AN ENOCH ARDEN ROMANCE.
A Husband Long MOurned as Dead Re-
turns to Find His Wife a Widow.

CbeCetdnd opectdt TO Ae30 York Sun, Sd.
Forty-two years ago William Anderson
lived on farm near Barnesville, Belmont
county. In 1912 he was married to Miss
Mary English. They lived happily to-
gether for twelve years, and in that time
eight children were born to them. In
1858 Anderson took the California gold
fever, then raging in the States, and
started on an overland journey to make
his fortune, leaving his wife and children
behind. At first he communicated with
his wife, and sent her money, but as the
years passed by letters ceased to come,
and he was mOurned as dead. During
all these years the wife worked hard to
support the helpless children. They
grew to maturity-fYe daughters and
three sOns-and they all won respectable
positions in society.
Believing her husband dead, Mrs. An
dersOn consented to marry Jesse Fowler,
whose death was announced a few weeks
ago. Before the second marriage, which
occurred about eighteen months ago, she
was wise enough to obtain divorce from
her first husband. One of her sons,
George Anderson, even when a child, be-
iieved that his father was not dead, and
often said that when he became a
man he would go and search for him.
Eight years ago he went to Idaho to better
his fortunes, but also with the hope of
meeting his father. His faith was not
misplaced, for IN March last he found his
father, and they have been living together
ever since.
A few days ago the father and son re-
turned to Ohio. Mr.. Anderson visits his
children near the home of his wife, who is
now in mourning for her second husband,
but he has not entered her house, although
he has conversed with her in the presence
of mutual friends. He is described as a
fine-lOOking man.

President LincOln's Prophetic Dream.

1t is not generally known that President
Lincoln once dreamed that ne would be
assaSsinated. While he was not a pro-
fessOr Of religion, nor even fixed in his
belief in one particular creed, still he was
fond of reading and discussing the Bible
On Sunday evenings he invariably read a
chapter or two from the Scriptures and
then gave his explanation of it. One
evening at the White House he read seve-
raj passages both from the Old and New
Testaments relating to dreams, to which
Mrs. Lincoln and the children gave great
attention. He began to chat with them on
the subject of dreams, and said he
had been haunted for some days by
dream he had had. OF course, they all
wanted him to tell it, though Mrs. Lin
coin said she didn't believe in dreams in
the least, and was astOnished at him. So
he proceeded to tell it. 'About ten DAYS
ago | retired one night quite late. had
been up waiting for important dispatches
from the front, and could not have been
long in bed when | fell into slumber, for /

length l came to the end room,
which L entered, and there before me

a corpse. Here there were sentries and a

soldiers: who is dead at the White

From that time until his sad death Mr.
Lincoln was haunted by the fear of
assassination, and Mrs. Lincoln's first
words, after Wilkes Booth had shot him,
on April IA, were: "His dream was
prophetic" The remark was not under
stood then, but when the story of his
dream was subsequently told it was ex-
planned.

chant who has made an assignment, and

MONTREAL, Nov. 5.-The consolidated

failure of sixteen firms here in 1878 the
bank lost $1,000, 113. In the returns made
to the directors weekly by the former

less than one-titth of the real amount.

A Simple and Impressive Structure in
WOOdIawn Cemetery.
Noar G,.a,

The Gould mausOleum in WOodlawn
Cemetery is so far on the way to compile
tiOn that on Thursday last the final roof
slab was set in place. Work on the in
terror decoration has been begun. The
structure is impressive by reason of its
simplicity, harmony of design, and mas
siyeness. Its form is that Of an Ionic
temple, raised on a platform three steps
above the level of the sward surrounding
it. The wOrkmen say that the foundation
of the platform is a mass of concrete, that
makes it practically a single stone eight
feet in thickness by thirty-six or
more in length and twenty-eight
in width. The structure is whOlely of
finely hammered Westerly granite, with
out single band or panel or other sur
face that is polished. Thirty graceful
columns, IL feet high by 13 inches in di-
ameter, surround the mausoleum and add
to the support of It's massive roof. Space
for twenty bodies is afforded within. la
the front of the tomb will be bronze
door of Grecian design, pierced so as to
afford a view of the interior. A window,
representing a choir of angels, will occu-
py the space now left in the rear wall. 1t
is understood that the inner walls will be
of delicately shaded marbles, arranged so
as TO present simple and pleasing effects.
No brick or metal is employed in the
construction of the tomb excepting the
bronze doors and the necessary lead in
the window. 1t stands in the centre of a
circular plot of three or four acres on the
highest ground in the cemetery, in Lawn
avenue, near Central avenue, and is sur
rounded only by grass, not single tree
or shrub as yet rising on this ground.

