She Told All on Her Death-bed.

We learn from the GallItzin Tindicdtor,
what some OF our older readers may remem-
Der. that about thirty-two years ago. while
the old Portage Railroad was still in opera
ton, an elopement took place at Summit.
two miles south of Gallitzln. which caused
considerable excitement among the resi-
dents Of that alpine village, which gloried
In the honor of being the summit OF the AL
legheny Mountains. The parties who cre-
ated such excitement among their neigh-
bors were John Matthews and Mrs. Orner,
both OF whom left large families, the only
member OF either family who shared in their
flight being Joseph, little son of the un-
faithful wife.
All track OF the clipping couple was lost,
and their families never heard OF them un-
til about two months ago, when the Mayor
of Pittsburgh was written to by the author
titles at Laconia, y. II, asking about the
family OF Mr. Orner. The Mayor found
Mr.. Zack Orner, son of the woman who
lett her home and family more than thirty
years ago, and he. with sister who resides
at Harrisburg, proceeded to Laconia to in
vestigate the matter. They found that
their mother had died month before,
yious. Joseph. the son whom Mrs. Orner
had taken with her in her flight, was going
under the name OF Mathews, never know
ing any better until bis mother told him of
the elopement with Mathews before she
died, and informed him that she had other
children in Pennsylvania. He is a physi-
clan in good standing, and the shock TO him
can be better imagined than described.
Mrs. Orner left considerable property.
which. when divided among her six chill
dren. five Of whom she left to &C with
Mathews. will give each about $, 600.
After leaving the Summit, the runaway
pair settled nowhere for about year, when
they arrived at Laconia, where they spent
the balance OF their days. never saying any
thing as to where they came from, and this
remained a mystery 70 their friends and ac-
quaintances, and would likely have remaiD-
ed so to the end Of time only for Mrs. Or
ner, before her death, informing her SON
JOseph-sbout her elopment from the SUM-
NIT almost third Of century ago
Some OF Mathews family still reside at
LIly's others at Pittsburg. and the remains
Ger at Harrisburg. Many of these who re-
sided at the Summit at that time, and have
often wondered what became OF Mathews
and Mrs. Orner, can quiet their minds by
the knowledge that they are sleeping 10 a
New Hampshire cemetery, hundreds OF
miles from the once beautiful village OF
Summit, and that little Joseph, whom they
took with them. but now grown to manhood,
Is united with his sisters and brothers. who,
no doubt, mourned his loss through these
long years that his fate remained mystery
