The summer residents at N~arragansett
Pier have q sensation i'll the elopement of
Miss Cleo Juliet Weed, a sister.in-lew of
ex-Gov. Sprague, with q young Michigan
electrician. Miss Weed has been visiting
the Sprague family at their handsome
estate. There she met Howard s. Eaton,
a young man employed in making some
repairs at thu local electric light station.
But the governor and his wife did
not dream that the young people were
on anything more than speaking terms.
Miss Weed met Eaton, aud together they
called on Rev. Mr.. Clark, a Baptist min
lister, and were speedily made man and
wife. They returned to the Pier, Mrs.
Eaton going to her %sister's house and in
forming Mrs. Spiague that she and Eaton
had eloped and were married.
Word was sent to Eaton to report at
once ut Canonchet and there he was se-
verely catechised by Gov. Sprague, who
knew that Cleo was not of age and who
doubted Eaton's statement as to his own
age. The result of this interview was that
Eaton was informed that his marriage was
illegal inasmuch as he had failed to comply
with the law by neglecting to get u permit
from Miss Weeds guardian, and from his
W people. Gov. Sprague objected to
the marriage because he and his wife
knew little or nothing of Eaton's antece-
dents. Gov. Sprague is to have the mar
ria2e annulled on account Of its illegality.

G. Rowland. The papers were served on
the minister at the parsonage. They wert
sent from Cass county, North Da

n resident of Cass county for the last
three months. In her complaint she says
that she was married to the defendant on
Dec. %, 1852, and that she is o 33 years
of age, while her husband is 10. The
issue of the marriage was one child, a girl,
Florence, now 6 years of age. Mrs. How

Strong Efforts to Secure the Release of the

An attempt is being made to procure the
pardon of Oscar Neebe, the anarchist con-

Of May 4, 1886, who is now working out

NJ. NJ. Trumbull, p. Hannes. Col. Sexton,
Matt Benner, Julius Wiegmann, w. H.
Dyrenforth, w. H. Neebe. John N. Hills,
Franz Gindele and Charles Barry.
Mr.. Hills, foreman of the grand jury
that indicted Neebe. said he feared he had
taken o large share in condemning an limo.
cent man to punishment for u crime of
which he was not guilty. Neabe would
never have been indicted if promises had
not been made that further proof would be
offered to the petit jury. The evidence Of
a detective, unsupported by any other wit
ness, was considered sufficient to attach
the crime to Neebe, aud since that trial
his conscience had troubled him until he
could not rest.
1t was felt, however, that the chief diff.
Guilty in the way was the fact that Judges
Grinnell and Gary refused to Sign the PEI
tition, although all the members of the
grand jury have done so, and the sigma
lures of $4,000 citizens have been ap-
pended to the petition. The editors of
the daily papers in the city will be visited
by q committee with a request to do ali in
their power to promote the release of
Neebe. Judges Grinnell and Gary will
again be approached regarding their views
on the matter.
The petition will not include any of the
other anarchist prisoners, for a condition
attached Ito the petition states that the
gentlemen interested in Neebe's case
promise not to agitate for the release of
the others if Gov. Fifer pardons Oscar
Neehe.

the Witheresl Arm h Called For.
Three weeks ago Samuel Mccall, q far.
mel living on the Michigan side OF the bor-
der, became incensed at Q number OF boys
who wers %trespassing on his farm. He
caught one of them and chastis d him
severely. The boys mother lives near,
and when she heard OF McCalls whipping
h-r sou she went to thu farm and berated
him, closing her tirads by cursing him,
and hoping that his right arm might be
withered. The same afternoon Mccall
was pulling weeds in his garden when he
was bitten in the leshy part of his thumb
BY q massassauqua, as the Ohio rattle
snake is called. These reptiles are rare,
and the people stand in great dread Of
them. They are venomous. aud are a ref.
utation OF the scientific declaration that all
venomous snakes may be distinguished
from the non-venomous by their thin
necks aud large triangular heads. The
massassauqua's head is not triangular,
but is shaped like IL turtles, and is but o
tritis broader than the neck, iu some in.
stances the two being of even width.
Soon after he was bitten McCalrs hand
and arm began to swell and become dis
colored. A doctor was called. For a week
or mora the patient lay between life aud
death, and suffered intense agony. The
arm aud shoulder became so much enlarged
that the skin burst in several places. Ten
days ago the swelling began to decrease,
and tn pain grew less. The swelling con-
tinued to go down as rapidly, almost, as it
had grown. but with its decrease the flesh
shrank away until nothing was left of the
arm aud hand but skin and bone. From
the shoulder down McCall's arm is with
cred and lifelt 80.
The unfortunate farmer left his house
on Sunday for the first time since he was
bitten. Tn mother of the boy who was
whipped by Mccall declares that the
farmers withered arm is q curse put upon

sauqua iu response to her terrible wish.
Physicians say. however. that paralysis of
this kind is apt to be o sequence of the
massassanqua's bite if the poison does not
prove fatal. Several instances are cited
where such u result has followed, one
being the case of the Rev. Thaddeus Todd,
formerly of Piqua, who was bitten by a
massassauqua while cutting the grass ln
his yard aud lay six months in q haff
conscious condition. He recovered, but
his arm and hand were withered exactly as
Farmer McCulls are.

NORTH DAKOTA FARMERS IN A
SAD PLIGHT.
At Present in the Clutches Of a lsvstor

Their Crops at Prices tho Buyer Chooses
to Offer.

At Present In the Clutches Of an Elevator
Trust-Growers will Have to Dispose Il
Their Crops at Prices tho lBuyer Chooses
to Oder.
1t will be q startling piece Of news to the
wheat growers of North Dakota to lind out
OH the eve of harvest that no elevator In
the state will store grain this year. The
radical change in the handling Of the crop
has been kept as secret as possible. Il
was determined upon, it is said. soon after
the law was passed this year which makes
all public elevators and warehouses pay M
annual license Of So so per 1,OM bushelI
capacity. Nine.tenths OF the crop of the
state has been heretofore bought by the
elevator companies upon Duluth and Min
neapolis quotations. A farmer could store
his grain in these elevators for fifteen days
for nothing aud keep it in store as long %
he desired to pay q small fee therefor.
Now the elevators will refuse this on the
ground that they are not public elevators,
and the farmer, who 10 mortgaged to the
ears, will this year be compelled to sell his
crop at whatevar price the company chooses
to allow him. In most cases this will leave
him !enniless for the winter.
The law was supposed to be q reason.
able one, and was in the nature Of . tax not
SO easy to evade, as the old tax law had
proved, but the companies, in order to
eyade it, will resort to this sweeping
change, which will bring unexpected mis-
cry on most of the wheat growers Of THE
state. a class of mon having from SO to
$40 acres in grain, which represents all
they have in the world, and which now
promises the first actual return for their
labors in three years. BY the plan of forc-
ing private buyers out of the small stations
and agreeing upon q price the principal
elevators of the state will have, as in the
past, absolute control Of the enormous
crop now out. This crop will be SO large
that the railroad commissioners have
stated that all the railroads combine can.
not furnish cars to move it ono tenth as
far as required. If the elevators decline to
store it the confusion and dismay that will
result will be something unprecedented.
