 Here is thrilling episode in the TO-
 nance of a young Kentucky couple
 whose names are unknown. They were
 running away to Georgetown. O., to
 be married. When they arrived at
 Marysville, Ky, on the opposite side of the Ohio, the girls parents were in | close pursuit.
 The broad Ohio riter was full of huge cakes of floating ice But love
 can always find way. The young man 1 and his fair lady decided to cross the river at all hazards. They finally suc-
 ceeded in employing two boatmen, who
 agred to row them across in a small l skiff.
 A great crowd assembled on the l river bank and cheered the elopers as their boat pushed off from shore. After
 battling with the ice foes, every min
 ute fraught with danger, the frail boat
 finally reached the center of the stream. Here it lodged in tae huge
 blocks of ice, and was swept down the
 broad current of the Ohio, out Of sight | of the crowds of watching people on shore.
 All hope of their being saved was
 abandoned, but after being carried two
 miles down the river by the ice the
 eloping couple and the two boatmen
 were picked up by 8 river steamer and
 safely landed on the Ohio shore.

THE POWER OF LOVE
TENDER PASSION STILL MOVES HEARTS OF OLD AND YOUNG.
Love for Mother Transferred to Her Young Daughter-Travels 5000 Miles to Wed-Brave Death
 in Elopement.

Marie Burger was born in Germany, and lived there until she was IS years old. Then her mother told her to come to the United States, go direct to St. Paul. Minn., and marry John Lett ner. Marie was a dutiful girl, and did as she had been told. She had never seen John Leitner until he met her at the railway station at St. Paul. Two hours later they were married. And 1t was one of the prettiest romances the newspapers have chronicled for many a year.
 Twenty-Five years ago John Leitner was 20 years old, and he, too, lived Tn Germany. It was there that he fell in love with his brides mother, and they were betrothed. Two months be- fore the wedding day, however, they quarreled, and John Leitner came Io the United States. The girl married another man, and thus became Mrs. Burger.
 To Mr. and Mrs. Burger there came in due time a daughter, and 1t was this daughter, Marie Burger, who came to St Paul and married John Leitner. She is already in love with her husband, although he Is 45 years old, and she is only 20. The marriage was arranged by her mother
 Marie traveled across the Atlantic alone and was met st the station by her husband to be.
 Like her mother, for all the world, ? said Leitner, as the couple wended their way through the crowded sta ton.
 "I would have known her in thou- sand," Leitner declared to the deputy who made out his marriage license and listened to the story of the farmers romance.
 MT. Leitner and Miss Burger were married in St. Paul, and will make their home in Barnes county, N D.,

 There was an instant of silence that turned babel behind the speaker.
 "A liev' shouted Jarrat. "A lie! The Marquis de la Trouerie is deadv' Anne had risen, trembling, speechless, her eyes fixed and glittering.
 Aye" said Armand sternly, stretch ing his arm toward him. "He has been dead these five years. But he did not die when you supposed. That was but play necessary to deceive a dog one would not wish barking at his heels. He called himself a secretary, and you-you jackal-you thought to buy him, Frenchman, to betray his master, his king and these ,coloniesv'

 '"The marquis had mission, and ke found it to his purpose toto become himself. He found many thorns In his way. But he found one rose-one rose so pure and fragrant that he wished to gather it. He found a lady-a lxiy of Virginia, who loved him and be- heved in him. The marquis was liv- ing then. He found himself ill periS and he trusted her. And at last-hs thought she had betrayed him
 "Ah, my friend" cried Lafayette wistfully, "these long months seeing you, and have never told you knew you-never asked wherefore you hid yourself from all Was I not a friend, Charles?'

 A great lovely light had come to Anne's face and smiled from her color less lips-a light more lovely than the aurora over snows.
 'Is 1t true?" she faltered, looking at him in a sort of unbelieving wonder. "Is it true? And will he live again?''
 For answer he knelt down at her feet and put his lips to her hand. She felt tears upon it.
 When they looked up they were alone in the room From the yard came the rattle of bridle chains and the hustle of mounting. Lafayette Met them on the threshold.

