Mrs. Marcia Carbee Gwin died at her home on south Seventh Btreet at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon, after a sickness of several weeks.

She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Carbee, of Indianapolis, and a sister of Mr. Will Carbee and Mrs. Reuben Butz, of this city. Her husband, a former resident of New Albany, has for several years been connected with the revenue service here. The deceased leaves an infant child only a few weeks old. Her death will be mourned by a large circle of warm friends.

Danyilles began their characteristic kicking and finally left the grounds in the eighth inning. Until this dub learns to distinguish base ball from prize fighting, they can not hope for diamond laurels or recognition, and aa this will never be, we want nothing more, to do with them.

Tne monotony Jof printer's row and matrimonial circles was varied Tuesday by the elopement of two young lovers, Rufus Simpson, a oomposltor by profession and at the present time an employe of The Mail, and Miss Lulu G. Talbott, of north Center street. The young people had contemplated marriage for several weeks but were handicapped by the young lady's father requesting the county clerk to refuse them license. Although temporarily discouraged, they soon determined to elope, and successfully made their way to Marshall Tuesday. Here they met with a second refusal and completely discouraged, came home only to find the objections removed. With full permission from her, father they secured a license and were1 soon made happy.
