PURSUED BY A LOVER.
Pitiful Plight of a Pretty Italian Girl Who
Does Not Want to Marry.

Does Not Want to Marry.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TIN pIsPArcH.l
BEAVER FALLS, February ga case of
q somewhat romantic nature in which was
shown the villianous intrigues of a rejected
sutton and the persistent persecution of an
innocent young girl, came up before Burgess
Piper, of this city yesterday.
Late Friday evening Frank Azara, an
italian, accompanied by a fellow country
man, called upon the Burgess, whom they
requested to issue a warrant for the arrest of
a young girl who, they alleged, had ran
away from her home in Wampum, and was
now living in this place.
An officer accompanied the Italians to the
house of a highly respectable family, where
the girl was found and Immediately taken
before the Burgess, to whom she told a story
that seems incredible, and which has sub
sequently turned out to be true. The girl
is quite intelligent, very progressing in
appearance and is hardly 18 years of age.
While relating the circumstances of her
leaving home and her arrest, she wept Bit
terly, and unhesitatingly related how her
parents had wanted her to marry the
italian, Azara, and how she had refused and
was followed by the latter, who on several
occasions threatened to kill her If she re-
fused and held o~utagainst his and her par
ents' wishes.
Unable to further endure the treatment.
she left home and came here, where she
secured employment and was living happily
enough when discovered by the italian,
who trumped up a charge against her for
the purpose of getting her back home. Her
story was s~ubstantiated by other witnesses,
and the Burgess allowed her to return to
her friends here, and refused to permit the
Italians to take her back to Wampum.
Yesterday Azara telegraphed for the girls
mother, who came down and after much
difficulty succeeded in getting her daughter
back to her home. The girl being under
age, the Burgess was powerless to prevent
the MOI her from taking her back, although
he threatened to have the whole gang ar
rested. Azara is unable to talk English,
but has plenty of money, while the girls

PHILADELPHIA, February 3.-An offer
has been made for the dynamite cruiser
Vesuvius by an European Government, and
if the United States Government or the
contractors shall not take the vessel Messrs.
William Cramp & Sons will dispose of her
at a price far in excess of the sum named in
the contract entered into with the United

The Cramps are not in a position to accept
the offer, as the cruiser has been partially
accepted by the Navy Department. The
members Of the firm refuse to disclose the
name of the nation which made the offer,
but the italian Government is supposed to
be the one, inasmuch as the Cramps are

THE LEGISLATIVE APPORTIONMENT
Likely to be Postponed Until After the Next
Censns IL Taken.
fFRoM A STAFF coRREspoNpENr.l


rFRoM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT
HARRISBURG, February 3.-The House
Legislative Apportionment Committee is
not a unit on reporting a Senatorial appor-
tionment bill at the present session, in view
of the fact that the national decennial GEN.
sus will be taken mex year. Chairman
Pugh, however, argues that inasmuch as
the CONSTITUTE on at least makes it mandate
ry on the Legislature to try to pass q bill, an
attempt ought to be made. The lateness of
the apportionment, which others use as an
argument against making one, he uses as an
argument in favor of doing SO. "It may"
he says, 'be just as long after the next CEN
sus before a bill can be passed, and the
House should at least do its duty and place
the responsibility of failure on the Senate"
In the Senate there is considerable oppo-
sition to an apportionment bill being passed
now, and there is likely to be influence
brought against it sufficiently powerful to
cause it to fall.

rFRoMA STAFF CORRESPONDENT

HARRISBURG, February 3.-Members OF
the Legislature who remained in town to-
day expressed great interest in the Alleghe-
ny charter matter. and the bill, when placed
before the House in printed form tomorrow
night, will be closely scanned.
Though it was broadly asserted on Friday
that the Allegheny delegation Is a unit on
the matter, it is now known that it is not,
though when the members come together
again the declaration may have become a
fact. Even the Allegheny City delegation
was not united in pushing the bill so rapid
ly, and some of the other members claimed
that they had not been consulted.
Senator Rutan, who remains here, has
been flooded with letters from home on the
subject, and is answering them as rapidly as
possible. As this is a work of time and
labor, and as there seems to be much con-
fusion of mind concerning the entire sub!
ject, he makes this statement for the bene-
fit of those who are anxious for immediate
information:
A PLAIN STATEMENT.
81 fear the Allegheny taxpayers do not
generally understand the situation here.
The charters of "A cities were declared I'M
constitutional bv the Supreme Court.
Twenty-three of these cities have agreed
upon a charter which will be passed finally,
probably this week, in time for the Febru-
airy elections. Some of its provisions 1 am
sure will not suit the Allegheny people, and
as these cities control ten times as many
Senators and Representatives than ALLIE
gheny does, it will be impossible to amend
the bill against their wishes or to de-
feat it, and it would be neither fair nor
right to do so, as these cities are suffering
for legislation. Allegheny must accept the
provisions of this bill or be placed in the
second class. There is no alternative. We
have had here the Presidents of both
branches of Allegheny Councils, with the
City Solicitor and leading members of
Councils, all insisting upon the passage of a
new bill which meets many of the objections
of the old one, a bill that is declared con-
stitutional in its provisions, and which
places Allegheny with Pittsburg as asecond
class city.
ALLEGHENY MUST CHOOSE
Councils decided by an almost unanim-
GUS vote that Allegheny should become q
city of the second-class, and Messrs. Lind
say. Hunter, Watson, Kennedy and CITY
Solicitor Elphinstone have assured me the
bill would have the approval of nine-tenths
of the citizens of Allegheny. Representa-
tives in the Legislature always look to the
Mayor and City Councils for information
and guidance in city matters, unless it is
apparent that the popular sentiment is over
whelmingly against the city authorities. No
such sentiment has been shown, or at least
it has not been made apparent here. If all
legislation affecting Allegheny City was de-
feated, she might perhaps get along for a
year or two, but that is very doubtful. The
Supreme Court has commanded her to
choose now between two classes of cities. L
hope this matter will be settled before it
comes to the Senate. Citizens have the same
right to be heard as committees of Councils,
but thus far none have appeared"
