly intimacy between Claudio and
hyhens and mildly reprOved her, but she
laugned at their rebukes, and they did not
suspect there was any real danger of a
marriage, because they thought the girl
had sense enough to know that she was
too young to think of such thing.
Mr.. Lawrence employed private gov
erness Tor his children, Miss Matte
OHara, whose residence is in Williams
town, KY, about six miles from Mr.. Law
went to WilliamstOwn to visit her gov
erness during the holidays. One night
last week Rhyens attended a ball at Will
Jamestown and there met Claudio. On
last Saturday morning Rhyens told Mr..
Lawrence that he was going to work for
another party in Crittenden, and he took
his trunk and left the Lawrence farm. At
Crittenden he met Claudio according to a
secret agreement, possibly made at the
ball. They came to Cincinnati and rot
license to marry, and it is supposed lost
no time in having the knot tied as secure
ly as possible under the circumstances.
Yesterday morning the family of the
girl was astonished to see her name
coupled with that of their former hired
man. 1t is easy to understand what sort
OF a reception Rhyens would receive
down in old Kentuck if he should again
venture in that neighbOrhood. Rhvens is
described as of stout build, with n mus
tache, high oheek bones and dark, wicked
eyes. should Rhyens be captured. he
might be prosecuted for perjury in swear
ing that the girl was of age when he got
the license.
