A Sensational Affair at Auburn,
N

A tremendous social sensation is now
raging at Auburn, n. u, over the copcment
Of Mrs. ID. Erastus Corning, the young and
pretty wife of n son OF the wealthy shoe
manufacturer. and ID. Morris Kurtz, the
Auburn correspondent OF the Syracuse
Sunday Herald. Mrs. Corning has prob.
ably contemplated this step for
some time, as she had removed nearly
all her belongings from her home
and shipped them to Syracuse. Her
mother.in.law. with whom she made her
home. told a reporter that she also missed
all her sons jewelry and diamonds and
$3.50 in gold. Kurtz is an old flame OF
Mrs. Corning's. Since her marriage Mrs.
Corning had not seen kurtz with the
knowledge oi any of the members OF her
family. The eloping couple arrived
at Elmira from Syracuse and reg.
istered at the Frazer house AZ
D. NJ. Taylor and wife. New York. Later
the man purchased tickets for Chicago.
The couple took roem at the hotel and
nothing unusual was noticed until early in
the morning when Syracuse detective
arrived accompanied by the girl husband.
The room was watched until kurtz and
Mrs. Corning mads their appearance. The
eloping wife took matters very coolly but
was soon induced by her husband to re.
turn with him to Auburn. kurtz remain.

A Pretty Washington Super
StitiOn.

A pretty young girl, who belongs to
what is called the "White House set"
and who has met nearly all OF Mrs.
Cleveland's visitors. said to WASH
ington correspondent ut n recent re-
ception: at would be easy enough to
know what an awfully nice girl Mrs.
Cleveland used to be just by meeting
the splendid girls that come to visit
her. Nobody could have such lot
OF delightful chums unless she were
just as nice rs she could be herself.
And these are not the sort OF girls
that come to see her because they can
visit at the White House. They love
her and would 20 anywhere to spend
u day with her. l hear, though, that
pretty little superstition is all oat
among her old sclioomates that the
best of luck always follows these visits
to Washington. Several OF the girls
that have been down here have got
married since their return home and
all the rest OF them are engaged. The
girls think it is better than finding %
four-leaf clover, ami those who have
not been here are crazy to come"

He slept most oi the time. passing from

imperceptibly from that to death last
Saturday morning without struggle.
William Wilson Corcoran was the richest
man in the District Of Columbia. His
great start as ~ capitalist was made dur.

ernment bonds when they were far below

The Decline Of Duelling in the
South.

The Savannah Morning News bears
encouraging testimony to the change
that has taken place in public senti-
ment OF late years on the subject of
dnelling. "Public opinion" says the
News, overwhelmingly condemns duel
ling, and the number OF those who ad-
vocatc ordeiend this relic of barbarsm
is constantly decreasing. The time
when men tried their causes by the or
deal OF battle. or by walking over red
hot ploughshares, has long since
passed away, and durlling will soon
he among the customs OF the past in
all intelligent countries. The idea of
turning question OF veracity, or any
kind OF dispute or snarl, into a ques-
tion OF courage cannot long survive in
this age ofprosress and common sense.
About the only question duel can
settle is the fact that the participants
in it have less regard for the enlight-
! encd Christian sentiment OF the day
than for the promptings of q misguio-
i ed and foolish pride"
1t is now a felony i'll Georgia, as it is
in nearly every other State in the
Union. to send or receive a challenge
or to aid in any manner in duel and
the man who Kills another in O duel is
II murderer in the eyes OF the law as
he is in fact.
There is no reason why the duelling
class alone in this country should ever
have been allowed to make laws for
themselves in regard to homicide
among themselves, and the changed
condition of affairs as respects duel
ling amounts to nothing more, at last,
than stripping OF oneclass OF manslay-
ers of remarkable privilege too long
accorded them, and placing them on
the same footing with other men who
thirst for the blood of their neighbors.
