THE CITY ENGINEER'S PLANS.

He Carried Them Out Despite the Objections of the Girl's Father.

DONN ROBERTS ELOPES WITH MISS GRACE TIERNAN.

The Couple Are Married at Indianapolis—What the Harsh Parents Say.

Donn M. Roberts and Miss Grace Tiernan eloped yesterday afternoon and were married at Indianapolis. They left the city on the 12:42 p. m. Vandalia train* and Father Bessonies was awaiting their arrival in Indianapolis to perform the marriage ceremony. The announcement will be a great surprise to all. Mr. Roberts had secured the license from the Vigo county clerk at 11,. and Miss Tiernan called on a friend at Mrs. Willien's residence. Mr. Roberts, accidentally, of course, walked by the house where she was calling and Miss Tiernan, accidentally, of course, saw him. She asked him where he was going, and he told her he was going away to spend the Fourth. Miss Tiernan requested him to wait a few moments and she would go with him. The proposition was accepted. A lady friend of Miss Tiernan was present and was given to understand the import of the apparently trival remarks and careless arrangement for spending the Fourth.

Mr. Roberts is the city engineer, the son of Dr. W. H. Roberts, and recently graduated from the mechanical engineering department of the Polytechnic institute. Mrs. Roberts is the daughter of Mr. Richard A. Tieman, of 1449 south Third street. Her father was greatly surprised and Bhocked to hear of the elopement, the first knowledge of which was conveyed to him by a telegum from his daughter and son-in-law, from Indianapolis, announcing their marriage. Mr. Tiernan took the matter cooly, apparently disposed to accept the fact and to make the best of it. He had but little to say to an EXPRESS man, when called upon last evening, except that the elopement was unnecessary, that his daughter had gone up town yesterday morning for the ostensible purpose of getting her teeth fixed, or something of that kind, and lie had reiiCeived no further information from 'p^her until the telegram brought the news of her marriage.

He said that the elopement was a surprise to him, as well as unnecessary, be: cause had his daughter spoken to him of the matter, and said that she was determined to get married, he would have given his unqualified consent, and the marriage CM^ld have occurred at home lie said that Mr. Roberts bad been calling on his daughter about six monthB, and that he had called at her home until a month ago, since which time he had seen her at the residence of a young lady friend up town. In speaking of the cause for the elopement Mr. Tierman said: "I had not opposed her marriage but had merely insisted upon her postponing the event. The reason that I did so was that she is but 20 years old, and is not yet eligible to certain property to which Bhe is the heiress by the will of her grandmother. The will is peculiarly constructed so that my daughter is not eligible to the property until I die, whether she may be married or single. That is why I attempted to persuade her to postpone her marriage. I will make no trouble about it, however, nor anything of that kind."

Miss Tiernan will be 21 years of age her next birthday, and is heiress to a fortune variously estimated, at from twenty thousand to one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. A large part of the property is in this city, and some of it consists of valuable farming lands near by. The property was a secondary matter to her. She had teld one of her young lady friends several dayrago that she intended to elope, and her friend tried to persuade her to postpone her marriage until she should become 21 years of age. She answered these arguments by Baying that she could not wait so long that her father was opposed to her receiving company and that her home, therefore, was •si,.' like a prison. She said that she would die before her 21st birthday unless relief should come to her, and she courted elopement with her lover as the most welcome relief. She complained because she said her father would not only not allow her to receive her lover at her home, but also forbade her receiving other company. She is pretty and accomplished, and a favorite in society, and society is favored by her.

