CAUGHT IN CUPID'S MESHES.

Two Well-Known Young People of West
Newton Set Authority at Naught
and Elope to Get Married Through
Pittsburg to Youngstown.
When the American youth of one sex is
seized with an affinity for O. sympathetic
young person of the other, and hard-hearted
parents or guardians interpose their author
fty against the fulfllment of that affinity in
.matrimony, it frequently happens that Gu
pid runs away with reason and the man
with the girl. And so it happened with
goodlooking young Robert Washbaugh and
pretty little Rose Nahar, both of West New
ton, on whose matrimonial aspirations both
the respective families frowned, but
Robert Washbaugh is the 19year-old son of
Squire George Washbaugh, of West Newton,
and Rose Nahar is the daughter of the late
member of the Council of that
thriving town, and a young lady of only
II. The course of their true love ran
smoothly enough up to the period when
Robert proposed to take unto himself q help
mate, but snag was encountered in the
shape of parental authority, which declared
that the couple were too young to venture
out into the cold, cold world on their own
account. This view was not shared in by
do what has been done since the time of Eve
to elope and go it alone.
The step was taken last night, and the
drizzltng rain which descended on them on
emerging from the Baltimore and Ohio
depot abated not their ardor in the least.
Mr.. Washbaugh hustled around with the air
OF an old traveller, with a couple of grips in
his hands, and made transfer of the Joint
they departed at io:45 o'clock for Youngs-
town, where, in all probability, they lost no
time in having the knot tied.

THE oMALLEY BRIBERY CASE.
RAn Other Pleas Withdrawn and One {
Demurrer Entered by the Defense.

RAn Other Pleas Withdrawn and One Of
Demurrer Entered by the Defense.
NEW ORLEANS, May 2S-When the Nc
Crystal and O'Malley bribery cases were
called to-day their attorney submitted a
motion for change of venue. The State in
troduced a number of witnesses, including
the leaders of the Committee of Safety,
Messrs. Parkerson, Denegre and Hauston.
They all testified that they believed accused
could obtain fair trial. Mr.. Parkerson
said: stThe fact that Mr.. O'Malley was walk
ing around the streets of the city, and had
thrown defiance in the face Of the COM
mittee, was the best evidence that the ac-
cused could obtain a fair trial"
Mr.. Parkerson admitted having said on
March IA, leave O'Malley to our committee
and we will attend to him. Before all the
testimony had been heard Mr.. Henriques, of
counsel for defense, abandoned the motion
for change of venue, and asked to have the
case fixed for trial June 10, as he desired to
be absent from the city until that date, but
the States attorney objecting, MIR. Hen
rfques then gave notice of withdrawal of the
plea of not guilty by his clients, and stated
that he would enter q demurrer similar to
that sustained by the court in the case
against Granger, in which the information
was Quashed on the ground that the allega-
tions set forth were not sufficiently specific.
The McCrystal and O'Malley cases go over
till tomorrow, when the demurrer will be
passed upon.

