Michael, a reporter on the paper, on
Friday eloped with Miss Fanny Pau
penney, the 16,year-old daughghter Of
a leading Carondelet family. The
pair went to Belleville, ILL.,, where an
application for marriage license was
refused, owing to the youth OF the
young lady. The reporter then had
the hardihood to telegraph to the girls

The fashionable world of Europe is
greatly interested in the approaching
nuptials OF the Duke of.Aosta to Prin-
cess Letitla Bonaparte. The idea of
the Prince marrying his own niece is
novel one, to say the least, but on
account of stated reasons the Pope has
granted his PERMISSION to this strange
wedding. The Princess has already
begun to receive many presents from
her noble friends. AMONG them is a
rare fan presented by the Empress
Eugene. On it is drawing made by
the late Prince Imperial, birthday
present to the Empress in 1875. The
fan is incrusted with diamonds and is
valued at 100000 A former admir-
er of Princess Bonaparte, the Prince
of Naples, eldest son of King Hum
bert, has taken aphotograph OF tho
prospective bride. He is said to b(

circumstances attending the per

of circumstances which finally fast
ened the responsibility for it upon
Young Maxwell, as well as for the
persistency OF the efforts repeated
over and over again to eXtricate
him. Fully two years have been
spent in the endeavOr to set aside
the verdict, and the case was taken

the invocation Of home or foreign
influences to move the executive Of

day before the execution that the
Governor finally declared there
should be no further delay and that
