RATHER A SAD ROMANCE.
Guy and Rose Ran Away and Roses Moth
er Became Insane.
Especial to the Press.]


Saco, September 20.-A romantic elope-
ment is all that is talked about here to-
night. The girls mother is insane over
the event. Guy Burnham, tai, muscular
mason of 81 years, is the hero. The
heroine is a little rosy checked blonde,
Rose Lane by name, the sixteen years old
daughter of Josiah Lane, well known
citizen. Guy and Rose left late this
afternoon. Both families live on Hill
street, and the young couple have been
engaged for some time, but Mrs. Lane
refused to let Burnham enter the house.
He and Rose had agreed to be married
next Monday, but the girls parents got
wind of the affair and sent for Guy. 1t
is said that lively conversation ensued.
Guy bought a new suit and enough
mems furnishings to supply him for a
year, and then they eloped without
leaving trace behind, except a letter
from Rose to her mother. Mrs. Lane
found out what had happened late this
afternoon and was so wrought up by the
news that she acted like a wild woman.
1t required four men to hold her, and
DIR. May bury, who was called, pro-
nounced her the most violent insane per-
son he ever saw. Her shrieks aroused the
neigh hborhood. The letter left by the
girl stated that if Guy had been allowed
entrance to the house she would never
have eloped 1t is generally supposed the
couple left on the 4 O'Clock train for
Dover, N. H., where people who are in a
hurry are married expeditiously.

THEY PREFER HUMILIATION TO
DEFEAT IN THE HOUSE
And Get the Tucker Bill Reported by
Trampling on Their Own Rules and All
Been Done Properly Under Reed
Rules Violently Accomplishments
Lost His Temper and Told Reed to Sit
Down.
Especial to the Press.l

Washington, September 20.-By the
greatest amount of effort and the crack
ing of whips in all directions, the Demo
Gratis were actually able today to muster
a quorum in the House SO that they
could do business. This is great
achievement and should not be forgotten
by the country. Before this was accom-
plished there was more or less exciting
time in the House and the present code
of rules which was adopted after SC
much trouble, had to be virtually set on
one side, and what was practically a
new rule adopted to suit the occasion.
Speaker Crisp copied leaf from out Of
the book of Mr.. Reed, and although the
Reed rules have been made target fol
Democratic abuse, it was found today
that they were not such bad thing after
all Mr.. Crisp found that the only way
he could get the House to do business
was by refusing to entertain dllatOry
motions, and this he did i'll a most high
handed fashion. Motions made by Mr..
Burrows and other Republicans were
choked off and they were refused hear
temper and in most preemptory manner
ordered Mr.. Reed to take his seat,
although at that time he had the floor
by right and was attempting to address
the Chair. OF course this exhibition on
the part of the Speaker was received
with cheers by the Democrats, but it
more than vindicated the position taken
by Mr.. Reed during the debate when the
present rules were under discussion. Mr..
Reed made two short but extremely
bright speeches today, both of which as
usual were listened to with the utmost
attention by the entire House, and vigor-
ousIy applauded by the Repu blicans.
He denounced the Democrats for their
attempts to interfere with the right of
the ballot in trying to repeal the Federal
election laws and was particularly pun
gent in his comments on the rulings of
the Speaker and the rules of the House.
The net result of todays' action is that
Mr. Tucker will at last be able tomorrow
to report his bill for the repeal OF the
Federal election laws but that will not
prevent the fight from being renewed
when the bill comes up for consideration.
The Republicans are determined to pre-
vent the passage of the bill if possible
and will oppose it by every means IN
their power
No one now believes there is any pros
pect of passing an unconditional repeal
bill in the Senate. The silver men..have
power to prevent a vote and this they
will be able to do to the last. The fight
must end either in compromise or else in
the defeat of the bill. Mr.. Cleveland re-
fuses to compromise and the silver men
refuse to yield, so the prospects for an in
definite deadlock are extremely good.

THE STORY AS TOLD HERE.
Reports Say that as Much as $4,000 Was
Stolen.

Reports Say that as Much as $4,000 Was
Stolen.
The robbery Of the Staples brothers
was reported to the Portland authorities
yesterday. A despatch from one of the
Limerick town officers to Marshal Trick
ey said that $4,000 had been stolen. The
despatch requested the services of an Of
ficer from Portland, and Deputy Sheriff
Plummer went to Limerick in re-
sponse to the request. A gentleman who
was in the vicinity of Limerick yester-
day was told that the amount taken was
between $4,000 and $4,000 of which 5000
was in gold.
It was also reported here that the
brothers had had until recently several
thousand dollars of their money in a
bank. When the recent financial uncer-
tainty began, they became afraid to
trust their wealth to bank vaults. In
stead, they placed it in trunks with the
balance of their money. When the
thieves entered the house, they took
these trunks and carried them out with
out opening them. Afterwards when
the Staples brothers had discovered
their loss, they searched for the trunks
and found them in nearby field, brok-
en- open and robbed of their contents.
The robbers also attempted to enter a
house near the Staples place. A woman,
member of the family occupying this
house, was aroused about midnight on
the night before the Staples rob
berry by the noise made by the
thieves in their attempts to gain an en-
trance She opened awindow and asked
what was wanted, whereupon the burg
lars made off. One theory is that the
thieves had mistaken, this house for that
OF the Staples brothers. The facts of
the robbery seem to indicate that it was
the work of parties who knew consider
able about the possessions and habits of
the Staples family.

