MARRIED A DYING GIRL.
THE BRIDE TAKES A FRESH HOLD
ON LIFE AND is LIKELY
TO RECOVER.

LOUISVILLE, February 16.-lD
1886 Miss BERTHE Gardner came
here TO attend a seminary. Her
home was at Martin, Tenn, where
herr widowed N other, a wealthy
lady, now resides. Among the
many friends whom she visited
here was the family of MI. w. b.
Wilson, wealthy gentleman, re-
siding near Louisville. Mr.. D..
Wesley Wilson, son Of w. b..
Wilson, fell IN love with her, aud
they were engaged to be married,
last October being fixed for the
event. Last summer Miss Gardner
was thrown from a horse, receiving
injuries which the physicians pro-
nOunced fatal. The young lady
was brought to the st. Joseph In'
Urinary here, so that the best
medical attention could be given
her She gradually sank, however,
and two weeks ago her death was
pronounced certain.
Her betrothed was at her bedside
as much as the rules of the infirm-
airy would allow, but when the end
approached he desired to he with
her all the time. Marriage was
the means by which this could be
accomplished, so in the presence OF
their families the true lover was
marred to the seeming dying girl.
Her death was expected within a
few hours, but strange to say, from
the moment the ceremony was per
formed she grew stronger, and the
physicians now have strong hopes
of her recovery.

Too Much Kicking Down Stairs,

From the Cincinnati Commercial (Rep.).
We notice with concern the in.
diligence of a Democratic propensl'
ty to abuse President Cleyeland.-
The Democracy certainly can not
complain that Mr.. Cleveland did
not deal literally with them during
his administration after he knew
enough about the duties TO become
active. lie couldn't do everything
for everybody, bat he used the
scoop.shovel during three years OF
his opportunity in throwing pat
ronage to the Democrats, and put
away the falsity and folly OF Mug
wumpery almost altogether. These
facts should Interpose between Mr.
Cleveland aud the ferocions cruelty
of the defeated Democrats who de
sire to save themselves from the
ignominy OF disaster in increasing
the humiliation of their late leader
and master.

Ohio Gets Bid Of the Negro.

RIPLEY, OHIO, Feb. IA
peculiar state Of affairs is brought
to light among the farming com.
munities in this county, produced
by the now famous Arnett Law.
Formerly the farms had numerous
colOred tenants, but since the pas
sage of the Arnett bill, which
made mixed schools, the colored
tenant farmer gradually is beng
driven out. Whenever his lease
upon the land runs out he is quiet
~ informed by his white landlord
that the latter has another man
for his place, and upon applying 10
other farmers in the same county he
ascertain 10 be refused. In this man.
ner the white farmers gradually,
without violent or harsh means,
remove colOred people from the
community until there is not one
lett in some school districts, and
that the law which was intended TO
benefit does positive injury to the
cOlOred man.

ORRHAGE OF THE LUNGS CUTS
SHORT HIS CAREER.
ROANOKE, VA, Feb. 16.-A tel.
egram received here this morning
from Chester, Pa, the former home
of Senator ID. ii. Houston, con-
veyed the startling information
that he died suddenly at Lancas-
ter, at 3 o'clock today, of hem
orrhage of the lungs. The dlrec.
tors OF the First National bank, OF
the Loan, Trust and Safe Deposit
company and the board Of trade
were Immediately called together,
each appointed a representative to
attend his funeral. They will leave
tomorrow for Chester. The death
of Col. Houston Is the only topic OF
conversation, and business Is al
most entirely suspended.
David Fleming Houston was
born in Chester, Pa, about forty
FIVE years ago and IN bis early
days worked IN the Chester Roll
ing mills of which he afterwards
became secretary and treasurer
He subsequently removed to Phil.
adelphia where he was nominated
to congress by the Republicans
making the race against Hon. Sam
uel j. Randall. beating him. as
claimed by the Philadelphia Times,
by a majority Of 2S8. He was
again nominated while travelling
in Europe, but did not return to
make a canvass. He removed to
this city about seven years ago and
superintendent the erection ofCrOzer
furnace, becoming general manager
OF the Grocer Steel and Iron com
pany. On its completion he was
elected a member of the city cOun-
Gil after acquiring citizenship, but
was defeated for re election on a
local issue. In the fall OF 1887 he was
elected to the state senate over
Nal. VIM. Ellis by majority of
twelve votes. He has been promi-
nent IN everything pertaining to
the advancement of the cIty's inter
est and at the time of his death
was president of the Roanoke and
Southern railroad company, dlrec-
tor OF the FIrt National bank, and
the Roanoke Trust, Loan and Safe
Deposit company; a prominent
member of the board of trade, pres
ident OF the Houston Coal and Coke
company, at Elk Horn, w. Va. ; a
director of the Grocer Coal and Coke
company, and held large iron and
other mineral interests ID South
west Virginia. He was chairman
of the state central committee OF
the anti.Mahone wing of the Re-
publican party. The strain he has
lately been subjected to by the
strike on Elk Horn aud the cree
ton OF a new furnace has told
upon him, and he has been far from
we'll recently. Despite the advice
of his physicians, he has kept stead
lily at work, and has made numer'
GUS trips to Philadelphia and West
Virginia in the last three weeks
He left here " ednesday for Ian
caster to make purchases for the
new furnaces.

