Shelbyville, Ind., Jan. 3.—Miss June Marker, who has lived near this city all her life, and tier father, a prosperous resident of Colorado, have Juet been reunited after a reparation of thirty-one years, during most of which time eaoh ihas believed the other dead. The knowledge that neither was dead and their consequent meeting, which followed soon after they learned the facts, was obtained through the application of Miss Marker for the pension to which she believed bar father was entitled.

The story of the separation of the family la Mother of the many tragedies of the civil war. At the breaking out of hostilities John Martoar was living on a Kentucky farm with his parents. Both he and his father were strong unionists, and their position ^^regarding the rebellion was the cause of &^'«stranglng their family and that of their neighbor and friend, James Newcomb, whose daughter Susie, who Was thebsile of ag^that region, had promised John Marker that

N»he

would be his bride. But if the war interrupted the friendly relations of the families it did not stop the i-iiCourse of love and the young couple continued to build those impossible air castles which only lovers construct. The bitter feeling between the heads of the families, jss^liowever, grew so intense ihat Mr. Newcomb finally forbade his daughter longer rj"i\o receive visits from young Marker and jf-jrtiold her she could never be his wife with pIMiis consent, adding by way of emphasis f^that if she disobeyed him he would disin.Aiherlt her.

Like the dutiful girl she was, Susie obeyed ifetter father—for a time. Mr. Newcomb at \,.iflrst kept a close watch on the lovers to see that they did not'visit each other clandestinely, but never having seen or heard anything that would lead him to believe they |s£were still meeting he relaxed his vigilance, f$§jas is common with most fathers in such s.* joaBes. Love, however, is not so easily killed ijlHstias James Newoomb and other old fathers ieem to suppose. As soon as the girl's fath_er relaxed his vigilance cupld began his $•_'pranks again.

Lovcri Renew Their

Having broken off the undesirable match, li fi Mr. Newcomb felt that his continued prescience at the farm was no longer necessary sfknd (he frequently took trips to town to ob-

Jtaln the latest news of the war, often staying at such timeB half a day. These visits gave John Marker his opportunity, and he s-'was not slow in taking advantage of it. -There was another obstacle to overcome, «however, before his meetings with Susie iicould be held without fear of discovery— -namely, the presence at the house of Susie's mother. It would never do to let her know that the young lovers had found a way of ^seeing each other.

Love removed the obstacle, as it always "'fli does. On the farm of the Newcombs was slave named Nelson Grimes, who' would -'-wade through a river of fire for Susie. .^Grimes' height and weight were about the

Tsame as Marker's, so the latter, whenever he had a chance to meet Susie, would re•Vpair to the field, exchange clothes with the f., negro, black his face and then go and visit & ^j&.^his sweetheart. With this disguise there no danger of detection, for if any of y^the family should see the two together noth^yfing would be thought of it, as the slave was

Vafentlrely trustworthy. Thus matters ran V^along for a long time, the lovers finding a way to see each other nearly every day. ws?'1- Everything must end, however, and these |^*K /, 'meetings were very suddenly interrupted H' one day by the surrender of the stern old ^'father. Mr. Newcomb had made one of his periodical trips to town, intending to stay ''most of the day. After having transacted .V*' his business, though, Mr. Newcomb concluded to return homo, as he was not feeling -well. Of course as soon as he had disapfej^cared the lovers were in each other's arms plighting anew their affections and giving 'Ho thought of what was in store for them,

The father on his return inquired as to the whereabouts of Nelson, the slave. Mrs. J0 'Nelson was unable to enlighten him, but suggested that he might be in the orchard or at the springhouse. Thither went the farmer in quest of Nelson, desiring him to

1

unhitch his horse. As he drew near the springhouso he heard voices. Supposing that

S Susie and the negro were talking, he coneluded to do a little eavesdropping and then plague the girl by repeating the conversatton. The eavesdropper's fate was his—he heard something he did not like. Among .5 the first words were these: "Do I lovo you? Tou know I do," said '"Susie. "What kind of talk is tha'c?" gasped the

Y^fold man. "Can it be that the children saw ^me coming and determined to play a joke «on me?" ~V. Then came the reply to Susie: "Susie I cannot doubt your love for the %£man whose wife you have promised to be, but why wait longer? Let us hasten to wed and flee to the North, where we can live happily."

