Prohibition in Maine does not pro-

There is curious story in connection
with the marriage of Theodore Tilton's s
daughter to young Pelton, whom the
dispatches recently reported to be in
an insane asylum in Europe. Her hus-
bands parents were wealthy Louisiana
sugar planters, who spent large part
OF every year in Europe, for the pur-
pose Of educating their children. At
their deaths-which occurred within q
short period Of each other-their
daughter and two sons were abroad and
renaided there, the daughter studying
music, at one time among the pupils Of
Liszt, and the two sons at school. The
younger son, Willie. was betrothed to a
young lady in New Orleans. and at the
completion of his university term re-
turned to America to marry her.
On the Cunarder i'm which he took
passage was Tilton's younger daughter
and they made such progress during the
voyage that on landing In New York
they were Immediately married, roturn-
ed on the next steamer, leaving letter
for the girl he had Tilted, which did not
reach her until they were again at sea.
His family, as well as the friends of tho
girl he had thrown over, were infuriated
at the news, and his eldest brother,
John, came immediately to America to
apologize and do all in his power to
atone for the dishonorable conduct Of his
brother, Willie, who was only twenty
one years of age.
The elder brother begged for an in
terview with the outraged girl on his
arrival in New Orleans, and after SEE
ing her was still more astonished at his
brothers oerfidy, as she was extremely
pretty, rich and charming. Other iu-
followed, and in less than sir
months he pleaded to. fill the place his
brother was to have held, and they
were married. In the mean time the
younger brother was leading rather a
life in Europe, plunging into
excesses and exhausting his delicate
constitution by a gay life until tho
weakness manifested itself, which land
ed him at last in lunatic asylum.

William Hice, living about twelve
miles from this place, while in town
Thursday afternoon, met with a sad ac-
cident which resulted in his death. II
seems he stopped in front of Manuel
Comes livery stable with his team, and
while attending to climb down from
the wagon, he stepped on the hub of the
wheel, which had become very slippery
by reason of the slight rain that was
falling, and losing his foot hold, he was
thrown violently to the ground, striking
upon his head and breaking his neck.
He was carried in to Manuel's Office,
where all possible aid was administered
to restore him to consciousness, but
without avail; his life was far past re-
covery. Mr.. Hice has been q resident
Of this country for IS or 20 years, and
is known by most everybody around.
1t was indeed sad blow, as he was
liked and respected by all who knew
him, and he will be missed very much
among bis friends, of whom he had
great many. He leaves a wife and five
,hildren to mourn his loss, The funer-
Il took place at the residence of W. c.
Reynolds, when the remains were con-
'eyed to the old Daniels place about 12
niles from here for burial.
