THRILLING FUNERAL SCENE.

Daughter, but the SOn.in-Law Objects.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
FORT WAYNE. Ind, Dec. GA sensa-
tional s0ene was enacted at the funeral of
Mrs. Cora Titus wife of Charles III. Titus,
locomotive engineer on the Nickel-plate
road, yesterday afternoon. The funeral
was held from the Church of the United
Brethren. At the conclusion of the church
services the remains were exposed to view,
and the bereaved husband and his family
were the first to take last look at the cold
Karlger, the father of the dead woman, an
aged and respected resident of this county.
With face whose every line was picture
of sorrow, the old man moved slowly
toward the casket. He Razed at the form
OF his daughter In silence. then leaned over
the remains to imprint q kiss on the mo-
tionless lips. At this juncture Charles III.
Titus leaped from his seat his face livid
with rage. He advanced toward the old
man. and in tragic tones exclaimed:
Here. here None of that. No kissing
goes. You did not treat her as q father
should while she was living. and you shall
not kiss her. She Is not your daughter
now; she is my wife"
With this, he made q rush at Mr.. Kariger
separated the men, and, after q time. the
funeral cortege proceeded to the cemetery.
1t appears that an estrangement had been
occasiOned between father and daughter
on account of q lawsuit In which Mrs.
Titus testified against her father. The
affair has created q tremendous sensation
among the friends of the parties concerned.
