J., July 7.—A highly romantic and suconsful elopement a* Tuesday has greatly interested the people of this village. The story did not get out until late yesterday. The town vara Edward C. Taylor, a popular young business man of the village, and Miss Rebecca T. Hendrickson, the oldest daughter of Blnaihan Hendrickson, a w«U known fruit grower, and one ofiha wealthiest men In the community. Jtirt Rob*™ is 21 years old,» blonde, tall and graceful in figure, stylish in appearance, well educated, and an heiress. She was decidedly the belle of the region, and had a host of admirers. Her mothor being dead, she wai the mistrras of her father's houw as well as the pride-c.f bis heart. Her only sister U yet a school girl. It is said that Kins Rebecca has had at least half a dozen ofltors of marriage. She was sought after by tho most eligible young men of Monmouth county. Within six months she has rejected one young man who Is reputed to be worth 160,000, notwithstanding that her father and all her family connections insisted upon his acceptance, and even up to yesterday were hoping to induce her to change her mind. But her heart was already given to Mr. Taylor, and she was determined to marry him. Taylor Is a descendant of one of the oldest families in the county. His father was at one timo a very large land owner and considered a very rich man. But extravagant living reduced his fortune before his death, and it has since dwindled under poor management until now the estate is a mere bagatelle. But Edward is a young man of excellent moral character, of energy and ambition, and has art out to make a fortune for himself. Though but 23 years old, be is already in business on his own account and Is doing well. He is generally liked and is considered a leader in society circles. But though Miss Rebecca loved hbn devotedly and undisguisedlv her father refused to pormit him to visit the house. This opposition only Intensified the love of the young couple, who found no difficulty in meeting at the numerous social gatherings of the region. As they could not be married at the bride's home with the paternal Messing, they resolved to be married in tho best way they could away from ltoroe. Speculation on American Industries. EfM'ltpO.

Bebnk, Switzerland, July 7.—The beautiful town of Zug, nestled at the foot of the towering Zugerberg, on the shores of Lake Zugersoe, was visits I by a terriblo calamity Tuesday night, resulting in the lost of more than lOO lives. Without warning and almost simultaneously toveral large quaj s rocently built into the lake, and upon which had been oroctod tho Hotel Zurich, a handsome four itory structure, and an inn and some forty dwellings, silently sank with great rapidity into the lake. Not a vestige was left of thj prreat structure except such furniture and framework as floated from the general wreck. Tho horror of the scene was greatly heightened by tho oppressive silenco when tho waters closod over all Tho cries of tho few victims who wero awake were hushed in a moment, and those who witnessed the awful sight wore too dazed by the strange phenomenon to utter a sound.

I say, and now repeat, that until it can be shown that the person landing on our shores can be self sustaining for one yoar he ihould not be allowed to land. The man who Is not self sustaining is a pauper and this country has no uso for him. If he thrown a resident of this country out of employment by taking Us situation away from him and works for less wages, he makes a pauper or a dependent of tho American. Every man, to bo in accord with the genius of our institutions, should bo independent, and not dependent."The conditions which surrounded the immigrant of fifty, twenty-five or oven ten years ago were far different from thoso surrounding tho poor fellow who lands to-day, and among the men who cry out against immigration to-day are thousands who landed no longer than ten years ago. Improved machinery and new inventions have within the last-twenty-flve years mad. it possible for one man to do the work of three, and in many instances tho work of ten.

CnARLBSTON, S. C., July 7.— Serious trouble is feared on the banks of. the Savon, nob river near Augusta, Ga. The Rev. David and Elders S. G. Spencer and Joseph Murray, Mormon missionaries, have been preaching in that locality for some time. Thoy have converted about twenty-five families of the more ignorant white settlers, 'l'ba doctrine expounded is that all who do not adopt tho faith of Mormonism and go to Utah before 1893 will be destroyed by Are; Hint no marriages are in accordance with the I iws of God except those sanctioned by the Mormon church, and that no woman can attain to absolute perfectlou in the future state unless married in this life. Notioe to leave the locality has been served on the missionaries by tho more responsible citizens, but tiioy ► fve refused to comply. The missionaries-, /re backed by their converts, and doclaro' that they will resist any attempt of the regu'Ators to drive them from the country. The Mormons have been finally ordered to ledvD i within forty-eight hours. NO CAU8E FOR ALARM The Hotel Zurich was full of visitors and the Inn was crowded also, and many entire families wore in the private houses. The exact number lost cannot therefore be ascertained at this time. It was still dark when the accident occurred, and many undoubtedly were engulfed while they slept Among those known to have been lost Is M. Collin, president of the canton of Zug. It is not known "whether there were any Americans at the Hotel Zurich, but it is not believed there were. People are flocking in from neighboring cities to learn the fate of relatives and friends, but all stand helpless on the shore, wringing their hands A few bodies have come to tho surface, but the majority are held down by being pinned in the wreck. Men from the silk and cotton mills and from the tanneries have offered their services, and active steps are being taken to recover the bodies. Fully half tho new quays have vanished, and it is not probablo that they can ever be rebuilt, as there is no certainty that the foundations will be secure enough. People moved precipitately from the houses on the other quays and are seeking homes farther book from the lake. Great tel%r has seised the inhabitants because of the mysterious aocident Some ascribe it to earthquake causes, while others believe it is but a kind of landslide on the mountain side which was caused by the action of tho lake. In Connection with the Reports of Taberenlosls In Mew Jersey. Trmtok, N. J., July 7.—Dr. E M. Hunt, secretary of tho stato board of health, stated to a reporter that the alarm evinoed in Philadelphia and other quarters about tuberculosis in cattle in southern New Jersey is without suflloient foundation. The secretary, who is an expert in the knowledge of the disease, thinks that tho report made by Veterinary Surgeon Miller, which started the scare, was exaggerated. There have always beon some cases of tuberculosis in the state, but the increase has not been more marked in this state than in the country generally. It has never been proved that the disease can be communicated to human beings by eating the meat or drinking (he milk of affected cattle. Creighton, in England, and some othor noted authorities assert the identity of human and bovine tuberculosis, but aomo even who hold this view doubt the communioaMlity of fee disease. Virchow denies even the identity of the disease in nnimnia and moo.

