munitY was greatly shocked few days
since by the announcement that Mrs.

had been living in the county about
fifteen or sixteen years. She is 80 years
old, and the mother of four children,
the oldest one now being at school in
England. Dears is an Englishman,
about so years of age, and before COM
inc to this country served in the Eng
lish army with the rank of captain. He
bad lived here about ten years, having
purchased farm in the county of 100
acres He had the misfortune to lose
his wife about five years since. She
was a most estinable lady. She left
four children; two of them are now in
the west; one is attending school at
Greenwood, and the fourth is at the
Miller Manual Labor School. The first
intimation of the elopement was
through letter from Mrs. Parkinson
to her husband, announcing that here
after her home would be with Mr..
Deare. This letter was mailed in
Florida, but the name of the postoffice
could not be made out. She has with
her two of her children, girls, aged,
respectively, IL and 9. Her husband
is endeavoring to find out her where
abouts, so as to get possession of the
children.

A SHARP TRIoK.-A debtor played a
shrewd trick upon Justice O'Neil few
days ago and as consequences the JUS
tice is out just $40. It happenedi in this
way: Judgment was rendered against
one John Beatty, an employee of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railway Company,
and that gentleman promised Justice
O'Neil that he would pay the amount
to a constable if the justice would send
one with him to the paymaster, rs
it was payday. Accordingly q man
was sent with Beatty to the Baltimore
and Ohio pay station, where Beatty
told the pay clerk to give the messen-
ger $40. The clerk placed the requir-
ed sum on the counter in separate
pile from the other money. Theu, it Is
alleged, Beatty reached his hand for
ward and captured both the papers in
the case, which had been laid on the
window sill, the $40 and, in fact, every
thing within reach. The messenger
from O'Neil was dumbstruck, but could
do nothing but take back the news to
the magistrate, who had to pay sl9
himself. Beatty is in Alexandria, the
constables say, and every effort is being
made to get him within the clutches OF
the law.-Washington Times.

CAUGHT IN A FOLDING BED.-At the
residence Of Mrs. Besler, in Cincinnati,
Mrs. Alfred Longnecker, mother OF
superintendent Morris Longnecker, o.
he Cincinnati gymnasium, and her
daughter Jennie, came near losing
their lives the other night. The two
women had just finished moving, and
being tired, retired early.
Charles Besler and party of young
men were playing cards in room on
the floor below. Suddenly they were
startled by hearing faint scream in
he room occupied by Mrs. Longneck-
er. The young men, on hearing an
other scream, hurried upstairs. %
reaching the room occupied by Mrs.
Longnecker, Besler tried to look
through the transom, but could see
nothing, as the room was in uttsr dark
ness.
He broke the glass and with some
difficulty he clambered through the
traDsom, badly lacerating his bands
ard body on the pieces of broken glass.
On striking a match be saw that the
heavy folding bed was closed. Ua-
locking the door he admitted his
friends, and with their assistance re-
leased the two unfortunate women.
Mrs. Longnecker's face was pressed
close to the bed, and she was slowly
sufocating. Miss Jennie had managed
to twist her head to one side, and was
able to scream for assistance. A ply
stefan was at once summoned. and
found that Mrs. Longnecker had sus-
tanned a severe shock, and that her
back was slightly strained.
The accident was caused by the
breaking of cross bar which held the
heavy headpiece of the bed in place.
Mrs. Longnecker in getting into bed
shook it only slightly, but enough for
the bed to close.
