T MARRIEDJTO A 101, Prank Joseph, Bewitched by a Black Eyed Girl's Kogiiish Smile, Fi nally Elopes With Her. JIET IX A CONVENT NEAR.SALTILLO The JIaiden Stole Away, and Crossed the Border on Ilorsehack With Her American Lover. ME KXOT TIED OX THE TEXASFRONTIER A Fleasant Ontcome ef a Visit of a Company oT Stndfnts to a Jmuiery. She was a Mexican, he a native of "Ten nessee. The bewitching beaut y of the girl and the modest y of the young man attracted the attention of people to the couple at the Union depot last evening. It was the old story. They had recently been married and -were going to New York to spend their honeymoon. "When I wa a nun. Frank," the girl said, as the showed her pretty white teeth, "I didn't enjoy such perfect freedom as I do now." The remark was overheard and to the ex cited brain of a reporter it at once conjured up a istory of the romantic t ype. A married null is.indeed, a rarity, but it is not surpris jngnt all that a man should fall in love with a beautiful woman. She was pretty and 2etite. Her skin was swarthy, the eyes and hair dark, the features clear cut and regular. er Cut Out for a Cloiiter. She was a perfect specimen of Spanish won'anhood with a roguish smile that the cloister could not chain. She never should Jmve been dedicated to a religions life, in the firt place, and here is where the mis lake was made. It was no fault of hers that eke followed a natural instinet, and jumped the high malls with her llomeo. The story of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Frauk Joseph-is quite tomanticand cat of the ordinary. A young doctor in DPittsburg, who was at the station to meet them, and a great friend of the groom, fur nished the facts. 'Joseph and I," he said, "met at college and during the summer vacation we went "With a party into Mexico to collect the iauna of the country and geological spe ci 2acns. This was about five j cars ago. On the load between Monterey and the little town of Saltillo is located an ancient convent, and it was there Joseph met his wife. It teems in Mexico that girls are not given their choice about accepting the veil, but alio parents select one from the family to follow a religious life. There is no other alternative and she is expected to obey. A Rule Tliat Prevents Romance. "The result is that in many Mexican eon rcnts you find plenty of young women who are not actuated by a deep sense of duty. They arc there because they can't help themseles, or because they don't wish to disappoint their parents. With this ex planation it can easily be understood how the mm in question threw aside vows and con scientious scruples and followed the teach iuss of her heart, and I will say head also. "Well, one hot afternoon as we were tramping along the dusty road beyond Mon terey, complaining about the heat nnd wishing we had something to wet our parched throats, the convent loomed up in the distance. We didn't know what 5t was at first, and supposed it was a way side inn. With a warwhoop we made a run for the old stone building, but found the gatcjlockcd. We made considerable racket, when one of the nuns came out. We told her we were thirstv and hungry,and asked if we could rest aw hile. She invited us in and we sat on the gras inside of the stone wall. The lady was kind hearted, and she directed the girls to bring us food and drink, which they did lreelr. I noticed most of the" nuns weie joung and pretty. They appeared to be glad 10 see a lot of young fellows, and enjoyed it as much as we did. They smiled roguishlv as well as sweetly, jiud after the awe of the place had worn off tlie boys took great pleasure in flirting with them. The Mother Superior scowled, Irat it was no good. The girls didn't see men very often, and thev were determined to enjoy the sight while it lasted 1 suppose we remained tliere an hour or more when we returned to Monterey well pleased with the afternoon's visit Conrting One of the SNters. "As long as we sayed in Monterey .after that 1 would frequently miss Joseph. He would suddenlv disap pear for a time, and then turn tip. Xone of us dreamed he was court ing one of the Sister, but this was what he was doing. He was in the habit of meeting the girl outside of the wall, and the romantic courtship s ton ripened into love. The 5av we were going to leave he confided the secret to me and wanted me to help Hui steal the nun out and get her to the border. It was a risky piece of business at that time as there had been some trouble along the frontier, and the country was full of Mexican soldiers. I saw looming up be fore me a Mexican prison, and " I liail no desire to spend any time in a dungeon I knew very well if we attempted it, we would be ar rested before we got out of the country. Joseph was erv disconsolate over the pros pect, but he slid he was determined to take the girl with hirn to the United States and marry her. I thought it a plav ful fancy, and did all I could to dissuade him. I argued that she w:'.s a Mexican and he a Yankee. The chances are the love for each other would soon die out, and their lives would then be miserable. It was wrong to steal the nun from the content and take her into a strange land. Above all, the