rooms in the rear OF the dining room,
the enjoyment ~ which was enhanced
by pleasant conversation and wound
up by toasts iolhe ladies' In general,

The ladies who acted as floor man
ayers had their hands full but acquitted
themselves nobly.

bar was dismantled, and those who
procured spiritual encouragement did
it sub rosa.

wives names were found on husbands

PITTSBURGH, Pa. Feb. 13-The trip of Dr..
David Hostetter, vice-president of the
projected South Penn railroad, to Cali
fornia, in a desperate effort to regain lost
health, is being anxiously watched by
the life insurance companies all over the
country. He is the most heavily insured
man in the United States and his death
would be big financial loss to them The
aggregate of the policies held by Dr.
Hostetter is $S0O,OOO. He had intended
to add 5000 900 more to this to make the
sum 81 900, 600, but his prolonged illness
has prevented any further steps in that
direction. This vast amount OF insurance
is divided among the principal com

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 13-At Marissa, ILL.,, yes
terday, when the family of Mr.. George w.
Guthrie, one of the, wealtbiest
and best-known citizens of Southern ILL
nois, returned from church, a daughter went
to his room, where she found her
father lying dead on the floor, with
bullet wound through the heart
and the carpet and his hing saturated
with blood Suicide was at first suspected,
as MI. Guthrie's revolver lay on the floor
near the body, but an examination showed
that the object was robbery. It is believed
that the murderers saw the family when
they started for church, and, supposing that
the house was deserted, entered and went to
work on the safe with their drills. Mr
Guthrie, it is supposed, heard them and
went into the room with his pistol drawn
and was overpowered and murdered, after
which his pockets were r;fled and the mur-
derers fed The appearance Of the room
shows that there was struggle. But little