D°klt Lake City, Utah, July 7.—There w« a lively debate in the Mormon constitutional convention over the anti-polygamy niul the separation of church and state . lues. There was a strong opposition to thein, but they woro Anally adopted in committee of the whole, and will pretty certainly lie Agreed to by the convention to-day. There is, however, no cortainty that the people will ratify this part of the proposed constitution at the popular vote in August Many antipolygamy Mormons oppose the clauses as bitterly as some of the polygamists do. The convention has not yet comploted its labors. "Twenty-five years have witnessed the absorption of our public lands by syndicates. Native and alien bonansa fanning on the one hand and land speculation on the other have made it impossible for the two men who have been displaced by the machine to go upon the land and earn a living. They must remain in the town at city to-day. We witness a marvelous increase in the population of oar cities and an alai-minx decrease in the population of our farming districts—that is, the agricultural population does not by any means keep proportionate paoe with the population of mining, manufacturing and mechanical oentera. All this tends to show that omething must be done to equalise our population."

One of the most striking Incidents of the terriblo disaster was tho discovery at daylight of a cradle floating on the lake several hundred feet from shore. Several boatmen put off to secure it, but what was their surprise on rowing alongside to find a babe sleeping peacefully. Whether the cradle wus pushed from a window in one of the dbomed houses or was accidentally released from tho wreckage will never be known. The little child was uninjured. The scone on shore among the matrons who had gathered there to join in the general lamentation was pathetic, each woman in turn gazing wistfully into the little face in the effort to identify it The people of the whole town were on tho lake shoro all day, and work in the factories and homes was neglected. The arrangements were so carefully planned that only three people in the village knew anything of what was going on until It was ail over. Miss Rebecca had no difficulty on Tuesday In finding an excuse for visiting Red Bank, three miles away, whither she was escorted in the morning by a mutual irisnd, who was in the secret. The arrangement was for this friend to put her on tho Pennsylvania railroad train which passes there at 1:43 p. m., and Taylor was to board the some train at Mlddletown seven minutes later, when they were to journey together to New Brunswick, where the young man has relatives living, who were to receive them, and the ceremony was to be performed there. The lady's part of the programme was carried out all right; but the young man, in his excitement and eagerness, jumped aboard a New Jersey Central train passing Mlddletown halt an hour ahead of the appointed time. He searched the train with s palpitating heart, and was all broken up when he failed to find his fiancee. Cruel thoughts filled his mind as the train whirled along, and the young man remained oblivious to everything but his own sore disappointment But when the train stopped at Mattnwan he had the sensa to get off and set the telegraph in motion In search of the missing one. As that tailed to bring him immediate satisfaction or consolation, he took the next train took to Mlddletown and then discovered his mistake, and also learned that the lady had meantime gone- on board tho proper train. Then the telegraph again served them, and her natural anxiety was allayed as she sped along alone by receiving on explanatory message. She was duly received at New Brunswick by Taylor's friends, who had also been notified of the unfortunate mishap, and in the early evening he arrived there also, and again they were baoDT. The ceremony waa performed at the residence of an aunt at the young man, in New Brunswick, by a Dutch Reformed clergyman, and Immediately afterward the young 'couple traveled on to Philadelphia. They wjll return to Mlddletown the last of the ifak, and go at once to housekeeping in the old Taylor homestead, which is already prepared for them. Yesterday afternoon wed- Jgipg cards were distributed throughout the village, which was the first intimation publicly given of the affair. There is a iwR-ial anticipation that Mr. Hendrickson will rave and tear, disinherit his daughter, and refuse to be reconciled. Such Is Uie expectation of the bride and groom idatt But they took that into account before they determined upon the irrevocable step «|«y have taken. And, besides this, the lady's Kiaternal grandfather, a very old man, will not cut her off, so that she will still come Into some property, in the natural order ot event", within a few years. Her relatives were in blissful ignorance of the escapade until notified by a reporter yesterday afternoon, and then refused to sajr anything about it The Itev.

Father Dent waa charged with publishing a libelous circular, in which he accused Father Hnmmel, another priest, of wronging one Maggie Bauer and then murdering her. The trial lasted all the weak, and Father Hammel was on the stand three hours He denied all the charges made In the circular and all knowledge of the woman with whom the anonymous letters had charged him with Immoral conduct Bishop Ryan, of Buffalo, was on the stand twica. He has been active in the prosecution. Dent's irregularities resulted in his being deposed from the priestly office, and the libels were his form of revenge.

Beef, Armour's and Libbr, McNeal and Libby 2 lb tan 19c Nkw York, Jnly 1.—The grain committee of the Produce Exchange have adopted an important amendment to the rules. It consists in making No. 1 hard wheat deliverable on all contracts. Heretofore the basis of delivery has been No. 2 red. The change will make it very different to corner wheat, as in caso there is any scarcity of No. 8 red, deliveries of No. 1 hard can be made Instead, and as the crop of the latter amounts to 90,000,000 or 100,000,000 bushels annually, the task of would be cornerers will be a doubly arduous one. The average price of No. 1 hard is two or three cents a bushel above No. 3 red, but these having oontracts to deliver can well afford to sacrifice this difference if they thereby avoid being pinched by a corner.
