PENNSBORO, w. Va, June "a
happy ending to a sensational state OF
affairs following a secret marriage has
just been brought about by Judge G.
w. Farr.
Z. N. Pew, a young Upshur county
farmer, and Miss Sallie Johnson, a
school teacher and the belle of Toll
Gate, were secretly married at Buck
hannon just as the last new year was
ushered in, the chimes which welcomed
in the year 1900 being at the same time
their wedding bells.
The bride returned to her school. the
groom to his farm, and their marriage
was kept the strictest kind of a secret.
But recently they decided to make
the matter public and go to house
keeping. Mr.. Pew furnished a home and
when all was ready went to Toll Gate
for his bride.
But that is where his troubles be-
gan.
When her father found out what had
occurred he fairly fumed with rage,
locked his weeping daughter in her
room and drove the brideIess bride
groom from the premises.
For three days the siege continued,
and there was no prospect of either re-
lief or surrender.
Pew tried to have the old man ar
rested, but there was no charge on
which he could be held. At last some
one thought of a habeas corpus, and
Pew appealing to Judge Farr, was
granted a writ of habeas corpus, and
securing hts wife, left at once for their
new home.

Doings of the boxers.

NEW YORK, June 9.-The first re-
port of doings of the boxers was re-
celved by the Presbyterian Board to.
day from Rev. Horace w. Moulding.
He quotes a letter to United States
Minister Conger by DR.. Arthur S.
Smith, as follows:
There were alarms of an attack on
the village of Ho CHA Tun by boxers
from Ching Ping. We let the district
magistrates know of the matter. Two
hundred boxers divided into squads,
one party taking III chapel and school
house, the doors of which they broke in,
and proceeded to loot the place, carry
ing off everything. Directly in front
of the chapel a commodious house
owned by the mission was also looted
and wrecked. One party of the pillag-
ers made for the house of the helper,
which they pillaged. The family es-
capped over the wall, the young daugh-
ter of the helper, a pupil in our girls
school, having a narrow escape. She
has unbound feet, and when her big
feet were seen the bandits gave chase
but a neighbor mercifully assured them
the child was hers and thus saved her.

CANAL DOVER, o., June 9.-An
autopsy held over the remains of Jas.
McNeely, a thirteen-year-old lad. of
Avondale, hear the western boundary
OF the county, revealed an ailment
which, so far az the doctors who as
sisted know, has not a parallel.
The McNeely boy grew and played as
other children until he reached the
age of eighteen months, when his head
began to grow out of all proportion to
his body.
At the child's death his head meas
ured thirty and one-half inches in cir
conference. The head had become so
large that it weighed almost as much
as the little fellows body, and it was
out of the question for him to support
its great weight, so for many years he
has lived in bed. Different physicians
were consulted, but all were puzzled.
When the skull was opened at the
autopsy the physicians were surprised
to find that it enclosed FIVE and one
half quarts of fluid as clear as crystal.
The brain, instead of being solid, was
hollow, and in the interior was this
fluid.
In color the brain was almost black.
instead of being the normal gray.
The skull vas a mere shell of an aver
age thickness of scarcely a sixteenth
of an inch.
Young McNeely was unusually bright
and could read and write. In fact, he
was farther advanced in this respect
than most boys of his age.
The case is regarded as a most singu-
lar one and has attracted widespread
attention.

RUSSIA N JAPAN.
Friction Between These Countries
The Greatest Cause of Danger.

Friction Between These Countries
The Greatest Cause of Danger.
PARIS, June 9.-The grave situation
in China monopolizes attention. Paris
politicians admit it's seriousness and
fear international complications.
The greatest element of danger is
the duel for supremacy between Rus
STA and England and Russia and Japan.
The sympathies of France are with
Russia. 1t is not thought England is
likely, occupied with South Africa, to
take any step, but she Is firmly believ-
ed to be behind Japan, and her support
may encourage the latter to hostilitles
with Russia, for which the Japanese
are aching. The action of the United
States is a most important factor. Her
friendly relations with both Russia and
England favor the impression that she
will steer an independent course; but
will, if compelled by events, join Japan
and England. AT the foreign Office no
attempt is made to conceal anxiety.
A representative of the foreign office
says the one thing to be feared is fric-
ton between Japan and Russia, but
Japan is surely too wise to pit itself
against the Russian empire. Japan is
very strong on the sea, but on land it
is different.

