Rev. Frost Craft Interviewed Relative to Mr. Sbuler and Miss

rMcKeen.

Mr. Shuler Proves to Be Worthy of His Bride.—Sketch of the FamHies.

The above head lines are placed over the following artiole in the Evansville Journal:'

A Journal reporter called* upon Rev. Frost Craft, at his residence on Jeffeiv son avenue, yesterday afternoon and learned some interesting facts regarding the Shuler-McKeen elopment. An account of the elopement and marriage was published in yesterday's issue of the Journal, and the main points of the article are still fresh in the minds of the reading public. The contracting parties were Mr. Valentine L. Shuler and Miss Annie S. McKeen.

To the reporter Mr. Craft stated: "I have but little to say on the subject. I united them in marriage, and that is all I know." "I, understand that Mr. Shuler is your brother-in-law—your wife's broth-

'.'Yes, sir for that reason, and the faot that I am a minister, I presume is why they came to our residence.'', ''Did you expect them?" "Not until the evening before, when I received a letter from Mr. Shuler stating that they were coming down to be married the next morning. They arrived in the city in the morning, and stopped at Artes' where a ring was purchased before coming to our residence. They were determined to be wedded, and had I refused to perform the ceremony they certainly would have gone elsewhere, and I saw that resistance was useless. After their marriage thev went on the evening train to Chicago.' "Please give me a brief sketch of the participants," asked the reporter.

Mr. Shuler. is a very handsome gentleman of about 33 years of age he is the son of Col. Lawrence Shuler, who was wounded in the war, from the effects of which he never thoroughly recovered—in fact it was that around whioh caused him to be stricken with paralysis some years ago when he was warden of the Southern. Indiana penitentiary." "Did this occur when the Democrats were making an investigation?" "Yes, sir and Col. Shuler is now a resident of Indianapolis and his family is highly regarded in that city. His son, whom we are speaking, is a bright, en ergetic and moral young man and he will prove worthy of the young lady whom he has chosen as a helpmate. Unlike most men in his line of business he abstains wholly from the use of intoxicating beverages." "A report is in circulation that he is employed by McKeen as a family coachman is that true?" "No, sir he has talent and ambition and would not confine himself to so common a position. He was employed by Mr. McKeen, but in another capacity he had control of the fine horses belong ing to that gentleman—that is, he is a manager and makes arrangements to enter his horses in races at different faira. He afterwards travels around, buys thoroughbred horses, trains and sells them to wealthy men. He usually has five mfen under him, and in his business he has been very successful." "Are not Mr. Shuler and his bride cousins?" "Yes, sir, the young lady's mother was a cousin of Col. Shuler. Mr. Shuler's wife is a young lady possessing many fine qualities she has enjoyed all the education and accomplishments that wealth and affection can give she is a good, sensible young woman and a general favorite." "Why did they leave home to mary?" "Opposition and probably frorr^othe causes." "But Mr. McKeen is reported as' being one of the best-hearted men in Indiana. He began life as a poor man and Col. Shuler's family rank high." "So he is ah excellent man, but the' public of course is not supposed to know all these little points," he answered. "I have no doubt that tho match will prove a happy one) ad- both are very devoted to each other."

And thus the interview closed."

..... ,An Interview at Chicago. The Chicago Times prints thefol lowing interview with Valentine Shuler

Local interest attaches from the fact that Mr. and Mrs. Shuler arrived in this city yesterday, and are now stopping at the Sherman House. The Indiana papers have sought to make a great sensation out of the affair, but sifted down there is very little romanoe in it Mrs. Shuler is a plainly-dressed, comely young woman of, twenty-five or more. She is entirely self-possessed and looks upon the whole thing as a matter of course. Her husband is an ordinary looking young man with good common horse sense and a business-like air that is refreshing. He courteously answered the summons lo a card sent up by reporter of the Times. "I do not see why there should be so much fuss about this affair," said "We were simply married, and I came hereabout my business. As for my family, I guess I can show as good record as McKeen. My father is Col. IT" ?f Indianapolis, and everybody knows him. McKeen married for his second wife a second cousin of my father, and she was my wife's mother, so it makes Mrs. Shuler and I a sort oi fourth cousins. I am employed here by B. T. Baford, of Danville, Ind., who has several horses out to the Driving Park. But I guess there is nothing more to say. We are married, and there is no harm done." "I have known that young fellow for along timo," said Mr. Buford, who sat in another part of the office at the Sherman House, "and a likely young fellow he is, too. All the horsemen know him around hera Why, you remember he was the fellow who drove Adelaide out to the park here, three years ago, when

but I can't see as there was any runaway business anyhow. The girl, too,! seems like a nice, sensible woman. The young fellow's kind of nervous like. I guess they all are at first He is well connected. His family is one of the cest in Indiana. His father used to have a lot of mone, Pbeiieve,b«it luoL it all somehow or other. Atone time he was Superintendent of tho Indiana Penitentiary.

