THK WAY OF THE WOE1D.

MISS MAflKME COTTON, A'FOKMKR FRKK- POHTKIi, SAID TO HAVE SKIPPED nocKFono TO BE UNITED IN MAR- ItlAQK WITH A ROLLICK SKATER CHAP. The citizens of Freeport well remember James Cotton, who for many years was the St. Paul company's representative here. He had a family of handsome Lizzie now Mrs. Thorn; Miss Maggie, and Emma.

They were favorites in Freeport, and when they left for Rockford many expressions of regret were nade. The Rockford papers contained sensation'al articles in regard to Miss Maggie going off to get married. regret the occurrance, and reprint Gazette article, also contains in interview with Mrs. Cotton. It is as follows: Rockford people will remember Mr.

Humes, the young man tvho managed the roller rink in this city during the early part of the present eason. Mr. Humes was a nice young man, a model of grace upon the rollers, ind an agreeable conversationalist, and is not to be wondered at that the learts of more than one fair one in the 3ity experienced a pang at the announcement that the rink was going to be closed, and Mr. Humes was going to ake his departure. Among the most constant patrons of the rink was Miss Maggie Cotton, a young lady of nine- een summers, the daughter of James Cotton, the agent of the Milwaukee St.

Paul road in this city. Maggie is fair of face and figure, and she evinced a fondness for Mr. lumes' society, it is not surprising that he fondness was returned upon the part of the agreeable manager of the ink. The young couple were thrown much nto each other's society, and an affec- ion appears to have ripened between horn that was fanned into an unques- ionable (lame. By the actions of Mr.

Cotton, who did not look with any fancy upon the pro- )osed matter, Maggie saw that her 'ather would never consent to her and at once proposed to think up scheme whereby she could outwit her observant parent. She held uninterrupted correspondence with her absent gallant, and the two planned an elopement as the only )ossible way out of the dilemna. Maggie was to leave the city ostensibly to visit lady friend in Earlville, and while absent upon this trip, was to join Mr. Humes, and the two would hie liemaelves to some convenient locality where Hymen's blessing could be sought without the formality of a paternal consent being asked. Saturday morning in obedience to this plan, Maggie left the city and stated to her Parents that she was going to Eiirlville for a few weeks to visit a friend who paid Maggie a visit some months since.

The watchful parent however smell- eel rat, and having his eyes opened further by an anonymous note received him which apprized him of his laughter's intentions, lie boarded the next train following his daughter, determined to frustrate her I'lans. Hits. COTTON SATS. A reporter for the Gazette called on Mrs. Cotton at her residence this afternoon.

She did not know anything about the elopement. Maggie, she said, left home a short time ago to visit with a Miss Currier, in Earlville, and only a short time since Mr. Cotton rr- ceived an anonymous letter stating his daughter hud gone off to be married to Mr. Humes. Mr.

Cotton had barely time to go from the depot to the bouse and notify Mrs. Cotton and take the train for Chicago. Mrs. Cotton knew from what other people said that Maggie had been corresponding with Humes. She had always understool that he was a respectable young man, but did not think much of him after this had come up, or any one else who would try to elope with a young girl.

A despatch had come to the depot, she said, from Mr. Cotton, who was in Chicago, stating, "We will be back this evening." By this she had inferred that he had succeeded in finding the daughter, and woulu return with her this evening. AT REST. THE FUNERAL SERVICES OVER THE REMAINS OF THE LATE MFSS SARAH FLORAL TRIBUTES. The Milwaukee Sentinel of Monday says: The remains of Miss Sarah Blade, eldest daughter of A.

Blade, at present of Freeport, 111., and formerly a well- known merchant of this city, were taken to her last resting place in Greenwood cemetery, yesterday. The funeral took place from the residence of L. Blade, 31)9 Sixth street, at 0 o'clock, the impressive rites of the Hebrew church being rendered by Rabbi Moses, amid a large concourse of sorrowing friends and relatives, among whom the deceased had been an especial favorite. The floral offerings, which were profuse and beautiful, were sent from Freeport, South Bend, Chicago and this city. The tioral offerings are said to have been remarkable for their beauty.

Among them was a pillow of lilies and white roses, with the name "Sarah" in pansies; a broken column; a heart pierced by an arrow; a star from the Eastern Star Chapter, A. F. A. South Bend, a lovely star upon a pedestal from Hon llettiuger and family, Freeport; a sickle, scythe, horseshoe and a large number of others from friends. Mr.

and MM. Blade reached South Bend last Saturday morning about 10 o'clock aud their daughter was uearing the end. Dr. Blade, her uncle, was ably assisted in the care of her by Dr. McAllister, an eminent physician of South Bend, who did all in his power to save the young lady.

