SHE LOVED THE VALET.
A Sixteen Year-0ld Heiress ElOpes, Marries,
Is Forgiven and Will 60 to Europe.

New YORK, July 21.-Emma Thompson, the
sixteen-year-old daughter of wealthy Broad
way tailor, with her three sisters and mother
went to Garrison, on the Hudson, early this
summer to spend the season She was still in
short dresses, but was bright and fine looking
George Coats, aged thirty, young Englishman
who is employed as valet to gentleman in this
city, was at the same hotel, ard, forming an ac-
quaintance with Miss Thompson, met her clan
destinely frequently. These meetings led, on
Friday last to an elopement Coats taking the
girl to Peekskill, marrying her there, and then
bringing her to clearinghouse in this city
Mrs. Thompson had no idea that her daughter
had acquaintances at the hotel and her failure
to return Friday night caused great alarm. 1t
was finally learned in the village that she was
seen last in company with man. Detectives
were employed and the couple were finally dis
covered. Mr.. Thompson accompanied by an
officer, went to the house, and when he saw
Coats attempted to assault him. He was re-
strained, and the whole party taken to the sta
ton house. There the father gave way burst
ing into tears, and an affecting scene followed,
which ended in the daughter securing forgive
ness for herself and Coats, and the father agree-
ing to send them to Europe for wedding trip.

ANTI-SALOON REPUBLICANS.
Call fora National Meeting-Purposes Of the
Proposed Organization.

NEW YoRK, July 21-Albert Griffin, chair
man of the organizing committee of the anti
saloon Republicans, has issued a call for con-
ference to be held in Chicago on Sept. 16 1t
says:
Each State is requested to elect four times as
many delegates and alternates as it has senators
and representatives in Congress, and Territories
can send as many as they would be entitled to if
they were States. The promoters of this move
ment believe that as the Democratic party has
become the protector of the saloon interests,
the Republican party ought, as a matter of
right become the avowed champion and de-
fender of the home against the saloon. 1t is not
intended to ask the party to commit itself ma
tionally to or against any specific law, but to
announce as its settled policy that it will every
where strive to reduce the business of dram
selling and the evils resulting from it as much
as possible-each State to decide for itself, from
time to time. what laws are best adapted to
secure the end in view"
The call further says that more than onehalf
of the Republican members of the Senate and a
large number of congressman and party leaders
have expressed themselves in favor of this
policy. During the past two months arrange
ments have been made that insure delegations
from nine States to-wit: Kansas, Illinois, Mich
igan, New Jersey. Vermont, Massachusetts.
New Hampshire, Maine and Rhode Island, and
it is hoped that all the Northern and some of the
Southern States viii be represented.

Brief Remarks by Push and Eoar, and
Lengthy Speech by Logan.
To the Western Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, July 21-Mr VanWyck, in
presenting another batch Of Knights OF Labor
petitions in favor of land bills and the Oklahoma
bill. read a letter from Joseph Beaumont. chair
man of the legislative committee of the Knights
of Labor, by whom these petitions have been
sent to SO many Senators, stating, in response to
Senator Vests remarks yesterday. that these pc
titions we're genuine, and were sent to him eithef
directly or by authority Of the persons purporfr
ing to have signed them, and, further, that thcy
were expressly authorized and sanctioned by tha
grand general executive board of the order in the
United States.
The Senate then, at noon, proceeded to consid
Grafton of the report in the matter of the election
of Senator Payne. and was addressed by Mr.
Pugh in an advocacy of the position taken by
himself, Mr. Salisbury, Mr. Vance and Mr.
Eustis to the effect that there had been no ez-
preston of belief or suspicion on the part Of
any member of the committee to the effect that
Mr.. Payne was connected in the remotest
degree by act or knowledge, with anything
wrong, criminal or immoral in his election, and
that no further investigation of the charges
should be made. He criticised the views of the
minority (Messrs. Hoar and Fryel, and argued
that they were in conflict with the precedents Of
the Senate in former cases OF similar character.
One remarkable feature in the report Of tha
minority was that. after declaring the Senate to
be court which would have to hear and pass
upon the title OF Mr. Payne to his seat, they mad
dumped on the Senate all the trash and filth
that could be scraped up from Democratic news
papers and anonymous letter-wrters in regard
to the means employed to secure Mr. Payrss
election. Could it be that the minority believed
that such stuff would have any weight IN the
minds of Sepatorsl 1t neyercould have . feath-
er's weight on the Senate. He had merely de-
sired to present the case briefly, and now IN The
names of seven of the nine members OF the cora-
mittee on privileges and elections he moved that
that COMMITTEES be discharged from further con-
sideration of the subject.
Mr.. Hoar addressed the Senate IN support OF
the views of himself and Mr. Frye, recommend
ing an investigation Of the charges. Such In
vesticaton, no argued, was due to Senator
Payne, because it conld only mako 1t appear
that the suspicion which all Senators veto so
eager to remove did not rest upon Lin person.

KNIGHTsTowN July 2l.-For the third time
In the history of the institution the Soldiers
Orphans Home at this place has been destroyed
by fire. The first Tina was in 1867, whom it was
known as the Soldiers Home; the second was in
1877, and this afternoons fire completes the
third. Nothing remains but the bare walls and
heap of smolderng ruins within. The fire was
FIRST discovered at about o'clock by smoke issu-
Ing from along the caves of the north side
Of the main building, near the chimney leading
from the kitchen 1t is the prevailing opinion
that the aue was defective and that thus the fire
originated and had been in progress some time
before being discovered. The seeming contra
dictiou to this theory is that the chimney is still
standing ana in perfect condition. Very fort
unately, at the time the fire occurred the larger
number of children were in different parts
Of the grounds, engaged in their after
noon sports, which prevented much
confusion and perhaps loss of life. The num-
Der of children regularly belonging to the home
number over 800 but to-day's enrolment only
reached lT0, the remainder being away on yaca-
tioD. No lives were lost and none, SO far as
learned, received injuries Most of the clothing
that of the employees was entirely
lost The private library of Superintendent
Morris, the library belonging to the home. and
three-foarths of the furniture were destroyed.
The estimated loss is between $780, 900 and $780,
O0O insurance $25 600, 800 600 of which is placed
in Nixons agency at New Castle, $500 in the
North American, and g.. 500 in Morgan 6 Wag-
ner's agency at Knightstown.
The desks have been removed from the Home
school building, and this will give ample tempo
rary accommodation for the children. Friends
and relatives of children, who are able to pro-
vide for homeless ones, will be called upon to do
SO for the present.
Superintendent Morris is attending a conven-
ton of representative benevolent organizations
At St Paul, and has been telegraphed to return
at once.
No attempt, save the throwing Of few hand
grenades, was made to extngush the fire, owing
to an entire want Of hose. Within few feet of
the building is a cstern of eighteen hundred
barrels capacity, with steamforce pump, but
aot . foot of hose could be found.
