An Italian Love Story.

A romantic love story is now going the
rounds of the Italian press. In 1881 young
tiful girl, WHO recprocated his feelings. But
the young man was so absurdly jealous that the
girl concluded the only way to make him more
reasonable would be to break the engagement
and keep him at distance for awhile But
this only increased his passion, and one day
after being again refused he pulled out re-
volver and shot her. The shot was not fatal,
but the girl was i'll for long time. while her
lover was sentenced to twelve years imprison-
ment. Recently the girl has been visiting the
prisoner, and the other day she informed her
parents that she had made up her mind to
marry her lover, notwithstanding all that had
happened, and in prison. The ceremony was
performed without opposition, and petition is
now in circulation to secure pardon for the
young merchant.

by the Mayor. The fine, however, was remit
ted and he was released. Constantine served

Lafayette, has descended in the veterans family
for three generations. 1t was carried as a
standard by Lafayettes troops during the
American Revolution. The old man was so

An Old Esid Poisoned.

Several years ago Miss Ann Freeborn, an
elderly maiden lady, who for long time pre-
viously had kept boarding school at Morris
ania, n. Y, moved to Fox Lake, Wis. She
brought with her $4,000 in cash, which she
deposited in a bank, and she willed her prop
erty, amounting to about $4,000, to near blood
relatives. She had with her a young girl,
whose parentage is ensbrouded in mystery.
Some 20 years ago distinguished looking gen.
tleman came to Miss Freeborn's residence and
left child with her, for whose maintenance
he paid some money in advance. Later on pay
ments ceased, and Miss Freedom began inqui-
ries and discovered the man who had brought
the child, in the person of J. L. Johnson, a
wealthy vessel owner in Buffalo. He had mar
ried and was mortified at being found out.
For Miss Freeborn's silence he had to pay
dearly, and then Miss Freeborn took the waif
away. This girl in later years turned into a
very handsome woman, gifted with high mental
faculties. A few years ago she was married to
+. A. klllops, prominent lawyer In Dodge
County, and soon after persuaded Miss Free
born to change her will and disinherit her rela-
tives. This created ill-feeling, and Mrs. Mary
True, a wealthy widow and Quakeress of Bal
timore, came West to fight her claims. She
and the other dissatisfied members of the fam
lily claimed that Miss Freeborn had been I'M
duly influenced by the waif now Mrs. killOps,
and that at the time of changing the will the
old spinster had been of unsound mind.
Last Thursday Miss Freeborn died suddenly,
and pOstmortem examination revealed the
fact that death was the result Of poisoning. A
second investigation was ordered on the fol-
lowing day, when it was found that the lady
had been opened after the first examination,
the stomach removed and thoroughly cleansed
with sponge. The corpse was then removed
from Mrs. killopss house. In the meantime
suspicion rests on Mrs. Killops, who was the
only one who could gain through the death Of
Miss Freeborn. She is being guarded now at
her house, while the stomach has been sent to
Chicago for analysis. A prominent lady of
Buffalo is mentioned as the mother of Mrs.
Killops

Dr. J. II. Nonamaker and his wife were
found dead in bed on the 5th inst, at SaIida,

agreed to commit suicide together. The even
ing of the 9Th, at II o'clock, was the time
agreed upon to put their resolution into prac-

clock tolled the hour Of midnight each fired,
dying instantly. AS Nonamaker was jealous
and brutal the general belief is that he killed
his wife during jealous fit, wrote the letter,
and then committed suicide
