FORCED TO WED ANOTHER.
An Indiana Romance Revealed BY the
Marriage ola Widow.

Marriage ola Widow.
COLUMBUS, IND, November ga
romance in real life has just been de-
veloped here. Louis Vorwold and
Emma Wehlmer were the children OF
two of the weathiest and most proml-
nent German families of Bartholomew
county eighteen years ago. Young Vor-
wold and another young German named
Vonfange sought her hand in marriage.
The former was rich, the latter poor.
Miss Emma agreed 10 marry Vonfange,
but her parents insisted she should wed
Vorwold.
Not, however, until an agreement had
been entered into that she was to be-
come his wife only in name-in a legal
sense-unless she afterwards learned to
love him did the marriage take place.
For fifteen years they resided in this
city, and during all that long time, it is
told, the heart of the wife beat only for
the rejected lover, and while their home
was an elegant one, it was only such in
name. Vorwold died four years ago,
leaving his pretty girlish wife fortune
OF 500. 900. Meantime Vonfange, the
rejected lover of her youth. had married
another girl.
To-day Mrs. Vorwold was married TO
Henry Evewood, uperintendent of the
Columbus electric light plant.

and forced them down upon the electric
wire, which was carrying 500 volts.
The results were startling. Harrison
Ewing; farmer, of Industry district,
was driving across First street, when
one Of the horse stepped on broken
telephone wire and was killed instantly.
The residences OF w. H. Everson, E. z.
Townsend and Harry Baker, located In
different sections of the town, were set
on fire by the telephone lines, but the
flames were eXtinguished.
At Butler, Pa, the frame store build
ings OF w. H. Goehring, wholesale
commission merchant, L. Arras, har-
ness dealer, and Mrs. Fay's boarding
house, were blown down and complete
ly demolished. The occupants were
buried in the ruins, but Joseph Man
ming, Jr., was the only one injured.
The rnins took fire but were quickly
extinguiShed by the fire department.
This evening the wind again became
very high in Pittsburg and the rain
turned to snow.
This evening about dark the steamer
Coal City, while attempting to land at
the wharf at the foot OF Market street,
crashed into the CHARTERS Packet lines
wharfbOat and sank it.
Considerable excitement resulted from
the collision, as Captain Reno lives In
the upper story of the wharfboat, and
all the crews Of the little packets board
there. All were rescued.
The storm had rather disastrous ef-
feet upon the derrickS in the oil fields.
Nearly all the districts within fifty
miles OF Pittsburg suffered to a great
extent. Between Oakdale and No6les-
town, twelve derricks were blown down,
and reports from the McCurdy, Moon,
Moon, Washington, Butler, Green
and other oil districts, are TO
the effect that they all suffered. The
losses to the oil men are roughly es-
timated atS25, 900.
At midnight high wind still pre-
vailed here and it was alternately rain
ing and showing. Communication by
telegraph was still cut OIL
from the east. All the wires
of the Western Union aud Postal Com
panies are prostrated between Pittsburg
and Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washing
ton and New York.
The same condition Of affairs
prevails north, while west and
south the wires are work.
ing very poorly. Armies OF linemen
have been sent out to repair the lines.
and il is expected that they will be In
operation tomorrow. The loss by the
storm will be heavy, but cannot be ap-
prOximated at thiS-tiIe.
