NOBILITY IN A STEW.
Persons of Rank Who Corresponded With
Matrimonial Agency.

matrimonial Agency
The sequel to the breach of promise suit
brought by Miss Knowles, the daughter Of
Sir Francis Knowles, against Fraser Dun
can, the proprietor of the Matrimonial
News, is the disappearance of the latter
from his usual haunts and his reported ap-
pearance in Paris. Before leaving for the
capital he was heard to declare that he
would not pay ! farthing of the 10000
damages which he had been fined for tritling
with the feelings OF the young lady.
The Matrimonial News has been assigned
to Mrs. Duncan. and it is very probable
that III consequence of the unenviable repute
which it has now achieved she Will dlscon-
time its publication for the present
The Sheriff's officers are now in posses
sion of the publication Office on be-
half Of Miss Knowles, who has offered to
compromise the matter for the sum Of,
E2500, but up to now the offer has not been
accepted Everything of the slightest value
has been cleared out of the office. and even
the waste paper and lumber were sold yes
terday.
Great CONSERVATION. almost amounting to
absolute panic, exists among the clients of
the Matrimonial News. Many Of them
moved in The best society that London af-
fOrds, and if their names were to be made
public q grave scandal would be the newt
able result.
1t is known rs a positive fact that among
the clients were ladies who were in the habit
of writing from their West Eud mansions,
gentlemen from the swell clubs and Counts
and other nobemen attached to the foreign
embassies. All these are in mortal fear
that in the confusion which prevails out
SlderS may get possession OF their letters.
The consequence is that the office has been
kept in a state of siege during the last few
days by the constant rush Of people who
are anxious to avert exposure or to avoid
being subjected to bluckmail to obtain these
precious documents. = London special to

BLOCKED BY BEES.
Railroad Traffic Stopped by n Novel
Obstruction.

Railroad Traffic stopped by Novel
Obstruction.
A swarm of bees created a block in q
curious manner on the Perkiomen Railroad
the other day. A freight train running be-
tween Perkiomen Junction and Allentown
stopped to take water at Palm station,
twenty miles north from here. A swarm Of
bees from neighboring farmhouse had ia
ken refuge III some woods near by, and when
the train stopped at the station they came
buziDg out and alighted with one accord on
the tender behind the engine. The en-
gineer and his assistant in the
engine and the brakemen standing
around the train were astonlShed
at the visitation, and promptly
sought safety in the waiting-room OF the
on the engine cab at the time, busily shift
ing coal from one side of the tender TO the
other, and in an instant hundred bees set
upon him. Half mad with pain he jumped
off the tender and rolled wildly in the grass
at the roadside.
The schedule time for starting the train
came and went, but the crew saw no way
in which to start They held a consultation
over the problem, and finally bright idea
struck the engineer. Putting it into execu-
ton, he crept softly and unconcernedly up
to the tender, after the manner of an eXpe-
rienced bee farmer, and secured possession
of the adjustable hose with which engln-
GERS are accustomed to clean up their cabs.
III 9 got the drop on the bees and turned on
them steady stream of cold water. The
effect was magical. The entire swarm took
to their wings and described a straight line.

The police had a case yesterday which puz-
zled them as to how it should be treated. Two
little tots had committed burglary and it
appeared as il the mother OF one was imph-
Gated in the matter, but all the police could
do was to search for the stolen goods.
The eulpIits are May Coffman and Willie
Taylor, aged 4 and ) years respectively, who
live with their parents on Alabama street,
near Twenty-sixth. Last Friday evening
they entered the rear of Armstrong; grocery
on the corner of these two streets and walked
off with two gold watches, ribbons and
trinkets The boy traded a watch for
toys with other boys, who gave the time
piece to Officer Burke when they heard
that he was looking for it. The girl took
her booty home, where the ribbons were
recovered on a search warrant.
Her mother stated thai the child had not
given her Il watch, while Willie asserts
that he saw her hand it 10 the mother.

A BRAVE WOMAN.
Her Heroic Efforts to Reach Her Dying
Husband.

Her Heroic Efforts to Reach Her Dying
Husband.
In these days newspapers are not often
called upon to chronicle n drawer action
than that Of the wife of T. F. Lloyd, a rail-
road man in Arizona, few days ago. Lloyd
was supposed to be fatally injured in one
of those terrible accidents which Will hap
pen on the best regulated railroads. Word
was quickly sent TO his wife urging her TO
lose no time in reaching his side. But night
was drawing on and between them lay sew
eral hours ride, under ordinary circum-
stances, and now there were two or three
big washouts, so that no train could run.
Kind hands were not wanting, however, to
help her on her sad and perilous journey.
Horses, hand-cars and trains were pressed
into the service and many were the long,
weary walks between the breaks in the road
in the binding storm of wind and rain :;
every ravine q raging torrent, and the whole
country sea of water. Button they went,
every effort making a little less the distance
between her and the loved one so near
dealh's door, All night long they
tOlled on until at dawn they reached the
village where poor Lloyd had been carried
but the journey was not done. During the
night the heavy rain had converted dry,
unsuspiciOus- looking ravine into swollen
river and beyond it was the house where he
lay. FOR n0urS lney worked, trying 10 nnu
some way for her to cross. Half the town
turned out to help in any possible way; still
it rained and the waters showed no possible
signs of receding. Finally, in desperation,
Mrs. Lloyd asked for a horse that could
SWIM Strong men shook their heads and
tried to persuade her from making the at
tempt, but she was firm. The horse was
brought, and the bold little woman and her
steed plunged into the flood. Not once did
the noble animal swerve from his course, but
kept steadily on until his feet touched bot
tom and he had landed his precious burden
on the other side.
The young mans many friends in this
city hope he may rally and live to enjoy me
companionship OF such noble wife.
