Harper's Ferry News.

Mrs.---Russell. mother of Mr..
Joseph Russell, of Keep Tryst, Md,
end Mr.. George Russell. of Loudoun
county. Va, while on her way from
the home of the former son 10 that of
the latter, last Sunday afternoon, was
stricken with apoplexy and fell in the
street in Keep Tryst. DR.. Cannon, of
this place, was passing at the time
and took her up in the buggy, but
when he reached Mr.. Russell's resi-
dence. but a short distance from
where she fell, and attempted to help
her out it was his most unpleasant
experience to discover that the aged
lady was dead. Mrs. Russell was
about seventy years of age.
Stanton special to the american:
Joseph Lushbaugh, aged twenty
years, and Miss Adelaide Plant, aged
fifteen years, both of this city, took
the early Baltimore and Ohio train
this morning for Harper's Ferry, and
were married there to-day on the
bridge. Young Lushbaugh and Miss
Plant are still in school. Lushbaugh
is the son of Hartman Lushbaugh, a
prominent builder and contractor.
and is taking business course at
Dunsmore Business College. Miss
Plant is the daughter of Mrs. Benja-
mine Plant, and is pupil at st.
Francis Parochial School. The plans
had all been arranged beforehand.
This morning Miss Plant arose before
the rest of the family, ostensibly to
prepare her lesson for school. She
quietly walked to the station, and the
young folks took the train. They
will return here tomorrow, and live
with Mr.. Lushbaugh, the father of
the young man.
Contrary to report, elopement No.
2 did not fully mature. On Wednes-
day last Mr.. Slagle Souders and Miss
Edna Morrison left their homes in
Charlestown and came to Harper's
Ferry to be married. They were
closely pursued by the parents of the
bride-to be, who reached here before
the knot could be tied. Sensational
reports of cowhide carried by the
mother, ETC., have been circulating
but were probably exaggerated. An
amicable settlement of the matter
was finally effected, we understand,
the parents agreeing to sanction the
marriage, by and by. All returned
to Charlestown, where, 10 doubt, the
merry bells will soon announce in the
good old way another matrimonial
embarkation.
