RACY DEVELOPMENTS.

The St. Louis Globe Democrat Tells Some Interesting Facts Relating to Kflie Culver's Elopement.

The St. Louis Globe Democrat interviewed Effie Culver and her friend, Miss Myers, after the arrest in St. LouiB and gives the following.racy details of the elopement:

After the first meeting in the church Miss Culver says that she saw Campbell frequenely. She used to steal away from home at night and meet Campbell clandestinely. He asked to marry him, she says, and she carried his proposition first to her bosom friend, Miss Meyer, and then to her parents. The latter were indignant at what they considered grossly insolent presumption on the part'of Campbell. Neither father nor mother had ever been introduced to him. Dr. Culver said he did not like Campbell's looks, anyway, and in the hope of breaking off what looked to him to be a serious love affair he forbade Miss Culver to recognize the man.

This was a terrible shock to the young lady, and she unbosomed herself to Miss Meyers, and that young lady tried to console her.

Both of them went straightway to Campbell, and then there were more demonstrations. "They fell into each other's arms," eaid Miss Meyer in des cribing this meeting between the lovers last night, and they bawled as if their hearts were breaking. It the loveliest affair I ever saw."

He asked Miss Culver to run away with him. Miss Meyer heard him make the request, and she thought it was the "sweetest thing"*! she ever heard. Miss Culver hardly knew what to say in reply to this proposition, but finally she consented to leave home and go with him.

Tuesday night, June! 23, Campbell ana Miss Culver eloped. Miss Meyer assisted them in getting iaway, and she told a Olobe Democrat reporter at the Pour Courts last evening just how it was done. While Miss Meyer was relating the incident she sat beside a couch, upon which Miss Culver lay. "I helped Effie and Campbell to get away," said Miss Meyer, "and the way she got away from the house was too funny for anything. It was about 11 o'clock at night. Campbell stood in the alley in the rear of Effie's home with a large telescope valise. I went into the yard. The night was dark as pitch, and Effie's parents had retired The window of her sleeping' apart ments was open and the gas in her room burned low. Effie poked her head out of the window, and threw to me what wardrobe she wanted to take with her. I carried the garments piece at a time to Campbell who putjthem in the valise. When she had thrown out everything she wanted to take with her, she went downstairs quietly and left the house by a rear door, There she joined Campbell and me, We went to the .depot, and £they left on a midnight train for St. Louis Her parents learned nothing of iher elopement until the next day."

Campbell and Miss Culver came di rect to St. Louis. He promised to mar ry her here, according to the girl They first went to the Summit House where they 'registered as man and wife. They remained there only a few days, and then they went to a boarding house kept by a Mrs. Kelly. Campbell got a position as soliciting agent for a portrait enlarging concern. And then he developed a most jealous disposition. According to Miss Culver he was insanely jealous of her, so much so that he dragged her about the city during the day while he solicited orders. He made her walk everywhere, she claims, even to following him into houses. "I used to get so tired following him around that I nearly fell dead in my tracks," she said.

From Carr street Campbell took MisB Culver to 1217 Washington avenue, where they lived until their arrest. Miss Culver says that while she was with Campbell there he was brutal toward her. Several times he assaulted her, and more than once threatened her life. She had laid plans to get away from Campbell and return home when the clouds of her miserable life broke and her father came to her aid.

Mr. Campbell was lock up ill the calaboose, and Detective Kinney and Miss Meyer took charge of Miss Culver. At police headquarters the girl fainted several times, and said she was sorry for her conduct. She claimed that Campbell had always led her to believe that he was a divorced man, until a few days age, when he admitted the truth. She said she was anxious to get back home. She said Campbell bad exercised a strange influence over her, which she could not describe. To this influence she attributed her infat

uation for the man. She said she had learned to detest him, however. The man consented to return to Indianapolis without requisition papers, and at 8 o'clock last night Detective Kinney returned to Indianapolis with the elopers. Besides the charge of abduction against Campbell, he is wanted at Indianapolis on the charge of embezzling funds belonging to the insurance company by which he was employed before he ran away with Miss Culver. Campbell refused to talk about the case.

The following from the Indianapolis News relates to the home coming Monday morning:

There was an exciting scene at the Union station when the train baaring Miss Culver, Campbell, Miss Myers and Detective Kinney arrived. Dr. Culver and several of his friends were present. When Miss Culver appeared on the platform, with tears flowing, her father became wild, and ran forward to get at Campbell. "Wheye is the wheip?" asked the doctor. "Let me at the man that has ruined my girl."

It required the strength of five or six men to hold the distracted parent* whose cries could be heard all through the sheds of the station. A crowd collected, and when Campbell looked from the car he seemed to regard what he saw as ominous, for he shook so that the chains on him rattled. He begged detective Kinney to take him out some other way than through the

gates, asked a passenger to remain with him for protection, requested that he be driven away in a hack, fearing to wait for the patrol wagon, and wanted to be taken to the jail for safe keeping. The wishes of Campbell were not respected, however, for he was taken to police headquarters. Dr. Culver soon appeared there, and made another effort to get at the man who had run away with his daughter. He paced to and fro in the halls of the building, swinging his arms frantically and crying loudly. Friends assisted him home, while Miss Culver and Miss Myers remained in the care of matron Buchanan.

In police court this morning Campbell was charged with kidnapping. Because of the physical condition of Miss Culver and Miss Myers, who were fatigued from travel, the case was continued.

