ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE prsPArcH..
READING, September 25.-Mlchael Horst,
a rich farmer OF Gravel Hill, Lebanon
county, had wild and exciting ride this
morning after his pretty young daughter
Lizzie, who had secretly left the farmhouse
late last night to run away to Camden with
a young farmer, Adam Miller, and be mar
ried. The lovers had itall planned. Mr.. Miller
aged 26, owns an adjoining 40-acre farm and
wanted Lizzie, aged 20, black haired and
black-eyed. to be his wife, Her rich old
father objected. Lizzie quietly went up
stairs after supper, secretly got ready, and
when the family were asleep she tip-toed
down stairs and out into the road, where her
lover was waiting with his team.
Off they drove in high glee and when
morning dawned they arrived at Lebanon.
put the team away and proceeded to the de-
pot, where the lover bought tickets for two
to Philadelphia. With smile Of triumph
they walked to the train. but just as they
were about entering the car Farmer Horst,
in big coat and with fire in his eyes,
stood in front of them. He had discov-
cred his daughters absence from home,
hItched up pair of trotters, driven to
the nearest railway station, caught the train
just in time, and arrived at Lebanon just as
the eloping couple were about to leave.
Quickly the lovers turned and fled from the
depot platform, young Miller seeking
refuge among the freight cars, while fright
ened Lizzie hid away in one of the waiting
rooms. Farmer Horst called out loudly for
help, gesticulated wildly, offered the train
hands liberal reward to catch them, but the
men only laughed, and refused assistance.
The train sped away, and finally Con-
stable Gates came along and soon found
Lizzie and with some difficulty delivered
her over to her much excited father.
Farmer Horst then took Lizzie to the office
of his lawyer. General Goblin, where the
well-known Republican leader gave Lizzie
some good advice, and finally she consented
to return to the farmhouse with her
father and not run off again. Farmer
Horst wanted to have young Miller
arrested, but he was advised to drop the
matter, and at 10 o'clock he took Lizzie
home. The lover soon after appeared, say
ing that these autumn days were very
lovely. that Camden would not run away,
and that as he did not wish to have per-
sonal alteration with the old man he got
out of his way. Miller smiled, and init
mated that Lizzie would yet be his, and that
before long.

LAMAR, COL, September 25.-Word has
been received of serious trouble between the
towns of Boston and Springfield in Baca
county. Since Baca county was made from
Las Animas county by the last General AS.
sembly, there has been strife between these
two towns as to which should have the
seat. The act organizing the county
provided that Springfield should be the
county seat and at the election held last
fall it is alleged that. by the manipulation
of the ballots, it was made the permanent
county seat The people of the town oi
Boston claim that Springfield has not the
$1,000 worth of county property necessary to
prevent the county seat from being moved
by minority vote this fall. The only
available building for a county Court House
was hotel building in Boston. A few
weeks ago this was sold at Sheriff's sale,
and was bought by Springfield parties.
Saturday night party left Springfield
for Boston with machinery costing 81 900,
intending to move the building to the former
town and use it as a court house, thus pre-
venting the county seat issue being raised
this fall by reason of prominent improve
ments being made. Rollers were put under
the building, which is the finest in the
county, and three stories high, and 20
teams were hitched to it. Inside the house
were stationed IL men with Winchester
rifles. The building was moved about five
miles toward Springfield, which is about %
miles from Boston, when the people of the
latter place discovered the trick and imme-
diately organized. All available horses
and rifles were brought into requisition and
pursuit was uade

Proceedings Against n Combination Of Ten
nessee Companies.
NASHVILLE, September 25.-Hon. John
Ruhm, United States District Attorney for
Middle Tennessee, under the direction Of the
Attorney General of the United States, to-
day filed petition in the Clerks Office
against the companies owning or operating
mines from which coal is shipped to Nash
vile and all the coal dealers selling to con-
sumers, numbering three or four dozen COM
panies.
The petition alleges that combination or
trust exists between the above corporations,
firms and individuals to fix the prices for
the Nashville coal market, and thus mo-
nopolize and control the coal trade in Nash
Vile. 1t alleges that prices are fixed by the
combine at which coal shall be sold in Nash
vile, and that local dealers obligate them
selves not to buy from any mining company
not member of the exchange, while the
mining companies obligate themselves not
to deliver to any Nashville dealer who is
not a member. The petition asks for an in
junction in accordance with the provisions
of the antitrust law passed by Congress
July 2, 1890, and is probably the first pro-
ceeding taken under the law.

