to change at State street, when one of
them suddenly stopped down and picked
up something. A policemen and one
OF two oJher men were on the

THE marriage Of Mrs. Mildred l.
Pettus, the wealthy widow Of Stephen
Pettus OF Brooklyn, recalls tragedy in
real life stranger than fiction stephen
Pettus went to New York from Clarks-
vile, Tenn. and made fortune In con
neetion with the elevated roads His
wife, also OF GAINESVILLE, was handsome
and accomplished. Their home in
Brooklyn became favorite resort
for Southern people, and among
them was Mrs. Helen Southworth,
an intelligent and cultivated woman OF a
good Kentucky family. Mrs Southworth
charged that Pettus had betrayed her,
and after meeting him several times In
his Office to demand reparation and as
distance, which he angrily refused, she
met him at Fulton on November %, 1889,
and shot and killed him. Mrs. South
worth was arrested for murder, which
she did not attempt to deny or pallihte,
and died in the Tombs before
her case came to trial. The will OF Pet
tus filed a few days after death left
property valued at million dollars to
his wife Mrs Pettus returned to
Clarksviile and while living there quietly
in pretty villa, met and married DR..
Ross, U s. N. now stationed at Pessa-
cola, Florida. The secret revealed by
the tragic death Of Pettus caused great
deal Of comment, because Mr. Pettus was
not suspected Of any such entanglements
and Mrs. SouthWorth, too, was above
suspicion. In addition TO this the de-
mands Mrs Southworta made could have
been easily satisfied by the millionaire
broker.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Aug. 4-Ever
since Mrs. j. G. Blaine, jr., has been in
this city she with her son, maid and
nurse have boarded at the leading
hotel. Today, under the instructions
of her attorney, who is prosecuting her
claim for divorce, she rented the Flem-
ing cottage, located on Duluth avenue,
the principal residence thoroughfare.
This move is under the theory that
boarding at the hotel does not perfect
ones residence, and should she con-
tinue at the hotel the judge would re-
fuse to grant a decree. Mrs. Blaine is
anxious TO get her separation papers
and is willing to comply with the re-
quirements necessary to secure it.

The Losses mt COmanche.

CLINTON, Ia, Aug s.-The fire at Ca
manche was more serious than at first
reported. The aggregate loss as now
given out is $4,000 The principa,
property destroyed was the saw mill,
lumber yard, grist mill, dry shed,
dwellings, etc, owned by Gen. Farley.
The business was managed by w. r.
Anthony, and had been run to it's full
capacity this season, $50 hands being
employed. Nine million feet of lum-
ber was destroyed. In this was ,OO0,-
900 feet of seasoned lumber in the dry
sheds. There was $40, 900 insurance on
the lumber, but none on the plant.
The entire plant was valued at 800, 900.
The fire started in the grist mill and
was not discovered until it had gained
great headway. Several residences
were destroyed, but on each was some
insurance. Il. +. Hebron, superintend-
ent of the Albany public schools, fell
from the roof of house which he was
trying to save, and broke his left leg.
A few years ago the town was nearly
destroyed by cyclone, and had but
fairly recovered from the effects. As
the mills were the only thing the town
had, 1t is doubtful II It will be rebuilt.