Mr. and Mrs. Shuler will be in the city for some time, and may reside her permanently."

THE NEW YOBK HERALD

contains a special on the elopement sent from Indianapolis, which contains nothing new except the following fling at Mr. Shuler headed "BEAUTY AND THE BEAST." ,, "The lady is about twenty-five years old, highly educated, rather attractive in appearance and possesses all the accomplishments of refined society. Her hand has been sought by a number of society young men and it was thought she was about to be married to a popular young, lawyer. Shuler is thirty years old, knows nothing but how to take care of horses and is an ungainly looking fellow. What there is about him that could have attracted Miss McKeen is a mystery."

The following is from last night's Chicago News. It will be seen that Mr. Shuler's name is spelled Tony instead of Tiny: Tony Shuler, the horsetrainer, who made a tremendous sensation at Terre Haute, Ind., yesterday by elopiag with Miss Anna McKeen, the daughter of his employer, W. R. McKeen, president of the Vandalia railroad, a man of great wealth and the possessor of considerable fast trotting stock, arrived in Chicago at 7 o'clock today by the Chicago & Eastern Illinois road. The couple boarded the train at Evansville, Ind., last night and recognized by the conductor, who had carried them thither from Terre Haute while they were in search of a preacher to marry them. They took a section in the sleeper and did not appear again until the train was entering Chicago this morning. The conductor had informed the brakeman who they were and the brakeman had told the porter. From the

the news spread through the train that the eloping couple were on board, and the result was that when they appeared they found themselves the center of attraction, and Tony grew very restless as the passengers continued to stare at his bride and himself and converse in whispers accompanied by smiles. Pretty soon a checkman, who had been informed who the couple were, approached them. "Do you wish your baggage transferred?" he asked. "If I do 1 can attend to it myself," retorted Tony." "I thought you had all you could attend to now," the checkman is reported to have said, but Tony only scowled.

When the train stopped at Dearborn station the couple descended from the car, the young husband being very attentive, notwithstanding half a hundred pair of eyes were watching them. He stood this ordeal without wincinar and passed out. Tony wore a $1.50 duster and was not as bad looking as the dispatches from Terre Haute would warrant one in thinking be would be. The bride wore a neat traveling suit. She is about 25 years of age, rather modest in hier demeanor, but not strikingly handsome. As the couple were passing through the gates a policeman who had met Tony at the races greeted him pleasantly. The husband refrained from returning the salutation, and, ignoring the appeals of thehackmen, disappeared with his bride among the persons on the street.

The hostelry at which Shuler and his bride put up could not be discovered by means o{ any bold signature upon the register. People in the city who know him and are acquainted with the young lady in the case deny that he is a hostler. They also say tho young lady has always given evidence of possessing fair to middling judgment. The newly married couple are second cousins. Shuler is a son of Col. Lawrence Shuler, ex-warden of the Indiana penitentiary at Jefferfionville. He is a horse-jockey, apart owner in several trotters, and on account of his knowledge of horses and good horsemanship hadthe supervision of McKeen's stables. The relationship between Shuler and Miss McKeen had brought them much together, and the sudden marriage and wedding-trip to Chicago was the result.

Returned With the Horses.

Mr. Phil Campbell returned from Chicago today with two trotters belonging to Prest McKeen and two the property of Mr. W. P. I jams, which hive been under the charge of Valentine Shuler. wi r*|4 .Nevins Township Reports

have been received from Pine Orchard and it is presumed that Capt. Hager is still alive.

.»«- A Sketch. Capt. Hager was the second of three brothers born in Hagerstown, Md. He is younger than his brother Jacob who died some years ago, and older by three years than his brother Luther whose recent death from paralysis, is fresh in every one's mind.

He was born in 1822 in the same village of his father's nativity, thirty-five years earlier. In 1835 the family er grated to Indiana and settled in Terre Haute. When he was 18 years of age, Mr. Hager went to West Point Academy and was a classmate, of General Hancook, General Hatch, General Pleasonton and General S. B. Buokner of th& Confederacy. He remained at West Point but two years and, returning to Terre Haute, engaged in various enterprises. His brother Jacob had established an insurance business and having his attention called to other enterprises called in Jonathan. He also served in clerical capacity under his brother and CoL Floyd who had a river improvement contract and afterward was engaged in the government navy yard at Memphis.

