PLEASURE TRIPS,

Numerous Excurstons the Coming Summer at Reasonnble Kates. Whether the tourist's fancy directs him to the New England States or the Atlantic seaboard to the South or to the lake region of the North or to the Rocky Mouqtaius and the wonderland Beyond the Mississippi, he will be given opportunity to indulge his tastes at a small cost for railroad fare this year. Excursions for July include low rates over the Penn'v'ia to Baltimore for the Baptist Y. P. Union Meetintr to Asbnry Prirfe for the L. A. W. meeting, and to Boston for the Christian Endeavor Convention, and to Denver Col., account the National Educational Association m^etin*.

The Asbary Park excursion will doubtless attract many to that delightful ocean resort. Atlantic City, Cape May, Long Branch and all the famous watering places along the New Jersey coast are located on the Pennsylvania Lines, hence this will be a desirab opportunity to visit the seashore. The Denver excursion will be just the thine for a sight-seeing jaunt thro' the far West, as tickets will be honored going one way and returning a different route through the most romantic scenery beyond the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. Variable route privileges will also be accorded Boston excur sionists, enabling them to visit Niagara Falls, Montreal, Thousand Islands and St. Lawrence Rapids, the White Mountains, the Hudson River territory, and to return by steamer on Long Island Sound, after sight-seeing at Newport. Narragansett Pier, Nantucket and the Cape Cod resorts to Near York and thenc9 through the a?nc!iiltu*.al paradise of the Keystone State, along the Susquehanna and Juniata rivers, over he Alleghenies, around famous Horse Shoe Curve, through historic Johu~focvn and the coke and iron regions of Western Pennsylvania. It is also expected that Boston excursionists over the Pennsylvania Line* will be privileged to return via Baltimore and Washington if tl'i-.y so desire.

I:i a-ldition the above, there will be plenty of ot'aer cheap excursions over the Pennsylvania Lines to various points. As the sssson i* -ome weeks away, arrangements iu detail have .not. been consummated, but it is certain that DO railway •will offer better indue ments ih.vn the liberal concessions in rates nud privileges •t'oa1"- may be enjoyed by travelers over the Peansylv uva Lines.

The fire had made such headway that Quinn had barely time to escape in his night clothes. The shrieks and cries for help of the awakened victims stimulated Quinn to renew his vain exertions in their behalf.

Affection. fProm "The Life of Lincoln" by William H. Herndon and Jesse W. Weik. Copyright, 1SS8, by Jesse W. Weik. Copyright, 1892, by D. Appleton & Co.]

IX.

Mary S. Owens, a native of Green county, Ky., born Sept. 29, 1808, first became acquainted with Lincoln while on a visit to a sister, the wife of Bennet Able, an early settler in the country about New Salem. Lincoln was a frequent visitor at the house of Able and a warm friend of the family. During the visit of Miss Owens in 1833, though only remaining a month, she lingered long enough to make an impression on Lincoln, but returned to Kentucky and did not reappear in New Salem until 1836. Meanwhile Anne Butledge had died, and Lincoln's eyes began to wander after the dark haired visitor from Kentucky. Miss Owens differed from Miss Butledge in early education and the advantages of wealth. She had received an excellent education, her fa-

MART S. OWKN8L

ther being one of the wealthiest and most influential men of his time and locality. A portion of her schooling was obtained in a Cntholio convent, though in religious faith she was a Baptist. According to a description furnished me by herself, she "had fair skin, deep blue eyes and dark curling hair height 5 feet 5 inches weight, 150 pounds." She was good looking in girlhood, by many esteemed handsome, but became flashier as she grew older.

One of Miss Owens' descendants is authority for the -statement that Lincoln had boasted that "if Mary Owens ever returned to Illinois a second time he would marry her

On this second visit Lincoln paid her more inarkod attention than before, and his affections became more and more enlisted in her behalf. His honesty of purpose showed itself in all his efforts to win her hand. He told her of bis poverty, and while advising her that life with him meant to her, who had beon reared in comfort and plenty, great privation and sacrifice, yot ho wished to secure her as a wife. She, however, felt that she did not entertain for him the same feeling that he professed for her, and that she ought to entertain before accepting him, and so declined his offer. Judging from his letters alone, it has been supposed by some that she, remembering the rumor she had heard of his determination to marry her, and not being fully certain of the sincerity of his purposes, may have purposely left him in the earlier stages of his courtship somewhat in uncertainty. Later on, however, when by his manner and repeated announcement to her that hid hand and heart were at her disposal, he demonstrated the honesty and sincerity of his intentions, she declined his offer kindly, but with no uncertain meaning.

The first letter I received from Mrs. Vineyard—for she was married to Jesse Vineyard March 27, 1841—was written at Weston, Mo., May 1, 1866. Among other things, she says: "After quite a struggle with my feelings I have at last decided to send you the letters in my possession written by Mr. Lincoln, believing as I do that you area gentleman of honor and will faithfully abide by all you have said. My associations with your lamented friend were in Menard county while visiting a sister who then resided near Petersburg."

