Our old friend Frank Scoville exult
ingly asks, What is the matter with
Illinois?" There's nothing the matter
with Illinois; she's all right. We con
graduate Mr.. Scoville, assuring hin
that we always had a well-founded faith
that the leaven of Missouri Democracy
working through him would at length
assure the salvation of the Sucker State
There was an encounter. fearful in
its consequences, and bloody in its pos
sibilities, in the neighborhood of the
depot one day last week. Two young
and aggressive striplings disputed, and
from thence to scrapping. Several
ticks were passed, but no Disagreement
resulted. In due time the ..white wings
of peace" lowered over the disturbing
element, and all is now lovely and
serene once more.

of early winter, penetrating the thread

DIR. J. III. W. Muma, ..philosopher
well-digger, miueralOgist, etc, had A.
Begley arrested one day last week for
an alleged assault committed November
Sd. Muma had dug a well for Mr..
Begley and there was some misunder-
standing as to the price to be paid.
| The DR.. went TO see Mr.. Begley in ref
erence to the matter, when they had
some words and came to blows. The
case was tried before Justice AXE Tues
day, and the jury returned a verdict of
mot guilty. Mr.. Edgar appeared for
the defense.
A rear-end collision between two
stock trains on the little treStle
just north OF the Arcadia depot Monday
night, about eleven O'Clock, blockaded
the track for six hours. 1t seems that
the two stock trains were coming down
hill, and just as the first one reached
| the tank, the operator turned the signal
board. The engineer stopped his train
as soon as possible, the caboose resting
on the trestle; the second train, with a
pusher in front, also applied the brakes,
but could not stop in time and struck
the first caboOse at the rate of about
six miles an hour. a stock car in front
of the caboose. double decked and load
ed with sheep and hogs, was badly
mashed. and number of both were
killed, the others escaping in the dark
ness. The engine on the rear train
was forced on 10 the tender of the
pusher, whose crew escaped injury by
jumping before the collision. The
track was in no way disfgured and by
five o'clock next morning traffic was
resumed. 1t was a fortunate thing that
the second train was supplied with air,
that it would have been q serious
wreck, and both the trains, all stock,
would have been completely demol-
ished. As it is only about four cars
were wrecked beyond repair. The
pusher crew escaped by jumping;
BALKAN Polk, the fireman, was bruised
about the face but not seriously.
The following has been going the
rounds of the daily and country press
for a couple of weeks past:
..IRoNToN Mo-, Nov. 15.-Henry
Jones is popular young man in the
best circles of the city. He is success
full in business and has promising flu
ture. Last July he eloped with and
married Clara, daughter of j. f. Nor
gan, a travelling passenger agent of
the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad. A
few hours after the wedding the bride
was forcibly taken from her husband
by her parents. Jones instituted habeas
corpus proceedings, but at the hearing
his bride strangely denounced him, and
was taken home to her parents. Jones,
however, believing that her action was
not voluntary, remained faithful, and
though lne Sirl NdS JtetioiiSiS SudIucu,
the two managed to communicate at
times and to plan flight. Yesterday
afternoon the opportunity came. The
young woman's family, thinking Jones
was out of town, went to the theatre.
The girl went to a neighbours and sent
for Jones, who procured vehicle and
eloped with his own wife to station
some miles away. The couple are now
beyond reach. When the MOrgans re-
turned from the matinee they were fur
ious. The girls brother, George, went
to the Jones home, and being refused
admittance began kicking in the door.

We do not know of any one here to
whom the foregoing would apply. and
we take it that it should read Ironton,
Ohio, instead of Missouri.
