DEATH AT A BRIDAL.
Young Mrs. Carlow's Marriage Ends
With Her rother's Death,

About s o'clock yesterday morning William
Purcell, the twelve-yearold son of h Purcell,
formerly justice OF the peace near Fort
Omaha, was seen driving several cows to
pasture. Later, tho horse came dashlng
home, dragging the little boy, whose foot
had been caught in the S tirrup, The animal
did not stop until he ma d reached the stable.
The boys brother, Richard, and others dis
covered to their horror on entering the stable
that the little fellow, who at first was
scarcely recognizable, had his neck broken
and his face and body cut to pieces.
DR.. Haskin, the garrison physician, was
summoned, but the unfortunate boy was
dead before he arrived.
Great sympathy is felt for the bereaved
family, because only a few moments before
the child met with his sad fate his sister,
Miss Annie Purcell, accompanied by her
father and mother and intended husband,
drove to the Holy Family church to be ma r.
ried to Mr.. William Carlow, who is a clerk
in A. ID. Mors es shoe store.
When the wedding party returned they
were horror-stricken at the announcement
Of the horrible death of their son and
brother. The brides happiness was
crushed, and the poor mother was heart
broken.
The funeral will take place on Wednesday
next, the remains being inferred in Holy
Sepulchre cemetery.

They Once More Return to His Care

G. Z. Mayne and Charles Corbett have ad-
justed their difficulty in such a way that Mr..
Mayne has been allowed to again take pos
session of his horses, which were taken from
Redick's Saunders street barn Friday night
and placed in the Omaha stables by the
sheriff for keeping.
MIR. Mayne stated to a BEE reporter in the
presence of Corbett's attorney that the at
tachment on the stock was taken out by MIR.
Corbett to protect his mortgage, and
that his action was based on a
rumor that came from the Platte Valley
ranch that he (Mayne) was selling and dis
posing of the stock to avoid the payment Of
this note held by Corbett.
"As soon as l explained the matter to Mr..
Corbett," said Mr.. Mayne, ''he was satisfied
and withdrew all of his proceedings. OF
course, he did not withdraw his mortgage
claim. The note he holds against me must
be paid, of course, and, as soon as | settle
that, the mortgage on the stock will be re-
leased.

settle this note, All | want at the hands of
my creditors is a little time and every debt

left. If they force my stock to a sale of
course it won't sell for what it is worth and
We will all suffer.
81 can't help the papers talking about me
at this time, but it is ridiculous the way one
of them spoke yesterday of my weeping to
Corbett and getting possession Of my stock
by my tears. Mr.. Corbett and had a few
minutes talk and came to a perfect under
standing in our affairs. There were no tears
| shed by any one. You will see that every
thing will be all right yet"
Mr.. Corbett's attorney stated that his
| client and Mr.. Mayne had conn to an agree

and that the note would be paid all right
and Mr.. Corbett would not ask for any 81 900
damages as claimed in his petition for at

stock.

An Electioneering Clerk.

In the Lincoln bureaus dispatch to THE
BEE of yesterday it was stated that Fl. M.
Waring, clerk of the board of transporta-
ton, who receives a salary of 81 500 a year,
had been in his Office but two days in the
past two weeks. Where the young gentle
man was spending his time could not be
stated. If Mr.. Warning spent those two
weeks as he spent last Saturday evening in
Omaha, he was probably canvassing the
state in the interest of G. E. Yost, who
wants to be state treasurer, and, as a conse-
quence, a member of the board Of
transportation, which gives employ
ment to Warning. He arrived here
on the day mentioned, met John Sahler and
taking a cab at the Hotel Barker, lost but
little time in putting himself in communion
ton with the aspiring Yost. A Lincoln man
who recognized him but whom Warning
avoided, asked himself the question whether
the state was paying Warning for electioneer
ing.

During His Illness Mr.. G. s. Mellen
Will Assume Managerial Duties.

While there are favorable symptoms in
the condition of Thomas l.. Kimball, general
manager Of the Union Pacific railway, no
will not, in all probability, be able to resume
work for a number of weeks. Officials of the

pecting and sincerely hoping that he would
recover, but his physicians have prescribed
perfect rest and quiet for some ime to come.
Under these circumstances the following
order was issued yesteru.v; .
OMAHA, August 20, 1SSS.-ActiGE General
Manager Kimball, being temporarily iis
capacitated by illness from performing the
duties of his Office. he has requested that
those duties be performed, until he shall re-
cover his health, by General Purchasing
Agent c. $. Melleu.
Mr.. G. S. Mellen is, therefore,, hereby
designated to perform the duties of assistant
to MIR. Kimball until otherwise ordered. All
papers which would have been addressed to
the acting general manager will be forwarded
to Mr.. Melleu, who will take action accord
ingly with the full power and authority Of
the acting general manager.
(Signed) CHARLES f. ADAMS,
President.
Mr.. Charles S. Mellen came to Omaha last
June TO assume the Office of general purchas-
ing agent OF the Union Pacific. His signal
ability as exhibited in this short time has
fairly won the confidence of his superiors,
and his promotion, as a matter
his success in the subordinate position.
MIR. Mellen is thirty-seven years old and Gu
tered the railway service in 1879, in New
England, where he held confidential and
responsible positions with the Northern New
Hampshire and the Central Vermont rail
roads. For the past eight years, and up to
