. HOW THE YOUTH OF KEYSVILLE WIIIU TAKEN I
IN AND DONE FOB.
The Gibson Enterprise has news
: from Keysville of a romantic marriage
i there. The principal actors in the
wedding scone were Mr. 11. N. Br.-id
! shaw and Miss Mattie Stovall. Mr.
Bradshaw is a merchant of Keysville
|—a man past the age of youthful fool
ishness, ami has been regarded as an
old bachelor. Miss Stovall isa pretty
and fascinating young lady of Thom
son, and came to Keysville two or
three weeks ago on a visit. 'The
presence of so attractive a young lady
soon drew admiring young men from
the surrounding country to Keysville,
■' and iu that place who were
I fond of her company, and among this
number was Mr. 11. N. Bradshaw.
Saturday Mr. Bradshaw decided to
I bring matter.-; to a crisis, so pop) cd
j the question to Miss Stovull and was
accepted. They concluded to marry
■as soon as possible, so as to surprise
i people, and Saturday afternoon Mr.
Bradshaw boarded the narrow gauge
train and went to Augusta. That
night he took the Georgia road, ar
rived at 'J hoinson about 2 a. m., waked
j up the ordinary, procured the license
] and returned to Keysville Sunday
morning Sunday afternoon Mr. R
N. Bradshaw and Miss Stovall were
pronounced man and wife, greatly to
the surprise of many.
But now cornea in the fun. Several
young men from the country, clad in
their best Bunday-go-to-ineetings,aml
with fancy turnouts, arrived iu Keys
ville Sunday aft-moon after the mar
riage hud occurred. They had been
much pleased with the fair visitor,
and ignorant of the t'ue stale of as. .
lairs, had come with the intention of,
making a lasting impi <-s-ion upon her.
Wlifeii they learned that, she whom
they hud come to ue* was then Mrs
Br ilshaw. they were dnmbfouude 1
and a more crest fallen lot was never
seen.

Omaha, Neu., June 14.—A discovery j
has been made that the conductors :
and brakemen on tho Union Pacific |
railroad have been carry ing out a i
systematic scheme of robbery, like |
that exposed some mouths ago on the :
Pennsylvania railroad. The officials
have been suspicious for sumo time i
that Hoiuetlinig was going on, and last '
winter discharged several men but
were unable to get a clue. Yesterday
a cur was broken open at Central
City and goods taken from it. A
UUi'gram was received by an official
hero, giving a lint of the stolen proper
ty, nud also stating that tho thieves ;
had been spotted. Several robberies I
of the same character have boon com [
milled nt. Central City, and it seems 1
that crews running east from j
Cheyenne arc most deeply involved.

HAYE THEY MRKk OIL?
10l NG MEN WHO THINK THEY HAVE HIT IP
HAIID.
Tho Atlanta correspondent of tho
Chronicle says: Mr. Frank
Colley and Mr. E. T. Shubrjek think
they have struck oil in Wilkes county,
hi opening a mill race n, nr tho Brood
river u few days ago, an unmistakable
trace of oil appeared in the water,nnd
investigation showed that it was
present iu considerable quantity nt n
certain point on tho bank. Samples
of tho earth and greasy water were
brought to Atlanta and to-day sub
mitted to Colonel Baum, of artesian
well fame. When a match was ap
plied thf-si samples readily ignited,
and the gentlemen interested have
bought up options on the adjoining
lands, urd think they will have a big
thing. Colonel Baum was unwilling
to express an opinion as to tlie char
acter and value of the oil until he
could inspect it at the place where it
appears, and will go down at ou< ® to
NVilkcs county to do so. Colonel Bh.-
brick also goes down to secure options
on the lands acrv.es the river, as be is
informed bv both Colonel Baum and
Professor McCutchen, of the Agricul
turai Department, that if there is oil
there it is probably in the land on the
opposite side of the river, and t is is
but a small vein which has run acrosa
under the bed of the stream.
Col. Klmbrick thinks they have
found petroleum oil, and that there is
millions in it. His many friends in
I the State will rejoice with him if this
is true.
