LONDON, Sept. 5.-Thomas G. Shearman.
of Brooklyn, has long letter in the Times
this morning on political affairs in the
United States, in which he applauds the
selection of Palmer and Buckner by the
Indianapolis convention and predicts the
defeat of the Republicans in 1900 For, y

invariably won their greatest victories in
the years following their worst divisions
and defeats. The Republicans are largely

which the Democrats will come together
on a platform, roughly speaking for free

LONDON, Sept. 5-The Morning Post, in
an editorial on the Indianapolis convention,
says: THE convention at Indianapolis

pleasant assurances that good sense and

GIRL GONE WRONG.
A Designing Man Perpetrates a SEN
sationaI Piece of Villainy.

Eudora. Kan. Oct 19.-There was a
ripple of excitement here Thursday
when the State Journals Los Angeles
dispatch conveyed the first news Of the
reported marriage of a wealthy Eudora
girl to George L. Quinn, who shortly
afterward deserted her ana who was
arrested in Los Angeles, living with an
other woman. with whom he decamped
from New York. Quinn was arrested
for raising q check of a New York firm
for whom he worked from SAL to s741.
It develops that the young lady in
the case was not EudOra girl, but was
from New Jersey. and is niece Of
Mrs SinO Stanley, who lives three
miles west Of here She met Quinn en-
route from New Jersey to EudOra, where
she was coming to live with her aunt
and attend school. She is not sup
posed to be very wealthy. There was
another couple in the party who stop
ped off, and together they drove out to
the Stanley farm. Quinn represented
himself to be a wealthy ranchman and
proposed that they be married and con-
tinue their journey west. Mrs. stan
ley demurred and wanted Quinn to go
on to his supposed ranch and send for
the girl later. He would probably have
done this had not a neighbor who was
an intimate friend of the family step
ped in and helped Quinn carry out his
plans.
The couple accordingly went to Law
renee and were married by Judge Nor
ton. Quinn deserted the girl in few
days and left for parts unknown 1t
is not known who the other couple
were, but the woman is supposed to be
the Gamble woman VINO left New York
with Quinn and was living with him
when he was arrested
Quinn's victim was about 19 years
old very good looking and bright, but
not very well UP in the ways Of the
world.
Persons who saw the parties in Eu-
dora on one Of their visits say they
were all under the influence of liquor
probably too much wine taken at the
wedding dinner. and conducted them
selves in a manner to attract a great
deal of attention. The girls smoked
cigarettes and the men spent money
freely and had a hilarious time
Mrs. Stanley feels very bitter toward
the neighbor who assisted Quinn in his
little pade.
Since the dispatch from Los Angeles
appeared the young lady has been look
ing for word from Quinn and has sent
to the local telegraph office inqurlng
for a telegram, supposedly from him.
The young ladys name is not known
here.