danger of being caught -was too great, and if such a hitch occurred they might net-er be married This line of argument had its eflect. and in a very un liappy frame mind he returned in the JCorth and went back to his college studies. Married to the Mexican Nun. "I had lorgotton all about the affair, when, a short time ago, 1 received a telegram from Joseph's Jtfher, in Tennessee, asking me if I had heaid that Frank had married a Mex ican nun. The old man w as worried about it, and he fcaied the consequences. It turns out that the ouug man finished his educa tion and tin n went back to Montercv He still loved Ynez, the pretty girl in the con vent. I'rank hired a horse, and the girl made a break for liberty. Thev started to ride across the country to the lioi dcr, but fortun.it cly the trip was without incident. Once on American soil they were luirried bva backwoods preacher, thebnde still as earing the convent garment:- She then changed her clothes for a natty street costume, aud with great j;lee"they went back to Tennessee. His father was greatly pleased with the daughter-in-law and everybody was happy. He told me last evening tnat he had notified the girl's parents of what he had done. No reply had been reeehed from them, and he sujiposed thev aie very angry. He thinks, however, that time will heal the breach and all w ill be forgiven. It is not often that men have such romantic exper iences in getting married." Called Don for Neglect. John Hamilton, of Crawford street, was arrested yesterday on a charge of neglect ing and abandoning his two children aged 6 and 4 years. The information was made bv Superintendent Dean, of the Anti Cruelty Society, before Alderman Warner. Hamilton cave b-il for a hearing Tuesday. TIED WITH A STRAP. The Wife of a West Liberty Contractor Found in a Peculiar Position Charges of Cruelty Against the Husband A Sad Story of Neglect Superintendent Dean, of he Anti-Cruelty Society, yesterday investigated a complaint against Daniel Kauff, a contractor, of West liberty, for abusing his wife and two chil dren. Superintendent Dean says that when he visited the house, which is just beyond the Bell Tavern, be found Kauff and his family living in four rooms that were unclean and not fit to be used for a home. Mrs. Kauff is a paralytic, and was lying on a bed sick, liaving "given birth to a child three weeks ago. Kauff's two children are a girl and a boy. aged 15 years and- 21 years, respec tively, and it is said are kept in extreme povcrtv bv their father. HauiT, it is stated, refused to give his wife the necessary medical attention, and would not allow neighbors to see the inside of his house. On last Friday morning an unusual noise emanated from the place, and on investigation by the neighbors they found Mrs. Kauff sitting on a chair with a hitching strap wrapped around her neck aud one end of it tied to the ceiling. As the woman is paralvzed and could not have placed herself in that position, the neigh bors, it is said, accused Kauff of placing her there. A minister named Snow, of Boggs avenue, Mt. Washington, forced his way into the house and afterward made complaint to the Anti-Cruelty Society. Superintendent Dean savs he also learned that Kauff's son was slightly demented, and that Kauff forced him to work without pay. After making the investigation Superin tendent Dean went before Aldermau King, of the Southside, and made three informa tions against Kauff, charging him with cruelty and neglect. A warrant has been issued for Kauff's arrest DRANK WOOD ALCOHOL. If ewton Springer Dies From the Effects of Poison Thought lie Was Drinking Gin Tho Terrible Aliitako Not Discovered Until It Was Too tate. Newton Springer, a carpenter, swallowed poison in mistake for gin and died yester day in great agony. Springer was 42 years of age. He was employed on the steamer Alex. Swift, now being overhauled at the Brownsville docks. Friday evening after work one of the men brought a bottle of gin, which all were invited to participate of. It went the rounds of all the men ex cept Springer, who was busy about some thing at the time, and told them to leave the bottle and he would take some later. It was put down among several other bottles, and the men went away. After a short while Springer finished his w ork and thought of the gin. Going to the place where the bottle liad been left he picked up one he thought contained the gin and took a lone drink. After swallowinc a considerable quantity of the liquid he was horrified to find he had made a mistake and taken wood alcohol. His companions were summoned, and soon had Dr. O'Brien on the scene. He worked with the suffering man all night, but to no avail. The drink was a fatal one, and early jesterday morning Springer died suffering terribly. Coroner McDowell was notified of the case and investigated it After hearing the testimony the jury returned a verdict of death from taking poison by mistake. Springer lived at Brownsville, and the body was sent to his late home. The funeral will take place to-day. JOSEPH D. LONG DEAD. He Passes Away Altera Six Days' Illness, Succumbing to an Attack of Drlght's Disease He Was a Member of -tho Vul can Iron Company. Joseph D.

