ELOPED ON A STEER.
The Bride and Bridegroom Had Diff.
Guilty in Getting Married.

Parkersburg, W. Va, Jept. 90
Thursday morning young couple ap-
peared in Welch, Mcdowell county.
They we're Miss Goats. pretty,
peachy checked country damsel OF II,
and Sandy Johnson, a tall, stalwart,
good-looking mountaineer of % years. |
They had travelled all night from the
brides home on Ground Hog creek, in
order to elude the obdurate father of
the girl. The girl was riding on the
back of spotted steer, and Sandy
was running by her side. The unus-
ual sight soon drew a crowd of people
and as everybody loves lover, half a
dozen hurried off after magistrate or
q preacher. Unluckily for the lovers
no official could be found who would
marry them, on account OF the girls
age. When the couple learned of this
they both broke down and cried, the
girl sobbing as if nearly heartbroken.
The tears OF the pretty young girl
brought about determination on the
part of the spectators to see them
through in some way, and one sag
gested that they take the train, then
nearly due, for Bristol, tenn, where
they would find no difficulty in get
ting married. This proposition chaned
the tears of the bride into smiles OF
Joy, and Sandy's less apparent grief
into .open-mouthed delight for a mo-
ment, until he thought of the expense.
Some one in the crowd, however, an
ticipated the young man, and pro
posed that the crowd pay all expenses
and in less time than it takes to write
it pocketbooks were out and enough
money was contributed to carry the
couple through, with a souvenir left
over for the bride.
The spotted steer was stalled in
front OF pile of oats and corn to ru
inmate in peace and plenty until the
return of the couple, and the process
sion headed for the platform. Neither
of the couple had ever seen train be
fore, and when it pulled in they go
on the platform between the engin,
and baggage car. Their sponsors soor
remedied this mistake and had then

from Thomasyille, Ga, to the Morning
News says: About week ago the
store of Jim Russin, of Metcalfe, Ga,

vide the booty among which was q
twenty-five pound can of powder. In
dividing the powder some was spilled
on the floor. Shade threw spoonful
of this into the fire, which flashed and
set off the rest on the floor. This in
turn caused the can TO explode, which
demolished the house and dreadfully
mangled the two thieves. The rool
and one side OF the house was blown
entirely away. A shotgun lying neal
was also discharged the load taking ef

Mrs. Baskin buried her husband in
Andover ten years ago large amount
OF valuable real estate was left to their
child. This angered the family of her
dead husband and some of his relations
vowed vengence.
During July, 1884, the little boy was
suddenly carried away by two men,,

escaped from the marshal's posse that

then thrown into the courts and was
awarded to the widow. 1t was subse-

uncles were the men who had spirited
him away. They went west, and only
lately informed the boy that his moth
er was alive. He at once wrote to her,

went after it, and as he passed the main
hatch was surprised to see a light cloud
of smoke arising out of it. The odor was
sufficient to apprise him of the fact that
the cargo Of sulphur was on fire, but as
the smoke was not very dense he hast
ened down the hatch to discover where
the fire lay.
The Fire Department was summoned, the
matches were battened and streams poured
into the iron hull, which was but a fur
mace. There is no possibility of saving
the cargo, and the Underwriters only
hope is to save enough of the hull afIoat
for junk.

California Express Train Held Up and
Robbed of $4,000.
CIMARRoN On. NJ, June 1.-THE Cali
tornia express, west-bound, on the Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe road, was held
up near here and the express car robbed
of $1,000 early yesterday morning by five
bandits, who tagged the train and forced
the fireman and engineer, at the point of
revolvers, to accompany them to the ex-
press car.
Express Messenger Whittelsey refused
to open the door and the robbers fired
into the car and wounded him. He still
refused to open the door. Then the rob-
bers blew open the door with dynamite.
and rifed the car of everything of value
except what was contained in the
through safe.
The express messengers strong box
was opened and the contents stolen. 1t
contained 1000 silver dollars and other
valuables, the amount not ascertained, but
presumably small, because the box con-
tanned matter for way stations only.
Whittelsey was not seriously hurt. He
is the messenger who stood off the Dalton
gang at Red Rock, l. T., year ago. He
completed the trip to Santa Fe.
While two bandits were going through
the express car their three companions
stood outside firing at the passenger
coaches and otherwise intimidating the
passengers. Ten thousand dollars in
currency and some jewelry hidden by the
messenger were not found by the out
laws. No attempt was made to rob pas-
sengers, and as soon as the outlaws had
cleaned out the express safe they fired
parting volley, put spurs to their horses
and dashed off southwark. The train ran
back to Cimarron, and an alarm was
given. A Sheriff's posse was soon in
pursuit, but could only track the outlaws
a few miles, where they had stopped and
divided the booty, as several dollars were
found
