A TRAGIC ELOPEMENT.
An Italian Berry-Picker Killed While
Running Away With q Girl.

An attempted elopement down among q
colony OF Italian berry-pickers below Water
ford, IN the lower part Of Camden county, n.
J., precipitated q bloody ARRAY Tuesday night,
which resulted in the death Of at least one of
the combatants. The Italians are nearly all
from Philadelphia, and they migrate to the
berry districts of South Jersey during the
summer, where they occupied unused buildings
and berry sheds on the various cranberry boys
and fruit farms, living together in communes.
The ARRAY happened at one of these colonies,
between Chiselhurst and Waterford. One of
the young pickers named Michael vinopoli had
become enamored Of Marie, the fourteen-year-
old daughter of Louis Clsbrado, but vinopoli's
attentions were distasteful to the girls father.
Tuesday the berry-pickers celebrated one Of
their national holidays in the fields. and con-
slderable beer and other liquors we're imbibed.
Ninopoh and his sweetheart made love during
the day, and at evening decided to eiope.
The absence Of the couple was soon noted,
and Clabrado and his friends started in pursuit
When near Chiselhurst, the fleeing couple were
oyertaken. As the irate father approached
Ninopoh raised his shotgun and fired the con-
tents into the elder mans thigh.

The Cairo and Vincennes north-bound pas
senger train yesterday met with almost COM
plete demolition miles south of Mt. Carmel,
Ill, in which twelve to fifteen passengers were
seriously injured. The train was running IS
miles an hour. and was composed OF a freight
car loaded with fruit, baggage car. and two
passenger coaches. The freight jumped the

LETTER CARRIERS.
They Protest Against Paying Fare on
Street Railways.

They Protest Against Paying Fare on
Street Railways.
The letter carriers Of the city have been
notified by the consolidated street railway
company that after September they will
havo to pay their fare upon all horse and
cable cars the same as any one else. They
claim that this is at variance with Gu stom in
vogue all over the United States of allowing
Uncle Sans letter carriers the privilege of
riding free on all street railway conveyances.
The letter carriers are very indignant over
the matter as it will consume from one. quar-
ter to one-third of their salaries, or will de-
lay them in delivering their mail. 1t will
cost letter carriers who deliver i'll the
suburbs about SIS per month for car fare.
Some of them are getting only $50 per
month and have families to support Car
rers having routes in the vicinity of Han
scom park, Kountze Place or other extreme
portions of the city will find it almost i'm
possible to walk from the postoffice to their
routes heavily loaded, and yet they cannot
afford to pay car fare.
Mr. Goodrich of the Street Car company,
was seen, and said that the order was made
upon demand of the other organizations of
the city. These men claimed that they were
as much entitled to ride free as the mail car
riers. MIR. Goodrich said that he did not
know of any other city in the United States
where mail carriers are allowed to ride free.
In Kansas City, he asserts, the street car
companies have standing contract with the
government for carrying the mail carriers.
Postmaster Gallagher was also seen. He
considered the action OF the company an in

hard to obtain votes for the company at tho

FOR BREACH OF PROMISE.
Suit for Fifteen Thousand Against a
Wealthy milwaukee Man.