A BRAKEMAN's FIENDIsHNEss.
He Wrecks a Train With Fatal Results
Because He Was Refused a Ride.

ST. ALBANs, VT, Nov. 5.-A train ON
the Missisquoi road, due here at 1925
O'Clock this morning, was thrown from
the track near North EnOsburg by
misplaced switch. The engine was
preciPitated into the river. Engineer
Thomas Flood jumped, and had both legs
broken and his skull fractured. Fireman
Frederick Hammer went down with the
engine and was killed. There is strong
evidence to prove that the switch was
turned on to the gravel track and then
locked by Edward Ellis, brakeman on
the Southeastern road, inreyenge for being
forbidden to ride on the train without a
pass. The tireman's body was found be-
tween the engine and tender. Flood is
not expected to recover. There are per-
sons who say that they saw Ellis hurry
ing through the woods at the time the
train left the track. Men at once went in
pursuit, but at last accounts had not
caught him. No passengers were hurt.

CHARLESTON, Nov. 5.-Toby Grant, a
negro desperate, was killed by Abram
W. Clement, white man, at Rantowles,
on the Charleston and Savannah Railway,

forced his way behind the counter, and
caught Clement by the throat. Clement
threw off his assailant, seized a gun
which was standing near at hand, and
while the negro was rushing on him the
second time, shot him dead. An immense
crowd of negroes gathered about the
store, and threatened to lynch Clement,
but three white men locked the doors of
the store and kept guard all night, the
mob remaining outside. To-day an in
quest was held, and Clement was safely
convened to COlletOn county Jail.

A CREsTFALLEN SENATOR.
How Philadelphia Swell was Snubbed
by a Bishops Daughter.


PhiIadelphia Special to ". Y. World, Noe. s.
There is a story going the rounds of So
clety which has excited a great deal of
comment. The hero is a well-knoWn
arlstocraJlc young man about town
Robert Adams, Jr., State Senator, and IA
miliarly known as ''Bertie, the DueIist." :"
1t seems that during the late session of
the Protestant Episcopal Convention in
this city, a Right Reverend Prelate from
a distant diocese, was staying with his
wife and daughter in the house of an init
mate friend situated not hundred yards
from RittenhOuSe square.
The Bishops daughter is a handsome
and attractive young lady, and one even
ing While the right reverend gentleman
was attending a late session of the con-
Yention the daughter of his hostess sug-
gested that it was not considered out of
the way in Philadelphia for ladies to 90
to the theatre unaccompanied by gentle
men, when an elderly lady was acting as
chaperOne. The Bishops wife thereupon
volunteered to act as escort to her own
daughter and the young lady of the house.
and presently the trio of ladies were seat
ed in comfortable chairs in the Walnut
Street Theatre.
Everything was agreeable until the
play was nearly over, when the Bishops
daughter complained that Il certain man
his evident attempt to attract her atten-
ton.
"Oh, no; you must be mistaken Why,
that's BERTHE Adams, one of the best known
young men in society,"" answered the
young hostess.
Nothing further was said until the ladies
had left the theatre, when the pretty visi-
tor was oficiOusly helped into the car by
her evident admirer. A few moments
LOT h.AI Il
note into her hand, which presumably
tender missive was at once thrown on the
floor of the car. Further undesirable at
tentlOns on the part of the egotistical
masher followed until the ladies alighted,
when he followed them and noted where
they resided.
Naturally furious at the conduct of the
young man, the ladies at once laid the
facts before the Bishop, causing the wor-
thy divine to fairly bubble over with
righteous indignation. The next day he
wrote very fOrcible and emphatic note
to Senator Adams, demanding an ample
apology for what had occurred. Twenty
four hours rolled by, and then a ring at
the bell of the mansion not a hundred
miles from RittenhOuse square was fol-
lowed by card bearing the name of the
culprit, and verbal message was brought
by the fOOtman that the pasteboard was
for ''the ladies'"
$50 down and tell the man that the la
dies have already seen more of him than
they desired,' was the order given to the
servant, and by that functiOnary trans
mitted to the crestfallen gallant.
The same afternoon Senator Adams saw
and apolOgiZed most humbly to the Bishop
for his conduct, but the family and its
distinguished guests will not soon forget
the unpleasant incident or forgive the ag-
OrQSSOr