But the disease would not relax its hold, and at 7:15 o'clock in the morning she passed away. In all these weeks of keenest suffering, Miss Blade has been patient, aud bore her pain with heroism, and in her last moments she recognized her parents, but could not utter a word. Mr. and Mrs. Blade express their heartfelt thanks to the people of Souti Bend, who interested themselves so much in their daughter during her ill ness.

Services were conducted at that a long line of earrings following remains to the depot. They were taken to Milwaukee, the family being accompanied by Dr. family, of South Bend, A. L. Cincinnati.

Max Blade, of this city, was also in attendance at the funeral of his cousin. The sudden taking off of one who, by ler noble bearing, endeared herself to Ho many; of one who, to all human ken, WHS so much needed, tutu Uirowu a dark cloud of sorrow over the entire community, and produced a profound sympathy with the bereaved in the great oss they have sustained. THE RAILROAD WORLD. MORE FACTS REGARDING THE NEW IS GOING ON IN GENERAL ON THE ROADS. The Monroe Gazette contains an article on the Honey Creek extension of the proposed C.

F. St. P. road which we reproduce, as follows: W. O.

Wright, President, and M. J. Uriggs, Attorney for the Chicago Freeport and St. Paul Railroad, was in this ity on Saturday last, and called at this ofiice and said they would consider a imposition from the of Monroe build a spur track from Honey Creek Monroe, providingfthe aid shouldjbe sufficient to warrant that the people would appreciate the road if built. Sfow if the people of this city want ihis road to strike us, they now have a chance to show their public spirit by calling a meeingand ascertain just what aid the city will give.

If this road should pass our even giving us a spur track, it would in course of time kill our little city deader than a door nail. By giving us a spur to terminate here, would benefit the city more than to pass on through, and at the same time give us the benefit of two roads. Call a public meeting immediately, and see what the people will do in regard to aiding this enterprise. The question is now, shall we have two railroads, or remain content with one? The people will have to decide the ter. The Ridgeway.

Enterprise says: We were happy to greet the genial M. j. Briggs of Georgetown, on Thursday. Mr. Brsggs came here by appointment to meet Mr.

Wright, to look over matters relating to the new railroad proposed to cross the ridge here. The gentlemen speak well of this point, and we shall hear more from them as soon as they confer with New York parties who are back the road. Mr. Wm. O.

Wright, president of the Chicago, Freeport and St. Paul Railway company made a pleasant call at our village on Thurscay, looking up matters in connection with the projected crossing of the line of their road at this place. Mr. Wright has experienced the benefits of railway competition at Freeport and can speak intelligently on the subject. A railroad from Chicago via Freeport Ridgeway, Portage and thence St.

Paul would give Ridgeway the benefit of direct communication wit'i the Wisconsin Central the immense fine fores's through which it runs, thus giving us a better grade of lumber for less money than we now get it for. If the new railroad company were to ask Ridgeway for ten thousand dollars aid to.paid in two payments after the road was built and in actual operation the fann- ers of this town would get their money hack in five years at least. N. o. A special to the Chicago Tribune on Saturday from Galena says: "It is confidently believed by leading railroad men interviewed by the Tribune correspondent that the Chicago and Northwestern company will not I mild during the present year the project line between here and Savanna, nor close up the gap between Galena and Freeport.

It may be safely stated, at least, that the immediate construction of the lines in question has-been abaudoded. This is also true of the Chicago and North Wisconsin project road from Savanna to East Dubuque, and the AVinona, Alma and Northern road on the east bank of the Mississippi to St. Paul. The turn of affairs in the direction mentioned has occasioned no little disgust here." Just as predicted by this paper a few weeks ago. The purchasing of the Blair system in Iowa has 'satisfied the aims of the Northwes't'n company.

A Runaway. Rosa Moore, aged sixteen years, is in jail. was sent from Rockford to the Girl's Industrial school at Chicago, three years ago, and managed to make her escape from that place yesterday and arrived in the city on the Illinois Central train in the afternoon. A telegram from Superintendent Babbit, was handed to Officer Sheridan, and that faithful officer soon found the girl, who was looking for her mother, who resides in Stoskopf's building on Van Buren Street. Another telegram was received to tke effect that the superintendent would come after her.

She says she was illtreated. SUBURBAN SIFTINGS. ORANGEVILLE. (From our own Correspondent.) Mr. Krape, of Pennsylvania, was the guest of Krape one day last week.
