A Mother Killed by Grief.

THE indianapolis Sentinel gives the follow
ing account of an incident which recently oc-
CURED in Charlottesville, Ind; "The depot
had been broken into that noon, and some
money and a quantity Of tickets stolen from
the office, and things generally upset, by a
party of boys. Warrants were issued, and
among them one for boy named Mike Nc
Neal. About midnight the McNeal family
were called upon by the officer Of the law and
informed that the boy Mike was wanted, at
the same time reading the warrant. Mrs. Nc
Neal was astounded, and said there must be a
mistake. None Of her boys would be guilty
of theft, she knew, and it was all a mistake,
Her feelings overcame her and she tainted.
The officer, however, bearing the warrant had
no other course to pursue but to demand the
boy. The mother again tainted, and, when
she was restored to consciousness, the officers
agreed to let the boy remain until they had
seen the party by whom the warrant had been
sworn out. If Nike proved to be the one,
they would return to the house, II not, he
would Of course not be arrested. The officer
found, however, that except in name Mike
was not the boy. The real culprit was Mike
McNeal, cousin OF the former. The officers re-
turned to gladden., as they supposed, the moth
er's heart by telling her the boy was innocent.
To their horror they reached the house and
found Mrs. McNeal dead. The shock and grief
combined had been so great as to kill her. The
affair caused considerable excitement in
town"

conversation, IL looked ON without conviction,
without appreciation, without feeling.
In about thirty minutes the procession
moved on. -Four saloons we're visited end to
but one was 1t given admission. This one was
a German saloon, whose owner shook hands
with all the ladies as they entered, and then
considerably slammed the door in the face of
the rabble, which thereafter amused itself by
banging the windows and rafting the latch.
Intellectual attempts were made by prayers
and earnest personal solicitations to induce
the proprietor Of this saloon to abandon the
traffic, after which the ladies returned to the
church, where there were few fervent pray
ers, few hymns earnestly given and then an
adjournment.
