Saturday morning, after Mr.. Henry Ashton, a
prominent citizen of Netherwood, Pa, had
breakfasted, he sent word to his stable to have
his colored coachman. William Thompson,
bring his horse and carriage to the door. as he
intended to take his wife and daughter Emily
for drive to Pennvllle. After waiting some
time for the coachman's appearance he went to
the stable to ascertain the cause Of the delay.
From Thompson's wife he learned that the
coschman had gone away with the horse and
carriage shortly after midnight, saying he was
going to visit a sister who was seriously Ill. Mr.
Ashton returned to the house and was there
informed by his wife in paroxysm OF grief
that Emily could not be found. Then the hor-
rible suspicion took possession OF his mind that
mis- coachman and daughter had eloped A
visit to her room furnished proof Of his erring
daughter flight. letter to her father told
her love for Thompson, her effort to conquer
the feeling and her final yielding to passion
which she acknowledged could bring nothing
but disgrace upon herself and family. Mr.
Ashton. with a number OF friends, started in
pursuit of the fleeing couple, but could find no
trace Of them. The horse and carriage were
found tied to tree. They evidently took the
train, but at what station could not be ascer-
tanned. Mr.. Ashton then returned home with
the determination to leave his daughter to her
fate. He and his wife are overwhelmed with
grief at the disgrace brought upon them. Miss
Ashton Is twenty-three years of age and very
pretty. Thompson is described as an intelli-
gent negro, but very uncouth. He has wife
and four children.

English syndicate for S27, 100000 The sum is
enormous, and when one looks at the figures
at first thought it seems incredible. but when
the vast deposit Of mineral wealth which they
will secure considered incredulity gives
away to belief. There is no question but that
the deal ia on, and the facts are as firmly
founded as the Aspen mountain, the great

ence. or course, a story is behind or beneath
this strained situation. The two Senators were
members Of little poker-playing party some
time ago. Other Senators were in the game.
All were playing for recreation. The stakes
were not large. Late in the night ono of the
party, making an excuse to step out. obtained
an old deck OF cards and selected four aces.
Returning. he passed the hand to a Senator,
who in turn transferred the cards to a third.
All were in the plot except the Senator who
was to be made the victim The Senator who
held the four aces waited until there was pot
of &c or 81 up, and then laid down his hand
Everybody smiled except the victim. He threw
upon the table his cards. which included two
aces. and before anybody could interfere
raised his chair and brought it down with
crash on the head of the Senator who had
played the stocked hand. He was about 10
follow up the blow, when the rest of the party
interfered. 1t was all they could do to restrain
him. Each tried to explain that it was all a
joke, but the more they talked the worse they
made the situation. 10 this day the Senator
who played the four aces and tho Senator upon
whom the four aces were played remain I'M
reconciled. And the Senator who perpetrated
the joke has not played game OF poker since

This in,ensed the Junior Ordcr of United
American Mechanics and they induced one of
the mounted aids to order the Gag down. The
bakers refused to obey. Tho aid rode Oh and
the spectators began to jeer. The mechanics
called back the aid and insisted that the Ger
man flag be removed. The officer, thus urged,
rode into the ranks and tried to take the BAN
ner away from the sturdy man who car
ried it. The men in the ranks quickly
surrounded the aid and essayed to
beat him of. Policeman Diebold Of the Ale
gheuy force was incensed at the indignity
offered the flag of his fatherland, and dashing
into the thick of the fight beat the horse and
rider with his mace. The Jr. 0. U. A. NJ, who
had encouraged the aid to remove the flag,
took part. Canes were fiourished and brought
down upon the heads of any one who was in
striking distance. Fists were used with good
effect. Policeman Diebold was roughly
handled. Despite the efforts Of the bakers and
the policeman tho flag came down. The part
Of the pole the junior order men secured had
the banner on it. Tho silk was torn to shreds.
Then the angry men trampled 1t under foot.
Having won the victory they set up a shout
Of America for Americans 1.-The stars and
stripes the only banner on our streets!" and
other patriotic sentiments. The Germans
threaten to be revenged at the first opportunity.
They claim an affront was offered to friendly