The letters written by Lincoln not revealing enough details of the courtship, I prepared a list of questions for the lady to answer in order that the entire history of their relations might be clearly shown. I perhaps pressed her too closely in such a delicate matter, for she responded in a few days as follows:

WCSTON, Mo., May 32, 1886.

Mr. W. H. Herndon: MY DEAR SIR—Really you catechise me in true lawyer style, but I feel you will have the goodness to excuse me if I decline answering all your questions in detail, being well assured that few women would have ceded as much as I have under all the circumstances.

Tou say you have heard why our acquaintance terminated as it did. I, too, have heard the same hit of gossip, but I never used the remark which Madam Rumor Bays I did to Mr. Lincoln., I think I did on one occasion say to my sister, who was very anxious for us to be married, that 1 thought Mr. Lincoln was deficient in those little links which make up tho chuin of woman's happiness—at least it was BO in my case—not that I believed it proceeded from a lack of goodness of heart, but his training had been different from mine hence there wus not that congeniality which would otherwise hii\-£ existed.

From Jii.s own showing you perceive that his heart und hand were at my disposal, and I suppose that my feelings were not sufficiently enlisted to have the matter cpn.summatcd. About the beginning of tho year 1&3 I left Illinois, at which time our acquaintance and correI»onui !Kio ceased, without ever being re-

My father, who resided ia Green county, Ky., wa3 a gentleman of ccn.iiderable means, pnd I am persuaded that few persona placed a higher estimate on education than he did. Respectfully yours, MAHY S. VINEYARD.

The reference to Lincoln's deficiency "in thost little links which make up the chain ?f woman's happiness" is of no little significance. It proved that bis training had indeed been different from hers. In a short time I again wrote Mrs. Vineyard to inquire as to the truth of a story current in New Salem that fne day as she and Mrs. Bowlin Greene were climbing up the hill to Abie's house they were joined by Lincoln that Mrs. Greene was obliged to carry her child, a fat baby boy, to the summit that Lincoln strolled carelessly along, offering no assistance to the woman who bent under the load. Thereupon Miss Owens, censuring him for his neglect, reminded him that in her estimation he would not makg a good husband. In due time came her answer:

WESTON, MO., July 23, 1806.

Mr. W. H. Herndon: DEAR SIR—1 do not think you are pertinacious in asking the question relative to old Mrs. Bowlin Greene, because 1 wish to set you right on that question. Your information no doubt came through my cousin, Mr. Gaines Greene, who visited us last winter. Whilst here he was laughing at me about Mr. Lincoln and among other things spoke about the circumstance in connection with Mrs. Greene and child. My impression is now that I tacitly admitted it, for it was a season of trouble with me, and I gave but little heed to the matter. We never had any hard feelings towards each other that I know of. On no occasion did I say to Mr. Lincoln that 1 did not believe he would make a kind husband because he did not tender his services to Mrs. Greene in helping of her carry her babe. As I s:iid to you in a former letter, I thought him lacking in smaller attentions. One circumstance presents itself Just now to my mind'B eye. There was a company of us going to Uncle Billy Greene's. Mr. Lincoln was riding with mc, and wo had a very bad branch to cross. Tho other gentlemen were very officious in seeing that their partners got safely over. We were behind, he riding in, never looking back to soe how I got along. When I rode up beside him, I remarked: "You area nice fellow I I suppose you did not c.-ira whether my neck was broken or not." He laughingly replied—I suppose by way of compliment—that he knew I was plenty smart to take care of myself.

In many things he was sensitive almost to a fault. He told me of an incident—that he was crossing a prairie.ono day and saw before him "a hog mired down," to use his own language. He was rather "fixed up," and he resolved that he Would pass on without looking at the slioat. Aftor he had gono by ho said the feeling was irresistible, and he had to look back, and the poor thing seemed to say wistfully, "There now, my last hope is gone that he deliberately got down and relieved it from its difficulty.

In many things wo were congenial spirits. In politics we saw eye to eye, though since then we differed as widely as the south is from tho north. Butmethinksl hear you say, "Save me from a political woman 1" Bo say I.

Tho last message I ever received from him was about a year after we parted in Illinois. Mrs. Able visited Kentucky, and he said to her in Springfield, "Tell your sister that I think she was a great fool because she did not stay here and marry me." Characteristic of the man! Respectfully yours,

MART S. VINEYARD.

