THE INDIANAPOLIS JOUKXAL, SUNDAY, MAT S. 1887.

PERSONAL AND SOCIETY.

What Society Has B.en Doing:. Mrs. Silas Baldwin aud daughter gave a very pleasant rettion on Wednesday afternoon, which was quit largely attended! by prominent ladies. The hostesses were assisted by Mri. Enrique Miller, Mrs. Brainard Pvorison, Miss M. L. Bright and Miss Mary Morrison, the assistants escorting the guests to the refreshment-room. The mantels were adorned with flowers, both cut and potted. Several ladies who are visiting friends here were also i a attendance. -The, day was the wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. paid-in. and the occasion served as a celebration of the event. In one of the neighboring cities a new custom has bea ad'mted at the ladies' afternoon receptions, which, it is to be hoped, will be confined to that one city, or at least sever come to this. According to this new form of etiquette, guests, upon entering the dxr, give to the servant thuir cards, there b:ing one for the hostess and one for each lady receiving or assisting. The guest then makes her entrance into the pa-Ior. Upon leaving the dining-room she leaves the honse, not going aeaia to make any adieus to the hostess. The sugsesiion to not bid pood-bye was onco made here, but happily it never was-adopted. To the women of this day. who were raised with a greater amount of care an training, bestowed U',on their behavior, iich conduct would eeem the height of rudeness. The fiflea of the latter form is that the hostess is receiving all tne time and adieus are a great tax upon her which possibly might be so, but anyone who is able to stand and receive should see to it that she has strength to remain during the hours named. But the form of leaving eirds is a vulgarity and never can be anything else. Guests are not always prompt to go at the last hour named on the invitation. At a reception tfiven from 3 to G one lady arrived at her home three squares distant at 7.30. In many of the large cities the Woman's Exchange it the favorite place for ladies to go for those dainties and nice things to eat which the regular bakery does not supDiy. An ordar for almost any compound, whether of eommon or rare manufacture, will secure the best of the kind that can possibly be made. And when any sort of an entertainment is given w&ere refreshments are served, be it only cake and crem or a more elaborate fare, it is received from the exchange. And especially is this nica when no housekeeping is done. The Exchange In this city ha been rrowing in favor, and now the managers feel warranted in saying they were never in better condition, aud are able to supply almost anything there should be a call for. The closing dance for the year of Trof. Brenneke and pupils, at Tomlinson Hall, en Friday night, was a brilliant affair and witnessed by about fifteen hundred people. The children danced until 10 o'clock, when older persons took the floor. It was the finest affair ever seen in the new hall.

SLAIN EY HIS WIFE.

