AT the village Of NewberTy, Ind, u
highly sensational aud exciting elope-
ment was witnessed "a day or so ago.
The fleeing lovers were from Plainville,
Daviess county. and had eloped at dark,
taking passage in a hack. The vehicle
broke down, and they hired farmer to
take them 10 the railroad station, but
when he learned who they were and that
they were clippers, he knew the girls
father, and refused 10 take them any
further, leaving them in the middle OF
the highway in the dead of night. They
pursued their way TO Newberry on foot,
arriving about daylight, and bought
tickets to Terre Haute. Their names
were Dukes and Slattin. While loung-
ing about the depot waiting for the
train and amusing the spectators by
their loving conduct the ''old man" rode
rapidly mp, and seeing them dart around
the depot jumped from his horse and
asked a man standing near by TO hold 1t
until he killed man.
By this time the fleeing lovers were
going over the bridge across the river,
the young man considerably in the lead,
calling back, Come on, Mary" while
the enraged father brought up the rear,
revolver in hand; Int Mary shaded her
lover from the old mans pop by keeping
between them. Noticing that her father
was gaining on her she took oil her shoes,
and thus inspired with new energy she
fairly flew, soon overtaking her lover
and distancing the old man, who soon
gave up the chase, amid the laughter
and ieers of the crowd who had wit
messed the ridiculous proceedings. The
old man then offered $25 reward for the
arrest of the pair, but no one cared to
undertake the job, and the old man re-
turned honest. Louis Republic.

A Dangerous Calling.

The public has but m inadequate idea
If the danger 10 which the ordinary
trainmen are exposed. Accidents TO
them are occurring every day in The
year, and il is only when the results are
made known that the real condition Of
things is seen.
The Brotherhood of Railway Train
men, according 10 statements made at
the recent convention in Los Angeles,
now numbers li,057 members, an in
crease of GOO during the past year. 1t
was stated. however, that the organiza-
ton has branches not only in the United
States but also in Canada, Ireland and
Sweden, 50 that the actual member
ship in this country does not appear
from the figures above. Sad and I'M
pressive evidence Of the dangerous nat
ure of the trainmen's occupation is
given in the statement that during the
year go disability and death claims 10
the amount Of nearly $4,000 had been
paid, and that of the total number OF
claims over 200 resulted from railway
accidents, and OF these $50 deaths were
caused III coupling cars.
1t is distressing to think of the suffer
ing and death daily occurring as the re-
suit largely of the great variety Of coup
lings in use. and il must be admitted
that there is n crying need Of II rapid i'm
provement in this matter by the adop
ton of some uniform style Of coupling
which will be both efficient in service
and safe in handling. kansas City Sun.