Mr. Newcomb held his peace, though growing more excited with every word, until Susie had delivered herself of the followV' lng: "Yes, John, it is true I have promised to v.-.. become your wife, because I love you, but haw can I do as you ask and leave my dear ,* old father and mother and the home I love .so dearly?"

I'fither Capitulates,

t* The last sentence brought James Newcomb out of the trance in which he had ^v been and convinced him that love will have

its way despite all barriers. And he surrendered then and there. Stepping into the •pringhouse, he approached the lovers with a smile and, taking them by the hand, said: "I have been listening to tho conversation between you, and I want to say that girl who makes such a speech as the one "I have just heard is entitled to marry whom she pleases. Now, John," he continued, '•you come with me and wash your face, while Susie hunts up Nelson so yau can exchange clothes wittnilm, and in the meantime Mrs. Newcomb and myself will fix the date for -the wedding."

The result was that within an hour all arrangements for the marriage of John and Susie were made and just two weeks from that day Miss Susie Newcamb became the wife of John Marker and their marriage remoulted in reuniting tho friendship of the

Newcomb and Marker families. Three months after her wedding Susie witnessed the burial of her father, which was soon 'followed by that of her mother. The estate 'h' was insolvent, the farm, etc., was sold under the hammer and the young wife longed to ft'." get away from the scenes of her youth. The

couple came to Indiana, where John was induced to enlist in the rebellion. Soon after his departure a little daughter was bot'n y4.- unto tihem. The child was chrisotned June, after a schoolmate of the mother. The fath,s er and mother corrdsponded only a few months after he went Into the war, as John was made a Llbby prisoner, and such favors were refused him. The wife, believing her husband dead, wasted away and died.

The babe was adopted by the family of Obadlah Neil, who lived near this city, and (-when tho father Murned home in 1S65, and found fee oonditlon of things he bade his llll

Shortly after making the application the department wrote her agent that a veteran answering her father's description in every particular living in Colorado. Miss Marker wrote a letter of inquiry, and her father in answering stated he had read in a newspaper that she had been killed in a runaway accident and that he had mourned her as dead. He had accumulated a fortune in the far West ajid asked his daughter to make her home with him. Miss Marker informed her parent that she would only be too glad to do so, and so he came here, and in a^ew days the father and daughter will leave for their distant home.

WINDFALL FOR BOSTON WOMAN.

Left SSfi.OOO By Man Who Boarded With Her Two Weeks. Boston Mass, Jan 4.—Mrs. Jennie 'McKenney, who keeps a boarding house in this city, has been left $35,000 by a G. A. R. veteran. In the big Western delegation that came here six years ago was a mn from Ohio. His naime is withheld by request, bufit is reported he was a retired shoe merchant. He happened to stop at Mrs. McKenney's house and, of course, she did all she could to make bis ^temporary home a pleasant one. Mrs. McKenney evidently made an impression oh him durihg the two weeks he was in her house, though she did hot hear from him after he had returned home. About four weeks ago, however, when household affairs were most pressing, she received a summons to come to a certalh town in Ohio, Where the man before mentioned had lived and only recently died. He was without family, his nearest kin being a third or fourth cousin. It was found that he had considerable wealth, and Mrs. McKenney, the hardworking woman, with whom he had boarded during those eventful two weeks of the Grand Army encampment, was mentioned in the will. "Such great good fortune came so suddenly that it quite startled me," said Mrs. McKenney, "but nevertheless I got ready and started for the West, leaving a friend to manage the house for me." That friend, Mrs. Lena McDougal, has certainly no reason to regret her kindness, for since Mrs. McKenney returned on Christmas eve with a legacy of $35,000 from the estate of her benefactor, she has canceled the mortgage of $400 held on Mrs. Mc Dougal's property.

The claims on the estate have all bfeen settled, said Mrs. McKenney. The legacy left to her is in available money, excepting the residence, which she intends to sell. Mrs. McKenney has "decided to go to Ohio in the near future to live until such time as she can dispose of the property. She will then return to Boston where she intends to invest it in a comfortable home for herself and it is probable that she will continue to take boarders, but With her income from the legacy she will find it less difficult to make both ends meet, for she says keeping a boarding house Is pretty hard work.

GIRL LEADS A BANDIT GANG.

One" a Church Member, a Minneapolis Woman, Now Associate* With Thieves. Minneapolis, Minn., Jan. 4.—Edith May White, the girl who is alleged to be the leader of a gang of thieves, is a fancy amateur bicyclist, and formerly was a member of the Baptist church Her family is very respectable. Evil associations and the love of a man who is a highwayman by profession brought her to her present level. In criminal circles she is known as "Granberries."

