A MAIDEN'S MISERY.
An Expectant Bride Deserted by Her Afh-
anced-A Race for a Train.

LOUISVILLE, KY, August 2.-Ahraham
Goldburg and Miss Annette Makubalsky
were to have been married at noon Friday, at
the residence of the brides parents, No. 119
East jefferson street. 1t was arranged that
the groom would drive to the house in a car
riage and there meet his affianced. At the
agreed time the bride was decked out in her
bridal attire, and the preacher was in wait
ing. The bridesmaid and groomsman were
also in attendance, but the clock struck -
and still the groom had not put in an ap-
pearance. The time wore away into the af
ternoon, and yet no sign of GOldburg. The
bride grew restless, and two of her friends
who were in attendance volunteered to go
out and hunt up the laggard lover. They
started out to explore the cause of the delay,
and turned in First street. They
had gone but a short distance when
a carnage wheeled down the street
with solitary male occupant They
recognized him as the groom, and pursued.
A head was thrust through one of the win
dOws of the vehicle, and word was spoken
to the driver. Immediately the horses in
creased their speed. 1t was evident that the
vehicle was bound for the Short Line depot,
and race between the carriage and the foot
men was made for this objective point. The
carriage landed an easy winner, and the
groomsmen came up just in time to see the
Cincinnati train crossing First street, with
Goldburg as one of the occupants. The
groom has not been seen or heard of since.
His fight was reported to the bride, who was
prostrated with grief, and has continued
very i'll ever since.
The Indiana State sentinel., 1885-08-05

he came near the door opening into the
yard, man-presumably the one on the
roof-dashed in and ran to the front of the
house. Adams started in purtuit, and the
thief, who had reached the vestibule, held
the inside door shut while he opened the
front door. With jump he left the honse,
Adams in pursuit for half block, firing his
revolver four times as he ran. The man
escaped. The clothing of the women was
very badly torn.
The names of the three young women were
Ella Il. Slaugh, Annie Eakin and Ella Baines,
the latter from Philadelphia. Miss Slaugh
was completely prostrated by the shock. She
was carried into the house in comatose
condition, and DIR. Franz was summoned.
He found that her temple had been cut, and
that she was badly bruised. Though Miss
Eakin sustained a severe nervous shock, she
escaped injury. Miss Baines was not hurt.
The affair is looked upon in two lights by
the neighbors. One is that the assailants
tried 10 smother the girls until they could
rob the house. and the other, which finds
more credence, that it was a deliberate and
bold attempt to abduct the young misses

WASHINGTON, July 31.-Hon. Frederick
Hoover received his instructions to-day and
departed for his home in Remington, Ind.
He will move 10 his post of duty August 10.
OF all the Indian agencies his is the most re-
sponsible, the largest bond being required.
The agency is one in which Secretary Lamar
took particular interest, and under the cir
cumstances it may be regarded a high COM
pliment 10 Mr.. Hoover.

bounced" at the instigation of Congressman
Afatson still continues subject of the live

ious TO behold the Republican officer in
whose case the election last fall actually
meant change. The story of his distress is
being wired 10 every section of the country.
The Indianians are expecting Hon. Joseph

several days.

A TERRIFIC CYCLONE
On the Delaware River-The steamer Maier
Eeybold Wrecked and Immense
Damage Done.