They Have Declared jefferson Parish I'm
der Martial Law and Shoot at Strang-

groes Have Called Great Mass;Meet-
ing and Movement Is on Foot to Call
Out the State Troops.
New Orleans, La, September 20.--
Leading colored men of the city held
secret meeting last night. "A committee
has been appointed to call on the COVER
nor and ask for troops for protection
against the reign of terror axisting in
Jefferson Parish, on the outskirts of the
city. A mass meeting of all the colored
citizens of the state has been called for
Monday in this city, and from the indi-
cations serious trouble may be expected.
Jefferson Parish has been declared under
martial law by it's residents. The sheriff,
judges, state senators and representa-
tives are leaders of the regulators, to-
gether with ali other white officials. All
newspaper men were conducted outside
the lines last night, and ordered to re-
main away in future. 1t is impossible to
learn what is now going on, or whether
Julian, the murderer of Judge Estopi-
nal, has been captured and burned at the
stake. A line of sentries along the city
boundary fired several shots about mid
night at persons who would not halt. It
is believed that the state troops will be
called out today. Many white women
and children from Jefferson have come
to the city for refuge. Blood hounds
from the penitentiary were let loose this
morning in the swamps, where it is
thought the murderer is hiding. A cor
respondent saw preparations made for
the reception of the murderer when
caught. 1t is intended to suspend Juli-
an by the arms over fire. Long irons,
like branding irons, are in readiness, and
when red hot the man will be tortured
with them while the fire underneath
him burns. A description of the prepa-
rations will undoubtedly cause the gov
ernor to mass troops in the neighbor-
hood.

BATH WAS FRIGHTENED.
Gen. Hyde Joked and People Heard the
Iron Works Were To Move Away.
Especial to the Press.1

Bath, September 20. The announce
ment that there is project of the Bath
Iron Works removing from the city has
occasioned feelings something like con-
sternation. The wonderful success of
Gen. Hyde as the builder of the Machias
and Castine has made him the recipient
of a fattering offer from capitalists in
New London, who would like to have
him move his plant thither. The in
ducements offered it is understood, are
the saving in freight on coal and iron
and the prospects of obtaining large re-
pairing contracts. The General is absent
in Washington, and nothing more definite
can be learned of the offer of the New
London parties.
1t is certainly hoped that the offer will
not be accepted. Should the plant be
moved certain parts .jof it, the land,
wharves and buildings, would be a dead
loss. Then again Gen. Hyde has strong
affection for the city of Bath, and for
the sturdy men who have assisted him in
founding and carrying out his successful
enterprise. The prevailing opinion is
that the offer will be declined, as it is
certainly to be hoped it will, for without
the iron works, business in Bath would
be away down below low water mark.
Citizens while startled at the rumor
take comfort from Gen. Hyde's own words
at the Ammen ram banquet: LAS long
as YOU aid me with your strong arms
and willing hands, will do my best to
Obtain work for YOU +"

Limington. September 20.-Last night
burglars entered the dwelling house of
Henry II. and Nathaniel Staples, living
on the edge of Limerick and stole $4,000
in money consisting of gold, silver and
bills, the earnings of life time. The
Staples brothers. three IN number, Hen-
ry, Humphrey and Nathaniel Staples,
are from IS to 10 years of age. They
live in the edge of Limerick some two
and one-half miles westerly of Lining
ton village, just off the main road to
Limerick. on that portion of land SET off
from Limington to Limerick some 20
years ago. The Staples brothers are
farmers, the third one, Humphrey, hav-
ing sold out his share of the property
several years ago to his brothers Henry
and Nathaniel, but living with them.
The brothers have been raisers OF nice
stock in the past and from it have accu-
mulated large amount of money. In
the days of the war they sold a pair of
oxen for S400. They have boarded their
wealth rather than letting it out or put
ting it into banks, and it has been gem
orally understood that their money was
not kept at their own house, but at
brother-in-laws. The family for num-
ber of years have maintained no regular
housekeer and at the present time had
none. AT the time of the burglary Hen
ry was in room of the house sick and
the other two brothers were out milk
ing. There is no clue as yet to the per-
petratOrS.

THE VALLEY OF HUMILIATION.
Mr.. Reeds Description of the Democratic
Performance.


Washington, September 20. The House
committee on rules this morning author
lied by party vote the report to the
House of what is termed by Messrs. Reed
and Burrows, the minority of the COM
mittee, as the most drastic measure ever
proposed to any legislative body. 1t pro-
vldes that upon the adoption of the order
the Speaker shall proceed to call COM
mittees for reports; and until that order
is exhausted no motion whatever shall
be in order or entertained by the Speak
er.
|. After the committee had formally adj
iourned, the majority members re-
mained in conference in the room of the
Speaker The further programme respect
ing the election bill was discussed, and it
was stated afterwards by one of the
members that an order would probably
he reported tomorrow for the considera-
tion of the bill beginning next Tuesday.
When the House convened, the fight
over the Federal election bill was re-
sumed.
Mr.. Burrows moved. to dispense with
the call of committees for reports.
Pending this, Mr.. Catchings, Dem, of
Mississippi presented resolution from

that the resolution was not in order
The Speaker overruled the point of or

great confusion. Mr.. Reed made one of
his witty speeches. in which he de-
nounced the Speakers decision. If the

so; but if Herod was to be

The Speaker then stated that the pend
inc motion was that made by MIR.
Burrows. to dispense with the call OF

Mr.. Catchings demanded the previous
question on the report OF the coinmlI1ee
on r11es and another wrangle took place
between Mr.. Payne and the Speaker over
the ouestion of consideration. The
Speaker then announced that he would
entertain no motion as against the report
of the committee on rules, nor would he
entertain any appeal from his DECISION
on any motion which was covered by
the resolution preseatsd by the committee
on rules. After this declaration, the
Speaker was the recipient OF wave OF
applause from his Democratic colleagues,