We have thus been favored with the lady's side of this case, and it is but fair that we should hear the testimony of her honest but ungainly suitor. Fortunately for us and for history we have his view of the case in a series of letters which liavo been preserved with

.. zealous care""by the lady's family. The ia a repor

]etter was written from Vandali a,

which he belonged was in session. After reciting the progress of legislation and the flattering prospect that then existed for the removal of the seat of government to Springfield, he gets down to personal matters by apprising her of his illness for a few days, coupled, with the announcement that he is mortified by daily trips to the postoffice in quest of her letter, which it seemed never would arrive. "You see,"he complains, "I am mad about that okl letter yet. don't liko to risk you again. I'll trj you once more anyhow." Further along in the course of tho missive he says: "You recollect Imentioned at the outset of this letter that I had been unwell. That is tho fact, though I believe 1 am about well now, but that, with other things I cannot account for, have conspired, and have gotten my spirits so low that I feel that I would rather be in any place in tho world than here. 1 roally cannot endure the thought of staying here ten weeks. Write back a* soon as you get this, and, if possible, say something that will please me, for really I have not been pleased since left you."

After the adjournment of the legisia ture he returned to Springfield, from which point he found time to communicate with the friend whose case wa? constantly uppermost in his mind. Here is one characteristic letter:

SPRINGFIELD, May 7, 1S37.

FRIEND MART—I have commenced two letters to send you before this, both of which displeased me before 1 got half done, and so 1 tore them up. The first, I thought, wasn't serious enough, and the second was on the other extreme. I shall send this, turn out as it may.

This thing of living in Springfield is rather a dull business, after all. At least it is so to me. I am quite as lonesomo here as (1) ever was anywhere in my life. 1 have been spoken to by but one woman since I've been here, and should not have been by her if she could have avoided it. I've never been to church yet and probably shall not be soon. I stay away because I am conscious I should not know how to behave myself. I am often thinking of what we said of your coming to live at Springfield. I am afraid you would not be satisfied. There is great deal of flourishing about in carriages here, which it would be your doom to see without sharing in it. You would have to be poor without the means of hiding your poverty. Do you believe you could bear that patiently? Whatever woman may cast her lot with mine, should any one ever do so, it is my intention to do all in my power to make her happy and contented, and there is nothing I can imagine that would make me more unhappy than to fail in fee effort. I know I should bo much .happier with you than the way I am, provided I saw no signs of discontent in you.

What you have said to me may have been in jest, or I may have misunderstood it. If so, then let it be forgotten if otherwise, I much wish you would think seriously before you decide. For my part, I have alroady decided. What I have said I will most positively abide by, provided you wish it. My opinion is you had better not do it. You have not been accustomed to hardship, and it may be more severe than you Imagine. I know you aie capable of thinking correctly on any subject, and if you deliberate maturely upon this before you decide then I am willing to abide your decision.

Yon must write mo a good long letter after you get this. You have nothing else to do, and though it might not seem interesting to you after you have written it it would be a good deal of company in this busy wilderness. Tell your sister 1 don't want to hear any more about sellitig out and moving. That gives me tho hypo \vh ui.-\*er I thir.k of it. YJV.^S eta-,

ELECTRICITY IS DEATH

It Proved to Do Such to Buchanan.

EXECUTED IN SING SING PRISON.

The First Application of the Current Di«X Not Produce Death and a Second On* Wai Turned on—The Highest Vol tag*

Used Wax 1,740—The Crime For Whieb "He Died. SING SING, N. Y., July 2.—Dr. Robert Buchanan, who Doisoned his second wife for her money, was electrocuted yesterday. The current was turned on 1,740 volts for four seconds, reduced to vj| 400 volts, left on for 30 seconds, when 'jf| it was turned on to 1,740 volts again 4 and gradually reduced.

His leg was slightly scorched and smoked during the last few seconds of i) the execution. The body was perfectly jl motionless after the current was turned on. "Jj|

Thirty-two seconds after the current was turned off Buchanan was examined by the physicians, who discovered S slight pulsation of the heart. The vio- j| tini also gasped, and the doctors declared life was not extinct. The cor* sent was again turned on full force of 1,740 volts, where it was held for 23 seeonds, when it was again turned off. Buchanan was pronouncod dead in seconds.

Dr. Robert W. Buchanan came hero from Nova Scotia. In 1883 he married

Annie Price Patterson and procured tt divorce from her in New York on NOT, 12, 1890. He was at that tii'ne a pract:'oi.'ig physician in that city. Ho became acquainted with Mrs. Anna B. Sutherland, who was alleged to be a woman of qxiestionable character. A few days prior to his marriage to the Sutherland woman on Nov. 29, 1890, she executed a will, leaving her Newark and other property to Buchanan. After their marriage they went to liva at 267 West Eleventh street, New York city.

Dr. Buchanan having an interest in the woman's death, was accused of poisoning her, and he was arrested on June 0, charged with the murder, and three days later he was indicted. On March 20, 1893, the trial was began, and on April 26 a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree was rendered by the jury. The law was successfully used to stay the electrocution repeatedly. On May 27 the court of appeals resentenced Buchanan to die during the week beginning July 1. Buchanan remarried his first wii'e shortly after th* death of his second wife.

Hanging in Montana.
