 PITrsToN, Pa., Aug. 19.-Green Ridge had something to talk about to-day when it became known that Miss Rosa Warner, the daughter of J. P. Warner, had eloped with Edgar L. Smythe, who is supposed to have been a married man. and who for the past two months has boarded with the girls family.
 Rosa and Smythe left the house early in the morning, entered carriage that was in waiting. and were driven to the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western depot. Here all trace of them is lost, tine cab driver refusing to divulge which direction the clipping couple took. It was thought at first that they went to Binghamton, but later develop ments go to show that they took e south bound train to New Jersey.
 Chief of Police Wade telegraphed to the police in various cities to be on the lookout for the fleeing couple. As yet no trace of them has been found.

A QUEER SNAKE STORY.
Remarkable Case In Connecticut
 Years Ago.

Remarkable Case In Connecticut
 Years Ago.
 A gentleman from Prospect said yes terday that the man Chandler, who was bitten by a copperhead snake last Friday, was still suffering. but that 1t was be- lieved that he would ultimately recover. The man had his trousers rolled up, be- low the knee, when he received the bite.
 X writer in the Hartford Times says: A remarkable case of the effects which sometimes follows the bite of a copper head was related to the writer some time before the war, by the late Abram Beecher, of Bethleham, Litchfield county. Mir Beecher, who was then a member of the legislature, and one of the leading men in his community, was quiet, sedate, and truthful man, never given to romancing. As no note was made of statement at the time, and so many years have passed, it may not be possible to remember accurately every detail of the story: but the young man who was bitten, and who was either Mir Beecher s son (as we think, or a farm hand, was blowing a field with pair of horses, and was barefoot and his trousers turned up. In turning a furrow at one limit of the field he was bitten in the leg by one of the species of viper above mentioned. For long time it was thought he would utes HIS lt'B DtCtttl6 eiloIluoASly S"oLlShs its entire length, and he became covered all over the leg and part of his body, with dark spots, something like the Y- shaped markings on tEe snake. His agony was great, and he narrowly es- capped death, but finally rallied and be- came gradually so well that the exper- fence was practically forgotten. But the next summer. and, strange to say, on the anniversary of the day of his in jury, all these symptoms returned, with as much intensity as at first. He rallied , after several days of suffering; but the next year the same symptoms recurred. on the same anniversary, and it was all once more as if he had just been bitten. This strange recurrence of every symptom, even to the swelling, the spots, and the agony, recurred un- failingly at the same time every sum- mer, for certain number of years-it is not now remembered how many, but probably about six-and at last, in one of these annual attacks of more than usual intensity, the victim died.

ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.
John Tooley Killed By the Cars Near
 the Meriden Depot.

John TooIey Killed By the Cars Near
 the Meriden Depot.
 A fatal accident occurred last evening at the Meriden depot. John Tooley and Lewis Morse stepped in front of the en- zine of an extra train and were both struck. The accident happened about 1O:50 o'clock and Tooley was so badly hurt that he died about ten minutes later. Morse received a flesh wound in the left side of the forehead, but his in- iuries are not thought to be fatal.
 Dennis Mahoney, laborer employed by Watson H. Bliss, of Hartford, was badly hurt by falling with staging in the new children's ward building at the hospital, yesterday. Mahoney is hod carrier, and had filled his bod with mor- tar carrying it to the staging; when, just as he was emptying it, the staging gave way and he was thrown to the ground, falling he struck one of the cross-bars of the staging and broke a number of ribs on his right side. The ribs penetrated the lung, and his recovery is doubtful.
 Thomas Sullivan of Providence, R. l., fell from freight train No 226 at Wind sor Locks last night, while stealing a ride. Both legs were cut off above the knee and he will undoubtedly die. He was taken into the railroad station and made as comfortable as possible by the medical examiner.
 Edward McManus of Danielsonville, aged 12, was run over by a wagon yes. terday and fatally injured.

THE VICTIM IS A STRANGER.
The Man Killed by the Cars Yestei

The Man Killed by the Cars Yester-
 day Was Probably q Tramp.
 The body of the man who was struck by 8 New England road train and killed yesterday afternoon, as reported exclusively in the DEMOCRAT, is still at Moriarty's undertaking rooms, nobody having identified the remains.
 The victim was struck by n south bound freight train. The engineer says that the man was lying on his back across the track in the center of the cov- cred bridge near Bank street crossing The body was horribly mangled. Medl- ical Examiner AxtelIe made an exam ination of the body and found that the back was broken; the fright leg and left ankle were also broken and the right side of the face was crushed in.
 Several people saw the man walking in the vicinity of the bridge, and it is believed that he was intoxicated and lay down to sleep on the track.
 A search of the pockets revealed nothing by which the mans identity could be established. He wore dar k coat and vest and pair of dark stripped trousers. Around his neck was a string to which was attached a razor. In his pockets were several cigarettes, a piece of a tallow candle and five cent peice. He had light hair and was clean shaven.
 Several persons viewed the remains, but no one identified them. It was at first reported that the man was Thomas Mccarthy of Hartford. Another report had it that his name was Williams.
 The appearance of the body and the articles found would indicate that the fellow was a tramp. He was about 30 years old, 5 feet and 10 inches in height and weighed about 175 pounds.
 Unless the body is claimed by friends it will be buried by Undertaken Moriarty tomorrow.
 Late this afternoon it was rumored that the man was John Brick of Bald win street.

Great Interest Taken |" 'he Meeting to

 CHICAGO, Aug. 19.-The result of to- nights meeting of the Worlds Fair di- rectors is looked forward to with more than ordinary interest. The meeting is expected to be the most important yet, and will probably be a stormy one.
 The directory is by no means a unit on any of the questions to be decided, and some of the members go so far as to say they believe the meeting will adjourn before settling the site ques- tion. Some of the directors favor Jackson Park, others the lake front; the north and west sides have their champions, while there are few who apparently do not know what they want.

POLICE COURT.
Liquor Agent Colley Secures Two
 Convictions.


 Convictions.
 The principal business before the police court to-day was the trial of Will liam H. Collins and James H. Murnan for selling beer to Daniel. Lunny, a minor. Lunny is about as tough "kid as can be scared up in these parts and has a bad police record for one of his years. He was arrested for drunkenness Saturday night and it required the ser vices of two officers to bring him in. Yesterday his case was continued to oglve Agent Colley chance to get in hls work. This morning the lad swore that he bought beer in the saloons of the above mentioned parties. No defence was entered and fine of $2O and costs in each case was imposed. Both took an appeal. Agent Colley then argued that the witness. Lunny, should be dis charged, but Judge Bradstreet took a different view of the matter and i'm posed a fine of $1 and costs.
 Last night Thomas Scully went to Joseph Healey's stable on Bank street, hitched up a team and started out to en- joy himself, not returning until after midnight, when he was arrested, charged with taking team without the owners permission. Scully has recently been employed by Healey. and claimed that the latter had placed the team at his disposal This Healey denied. A fine of $1 and costs was imposed.
 A case against William Maloney, for drunkenness, breach of peace and assault, was continued until next Monday,
 Jimmy Curley, whose police record is as long as d broom handle, was charged with drunkenness and with being a common drunkard. Sentences aggrega- ting ninety days in jail were given.
 Andrew Bowen and Finton Phelan, drunk, were fined $l and costs each.