Dr. W. H. Roberts, the father of the gay young Donn was not at all perturbed last evening when seen. In fact the doctor was forewarned, and, perhaps, rather gloried in the spirit his son had shown in the matter. He has the utmost faith in his eldest born who has made his father a confident in all matters. When Mr. Tiernan wrote to Donn forbidding him the house, Donn submitted to his father a reply to the note in which he gracefully accepted the banishment. Later when Donn had met his sweetheart at the home of a common friend, and Mr. Tiernan objected to this, Donn consulted hiB father. There's a great deal of "spunk" in Roberts, pere. When the couple had been married at Indianapolis, they Bent the doctor a message signed

Special to the Express. INDIANA TOLIS, July 3.—Donn Roberta and Mis9 Grace Tiernan reached this city on the 3 o'clock train and proceeded immediately to the residence of Bishop Chatard, from whom a special dispensation for the marriage was procured. They went before Father Bessonies and were married. At 4:30 o'clock they reached the Grand hotel and registered as man and wife. Mr. Gill MoNutt was in the hotel when the happy couple arrived and instructed the hotel people to show Mr. Roberts all the fa* vors possible. After supper Mr. Roberts called a carriage and spent couple of hours in driving his bride aver the city. THE EXPRESS correspondent was in waiting for him when he returned. "I aift willing to toll you everything I know," said he, "but there isn't much to say. I made up my mind

to marry Miss Tiernan. She was willing and as we couldn't be married at her home we concluded to oome hen and have the ceremony performed. It waa an easy matter to get away from Terre Haute. Miss Tiernan's father knew, guess, that Iwaa in love with Grace, bi he didn't dream that we would elop_. Why, he wouldn't even allow me to call on her at her home." "Do you think your wife's parents will become reconciled to the marriage?" "I am not giving myself any uneeai nesa on that soore. I am amply able tc take care of myself, and Mr. Tiernan can do Just as he pleases. I expect to make myself worthy of the lady I have married, and I feel that I have not done anything that I should be ashamed of."

Mr. and Mrs. Roberta left for Chicago at 11 o'clock to-night. They will return to Terre Haute in about a week.

Miners Killed by an ExplMlra. PARIS, July 3.—A despatch says" that 20Q minere were killed by an explosion at St. Etinne. Two pita were affected by the explosion. One of them is inundated the other is on fire. Sixteen bodies have been recovered. Ten of the miners who were taken out alive are so badly injured that they will probably die. Sixty horses employed in the mines were burned to death. The news of the disaster spread quickly, and the mouths of the pit were soon surrounded by crowds of relatives and friendq of the imprisoned minera. There is no hope of rescuing any of the men now in the pita, all of whom have probably already perished.

THE PARNELL COMMISSION.

Mr. Davitt Discourses on Many Things To Day—The Clan-na-Gael. LONDON, July 3.—Mr. Davitt, in continuing his testimony before the Parnell commission to-day, stated' that he would not object to joining any movement to secure the independence of Ireland if such a movement was backed by a force -strong enough to justify the hope of its success. M. Harris, one of those with whom he had conferred, had given .permission for his name to be divulged, but at present the witness could not divulge the names of the other Irish Republican brotherhood leaders without their permission.

Chief Justice Hannon said that Attorney General Webster was entitled to press the question as to what others were present, but oould wait until the end of the examination to do so.

Witness further said that he failed to win the Irish Republican brotherhood leaders to approve of the adoption of an open movement, with the exception of

He intended to make the land inde-

Tlarris. lestion a indence of Ireland, treating the landlords as an English garrison. The league's programme had now become the programme of the Tory government. [Laughter.]

Mr. Davitt refused to say whether or not Mr. James O'Kelly, member of the house of commons for the northern division of Roscommon, had been engaged to distribute firearms, and declared that he did not know whether the trustees of the skirmishing fund—Dr. Carroll and Messrs. Breslin, Luby, Devoy Burke and Roesa—belonged to the Clan-na-Gael. There is a hue and cry against the Clan-na-Gael in America for political purposes.

Witness declared he must be careful of what he said, but he would say that they are all extreme Nationalists. Mr. Davitt said that many persons opposed his scheme on the ground that if the people became tenant farmers they might grow lukewarm in thexcause of independence. A majority wthe people opposed Fenianism anr dfcret societies. Irish-Americans o'Lighted to the scheme, holding that it -^SKild give the iliticians too muo1, Jower. Witness id converted man Jttionaliata to his views. Attorney Geiiaral Webster read resolutions demanding the overthrow of British domain and this establishment of an Irish republic. Mr. Davitt admitted that he was present at the meeting in America when the resolutions were id. He stated that he did not dissent.

