Extraordinary Discovery

The following item of local interest was
suppressed over week ago at the request Of
party interested in the recovery of his prop
erty, who was of an opinion that its publica-
ton would warn the thief of the discovery of
the watch and prevent his arrest. We COM
piled with his request, not wishing to impede
Justice, but we are satisfied that the thief
knew all about the matter, and was present
at the search made for further stolen property
at the spot where the watch was found:
This morning the son of Bilhartz was search
ing for eggs under the wooden office of Frank
Beitel's lumber yard, near the International
depot, when in one corner he found watch
chain and locket, wrapped up in an old news
paper. He communicated the discovery to
his father, who examined it and found in it a
portrait of Mr.. Schram; he saw that gentleman
who identified the articles as portion of the
plumber taken from his house during the re-
cent burglary.
Search has been made for further property
without success, and it is supposed that the
property discovered is all that was hidden at
the place indicated.

RHE ROMANTIC WEDDING.
Death of the Bridegroom Remains
shipped Observation-Disclosures of the
Bride and BridegrO"m-The
story of their Love.

~to'y u tnoIF LOVes
Mr.. c. H. Burke, of Chicago, whose ro-
mantle marriage at Hords hotel we chronicled
yesterday, died this morning at three O'Clock in
the arms of his devoted wife.
His remains were shipped to Chicago this
morning, and the bride and her father, the
Rev. J. N. Pierce, went on the same train.
We have gathered further particulars of this
affair, which makes it, if possible, more of a
romantic character. The deceased was pro-
fessor of Greek in an Indiana college, and the
bride, formerly Miss Ida NJ. Pierce, was pro-
fessor of latin in the same college, and has
the reputation of being an accomplished
scholar. Au acquaintance sprang up between
them, and Mr.. Burke proposed and was re-
jected.
He continued his attentions and was event
ually accepted. Then her reverend father OPP
posed her marriage as being prejudicial to her
interest in acquiring collegiate distinction. A
secret marriage was arranged to take place in
this city, but owing to detention of letters this
was frustrated. When it became apparent
the deceased would die, DR.. Davis telegraphed
the fact to her. She Immediately answered :
COURAGE, LOVE, l AM COMING"
and although her friends tried to 3ssaude her
she came, her father accompanying her to
the city. When the lovers wished to be mar
ried the father still opposed it, but ultimately
he was persuaded to consent, and they were
married as stated in Yesterdays issue.
The bride was in the 2Ist year of her age,
the deceased was only 70 years old. and both
were deservedly respected in The college.
The Hotel Question.
The hotel question continues to be one of
great interest to our city. The recent gather
ing of Odd Fellows proved that our hotels
were inadequate to the wants of the city, and
in the course of a month or two we will have
the Turner'S.
We have calculated the capacity of our four
leading hotels, the Menger, Hord, Vance and
Central, and find that it is less than 500.
This number of guests is easily accommo-
dated in single hotel in our northern cities.
In fact, put all our hotels together, and they
fail to reach the capacity of one first-class
northern hotel.
We find the Menger, under its present
management, greatly improved, and, although
its capacity is but 100 guests, it can be con-
! sidered one Of the best hotels in the state
Our hotels ust about accommodate
the commercial travelling public, and
that is about all. 1t is not unusual for tray
elers to spend night sitting up in our hotel
parlors awaiting the departure of transient
guests in order to get room.
The old headquarters building is also to be
turned into hotel, but it will be very limited
| in its accommodation.
There remains an open field for big first
class hotel.