Mr. Long was formerly connected with the Vulcan Iron Works, Chartiers, and when the business of that firm was wound up he embarked in the iron and steel brokerage business at 91 Fifth avenue, under the firm name of Joseph D.

A citizen walked into the lobby of the Duquesne Theater yesterday afternoon to secure seats for the evening's performance. He looked at the list of prices over the box office window, and then glanced in at Char ley Berg, who was waiting to sell him the house, if need be. "Say, young man, you're selling pretty cheap "here, eh?" "xes, sir; summer prices." "Summer prices, eh ? Well, give me the lower floor; here's the money,' throwing down half a dollar. Berg raked in the 50 cents and handed out a ticket. "This ticket calls for one seat, and I want the entire floor See here," pointing to the list of prices, "Entire lower floor, 50 cents;' balcony, 25 cents," and lower boxes, Si.' "It you don't want to sell our entire low er floor and your balconv and" boxes lor these priceb vou oughn't tojsay so," and the seem ingly disconcerted citizen walked off with his ticket and a smile. COST OF LIVING LOWERED. The Fair Crop Expected to Reduce the Price of Canned Goods. "The cost of living is cheaper now than it was this time last year," said Chief Clerk Crosby at the Anderson yesterday, "but it is not as low as it was several years ago. The early crop of vegetables was injuied by the late frosts, but the summer output is fair. Potatoes are about the dearest vegetable that we have to buy. The price of meats still keeps up. You can buy cheap stuff, but good meat comes high. For that matter the meat rates vary little all the year aronnd." A'slight reduction in the price of canned goods is expected this fall, but as a big trust controls the trade they will probably reap the profits of the abundant crop. On an average it costs about 75 cents per day more to keep a guest in a first-class bote than it did two j ears ago. ALL IS NOW QUIET At the Headquarters or, the Straightont Republican Cohorts. A The straightont Ecpublicans were very quiet yesterday, but they said they were working just the same. People flitted to and from Judge Fettermau's office during the day, but Mr. Fettermau said there was nothing fresh. A visit at 2:30 p. M. or thereabouts dis covered a nice lot of stationery, eta, piled up on the table, but na'ry a6oulinsight except a lady in an adjoining apartment She offered no explanation of the quietude, and a sign on the door indicated that the occupant was a dressmaker. She evidently wasn't interested in politics to any great extent Db. B. M. Hanka. Eye, ear, nose and throat diseases exclusively. Office, 720 Penn street Pittshn'j, Pa. " ssu A BOYCOTT WORN OUT. Local Delegates to the Green Bottle Blowers' ConTention Tell WHY SOME THINGS WERE DONE. Sliarpsunrg's Mill Trouble Still Bemains Unsettled. THE TRADES COUNCIL'S LATEST MOTE D. O. Hayes, Tim Hovey, Albert Sahner, Jeremiah Bunting, John J. Donnery, Sam uel Griffith, William Itieff, John Eaesler and Henry Winters, the local delegates to the Green Bottle Blowers' Convention, came home from St Louis yesterday morn ing. They report one of the largest, most important and most harmonious sessions of that body ever held. In regard to the criticisms heaped upon the delegates for accepting the courtesies of the Annheuser - Busch Brewing Company while the firm's beer was under a boycott, the delegates say that it is considered that the boycott has worn off This firm, it is claimed, gives employment to a large portion of the green glass trade, because they use millions of bottles annu ally. Wages Soon to Be Arranged. There were fevr changes in the scale, and it is expected that the wages for the coming year will be amicably settled at a conference to be held sometime within the next ten days