He said: "I am a Rspublican by principle." The resolutions were cabled to Mr. Parnell, but never reached him. Witness had never discussed them with Mr. Parnell. Mr. Davitt said: "Mr. Parnell and I differ because Mr. Parnell is opposed to oomplete separation, but if ne got his measure through I would loyally support it. If he was successful the demand for separation would eventually die." Continuing, the witness said he had made fifty speeches in America in which he asked the extremists to fairly try Mr. Parnell's movement.

A stranger, unacquainted with the manifestations of American patriotism, would have thought that the Fourth of July was upnnJiiB yesterday evening. The UBUP1 J&works were kept fizzing and popt.iig in all parts of the city. The only consolation to be had from these premature manifestations was the thought that those who were thus enjoying themselves were free from the attacks of the overgrown mosquitoea of the Wabash valley.

A Bad lire at Salt Lake.

SALT LAKE, Utah, July 3.—A fire started in the Nevada bakery, corner of Main and Carbonate atreets, and spread with alarming rapidity. Everybody thought the Merchanta' hotel, next to the corner, would stop the flamee, but owing to the high wind the fire awept through a row of frame buildings to the hotel, a brick building. The flames swept along Main street, consuming buildings supposed to be fire proof, as if they were tinder. The heat was so oppressive that the firemen had to deeert their hoee and hose cart and consequently the town was left to the mercy of the fire. Word was sent to Belleville, five miles south, and her company hurried to the scene with all available apparatus, but too late to be of service. After leaving the Merchanta' hotel, the fire swept eouth onto the next block, jumped the street to tbe weet and returned north along the street, burning all the houses with the single exception of Friedman & Co'a fireproof building. Of fourh solid brick buildings, nothing IB left but this one store. The burnt district includes the entire business port ion and takes in but few residences, so there will not be any deatitution. The insurance on the property destroyed will not exceed one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. A number of the largeet losers were not insured, among the heaviest losses are Koffin & Co., $100,000, insured $57,000 Idaho forwarding company $25,000, Merchanta' hotel $10,000, J. A. Rupert $15,000.

He Seems to Be in Perfect Condition—Kilrain Starts From Baltimore.

NEW ORLEANS, July 3.—Aa the day of battle draws nearj*the excitement beoomea intense, and thouaands of people express themaelvea ss being anxioua to goto the aceneof tMTmill, no matter where it takea place. Enthusiasts engaged in buainees are already laying the foundation for excusss to go. Sick headache, stomach troubles,, etc., are frequent, and shrewd?" guesaera lay' all thase wmplainte to a desire to see the fight on Monday. Betting on the result waa not very lively to-day, there being plenty of Sullivan money but little Kilrain money in Bight. The Kilrain men an holding baok for the advent of the bookmakers, and knowing ones who are expected in to-day. One bet of $300 to $250 on Sullivan was plaoad to day, and bets of $100 to $70 and $100 to $60 on Sullivan were offered but found no takers. The Sullivan men are not offering theee odds because )hey underrate Kilrain, but because the letter's friends are shjr just now. One friend of Kilrain said: "It would be impossible for a man fed on Boeten baked beana to get away with a man fed on canvass back ducks and Chesapeake oyaters," and laid a email wager on his opinion.

Prof. Butler will have charge of the ring polio*, who will number 200 men. They are to be sworn in on Sunday next at the office of the Spirit of the South. The managers of the fight give assurance that the utmost order will be maintained. A special train "left over the Queen & Crescent line to-day, having as passengers the managers and friends of the two sluggers, and they did not return until late in the night.

