FRANKLIN, July 15.-Union, about three
miles south of this place, has been all agog
over an elopement since last Saturday
night. Philander Mullikin had. for more
than a year, been paying his very serious
attentions to Miss Ella Flynn, the daughter
of Thomas Flynn. a well-to-do and most
highly respected farmer. The relatives of
Miss Flynn very much objected to the
course which the young lady was taking,
alleging that Mullikin was shiftless and in
clined to be reckless. But it was the old,
old story; each pinned for the other. Miss
Flynn attended a party on Saturday
evening, accompanied by her father. two
sisters, and a brother. She escaped the Wig.
lance of all, and by the assistance of
friends was hurried away to her waiting
lover. They went, so it is supposed, to Ken
lucky where they doubtless were married.
Within ten minutes after Miss F1ynn's es-
cape officers were notified and were on the
lookout, but they failed to even get track
of the fleeing pair.

in the passage. 1t just shaved the femoral
artery, and was cut out from the abdomen.
1t was fully a minute before Cunningham
knew he was shot, making one trip into
the postoffice before he felt any pain. The
ball was thirty-eight calibre, and it was
completely fattened on top by striking the
bone. There is but the slightest chance Of

Sullivan would not be allowed to take the
belt until he had deposited $1,000 with Fox

From inquiry. it is safe to say that the

would win, but there is always a feeling in
favor of the contestant representing home