it may be this week as it is thought the Executive Committee will meet in this city this week. By withdrawing from the Knights of Labor, the green bottle blowers have legis lated their organization into a position oc cupied by them many years ago. They were originally known as the Glassblowers' Union of North America, which was changed to the Grand League. In 1874 this was changed to the Improved League. Then in 18S6 the division came and the East and West took separate names, but in the same year both affiliated with the Knights of Labor as two distinct organizations. Three years later both assemblies united and remained as a single trades assembly until a tew days ago. They will now be known as the Improved League of Glass blowers of America, or at least until they are fully settled. Speaking of the future of the organization Mr. Hayes, one of the dele gates who returned yesterday, Eaid: Three Courses Now to Pursue. "There are three courses for us to pursue to remain as an independent organization or to amalgamate either with the Flints or the American Federation of Labor. If we join the Flints we become an integral part of the American Federation. The Flints have over 7,000 members and 100,000. While we are comfortably fixed financially, it remains for the Auditing Committee to sav how much of funds we have. With tho. Federation we would not surrender our in dependence as was the case in the Knights. There would not be constant friction on ac count of a want of control in the manage ment of our affairs." The delegates-are loud in their praise of the manner in which they were treated in St. Louis. Tim Hovey, one of the Pitts burg delegates, was honored with a place on the Executive Committee. CL0SEB UNION WANTED. A New Movement Set on -Foot by tho Cen tral Trades Council. At the meeting of the Central Trades Council last night a committee was ap pointed for the purpose of calling on the representatives of the various labor unions in tha county not now repre sented in the Council, with a view to establishing closer relations between them. It was stated that it was a well known fict that of late there has been a wide difference of views and methods of the labor unions. Such antagonisms, it was admitted, was not conducive to the best results. From reports received it was believer that the movement will be a success, and that this fall and winter will see a revival of interest and a thorough affiliation of the labor organizations of this i icinity. Special efforts will be made to build up the interest in the work of the Trades' Council. Secretary McXamee has a num ber of "plans to suggest as soon as the proper time comes for them, and if they are adopted, there will be a number of open meetings held during the winter at which people of national repute will speak on the labor issues. THE FIGHT GROWING WARMER. A Report That Men Are to Be Imported to Defeat tbo Strikers. The bricklayers' strike has reached the point where each side seems to feel that it is necessary to exert its utmost power to avoid defeat The contest is a hot one, and all kinds of arguments are called into play to gain a point. The Exchange members deny that all the men they brought from Philadelphia have been sent back, and pro duce as proof an agreement signed by 13 men who have come here and are now at work. A story was started yesterday to the effect that the "Exchange would import men from Europe. This they claim is unnecessary, as they can get all the men they want, and if they cannot, colored men will be brought from the South. Officials of the union claim to have proof that men have been seen in New York on their way to Europe for that purpose. Pittsburg Gets a Southern Contract The North Carolina Steel and Iron Com pany, of Grcensborough, IT. C, has awarded a contract to D. E.

