Friday a romauca was cousummjted away
up In the Adirondack!! wblcti, iq tanlrU
plot and novel Uetallx, claiun equality wlih
the strangest of the many fabulous t'liris--mas
tails that ar )ut now being printed.
Tbe story lb told by a man wbo came to tliii
town to-day from Sftngorllle, Hamilton
county. Krd Koderlck, a young man of
24 or i6 years, of buriy frame, but with :i
certain manly charm In bU rouU ways, tbe
son of a popular old guide up at Indian
Lake, bas been confined In tbe Hamilton
county tail at SaKerllle for tbe past four
or live months awaiting trial on tbe charge
of stealing a pair of horses from a farmer of
that county. Every Sunday afternoon tha
l!ev. Arthur Chambers, the pantor of tbe
Methodist church in the vlllae, in com
pany with a dozen or lifteeen rarfinhers of
his congregation, bold a prayer meeting in
'be Jail. For two years it has been the
habit of
MI88 aONKS AUSTIN,
the young and by no means uncomely
daughter of tbe villaze apothecary, to Join
tbe missionary band, and ber sweet voico in
credited with bavins influenced many a
ougb hearted prisoner to eiperlnce con
version. The first Sunday after Roderick's
arrest, abe became acquainted with bint
during the meeting, and on several suc
ceeding Sundays It wag noticed, without
exciting remark, she was oftener in a aide
corridor with tbe prisoner than at her cusr
tnrnary post In the cbotr, laboring for rhe
general salvation. After a month or o, by
permission of the Sheriff, sbe made special
and irregular week day visits to tbe
prisoner, assuring tbe Jail attendauta that
ber "heathen" was fan falling under the
lufluenoe. Finally abe began to neglect her
Sunday work, but her week day visits be
oarae more frequent. Tbil led to some
little whispering among ber co-workers but
no genuine general suspicion waa arousid.
Some live or sir weeks ago Roderick con
fessed conviction at a Sunday meeting,
given at;tbe time hearty praise and credit to
tht evangelizing efforts of Miss Austin.
Tb)s only bred envy In the several breasts
of ber deserted co-workers and toniue after
tongue began to wag until at every fireside
in the community t was tbe chief topic
discussed. With tbe
POSTOFFICE LOAFKRS
Aggie Austin's name wm In an opprobri
ous sense connected with that of Ferd.
Roderick, and all sorts of reckless talk was
indulged In. Mr. Austin vainly forbade his
daughter continuing ber vlsita to tbe Jail.
The father then called in tbe sberlff, and tn
this was more successful, for the visit
were at once Interdicted. Two weeks ago
ast Thursday Agnes disappeared from ber
'lorae, and nothing was beard of ber
-vbereabouts ustll last Friday, when a
constable came riding Into tageville with
Agoea behind him. Sbe was taken before
tbe magistrate and aent to Jail on a charge
if stealing one of the very horses for tbe
iheft of which
HER LOVER
was suffering confinement. Tbe constable
said that sbe stole the horse In broad day
light, and when pursued made but a very
feeble attempt to escape. Her story is
that Ferd told her to go to his father's
camp and await bis arrival, which would
be as soon as an opportunity for escape pre
sented itself. After waking for him at the
camp for more tban a week sbe says sbe be
came desperate, and, resolving to Join bim
in jail, ran away from the camp with tbe
deliberate Intention of committing some
crime tbat would place her by her lover's
side. Her stealing the same horse tbat Ferd
had once stolen, sbe asserts, was a simple
accident. Miss Austin's ball was fixed at
800, but sbe refused to accept bondsmen
and reaume ber liberty. On Friday morn
ing Roderick sent for the sberlff and In
formed bim that he wished to wed Miss
A;nes Austin, who, when brought before
the sheriff, declared a similar desire. Tbe
girl being 19 years old, and therefore of
legal age, tbe sheriff deemed it his duty to
comply with their wishes and committing
magistrate Jarvis waa summoned. At 3
o'clock in tbe afternoon. In tbe corridor of
the Jail with tbe sheriff and two deputies at
witnesses, the felon lovers were raadt
one. The District Attorney
UNPOKTICiLLY DECLARES
that this most remarkable of Hymen's con
solidations will not hinder bim from prose
cuting tbe bride and groom on the separate
indictments. He promises, however, to
try and bring both cases up at the same
term of court, and thua allow the pair to
make their bridal Journey together to their
future mountain home at Clinton prison.
Tbe father of Miss Austin makes some dire
threats against the Sberlff for his course,
but it ia evident enough that tbe romantic
horse thieves have many sympatbizsrs
among the excited village people, who were
late to bed Friday night, and neglectful of
their business yesterday because they were
so absorbed in hearing and so eager to tell
the story of tbe wedding of tbe Jail birds.
It bas been said by some tbat no Hamilton
county Jury will ever :onvit the pair, and
t hat as no one is a loser by tbelr crimes
tbey should be permitted to try liberty
again. There being but one corridor In
the Jail, man and wife are not separated
during tbe day, but they oocupy different
colls.

