ROLLER RINK RDTTENN ESs,
A Roller Rink "PrOfessOr" Elopcs with Il
Seventeen Year-Old Victim.

Two weeks ago, Ira Ball, the manager of
the skating rink at Monroe, Pa, eloped
with Miss Jessie Carr, the seventeen.year-
old daughter of rich widow. Ball had
been paying particular attention to the
young lady and Mrs. Carr objected. She
forbade her to visit the rink, and one night
astonished the skaters by walking into the
rink and tearing her daughter from Balls
side. The girl refused to 60 home, and the
mother then took her up in her arms and
carried her away bodily. She was locked up
in her room but found means to commune
cate with Ball. He secured ladder and the
release Of his sweetheart and they were
married at midnight in neighboring town.
Mrs. Carr finally accepted the situation and
took the couple home. Nothing marred
their happiness until young woman with
a six-months.old child appeared at the Carr
mansion and created decided sensation by
announcing herself also as Balls wife. She
exhibited marriage certificate showing
that Minnie Ballard and Ira Bali were mar
ried in Providence, R. l., on July 4, 1883.
Ball denied ever having seen the woman
before and declared that it was an attempt
to black mail him. The WON VI procured
warrant for his arrest hut he disappeared
before it could be served. Mrs. Carr offers
$1,000 reward for information which will
lead to the arrest of Ball. Since his depart
ure some interesting facts have been made
public, which are not an entire surprise to
some people. Ball has been very intimate
with other young ladies, and made prom
ises OF marriage to them. He has handsome
dark features and talks very smoothly. On
his arrival at Monroe he Immediately be.
came favorite Of the ladies. Several big
brothers and irate fathers are anxiously
awaiting the return of Mr.. Ball. The af.
fair has created the biggest sensation in the
history of the town.

THE d. l. r. G. STRIKE.
All Peaceable SO Far-The Company's
Property Under Guard.

The strike of employees Of the Denver
& Rio Grande Railway is about in the
same position in Desrer lis reported on
the sth. That morning the men employed
at Pueblo and Alamoso Joined the strikers,
who are everywhere peaceable but reso-
lutte. All property of the road has been
placed in the hands of the United States
Marshal, who has placed large number
ofdeputies at all important points to guard
the company's property. All passenger
trains are running as usual, but for want of
trainmen only one freight left the yards on
the fifth. Two or three arrests have been
made for interfering with employees. At
a meeting of strikers that afternoon the
matter of guarding the property of the
company during the strike was discussed,
and the sense of the meeting seemed to be
that no violence should be used and the
strictest watch be kept on property to pre-
vent damage by evilly.disposed persons1
Mr.. Oakes, Union Pacific workman, ad
dressed the meeting. He said the sylnya-
thies of both the Union Pacific and Jurl.
ington roads were with the strikers and
the employees of these roads had inormed
the officials thereof that if they exchange
freight with or show any sympathy for the
Denver and Rio Grande, they will at once
have a fight on their own lands. The
OF the public seem to be with
The railroad.

AN IDAHO MURDER.
DIR. 4. j. OCallasl,an shoots and Kills
Thomas Breen in Cold Blood.

From the Blacktoot and Eagle Rock pa
pers we learn the particulars of murder
committed at Blackloot last week. The
DIR. OCallaghan mentioned lived at Dill
Ion for while and practiced medicin, at
Bannack for over year.
Dr. f. J. O'Callaghan, having been drink
ing heavily ali day Wednesday OF last
week, was in such state of inpxication
when night came, that Thomas Breen, an
honest, hard-working mechanic, went to
the doctors house to take care OF him.
About o'clock on Thursday mornin.
O'Callaghan sent Breen tc Shannon's sa-
loon for bottle of whisky; returning with
it, and while he was just outside the rear
door of O'Callaghan's Office, the latter shot
him through the windcS, firing twice, one
ball entering the left BREAST and penetrat-
ing the heart, and tle other in the left arm.
DR.. O'Callaghan had had some words
with Breen durins the afternoon, in which
the former abus&d him for certain state
nents he had nade concerning that which
his (Breen's) e'idence would be in case
pending in tie District Court, in which the
causes out Il which it had grown, the doc
tor had bone an important and discredit-
able part and of facts within the KNOWLEDGE
of Breef which he desired to be kept con-
cealcd
DYING the entire afternoon DR.. O'Cal.
lagl~n had been parading the streets going
from place to place, and threatening in Il
volent manner to kill several different per.
ons.
The most intense excitement has pre.
vailed ever since the killing was done, and
the feeling against the murderer is bitter in
the extreme.
The Blackfoot Herald says: "Never has
It been our painful duty to chronicle a
more cold.blooded and wanton murder
than this"
The murdered man was peaceful and
lnottensive citizen and respected by every
body, and his untimely death only serves
70 render the feelings of the citizens of
Blackfoot more intense against the coward
" and brutal assassin who took his life.