There were no new developments at Sharpsburg yestereay, and it is not now certain that the mills of Moorhead Bros. & Co. will be started to-morrow. It only be came known last night that President Weihe and Vice President Shechan had a conference with Mr. Moorhead on Friday. This was quite a lengthy conference, but nothing definite was reached. It is quite likely that another will be held to-morrow. Word was received from Youngstown last night that the puddlers of the Sixth dis trict employed at Cartwright, McCurdy & Co.'s, had been paid and that the men re fused to pay their helpers the one-third and 5 per cent as required by the new scale. Advices from ex-Vice President James Nutt indicate an early settlement of the dispute, however. POMPEII AGAIN DESTROYED. A Big Crowd Witnesses the Spectacle in Becreatlon Park A Festival Day In tho Ancient City Illustrated Vesuvius' Eruption, Followed by Fireworks. A fine evening, and every attending cir enmstance auspicious, favored the in augural performance here of the "Last Days of Pompeii," a spectacle that has been pre sented in every country, and everywhere received with much interest and applause. For weeks past an army of mechanics has been employed at Recreation Park, Alle gheny, in -fitting up the necessary structures incidental to the display. The enterprise is a costly and hazardous one, and it reflects credit on the few gentle men who were instrumental in bringing the entertainment here, that the performance last evening was an unqualified success. It is only necessary to mention that the performances proposed to be given hero will cost S3O,O00, and that nearly 400 people are engaged in the representation, to show what the undertakine amounts to. It. W. Barnheiscl, Sr., Percy F. Smith and George C. Jenks are responsible for the en terprise, and their pluck in producing this famous and attractive spectacle is bound to be appreciated. The scenery representing the city of Pom peii, destroyed by the long-slumbering vol cano of v Vesuvius in the year 79, A. D., is considered to be the best picture of the com panion town of the series. A miniature lake fringes the street, with its temples, palaces, baths, pantheon and coliseum, and in dark grandeur, above, the slum bering cone of Vesuvius looks down darkly on the doomed city and its people. The action of the play introduces a festival dav in the life of the inhabitants. Boys enjoy their holiday; civic dignitaries, sena tors, priests and priestesses, flower girls, citizens and guards pass to and fro, march in procession and finally assemble to witness the sports. These are very fine, and con-' sist of running races, bicycle acts by skilled artists, extraordinary acrobatic and contor tionist acts, boxing and a ballet The chariot races were not run last night owing to a delay in the arrival of the chariots, due to the half holiday. The sports over, the action of the piece continues, introducing gladiators, the war ship of the Golden Calf and the seizure of Christians who refuse to join in the sacri fice. The proceedings are interrupted by an earthquake and the sudden eruption of the mountain, which outpours its burning lava on the city, putting the inhabitants to flight The spectacle of the eruption and destruction was well conceived and executed. Immediately following was given a very fine fireworks display By Pain & Son, a part of the pro gramme that was liberally applauded. Leon J. Vincent was stage manager, and on him' devolved most of the work of setting the piece. About 3,000 people were present1 The next performance will be on Tuesday evening, weather permitting. BURNED THE BALLOON. The Ascension at Highland Park Prevented by an Accident An Army of Boys Get Their Berengo on One of the Men in At tendance. The balloon ascension intended for High land Park yesterday afternoon did not take place. Over 5,000 people were present to witness the ascension, but while the balloon was being filled with hot air it took fire, and was so badly damaged as to prevent its be ing used. The people commenced to ar rive at 1 o'clock and continued coming un til the grounds were crowded. The balloon was to have gone up between 2 and 5 o'clock but at 5 o'clock it was only partly filled with hot air, and the crowd became impa tient Bovs crowded about those who were en gaged in filling the balloon, and in some manner one of the stay ropes become loose. The great bag swayed to one side, and tho inside of it caught fire from the iurnace beneath. The fire was speedily extin guished, but the hot air had es caped and the balloon was too badly injured to be used. One of the colored men working with the balloon became enraged at the boys and commenced to chastise one of them. He was surrounded by at least 100, who began to pelt him with green apples they had obtained from a neighboring orchard. The man took to his heels and only escaped when he took refuge in a house at some dis tance. Mile. Decca and her lady assistant, who were to have made the ascension, were pres ent and ready to go up but for the accident. The balloon, it was stated, will be patched up and the ascension made some day next week. The police were on the ground. OBDEBED TO THE FBONT.