Shocking Tragedy at GreensbarsrJohn froraer Shot and Almost Instantly Killed. f pecial to the Indianapolis Journal. .. Geeen-sbceg, May 7. Hannah N. Fromer 6bot and killed her husband. John. Froraer, at 8.20 o'clock this morning. The history of the events leadinsr up to the tragedy is about as fol lows: John Fromer was an industrious German gentleman, about fifty years old, who formerlyresided near Millhousen, this county. There, a few years ago, his first wife died, leaving six chil dren, the oldest beine now the wife of Henry Becrsft. of this city. Fromer afterward moved to town, and on Sept. 10, 1885, married Hannah N. Loyd, who to-day murdered him. He has been the agent here of the Indianapolis Brewing Company, and furnished beer to the different retail dealers. He has always been highly regarded for honesty ana industry. The wife who slew him was at the time of their marriage a widow, her maiden name having been Jocelyn. She is forty-five years old. rather above ordinary size, and withal a fine-looking -woman aa intelligent-appear ing blonde, usually well dressed, and of becom ing demeanor. She had two- children, a son and a daughter, both married. Soon after the marriaje of Mr. and Mrs. Fromsr, dissensions arose about some property she had. and perhaps about his children, also. Mat ters crew worse, and separation came. After ward a reconciliation was effected, but soon an other disagreement followed. He took rooms up town, she remaining at her home in the west part of the city. They frequently met, howev er, but their difficulties conid not be adjusted. She cays be promised to come to her house last night, but did not keep his promise. This eon duct on his part no douot increased her anger toward him. Early this morning she came op town, and. after searching for him at different places, went to the saloon of cis brother Charles, on booth Broadway, where she had often met him, and found him in the front room. Other occupants of the house were in the rear part, and only heard a low conversation between them for a mo ment or two. He feemed to be assenting to something she said, when he asked her wnat she bad under her shawl. Instantly she crew forth, with her left had; a British bull-dog- revolver of 32-caliber, and, placing it almost directly over his heart, nred the fatal shot. Charles 1 romer, the brother, rushed forward, when she seemed ready to fire a second shot, grabbed and dis armed her. The wounded man clasoed bis arms across his breast and exclaimed: "I'm shot! I'm killed!" and soon sank to the floor. A physician was called, but the man was dead in five minutes after the shot was nrea. i tie wire, who was so irate a moment before, began at once a uitiful wailing, aad. upon being led up the Street, said: "I did sot want to kill him, but the Lord told me. I could not help it. I prayed the Lord all night to keep me from It" Upon being taken to the Mayor's office, she kept up the lame manner oi conduct, indicating insanity. but many who witnessed her conduct think there is too mncn "method in her maddess." She at once thonght of saving herself, and em ployed counsel to attend to her defense. Soon after she was taken to jail, where she will re main until Monday morning at 9 o'clock, when a preliminary hearing will be held by Mayor Creath. At 1 o'elock this afternoon an innuest was held by Esqaire Johnson, as the office of coroner is vacant by the death, a week ago, of Coroner Sanders. Much sympathy is expressed for the dead man's famuy and other friends. Many persons thick the woman is really tnsane.as it is said she tr.ea to poison herself several months ago, after he had refused to live with her longer. Fromer has said to different persons that he was afraid she would do him some harm. but evidently did not expect such a result as this. There is yet three weeks of this terra of court, and she may be tried before it closes. The affidavit filed against ber to-day charges her with murder in the first degree, which crime she has certainly committed, if she is not insane. and, therefore, not responsiole for her conduct. A WOMAN'S DEVOTION. Eighteen Years of Constancy to an Imprisoned, . Lover Followedly a Plea for Pardon. Nashville, Tenn., May 7. tighteen years ngo the doors of the State prison closed upon Frank Riddle, of Maury county, who had been sentenced to life-imprisonment for murdering a German peddler. There were doubts as to the guilt of Riddle, who, refusing to acknowledge the crime and aceept a term of fifteen years, insisted upon a plea of not guilty. The trial resulted ia his conviction, and the defendant appealed to the Supreme Court, which granted a new hear ing. A second verdict against Riddle was rendered, and he was sent to the penitentiary. Yeajf" after year passed. Una after another of the life con victs died, and Riddle almost abandoned hope of obtaining his freedom. While Governor Tay lor was seated in his office, yesterday, a woman walked into the apartment and presented to the Governor a petition for executiue clemency. signed by the lessees and everv officer of the prison, who stated that Riddle's long incarceration had served the ends of justice. Accompanying the petition was a letter written by the woman who bore it. After the Governor had read the documents the lady rose, and addressing him, said: 'Governor Taylor, when tht man was accused of murder I was engaged to be married to him. 1 did not believe bim guilty, and did not break the engagement. During the two or three years that .the trial was pending, I still believed in him. During the eighteen yetrs of his confinement I have stuck to him. His parents have died. His brother and sisters are all dead, except a sister who lives out West. The people who were interested in the case then have forgotten him. I am the only friend he has in the world. My life has been wrapped up in him. I believe in him, and have loved him through all these lo?g, weary years, and I want you to pardon . him. . 1 do not ask you to think him innocent man. but for the sake of two lives that may yet be happy, I implore you to set him free." Without waiting to bear the Governor's decision, she arose and left the office and the Capitol. When the Governor had cleared bis eyes of tears he said to Bishop Granberry: "Such devotion and constancy I have never seen, and whatever Riddle may have deserved, it does look as if that woman ought to have a chance at happiness." The prisoner will be pardoned. Hallway Tliievt-s Captured. Chicago, May 7. For several months past the freight cars of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway Company have been plundered. The thieves took everything possible, from grain to general merchandise. Detectives were set to work, aud soon discovered that the robberies were committed in the town of Lake, and that a laree gang of thieves were engaeed in the work. On the night of April 19 detectives mounted guard on a train of merchandise standing near Forty-seventh street. They were rewarded by the arrival of the thieves, who proceeded to break open a car loaded with hides. The officers permitted them to get well along, and then endeavored to capture them. A stock train was backing down the traf k, however, and as the plunderers leaped to the ground this train cut them off completely from all the officers save one. named Wm. Allen, who instantly opened lire. The fire was as promotly returned, and a blow from a car link upon the head stretched out Allen. At this moment another detective, who had succeeded in swinging himself through the moving train, came upon the scene and discharged his pistol at the fugitives. He was almost able to overtake one. whom he recognized to be a burglar named Fre? Kqyzer. iSinoe that time the Rock Island officers have been quietly at work aad have discovered portion of the gang in the persons of Pat McUauley. Ed ward Mushier. Joe Morris, Fred Key ser and Robert Johnson, all of them known to be bad characters, lieCaulev, Mushier and Morris are safe in hand, and today Robert Johnson was arrested here, leaving but one unaccounted for.
