A RUNAWAY COUPLE INTERCEPTED.
Detective Weldon yesterday arrested
in Washington young man named
Lee Elan and a seventeen-year-old
miss named Hunter Marshall, who
had eloped from West Point, Va, for
the purpose of getting married. The
arrest was made on telegram sent by
the would-be brides parents. The girl
is pretty. She has an oval face of ex-
quisite contour, the darkest and most
lustrous of eyes, thick wavy black hair,
full scarlet lips. and a profound air of
tenderness. She is the youngest daugh-
ter of Captain Henry Marshall, of the
steamer Elm City, running on the Pa.
munky river. Elan is from Richmond
originally, going to West Point year
ago. He and the girl fell in love and
became engaged secretly. They board
ed the o'clock train for Richmond.
Elan seemed to have plenty of money
and decided to obtain legal advice. He
consulted Attorney John A. Barthel
and stated the case to him. Barthel
went to the station and saw the girl
and asked her how old she was.
Seventeen last February" she replied.
"That settles it," said Barthel, "you
can't do thing, Elan; she's under age
and will have to stay here until her
people take her home" Elan was
greatly chagrined, but he said he'd
have her yet.

The REPUBLICAN managers at st.
Louis continue to say the tariff, and not
the currency, question is the chief issue
of the approaching election. And yet
the commercial reports show that the
manufactured articles of this country
are superceding those of England in
many of the foreign markets, by reason
of the lower price at which they can be
sold, with profit. If the products of this
country can be sold abroad at cheaper
rates than those of the countries to
which they are sent, doesn't it seem
preposterous that a political party,
striving for success, should declare it
self in favor of increasing the duty on
those products, so as to raise the price
thereof to home consumers? The pur-
pose, OF course, is to double the profits of
the manufacturers and thereby to en-
able them to continue and enlarge their
contributions to the republican election
fund; but it is impossible for reasonable
men, with any faith in the common
sense of the average voter, to suppose
that such purpose can be popular.

RIGHT AS the gold standard unques-
tiouably is, there is no doubt of the
fact, that, under such standard, the
democratic party had no conceivable
chance of victory, and that its most san
nuine members had abandoned all hope
of success and had reconciled them
selves to republican domination during
the next four years. That its adoption
of the free silver idea has changed all
this, revived its dead hopes and stimu-
lated it to renewed and increased efforts,
is no less plain; nor is the fact that I'M
certainty and anxiety have replaced
the confidence and contentment that
had until then, possessed the souls OF
the managers of the republican party.
Where all was gloom and dependency
at democratic resorts, there is now
buoyancy and cheerfulness, and the be-
lief is daily spreading that the clouds
that lowered over the party have been
dissipated and that the nominee of the
Chicago convention, though not better
than his party, will be elected. AS the
the wise mariner seeks any port in a
storm, SO the silver standard may be q
good enough Morgan for the democratic
party in its present straits.

FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE -. 1896.
SOME OF the newspapers of the State

SOME OF the newspapers of the State
continue their animadversions upon
Senator Martin, for what they cali his
sudden conversion from the gold, TO
the silver standard, at the Staunton
convention last week. In doing so they
are entirely of. Mr.. Martin, ike many
other of the wiser men of his party,
does not believe that cheap money will
rebound to the interest of his State or
to that of the country, but he is DEM
ocrat, and months ago, as can be seen
by reference to the GAzETTE's Wash
ington correspondence of that time,
realizing the fact that the vast majority
of his party in his State, and in all the
other democratic States, were in favor
of free silver, he said there was no sense
in swimming against the tide, that the
democratic party had more things to
fight for than the currency, and that
where his party went, he would go also,
"a he never had entertained the idea
that he or any other man was wiser or
better than his party. That he spoke
the naked truth when he said, in his
speech at Staunton, that Mr.. Cleveland
was a "party wrecker" is patent to all
unpreiudiced observers, and that it was
to the convention, was proved by the
applause it received.

THE FALLS CHURH RAILwAY.-Work on
tle Falls Church electric railway is being
pushed forward rapidly. Contractor Cation
has graded the route to within short dis
lance of Falls Church, and will finish his
work by the end of the month. The tracks
of the road have been laid as far as Ballston
which is only short distance from Falls
Church. Some difficulty has been expert
enced in crossing the tracks of the Washing
ton and Ohio branch of the Southern read.
The railroad corporation docs not want tho
electric line to reach Falls Church if such can
be prevented, as the steam line will suffer in
competition with the electric road. The
Falls Church road, however, expects to over
come the difficulty in short while and make
the necessary crossing.
