THE ORRlNGTON ELOPEMENT.
More about the Runaway Pair Arreste,
In This City.

Edward +. Hartman and Mrs. Enoch
night, and who eloped from Bangor as stated
in yesterdays Journal, were much surprised
when visited by the officers in the train. They
were taken to Jail, where they remained for
several hours until the arrival of the 9 o'clock
Pullman. An officer informs US that the wo-
man seemed to control the young man, and
he WAS of the opinion that she had lured him
away. While at the station she dropped her
was well dressed. Here is what the Wing of
Friday said about the affair:
Mr.. Enoch Richardson was Yesterday the
happy head of as happy and comfortable a
household as Goodale's Corner, Orrington,
contains within its limits. His family con-
sisted of a wife, who was looked upon as one
OF the finest women in the town. church
member, and to all appearances happy in her
family relations, having an affection tie and
confiding husband and two fine chill
dren, a boy and girl, respectively eight
and four years of age. Her age and that of
her husband is thirty four
She has been in the habit of coming to this
city on thursdays 10 10 take lessons IN music,
and came up here yesterday in pursuance of
that custom, stopping with an aunt She
sent word to her husband that she wished to
stay all night and wanted him to come up for
her in the morning But it seems that some
thing wrong was going on, in connection with
4 young man named Edward +. Hartman,
aged twenty-four, a neighbor and friend of
the Richardson's, who made his appearance
here yesterday, and the wife, turning her
back on her family, went with Hartman to
the Pullman train, on which they started for
Boston. Fortunately they were seen by a
brother of Hartman, who at once took a team
and notified MIR. Richardson. He at once
put the matter into the hands of Sheriff c..
ID. Chapman. who had just time before the
arrival of the train at Augusta, to send dis
patch to the marshal of that city to arrest
them If on the train. Mr.. Richardson, who
is prominent and much esteemed citizen of
Orrington, is plunged into the deepest grief
by the unsccountable and mysterious action
of his wife, and he will have the deepest sym
pathies of his townspeople, to whom the news
will come like thunderclap.

by the razor blade was found to be an ugly

The LABOR PROBLEM

A small group of railroad laborers were
discussing the labor question on 8 street cor
ner yesterday. They concluded that there
was nothing but servitude and slavery for
the laboring man. Only dollar day on
the railroad and rainy days deducted. The
average number of DAYS worked in any
month, without making any allowance for
sickness, would not exceed twenty days,
which would amount TO $50 per month.
Board and washing at the lowest estimate is
81 per week or SIC per month, thus leaving
81 per month as the laborer. saving, which
would not clothe him, to say nothing about
laying up something for a time of sickness.
One said that people told him to get hold of
a piece of land, but if such persons would
consider his earnings they could readily see
he could not save enough to buy lot in the
cemetery, and considering the wages at 81 a
day his argument is unanswerable.

DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES.

The Democrats held primary elections
yesterday afternoon at the different wards of
the city. At late hour last night only two
wards could be heard from and these were
no; obtained at the Democratic headquart-
ers. In fact the Democratic headquarters
appeared not to have been open to receive
the returns. In the First ward but nineteen
votes were cast and the delegates elected were
Robert Carson, Robert Jacks and L. A.
Peckham.
In the Fifth ward the highest number of
votes cast was l6, eleciing J. Blake Russ, j.
NJ. Roberts and J. S, Fletcher. In this
ward no arrangements were made for an
election and al a late hour few got together
and elected delegates without n conference
with the committee. II appears that the
election throughout the city WAS known TO
but few and a number Of Democrats were
surprised when Intercepted about the re-
sui, of the election as they had either for
gotten it or had not heard Of it at all.

Secretary Mitchell informed a reporter
yesterday that he is receiving fees for en-
tries very fast, and that the horse stables are
all engaged, every stall of which has been
taken. The cattle sheds are nearly all taken,
and il is now certain that the facilities of the
fair will be strained to the utmost TO accom-
modate the stock.

THE GREAT HuMORlST

Prof. Phelps, the great humorist, held
full house in wrapt attention at Woodman
hall last night. No ladies were present
The performance was warmly appiaud"d on
several occasions. As soon as the EAGLE
reporter took his seat the professor got
wfo.hv and pitched into him be-
cause he did not argue the question with
him. The little squib headed "Anti-God
Lecture seems to have worried him greatly.
The reporter had neither time nor space to
argue the question and simply referred to
his aidculous positions, not supposing for
moment that bis criticisms would worry the
great expounder.
The performance last night was, if pos
sible, more ridiculous than that Of the. pre-
yious night. He began BY saying that be
WAS not in the habit OF opening with
PRAYER, but he read prayer from book
which be stated WAS supposed to have been
offered by King David, and then proceeded
to do it up in his usual faultless style. he
objected TO the sneers of the EAGLE, but his
whole lecture, or whatever it may be termed,
was nothing but sneers at the Bible and the
belief of Christians from beginning TO emo
He reviewed what he called the "scheme oil
salvation" and proceeded to batter 1t up IN
a sniteful manner. Instead of treating
grave subject gravely, he did it in the most
ridiculous fashion, his object being to pro-
duce a laugh. which he did very successfully
by such comparisons with what the great
majority of the people believe, as
horse eating key of railroad
spikes and dog eating a bone. Afler
knocking the Christian ship to smlthereens
! he brought along his own craft to carry the
passengers in lifes voyage to haven OF rest.
The inf.deIs sscheme Of salvation" which Is
his, is to pull through the world the best way
you can, doing what you please if you can
steer clear of the law, because no matter
how wicked your life, if you evade the
| clutches of the law your chances when you
! die are equal with the most righteous. You
| simply lie down and die like beast and that
is the last of you.
| II will be observed that there are features
of great popularity in this scheme. In short
the whole craft from stem to stern and keel
to truck Is a bulwark of strength and Is
about the thing the people have been hang
ing back for His humorous yarn about God
having turned Adam out into the blackberry
patch to begin farming was very profound
argument against Christianity and must
have struck the audience as being about the
correct thing, and then the funny act about
Adam inventing the grub hoe brought down
the house The whole matter was treated
50 logically and in SO respectful and pro-
found manner that it would be unjust to
sheer a. it. At the close of the performance
he invited all in sympathy with his ''scheme
of salvation" TO come up to the desk and
sign the roll, but no one we 1t, at least while
the reporter was present. He also invited
those who felt like it to contribute some
cash TO further the scheme, but nobody
seemed to feel like it.

WAS THE FIRST WARD BALLOT BOX
STUFFED.

At the primary election yesterday the
votes in the ballot box of the First ward
did not ge-haw with the tally sheet and it is
rumored that the Democracy, with the rul-
ing passion strong in death, are al their old
tricks again and could not resist the tempts-
ton of playing siuifins little even III their
own election.
The story goes that one of the candidates
fixed up the ballot box and repaired t" the
polls and found himself the ohi, cii>t"Gia'
of the election outfit. Two good old d.m>
came along and elected thu candidate jndg''
of the election and the ceremony com
menced. Now all IN GIT have been well
if it had not been for he tall, sheet which
did not compare very fav"raby with the
vote in the box and left the candidate and
Judge Just one vote more than WIS voted
If it comes to an investigation 1t Is more
than probable that the delegate will lose his
party standing for if there is anything that
hurts a Democrats reputation it Is the inpu-
tation that he has performed bungling job
of ballot box stufling. We hate to see an
aspiring Young Democrat go down but the
votes are against Bob Carson in this matter.