It is quite natural that the girl on being arrested should deny that she was the leader of the gang, which consisted of two besides herself. She even denied participating in the "hold ups" though she admitted knowing of thm.

But both the men, confessing separatejy, acknowledged her leadership, not as a shield for themselves but braggishly. They were evidently proud of their own criminal pfowess and talked freely of it, but they were prouder still of her.

According to them "Cranberries" planned several robberies which they executed. In their "hold up" work she acted as a decoy. She would make the acquaintance of a man who seemed to have money and would induce her to walk with him on a certain evening in a retired street. The two men would meet them at an oppointed place and proceed to "hold up" the couple in agood western style at the muzzle of a revolver The gang then met and divided. "Cranberrle's" father is the janitor of the apartments in which they lived. They formerly lived at Duluth. The family has resided in Minneapolis for about a year and a half, and during that time, until within the last six months, the girl has borne a good character among her companions.

Her mother, a woman of quite refinment, is almost heart-broken over these revelations about ber daughter, for so cleverly did the girl carry on her criminal operations, elading, in fact, a double life, that her family and friends never suspectad her. She is a rather pretty girl.

WOMAN MAY DIE FROM FRIGHT.

Serious Outcome of a Prnctital Joke Flayed Jn an Ohio Town.

Delaware, O., Jan. 2.—The idiot who believes in practical jokes has placed a life in jeopardy in this city. Last evening Ambrose Shaller, who, with his wife and two sons, lives in East Delaware, was absent from home, as were his sons, the mother being left alone. Suddenly a loud knock came on the door and then, without waiting for ah answer, a huge figure pushed into the room. He was clad in a hairy robe, had a sheepskin mask ever his head, with horns standing out. Chains-clanked on his wrists and ankles and bells jangled all about him. Altogether he looked lige a mediaeval picture of the devil.

In guttural tones this hideous caller demanded of Mrs.^ Shaller that she furnish him one of heir boys for him to eat. The woman fell on the floor In a dead faint. A little later her husband returned and, finding her, called a physician. All night thfey worked with her and each hour threatened to be her last, and, although the immediate dangeri is nearly past, the physician fears yetthat the terrible fright may prove fatal*.

Some persons believe that It was an insane person who appeared to the woman, but as no further trace can be found than that several people saw the frightful- creature that night, most people think it was the cruel trick of a practical Joker. 1

The trial of the alleged assaSlna was continued on December 21 before the military tribunal, and, Bare the Sensational speech of Mme. Stambuloff, nothing was developed rtf an important character until the sentences were pronounced. The evidence, which was read guilty in every line had all been in before October 18, and the adjournment of the. case then is construed as a scheme by the government in order that they might gain time in Which to come to a perfect understanding with the prisoners, so tha't no disagreeable revelations might be made when, the sentences should be prononuced^

There was absolutely no doubt that the three men—Flufeotchieff, Atzott and Gueorghieff—were directly guilty of the murder, and it was not the purpose of the court to go further and find who were behind them. The acte d'accusation bad been fully proven with overwhelming evidence. This will be seen from the following, which is a summary of the acte, and the trial prior to October 13, for the most part taken from the official reports |v of the case:

On the evening of July 15, 1895, at 7 o'clock, Stefan Stambuloff and Dimitri Petcoff, a former minister, left the Union club and got into a carriage driven by Mie? tcho Atzoff, which was to convey them to the residence of the ex-prime minister. Gountcho Theodore Stam'buloff's footman mounted the box with the coachman. When the carriage reached Raconska street upon which almost side by side, the homes of Stambuloff and the perfecture of police, a revolver shot was heard upon which the coachman at once reined in his horses

Atzoff, the coachman, was the first p^o^i. arrested. His apprehension was quickly fallowed by that of others, Vaoum Flufectchlsff, Michael Shtravreff, Bohi Gueorghie and Athanas Zoefanoff, and after a year of procedure charges were formally drawn up against Flufectchiefl and GueorgbiTff, charging them with actual murder, and A6" zoff, the coachman, as an accomplice.

