COUNT LEwENHAUPT's DEATH AFTER
A RRIEF ILLNESS.
A bride and "a widow in eleven daVs.
is the sad lot Of Countess LewenhauDt.
nee Ellen Bayard, daughter of ex-sec-
retary of state, Thomas F. Bayard
The death was unexpected, and was a
great shock to the family aud friends
No one outside the family knew that
the count was i'll. The funeral took
place yesterday afternoon, at 3 O'Clock,
with interment in the old Bayard fam
lily vault. in the Old Swedes' P. E..
church yard.
Since the marriage of Count Lewen-
haupt and Miss Bayard on Thursday,
April 2, the couple have lived at their
residence, No. 1917 Adams street.
Their brief honeymoon was spent in
receiving calls from their numerous
friends, pnd when not socially engaged
the connt and countess perfected ar
engagements for their European we'd
ding trip, which was to have begun on
May l.
THE DISEASE RAPIDLY DEVELOPED.
Count Lewenhaupt complained of
not feeling well, and at the solicitation
of his wife, he remained at home. His
indispCsitiOn did not cause any anx
iety until Friday last, when DR.. Will
lam Il. Bullock was called in, and al
though he pronounced the case one of
typhoid fever, even at that time the
counts illness did not seriously alarm
the Bayard family On Saturday and
Sunday he grew worse and on Monday
morning his condition rapidly became
worse. Medical aid proved unavail-
ing, and at 0.95 o'clock. when ex-Sec-
retary Bayard and the nurse alone
were in the room, the Count suddenly
and peaceably passed away.
The shock to the ex-Secretary was
very severe, while the yOnng wife W as
was completely prOstrated. The 9TH
er members of the Bayard family ar
rived soon afterward, So great was
the shock to the ex=premier that he
tainted in the carriage while going
from the Counts late residence to Del.

vehicle at the time, and bystanders
rushed to his assistance. He soon
recovered and proceeded.

HAMLETT- BATES.
The Marriage of Popular Couple To-
Night.

AT $3.50 O'clock tonight, at the
Episcopal church, an extended court
ship will be terminated by the mar
riage of Jas. M. Hamlet and Miss
Mamie A. Bates. That the couple
start out in life with the best wishes
of a large circle of friends is evil
denced by the costly presents that
were s, en- at John f. COuts' furni-
ture store this morning. Rocking
chairs, lounges, sofas, mirrors, center
tables, and in fact nearly every arti-
Gle of furniture that enters into a
completely furnished home were no.
ticed, bearing the cards of the donors
with best wishes for the future hap.
piness of the couple.
James M. Hamlet is well known
in the city, and is esteemed by all
for his good business habits and So
cial qualities. He has been with
John f. Couts several years, and by
strict adherence to business has
gained the confidence and esteem OF
his employer. Miss Mamie Bates is
a young lady who will make the
gentleman whose name she
assumes tonight model wife.
Until few weeks ago she
was a teacher in the Howell
school, and there was a feeling
of regret when she rendered her resig-
nation. The union IS happy one,
and the LEAF CHRONICLE offers
congratulations.
The attendants will be: Jos. r
Wilson and Miss Kate Wilson Ed,
Ely and Miss Fannie Neblett Lee
Owen and Miss Mamie Hamlet T.
f. McReynolds and Miss Nina Brad
ley, of Bowling Green.
JAS. l.. NOrthington will act as
best man and Miss Mary Bates will
give the bride away. DR.. Pettis will
perform the ceremony.
After the marriage the party will
repair to the residence of Ed. C.
Bates, uncle to the BRIDE, where re-
ceptiOn will be rendered.

push the work. Surviving comrades
are equally anxious about the matter.

when they will all be called to their
reward. The question Of location is

ring it will be a lively one at tn
neXt meeting OF the BivOuac. While

teryis a beautiful spot and in every
way becoming, such monument,
concentrating an historical event
Of great importance and intended to
teach generations the principles foI
which Southern chivalry sacrificed
ITS all and brave men gave their life's
blood, ought to be located where
every visitor to Clarksville, every
citizen of Montgomery county and
our children'S children can see it and
be reminded daily of its sacred pur-
pose. In our judgment it should b.
on one corner of the court house lot e.,
where it will serve the double pur
pose of perpetuating the memory OF
our fallen braves and also teach the
essOns Of courage, virtue and priu,
ciple, which it is designed to com
mrmorste. We are of the opinion
that the funds can be more easily
raised for its location in the city, and
would like to hear from others on
the subject. Let this matter be fully
discussed before the spring campaign
work begins.

the entire community regrets that
Mrs. Johnson, the very efficient post
master for the past four years, could
not continue in the administration
of the Office for another term, it was
recognized as fact that the present
administration would most probably
demand the head Of so good Demo
cratic official, and her reappoint-
ment was hardly expected.
The office will be continued in clever
hands, and GAINESVILLE is to be con
graduated. Mr.. Wilcox is an aflable
gentleman of extra good business
and clerical qualifications, AID will
conduct the Office on business prin-
ciples. He is about thirty-fve years
old and has been a resident of Clarks-