A PLOT AGAINST DIAZ
cULMINATEs IN AN ATTEMPT TO AssAs-
SINATE HIM.

Assailed With Brickbats and Bullets Dur
ing a Feast at the Palace, the Mexican
President Has n Narrow Escape-The
Cause of the Uprising.
SAN ANTONIO. September 25.-A prom
Hnent railway official who reached San
Antonio this morning from the City of
Mexico, and whose large interest in the
neighboring Republic render it wise for him
to be very guarded in what he says, relates
a startling story of an attempt on the life
of President Diaz. The story in brief is as
follows: During the national celebration
on the 11th instant, an immense
crowd of people of all classes surged around
the Executive Palace at night to do homage
to Diaz. During the climax OF the festivi-
les, while bands were playing and fireworks
were popping and sizzling the loudest, the
President, accompanied by his personal staff,
stepped out on to the front piazza in re-
sponse to deaiening calls, to witness the
pyrotechnic display.
No sooner had his martial form appeared
on the gallery than vollev of musketry
sounded above the din OF music, fireworks
and wells, and bits of brick and timber be-
gan to fly around his head. He retreated
hurriedly to his room, followed by his staff.
Three bullets whizzed dangerously near
him. Forty men are known to have been
concerned in the murderous plot, Is of
whom are now in Jail. and the others are
fleeing precipitately from the country with
the military on their track. The news has
just appeared in the Mexico Government
offices.
The reason of the attack is assigned to a
variety of causes, the most important of
which is that the President is strongly sus-
pected of coauetting of late with the cler-
ical party, which is in direct conflict polit-
ically and socially with the Liberals, to
whom Diaz owes his power. Mrs. Diaz is a
devout Catholic, and several days ago
entertained the Archbishop of Mexico in
the Presidential palace, which is the first
occurrence of the kind since the bloody
siege of the revolution that ended in victory
for the Liberal party.

Close md Interesting Contest ut Recrea.
ton Park Yesterday Afternoon.
A very bad mistake by Umpire McQuade
spoiled chance for local N. l. team to win
the second game from the Bostons yesterday
afternoon. 1t was in the ninth. when Wilson
was on second base and two men were out
Burke hit for a two-baser along the right foul
line and the score was tied. The hit was about
two feet safe, but the umpire was in position
to see it foul, and so it went, and the game was
lost Several of the Boston men said after the
game that the hit was safe beyond a doubt. but
they did not have any reason to complain.
The contest was close and exciting all
through, and was never won until the last man
dropped his bat in the ninth. Only one error
marred the local mems work, and that was
from a most unexpected source, Burke doing
the act This had nothing to do with the re-
suit, however, and it was clearly the bases on
balls sent out by Mr. Smith that caused the
disaster. In the sixth inning he sent three
men to bases on balls, but only one OF them
scored. The Bostons put up stronger game
and batted better than on the previous day.
The game was kept close from start TO nnlsn.
Neither team scored until the fifth, when each
got in run. Boston had the first advantage,
scoring an earned run. Nichols opened with a
two-bagger and was driven home on Loves
single. The local men retaliated In KIND their
time at bat also scoring an earned run. Smith
singled and Burke's corking two-baser sent
him over the plate.
The sixth also produced run each. For
Boston Smith got first on balls, second on a
passed ball and scored on loves single. Pitts
burg followed out by La Rogue getting two
bagger, stealing third, and Sales single scored
him.
Boston continued in the seventh. but the
1oooI Sh1t nm Shon Sullivan got base on
balls and stole second. Brodie's single scored
him. Brodie in turn scored on Hardie's two
bagger This ended BOston's fun and the
PiTtsburgs did nothing until the ninth, when
Sales singled, got second on a wild pitch and
scored on Wilson's single. Attendance, 24O.
