Funny Eudlng of Romance at ParhOFs'

Funny Euding Of n Romance at Parkers'
burg.
PARKERsBURG, W. YAp March S.-B.
F. Nolan, a boy of seventeen, eloped
with Alice, the fourteen-year-old daugh-
ter Of W. O. Perry, the proprietor Of q
travelling museum. The clippers went to
Marietta, Ohio, where, as alleged, through
the Misrepresentation Of companion, q
license was secured. The couple were
married at Belpre, Ohio, opposite this
place, Old man Perry watches the
ferry, and when the bride and groom
landed on this side he ran the groom
out Of sight, spanked the girl and locked
her up in one Of his cars.
Nolan's brother, Perry, a man who
had once been a policeman and had
been dismissed in disgrace, put up a job
to secure the girl by swearing out q
warrant for Perry and his wife. The
trick failed, as the old man kept the girl
with him while he was under arrest. He
showed her marriage license and was
discharged. Old msn Perry began pro.
ceedings last night 10 annul the mar.
riage. He says he will prosecute all
parties connected with the marriage in
the Ohio courts.

During MOjor McKinley's campaign
for reelection shrswd canvasses for the
other party went through the. district
Offering for ten cents tin cupq which
every dealer was glad to sell for Eve
cents and some dealers were selling at
three cents. The exIortionate price was
the Democratic argument against the
Mckinley bill, which was to makeevery
poor man pay more for his tin cup and
his dinner pail. 1t was a thin device,
but 1t made It's impression on people
who read Democratic newspapers only
and knew no better.
iiow come letters from the BritiSh
manufacturers saying that after the duty
on tin plate goes into effect, July !, they
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1891-03-09

will sell their tin plates in this country
at present prices. The foreign makers
will pay the duty Of $e4a ton in order
to get into our market. II they knew
how they would make the American
consumer pay it, but they do mot know
how, nor are their American Free Trade
alliss able 10 invent way toT them.
Since the British manufacturer isgo'
ing TO deliver his tin platein this market
1t the same price as under the old tariff,
Il is plain that the American manutie.
turef cannot include in his selling price
the s24 a ton which represents the duty,
thus Shaking TIE rich richer and the
poor poorer"
The British manufacturer is knocking
the Free Trade argument higher than a
kite. He is also pleading guilty to hay:
ing taken a very liberal profit out Of US
for all these years. His scheme is to re-
tain his hold on our market until his
Democratic friends restore him to his
ancient fairness, when he will take care
to recoup himself.

TO STOP A PENSlON-LEAK.
Recommendation of MISUNDERSTANDING
of.the-Intcrior Busscy.
(By telegraph to the Dispatch.l

(By telegraph TO the Dspatcn.l
WASHINGTON, November 5.---Assistant-
Secretary Bussey, IN his annual report to
Secretary Noble, asks that Congress be re-
auested to enact . law that shall expressly
authorize the department to treat all i'm
proper, illegal, and excessive payments OF
pension money. whether caused by fraud
or by mistake, as prepayments to be
charged against the current pension. with
q view to readjusting or equalizing. cur
rent-pension payments within the discre-
tion of the Secretary.
Heretofore, he explains, in the absence
of q clear legal provision on the subject,
the Government. having no authority to
plead past over-payment as an Offset to
current payments OF pensions, has been
compelled to submit to serious losses OF
money which. having been once impro-
perly paid either to claimants or to PEN
sioners, were irrecoverable under any es-
tablished rule of departmental practice.
He also suggests that in cases OF in
sane, idiotic. or otherwise helpless chii-
dren' of deceased pensioners the PEN
sionable aRe-limit be abolished.
The Assistant Secretary also recommends
that persons who served Ia the Confede-
rate army and afterwards enlisted in the
navy of the United States be given the
same pensionable rights a. are accorded
to those who served in the Confederate
cause and then enlisted in the army OF the
United States.
