rsPKcIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcHJ
HUNTINGDON, January "A very singular
elopement occurred at Saxton, Bedford county,
to-day. Isaac D. Parker, aged 81, prosperous
farmer OF Kansas, arrived here to-day, en- route
TO Saxton, where he was met at the depot by
Miss Eta Reed, 'ged II. Miss Reeds parents
reside in Trough Greek, this county, and the
young lady was visiting friends in Saxton. A
few months ago Miss Reed answered an adyer-
t1sement for q correspondent inserted in a
matrimonial journal by Mr.. Baker, and short
time after Mr.. Baker made proposal of mar
rage, which was accepted by Miss Reed.
Her parents knew nothing of the daughters
matrimonial inclination, and in order to obvi-
ate any objection that might arise the young
lady conceived the idea of visiting her uncle,
D. H White, in Saxton, where an elopement
could be readily carried out. The couple ar
rived here this afternoon and at once took a
through train for the groom's home in Kansas.
A telegram has been sent ahead asking for
their apprehension.

NEW YORK SHORT OF ICE.

Warm Weather Threatening an Ice Famine
In the Metropolis.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH!
NEW YORK, January 2.-The continued
warm weather of the past month or more has
had tendency to increase the demand for
ice. Consumers have used much larger
quantities than usual for the month of De-
cember, and, IS a result, the stock of ice
stored in New York has been almost ex-
hausted.
Unless the weather grows rapidly colder
and there is a material addition of new ice.
it is not improbable that there will be a
femme in that commodity in New York
before February 1.

The campaign in behalf Of the Hon, M. p
Frank appears to have opened in dead ear.
nest. One end of 1t Is conducted by the Bos-
ton Globe. through its Portland correspond
ence; the other is conducted by somebody
we think we can guess whom the editorial
column of the Eastern Argus. The Globes
part of the work is to sound the praises of
Mr. Frank, inform the public what a great
man he is, and what tremendous boom the
First District of Maine would get il he were
in the halls of Congress. The Argus's part
is to asperse the representatives whom
Maine now has in the popular branch of the
national legislature. The Globes end doesn't
need much attention. Mr.. Frank, as we
have already said, is very creditable candi-
date, and as the Democrats don't always
nominate creditable candidates. it Is permits
SADIE and even praiseworthy for the Demo-
cratlc papers to gush over him. The public
can De trusted to make the proper allowance.
but the Argus's assault on the present
representatives In Congress is of a pretty Sc
rlous character. In il II is alleeed that
Maine is at present represented in the
House Oh representatives by four "cranks";
tnat THESE 'cranks" do not represent the
people Of Maine, but the political machine
TO which they have been able to attach them
selves; that they deliberately sacrifice the
interests of Maine to aggrandize at the ex-
pense of their constituents those gigantic
monopolies and trusts, established chiefly IN
the Middle States"; and that they rely on ga
corruption fund furnished by these "moror
olies and trusts" ito effect their elections"
1t isn't often that political campaign in its
early stages developes quite so
much untruth and indecency as is
