WASHINGTON, June 10.-The fact that the
leaders of the House have agreed upon June 26
as the day to ba set for the final adjournment of
the first session of the Forty ninth Congress

that anything can be done with the tariff bill at
this session. In the present state of business 1t

ELOPED WITH A WIDOW.
He First Met and Loved Her at Her De-
parted Husbands Grave.

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, January 12.-Kate
Kirscher is a young widow who has kept q
millinery store in this city for some time.
She is a young and handsome brunette,
and carried on successful business. Her
husband died two years ago, and she de-
cided to erect a tombstone in his memory,
employing Kern Brothers, of State Street,
to do the work. William Weis, a young
married man in the firms employ, super
intended the erection OF the monument. In
this way he was thrown into contact with
the handsome widow, and the acquain-
tance, begun in business conferences rela-
tive to the monument, rapidly developed
into mutual admiration. They nave met
frequently since that time, and this has
caused trouble between Mr.. Weis and his
wife.
In the week preceding Christmas Mrs.
Weis visited the millinery store to remon-
strate with Mrs, K~irscher, and. it is alleged.
found her husband there. A scene followed,
in which a policeman interposcd to pre-
serve peace, but everything was finally qui-
eted down and no arrests were made. On
Christmas day Weis disappeared from
home and has not been seen since. Mrs.
kirscher has also disappeared and has not
been seen since Christmas day. 1t is al
legged that the couple were seen together in
the New York Central Station. No traces
OF their whereabouts have been discovered
up to the present time. Weis left his fam
lily destitute.
