after singing to him syren songs of her
wealth and expressing regret that she
could not purchase his farm desired to pay
for her lodging and meals. The price
was stated TO her, and in payment she
rendered him 500 bill, which could not
be changed. After promising to again re-
turn she departed, and then called on
Mr.. Pembroke, another prosperous farmer,
and offered to pay him the price which
he asked for his farm, and in order TO
convince him OF her good faith she agreed
to pay him So TO bind the bargain. The
500 bill again came to the surface, and
Pembroke was about TO draw his wallet,
when Mrs. Pembroke interiered and the
bill was not changed. From here she
went to Nebraska, small village, pur-
chased a farm from a poor man, and the
bill was by him changed, and he was paid

Elected President.

OrSRnizatIon-M. A. Downey of Indianapolis
Elected President.
Promptly at Il o'clock Thursday the new
state board of agriculture was called 10
order by Secretary of State Matthews in
the agricultural room at the state house.
Governor Hovey being officially ignorant
Of the existence of the board and its pro-
posed meeting, was, OF course, not present.
Col. NJ. A. Downing was chosen chairman
OF the meeting and Isham Sedgwick of
Richmond secretary. Secretary Matthews
then read the act OF the legislature Great
ing and governing the board, after which
the roll was called by the secretary. Every
member OF the board answered to his
name except Samuel Hargrove of Prince
ton, representative of the First district,
from whom letter was received ana read
to the meeting, saying that he could not
attend on account of illness, but was
ready to assume any duties which the
board might assign to him.
Mr.. Erwin then moved that the election
OF permanent officers proceed at once, but
this aroused considerable opposition, and
after considerable discussion, the motion
was lost by a close vote. A motion was
then made and carried to appoint a COM
mittee of three 10 form rules for the
guidance of the board. Dir. Downing said
that the members were all strangers to
him and asked for suggestions as to whom
to appoint on this committee, and the re-
suit was the selection of Messrs. Erwin
of this city, Custer of Logansport and
/ Thomas OF Nashville.
1t was then decided to hear the report
and opinion of the attorney for the board
in the suit now pending for possession of
! the states property, and the room was
| cleared OF all but members of the board.
| From this time on the meeting was held
with closed doors.

New Faculty Notes.

MUNcIE, April IA. - Especial - Two
county families met tragic deaths this
morning from the same accident and dy-
ing in the same hour. They were Cora,
the twelve-year-old daughter of DIR. A. L.
Murray, prominent physician Of Eaton,
ten miles north of Muncie, and Emma. the
twenty-year-old daughter OF Jacob Peter
son, q wealthy farmer living near Gran
vile, a village few miles distant. Miss
Cora had been visiting Miss Peterson
over night, and both girls started for
Eaton this morning to attend a normal
school in session there. They rode in
light cart and drove rather a spirited
horse. A shower coming up suddenly
caused one of the girls to raise her um-
brella. The horse took alright at this
and dashed up the pike at a tremendous
rate of speed. A quarter of a mile away
was a turn in the road, and on the far
side was picket fence. When the horse
reached this he endeavored to make the
turn, and the spectators were horri-
fed to see the girls thrown
with great force against the fence.
Friends arrived at the place
within a few seconds, but the young ladies
gave little signs of life. They were re-
moved to an adjoining house and then the
terrible scene that was exhibited made
strong men weep. Roth girls were breath
ing. but the skulls OF both were fractured,
the blood gushing and their brains pro-
truding Miss Murray died within forty
five minutes after the accident, and Miss
Peterson followed her in half an hour.
Onlookers OF the runaway had been pow
erless TO stop the horse. The prominence
Of the families of the victims and their
own pleasing qualities cast a decided
Gloom over all.

LYNcHING SUGGESTED.
Brutal Outrage by an Ex-Convict at
Nashville.

RUsHvILLE. April 20.-[Special James
Story, an ex-convict who recently finished
a ten-years' term in the penitentiary for
the murder Of Joseph Beaver, was ar
rested last night by Constable Reynolds
on a charge of rape and infanticide. An
unfortunate girl named Carmichael was
about to become a mother and procured
lodging in house near the one in which
Story lived. The poor girl was confined
to her bed about the middle of last week
and on Friday was delivered of a still-born
child. 4 post norton was held and the
following brutal information developed:
The poor sick woman testified that Story
had frequently entered her room and COM
PEELED her. under terrible threats, to yield
to his brutal desires. A neighboring
woman, who had taken pity on the unfor-
tunate woman, and visited her to render
assistance, was driven from the house by
the monster. After the child was born, it
is said. he tried to accomplish his hellish
purposes, and strong talk of a lynching
bee was INDUCED in by many in the west
end. The girl is now at the point of death
and cannot recover. Story is bad char
acter and will, it is thought, be returned
to his former residence at Jacksonville,
if he escapes the fury of justly indignant
people.

DEATH OF MRS. HALFORD.
She Passes Quietly Away MT Washington
Among Her Friends.

She Passes Quietly Away Mt Washington
Among her Friends.
WASHINGTON, April 15.-N1rs. Mary
Frances Halford, the wife of Elijah w. Hal
ford, private secretary to the president, died
at their residence, the Elsemere, at So'clock
this morning of chronic bronchitis. She
had been an invalid for many years and
for the last three years had been a con-
slant sufferer from the old trouble, bron-
chitis, complicated with severe attacks OF
asthma. She has been compelled to spend
each winter for years past in the South
and, as has been her habit, spent the
greater part Of the past winter at Thomas
vile, Ga.
About two weeks ago her condition had
become so precarious that Mr.. Halford
was telegraphed for. He found his wife
slightly improved and with sufficient
strength to return to Washington, which
they did, arriving here a few days ago.
While her death came with startling sud
denness there has been but little hope Of
her recovery for some months past. Her
attacks of asthma were very severe and 1t
was feared that she might pass away at
any time in one OF them.
Mrs. Halford had. for some years. been
of the severity of the northern climate had
spent her winters in the South. Mr. Halford
was notified two weeks ago oil his wife's danger
Gus condition and went TO Thomasville. Co.,
where she spent last winter, and brought her
back to their home in Washington. Although
there had for some time been but little hope
of her recovery, her death came suddenly.
Mrs. Halford was the daughter Of George w.
Armstrong of Wilton, Me-, nnd was about forty
two years old. She was married TO Mr.. Elijah
w. Hallord in May, 1866. Her marriage was
quite romantic. At the time Miss Armstrong
was q music teacher and Mr.. Halford re-
porter on the Journal. Suddenly Mr.. Arm
strong decided to remove his family 10 Illinois
and the young couple determined on the day
of departure TO wed at once, their marriage
being performed an hour or two later and the
bride Immediately leaving for her fathers new
home.
Mrs. Halford is remembered in this city as a
woman of musical and literary ability, and is
incurred as an amiable, cheerful lady of purest
purposes, a devoted wife and loving mother.
She was for years n leading soprano, and
prominent in local church chors. Her daugh-
ter, Jeanette, the only child. was with her at
all times during her sickness.l
Mrs. Halford was buried in Indianapolis

A ouarrelsome Fellow Stabbed.

HUNTINGTON. April 20. Especial -
Lewis Broadus, a well-known character Of
this city, was dangerously injured with a
knife Saturday evening by John Cutler,
who is regarded as a peaceable citizen.
Broadus is of a quarrelsome nature, and
had been abusing Cutler about some triv-
ial matter, and had followed him from
place to place in a threatening manner.
They finally came together near the court
house and Cutler stabbed him twice with
knife. 1t is claimed that the cutting
was done in self-defense. 1t is thought
that Broadus will die. Cutler has not