 Soon the flow of water was stopped by the sediment in the tank flowing into the bullet hole, and 8 little son of MT. Wilte, who had seen the whole af- lair, ran for assistance.

col. HERBERT's SUCCESS.
His Law Firm and Another Awarded
.m Fec of 49,, 900,


The friends in Montgomery of Hon.
H. A. Herbert and his son-in-law Mr..
Ben Micou. will be much pleased with
the following news item from The
Washington Post:
Justice Gould yesterday signed an
order ratifying the auditors report in
the case of Admiral Dewey against the
Don Juan de Austria and other prize
property. A distribution of the prize
money is directed, the sum involved
amounting to ss2s.677.69.
Under the decision. the naval pen
sion fund gets one-half of $S2S,677.69,
less half the costs which will be APP
proXimately $50. 900. An attorneys fee of
! 0 per cent. is allowed by the court as
part of the costs. The remaining one
half is to be distributed among Ad
miral Dewey and the officers and men
of the fleet under his command at the
battle of Manila Bay. The case was
argued about Il month ago by Attorneys
Herbert & Micou and George A. King
for Admiral Dewey and the other libel
ants, and by Special Assistant Attor-
ney General Charles c. Binney of Phil
adelphia for the United States.
The contention which was disposed
of yesterday was as to whether the at
torney's fee, which amounted to $S2,-
S67. rs. and a travelling and printing ex-
pense account of $425.8S should be
charged against the entire fund or only
against that portion of 1t which has
been decreed to the captors of the prize
property. The opinion rendered by
Justice Gould deals exhaustively with
the statutes and court decisions bear
ing upon the various questions as to
the distribution of prize funds. No
exception was taken to the amount of
the fee allowed by the auditor. the sole
point being made by the Government
being as to what part of the fund must

for the place.
AS Governor Cunningham had plan
ned to leave Montgomery on a night
not have much time with him. 1t Is
understood that the Governor told Mr..
Allen that the appointment would not
be announced before Friday at the ear
Hest and suggested that he file his en-
dorseemnts with Private Secretary
Jackson.
The Governor will spend today at
Goshen. Pike County. about ten miles
from Troy where he will attend meet
ing of Confederate Veterans.
Many citizens visited the Executive
office yesterday in the interest of
Charles L. Matthews, whose appoint
ment as a member of the Board of Rev.
enue is being urged.
Quite number of letters endorsing
Mr.. Matthews were received by Pri-
yate Secretary Jackson.

There was renewed animation about
the Democratic Congressional Head
quarters today, when Chairman cow
herd arrived from his home IN Missou-
ri. where he had been since the Con-
vention. instead of New York, as had
been reported.
Mr.. Cowherd said ne was in commu-
nication with Chairman Taggart OF
the National Committee, and would
have an interview with him at an early
date If possible.
Chairman Cowherd is quite cheerful
over the party prospects in the West
and Middle West. He also stated that
the Democrats will win fifteen or six
teen seats in the next House. in addi-
ton to holding all they now have.
In Missouri, he said that 1t would
only be a matter of majorities and that
Parker would get the largest cast in
years.
I'm Missouri we are particularly
strong Just now. because there is no
dissension," said he. The regular or
ganization swept the State for Cook
for Secretary of State. The reform
party with Folk at the head. swept 1t
for him. Both elements are now hard
at work for the State ticket
Chairman Cowherd says that the
central west is HleHiy pledSeu Win
the selection of Thomas Taggart as
Chairman of the National Committee.
"All the candidates are Eastern men,"
he continued, land there was more or
less feeling in the Central West that
the party did not intend to make much
of a fight there. The selection, how
ever, has removed this feeling and
much work will now be done.
Several prominent Indiana leaders
with whom talked said that the Re
publicans by no means had the Hoosier
state Senator Fairbanks might be
strong, but not strong enough to walk
away with things.
These gentlemen were of the opinion
that the appointment of Taggart has
greatly strengthened the party In IN
diana. and has increased the chances
of carrying the state"
The Chairman says he has heard
nothing but praise for the Democrats

and all other factions are at worx Tor
