on Sixth street near Tatnall, and told
Mr.. Rossell that he would prefer marry

| but as he saw no hope of getting mar
ried. not having sufficient money, was
willing to be taken care of wherever
the company saw fit.
Mrs. Rothwell supplemented what
Butler had said by telling Mr.. Rossell
that they had desired for some time
to get married and would do SO al
once il Butler had the license. She
acquiesced in Buffers remark that sht

1 Butler told Mr.. Rossell that he hat
been living at the residence of Jennie

dashed as if to get away from some.
thing it thought would do it harm.
Morris stuck to his post, notwithstand'
| ing the fact that the maddened anima
| was fast approaching the wharf, and
he was getting it under control wher
one of the lines broke.
This made matters worse and the
horse, finding that it was compare
lively free, increased Its speed. JUS
before it Preached the wharf It ran int
telegraph pole with its head, break
ing the pole completely off at thu
ground

back and burst its heart, but its necl
was not broken.
