HIS DOmICILE MISSING.
A Bay State Mans House Spirited
Away During His Absence.


CoHAssET, Mass, Feb. 26.-William
DOane, an eccentric individual, claims that
he owns certain parcels of land al Pleasant
Beach. This same land is claimed by
George o. Sears of Boston, and the ques-
ton of title between the two has been
warmly contested. About a year ago
Doane, who has no home took possession of
a number of bath-hOuseS on the land, and,
grouping them together and refitting them,
established a residence, and has occupied
them until within three months. About
them he has collected an indescribable pile
of old junk. rubbish. ETC., until the place
has become disgrace TO the town. About
three months ago Doane was arrested on a
charge of stealing boat, and has been con-
fined in the jail at Plymouth until last
week. On arriving at COhasset after his
release he was surprised to find no signs of
his dOmicile on It's familiar surroundings.
Shortly previous to his release gang of
men and teams had been at work. and had
carted away every vestige Of his settlement
and deposited it in the woods some half
a mile from the beech. Doane started for
Boston to bring suit against Sears to re-
cover the amount Of his loss.

CHICAGO, Feb. 26.-Rather placid than
otherwise was the situation in railroad circles

senger rate war TO ST. Paul The Northwest
ern and ST. Paul roads both adhered TO the
rate OF last night of $11 limited frst-class,
Chicago TO ST. Paul, and $3.50 to Omaha.
Arbitrator Wilson. on the part of the assOcia-
ton roads, decided TO authorize the use OF
$3.50 as basing rate TO outside lines, this
being necessary for the reason that all ticket
agents of connecting roads are allowed by
the ST. Paul and Northwestern TO quote lowest
ruling rates from Chicago TO the Missouri
river on business destined for points West.

Illinois Central do not meet the old rate. still

piercing cry Tor help coming from the room
auJOlhing MS. Mr.. ID. j. Stunkard, night
clerk OF the hotel, was summoned but
found the door fastened. He called to the
occupant to open the door, and a yoman's
voice answered.: Il can't get up: | am DIV.

room, and by bursting in the door got into
the woman's room. Lying across the bed
was woman IN death struggle. A phy-

entered the room the woman gave a loud
cry, threw up her hands and expired.
Those gathered in the room soon found

written IN good hand, and was rather
lengthy. Extracts from it are as follows:

There is also the written request to pub
the letter after she is gone. The woman
applied for board at the St. Charles hotel

about to secure employment at a restaur-
ant. She was 30 years of age and rather
good looking. The chambermaid in the
hotel saw her writing a letter in her room
| at $50 last night, and this no doubt was
the letter explaining the act. She had
taken strychnine. This morning it was
learned that Moran. who is about 35, had
taken out a marriage license to marry
Sarah Riley, and that the ceremony was
performed last night by Rev. Father Nc
Eyoy, pastor of st. Joseph's church. Moran
ON Sunday night took Miss Lowe to the

Special to the GloDe.
CINCINNATI. o., Feb. GA strange
occurrence happened in Newport yesterday,
by which a bridal chamber was turned into
a chamber of death. For some time past
man by the name of James Murray has
been paying his attentions to young lady
named Maggie HutchisOn. Their courtshiD
resulted i'll an engagement, and the happy
event was to have been SSnSummated at tha
residence of the bride on Saratoga street
yesterday afternoon. The groom, accom-
panied by the Rev. Mr.. Lightfoot, WHO was
to be the officiating minister, went to the
county clerks Office and procured mar
riage license for Alr. Murray to marry Miss
HutchisOn. The license was issued and ths
groom eXpectant left the county clerk'G
| Office, and was all smiles. He did not
realize, however, how soon he was to be
disappointed. He and the preacher went
to the house and his affianced met him at
| the door, and they
EMBRACED EACH OTHER
/ and, after a few minutes conversation,
preparations were made for the consumma-
ton OF the nuptialS. The bride was dressed
in her wedding outfit, and when things
were about complete the bride was asked il
| she was ready. She answered Yes" and
at the same time arose from her seat. She
| had no sooner gained her feet than she
gave heavy sigh and fell over a corpse.
| The guests could not realize the situation
for few moments, and for while it was
! thought that she had only tainted, When
the fact of her death was announced the
guests who had assembled to participate in
! the wedding festivities were soon mourning
over the body of the bride expectant Ths
suppositiOn is that she died from heart dis
ease. The county clerk made an order on
the marriage record canceling the license,
owing to the death of the lady named in the
license before the marriage. The groom
| expectant was badly shaken up over the
sudden turn that affairs had taken.
