MARRIAGE UNDER DIFFICULTIES,
Sensational EIOpement of the Rev.
Mr.. ShriveIy's Sister.

BUFFALO, n. Y, May 27.-The north
ern part of the city. known as Kensing-
ton, is all agog with the story Of the
elopement Of pretty Nellie Shrively and
the exciting pursuit made by her brother,
the Rev. William Shrively, pastor Of the
Kensington methodist episcopal church.
Miss Shrively lived with her brother un-
til yesterday She was in love with a
young carpenter named Bert Sayles, but
her brother disapproved of the match,
and when he found the lovers meeting
clandestinely he put a close watch on
Nellie. Last night he looked out of
his study window where he was
preparing his sermon for today and saw
the couple making their way rapidly up
the street In the rain. The parson was
only partly attlred. He opened the win
dow and shouted to his sister to come
back. Instead, Nellie and Bert started
across fields, through the deep grass, the
preacher after them, without hat or coat
or vest. He overlook the couple half a
mile from the house. Young Sayles
grappled with him, threw him down, sat
on him. and cried:
Run, Nellie, rum
Nellie did run and took refuge in the
house of J. j. Warren. Then Sayles re-
leased the preacher and ran. He and
Nellie went into the garret of the War
ren house. but when the Rev. Mr..
Shrively arrived Mr. Warren ordered
them out. Sayles refused TO go. but was
forced to do so by two policemen, leav-
ing Nellie behind. Then Mr.. Shrively
took his sister by force and put her into
Warren's buggy. which stood in front Of
the house and made a dash for his home.
Sayles ran along behind the carriage,
and as the roads were muddy, managed
10 keep up with the horses.
When the buggy drew up in front Of
the house Nellie jumped out and run
into the house and slammed and locked
the door behind her barring out her
brother. Then she ran to the rear door
and passed out into the stable. Her
brother did not discover her escape un-
til he had searched the whole house. In
the meantime Sayles had Joined the
girl and they ran all the way
to his brothers house, on Hill-st.,
where they were married at II o'clock
last night by the Rev. James Barry, pas
tor Of the church of the Good Shepard,
who is not on the most friendly terms
with Mr.. Shrively.
Mr. Shrively preached to the largest
congregation he had ever known at the
Kensington church today. for the story

tion against the striking miners. The

The bituminous operators Of Indiana

The result was disappointing for any
settlement. President j. Smith TalleY

convention in the history Of the associa-
ton, thirty being present.
The operators unanimously decided to
stand by their resolutions passed before
the Cleveland convention to the effect that
they would not sign any scale that was
relatively higher than that paid by the
Illinois operators, as in times past.
1t was also decided that no operator
should sign a scale unless all signed,

ANOTHER POINT FOR MADELINE.
Judge bradley Refuses TO Allow n
Bill of Exceptions.

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-Judge Brad
ley this afternoon overruled the motion
made by counsel for Col. William c. p.
Breckenridge TO file a bin OF exceptions
by virtue of which the suit Of Miss
Madeline Pollard against him might be
carried to a higher court on appeal. This
action was taken because OF the obiec-
ton made by counsel for Miss Pollard
that Mr.. Breckinridge had not complied
with the law requiring that the bill OF
exceptions be furnished TO them within
three days, Sundays excluded, before the
expiration of the time within which the
motion to file had been made. The ef-
feet Of this apparently viii be TO prevent
an appeal being taken.

DETAILS OF THE TROUBLE.
Three VOIieys Fired at Close Range
by the Deputies.

Shortly after midnight last night 1000
strikers assembled at the Sickle hollow
plants, coming from Lucyville, Fayette
City, Freeport, AIlenport and many other
points on the Monongahela river. Some
Of them were armed. but the majority
were not. They went into camp near
the plant, where they remained until 3
o'clock, when they adjourned to the pub
lie road leading to the works, and over
which the workmen would have to pass
to the pit Here they formed a line to
interrupt the workmen and attempt to
get them to return home. According to
the plans they stopped the first delega-
ton Of miners, and by a little persuasion
induced them to joint the strike.
The men turned, and about the time
they were starting back home with their
dinner-buckets the deputies, who were
on guard and witnesses to the affair,
were ordered to shoot. They fired three
volleys into the mob at a range Of only
about fifty yards. The first voley
brought forth no response from the strik-
ers. who were thought TO be we'll armed,
but instead they ran in every direction,
leaving the dead and wounded lying in
the public road. The deputies followed
with two more voileys and were shoot-

The Big Four mines have for the past
three days been running with about
thirty men. and yesterday they refused
to come out at the request Of the local
committee. The DuQuoin strikers board
ed freight train in this city and forced
the engineer, Charles Stewart, 10 haul
them here. Sheriff Helms was notified
at Salem that the men were coming and
a special engine was sent to convey him
here, but he had not arrived in time to
prevent the destruction OF property.
After the strikers had completed their
work of destruction they left the city
and two miles north separated in two
gangs, one party going 70 Sandoval and
the other to Odin. The mines are run
niuB at Ouln ana II was expected llat
destruction of property would follow
their arrival there.
Sheriff Helms swore in 125 deputies
and after arming them chartered a train
and started to Sandoval, where the west
gang was Overhauled, already headed
for Odin. The train was quickly trans
ferred to the Baltimore 6S Ohio track and
the deputies reached Odin a few minutes
in advance of the two branches Of the
mob. The strikers were surrounded and
a few shots fired, but no harm done. A
portion of the mob surrendered and the
remainder fed. About eighty men were
arrested and brought here. This evening
twenty more We're brought in and all
are now locked in the city hall.
CENTRALIA, Ill, May 2S.-The four
companies of state troops that have been
quartered here since the destruction of
the Big Four mine by Duquoin strikers
left the city today for their respective
homes. The bailiffs have all been re-
leased from duty. The last prisoners
were bailed out by friends today, and
everything indicates that the troubles
here are ended. The Big Four mine IS
repairing the wrecked property, and the
operators have given notice that they
will resume work in few days and give
employment to all their men who want
work. The city council met tonight in
special session and offered the operators
protection from outside interference at
any time called on, and will swear in
twenty-five extra police for that pur-
pose tomorrow.
OTTAWA, H.. May 2S.-The trouble
among the miners at Marseilles has evil

moved from the shaft and the miners at
that place all worked this afternoon.

Gov mAINneWS DOESN'T Nne
Strike SeriOus-An Injunction.
The condition of the strike among the
miners in the western part of the state
remains unchanged. Governor Matthews
stated yesterday that he had received no
official information that the condition
was so serious or that the strike had
assumed such proportions that it was
necessary to call out the troops. The
governor. was indignant at a report from
Terre Haute that Capt. G.. w. Beigler
had been called TO this city at his in
stance, through Adjt.-Gen. Robbins. to
consult upon the possibility of the need
of sending troops to the scene of the dis
turbance. He said. in regard to the
rumor: capt. Beigler was not called TO
the city for a conference on this affair.
He was not asked to come to the city
by the acknowledgement. and there has
been no conference with the captain look
ing toward ordering out the troops"
