Eloped with a school Teacher.

A NAN RUNS AWAY WITH HIS wIFE's SAVINGS
AND THE GIRL SHE HAD BEFRIENDED.
A telegram to the New York Sun from Flem-
ington, n. j., August 14th, says: Hunterdon
county is agitated over an elopement. Dick
Sked, 40 years old, lived with his wife and only
child near RingOes, in the lower end of the
county. Mrs. Sked is a school teacher, and for
years has supported the family by her salary.
Three or four years ago she took fancy To one
of her pupils, Maggie ]. Woodruff, 3 years old,
the daughter OF respectable, Woodworking
parents. She took Maggie into her family and
supported and educated her. Last spring Mag
gle became teacher herself but still enjoy ed
the hospitality Of the Sized family on Saturdays
and sundays. Dick was very kind to Maggie,
driving with her to her school, several miles
away, every Monday morning and going for her
on Friday afternoons.
When vacation came Maggie spent part OF
the time ut the house of Mrs. Sked and part of
her time at the home of her father, Gideon
Woodruff, near Pennington. Last week Mrs.
Sked left her and Dick to keep house, while she
went on u VISIT for a few days.
On last Saturday morning, after Mrs. Sked's
return, Dick and Maggie started of in wagon
together, Dick telling his wife he would take
Maggie to her fathers and return by noon.
Noon came but Dick didn't, and Mrs. Sked be-
came uneasy. 1t was found that the couple had
driven to Three Bridges, in this county, LETT the
conveyance, and taken passage for Bound
Brook: From that point 1t is not known which
way they went.
Maggie will be seventeen years old in Oc-
tober. She Is prepossessing in appearance, and
has pleasing manners. She took with her
every article OF clothing and bric-a-brac belong
ing to her. and Sked took S4OO OF his wife's
money.

LACK OF SCHOOLS AMONG PENNSYLVANIA

\. Tribune says: In every breaker i'm the an
thracite coal fields are employed boys ranging

result Is mat the boys grow up In Ignorance.
The legislature, to put stop to this, passed q
law last winter forbdding the employment in
any breaker of boys under fourteen. This
throws out OF work in this county alone some
1.4OO boys. The purpose Of the new law is to
take the boys out OF the breakers and put them
to school. But now a difficulty arises as there
are not enough schools. Those in operation are

SPECIAL AGENT JUDD DISMISSED.
what commissioner Wright, OF the
Labor bureau, Says About the Case.

Col. Wright, the commissioner Of the labor
bureau, to-day had the appointment Of c. p.
Judd as special agent of the bureau revoked,
because of his recent arrest in Colorado on the
charge OF horse stealing and his admitting his
quit, and also that he had served two terms in
a penitentiary for the same offense. Judd was
recommended by Senators Teller and Bowen,
ex-senator G. NJ. Chilcott, Representative
Powell, of Illinois, Lee Crapdall, Judge Geo.
Goldthwaite, Of Lake county, Col; L. s. Moore.
H. w. Green, Of st. Louis, and D. NJ. Beara, OF
Hamlin, Kansas. Col Wright said this morn
ing mat he did not believe that any OF these
gentlemen knew of these facts in Judd's career.
lhey had been careless in making recommends
tlons that they could not vouch for, and 1t was
THIS careiessness of public men that he pro-
posed To check If possible, by publishing their
names whenever an unfit appointment was
made. He said that Judd had been urged for
Inc Inc position OF commissioner of the labor bu-
reau, ana when he failed to get the appoint
ment ne became an applicant for an agent s
position. He had been at work for a couple Of
months, and had sent in reports of what he had
done, which shaved that he had done very fair
work None OF the material furnished by Judd
would be used
In regard to the other agents, Col Wright
said that as far as he knew they were all men
OF good character, and if they were not he
probably would have heard of it. These agents
report each week, and so far they have been
doing very good work.

The st. Louis Globe Democrat SAYS as coming
from a high official, that the absorption of the

only part OF Il scheme to make the New York
Central and Pennsylvania companies masters
OF the situation in all future agreements be-

the approaches to New York from the west

threatening attitude toward the weaker lines
and to fortify their position strongly enough to
resist attacks from rival companies They
have matureda plan for a division of territory
and railway property, which stands at the head
OF all previous combinations to crush out com
petition.
In this arrangement Vanderbilt is to have
another trunk line between New York and
Chicago, and one between New York and II.
Wabash for its connection. The plan is 10 give
the whole Of the eaSt-bOund passenger traffic of
