not dated. He says he will go to work on a
farm and conceal his identity, until he can
save money enough to fight the case. when he
will give himself up. The reward of $500 Of
fered by the governor has been supplemented
by another of $500, offered by the brother of

ALABAMA,

A Montgomery special has tho following
About a week since young girl, prepossessng
in appearance, arrived in this city in search Of
work. She had bnt little money and knew no
one. Her efforts to secure employment as a
seamstress or house girl were unsuccessful and
She became utterly respondent, being unable
to pay longer for humble lodgings. She left
her room, and wandered aimlessly about the
street, last night until late hour, when she
entered house of i'll fame kept by Cora
Spaulding, and was given welcome ana shell
ter. The case was investigated today
1t appears that the girls name is Ella Har-
rell. She is about eighteen years old, and says
she is from north Georgia, but will not give
the exact location of her home. Two
years ago, her mother, who was
a widow, married again, and her
Step-father, whose name She will not give,
ill-treated her, Two months since her mother
died, and her step-father began to prosecute
her and she finally determined to run away,
and came here last week. She says she has
always been Virtuous and respectable until
want and inability TO secure work drove her
TO seek refuge in this house of sin. She is
Mortified at her brief experience and desires to
leave the place.
Her case viii he reported to some society
and efforts will be made to secure home for
her. The girl is educated, and her appear
ance indicates that she has been respectfully
raised. She will give no information in re-
gard to her step-father beyond the fact that he
is farmer in north Georgia.

From the IaGrange, Ga, Graphic.
From gossip picked up about the streets last
| week, We printed little item in the Graphic
to the effect that the young people OF Troup
Factory had danced al night IN church!
from music furnished by a strolling band of
musicians. Mr.. G T. Freeman. Of that place,
was in town few days since, and from him
we learn that no such dance took place, that
there was no "stroling" band Of mu-
siciams there, and further that the
young people would be far from using a church
for such purpose AT any time. We are glad
TO make this correction on so excellent an
authority as Mr.. Freeman, and assure him
and all others in that neighborhood that we
had no intention Of doing them an injustice,
but printed the item simply as piece Of news,
coming, from what we deemed a reliable
source. On making inquiry we learn that the
young people out there are among the best and
most moral in the county, and we are sorry
the report was given currency.
The clopment Of Mrs. Dimsdale, with Mr..
Harper, both leaving large families has ended
both in tragedy and comedy. Mrs. Dimsdae
was coInely woman, and thus attracted the
attention Of Harper, who led her from the path
appeared, the deserted husband promptly
entered suit for divorce, and in order to lose
no time pending the decision of the case, at
once began paying court to eligible young
ladies in the neighborhOod
wo weeks ago, news was received from
Culberson, n. c., stating that
strange woman had been abandoned
there by her supposed husband;
that she was i'll with typhoid fever, and
that in her rawlings she constantly spoke of her
children in Cherokee county, Ga Later
news came that she was dead, and
that her name was Mrs. Dimsdale. 1t seems
that her betrayer had taken her across the
country, subiecting her to many hardships Of
travel, and that when she became sick,
away. from home and at his mercy, he de-
serted her. The mysterious disappearance Of
Harper's family one night a short time ago,
suggests that he must have returned home,
and spirited them away to a new home, where
his misdeeds will not rise up against him.
This ends the tragedy Of the elopement right
where the comedy begins.
Mr.. Diulsdale heard Of his truant wifes
death without regret. Satisfying himself that
she was really dead, he at once proceeded to
the courthouse, had his suit for divorce taken
off the dockets, and returning by the home of
Miss Sarah Halcombe, insisted upon that lady
at once filling the dead woman's place. 1t
did not take her long to consent, when Squire
Lyon was called in, and the twain were made
one. The affair has been the cause of much
excitement around Background.

in speaking Of the occasion Of the Nation al

Road probably brought in more people than
any other. Altogether 1t Is estimated that
from June 16 TO 10, the period Of the excur-
sion rates, over $4,000 strangers came to
Chicago over the Burlington" This was
exclusive Of suburban passengers and
mostly in addition to its heavy regular pass

Union Stock Yards Reports show the Bur-

number Of cars brought in by 1t during the
first six months of the years 1885, 1887 and

half Of the year 1858, Notwithstanding the
temporary depression caused by the recent
great strike on its lines, WAS 24,425, or but

Two children were on the street, the

elder said TO the younger: 'iou don't

"Yes, do" said the little one.
"Well, you shan't have it, for it Is
mine"
Men and women are like these chi..
dren.
"You do not wish TO vote, do yorf
1t is a dirty business. not fit for you"
say the men.
'Yes, we do" say the women.
But you do not wish for the higher
education of colleges and technical
schools"
"Yes, we do. We wish to use the
talents God has given us.
you do not wish for any voice in
the church,"
Eyes, we do. For two-thirds to
three-fourths OF the church are women.
and their money is freely given to build
churches, chapels and parish house.
and all missionary work is greatly aided
by them. They make sacrifice of time,
ease and recreation Of both mind and
body, of which few men have any con.

But in reply men say: 1--WE are
stronger than you, and besides, all
these things are already ours, and
might is right"
Sometimes person owning house

as If men give us the privilege, az L

church; that is, we do the most work,
and live in the attic of spiritual life,
and they claim all other duties and
privileges. This is some mems idea
