Shaker Community shaken by Rumors of
 an Eiopement,
 Albany, Dev 12.-NeW Lebanon, in the northeastern part ofNColumbia coun- ty, is torn with excitement, and for the first time in many years things world .y have crept in to disturb the peaceful repose of the gentle sect of Shakers, According to common rumor Elder Evans, the head of the church in Amer ica, has gone away with pretty Mabel Franklin, sister in the community and bookkeeper for the religious family. Whether or not the two have parted, certain it is that they left on the same train last Thursday, each possessing a ticket for Chatham.
 Elder Evans is fifty-five years old, while Sister Frankliai Is but twenty five The elder is solemn and given 10 lectures upon morality, while the sister Is vivacious and a sample of the coming woman--at least when she first came 10 New Lebanon, she was an enthusiastic rider of the "bilse.' Elder Evans has been Shaker for thirty years, while Sister Franklin has been with the com munity but six months.
 Everyone in and around the settle ment is talking of the disappearance of the two. Lebanon Springs, a mile and a half north of New Lebanon, it appears that Elder Evans last Thurs day evening boarded the down train At New Lebanon Sister Franklin was awaiting the arrival of the train. When 1t departed from New Lebanon Sister Mabel-for that is the name by which she was known--had bean added to the cargo of passengers. They have not been seen since--at least. not there, To what quarter of the globe they have gone can only be sur1nised, but that they went together there seems to be no doubt in the minds of the villagers.