PHILADELPHIA, August "A terrific cy-
clone, sweeping up the Delaware River this
afternoon, struck this city near Greenwich
Point, demolishing portion of the works of
the Pennsylvania Salt Manufacturing Com
pany, and injuring several employees. 1t
then took course across the river, wrecking
the river steamer Major Reyboid and the
ferryboat Peerless. The storm blew the
pilot, Emory Townsend, and Captain
Eugene Reybold, of the steamer Reybold,
into the river, drowning the former and
painfully injuring the Captain. The Peerless
was swept clean almost to the waters edge.
When the Major Reybold left her dock for
Salem, n. j., she had on board about fifty
passengers, although, as no tickets had been
sold, it is impossible to ascertain the exact
number. There were also about fourteen
officers and deck hands. OF this number OF
people on the wrecked boat, it does not ap-
pear that any lives were lost, except that of
the pilot, although it is not impossible that
some of the passengers were washed off and
lost without any one knowing of the fatal
circumstance,
a steam tug coming up the river after the
disaster, reports that the body of woman
was seen for few minutes floating i'm the
river near the spot where the cyclone struck
the steamboat but she sank out of sight and
could not be found when the tug made search
for her.
b. H. Warner, one of the passengers, de-
scribes the scene. He was standing on the
upper deck and saw the black storm ap-
preaching, but as it moved rather slowly,
he supposed it was a rain storm.
When il struck the boat he discovered
that its immense force came from
its rotary motion. He and several others
were thrown through hole to the lower
deck, and all the upper works were swept
away. The confusion among the passengers
was indescribable, and several of them
jumped into the river, but Mr.. Warner be-
lieves that all of them were rescued. While
the cyclone was upon the vessel every
thing was as black as the blackest night
Sofas were broken to splinters and carpets
torn to shreds in the cabin as if they had
been paper. The cyclone, he thinks, lasted
about minute, and after it passed the YES
sci rolled and pitched frightfully in the
great waves, and came near swamping.
The storm then passed over to the Jersey
side, striking John Dialogues ship yards,

WAR FOR A CERTAINTY
viii Occur With Russia Should Tory Ma
jO1y be Elected.
The Salisbury Cabinet Preserving Peace, to
Gain Time, Against Their Predilections--
Close Relations Between the India
ONCE and the War ONCE.

LONDON, August 2.-Advices from st.
Petersburg, Berlin, Vienna, Paris and Con-
.tantinople all point TO the certainty of war
if Tory majority is returned to Parliament
at the next election. Churchill, referring to
the Central Asian question, declares that the
Tory leaders will be neither cajOled, nor de-
ceiyed, nor frightened by Russian tactics,
but intend to preserve peace to gain
time to make the northwest frontier
of India absolutely impregnable
against any Russian army. This
statement admirably defines the Anglo-Rus-
sian situation. The Cabinet against their
personal predictions are preserving the
peace to gain time. When they are ready
if still i'm office, the mask will be thrown off
and war invited. The one flaw in the pro-
gramme is the provoking freedom preserved
by the Russian generals to bring on a con-
fict, whenever and wherever they think
best. Churchill chafes under what he des-
ignates a situation gravely compromised.
The Queen and country have been pledged,
he declares, and positions of incalculabe
military and strategic importance irrevoca-
bly, ceded to Russia. The Liberals were
not fighting government. They said in ef-
feet we can do nothing, we are not a mill
tary power. If Russia would oblige us bv
annexing the British West India Islands, we
should know how TO take it, The admiralty
would be up and at 'em in less than no time
but as it is we can only threaten and pro-
test The Tories take a different view They
argue that am empire containing Just four
times the population of Russia and its an
nexatiOns, and with vastly more money and
facilities for waging war at command, ought
to have no real difficulty in the time of need
in raising fonr times the military strength of
Russia. They say it is a mere question of
cost, resolution and necessity.
Under the new regime the India office and
War office have been brought into unusually
close relations of Late. One of the first dis
coveries Churchill made on taking the India
Office was that nothing effective in the way
of military preparations could be done
without the energetic cooperation of
the Horse Guards. Under the Liberal
Government the relations of the two de-
partments become painfully strained. The
military element were enraged at the
shilly-shallylng of the political heads and
settled down into a feeling that under their
management future events could bring moth
ing but ruin and disaster to British ,,arms.
The advent of fighting Lord Randolph to the
India Office and practical William III. Smith
TO the War Office put life into everything, and
the style in which the money Childers was
good enough to provide for Tory spending is
melting away, would break the grand old
old mans heart, could he get behind the
scenes once more, if but for one hour.