president was too grateful for Kelloss'

the prosecution anainst bim very active.
Mr. Walsh weut over tbe history of tbu

noise to make people think the thieves

I.ndupf.ndknck, Mo. , Dec. 24. Your
correspondent braved the elements yester
day afternoon and drove about three nil es
southwest of the el'y to tbe residence of
Col. Samuel Uiilston, father-in-law of
Frank Jainf. In answer to the summons
at tbe door, Col. Ralstnu appeared, and. in
n ply to a query, said that Frank bad gone
to spend the aflprnoon with his wife at a
neighbor ' near by.
Col. Raision is very communicative on
the subject of bis son-in-law, and bas
every belief in bis ultimate acquittal. He
related the oft told story of tbe marriage of
his daughter Anna to Frank, and described
the sorrow be bad experienced because be
believed that be would never see her again.
"Things have changed," said Mr. Ral
ston, "and 1 now expect the lat
(lays of my existence to be happy
ones. "
The correspondent then proceeded to the
resilience of Mr. Wm. Hill, and found the
object of his search sitting beside an old
time fire-place. "I am enjoying my free
dom splendidly," said Frank. "I ate the
heartiest and best (and be cast bis eyes in
the direction of bis mother-in-law) dinner
to-day I have eaten in fourteen months. I
am feeling very much exhausted. The ex
citement, travel and trouble of the last two
days bavu nearly worn me
out. It was a generous Christ
mas gift for the United States oourt to let
me spend tbe holiday with ray family aud
friends. I hardly ev ented so much cour
tesy after tbe treatment 1 hare received at
the bands of tbe State authorities. Do you
know tbat Mayor Warner actually came up
and sho k bands with me and treated mc as
if I were a man?"
He said be was not apprehensive of con
viction on any of tbe charges preferred
against him. All he wanted was a fair and
impM-tial trial in each. He was confident
tbat be could prove bis Innocence and
would satisfy the public tbat he was not
what they bad thought bim to be all these

Newark, Dec. 24. -At 9:30 o'olock last
night a 17-year-old boy rushed Into the
First District Police Station, and in the
wildest excitement exclaimed:
"Send for a doclor; I've shot a man."
Lieut. Trowbr.diie thought the fellow
wrs crazy. Tbe youth said his nam e was
John Schneider, and that he had shot his
brother, Gustav, at their boarding house,
No. 17(5 Williams street. Tbe brother
boardod with John Schopcber an 1 his wife.
Gustav, aged 20, is a blacksmith, and John
is employed in the Domestic Seiwuj Ma
chine Factory. The brothers bad a quar
rel about bimnesj matters, and during tbe
war of words tbe elder called the younger a
vile name. John at that time was in asi
SiiJ ilninvr room. He retorted, and

fist to strike, when John drew a 82-callbre
n vDlver and fired, shooting Gustav through
the heart. Mrs. Sabopcben entered tbe
room Just as the shot was fired. Tbe mur
derer rushed into the other room, pointing