Nor had Stambuloff been Ignorant that his life was menaced, and by the advice of his friends he was on the point of leaving Sofia when the blow was struck. On the anniversary of th6 death of Major Panitza, Stambuloff had received a threatening letter, signed "Boni Gueorghieff." Several witnesses "testified that the .dead ex-premlsr had indicated Flufectchieff and Gueorghieff as plotting against his life, and that he believed Flufectchieff to have been one of the assassins of Beltcheff. A deposition to this effect, which also Included the charge of complicity against the coachman, had been made by the victim the day before his death. This had been placed in the hands of Mr. De Mach, the correspondent of several foreign papers. The Court would not admit the document as evidence.

Other witnesses testified that they had heard Flufectchieff and Gueorghieff publicly declare that before going to Macedonia they would "exterminate that tyrant,Stambuloff."

It was also proved that the murderers, ln order to facilitate their crime, had h^red chambers in the neighborhood of the Stambuloff residence, so that they couldf watch every movement made by their intended vlc": tim..

As to Atzoff, the coachman, he had offered his services to the ex-premier the day before the murder and had been sent away. During the afternoon of Jiily 15th Atzoft dn the box of his carriage, drove up and dswft before the Union Clitb. A witness testified that he had tried to engage the carriage, bift Atzoff told him that he had already bc®j hired. A few moments later, when Stambuloff and Petcoff wished to go, a servant of the club was sent to find a carriage. Atzof^s was the only one in sight, so he engaged that.

Still other witnesses deposed that on tlfe moment that Stambuloff and his friend $- tered the carriage two men, who were standing on the opposite sude of the Street, b^atiie very attentive. One said to tha other: "Are you sure?" to which his companion replied: *T am sure.' The men carried small pacer packages.

agers confine their activities to their own special line of business. There are many 4ble men among them, hut they count for little outside otf the railway world. Mr. Ihgalls is one of the few exceptions to this rule. I call to mind only two other conspicuous exceptions—Chauncey Depew, president of the New York Central, and James J. Hill of St. Paul, president of the Great Northern. Mr. DepeW, Mr. Hill and Mr. Ingalls are national politicians a» well as competent railway managers. Mr. Depapr is an orator and a humorist Mr. Hill is a vigorous speaker on practical affairs before public assembles Mr. Ihgalls makes a forcible, logical and convincing speech. Both Mr. Hill and Mr. Ingalls have a distinction that is lacking in Mr. Depew. They are great organizers of railway systems, and great developers of industrial resources. Mr. Depew's llnee run through thickly settled regions dotted: with towns and cities and furnishing an enormous amount of transportation. Mr. Hill took a wilderness and planted civilisation in it. Mr. Ingalls, when he acquired control of the Chesepeake & Ohio, found that he, too, (had practically a wilderness to deal with, though It lay mainly in the oldest state of the Union. He set to work to develop iron, coal and timber resources, to introduce new settlements and to build up new towns. The road had not been profitable under the Huntington ownership, but he soon made it good property.

Ingalls is a big, sturdy man physically. He reminds you of the tower In Tennyson boem Dhat "stood four square, to all the Vinde that blew." His large head rests upon massive shoulders, and he is evidently endowed with big lungs and a first rate digestion. He is of the sanguine type—brown hair, blue eyes and reddish brown whiskers. A great many people lean on him In Cincinnati for advice in all sorts of affairs, and for financial aid in a great variety of public and private enterprises. He is the sort of man who can carry heavy burdens and always walk straight. He came to Cincinnati twenty-five years ago from Boston* where he had a good practice as a young lawyer. His errand to the West was to represent the

He took a special interest in the campaign in West Virginia, and many people credit him with tho Republican victory in that state. He was a member of the Vecent Indianapolis currency conference, and is a member of the executive eommittee which called the monetary convention to meet in that city on January 12th. He has a plan which he means to present to that body for the strengthening of the gold basis of the currency by the gradual retirement of the greenbacks and treasury notes—partly by cancellation and partly by their use as a portion of the bank reserves. He believes in giving national bank facilities to small towns by authorizing city banks to establish branches. He does not favor the plan of a commission to hatch out a new currency scheme. He thinks the Indianapolis convention is going to contain many of the best business brains of the country, and that it should lay down broadly and plainly the main lines of currency reform and appoint a strong committee to go to Washington and urge legislation on these lines.

Mr. Ingalls is active in the social life of Cincinnati, as well as in political and business affairs. He lunches at the old Queen City Club, and never likes to eat alone. He has an excellent faculty for bringing.men worth, knowing together at a big round, table in one of the upper rooms of the club, as I can certify from pleasant experience. He is about 55 years old.

TESTIMONIALS.