MILWAUKEE, August ga Special Tele-
gram to The BEE. The papers in what
promises to be one of the most sensational
suits tried in the Milwaukee courts have been
filed with the clerk of the county court. The
case is that of Miss Elizabeth Carter against
George Hiles, a well known politician and
railroad and lumber man, and is brought to
recover SIS, 600 damages for breach of prom
Use. The complaint is voluminous docu-
ment of Thousand words or more, and in it
the complainant sets forth very clearly the
cause of complaint, and details very min
utely her life spent as the wife of the aged
defendant. Sne alleges she first became ac-
quainted with him in 1865, when she was in her
nineteenth year. She was then living in the
village of New Lisbon, in Juneau county,
and engaged in pleasant and profitable en-
ployment. Soon after the meeting Mr.
Hiles, representing himself to be an unmar-
ried man, commenced paying marked atten-
ton to hereNpreSSng great personal admira-
tion for her, protesting to be in love with
her, and finally making her an offer of mar
riage. she confesses she was fiattered by
and pleased with the attentions he showed
her, and gave willing ear to his compli-
ments, accepted his offer of marriage, and
permitted him to set the day on which the
wedding was to take place.
Before the day arrived, however, she al
leges, relying upon his promises, believing
him to be a truthful man and q man of honor,
She allowed nun privileges SuCu rs are sane
toned by law only between persons lawfully
welded. He then prevailed upon her to give
up her home, friends and business, and live
with him as his wife, promising as soon as
certain business transactions in which he
was involved could be Strengthened out, he
would fulfill his promise and marry her.
Again. believing him to be man of honor,
she consented, and they lived together
in milwaukee,, Chicago, San Francisco
and other places, as husband and
wife until August 1875, when she discovered
her procrastinatlng husband had another
wife living and she left him to return to
New Lisbon, again to engage in business.
Just two years later she said he again
sought her out, told her that in very snort
time he would be freed from all allegiance to
his other wife, and besought her to assume
her former relations. To prove she still had
confidence in his honor, she consented and
until January, 1856, lived with him. She
found he would not do as he agreed
and left him, and now demands
$4,000 as recompense for her
disappointment, wreck of her hopes ambition
| and prospects in life, and for services rem
dered.
The case will be tried in the circuit court
and in all probabilities attract great dealo of
attention. Mr.. Hiles was recently married
and is now furnishing an elegant residence
on Prospect avenue in which TO live.

A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

Il STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION
The cattle and hog growers of western
Iowa have every reason to be pleased
with the announcement made that the
tolls between Council Bluffs and the
South Omaha stockyards have been ar
ranged on basis of four dollars car
load. The order takes effect at once,
and shippers will not fail to take advan-
tage of these reduced freight rates i'm
mediately.
1t has long been a ground for COM
plaint by the Iowa stockmen that
despite the fact that profitable
market exists at Omaha they have
been discouraged by the high railroad
rates and inconvenlenced by the irreg-
ular service from shipping their stock
across the Missouri river. The reason
for such discrimination by the railroads
is apparent. 1t is to their advantage to
carry cattle and hogs to Chicago and
benefit by the long haul.
The new order which has just gone
into effect giving the farmers of Iowa
equal facilities to ship to that market
which offers the best inducements has
been brought about by the force of Cir
cumstances. But it is mainly due to the
growing Importance of Omaha as cat
tie and pork packing center. Within
the past few weeks the receipts
Of live stock have been unusually
heavy while the prospects for an en-
larged market in the future growing
out of the extension of the beef and
pork packing plantsare most promising.
Credit, however, is due for the speedy
realization of the long promised freight
reduction and improved transportation
facilities to the directors of the Union
Stock yards and especially to Acting
President Babcock. Thoroughly con-
versanJ with the transportation question
in all its details, and alive to the
necessities Of Omaha stock interests,
Manager Babcock has been able to pave
the way for greater benefits. A step
has been taken in the right direction.
The reduction of rates and the improved
transfer facilities are but the entering
wedge to cheaper and speedier connec-
tions with Omaha.

acting without the consent OF their parents.
He informed Archibald that his fathers
signature to q written statement was neces-
sary, and unless that could be obtained he
would not authorize the marriage.
The young man seemed to feel his disap-
pointment keenlv, but said he would make
another trial in Council Bluffs.

companion, 1--WE VIII have TO do some lively

SECRETARY WINDOW proposes to in =
ject little OF civil service rules in the
method of appointing special agents OF
the treasury. Hereafter candidates for
these positions will be obliged to stand
up before a board of examiners and
testify to their fitness. The treasury
department has been handicapped for
years by the appointment of men in
capacitated by age or other infrmities
from assuming the duties of special
agents. The position was one of the
soft snaps sought after by superanuated
politicians, because there they could
draw comfortable salary without exer-
uion. 1t was highly necessary for the
secretary of the treasury to reform this
branch of the service before it became
useless through dry rot.
