An Alleged Abduction.

Considerable excitement was caused in
Port Deposit by the alleged abduction
of Malde Stebbing aged Is years by her
sister Bertie Stebbiug, aged probably
about p years, on Saturday of last week.
The girls are daughters of Mr.. Jesse
Stebbing well-known butcher of Port
Deposit. Their mother died when Maude
was only two years old. She was taken
into the family of Mrs. JoEn Atkinson
widow lady of Port Deposit where she
has since lived and been treated as one
of the family. She was seemingly per-
iecty satisfied and content.
Bertic Stebbing, since the death of her
mother, has made her home either in
Philadelphia or New York, wishing Port
Deposit occasionally. She went there
about five weeks ago, AMI insisted on
taking Maude away with her, that she
might go to an uncle named Robert Nc
Cartney, who lives in Illinois, and make
her home with him, but there was so
much objection made by Maude and the
Atkinson family, who are very fond of
her, that she left without accomplishing
her mission. On Friday of last week
BERTHE came again, and on Saturday
morning, under preteXt of going to visit
their mothers grave at lIopcwel Gene
terry, induced Mrs. Atkinson to allow
Maude to accompany her. She immedi-
ately took Naude to the railroad station
and bought tickets for Philadelphia. No
uneasiness was felt until night came and
the couple did not return, and inquiry
at the railroad station and of the train
men elected the fact that Maude had
been abducted by strategy and taken to
Philadelphia, and how much farther is
not yet known, but it is supposed that
the uncle, Mccartney, who desired the
possession of Maude, met them in Phil

The temperance question is claiming

The following strange story is told by
one of our most reliable citizens lie
says: ''Some tine ago about o'clock in
the morning, as he was on his way to
work at the rolling mill at North East, a
female figure arrayed in white appeared
at his side, spoke to him anl talked to
him for brief space, and then suddenly
vanished ont of sight. Then he became
alarmed and returned rapidly to his
home" Some say it was some person
trying to scare him. This he denies.
however, and says the apparition told
truth is stranger than fiction.
The young people of the classic row
have organized a select singing circle.
This is step in the right direction, and