an old ship, the Monocacy is admirably
adapted to this kind of service, draw
ing only nine feet of water and carry
ing a very good secondary battery.
Her personnel is twelve officers and
LAG men. The Castine and Yorktown
also are at Shanghai, and can be drawn
upon, according to Admiral Remey's
dispatch, by Admiral Kempff If he
wants more men. These vessels are
of 1000 and 100 tons displacement re-
spectively, with batteries about the
same as the Nashville. The Castine's
personnel is eleven officers and 142
men; the Yorktown's fourteen officers
and 181 men.
Minister Conger's daily report was
less encouraging than usual. He said
the situation was unimproved; that the
burning of railroad plants continues
and that inertness of the Chinese
makes it necessary to employ foreign
troops to protect the railways.
The State Department feels that the
despatch of naval vessels and the land
ing of naval forces is all that should
be done by the United States at this
moment. The department while will
ing to work parallel with the other
powers, insists on retaining independ-
ence of action.

more rabid element of the general
public. If not, then he would act as. in
in his judgment seemed proper for the
preservation of the law. He advised,
among other things. that the Transit
company augment the running of its
cars at night, and, if this experiment
resulted in disorder and its attendant
results, he would unhesitatingly call
out the State militia for its uppres
sion.
The Transit company tonight ran
cars on three more of its divisions. the
Laclede avenue, Market street and
Olive street. The Lindell division,
which resumed night service two days
ago, was also in operation tonight.
The police officers were for the most
part withdrawn from guard duty during

the thoroughfares through which the
four divisions run. Two regiments of

sympathy for the struggling republics.
AT l o'clock the envoy and his
brother, Phillip Louter Vessels, were
escorted in carriages to the city hall,

a cheering crowd. Mayor Moores. de-
livered the keys of the city in a warm

of the people of this country toward
the republics of South Africa.
After the reception a mass meeting
which crowded Creighton theatre was
addressed by the envoy and other
prominent speakers.
AS Mr.. Vessels was introduced. with
one accord, the great audience roSe to
its feet and let out a mighty yell Of
applause. lasting for several minutes
before the big, b~lack-bearded man
could be heard.
Il Will address you and tell you," he
began, why we came to America in
behalf of our struggling countrymen.
We came TO you to implore your help
as Americans-to help in the fight
against. the nation that tried TO nip in
tne bud the tree of liberty. We come
to tell you the truth about ourselves.
you do not hear the truth about us.
Englanu has all of the cables. and
thus holds the ear of the world"
Mr.. Vessels then spoke along the
same line of previous speeches and in
terviews, concluding as follows:
They say that We had prepared for
this war. Why, when jameson raided
across u frontier with six hundred
men on a morning after our holiday,
when our young men had been up all

Undue Share of China.s Good

NEW YORK, June "a despatch to
the World from London says the Chi
nese situation is exciting the pro-
foundest alarm.
1t is fully believed the boxer move
nent was i~nstigated that Russia may
reap advantages before the subjugation
of the Beers relieves Great Britain of
her trouble.
The British are looking a~nxiously to
President Mckinley to check Russia's
designs. The British army is locked
up in South Africa. The army in India
is II 900 below the establishment, and
$4,000 men will be necessary to restore
authority in Ashanti. Therefore Eng
land is in a sore plight. Lord Sails
bury is using every effort for an under
standing with Russia, but while Rus
STA still pushes ner advantage.
1t is recognized that If Russia gets a
foothold in China she will never with
draw. The British occupation of Egypt
has set a precedent.
While the British prime minister is
seeking an agreement with Russia he
is working for joint action with the
United States as the second string to
his bow.

An CAPTURE
Is the Estimate Placed Upon the TAX
ing of General Pillar, by General

Schyvan.
WASHINGTON, June General
Macarthur has cabled the following
report of the capture OF Gen. Pillar:
MANILA, June 8, 1900.
Native police capt@yed insurgent
General Pho del Pillar this morning, he
was found lurking in nejghborhood of
San Pedro Macati.
MAC ARTHUR"
Gen. Schwan's estimate of this news
is contained in this statement:
THE capture of Gen. Pho del Pillar
is most important. Pillar was one of
the most active of the rebel chieftians.
After the disruption of the insurgent
government and the dispersion OF
nearly all the organizations north Of
Manila, Pillar managed to concentrate
a force at st. Miguel de Mayumo, and
although unable to hold the place he
succeeded in Withdrawing to the
mountains and in eluding the several
columns sent to destroy him. That
his capture was effected by native po-
lice evidences afresh the loyalty of
these men.
