SAD RESULT OF A RUNAWAY.

The runaway mentioned last week, of which Charles Murray and wife, of Barkley Tp., were the victims, has had a sad and fatal result. Mrs, Murray, whose condition last week seemed much better, soon grew worse again, and died early last Tuesday morning, June 11th, after days of

dreadful suffering. She undoubtedly received internal injuries which were beyond the reach of medical skill to recognize or to relieve. The immediate cause of her death was puerperal convulsions. She and her husband were married only last December. They have grown up together and been lovers since childhood. Her death to him is a fearful blow. Her maiden name was Viols M. Sample, and her age only 19 years.

I The funeral was held yesterday, at Barkley M. E. church, and conducted by Bev. J. S. Wright, who only six short months before performed her marriage ceremony. Briefly restated the facts of the accident leading to Mrs. Murray’s death are these. On Sunday, June 2nd, she and Mr. Murray drove to John Humes’ place, in Union Tp., to procure the services of Mr. Humes’ daughter to assist in house wdrk. On their way home, having Miss Humes with them, and they riding three in the single seat of the top buggy, and Mrs. Murray was driving. The horses suddenly and without apparent cause, became frightened, and plunging wildly, first to one side and then to tbe other, the buggy was upset, and all the occupants thrown out. Mr. Murray was not hurt at all; Miss Humes had her wrist broken; while the injuries to Mrs. Murray have, as stated, resulted in her sad and untimely death. A prematurely born infant survives her, but with but the slightest prospects for continued existence.

THE TOWN BOARD.

The Town Board, Monday night, received a petition from property owners asking for a sewer or system of sewers and drains to drain in one operation about all of the eastern and north eastern part of town, such as Sunnyside and Columbia Additions, and large parts of Weston’s and Leopold’s Additions. Some of the petitioner* also asked that Makemself ditch be made a covered sewer, from about Gillette’s foundry clear to the river. The consideration of the petition was deferred until next month. The Main street sewer was reported as completed and was accepted. The Dayton street sewer was referred back to the viewers. E. L. Clark was re-elected school trustee for the term of three years, to succeed himself.

ADDITIONAL LOCALS.

J. P. overton is making a pleasure trip in Virginia. J. G. Morrison, of Chicago, archi-, t ect of the Odd Fellows’ building was in town yesterday. Seven or eight expert brick-layers are now potting up the walls of the Odd Fellows’ building, with a rush. George Strickfaden offers SIOO reward for proof of the person who poisoned his Great Dane dog.

T. H. Tharp, wife and children, Of' Lnray, Va., are the guests of M. L. Spitler and family, to whom they are related. The temperature has been above the 90 mark every day this week. The disastrous drouth has continued and the outlook for hay, oats and wheat, is most unfavorable.

In respect to the sprinkling of lawns, the advantage of water works is being practically exemplified on Front street. The premises of Delos Thompson, J. H. S. Ellis and Wm. Mossier have been piped from Sayler <fc Collins’ mill well, and they now sprinkle every evening, in great shape. The town of Fowler had a fire a week or two ago, the last of many, nearly or quite as bad, which alone destroyed propei ty equal in value to the cost of a good system of water works, and now the Town Board has taken the preliminary steps looking to the installation of a system. The people of Fowler have learned water works wisdom in the school of dear experience Must knowledgroirthe same subject come to Rensselaer people in the same costly manner; or will they more wisely profit by the experience of others ? Why don’t the business men of the town talk this matter up more?

The pause of - the female screams which rent the air of the west side, as mentioned last week, has been divulged. They came from a respectable young lady who had been unwise enough to be out walking at that late hour with a tough young man, said to be a gambler and a resident of Goodland. His altogether too marked attentions were the cause of the screams. Her screams brought someone to her assistance, and she escaped without much more damage than a bad scare.

