A MIXED CASE.
An Alleged Elopement Which Possesses Many
Elements of Uncertainty.

New YORK, Oct. ga special from New
Haven, Conn, says: ga strange case, contain
ing many elements of uncertainty is that of the
recently-reported elopement of Miss Mamie
Donnelly with w. A. Mcdowell, of the Yale
class of 1884, Miss Donnelly is handsome
brunette of twenty three, and was employed as
cashier in a Photographic gallery here Nc
Dowell is distant relative of Henry Clay, and
a nephew of Major general Mcdowell The
rumor created much talk in college. and some of
the students telegraphed to Louisville to have
the rumor confirmed or denied Mcdowell at
once telegraphed an obstinate denial to certain
New Haven papers and asked them to publish
it. Soon after, young man, calling himself
j. A. Atherton, Of ST. Louis, visited local
editorial-room. and acting professedly as a
friend of Mcdowell. asked that the rumor
of the marriage be denied. At first he protested
a willingness to deny the marriage over his own
signature, and then he came again and wanted
nothing saiG about the matter. Miss Donnelly's
relatives insisted that she had been married to
Med DWELL, and that they had seen the marriage
certificate: Yesterday story was published in
Hartford paper to the effect that an unnamed
female friend of Miss Donnelly had told re-
porter that Miss Donnelly and Mcdowell were
not married. She said that Mcdowell went to
ST. Louis, whore he is now in business, and that
Miss Donnells visited him and demanded that he
should marry her. He refused to do So and a
stormy scene followed She then returned East
Miss Donnelly has not returned to New Haven,
nor to Hartford. The Hartford story is gener
ally disbeleved, being regarded as the work of
McDowells friends. Miss Donnelly's relatives
still insist that she is married to Mcdowell She
has always been regarded as a modest and vir-
tuous girl and McDowells course is strongly
condemned here"
A Louisville dispatch says: young Mellow
ell, who is greatgrandson of Henry Clay, was
this morning seen by Times reporter, in this
city, where he is clerking in an iron house, and
he wrote out the following statement:
F" The Associated Press dispatch In regard to
an asserted marriage of myself to Miss Don

takes or falsehoods. / graduated at Yale in 1885,

time that was a student I was personally &C.
quainted with the lady named, but there is not

at any time married, nor is there any fact to

patch referred to entirely inventions and

other accident las happened ON the new
Croton a1ueduct. 1t occurred early Monday
morning at shaft No 3, and resulted III the
death OF four men and the probable fatal
injury OF "a fifth. The men were de
scending to work in one OF the
buckets used for lowering them down the
shaft. The start was made all right, but be
fore the bucket had descended many feet
the cross beam, or chilly" as it is called,
caught in the shaft and remained fastened
till the bucket had almost reached the bot
tom of the shaft when it shook loose ana
came crashing down distance of over lOo
feet on the heads of the unfortunate men
below The following men were instantly
killed: Francis Carr, single; Frederick
Dresser, single; Lorenzo Dobbins, married,
leaves wife and family at Hibernia, n
j. Patrick Moran, married.
John Baardmap. the other unfortuate
man, will probably die of his injuries. When
the cross beam struck the bucket he was
knocked out, but in his descent fell on
shelving constructed near the bottom and on
the side of the shaft. This in all probabil-
ity saved him from instant death.
The dead men present shocking sight
Three of them have their heads crushed out
of all resemblance, and but for their cloth,
ing their recognition would be wholly I'M

Moran. OF the four, however, Francis
Carr's death was the most horrible. When
struck by the falling beam he was knocked
from the car and fell headlong to the bot
tom of the shaft, repeatedly striking the
sAles in his descent. His body was mutt
lated beyond description, having been cut
into little pieces,

Pens and Ink Worth Recommending

We have been favored with samples of
the celebrated Spencerian Double Elastic
steel pens, and after trying them feel
justified in highly commencing them &c
our readers. They are made of the best
steel, and by the most expert workmen,
and have a national reputation for GERS
tain desirable qualities which no other
pens seem to possess in so great perfcc-
ton. Among these are uniform evenness
of point, durability, fexibility, and quill
action. So popular have they become,
that of the Number One" alone, as
many as fourteen millions are sold an
nually.
Complaints are constantly made of the
difficulty in getting good ink. Probably
in some cases. the durability of the inks
of little consequence writing has
done its work in an hour or two; but, i
should be remembered, occasions con-

Every Possible Preparation Being Made

VuLALDAMA, Mex, Dec. S-A CORE
spondent of The Chicago Times telegraphs
from here as follows The inhabitants are
intensely excited over the prospects of an
immediate conflict between the state forces
and the revoutionists. Acting Governor
Sepulvada came in from his mountain hid
ing place Saturday afternoon. He is II
light-haired blue-eyed man. 40 years
of age, short, stout, and good ma
tured, and looks as though he was fairly
out of place as a military leader. As secre-
tary of state he was in his element, but since
his elevation as acting chief executive of the
state he has been entirely dependent upon
his subordinates Adjt Gen Antoine Ca
males has directed the movements of the gov
ernor This vicinity is thoroughly loyal to
| the cause of the state government. Urgent
appeals have been sent out by carriers to
every little town and ranch, calling
| on the friends of the state administra
tion to rally to the support of Mauro
| Sepulvada His present force numbers 400
men. Recruits, horses, arms and ainmuni-
ton are hourly arriving Every possible
preparation is being made to successfully
combat the revolutionists, who are expected
| in force at any moment under the leader
ship of Rodriguez. 1t is reported that his
| forces number 500. The situation presents
most serious aspect The eyes of not only
the state but of the entire republic are cen
tered on the town of VilallIuna, in anticipa-
ton of the occurrences of the next
| four hours. The prestmo and CONSUMPTION
are being worked by both parties. Manuel
Rodriguez, while at Garcia, raised between
81, 900 aud $1,000 from the inhabitants--en.

country forcing men into his service. The
agents of Acting Governor Sepulvada at
Iampasas, Bustamente, and the other towns
in the northern part of the state are press
ing men to take up arms in his behalf
From this it will be seen that matters are
fast coming to crisit. When the Mexicah'
resort to their time worn revolutionary
tactics it is sign that they mean war to the
bitter end-that they have drawn the sworc
and thrown away the scabbard.
