CHOOSING A LOVER
A Very Pretty Girl Has Five
SuitOrs.
Each Proposes in Writing-She Takes the One
Who Says He Will Try to bea
Good Husband.

Especial to THE acknowledgements Dispatch
WILKEsBARRE, Pa, May 3O.-Katie Bier
bauer, of Luzerne borough, selected hus-
band in a novel way as a lawsuit before a
local justice of the peace has disclosed.
Katie was wooed by five young men in town.
She was pretty and had graduated from
the high school. Her father wanted her to
marry, but warned her to select an indus
trious, hard working man and not dude.
Katie confessed she was at loss to decide
which one of the FIVE she liked best. In
her dilemma Katie asked a lady friend
what to do. She was advised to request
from her lovers proposal in writing She
did so. Like oral proposals, no two were
alike. Some were long and boiling over
with love; others were not quite so long but
lacked sentiment. The longest letter re-
ceived made eight pages of foolscap: the
shortest proposal was written on one side
of small note head, it said II will always
try to do my duty as a faithful husband.
Fred Lawrence" The short epistle won
the hand of the woman and on March %
they were married. They live in a pretty
home in The outskirts of town and were
very happy. Last Monday, however MIR.
Lawrence while returning home from a
lodge meeting was brutally beaten by an
unknown man. The supposition was he
was attacked by his former rivals who now
envy MS happiness. Warrents were sworn
out for the arrest of these men.

A Frighful Accident at the At
lantlc & Pacific
Tunnel near Silver Plume, Colo, by Which
Four Men Lose Their Lives-lt Was a
Powder Explosion.

SILVER PLUME, Col, May 3O.-[Special
telegram to THE HERALD. "A frightful ac-
cldent occurred at the Atlantic g. Pacific
tunnel about ten miles above Silver Plume
at o'clock yesterday, by which William
CoughliD, Harry Taylor, John Richards
anC John Mullholland lost their lives The
men were in the breast OF the tunnel and ii
is supposed were preparing to load the
round of holes when the powder, of which
there were about sixty-fve pounds, ex
ploded, hurting them into eternity without
q moments notice. A man who was
working about one hundred feet
away in a drift was thrown against
the wall, but was not injured so but that
he could get out and give the alarm. The
men had part OF the holes loaded and it is
supposed the rest of the powder was ex.
ploded in the same way. Taylor's body
was found about one hundred feet from the
breast entirely naked. The limbs of some
were blown off and it was difficult to
identify them. Coughlin's face is the only
one which can be recognized. Mulholland
came from Nebraska, walking up from
Denver two weeks ago and had only been
at the tunnel two days.

A WEDDING In DENVER JAIL
Escapade of a Salt Lake Couple-Elliott and
Thomas Released Burned by Pow
der Explosion.

BELLEVUE, Idaho, May 30.-ESpecial
Telegram TO THE HERALD. AT Haley,
about IL o'clock last night, Mrs. Bonnie
witt came running down Main street and
asked Constable Stinson to go up to the
house and arrest her husband who had
beaten her and thrust her out of doors. The
constable went up to the house at the
upper end of Main street and called upon
Riley Bornewitz, the woman's husband, to
come out Bonnewitz answered that he
would, but Immediately thrust the barrel
of shotgun against the constable's breast.
The officer grabbed the gun barrel and the
men began a fight for the possession of the
weapon. They fought through two rooms,
and Bonnewitz was finally driven against
the rear wall of the house, when he man
aged to pull the trigger. The gun was dis
charged, but luckily without injury to the
officer, who was, however, knocked down
and who began TO bleed at the nose. He
thereupon left and came downtown to hunt
up the sheriff, who met Bonnewitz oppo-
site Freeman's, few minutes later, and
who arrested and lodged him in jail, to
await the arrival of the district attorney.
District Attorney Barnum went up on the
( train, and after looking into the matter
drew up warrant, charging Bonnewitz
with resisting an officer. The trial was
set for next Monday, and Bonnewitz was
sent to jail in default Of bail.

Every offense by this act declared to be

Presbyterian General Assembly.

DETROIT, May 30.-In the Presbyterian
general assembly this morning some de-
bate arose as to the proposition to drop
from the regular roll and keep separate a
list Of ministers who do not report an
nually to their Presbyteries, but it wasn't
adopted. Another proposition was to for
bid the retirement of secretaries of boards
on salary when too old to serve further.
This was opposed to- as making an unfair
distinction between them and other dis
abled ministers who have only $500 from
the board of ministerial relief. It was
~ ecommitted to the committee.
A telegram was read reciprocatine the
greetings of this assembly TO that of the
United Presbyterian assembly.
The report of the committee on communi-
eating with other denominations, the spe-
ciaI object of which is TO prevent the
organization Of rival churches in small COM
munities, was read by DR.. Ely, of Iowa.
1t reported such committee had done much
good ia recent years and recommended
further effort in the same direction. II
recommended that the proposition Of the
last national council of the Congregational
churches be acceded to in a fraternal spirit.
which has produced so much benefit during
recent years. Also that the committee be
continued. Accepted and referred to the
special committee on church unity The
vacancy in that committee caused Y the
death of Judge Breckenridge was filled by
che appointment Of DR.. Ely.
Invitations for the next assembly from