information to work on, showed to the con-
trary, as If they had not had sufficient in
formation they could not have treated the
subject so elaborately in their protests.
One delegate took advanced ground and
said that the entertaining Of this ques-
tion would break down all presbyterial
power and the consequence would be disas-
trous.
Rev. j. S. T. Milligan, of Kansas Presby-
terry, denounced the proposition to take the
matter out of the hands of the New York
strong opinion that the Presbytery had ex-
the seven after they had appealed
to the higher court.
NonIincing of the Matter.
There was no mincing of the matter by Mr..
Mi1igan, but he still agreed that the affair
might go on, as he thought the New York
Presbytery could stand It. Mr.. Milligan i'm
pressed the Synod with a beliefthat the free,
cyclonic air of the Kansas prairies had not
been without effect on HIS understanding
vigor.
Rev. DR.. Kennedy, pastor ofthe Fourth R.
p. congregation of New York, defended the
New York Presbyteryrwith such vigor that
he brought down the Synod. He abhored
the East End platform but held that New
York had no certain knowledge that the
characters Of the suspended ministers were
as black as was painted. He also held that a.
portion of the sin had been extensively
chargeable to many members of the church
in times past.
About this time the lightning flashed from.
all parts of the room. Dr. w. Sproullj
moved to table, and offered a substitute.
Prof Wilson raised point oforder. Rev. ].
S. T. Milligan another.
DR.. McAllister in the melee called atten-
tion to his having been taken to task for
using the term "remissnesS," and held that
the liberal defenders had outdone him by
use of the expression "high-handed" in
Speaking of the action of the Pittsburg Pres
bytery
The motion to receive and refer to the
Committee of Discipline was carried in the
affirmative, but a division was demanded
amid storm of motions to adjourn which
had been in progress for some time
Rev. Mr.. Carson rose to q question of priv
ilege and could not get a hearing when he
said that disorderly as the New York Legis-
lature was it would not refuse a favor of the
kind.
The division showed l20 votes in the affirm
ative to 20 in the negative, the small vote on
the latter side being an astonisher, consider
ing the previous racket it had been able to
maintain
The suspended ministers are at hand, and.
seem to be enjoying themselves as well, If
not better, than their suspenders.
The motion to adjourn was finally put and
carried.

BACK FROM THE SLOPE.

sT.W-Phf1lips Forms a Favorable Opinion of
the Far Western. Country.
T. W. Phillips, of New Castle, sat in the
lobby of the Duquesne Hotel last evening
and renewed acquaintance with some old
friends on his return from a heightened tour
in the West. He spent some time in Cali
fornia, and ran up to Oregon and Wash
ington.
Mr.. Phillips said he found much push and
enterprise in Portland, Seattle and Tacoma,
cities which were given an impetus mainly
by Eastern men. He thinks the Pacific
slope offers better Inducements to settlers
than the Middle States. The climate is gen.
orally more temperate than on this side, and
the wealth of that section in coal, iron,
lumber and, to an extent, in precious metals
isvery considerable.

was tried at Homestead yesterday to charge
the furnaces in the new open-hearth plant.
1t is said to be most wonderful in its
mechanism and will charge "mix' of 20
tons in less than half an hours time, while
with the old way of charging with "peel"
it generally takes two to three hours. 1t
takes the place of six men. John A. Potter,

Works, is the inventor. The machine was

Andrew Miller versus Knights of Pythias
Lodge No. ls9 was a case on trial before Al
derman Succop last evening. Miller was
formerlya a member of the lodge, and the
suit was an action to obtain sick benefits al
legged to be due the plaintiff. Miller claimed
five weeks sick benefits, which would
amount to about $25. When the matter was
brought up before the lodge it is asserted
that Miller was only awarded two weeks
benefits, which were refused by him on the
grounds that he was entitled to five weeks
Having refused that which was offered him.
the lodge made no special effort to pay the
benefits, and suit was entered.
Alderman Succop decided the case in favor
of the plaintiff, but only allowed Miller the
two weeks benefits. The case in all proba-
bility will be appealed.

Judges Taking Their Seats.
Unless an outside party should question
the legality of the appointment of the new
Judges, no steps to depose them will be
taken at present. John c. Shoemaker. who
raised the point, is perfectly satisfied with
the appointments, and, in fact, was one of s.
A McClung's strongest supporters.
The present outlook is that Judges Ken
nedy, McClung and Porter will take their
seats, and their right to hold them will be
tested when one of their cases is taken to
the Supreme Court on the ground that this
court has no jurisdiction.

his head just above his right ear.
The man was taken to the Allegheny Cen

The scant vote is explained on the ground
that many people did not care to go on rec

the enlargement of debt say there will be
time enough when the assessment has been
revised so as to make wholesale lot-holders
pay their share of taxation.