Lawyers Talking Politics to Break the Court's Monotony. HAPPENINGS OF INTEEESTINTIIECmES The body of John Geib is at the bottom of the Allegheny river, but cannot be found. Geib committed suicide Friday night, but it was not known he had done so until last evening. On the night mentioned George Hoffman and Mr. Marshall were walking along the river bank near the foot of Madison street, Allegheny. Suddenly they saw a man in his shirt sleeves leap into the water. Hur rying toward tfie spot they saw him strike boldly out through the water. He swam about 50 yards, paying no heed to their cries, but making direct for some barges anchored out in the river. The men watched him till he reached the barges arid then he disappeared under them, and has not been seen since. Searching the bank they found a hat and coat. These were carried to police headquarters, but there was nothing to be found by which to identify the owner. The police could find no clew to who the missing man was until last evening, when a small boy called at the headquarters and asked to see the garments. He was shown them and at once identified them as the property of John Geib, his stepfather. The boy s name is George Sindser and he is 16 years of age. He lived with his stepfather at No. 63 Avery street, Allegheny. Geib was employed at Leonard Wagner's cigar factory, on Ohio street, and was 40 years old. He was known to take liquor at times, but never to excess, and no cause is known for his seeking to end his life. The little boy had a sad tale to tell. About five months ago his grandfather, Hesper Beck, committed suicide by jump ing into the river just as his stepfather did Friday night. About the same time his mother died suddenly. At the home, on Avery street, George has a little baby brother and a sister 17 years of age. The body of the drowned man has not yet been, found, though it probably will be shortly. BBEAKING THE MONOTONY. Tho Stralght-Out Bepubllcan Question Argued in tho Court House. Dog day do not appear to be exercising their supposed baleful influence on society this year. The list of marital disturbances that receives attention in the Quarter Ses sions Court has grown less and less each Saturday since the close of the June term, and the class of cases heard lately has not been of sufficient interest to keep the lawyers quiet The monotony was varied on Satur day by W. D. Moore delivering a discourse on the merits of the "straight-out" Repub lican movement W. J. Brcnncn tried to call for the previous question, and in this he was ably seconded by the tipstaves, but Captain Breck encouraged Moore, and Judges Collier and Slagle, with the assist ance of District Attorney Burleigh, listened to such unimportant business as motions for continuance in murder trials and the odds and ends that are usually cleared off or re arranged on Saturdays. Those of the lawyers who have not yet had their summer outing are apt to be testy if some crusty curmudgeon of an attorney, who is so wedded to his profession as not to need relaxation, will not agree to put off business. AFTEB NEW CAPTIVES. First District Police Officials Break the World's Fishing Ilecord. Inspector McAleese, Sergeant Gray and Detectives Bendel, Fitzgerald and Robin son, of the First police district, have re turned from Erie.

Affidavits as to the exact number of the catch have not yet appeared. The whole party, Attorney Shannon in cluded, enjoyed the sport hugely, and came home with complexions like "shellbark" hickory trees and appetites, which, if they could be preserved, intact, would make ex cellent drawing attractions for the coming Exposition. Superintendent of Police Gamble Weir returned yesterday from Toronto, Canada, where he was one of the seven United States delegates to the International Con vention of Orangemen.

HE DIDN'T HAVE THE TIME. Showing That Not Everyone With a Chain Has a Watch. It happened on the Sixth street bridge yesteiday morning. The two individuals interested had been leaning over the rail looking down at the scaffolding now being erected round the central pier. One of them rejoiced in the possession of a some what ostentatious watchguard which would not have been out of place as a dog chain. The other evidently spent his spare cash in other ways principally at the nearest saloon. Approaching the man with the chain he observed: "Might I ask you what time it is?" "Cenainly, you might," replied he of the chain. The first speaker stepped back a yard or so and waited. The chain man, however, made no attempt at declaring the hour. To him again the other said: "What time might it be, sir?" "It might be midnight," came the cheer ful response, "but 'tisn't" "Look here, sir," yelled the querist, "can't you tell me the time when I ask you?" "Sometimes I can and sometimes I can't," replied the man with the chain. "Just now I can't as my ticker's with my uncle. See?" and he held out the big chain with a latch key attached to its business end. Then the pair started for Allegheny, and five minutes later they might have been noticed in a Federal street saloon "setting 'em up" in rapid succession. CUT IN THE BACCABAT STYLE.