People who get their mail at the star route offices of Blackford in llarkley Tp., and Aix in Union, are at last to have a daily mail, thus putting them on'an equality with latrons of the Pleasant Grove and Valma offiqgs. The new arrangement will go into effect July lst» a fter which time the mails will be carried to the above towns every day in the week, except Sundays. ] barker Overton will carry the Aix and Blackford mail. For Pleasant Grove and Valma, Sylvester O’Meara has the sub-contract. Blackford and Aix have heretofore had mails only twice a week. Pleasant Grove and Valma have had daily mails for a year or two The people of Goodland tried to shut off a saloon liscense applicant from their town by remonstrating against him under the piovisions of the Nicholson bill. As the law was not yet in force, of course their petiton was without effect. But when the law does go into effect, the mortality it will cause among objectionable saloonists will be frightful to contemplate. Men who Jwant to remain in the saloon business after that will have to conduct their establishments with the fullest regard for law, order and public opinion.

The June Festival, at the M. E. church last week, by the Epworth League, was not nearly so good a financial success as the excellence of its performances entitled it to be, bat it cleared about S3O, which was not so very bad, considering the many other amusement attractions that have been presented to our people lately; and also considering that “Festivals” of this order are rather a new thing in Rensselaer. It is expected to follow the successful examples of other towns, and make them a regular yearly instiWtion. The closing evening of the festival was a grand concert by home talent. It had a very good attendance and was i a brilliant success in every respect-

AH railroads will be compelled July 1, when tbe law goes into effect, to conform to the inter state oommerce requirement regarding oar couplers. This compels the railroads to provide hand holds or grab irons on the sides and ends of all freight Mrs, and also requires that all cars used shall be of standard height of draw bar. The law makes it an offense for any common carrier to use or haul or permit to be hauled any car on its lines not so equipped, and fixing a penalty of SIOO.

George Stricbfaden’s big Siberian blood hound, or Great Dane pup came tp an untimely end last Saturday night, from some one having poisoned him with paris green. He was a splendid specimen of the dog tribe, and being entirely good natured and harmless, the act of poisoning him was a villianons deed. He was only 11 months old and weighed 146 pounds, and would have been a monster in 3ize had he reached his growth. He was a beautiful' fawn gray in color, and about the handsomest dog ever seen in Renssebwr.

The merchants and other businessand professional men ought to set the rest of the town a good example in their prompt compliance with the new anti-rubbish ordinance of the Town Board. One of the provisions of the ordinance fprbids the burning of rubbish in the streets and alleys of the business portion of the town. That is of blocks 3, 4 and 9. The ordinance in this particular has already been conspiciously violated The Town Board owes it to the interests of our citizens, and to the respect and dignity of the town, to see i ihat ordinances of this character are enforced. , -

N. J. Clodfelter and Chas. A. Meeker, president and secretary respectively, of the Phoenix Construction Co., of Indianapolis, were here last Friday, figuring on the erection of Sigler <fc Thompson’s proposed telephone exchange. They are constructors for the Phoenix National Telephone Co., also of Indianapolis. This last named institution, by the way, has two former Rensselaer residents as prominent officers: J. W. Pans, secretary and R. S. Paris general manager. The company is said to have an excellent telephone, and to be having great success in introducing it

A very estimable business man of Rensselaer, last week settled with a number of business men of Milford, 111., for a number of forged checks that had been passed on them by his son, who lately went there to work for parties in that vicinity. The amount paid was probably not far :’rom SIOO. This is not the first time, by any means, that this young man has got his father into trouble by his misdeeds, and though it may seem a hard thing to say, yet we think fathers who shield their sons, time and again, in such actions, are making a great mistake. A year or two in the penitentiary would do such young fellows more good than anything that could happen to them. There are quite a number of them in Rensselaer and vicinity, whose fathers have kept from penitentiary or reform school, in this manner. And in so doing they not only encouraged the boys in their bad courses; but at the same time have set au an example which is sure to be followed by other young fellows, who saw how easily the others escaped punishment, and what heroes, in a measure', among a certain class, their crimes make of them. But there is nothing heroic in going to the reform school os penitentiary.
