DEATH OX A PICKET FENCE.

A TRAGIC OCCURRENCE NEAR EATON. Two Yonnz Ladles Killed Other Stat Naif A Strike for Shorter Time The Stan, Murder Trial President Jordan's New rnoulty Notes. Mcxcie, April 14. Special. J Two young ladies of prominent Delaware county families met tragic deaths this moraine from tho game accident and dying in the same hour. They vera Cora, the twelve-year-old daughter of Dr. A. L. Murray, a prominent physician of Eaton, ten miles north of Muncie, and Umms, the twenty-year-old daughter of Jacob Petersen, a wealthy farmer living near Granville, a village a few miles distant. Mies Cora had been visiting Mies Peterson over nicht, and both girls started for Eaton this morning to attend a normal school in session there. They rodo in a light cart and drove rather a spirited horse. A shower coming up suddenly caused ono of the girls to raiso her umbrella. Tho horso took affright at this tr.d dashed up the pike at a tremendous rate of speed. A quarter of a mile away wis a turn in the road, and on the far Ei lo was a picket fence. When tho horse reached this he endeavored to make the turn, and the spectators were horri-fi-.-d to eee tho girls thrown with great forco egainot tho fence.

Dispatches from Milwaukee confirm a rumor that Nolan Hathaway of Chicago and Miss Henrietta Bo wen, tl.e millionaire heiress of Delphi, were secretly married in that city Feb. S. Hathaway's parents reside in Los Angeles, Cal., and ho hna had a remarkably romantic career. Miss Eowen is one of the heirs of the late Abner H. Bowen, over whose estate and the taxes there has been much litipation at Delphi during the last two weeks. The notoriety occasioned by these reports induced Mr. Hathaway and IIi?s Bowen to have a quiet wedding and not let even their intimate friends into the Eecret until the Delphi storm had subsided. The marriage is allirmed on the authority of the Kov. Sabin Halsey of "Wisconsin, who tied the knot. Mr. Hathaway is employed with the American paper company. "When seen he declined to talk about his marriage or corroborate the report that he had made an alliance with one section of the late Abner II. Bowen's $3,000,000. "My private affairs can be of no interest to the public," averred Mr. Hathaway, "and I cannot talk about them." Nolan Hathaway has long been an enTied young man. A handsome face, a fine figure, gentle manners and a rich tenor voice have made him a great favorite of the ladies, and to them he owes hi3 prosperity. Envious people say he is lucky, but his friends say he has earned all his brilliant prospects. "With a millionaire wife and a patroness whose check is good for half that sum, Mr. Hathaway does not seem to have a life of worry and toil for bread before him. Mr. Hathaway was born at "Washington Court House, O., about twenty-eight years ago and is of good family connections. Ho came to Chicago ten or twelve years ago and entered the humble vocation of a clerk. Mr. Hathaway's possibilities did not develop until about six years ago. His adventures since that time are related by a gentleman who knew the lucky young man when he lived in Indiana. "Hathaway has enjoyed a meteoric career," he said. "His latest achievement, however, is the capsheaf of several previous fortunate conquests. JSix years ago he was an underpaid and overworked dry goods cterk in Lafayette, Ind. He came there without friends, but it did not take long for him to get in tho local swim. He assessed a sweet tenor voice, which was coon in demand for amateur entertainments. ".Mrs. E. C. Sumner, widow of the 'Benton county cattlo king,' was residing in Lafayette at the time and became attracted by Hathaway, whom she had met in a social way. hho was becoming, advanced ia years and had largo business interests to look after. Hathaway said the right thing at the right time and from dry goods clerk became private secretary to Mrs. bamner and business manager of her large landed interests. She virtually adopted him as a eon, for ever since then lie has been her confidential adviser and one of her prospective heirs. Mrs. Sumner resides in a beautiful home in this" city and the finest euito in her Louse is occupied by her protege, who, since coming to Chicago, Las held positions of responsibility with J. V. Farrell k Co. and the National p3per company. Hathaway's future plans are the subject of much speculation by thoso who know of his career." Deutii, April 1 Special. The case of Stewart, the administrator of Abner II. Uowen vs. Nathaniel W. Bowen, on charge of intermcdiing, tried last week before Judge Walker, was up for hearing today on a motion for a now trial hied by the plaintiff, and after argument by counsel the court sustained the motion. Therefore this case, which involves the validity of the gift of the decedent, a few days before his death, of nearly all his personal property to two of his eons, to dispose of end divide amon the heirs one-third to the widow and the two-thirds equally among the children will bo up for trial again.

Ad Indictment Found A;ltnt Ex-Treasurer l'unz nt Shelby. Shelby vi lle, April 15. Special. An indictment wa6 returned today ugainst Michael Bosz, ex-county treasurer, charging him with the embezzlement of $13,000. In IScSO Foz' term expired and he was found short $13,000. Henotitied his bondsmen and a compromise was effected. It was agreed by all the parties that Fosz should turn over all his property, amounting to $-?,000, to the bondsmen, ami they wero to pay off the deficit and make settlement with the county. All the bondsmen except two or three paid their quota and the matter was supposed to be settled. Thene delinquents, however, have been kicking ever since, and have at each successive grand jury tried to indict him until tho present grand jury did it, it is thought, simply to get rid of harassment. It is also currently reported thnt one of the bondsmen has placed himself in a position to be severely criticised, if not prosecuted, for compounding a felony by offering to prevent tho indictment if Bosz would aseij:n his life insurance policy to him. This, together with the fact that the prosecution is looked upon as vindictive, and tho further fart that the citizens regarded the matter fully settled by compromise to such an extent as to fully relieve Posz of criminal liability, if not legally, certainly from a moral standpoint, furnishes sufficient grounds for the belief that the prosecution will be a failure. LYNCHING SUGGESTED.

There it was ascertained that early in the evening a man and woman had hired a boat at Oscar Field's boat house, bnt their names conld not be learned. Any doubt as to the fact that the occupants of the boat were drowned are sH aside by the statement cf Charles Sohwartz, whojoformed a reporter for THE Sentinel that he was within 500 feet of the boat when it capsized and heard the cries of theocenpacta for help. The canal was dragged for several hours and at 1 o'clock Sunday morning the body of the woman was dragged from the canal about a Quarter of s mile north of Brighton Beach, bhe was a young woman, probably twenty years of a ge, was garbed in a black dress, and about ber throat was a gold necsJaee.

Everybody has read about the World's Fair, and nearly everybody has read the fine . illustrated catalogue of the Foster Buggy and Cart company of Cincinnati. Ohio, who are the manufacturers of the celebrated "Foster" S 15.25 buggies and $5.25 harness. Those who have not received their catalogue should send at one for it. You could not spend a few tniuutei to better advantage than in reading a catalogue of the "Foster" carriages and har nfw, and a postal card to their addrest , will secure jou this valuable book frca . This firm is known throughout the co-intrj as the largest and cheapest bugy andean emporium in the world, and do tte largest business direct with the consumer of any house in the country. How the can sell a splendid road wagon for $37.50 is one of the mysteries, but they actually do thia.