COMMODORE GARRISON.
Generous Tribute of New York par.,s r.,
the Dead apitalist.

The New York papers give from one to
TWO columns of tribute to Garrison, in
which his San Francisco career forms a
particularly luminous part.
The Snm says: The Commodore was a
conspicuous man in San Francisco from
the day Of his arrival. He entered with a
zest into the affairs of the city and made
hosts of friends. In six months from the
day Of his arrival the Commodore was
Mayor OF the city. The reign of Garrison
is yet proud memory for old 'Friscans.
They are fond of telling how the Commo
dore took the reins of government. put the
c'ty's finances on sound basis, closed
every gambling den in the city, stopped
Sunday performances at the theaters, or.
ganized public school system, got the
City Council to authorize the building of
school.houses, advanced money out of his
private purse 70 build them more expedi.
tiously, founded the first school for co!ored
children ever established, and gave every
dollar OF his salary in equal proportions to
the Protestant and Catholic charities.
These and many other remarkable Incl.
dents are related of Mayor Garrison's ad-
ministration, and to the day Of his death
San Francisco never forgot her early chief
magistrate.
The WoyM says: He laid the founda-
tion for the success Of many rich capital
lists. The wealth of ID. O. Mills, w. c.
Ralston and Lloyd Tevis, as we'll as that
Of many others who became ,nillionaires,
was in measure created by his cooper
ton. 1t is said that when the Commodore
visited Frisco in 1860 it was the occasion
of demonstration of esteem and affection
on the part Of its citizens such as commun-
tiles rarely show individuals. Its citizens
We'd with each other in hospitality towards
the old Mayor.
The Herald's account says: Garrison
subscribed largely to the exploration Of the
route for Pacific railroad, to the fund for
the overland telegraph line between San
Francisco and New York, and to every
measure looking toward the advancement
OF commerce and the development of the
Pacific Coast.

4 Mothers Awfll Crime.

At11 o'clockon May 5th, at Newark, n.
j., Lucy GilcIrist, wife of John Gilchrist,
while insane from drink, seized her six
months OLE baby, and placing it on block,
chopped is head, neck and body with an
AK, killi.g it instantly. Another of her
childre gave the alarm, and the neighbors
rushed in, but too late to save the baby.
The woman is without doubt insane. She
say. she did the deed because the spirits
tod her to do SO, and because she wanted
t, save Ireland. When her husband ar
rived, soon after the child had been killed,
i was with great difficulty that he was re-
strained from attacking his wife. The wo-
man is 80 years old, and has three remain
ing children, aged respectively II, II and
:. She was taken in custody.

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.
Position of the United states in Case of
War.

There are interesting rumors current
among Europern ENJOYS at Washington
touching the degree Of neutrality the
United States will maintain in case of war
between Russia and England. 1t is a re.
ported that an understanding exists be-
tween our Government and Russia, sim.
iliar to that Of 1850, when Russian
cruiser came into the barber OF Eastport,
Maine, when war between Russia and Eng.
land seemed inevitable and remained there
three months, until the differences were
amicably adjusted. While at Eastport the
Russian ship refitted comfortably and was
provided with aigh-power battery Of
modern breech leaders and crew from
Russian ships sent from home stations for
that purpose. Vice Admiral Williams Gore
Jones, then naval attache of the British
League, discovered what was going on
and Sir Edward Thornton, the British Min
lister, protested, but without any result at
the time. AS there was no war, nothing
more was said by her Majesty's represent
tative about the incident. The question
under discussion by the foreign represen-
tatives here is, "Wil America permit the
Russian Government to repeat the act,
and If SO, what will England do:" They
point to the fact that Palmerston peremp-
torily refused to allow the Confederate
cruisers, "Alabama," " Shenandoah" and
"Florida' to even take coal in any English
port during our war. If Russia is permit
ted to have the same privileges in Amer
lcan waters as our own war ships, then
why not those Of England?
