BosToN, May BIN 1862 DR.. Augustus
Franklin came to Nantucket and became a
leading light in society, gaining the esteem
of all who knew him.
He began to court a young lady who was
handsome and well-to-do. He was accepted
the bridal preparations were made, tne day
was set, but the doctor appeared i'll at ease.
He seat word to his betrothed that the
wedding could never take place Before
the people of Nantucket could recover from
their surprise he sold out his profitable bust
ness and left Nantucket.
Sixteen months later he returned. At
tached to the card which told the public
of his return to practice was the announce
ment that he would resume the family
name of Franklin Augustus Ellis
This change of name created sensation,
but his business increased, and he made
money. He had, however, become addicted
to the use of morphine. So firm hold had
the habit upon him that he died from its
effects in Worcester, Mass, May "a, 1884.
His remains now lie in the cemetery
there. He LETT will by which three sisters

The sisters attorney, George II. Newton,
of Monson, who visited California last Oc-
tober, CHANGED to meet Mr.. E. M. Cleve-
land, former acquaintance of DR.. Ellis,
who told the attorney greatly to his sur
prise, that the doctor had been married in
1860 to one Martha Pity, daughter of a
wealthy widow of Sayles, Ala, by whom
he had one daughter.
On May 5, 1851, the doctor suddenly de-
serted his wife and her mother, taking with
him the proceeds of the sale of the latter's
plantation, some $4,000, and was never af-
terward seen by them.
Mr.. Newton secured the assistance of o.
E. Hall, of Collinsville. Ala, who in Jan
uary last, succeeded in tracing the long
lost daughter to one of the nsnining"
districts of Tennessee.
She was scantily clothed, and her appear
ance indicated that she had been subjected
to all the drudgery that could be imposed
upon her, and that she had practically been
the slave of an old eccentric "moCnshiner,n
although her character was above suspicion.
She told Mr.. Hall that her mother had
been dead about eleven years. She was
brought to Collinsville, where she was at
once identified by her aunt owing to her
striking resemblance to her mother
The clergyman who married Dr. Ellis and
several witnesses of the marriage have been
found, and steps will be taken at once to
secure for the young lady her rightful share
of her fathers estate

WASHINGTON, May GA good story is
told on Supt. Nash, of the railway mail
service, who has just rendered his resigna-
ton. Fault has been found with him
because his desire for an efficient service led
him to be very slow in making removals.
In the early part of his Senatorial career,

friend to ask the removal of Republican
postal clerk.

hing asked Nash. None, except that he
is a Republican" said the Senator. 81

a rule in force here" said Mr.. Nash, THAT
no clerks are to be removed except for
cause, and | cannot comply with your WISH
Senator" Bate turned in a dazed way and
walked out, and the friend from Tennessee
who had come i'll to be impressed with a
sample of Senatorial power, whistled and
then said: "Well. I'll be id, Bate, if |
was United States Senator and couldn't
get Republican postal clerk fired out, I'd
resign, and go home and get elected Justice
of tine Peace"

are several queer things connected
with his departure from here last
fell. 1t is said that two of the ex-
rea ing clerks children have been seen
in Montreal recently Soon after Moloneys
departure, his son sent postal card to the
proprietor of st. Lawrence Hall Hotel, say
ing that MS father was In Paris. Although
Moloney had been living al this hotel, the
proprietor is still puzzled to understand
why that postal card was sent to him. 1t
is also remarked as strange that man so
well known to New Workers has not been
seen or heard from about Europe. 1t is
said by some people here that Moloney is
now not very far away from Montreal, and
ttat the negotiations pending between
Keenan, and District Attorney Fellows
brought him home in a hurry.

A Little Previous.


From the Binghamton Republican.
A couple from across the border came to
the city yesterday and stopped at one of the
best hotels. The young lady was plainly
but neatly dressed, and was a handsome
brunette. The young man stepped up to
clerk after having escorted the lady to the
parlor, and asked where he could find a
minister. as he wanted to get "spliced. y
Upon being informed, the clerk handed him
the pen to register.
81 don't want to register now" said the
young man; ''wait until after we get mar
ried, then | can write it Mr.. and Mrs. -
THAT don't make any difference said
the clerk, las long as you are going to get
married"
The youthful swain stepped up to the
desk, took the pen, looked it over carefully,
and then at the register. His face grew
red, and he hesitatingly inscribed: Joseph
Link" upon one line, and upon the next,
MRS. Lolita Link. all of Scranton"
II wonder what she would say if she
knew it" he said in an awe-struck voice,
and then hurried out in search of clergy
man. The inscription was soon legalized.
