STOLE HER SISTERS HUBBY.
Miss Meyer Fell In Love with Hin
While on Her Vacation.

Miss Moyer Fell In Love with Him
While on Her Vacation.
Boycrtown, Bcrks county,is stirred up by
the elopcment of n leading business man
with his sister-in-law. The runaway cou-
pie are Jacob X. Fried, Il shoe manufac-
iurcr, and Miss Kate Meyer. Fried is
the father of two children, and is about
thirty wears of age. The woman is twenty
five, good looking, dresses in style and
wears gold eye glasses. She has considcra-
bic money of her own, and is footing the
expense of the elopement. She had been
spending her vacation with the family Of
Mr.. Fried, at Boyertown, and was in his
company most of the time. Her sister sus-
pected nothing. She thought Mr.. Fried
was only trying to make her visit pleasant.
Last week Katie bade the family farewell
and went to Reading. She put up at the
Hotel Penn. a few days later Mr.. Fried
told his wife she ought to take IA vacation,
too, and he arranged to bring his family
on n visit to his sister In Reading. He
went tn Reading with her and loft again,
saying he was going home, but instead he
met Miss Meyer, and they lcit the city
together. Mrs. Fried notified the district
attorney and his officers discovered that
the couple had eloped. They took with
them two big trunks of clothing. An effort
will be made to intercept the couple and
bring them back. Their trunks were
checked for st. Louis, and the police in
that city have been notified to look out for
them.

Been Wei Paid For Concessions.
In the controversy between the Western
Union Telegraph company and the post
master general, on tho part Of the govern
meni II is claimed that its business should
he done at cheap rate because the com
pany has received incalculable benefits by
its occupation of post roads. In reply the
president of the Western Union company
SAYS that the act of 1896 referred 10 by Mr..
Wananaker did not and could not give the
company the right TO plant its poles on any
hut lands actually belonging to the govern
ment. DIR. Green says:
The railroads are post roads, as well as
some of the highways, and u the govern
ment gives us the right of way ON pos,
roads. why should we have 10 pay the
railroad companies for IL? We have to
contra,t for our rights of way from the
parties who own them, whether railroad
companies turnpike and plank road com
pnnes, or individual landowners; and In
case of streets and highways we have to
obtain license from the city county or state
authorities, or condemn under authority
of state laws
The act to which you refer gives the telc-
graph companies accepting II the right To
take stone and timber from the public
lands, and to pre-empt and enter not eN-
cceding forty acres for each station. we
have never needed to use any stone; and
since the passage of that act the railroads
across the continent have afforded ample
facilities for transporting cedar for poles,
which is more durable and economical
than the native timber Asto pre- enpting
forty acres OF land for station, we have
found that wherever telegraph station
was needed there were no unoccupied
government lands. II is true, therefore,
that we have never taken "A stone or stick
Of timber, or appropriated foot of public
land under that law.

postmaster general to regulate tolls Is
limited by the constitution TO n Just compen-
sation for the service required, ana that
Just compensation must cover the actual
cost Of the service. He adds:
! still insist that the government Is our
most favored customer, and that the
rate for government service during the
past five years, considering the character
of the service, is lower than that given TO
any other patron.

A MYSTERIOUS wEDprNG.
SAYS lie Was Forced to Marry n womsl
IJe Never saw Refore.


lie Never saw Before.
The history Of mysterious marriage
was filed with the clerk Of the superior
court in Chicago on Thursday morning,
and the matter will come up In the usual
way, to be heard In the divorce court.
Robert B. Mitchell is the complainant,
and he SAYS he was forced into q peculiar
marriage. On the 18th day Of last August,
he says. he was nj the depot To take train
for Evanston when two men, claiming ~
be detectives, accosted him aud said there
was man al the Avenue house In Evans
ton who very much desired To see him.
Against his viii, the bill alleges, Mitchell
was conducted TO that place. where he met
one McCord, who informed him that he
would be compelled Ia return with the
party to Chicago and marry n woman
named Anna l.. Callis TO this proposition,
II is asserted, the plaintiff objected strenu-
ously, but in vain. The detectives claimed
to have the power TO arrest him, but upon
what charge they did not say.
Accordingly, he returned to Chicago the
same day with McCord and the detectives.
lie attempted to escape after leaving the
train, but they held him and conducted
him by force to the Clifton house, u IL
alleged. McCord then left, with one of
the detectives, ~ he said, for marriage
license and minister. The woman was
broup ht in, and for the first time, II is
said, the plaintiff set eyes upon her. lie ran
To the other door to escape, and found the
other detective on guard. Presently, the
two who left returned with the minister
aud the license, and the ceremony, It is
charged, was performed against Mitchelfs
will and In spite of his protesiations. Then
Inc was permitted to depart, which he did,
never seeing the woman aftorward. An
affidavit accompanying the bill gives the
womai's residence as Martinsville, Ind.
The prayer of the bill is that the court
declare the marriage null and void.

An inspector of the Fidelity Mutual Life