The Young Men'a gymnastic club held si meeting to-night to arrange for the reception of Sullivan, who will reach here to-morrow. He will be met at the depot by a large delegation of offioers and the most prominent members, and be driven to the club-roome, where the champion will beweloomedinaa quiet a manner as possible. After that he will be taken to hie quarters at Spaniah Fort Three rooms have been prepared in the Casino for Sullivan and his trainers. They oonnect with each other by doors, and are comfortably furnished.

The Southern athletic club will receive Kilrain and a large delegation will go out on a special train to meet him and party on Friday. Kilrain and party will embark on a epecial train at the meeting imint and oome'to the city, where carriages will take all to the club-rooms, where quarters have been prepared for him.

It is a curious thing to note tbe sudden faith that has sprung up in the curative watere of Abita Springs, and the deeire that has suddenly seized a great number of people to eniff the perfume of the pine. Almost every one met on the streets is going to Abita Springs on Monday.

Z%'- Kilrain LMTOT Baltimura. BALTIMORE, Md., July 3.—Jake Kilrain left Baltimore at 2:15 this afternoon by the Baltimore & Ohio railroad* Jake, accompanied by Johnny Murphy, Pony Moore and Mitohel, drove up to Camden station shortly before two o'clock and went immediately to the Pullman car where berths had been reserved. Jake wore a dark suit and a large straw hat. His face was unshaven, and he looked tired and serioue, though he sssured every one that he felt tip-top. A queer lot of men Were gathered in that oar—men with the latest style high, light hat, flannel nhirt and diamonds, and other jewelry. Most of the New York crowd looked as though they had been up all night. Among them were James Hill of Albany, Dominick MeCaffery, Pat Rooney, Billy Manden, Bob Turkaull, R. H. Harker, Dave Holland, Wm. O'Neal and Hugh Cullom. Several hundred persons were present, but there were no cheers as the train left. The train is expected to arrive at New Orleans at 11 o'clock on Friday. Tbe betting heres about $103 to $90 on Sullivan.

Snlll'van Reaches Chattanooga. CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., July 3.—John I* Sullivan and party passed through this city to-night enroute for the scene of battle. They will reach New Orleans tomorrow. Sullivan ia trained to 206 pounds. His flash is hard and he is in most excellent condition. He declarea his intention of winning the fight or dying in the ring. The odds in local betting are about five to three on Sullivan. Muldoon declares that if the fight ia interfered with, aa now doea not seem probable, they will go into training quarters and select another ground. Sullivan ia exercising with dumb bells and skipping the rope while on the train.

THB OIL WELLS.

Clark County Hasan Opportunity to Reap Bis Benefit, We are informed that some of our Terre Haute capitalists, in conjunction with some gentlemen of Marshall, 111.,

had taken some preliminary Btepe for the organization of a company for the purpose of boring for gas or oil at the old "Young well" in Clark conty. 111., if sufficient encouragement were given by the land owners in that section, in liberal and fair leasss but we understand that they have not met with such encouragement as they had expected frpm the citizens of Parker Prairie, and have therefore about abandoned the project Undoubtedly gas and oil, and probably both, exist there, and possibly in large quantities, and if developed would no doubt give Clark county a big boom.

The Rose Oil & Gas company was organized Tuesday by the election of the following officers:

1

Prealdent W. M. Slaughter. Vice President—W. B. Elder. Secretary—J. Hide. Treasurer—L. A. Burnett. Dlrecters—In addition to the above. T. H. Hlte, A. U. Black and Hugo Duenweg. The company will probably drill near Staunton. —r*-.-.

The Markle oompany has the material on the ground and is erecting a derrick .r at the old Markle mills. The contract. for drilling the well was let yesterday to Mr. Churchill, who drilled the Diall well, and drilling will commence in a week.

The Centennial's drills sterted on the 27th, and to-day are deeper than any well in the same length of time. They have broken all records, and hope to overtake many of those which started far ahead of them. Mr. Frink, the contractor, is an experienced man in the oil well business, and Mr. George W. Davia, the superintendent, who is devoting his time to the well, is one who iB likely tti inspire all with whom he comes in contact, with his own resolution and strong purpose.
