efforts were made to consider the election
contest, but without avail.
HENRY HILGENMEYER, aged IL, and
Ella Wenning, aged 10, of Indianapolis, re.
Gently resolved to die together rather than
be parted. They bought some laudanum
and went to German picnic. Toward
evening they drove to the neighborhood OF
Greenwood, twelve miles distant, spread
the buggy robe in fence corner, sat down
side by side, divided the drug into equal
portions, kissed and bid each other an eter-
nal farewell, swallowed the poison and
went to sleep. Late in the night the girl
awoke, and soon after her lover also was
aroused, both surprised and disappointed to
find that they were alive. They agreed to
wait until morning, when they walked three
miles and purchased another supply OF the
drug. Returning to the robe in thewoods, /,
smother eternal farewell was exchanged and
the boy and girl this time swallowed a
double dose. Henry's body was found on
the 22d. Ella went home in. a very forlorn
condition. Her appearance indicated that
she had been througha terrible ordeal and
exposure.

mock, Va, on the 22d, murdered ten-year-

bore the body TO a neighboring cabin, and
saturating the clothing with kerosene oil set
it ON fire. The flames spread, however, and
attracted some neighbors, who saw the half
roasted body of the girl lying on the floor,
and caught the step p-mother as she was
hurrying away. -@ aR e

Texas Asks for Aid.

WASHINGTON, August ia tele-
gram from Governor Roberts, of Tex
as, today, was received at the Treasury
Department, stating the suffering con,
dition of those sick with yellow fever,
aud of 1000 persons in Brownsville
out of employment on account of the
quarantine, and requesting aid. Act
ing Secretary French replied that the
Department would take charge of the
hospitals and quarantine at suitable
places, if the Governor desired it, but
that the State of Texas must support
all persons not in hospital. If the
Governor accedes to this view, the
Surgeon of the Marine Hos
pital service will at once muster into
serviceand pay guards at proper points
to prevent egress from Brownsville,
and will, through one of his surgeons,
take charge of all hospital arrange
ments. Surgeon-General Hamilton
has already made arrangements by
which hospital tents have been sent to
Memphis, and instructions have been
given to the surgeon of the service
there to proceed at once on receiving
orders to Brownsville and take charge
of the yellow fever patients.