FATAL CRASH AT DAWN.
AHARTFORD HOTEL IN RUINS.
AN ENGINE ExPLODES IN A FIVE
STORY BUILDING AND BURIEs
ITS OCCUPANTS.

HARTFORD, CONN.,, Feb. 49,
The boiler IN the Park Central
Hotel in this city blew up with
terrific force at 5 o'clock this morn
ing, totally wrecking the entire
front structure. which was q five
story brick building. The entire
fire department with the police
reserve were summoned.
The ruins Immediately took fire
and the work OF the fremen was
greatly impeded by dense volumes
of smoke and steam which hung
oyer the debris. The loss of lie
ia estimated from 40 to 70, but may
be very much less than the former
figure. The first to arrive on the
scene found the building heap of
ruins, from which issued smoke
and steam in dense clouds, and the
spectators were appalled, by the
shrleks and groans of many hu-
man beings who were imprisoned
IN the mass of timber aud masonry
from which flames we're already
bursting. At first the fire and
smoke entirely prevented any at
tempt to rescue the victims, and
it WAS not until a flood of water
had been poured upon the ruins
that the work could be prosecuted.
A few dead or dying persons
were taken from the edge of the
debris, however, within and hour
after the explosion. The force Of
the explosion threw a bed with a
sleeping woman upon it far into
the street, while one of the heavy
doors of the house landed a block
away. By 0 o'clock the flames
were so far subdued that the res
cuers we're enabled to get at some
of the victims. Some were pinned
beneath the heavy timbers, upon
which rested mass of masonry,
rendering the work of rescue ex.
tremely dangerous. The dead
body of Wright II. Buell., of this
city, was taken out at about 10
O'Clock. The bodies Of Louis IL.
Bronson stove dealer of Hartford,
wife and child we're discovered at
about the same time. The house
had accommodation for about 100
guests, and was the favOrite over
Sunday stopping.place for com
mercial travellers.
An intending guest, who ap'
piled tor a room late Saturday
evening, was informed that they
were full. SO Vt seems probable
that at least so persons we're in
the house at the time of the explo-
sion, of which, perhaps, twenty
escaped uninjured. These we're
mostly employees, who occupied
an annex OF the wing of the house
extending to the east, and which
has not yet fallen, although it is in
a shaky condition.
1t is the most horrible catastro-
phe ever known in Hartford. The
seen es about the ruins were horri-
BILE. In the centre Of the spot
where the building stood was seen
man, his wife and little girl. No
help could get to them and they
finally fell back into the flames
aud died in sight of the spectators
The little one cried for help. The
man and woman uttere not a word
but embraced in each others arms,
met death bravely. Away out
near the annex the shrieks OF a
woman caused the blood OF the
people looking on to turn cold as
they saw the young girl lying with
her body half across the beam
with a look of agony on her face
Finally the support fell and she
disappeared from sight.

A Wall OF DESPAIR.
CLEVELAND's ADMINISTRATION
PROVES THE BASELESSNESS OF
DEMOCRATIC SANDERS.

PROVES THE BASELBSSNESS OF
DEMOCRATIC SANDERS.
From the New York Sun lind. DEM.
Mr. Cleveland's Administration
has arrived at the very eve CT IFS
demise, and the general sentiment
of the Democracy is one OF reliei
and thankfulness.
The Democracy are tired OF a
rule which has brought them only
disappointment aud defeat. They
are tired of a rule which has broken
all promises by which they were
once deluded.
What, indeed, has been the chlei
business and the prevailing char
acteristic Of Mr.. Cleveland's term
of Office 1t has been fit 10 Justify
the Republican Administrations
which preceded him. 1t has been
too show that the great Democratic
revolt Of 1871 and 1876 was all a
mistake and a dtlusiOn.
For years The people Of this
country had believed, and they
had reason to believe, that when
the Democracy came into power
when they get access to the books
and the accounts OF the Govern
ment, there would be revelation
of malieasancp. Of corruption anC
of plumber which would cover with
shane a majority Of the Republl
can officials OF the previous twenty
years, and would produce such
condition of the public judgmen
that the Republican party would
never be restored.
But there has been no such reve
lation. With the exception OF th'
/ Navy Department alone, the whole
effort and effect Of Nr. ClevelanC
and his assistants has been to CIV
clean bill of health to their lie
publican predecessors. NothlnI
has been discovered. Nothing ha
been revealed. According to MI
Cleveland and his assistants, wit
the one exception We have men
toned, all the Republican Admins
tratiOns have been honestly AM
wisely conducted. There has bee
no pervison of the public funds
There has been no abuse of publ
authority.

disposed of the President-elect
starts out for his afternoon walk.
General Harrison is a good pedes-

miles IN less than half an hour. He
generally walks by himself, and
does his best thinking, it is said,
OH his feet in the open air. Just
before dark he gets back home
From that time until dinner is
served he romps with his grandson
BENJAMIN Harrison Mckee. This
is feature of the day the General
takes an especial delight in. So,
it may be added, does the grand.
son. Dinner is served about Z
o'clock, and the evening is given
over to relaxation at home. The
President.elect and Mrs. Harrison
have spent very few evenings out
since the election. The General
IS not fond of cards or other games
at home, and prefers talking or
reading. Only close friends call
after dinner. The family follow
the old maxim and 60 to bed early
about II o'clock. With the
wear and tear he has to undergo
each day, it is safe to say that the
President.elect sleeps soundly.
