FEAR OF HYDROPHOBIA.
Miss Hartman Kills Herself for a
Peculiar Cause.

SUMMIT, Pa, Aug. Miss Jennie
Hartman, a pretty and accomplished
girl, shot herself dead early yesterday
morning at Mertztown, four miles from
here. Ten days ago Miss Hartman,
while playing in the garden, was bitten
in the cheek by her pet dog. Miss Hart
man was apprehensive of fatal results
and grew melancholy. Yesterday she
became alarmingly Respondent and
confessed to her friend. Miss Walker,
she could not recover. 1.-The horrors of
that awful malady are ever before me-"
she said. ~ am its victim. but prefer
any other death to the one know is in
store for me-"
Her friends were now convinced her
mind was affected. Arrangements were
therefore commenced for trip to Kane,
Pa, which the physicians unanimously
agreed would restore her health men
tally and physically. They were to start
the next day. Miss Hartman became
more calm, and before retiring last
night was cheerful, and expressed the
pleasure she felt at the prospect of SO
pleasant a journey. Both ladies occu-
pied the same room, retiring earlier
than usual. Shortly after midnight
Miss Walker was startled by the words:
Lou, Lou, l must end this misery"
Before the half-awakened girl could
realize the meaning of the words the
report of pistol shot was heard, and
Miss Hartman fell corpse, the ball
having pierced her heart. Visions OF
hydrOphobia had haunted her day and
night, Miss Hartman was twenty three
wears of age.

LOVELY'S EMPLOYE.
The Boy Goes to the Workh ouse
and Lovely Smiles.

and Lovely Smiles.
Dog Catcher Lovely and his youthful
employees were before Judge Emery
yesterday OF another dog case. There
were several ladies present, some. little
boys and big, handsome mastiff, only
six months old, over whom the trouble
all arose. The dog was the property of
l.. A. Merrick, the attorney, and his
wife was the chief witness. Many
complaints have been made to the effect
that the canine capturerS are in the
habit of pulling off tags from licensed
dogs and then taking the dogs away,
thereby increasing their revenue.
At any rate, Mr.. Merrick sWore
out warrant for Charles Eel
ter, siXteen-year-old boy, who
was alleged to have pulled the
tag from the dog. Lovely's boy ennis
saries swore positively that no tag had
been taken from the dog and that there
was no license mark on him when he
the evidence on the other side was just
as positive. and, under the circum-
stances, Judge Mahoney had more con-
fidence in the testimony of the plaintiffs.
He fined the boy $50, with the alter
native of twenty days in the workhouse.
AS boy in his circumstances is
scarcely likely to have $50 about him,
he must go to Jail. Lovely refused en-
phatically to pay the fine. and talked
In a loud tone about appealing the case,
but, as he designated the district court
as the court of appeal, it is not likely
that the matter will be taken up. 10
most of those who heard the case it
seemed no more than just that Lovely
should put up the 500, as the boy was,
presumably, acting under his orders.
Many we're heard to say. too, that it was
too bad Lovely was not the one to 60 to
the WOrkhOuSe,

GUNS AT THE woRKHoU Sc

One Man Was Shot, but No One
Was Really Killed.
W. II. Wilson, who on the 9th of last
month, under the name of Charles
Rainey, was committed to the work
house for twenty days for vagrancy.
came to the GLOBE Office yesterday and
told wild tale about violence at the
workhouse. The particulars of his story
included mad dash for liberty, whiS
Ting bullets, wounded prisoner in the
hospital and another prisoner from
whom the vital. spark had been driven
by a Winchester rifle ball. Wilson
talked nationally and told his story in
such STRAIGHTFORWARD manner that a
reporter was sent to the workhouse to
investigate. The result is that there
was some truth in Wilson's story and
some more of it which appears to be
fiction. From Supt. Vests account of
the man, he might have been suffering
from indulgence in opiates. But here
is what Wilson told:
81 was sent up to the workhouse for
drunkenness. A few days after l went
there. while l was in the road squad
away. Aver, the guard, fired four shots
at me from Winchester rife and four
more from revolver, eight in all. Four
of those passed through my clothing.
That amt all the shooting they did.
Last week couple of fellows
tried to get away. One of
them was shot in the hip and
the other one was killed. He was killed
all right, too. Of course, they will deny
it out there. but he did really die. The
man that was wounded was called
'Frenchy,' although he was Swede.
but don't know the name of the man
who was killed. The clothes of both
those men were burned, as were mine
which had the bullet holes In. After
| was shot at, Twas taken off the roads
and put in charge of the engines, they
knowing that was an engineer, and [
know that those clothes were burned in
the engine room. 'Frenchy' knows
about the fellow being killed, and so do
three other fellows, Leonard. Dempsey
and Dunn, who came out with me and
who have left town. l had my nerve
and staid. You can depend on what /
tell you, for it's straight"
Supt. John West laughed when asked
about Wilson's story. He admitted that
it was all substantially correct, except
that portion Of it relating to the killing
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1890-08-02

