KENT'S CHILD BRIDE.
He Walked With Her TO Biugbamton
and There They We're Married.
Came Back and Was Arrested.

Hugh Kent, 35 years of age, and Liz
zie Travena, aged IA years, who eloped
from the North End section of the city
about two weeks ago, have returned as
man and wife. The circumstances sur
rounding their clandestine marriage
read like an Albert Ross romance.
The two met about a year ago and
an attachment sprang up. Kent is
widower and to save the girls good
name he eloped with her two weeks
ago. They had no money and walked
all the way to Binghamton.
Footsore and weary the two reached
there last Friday and were married the
next day. Neither had any money to
pay the minister's fee, but the price
was advanced by Miss Davitt, a cousin
of Miss Travena.
Miss Davitt was not the lady's latest
name. as she also had eloped and her
husband was with her at the time the
Scranton elopers met them. Miss Davitt
besides paying the minister's fee, also
gave the young Scranton bride a long
dress, which helped the girl to make
the minister believe her claim of Is
years.
The girl is very small, while Kent is
rather tall. They were married and
returned to this city. Now the real
| trouble begins. 1t is not that one has
become weary of the other; they think
as much of each other as ever they did;
| but the parents of Mrs. Kent object.
| They don't appreciate the humor Of
their 14-year-oId daughter marrying a
widower with three children. Accord
| ingly a warrant was sworn out before
| Alderman Millar Wednesday and Kent
was arrested at Plymouth. The charge
was abduction.
Kent was taken before Alderman
Millar yesterday. He, with his bride
and her parents, occupied adjacent
seats all the morning, but the case
could not proceed for the very reason
that there was no case. The charge of
abduction could not stand because the
girl is over ten years of age. In the
afternoon Kent was discharged on his
own recognizance. His bride was taken
home with her parents. She preferred
to go with her husband, but her pa
rents would not consent.
Kent is also anxious for his wife to
Join him and his three children. His
home is in Wilkes Barre.

KOR0SKI SENT TO JAIL.
His Ofiense Is That He Loved Mary
Pinioski Against Her Parents
wishes-.She Has Disappeared.

A curious case of parents trying TO
compel their daughter to marry q
man she dislikes and carrying their
wishes so far as to have the girls
10 er iacarcerated IN jafl on a serious
Ole, Sc in which the girl herself is con-
oerned, reached the county Jail last
evening.
The girl is Mary Penloski and her
age, remarkable to state, Is 13 years.
The man she loves and who Is now
in the county Jail because of his recip-
rocity OF affection Is Frank Koroski, n
19-year-old youth. All live at Price
burg
Mary Pinloska has disappeared and
| Ii is known that she was so badly
beaten Tuesday night by her parents
that she Is marked with bruises from
| head to foot.
Where she Is now is not known and
| the parents have gone so far as to is
sue a warrant for her arrest charging
| her with "complicity" with the young
man who is in jail.
The trouble has been brewing for
| the past year or since the time that
young Koroski met the girl. The par
| ents Of the girl had previously select
ed her future husband in the person OF
a middle eyed man who resides in
Priceburg. Mary would not consent
however, and as a final resort her
mother, Mrs. Annie Pinloski went be-
fore Justice of the peace in Price
burg and swore out warrants for the
arrest of the girl and Koroski, on a
charge which, II would appear, the
girl is the most interested.
| Koroski was arrested and in default
of 5000 bail was committed to the coun-
| ty Jail.

This is the latest guy Detective
Clifford and Special officer Jack
Teirney are springing as they go along

met them drew the opinion that Van
Horn was here and in the station
house. The fact is he will arrive In
the city under escort of Lieutenant
Davis and Detective Moir some time
today.
The exact time Is not known. Chief
Robling expects a telegram from the
officers when they leave Sunbury. An
other certainty is that there will be
no public exhibition OF Van Horn.
Chief Robling said last night that II
at the appointed time of the hearing a

police station until some more conven-
lent hour-12 midnight or 6 a. m.

WHAT WE GAVE UNCLE
SAM LAST YEAR
About Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars
Paid 10 Collector in This District.
SOURCES REVENUE COMES FROM
Collections for the Fiscal Year End
ing June 30 Exceeded the Preced-
ing Year by slI,s7l,4l - The
Greatest Amount Received from
Any One Source Was from the Sale
officer stamps, Which sweiied the
Total Amount by ys497,29O.47.

Nearly 81 900, 900, or, to be exact,
s7sS, ,3s6.85, has been collected in this
Twelfth Internal Revenue district dur
ing the year which ended June 30.
This big sum exceeds the total collec-
tions for the year ending June 80,
1896, $7s6. .515.2i, by S1l,S71.41, which Is
quite a gain for a period marked by
business depression.
The revenue came from all manner OF
sources, beer, spirits, cigars and Gig
arettes, tobacco, special-tax and play
ing card stamps sold and from col
lections on lists" The only articles on
which no revenue was collected in the
district were snuff, oleomargarine and
filled cheese.
There are some interesting facts in
a comparison with the collections for
the fiscal year of 1S95-96. In the year
Just closed the lightest month was Feb
ruary in which the collections were
but s44,62SS7, as against $47,245.76 IN
February, 1896. The largest monthly
revenue was $15S,04S.75 in June, this
year, and $157,347.32 in June, 1896.
There was 10 oleomargarine revenue
this year. In 1896 the small sum of $50
came from this source. but it was for
Illegally sold and was seized, the pro-
ceeds reverting to the government.
The greatest revenue from any one
source was from beer stamps Which
netted $497. 7.29047. The next in order
were special-tax stamps. cigar and
cigarette stamps, tobacco stamps and
spirit stamps.
Compared with 1896 the collections
| were in round numbers as follows, the
| 1896 figures being mentioned firsl
Lists collections, s3,553, s1,92S; peel
stamps sold, s47Ss3s, 497,290; spirit

CALL THE NEXT CASE.
The Court Wouldn't Allow ANY Mon
keying with Established Practice.

From the Grand Forks News.
1t seems that, in the interval of quiet
which his occupation allows, Deputy
Marshall Hannah sometimes practices
law. His fellow-marshals tell OF an ex-
perience of his while defending a Grim
inal before Walsh county justice.
Mr.. Hannah had studied the case
carefully and went, with cutter load
ed with law books. prepared to show
the court thing or two. The case had
not progressed far when a legal point
came up, and Mr.. Hannah undertook
to read little law to the court.
What book is that?" inquired his
Honor.
"The code" replied Mr. Hannah.
"What code?"
"The code adopted at the session of
1895, your Honor"
Now, look here. young man." said
the court, as he opened weather-beat
en- volume of Territorial laws. 1--WE
tried cases by this book for the last
eighteen years, and I'm goin' to keeI
right on a-doin' it, and there don't nc
new tangled laws go in this court. Dc

up a $1,000 judgment in the office of
Prothonotary Pryor against the Lack
awanna Wheel company. An execu-

acity of turning out thirty high grade

men and has been in existence about a
year. John A. Mears is president, Jer-
ry Kistler, vice president; George b.
Carson. treasurer. and f. M. Vernoy,
secretary.
The company has been doing a nice
business 1t Is claimed and will, 1t is
said. be able to overcome the present
difficulty. The probabilities are that
the business will be continued under q
reorganized company.
The recent slump in the prices OF
high grade wheels has had nothing to
do with the company's trouble, the
officials say.
