UNUSUAL LOVE ROMANCE.
Married the Man Against Whom She Had
Won q Breach Of Promise Suit.


WOOSTER, O., November Ga romance
quite out of the common run has been
closed in the village OF West Lebanon,
Wayne county. for a woman who nearly
fifty years ago secured a judgment for
breach Of promise to marry has now we'd
ded the man against whom the judgment
was rendered. The records Of the Court
OF Common Pleas show that forty nine
years ago Miss Elizabeth Buckwalter was
awarded Judgment for breach Of promise
to marry in the sum Of $50 against Dan
iel Beals. The journal Of the ourt also
shows that the money was paid in shining
gold.
It seems that the parents Of the groom
woald not give their consent because Of
religious differences. his parents being
Methodists. hers Universslists. Miss
Buckwalter never married. Mr.. Beals.
after several years, became the husband
OF lady with whom he lived happily for
years. Children and grandchil lren came
Of the union. Mr. Beals, who resides at
Orrville, was very successful in business,
but met with reverses. and with the death
of his wife. he was lefl poor man.
Miss Buck walter was thrifty, and with
the money received on the breach ofprOm-
ise Judgment amassed a fortune, and is
the owner Of one of the finest farms in
the county, and cash besides. Several
years ago the country residence Of Miss
Buckwalter was entered by three masked
men. who beat her terribly in an effort
10 force her to tell where her valuables
were secreted. Three prominent resi-
dents of the neighborhood !, ere indicted
for the crime. It was said that Miss
Buck walter was positive that she had
recognized their voices.
The trial was a sensational one, and
ended in the aequittal of the accused.
The three men each began = suit for
S5.000 damages against Miss Bnckwalter
for false arrest. At the time Of the bur-
glary Mr.. Beals visited his old love, ex-
pressed his sympathy. offered bis assist
ance, and, as a matter Of fact. it was
through his efforts that she won the first
OF the three damage suits, although the
plaintiff was awarded a judgment Of one
dollar and costs. Through his efforts in
her behalf the old love OF forty-nine years
ago was rekindled. reconciliation was
effected, and their marriage followed.

New YORK. Nov. 9.-Theodore Roose-
yelt. the Republican nominee. accord
ing to indications, probably carried the
stat, by plurality over Augustus Van
Wyck Of about 10000. The total Re
publican vote, when received, viii
probably show a falling OFF, as CON-
pared with that for Governor Black in
1895, Of about Il per cent. In the mu-
nIcipality of New York the o,d-time
Democratic majority was approximated,
Van Wyck's vote beng about $4,000
greater than that of the Republican
candidate. This latter result was
helped in some measure by the result
IN the borough of Brooklyn (kings
county,. which. in 1895, gave Black.
Republican. plurality of 23,6S2, but
tins election gave Democratic plurality
Of about l6, $50.
Brooklyn is the home OF Judge Van
Wyck, but this fact does not wholly ex-
plain the practical reversal of plurili-
ties. which, Il is possible. is attributable
10 the lukewarmness of the friends of
Jacob Worth. who was deposed from
the chairmauship OF the county COM
mlttee as a consequence Of his oppOsi-
ton to the plans of Senator Platt ii the
mayoralty contest last year.
The returns from many coun ties mp
the state are incomplete, and in some
cases are missing altogether. The indi-
ca ions. being computations upon the
hgures at Land, point TO a Republican
plurality III the unt.es above the Har-
lem OF about 100000. to offset which
the democrats Can produce only the
SO,UOO plurality OF Greater New York.
The soldier vote will not be counted
until Dec. /, but It Is not likely that the
ballots from the camps will materially
alter the result. There woald seem 10
be the greater probability that the ma
lority Tor Roosevelt will be increased.
The hgures on congressman are not
accessible az this hour. but there are
indications that the Democrats have
made some gains in New York city dis
trlcts- The majority of Congressman
Qnigg, IL the Fourteenth district, has
been reduced by William Astur Chan
Ter, but he is probably returned. Con-
gresham Sulzer, Democrat, whose dis
trlct renominated him upon a free silver
platform. is undoubtedly reelected.
There appears to be loss Of four Re-
publican congressman in the Brooklyn
districts, the Second. Fourth, Fifth
and Sixth; ana Congressman Cuigg.
who had majority OF about 5000 at
the election last year, has been de-
feaied by William Astor Chanler. In
the Albany d strict, the Twentieth.
flynn, DEM, has been elected to sue
oeed Southwick. Rep.
There are, seemingly. Democratic
gains in the Eighth and thirteenth dis,

THE Republicans of the county are
to be congratulated upon the splendid
vote east at yesterdays election for the
State and county tickets. When it is
remembered that the State ticket was
openly antagonized 10y journals claim
ing TO be Republican, and secretly
worked against by professed members
of the party organization, the result is
all the more gratifying. The great ma
jority of the Republican voters Of Som
erset county are loyal TO their party or
ganization and have no sympathy with
those who attempt to weaken or destroy
its influence.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Nov. 9.-The
vote, judging from returns now in, is
from 10 tn 20 p r cent lighter for both
parties than in 1896 The whole Demo-
cratic ticket is elected. The light vote
is due to the feeble resistance Offered.
The Republicans and Popu,ists will not

the Legislature, if that many. The leg
lature elected will choose a successor

THE loss of the resurrecied Spanish
cruiser Infanta Maria Teresa near the
first landfall of Columbus, says the
Philadelphia Inquirer, will be keen
disappointment to every American cit
IL n. To be sure, we have acquired
Porto Rico and the Philippines by the
result of the war, but they are nailed
fast to the map, while the Maria Teresa
was what might be called floating evil
dence of our prowess. II could have
sailed from port to port recalling 10 ev-
cry mind the mad dash OF Cervers and
the work Of the American gunner-if
it had not gone TO the bottom off the
Bahamas. The disaster will affect the
plans of one man very seriously. Lieu
tenant Hobson is hard at work in
Washington to secure the money need
ed to raise Others of the Spanish feet
that were sunk eff Santiago. He has
been pointing with deserved pride 10
his success in resscuing the Maria Te-
resa, thus giving a valuable addition to
our navy. The sinking of that vessel,
however, viii be used as a strong argu-
ment against any appropriation for the
work that Hobson plans. People will
say, and justly too, that what has hap
pened to the Maria Teresa will in all
probability happen to any other Span
ish ship that We may try to save.
After all, the fate of the Maria Teresa
is not to be deplored any too greatly.
The American navy should be Ameri-
ean-built, and every vessel in ii should
BE- for service and not for show The
Spanish vessels, if saved, would, TO
greater or less extent, be floating relics
or movable curiosity shops. So far a.
that goes, the disappointment to Amer
icsns viii be great, but we think that
all good patriots would rather have Eve
staunch American built war vessels
added TO our navy than the five ships
that Admiral Cervera lost in his at
tempt to get out of Schley's battle.
