tentlary door Thursday afternoon which
has back OF IT n romance. The person
who barely escaped the convict stripes
was Josie Roach. girl from Ohio
county. She was sentenced TO two
years for hor.e-steahng. The case is
most remarkable one. Near Josie's
home, one mile from FordsvilIe. lived
Elijah j. Grove, a susceptible youth of
is. Elijah fell IN love with Josie. and
the attachment was ciprocated. Their
parents objected, and they arranged an
elopement. June 20 last they tleft
home and started for Grayson county,
intenting TO get married. They walked
to Fordsville. getting there inst in time
TO see the tram pull out. Here Was n
dilemma. Looking down the road,
they saw Elijah's father coming "a fast
as he could run. Elijah saw q
horse. bridled and saddled. Quick
iy he mounted the animal and
then lifted Josie up behind
him. They started toward Spring Lick,
twelve miles distant. and old man
Grove was given the slip. Darkness
came on aud they stopped out over
night in q hsystsck. Next morning
Grove went into town and sold the
horse. That night the news reached
Spr;r Z Lick and the sheriff arrested
Grove and the girl. They were taken
to- jail, and on the trial II was proved
that Grove stole the horse and JOSIE
was an accessory. They we're found
guilty and sentenced To two years in

mace In New York.
NEW YORK, Dec. 5.--Again q week of
marked dullness and of some weakness
OF prices on the stock exchange. And
yet, along with this, there are no con-
dltions that can be considered sufficient
to account for this state of things. The
London market, which in a certain
sense may be said to he a branch of
ours. has shown healtnful and, accor
ding to dispatches, even a '.cheerfui"
tone, and is only awaiting a signal
from this side to start up an active
"bnlf' movement; and yet this asti-
tude has no encouraging effect on New
York. The Bank of England ls rapidly
increasing its reserve and 10 expected
soon TO reduce Its rate of discount TO
81 or per cent. The continental
bourses have shown . marked recovery
OF confidence; and at Iarls, Berlin.
Madrid and Vienna there is no longer
any apprehension of financial troub. e.
Following the visit of NJ. de Giers TO
the governments Of France, Germany
and Italy, there is a cessation of dis
quietiug political runlors, and hopes
are entertained that some way has
been found of establishing, a, least for
the time being. more harmonious rela-
tlons among tue divided power.
The improving tendency OF affairs IN
tire interior aud IN Europe. the effect
of the crops upon railroad earnings,
the growth of ease in u ey, and the
return OF gold from Europe are M
iiuences that are likely to continue TO
further develop throughout December;
which ~ ~ be expected 10 steadily pre-.
pare the way for a later movement
towards nIgiler prices. winch il seems
To be very generally conceded would
then be leg glumately due and likely TO
occur. HENRY CLsvs.
