How Railroad Engineer Won Charming

How Railroad Engineer Won a Charming
Bride
Boston, June PA romance of the rail
occurred here this morning Miss Edith w.
Chandler, only daughter of Charles Chand-
Ter. a wealthy manufacturer of Kingston,
despite her parents opposition fell in love
with Prescott L. Foss, young engineer on
the Old Colony Railroad The family de-
sired Miss Chandler to wed AlopZo WEitby,
the junior partner of Mr.. Chandler. The
girl was obdurate, and came yesterday to
Boston secretly to be married to Foss. Mr..
Chandler heard of it in time and came here
last night and took charge of the young
girl, starting early on the morning train to-
day for Providence to have her placed in
convent When the train stopped at South
Braintree, in place OF getting a drink OF
water, as she made q pretense of doing,
Miss Chandler got off the car, being left
behind. Discovering the trick, Mr., Chandler
alighted at the next stop, Brockton, and
waited for the up accommodation train. lie
was confident of recovering his daughter. as
he knew that Engineer FOss was working
to-day and had charge of the Newport eX-
press, which did not stop at South Brain
tree, so when the latter train stopped at
BTocktOn, Mr.. Chandler did not get on,
making a fatal mistake. Miss Chandler
took the Brainteee station agent in her con-
fdenee, the result being that just before the
express was due loaded baggage truck ac-
cidenially upset on the up track and the
express had to be signaled to stop until the
rails were cleared OF baggage. The delay
enabled Miss Chandler TO board the express,
a note stating her presence was given to
Foss and when the train reached Boston
they were quickly married by the Rev. E.
o. Dyer, the license having been prepared.
The Old Colony Railroad will investigate
the accident to the baggage truck, but il
wont amount to much.

No Duty on Queen Bees.

WASHINGTON, June 12.-Assistant Secre-
tary Spalding decided that queen bees are
entitled to entry free of duty under the
tariff provision for animals specially i'm
ported for breeding purposes, nOtwithstand-
ing the requirement of that provision for a
certificate OF pedigree. Showing pure breed
cannot possibly be complied with in their
case. This is in harmony with the practice
under the old tariff, but is in conflict with
the practice under the present tariff of as
sesslng duty on queen bees at the rate of 20
per cent ad vaiorem under the provision for
animals not otherwise provided for The
present ruling is based upon representations
that these bees are never imported for other
than breeding purposes and that they are
always of a superior breed.

moderate than Mills, and cautioned him

FATHER MOLLING Err.
Scenes Attending the Priest Physicians
Consultations

PITTsBURG, June 12.-The doings of Rev.
Father Mollinger, the priest-physician, have
lately furnished material for many sensa-
tional stories. The Reverend Father to-day
made some statements from the steps of the
schOol-house. He said that no preference
would be shown to any one. The weak and
most sorely afflicted ones, especially women
and infants, will be attended to first. The
scenes at Troy Hill were more thrilling than
on any previous days. At the Parochial
School the people struggled for a place near
one of the three doors. The wonder is that
half dozen babies who were horne in their
mothers arms, were not severely hurt, but
only one woman tainted. No cures of
miraculous nature were reported, though
number of visitors felt improved in health
after their consultation with the priest.
Tomorrow is st. Anthony's day, and an
immense crowd, it is expected, will be
present. The church and chapel have been
especially decorated for the occasion.

plaintiffs in the Rock Island Union Pacific
bridge case. He was followed by
Judge Dillon. general counsel for the

the Republican Valley branch of the Union
Pacific were parallel and competing lines.

point that the Union Pacific had no power
to make a contract He was followed by A.
l.. Williams of Kansas, attorney for the
Union Pacific, who argued that the contract
was ultra wires, because full Board of Di-
rectorS and Government Directors had not
approved it.