Indianapolis Journal: The police department has possession of letters which Effie Culver wrote to Colin J. Campbell previous to their leaving the city. Upon them Campbell places his chief reliance for a defense. The letters are indeed corroborative of the statements made by Campbell to the effect that Miss Culver was as guilty as himself. In the letters Miss Culver ver says she was anxious to leave the city and urged Campbell to hasten the preparations for their departure. Miss Culver, however, has an explanation of the letters. She says that when she would meet Campbell he would tell her almost exactly what to say to him when she wrote to him the next time. The letters were written practically from dictation. Miss Culver has none of the letters written to her by Campbell. She says he instructed her to destroy them as soon as received and that she had obeyed. Campbell was careful, however, to preserve all Miss Culver's letters. Campbell still refused to talk yesterday except to complain of the action of the police in refusing to surrender the letters to him. He claims that they are his best defense and fears they will be de& troyed.

Groendyke Is Improving.

Peter Groendyke, who was injured in the Breaks neighborhood last week, is getting better and will doubtless recover. Relative to his mishap is not an uninteresting story. Some days before Groendyke was hurt, his step-father-in-law, Alonzo Caven, who works for Bert Breaks, invited Groendyke and his wife to take dinner with him. As the Groendykes had other arrangements for the day they failed to come. This infuriated Caven, who visited the Groendykes and gave the young man a beating. He then left, threatening dire things. When, a few day6 later, young Groendyke was found bleeding and senseless on the roadside many suspected Caven of again assaulting him. The Horse Thief Detective Company held a meeting to take, action, but Bert Breaks happened to be able to establish an alibi for Caven. Had he not been able to do so Caven would likely have been bandied roughly.

litre's Curtain Drops on Bingo.

"Bingo" the well known white bulldog so long a loafer about the city hall and a sort of a side partner of officer Jack Bannister, is now romping through the bone strewn streets of dog heaven. Monday he bit the horse of a Mrs. Miller at the Big Four station and the horse ran away demolishing the buggy and playing hob generally. As "Bingo" has been entirely too festive on previous occasions this last act caused an edict for his death.

Will Start a Paper.

Edgar Walts, of Chalmers, has located at New Richmond and will next week begin the publication of a weekly newspaper there. His paper will be called "The Record."

PART FIRST

A LAMENTABLE DEATH.

Frank McClamroch Dies Wednesday After short Illness From Malarial Fever.

Although expected for two days, the death of Frank. McClamroch, which occurred from malarial fever Wednesday morning at 4 o'clock, saddened and shocked the people of Crawfordsville, by whom the young man was so well known and so well liked. No death for a long season has caused greater regret or more sincere and profound expressions of sympathy for those so distressingly bereaved. The funeral services occurred from the home of his father, John McClamroch, 320 south Washington street, this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, interment at Oak Hill.

Frank McClamroch was born near Crawfordsville twenty-five years ago the first of last January, and passed the greater portion of his li'e in this city—all of it in the county. He attended the city schools and was graduated with honors from the high school in the class of '91, being the only boy in the class. After graduation he took a position in the First National Bank, but later entered the boot and shoe business with his father, being so engaged when death took him. He evidenced early in life a decided prediliction tor military affairs, and when only eighteen years of age was captain of Company I of the State militia. He was also at one time District Commander of the P. O. S. of A. Frank was an accomplished musician and was at the time of his death president of the Washburn Symphony

Club. He was a member of the Lotus Club where his musical talent was often evidenced and always admired. Perhaps no young man in town was more energetic in business or more faithful in the performance of his business duties. In fact his restless energy counted fatally against him in his illness, he being unable to undergo the quiet and restraint of the sick room. Frank McClamroch was a peculiarly popular young man and his many admirable traits of character so impressed themselves\t upon tall with whom he came in contact that'all had for him the kindliest feeling and the greatest regard. His death is a lamentable one from whatever standpoint it may be viewed, and in their sad bereavement his relatives have the whole community's sympathy.

Remains Taken To Orawfordsvllls.

Muncie Times: A touching scene occurred at the Presbyterian parsonage this morning. At about 4 o'clock the remains of the dear boy whose death was announced on 'yesterday were taken from the home. Prayer was offered by Rev. Hill and the body, in charge of undertaker S. L. Potter, was placed in the ambulance for the long journey to Crawfordsville, where the burial will occur. Just as the start was made the birds began singing their morning carols. There were tears on the faces of our dear friends, but in their hearts even then, in perhaps the saddest hour that had »ever come to them, hope was singing its notes of Christian faith and victory. They stood in the twilight, their leyes upon the caBket which held the form so dear to them, but even while they looked the morning had come. So they knew in this hour of sorrow that in a little time a still brighter dawn shall come and "all the shadows flee away." It is a sad bereavement which has come to the home of our brother and his wife, but they know that it is the Father's hand which has been laid upon them. They know, too, that it is "well with the child." The Gardener who was always watchful of the precious flower saw that the time had come to transplant it. So, for its better care and safety He has taken it out of the bleak winds into the conservatory. Even in our sorrow we must say it is well—the Gardener knows what is best.

Good Ran.

On Monday evening Charley Gregg and Sid Warner made what is regarded as a splendid tandem run. They went to Darlington, eleven miles in forty eight minutes, thence to Lafayette, thirty-one and one-balf miles in three hours. This made a total of for-ty-two and one-half miles in three hours and forty-eight minutes. For a dark night ride this record has not been beaten. The distance was measured by a Reeder cyclometer..

A Big Shoot.

The Crawfordsville Gun Club will give a big shoot on July 14, at the Oversteak grounds. The best talent in Indianapolis, Terre Haute, Lafayette, Frankfort, Peru, South Bend and many other places have accepted invitations to be present and the affair will be a gorgeous one in all its details.
