AN ELoPEMENT FRUSTRATED.

The Bourgeois boys were In the city yestcr-

were anxious to have vengeance on Il young
man named Medley whom they sought in vain.
Then a romantic story leaked out. II WAS as
fOllOws:-The Bourgeois homestead is on the
Helotes, and among its inmates was II pretty
girl just budding into wOmanhoOd. Some time
ago young man named Medley came TO the
settlement and did odd jobs there. He met
the maiden and their acquaintance ripened in
to love. Medley wanted to marry the girl, but
the friends objected and forbade all further
acquaintance, limiting that IL he didn't stop
fOOling round the girl he would attend his
own funeral. A few days ago Medley left and
came TO San Antonio, and on Tuesday night
the girl was missed She was tracked and
found walking, on the way to San Antonio
being then ten miles from home. She con
fessed that she was on the way to San Antonio
to marry her lover The girl was taken home,
and the Bourgeois boys came on TO see Nee
ley. At first they wanted him arrested for
abduction but that charge wouldn't stick.
They then proposed to get summary ven
geance. If the brothers and lover meet in
their present state of mind, It Is possible that

There is a large-siZed rumor afiOat to the
effect that couple Of wide awake take-care-of-

luted democratic ticket, have entered into a
combination, offensive and defensive, with
two men running on the Peoples ticket to
pot" And this rumor has wildly excited all
the other candidates upon both tickets.
The general impression Is that the vote of
the Knights of Labor will be thrown away in
consequence of their inability to unite upon
certain men and their incurable proclivity to
disagree and split up. Nothing but union of
sentiment and concentration OF votes will
avail to defeat the ticket put forth by the ring,

A GROSS IMPOSITION.
A Remarkable Story Told by Woman
Who Begged in San Antonio.

few days ago a woman. accompanied by
two children, was seen begging on the streets
of San Antonio. She told pi'itul story; she
was widow, without home or means, and
was anxious To get TO Northern Texas. where
she thought friends would provide for her.
Many were asked for charity, and while some
decltnedt TO assist. number gladly gave. Ere
the morning passed her pocket contained sd.
Other contributions came in the afternoon
and at night she left for Waco. At the depot
another woman, who apparently knew the
beggaT mother, Joined her. At Waco the
woman was seen. with her children, crying in
front Of the Union hotel. A samaritan sym
pathiZed with her and drew from her the fol-
lowing remarkable story:
My name is Mrs. Militia Mcintyre, and was
born and raj sed in Illinois under my maiden
name Turner. | married and came to Texas,
settling in Travis county, 10 miles from Aus
tin, where lived with my husband and two
children. On Wednesday, week, n friend
named Mrs smith came TO me and told me
that my sister, living in GOliad. was dying.
and urged me to 20 to her. | said that had
not the money, but she agreed 10 loan me
what ! wanted and to accompany me.
My husband consented, aud drove us
to Austin. We got in the train there, and
understood that she had tickets for San Anto-
MO. After we had started, Mrs. Smith gave
me little money and told me to say that was
all we had, when the conductor came round,
and he would carry us through | did as she
told me, but the conductor would not take me
and the chileren through, and Mrs. Smith paid
our fare to San Marcos. On arriving there,
Mrs Smith told me that IL wanted TO get 10
my sister ! must take the children and 20
round begging. | refused to do this when she
took the children and went around San Marcos
and raised Il good sum Of money. We then
came to san Antonio and made another good
raise. Then Mrs Smith told me that my sister
was dead and proposed that we should make
our fortunes by taking the children on the
streets and begging In every city. At nrst
consented, but have now realized the folly
and shame of the conduct, and | want To 20
home to my husband but have not the means.
This story seems like fiction but is confirmed.
The woman Is now in the hands OF City
Marshal Moore, and he will send her and
children home. Mrs. Mcintyre is evidently
woman of weak intellect. and Mrs. Smith Is
old, ugly, and apparently not strong in mental
capacity. She confirms Mrs. McIntyre's story
and says that she had no intention OF inJurinR
her, but simply did what she has done, in or
der that both could make money which they
needed
