ELOPERS WIN A MERRY RACE.
Pursued by Angry Papa, but Escape
Through Assistance of Train.

through Assistance OF Train.
There was a merry race on the road
from Elizabeth, n. j., to Newark be-
tween Cupid, who was in the lead at the
start, and an angry papa, who was a
close second for three-quarters of the dis
lance. Papa was showing a great burst
of speed for awhile, and the odds, II
there had been any, would have been III
his favor, but Cupid and the clipping cou-
pie whom that individual was guiding,
finally won out through the opportune in
tervention of train. The morning train
from New York brought the pair to Eliz'
abeth and they at once took cab and
started for Newark. On later train the
angry father appeared, and securing an
other cab, told the driver he would give
him 500 if he caught the clippers, and
$50 if he failed. A hot chase followed
and for time the father gained steadily,
but just after the cab containing the
couple crossed a railroad track train
came along and remained in the way long
enough to allow it to get sufficient head
way to escape. The father of the girl,
who gave his name as r. Gardiner of
Olcott, n. Y, said he would find his
daughter if it took all the police in New
Jersey,

Bradstreets report on grain is as fol-
lows: Wheat, including flour, shipments
for the week aggregate 5,1OO,7G3 bushels,
against 4,537,022 in the corresponding
week of 1900. From July l to date this
season wheat exports are 176,9l6,23S
bushels, against 16G, O35, COP last season.
Corn exports for the week aggregate
2,371,S92 bushels, against 3,411,015 in
this week a year ago. From July l to
date this season corn exports are 49,
0l5,43G bushels, against 173 ,203,075 last
season. The crop situation at present is
quite encouraging. Warm, sunny wealth
er is helping corn and cotton, and wheat
maintains a generally good condition, not
withstanding reports of damage by in
sects in the Southwest. Cotton crop ad-
vices are fairly good, and an increase in
acreage is still foreshadowed, despite
much replanting having been necessary
in Alabama, Georgia and in Tennessee,

pose remarked"