SHARON STIRRED UP Over a Quarrel Between Two Well-Known Citizens One Hits the Other With an Inkstand An Elder Deposed From His Office. The good people of Sharon, in Moon township are again greatly torn up over a trouble, not only in the church, but in an Odd Fellows' lodge as well, and some of them begin to think that the spirit of con tention must have beon engendered by the unlocking of the oil and gas treasures of theiownshin. during the rjast two vears. It has brought them much lucre, bur some of them sigh for the serene days between 1817, when Rev. Andrew McDonald started the Presbyterian Church, and 1889. For 72 years they farmed their land, tended their heards, were marrying and giving in marriage and life, though uneventful, was happv. They were noted as a God-fearing people who lived simply and generally died at a ripe old age. Al most every one belonged to church and the late Rev. Samuel C. Jennings knew the outgoing'; and incommings of all the people of the settlement during his pastorage of half a century over this little Arcadia. The church still holds its sway and there are few men about Sharon who are not mem bers thereof or Odd Fellows. But of late troubles seem disposed to grow like weeds. Things went along smoothly until about three weeks ago, when a controversy sprang up in some way in Acme Lodge, I. O. O. F. Just what it was about outsiders do not seem to know, but, as the story runs, Messrs. D. A. Wiegle and Jacob Sefler have not been overly friendly for two years and they collided in the lodge. It is said that Mr. Sefler, a very good citizen, but said to be quick tempered, .carried away by his wrath, caught up a heavy glass ink3tand and hurled it with violeuce against Mr. Weigle's head, cutting an ugly gash thereon and making the claret flow freely. Friends interfered and the trouble seemed to have been settled, but subsequently the matter was reported to the church and Mr. Sefler being an elder it was deemed a duty to investigate him. A session was called and he was tried. As a result Mr. Sefler has been deposed from his office as an elder, the announcement being made last Sunday. Mr. Sefler appears to get enough sympa thy in the neighborhood to soothe him. He is regarded as an excellent man, but one who is liable to lose his equanimity tempo rarily when roused and trust to the time being more to the arm of flesh than to the sword of the spirit. The affair has cast a gloom over the church, as there are some outside scoffers who, as St. Peter predicted, should "come in the last days, walking after their own lusts," and who are inclined to make merry over tho mishap.

Fifth Ave. and Market St. JySO-uwjsa BOTH SOCIETIES TOOK. A HAHD. Antl-CrneItT People Intervene In a Cass Hnmane Men Dad Investigated. Mrs. Nelson, of Alpine avenue, Alle gheny, called at the Humane Society offices yesterday to see, if she could not recover aa adopted child aged 4 years which she says was taken from her by Superintendent Dean, of the Anti-Cruelty Society, on ac count of alleged abuse and ill-treatment. On June 0 last a complaint was made to tha Humane Society accusing Mrs. Nelson of abusing the child, which was her niece. The complaint also stated that she got drunk and neglected to care for the child. Agent Berryman investigated the case and says as far as he could learn from the near neighbors of 3Irs. Nelson the charge wa3 true. He says he found the woman to be poor and keeping a little candy shop. The child, he says, had plenty to eat and clothes to wear, but 3Irs. Nelson in reprimanding it sometimes appeared to be a little too severe. On account of the cir cumstances she was in, suit was not entered, but she wa3 given warning not to be cruel to the child. A few days ago itds said Superintendent Dean, of the Anti-Cruelty Society, took charge of the case, and entered suit against Sirs. Nelson before Alderman Warner. A hearing was held last Tuesday evening, and 31 rs. Nelson was lined $10 and costs, in all amounting to 52i This, the woman says, took every cent she had, and left her penni less. On Friday she says Superintendent Dean called at her house and took the child away. She thinks that Superintendent Dean has been too severe on her, and ap plied to the Humane Society to institute proceedings for the recovery of the child. Agent O'Brien, of the Hnmane Society, said they could not take hold of the case, and advised her to consult an attorney. rather Dickey "Wanted at St. Bridget's.