Mr. J. H. Moor, 229 West Washington street, Indianapolis, Ind., says: "When I began taking Munyon's Rheumatism Cure I walked with a cane, I was so badly crippled with rheumatism. In three days I was able to throw away my cane and now I am at work every day. Munyon cured me after doctors, had failed."

A. G. Austin, 7, Harper's court, South Bend, Ind., a veteran of the war, who contracted rheumatism while in the army, and is also suffering from the effects of sunstroke, says: "I have used one bottle of Munyon's Rheumatism Cure and have derived more benefit and greater relief from this medicine thah any that I have ever used indeed, one feature is very remarkable my little finger, which has been perfectly stiff, as though it had no joint in it, and always in my way, whlcsh I have not been able to bend for many years, has become supple and pliant, and I can now close it into the palm of the hand in a natural way. I am delighted mith Munyon's medicine."

George Colfoy, corner Market and Hill streets, South Bend, Ind., says: "Munyon's Rheumatism Cure is worth its weight in gold one week ago when I began taking it I could not raise my hand to my head now I am entirely relieved of the pain, having good use of my arms and am at my regular work."

George W. Brewer, 824 North Main street. South Bend, Ind., says: "I have suffered almost constantly with rheumatism* since 1864, my joints are drawn out of shape and I have been very lame for a number of years my sufferings were greater at night, so that I got no sound, refreshing sleep. I began taking Munyon's Rheumatism Cure, and that night I slept soundly and restfully all night, the first for along time. I am still feeling mych improved and I am constantly gaining. My wife has been similarly afflicted, though not so long or so extensively, and she has experienced a like relief from the same remedy." ]Sr. J. D. Aldrich, 189 College avenue, In-

that he is

he so modest, quiet anr unaffected is his bearing. He is refined without being finical, delicate without Effeminacy. Though extremely impressionable and emotional, he behaves like a man of cold nature and keeps under all circumstances a level head. Greek artists, orators, writers, underatooJ the beauty of restraint. This Is a virtue that has become a second nature to the czar. A French officer of his following, thought he was made of Ice. His rare smiles, he said, were pale and chill as polar sunbeams.

I do not share this opinion and one way ®r another I saw a good deal of the czar and czarina. French taste has been spoiled by the assumption by their "chic" peo§? of the inflation, bounce, stagey "panache'* of their public men. Spaniards would have felt the czar's good form. Much of It was induced, of course, by education, but it seemed natural and I thought, aweet as afield flower. It was modesty itself, unalloyed with shyness and one thought the disposition must bo obliging. Impossible to be more affable In an easy, quiet, thoughtful wa.

state that ought to but does not make him quiver all over like & strongly excited thoroughbred horse. Doctors might say from this that he is a "case." He is not. One detects no morbidness. His cool, collected manner excludes the idea that he is morbiii. I should say he has good sense, ability to bend his mind to toil, and cleverness. Tha "mutta" nose gives the face a charming finish, quite unexpected In an autocrat. Tha czar in mind and body takes after the Holsteins, who. since Peter II. and Catherine II. (first cousins), were five times In his genealogy. One sees a touch of this "mutin" nose in the otherwise Greek profile of Cath« erine Paul I. had It in a caricatural degree there is a trace of it in the king of Denmark and its accentuation is one of th charms of his daughter, Marie Feodorovna. The French say it gives him an espiegie expression. A danseuse who figured in th« pavane dfanced before their imperial mojes* ties at Versailles called the czar's nose us petit nez polisson, by which she meant darling, little, saucy nose. Like his nose, tile czar's talk Is piquant. But hs docs npf seek to shine in conversation and lui^irulfu literary effect in speeches. The unifoim oi Hetman of the Cossacks is a dressing gown of soft oloth, open at the sides of the skirt. It concealed, when the czar waa on horseback, tihe smallness of his figure. Carrying his head well and broken from infancy military discipline, he has a soldierly air is tho saddle. We noticed what tiny feet hi had and somebody who often danced witli the dowager czarina said they wore a heritage from her. The czarina dates from IS72, I should not have known her from he! photos. She muBt have sterling qualitie which they do not even bint. The nose like her mother's and eyes and mouth !ifc the prince consort's. The eyes betray standing anxieties and the watchfulness of on« who fears to blunder. They are fine eyes, ol a blue that accords with a complexion fteill to the degree of ruddiness, and a matcbieV head of auburn (not red) balr. She was un der all circumstances affable.
