After congratulations had been extended the gueBts were ushered into the dining room, where, upon small tables a most elaborate wedding breakfast was served The house was profusely adorned with Easter ilowers lilies, hyacinths and jonquils being used in abundance, ex haling their fragrance and exhibiting their beauty throughout the rooms. A great many of them, too, were the gift of friends. The bride was lovely in a white

She is one of the most attractive of Lafayette's young women, and is highly accomplished, possessing a rare artistic talent. She goes to fill her new home with grace and dignity, and with the best wishes of many admiring friends. Her going away gown was a green broadcloth braided in black, with a hat to correspond.

When Michigan City was reached Lane turned to the Sheriff and said: "Clark heretofore during my life I have al ways been anxious to begin work when I got a new job, but this time I'm not BO anxious to begin." Lane walked inside the prison walls with a firm step and showed no concern when a guard took him in charge and begun changing his clothes for the prison stripes. Before leaving here Lane in conversation with Deputy Sheriff Jackson said that he helped to build the walls of the penitentiary around the foundry building, working for his brother, who had the contract. These walls now hold him a prisoner.

Klection of Trustees.

I Judge Adair, of Columbia City, Whitley county, has rendered a decision which holds the law constitutional that changes the time of electing trustees and assessors from November, 1898 to November, 1900. If the 1897 law had been held unconstitutional the the 1891 law would have been unconstitutional also, as both virtually ex tended the terms of trustees beyond four years. Then the law of 1889 would have been in force, which provided for an election last Monday and four years thereafter. Trustees now in office hold for a term of four years, and until their successors are elected and qualified.

At the residence of the bride, in Mace, on Wednesday evening occurred the marriage of Minnie M. Bradley to J. E.Williams, Rev. C. Riley officiating.

The bride formed many friends in this city while attending college here, who join in extending congratulations.

PART FIRST

THE WILSON TRAGEDY.

What the Michigan city 1'nperM Have to feiay—The llotly Itrou^ht Here For Interment.

The Michigan City News of Thursday speakingof the killing of Harry Wilson says: "Since the sensational gossip and many stories incident to the first announcement of the death of Harry Wilson from the effects of a mace in the hands of Policeman Dolau, have had their run, much sympathy is expressed for Mr. Dolan and but little, if any censure, by Dublic sentiment, is placed upon the officer. That the officer was justified in using his mace is now hardly questioned by those who have investigated the cause. "The affair was an unfortunate one, and no one regretB its occurrence more than does Mr. Dolan. While he prob-

feels that he did only his duty, as

an officer of the law, in making an arrest of a defiant and dangerous haracter, yet, the results fall upon him with a crushing sorrow, such as none but those placed in similar circumstances can realize. Mrs. Dolan is distracted with grief and has the sympathy of everyone. "On the other hand, but little sympathy is heard expressed for the unfortunate young man whose own conduct brought upon him the misfortune which befell him. His conduct, not only since he has lived in Michigan City, but while at his former home, Crawfordsville, was not such as would illicit much sympathy. He has had frequent trouble, and at times has been guilty of assaults wherein his victim might have met the fate that has befell him. He has at times been in the custody of the police, and upon one occasion made his escape by striking an officer and then jerking loose and running away, for which he was never prosecutud. He had made loud threatB that no Michigan City policeman could ever take him, and that ho could not be taken.

With this condition of affairs confronting an officer who attempts to make an arrest, it iB not at all likely that he will take many chances in being himself defeated, or assaulted by a resisting offender of the law hence, while it may appear from first impressions that Officer Dolan might have been overzealous in the performance of his duties, yet, when the true conditions are known, as they no doubt will be when a hearing of the case is had in court, it is not unlikely that his actions may be deemed justifiable.

UNLAWFUL THBKAT8.

"It is understood that certain parties in sympathy with the dead man's cause, have been making threats of a vicious nature, swearing dire vengeance upon Mr. Dolan. It were better, perhaps, for all parties concerned if such threats were not made. It will only tend to injure the cause of those who may feel they have been injured and displays a disposition not calculated to deserve much sympathy. The attempt to carry out such threats could not but end utterly disastrous to the persons making 6uch attempts. "The coroner's verdict was as follows: 'Whereas, on an inquisition over the dead body of Harry Wilson, held this day, I render the following verdict: I find that Harry Wilson came to his death from a blood clot on the brain, caused by a blow from a mace held in the hand of Bernard W. Dolan. 'Given under my hand aud seal, the 5th day of April, 1898. 'H. LONG, Coroner.

Immediately after the coroner rendered his verdict last night, Constable W. H. Donly placed Officer Dclan under arrest. Mr. Dolan was taken to the prison la6t evening and given comfortable quarters in the officers' department, where he now remains. A warrant was issued to-day by Justice Snook charging Mr Dolan with involuntary manslaughter. Upon the agreement of the attorneys the preliminary hearing of the defendant was deferred until Thursday, April 14. In the meantime Justice Snook ordered Constable Donly to keep Mr. Dolan in custody."

HODY BROUGHT HERE.

The body of the dead boy arrived in Crawfordsville yesterday, being accompanied by his family and several friends. Among others was Morris Gibson, late of this city and now a ball player on the Michigan City team. Gibson asserts that the killing was a wilful murder and is so held by the people of Michigan City. He says Dolan is an ugly customer and entire* iy too free with his mace.