In 1861 when war was declared he raised a company in the Fourteenth Indiana Volunteers but before reaching the field was transferred with the com mission of Captain to the Fourteenth Regular Infantry. He, participated ii three of the battles of the seven days be fore Richmond and was in McClellan's famous "change of base." He was also actively engaged at Chancellprsville and Gettysburg and in several battles of less importance. The gallant behavior ©f his regiment is recorded in the papers in the War Department. After .Lee evaeuated Richmond, Captain Hager was made Provost Marshal of that place and after the war, in November 1865, his regiment was sent west to California via the Isthmus of Panama to posts in Arizona and the northwest He re mained in the/egulararmy until August 1866, when he' resigned his commission and came overland home with his wife and daughter. This was before the building of the Pacific railways and the journey required three months. He was for a time after his return engaged in conducting a woolen mill at Litchfield, Dl. and in 1867 formed a partnership with Mr. Seath in the foundry business which was afterwards enlarged to the Terre Haute Car Works in which he has achieved considerable monetary prosperity. Capt. Hager is a valuable citizen. He has never shrank from any duty devolving on a public- spirited man. His career for two terms in the city council showed how mindful he is of the public welfare. When in health he is socially a prince of good fellows, his ready humor having enlivened many a social assemblage..

As a Mason he has taken high rank, having filled the chair of Eminent Commander of the T. H. Commandery.

With what affectionate regard he is held by the Hager Veterans and the G. A. R. all are familiar.

Though his death may be amiounced at any hour all unite in the hope that he may yet be spared to further useful-

li.

Hager was taken to Pine Orchard, Connecticut, by his daughter, Miss Minnie, in the hope that the change would benefit him. He was so feeble then that he could scarcely walk and on the 19th inst., he had another stroke of paralysis from which he has not recovered The following dispatch from his daughter, Miss Minnie Hager' though not unexpected, will be read with sincere sorrow by his many friends in this city. Blanford is the nearest station to Pine Orchard:

Down to Work

The Chicago Herald says: "During the morning Mr. and Mrs. Shuler and Mr. Burford went out to the Driving Park, and Shuler at once went to work in the most mechanical maimer to give Princeton a trial, while the wife, looking very charming in a gray dress and becoming hat, watched matters from the judges' stand. Business being ended, the party returned to the city. "On being seen yesterday Shuler, who is a very well spoken young man, took things in a quiet way. He said that he and his wife bad known one another for years, and that, as the father objected to the match, they thought they were old enough to know their own minds, and so got married. He did not kuow whether Mr. McKeen would forgive them, but he intends to go about his business and make money. He and his wife were going to stay in Chicago till after the trotting meetings."

Apaches on the Mexican Border Stir up Things.

TOMBSTONE, Aug. 25.—Sixty Apaches made a raid on Friday last on ranches near San Pedro, Mexico, forty miles south of this city. They carried off a number of horses. The raid was witnessed by a squad of Mexican soldiers, bjit no interference was attempted. A report reached here today that San Bernardino ranche, famous in connection with Indian hostilities, has been abandoned owing to the bold depredations of the hostiles. A party of armed citizens left here for the Mexican border to aid in driving the Indians from the United States soil.

The Limited to, Come Off.

On September 1st the limited trains on the Vandalia and I. & St. L., put on in March, will lie withdrawn. The Vandalia made the move first and the trains were so popular that the Bee Line was forced to follow suit: The trains have always done good business but have drawn their patronage from the other regular through trains so that the net gun was not perceptible. The trains caused rivalry, ill feeling and demoralized rates as the Vandalia 'which is the short line refused to grant a differential of $1 at St. Louis on New York tickets to offset this advantage. Finally as a compromise the proposition was made to take off limiteds. The time of the regular through trains will, however, be shortened up three hours.

A Remarkable Verdict.

John H. Lunan sued John S. Miller yesterday on a note for $3441 in Justice Steinmehl's court. The jury returned a verdict for the defendant in the sum. of $47.59. The way this remarkable verdict came about was by A. B. Felsenthal, attorney for defendant, showing' that there was usury—a charge of 15 per cent, instead of 6. The jury, after deducting the amount of the claim ia favor of Lunan, gave Miller a verdict for the difference. ,,

The defendant, who lives several hundred miles from here, but is a constant reader of the GAZETTE, saw the notice and made immediate efforts to settle it, thus saving considerable costs to himself and satisfying the plaiutiff.
