Omaha daily bee., 1889-10-20

couple learned of each others where
abouts, and correspondence was
opened. The old flame which once
burned IN their hearts was rekindled,
and the other day the old gentleman,
Mr.. Williams. arrived from Indiana.
and hastily preparations were made for
the wedding, which took place in the
NJ. T.. church in Bowie, Rev. Yelton,
the pastor, officiating.
News OF the intended marriage had
leaked out and the church was filled to
overlooking with an eager. eXpectant
crowd At the conclusion of the
regular services Mr.. Williams and his
intended bride. Mrs. Barnes entered
the church, walked to the alter, where
wheresthey were met by the minister
and united in marriage. They are
each over seventy years old, and will
reside in Texas in future, both being
quite wealthy.
Mr.. William Bell for a number Of
years taught school at Atascosa Post
Office, this county, for very meagre
salary, says San Antonio dispatch.
He had labored in America for twenty
years, and was no further ahead than
when he started. Recently he left here
for New York, where he hoped to better
himself. On reaching there he re-
ceived news of the death of his wife in
Scotland. He had married her when Il
youth, and she was lassie on the hills
of Dundee. She was of good family,
and her people were wealthy. They
objected to the match. and after the
marriage made it so unpleasant for the
young people that Bell, in desperation,
resolved TO seek his fortune in new
world. He had not the money to bring
his bride with him, and was unwilling
to subject her TO the privatlons
of hard life. He bade her
goodbye. and she promised to wait
patiently until he was able to return
for her. She went to her parents, and
Bell turned his back upon the land of
his nativity. He was energetic and
economical, and willing to turn his
hand to anything. He tried first one
thing and then another, and failed in
all. Chilled by disappointment, he
drlfted at last to southwestern Texas
and became country pcdagogue. The
old restless desire to be up and doing
overcame him and he went north again.
The news which reached him there
makes him the heir to 100000, which
falls to HIM through his dead wife. The
money came to him but recently
through the death OF her parents, and
she had written to Bell short time be-
fore she died, telling him that they
were rich at last, and bidding him come
home. He got word OF her death and
the largo estate left prior to the recep-
tion of her mlssive. In IA heart-broken
letter to friends here he states that he
expected to sail for Scotland in few
days.
After living with broken neck for
twenty-five days, Caleb b. ToMer died
in Cooper hospital. Camden, yesterday,
says Philadelphia dispatch. BY his
bedside when death came were the
faithful young woman TO whom he was
engaged to be married, Miss Missmer,
and ToMer's sister. The grief OF the
former was heartrending. She had for
two weeks expected her lover to re-
cover. so favorable were his symptoms,
and they both talked hopefully OF their
approaching marriage. During the
time Tozier was at the hospital Miss
MissmeI' was by his bedside almost con-
tinuously. and she was assiduous in
caring for the injured man.
TOzier's case has excited much inter

considered extremely remarkable. The
