A SAD EXPERIENCE.
A Runaway Bride widowed by a Fright
full Accident.

Runaway Bride widowed by q Fright
full Accident.
Several years ago l.. d. Earle, a well-to-
do young man i'll Ma shall, Mich. fell in
love with Ada Rue, wel-known girl in
Marshall society. The girls parents OBJ
jected to the match and Ada Tilted her lover
Earle went away and lost what money he
had. After travelling about the country for
some time he became an aeronaut, and re-
turned to Marshall last July to make an
ascension. Ada had repented, and when
she saw him on the street she forgot the
past and everything was made up. In
to marry him, and when her par
ents again objected she consented to
elope. The couple left secretly one
night and we're married in Canada. The at
fair created quite a sensation. Earle was
announced 10 give an ascension here. and
Frank Thayer, young man in this city, got
permission to 60 up with him, 10 being ar
ranged that Thayer should make q para
chute drop, while Earle was to come down
with the balloon. The ascension was made
at 4 o'clock. The trapeze being intended for
one person was not strong enough to hold the
two and broke when the balloon was fifty feet
from the ground. The two were thrown to the
ground and Earle was instantly killed by
striking on his head. Thayer had an arm
and leg broken, and sustained Internal
were crowded. and in coming down Thayer's
foot struck j. l.. Swift, farmer, on the
head. Swift will recover. The sad ending
to Earle's romance causes much sympathy
for his widow.-Mount Pleasant special TO

A sore1y AmlcIed Family.

The kernel of peanut in the left lung of
William Berry's 2-year-old child caused its
death 10 about four hours at Providence, R.
]. While going home on the Pawtuxet
Valley train the child espied in the car
peanut, which it picked up and swallowed
with the result that the kerne passed into
the lung. Four doctors could not relieve
the sufferings of the child.
A singular list of sudden fatalities has
just afflicted the Berry family. A 3-year-
old child was poisoned only month ago,
which so affected his brother that the little
boy dropped dead from fright When the
mother OF the Berrys some weeks since
died, the funeral party returned from the
cemetery to fiud the father dead in his chair.

Hard Times Bad for "Mv Uncle. -

There's popular impression" said one
OF the best-knOwn pawnbroker5 in town,
that when times are generally bad our
business experiences a big boom. That
isn't so. Hard times for the public means
harder times for us. When a man gets into
straitened circumstances and sees nothing
but financial trouble ahead, he will hang on
to his personal property like grim death,
and only comes to US when absolutely
, forced to by necessity. On the other hand,
a man when he is in good circumstances
and the monetary outlook is rosv will think
nothing of parting with his valuables for a
sum which he may need for the moment,
and he rarely thinks of redeemng the N
until he goes broke again and isn't able to.
That's one of the peculiar things In our
trade that l can't understand. IN. Y. Com

The Irish Potato Crop Failure.

DUBLIN, March 10.-The Irish local gov
eminent has issued report on the failure
Of the potato crop and the condition of the
congested districts. 1t states the districs
in which the disease appeared comprise
about half of Ireland, and is due TO the
planting of old champion seed. In light.
dry soils the crop in some places is excel
lent; in cold, wet land and mountain dis
trlcts the failure is everywhere serious.
The corn crops are mostly good; green
crops are up to the full average: other re-
sources of the farmers are about up to the
average. Briefly, the report goes to show
the small farmers are in good circum-
stances, but are confronted with a scarcity
OF potatoes unprecedented in thirty years,
causing the greatest distress in the con
gested districts. The distress is aggravated
by the reluctance of local shopkeepers to
grant credit. Some of the board estimate
the potato crop failure is equivalent to the
loss OF the midday meal The report gives
details as to how the suffering poor should
De relieved, showing distress is yet on the
increase. Relief applications are confined
to the congested districts of the west. and
to the laboring and fishing classes of the
south, 1t is expected the pressure will be-
come more general between now and April.
