DanbcRY, Conn., May 9.—A few weeks a%xi an itom was published concerning the elopement of Deborah Knapp, a pretty white girl of Mill Plain, a suburb of this city, with Frank Tread way, a colored youth who drives an express wagon here. Last week Deborah's sister, younger than she and much prettier, left her home and met Amos Riley, a negro, who is a wa ter in a restaurant here. The two went to Brewster's, N. Y., where they were married by a clergyman whose name they refesed to give. They are now keeping house together in Grifflng's lane in tbis city, and their married life is not at all pleasant, as the dusky belles in that neighborhood make it warm for the "white trash." Tread way, who married the eldjr sister, has received several White Cap notices, but as yet nothing has been done toward carrying out the threats they contained.

Kalamazoo, Mich., May 9.—Six women were killed and fire injured in a collision which occurred between a street car and a switch engine on the Michigan Central road here. The engine was on its way to aid a freight train at Ostend, and had orders to make extra speed. At the same time a street car on the West Main street line was nearing the track, and the driver, not hearing the warning whittle or seeing the gates lowered, supposed that all was safe and proceeded as usuaL Washington, May 9.—Secretary Windom and Assistant Secretary Tichenor beard arguments in favor of the continuance of the custom of non-assessment of duty on railway cars coming from Canada to the United States. The Canadian and the United States roads were represented by Digby Bell, excollector at Detroit; Benjamin Flagler, excollector at Suspension Bridge; Mr. Russell, attorney for the Canadian Southern Pacific Battroad company; W. R. Bates, formerly special agent for the treasury department, and ex-Representative Spalding,of Michigan. Several months ago the present collector of customs at Port Huron suspended the rules relating to the non-assessment of Canadian railroad cars, whifh had been in force for twenty years, and issued an order making them dutiable. The treasury department confirmed the order, but afterward suspended it until the representatives of the different roads could be he .rd. The attorneys for the Canadian companies protested that the rule had been too long in operation to be disturbed.London, Ma,y 9.—Mr. Parnell's examination was finished before the special commis sion. He testified that the reception committee in America comprised the leading merchants of New York, representative citi*ens an I ministers of religion. Iu his speeches in New York Mr. Parnell had declared thai not a farthing contributed t) the Irish cause would go toward organizing rebellion in fi eland. Throughout his tour of the United States he had never swerved a ba r's breadth from that declaration. Attorney General Webster, the witness paid, had quoted from five out of sixty speeches he had made in the United States, ignoring the general tenor of his speeches, so as to misrepresent his words. A'l the names the attorney general had mentioned as those of persons who were associated with the meetings were only a small fraction of those who had attended. Men of prominent positions and of undoubted respectab lity attended these meetings. He said: "We meet active competition rjl along our line except from Cheyenne to Jdt Lake City. Between Denver and Cayenne the competition is very strong." In regard to the opposition from roads connected with steamship lines on the Pacific coast, Mr. Adams said that that was a pretty big subject The Northern Pacific, Southern Pacific and Canadian Pacific all havf steamship connections. or mailed for price. Old man Schumm, who was foreman of a gang a year ago in sewer construction, was also a witness, and when que tioned as to whether Charl is Schumm was employed on the works denied all knowle Ige of him, saying if his name was on the pay roll he didn't know how it got there. JARCK'S Constable Neering, of New Milford, came here with a warrant or the arrest of Henry Jackson, a coal black negro, and Mrs. Phoebe Hoyt, a good looking white woman, about 35 years old. The watyjant charged Jackson with non support of MHaniily and desertion, and the woman with adultery.

Y., where they were married by a clergyman whose name they refesed to give. They are now keeping house together in Grifflng's lane in tbis city, and their married life is not at all pleasant, as the dusky belles in that neighborhood make it warm for the "white trash."

R. Bates, formerly special agent for the treasury department, and ex-Representative Spalding,of Michigan. Several months ago the present collector of customs at Port Huron suspended the rules relating to the non-assessment of Canadian railroad cars, whifh had been in force for twenty years, and issued an order making them dutiable.

Throughout his tour of the United States he had never swerved a ba r's breadth from that declaration. Attorney General Webster, the witness paid, had quoted from five out of sixty speeches he had made in the United States, ignoring the general tenor of his speeches, so as to misrepresent his words. A'l the names the attorney general had mentioned as those of persons who were associated with the meetings were only a small fraction of those who had attended. Men of prominent positions and of undoubted respectab lity attended these meetings. He said: "We meet active competition rjl along our line except from Cheyenne to Jdt Lake City. Between Denver and Cayenne the competition is very strong." In regard to the opposition from roads connected with steamship lines on the Pacific coast, Mr. Adams said that that was a pretty big subject The Northern Pacific, Southern Pacific and Canadian Pacific all havf steamship connections. or mailed for price. Old man Schumm, who was foreman of a gang a year ago in sewer construction, was also a witness, and when que tioned as to whether Charl is Schumm was employed on the works denied all knowle Ige of him, saying if his name was on the pay roll he didn't know how it got there.