of man. BE showed the reporter up
to the room where "Frenchy," whose
real name is Charles Wilson, lay. He
said that he had been trying to escape
when shot, and showed where the rifle
bullet had struck him on the right hip.
TWAS only flesh wound, however, and
he will be able to work in couple OF
days. 'Frenchy'' told the reporter
that Aver had intended shooting him in
the arm, but that he missed. 'Frenchy'
denied, however. that anybody had
been killed. at least to his knowledge.
He did not know Wilson or Rainey. In
conclusion ''Frenchy' said: "YOu see
Aver shot me here in the hip, but he
might just as we'll have shot me in the
body and killed me-"
Superintendent West was little
nervous when he found out the re-
porter's mission, but he covered it with
a laugh and showed the newsgatherer
the whole institution. AS the reporter
was leaving West said:
"Now we have to:preserve discipline
here, and if prisoner tries to escape
and won't halt when commanded to the
guard must fire at him. That's what
he's here for. AS for Wilson, OF
Rainey, as we knew him here, when ne
came up here he was a morphine memo
of the worst order. We braced him up
and got him into pretty good shape
when he left here. He probably had gone
back to his old habits before he told you
that story"
Wilson's story, it thus appears, was
all straight up to a certain point.
The action of one shooting upon his
mind might have set his Imagination
running, and as the shooting OF one
man was covered up he thought the
other might too. 1t will be noticed that
although this man ''Frenchy" was shot
overa week ago, so that he has not been
able to get around, nothing was ever
said of it.

New Bids for Coal.

The fuel committee of the board of
education met yesterday morning and
decided not to accept the coal which is
now being delivered by the Mill Wood
company, and to solicit new bids. This
company's bid was accepted upon the
representation that it was to furnish La
Sale county, Illinois, third vein soft
coal. The bid was So Is per ton. Rival
dealers, however, claimed that La Sale
county coal could not be furnished at
such price, and finally the successful
bidders admitted the coal came from a
mine a few miles outside of La Sale
county, though they insisted it was just
as good coal and flom the same vein.
With respect to the new bids the commit
tee will consider none not specifying the
exact mine from Which theeoal is taken.
All must be in by 2 O'Clock Thursday.
The committee also decided to call a
meeting of the full board for 5 p. NJ. on
the same day to consider the matter.
The seven cars of coal which the Mill
Wood company has already delivered
will be paid for.

Mrs. Cornelius Wins Once.

At last one of Mrs. Gonzolus-Scott's
difficulties is at an end. Judge Hooker
filed a decision yesterday morning dis
missing the noted case of Gonzolus
against his wife, from whom the
plaintiff says he never received a di-
vorce. The matter has been up several
times before, and the suit was tried
some weeks ago. The divorce was
based on desertion, but Judge Hooker
in his decision says that the
divorce which Mrs. Gonzolus-
Scott sets up as defense was
as a matter of fact, obtained in Free
born county, 1880, the same being
granted by Judge Farmer. The de-
cision is based on a letter and on evil
dence of the record at that time received
from Judge Farmer. The defendant in
this action is also the defendant i'll an
other suit brought by her present hus-
band, Mr.. Scott, who claims that she
was the wife of another man at the
time of her marriage to him.

proceedings.
Henry Severson brings suit against
Henry Riddle ct al. to recover $1,975
damages for the alleged fraudulent sale
of certain real estate belonging to the
plaintiff.
Helen Strote, young woman twenty
two years of age, will soon tell her tale
of woe in court of how she was seduced
in April, 1889, by James Samuelson.
The suit is brought for $1,000 damages,
with interest at the rate of per cent
per annum until paid. Her complaint
is brief but to the point, and most eX-
plicit regarding time and place OF the
alleged seduction.
Judge Hooker rendered decision for
the plaintiff yesterday in the case of
George W. Payne VS.. Emma NJ. Payne.
The suit was brought on the ground of
impOtency. The judges decision reads
like a medical treatise. The couple
have been married since, June Is, 1885.
Ida c. Anderson has brought an action
for divorce against her husband, An
drew William Anderson, alleging habit
ual drunkenness and adultery. The
plaintiff in the action runs boarding
house at 1112 Washington avenue south,

connection with the house. There are
five children, of whom she seeks the
custody. The couple were married at
Red Wing in 1878, and the plaintiff is
thirty-fiye years old and the defendant
forty.
Henry B. Hurley has begun an action

ton lies. The complaint claims that

Mr.. Hurley, and drove stakes i'll the
land for that purpose. and is thus cut
off from egreSs and ingresS to the river.
