TRAGIC ELOPEMENT STORY.
Married at Midnight, Parted by the

Married at Midnight. Parted by the
Brides Father. and the Groom Insane.
MIDpLETowN, June ia romantic
elopement and hasty midnight mar
rage, the parting of the happy pair by
the BRIDES father, and the despair and
madness and final incarceration of the
bridegroom in an insane asylum are the
principal elements in a story of real
life in the neighboring ChenangO Val
ley.
Devillo Eccleston is well-to-do
farmer of Guilford. He has a pretty
and well educated daughter, Flora, fiji
teen years old. He had in
his employ az farm hand a
good-looking young fellow, Warren
McVittle, without money or culture
and not yet of age. Miss Flora and
Warren became lovers and, knowing
that the girls parents would not con-
sent to match, they determined to
elope and get married AS best they
could. One night recently they stole
out OF the EcciestOn mansion and drove
post haste to Norwich, where they
called Judge Nash out of bed at mid
night and persuaded him to marry
them at once. Next morning early the
BRIDES angry father came 10 Norwich
IN hot pursuit of the elopers. He had
the groom arrested for the alleged alb
duction of child under manageable
age. The youth was unable to furnish
bail and was taken from his weeping
and distracted bride and committed to
the county jail to await trail. The I'M
placable parent took his daughter home,
where she has since remained in strict
seclusion. The bridegroom grew moody,
despondent and restless. Suddenly on
Monday last he became violently in
sane, gesticulating wildly, and filled
the Jail with his frantic cries. He i'm
agined that some one was numbering
his bride, and he shrieked and raved in
wild agony. Physicians said that he
was suffering from acute mania and
recommended that he be sent TO the
States hospital for the insane. He was
taken there in irons.

Seized by Canadian Officials for DAM
ages in an Old Accident Case.
ROCHESTER, Y. Y, June 19.-Wednes-
day night II. II. Warner, with a party
of friends, was an his way to the Thou
sand Islands on the Steamer Siesta,
owned by Mr.. Warner. The Siesta
struck On shoal just off Horseshoe
Island, two miles from Kingston, aud a
life boat was sent to Kingston to secure
help. About year ago the Slesta COL
lided with and sank the schooner Annie
Foster. Kennedy Il Co., her owners.
demanded $1,000 damages which Warner
refused to pay, and since then
the Canadian officials have been
endeavoring TO catch the steam
er in Canadian waters. When
the Siesta's crew reached Kingston on
Wednesday night they had no difficulty
in securing aid, but it came IN rather
surprising form. The tug Olivia Cor
don went to the rescue of Mr.. Warner
and party, and brought them to Kings
ton, where the Canadian officials tied
up the boat and placed her under
$4,000 bond. Mr.. Warner gave the
necessary bond. The Siesta was then
boarded by the party and came to
Alexandria Bay. What the Canadian
people will 10 now in the matter is
hard to prophesy. but it is probable
that Mr.. Warner will have TO fight suit
against Kennedy q Co.

A SWELL AFFAIR.

The Dance at Arbeiter Hall for the
strikers Benefit.
The dance given under the auspices
of Mich ael c. Duffy at Arbeiter Hall
last night for the benefit of the strikers
was the most elite affair which has oc-
CURED since the dancing season closed.
There was large crowd, such as it was
and mirth hung thick and heavy every
where. There was 8 constant run on
the bar inside the building for
schupers, and the dispenser OF lager
in the garden outside was deIuged with
thirsty partIcipstors in the terpsichor-
can festivities. Loud evidences of en-
iovment broke forth in egregious
multiplicity a. the dulcet tones of tho
orchestra pealed forth and fioated away
on the gentle midnight breeze. The
feature OF the evening which was most
appreciated was the lovely, free-for-al I
fight which occurred about l:30.
This happy event was not down
on the program, but was none the less
interesting for ali that. Everybody had
the privilege Of taking part, and quite
few took advantage of the oppor-
tunitv to exercise themselves. Candi-
date Frank IIine was there and seemed
to be enjoying himself hugely. There
is not the slightest reason TO dIscredit
the belief that all went home feeling
that the evening was well spent.
