and Sister from Marrying.
LOUISVILLE, May 2l.-A telegram from
Mrs. Eliza George, living ten miles from
this city, to Chief of Detectives Bligh, this
morning, asked him to arrest Madeline
George, 6 years of age, who had eloped
with Robert Stevens, Jr., a neighbor Is
years old.
The young couple was arrested in a JUS
tees office, where they had gone to be mar
ried. The boy said that he and Madeline
were desperately in love with each other
Six hours later Mrs Eliza George came to
town with her face flushed with excitement.
Twenty years ago, the woman said, her
father died, leaving her his farm and several
thousand dollars on condition that she never
marry. Before and after the old mans
death Eliza had been asssiduously courted
by Henry Stephens. The young woman
loved him, but under the provisions of her
fathers will, could not marry.
At last Cupid provided way and Steph-
ems and Miss George were married under
the names of A. Goodman and Sallie White.
For three years they lived together, two
children being born to them. They then
separated, Mrs. Stephens taking her maiden
name and the younger child, whose name
was Madeline. She returned to her cou try
home, while Stephens took the eldest child,
whose name was Henry. Some years later
Stephens gave up his business in LOUISVILLE
and moved to the country, buying farm
adjoining that of Mrs George
The children grew up together without
knowing their relationship, and soon became
desperately in love. The parents tried to
separate the children, but without success.
Madeline and Henry finally eloped, and
their arrest just in time prevented a union
between brother and sister.

The Mt. Olivet Tribue thinks"the

its efforts to unvaIl the natural re-

that the work of the press is
confined exclusively to words,

hands and waiting for Northern cap

gobble up and grow rich off the iron

That's the way the Pennsylvanians
did, and that is why Pennsylvania
is so rich and powerful to-day. The
words of the press, be they ever so
earnest and eloquent, can accom-
plish nothing so long as they fall
upon deafears. II seIt-interest can
not move people to their own adj

the candidacy of John w. Castle
for Congress.
We do not objectto allowing suf-

dates to simply announce the can

tom of opening the canvass almost
a year before the electiop, and con,
tinualIy urging the cigsiIms of can
didates for nomination. The dis
cord and dissention which has char
acterized the conventions Of this
district of late, and caused the ulti-
mate defeat of the nominees, is the
result fthis early and vigorous ag-
itation of the various candidates..
During the spirited canvass which
precedes the convention there arts

GUS candidates feelings of enmity

and unanimous agreement upon
