July. Dr.. Marvin was the weaIthiest
man in Cordele. He was president of
the bank, and was worth something
over 800. 200. DR.. Marvin and his wife
were intdels, though but few people
knew it until his death last July. Mrs.
Marvin was wild with grief at the time
of her husbands death, and made the
startling announcement that she had
made solemn compact with her hus-
band before his death agreeing that
they would enter oblivion at as near the
same time as could be easily arranged
by means of suicide.
She still contemplates taking her own
life as soon as she has made some ar
rangementS for the permanent inter-
ment OF her husbands remains. When
the doctor died the body was followed
to the grave in the cemetery by all the
people OF the town. Four days after
the burial, in the darkness of the night.
there was another funsral procession.

dead except those who helped to dig the
earth from above the coffin and bear the
corpse back to the place from which the
first procession had started. In the

back the body. Next morning an en-
balmer arrived from New Orleans and
embalmed the body. At the same time

Marvin.
If the original idea had been carried

magnificent tomb in Georgia, but Mrs.
Marvin has given up the idea of build

her husbands memory. Mrs. Marvin
refuses to separate the jewelry and the
remains of her husband. To bury him
in the cemetery she fears the body will
be eXhumed and the Jewels stolen.
Therefore. the body is kept in the par
lor of her house, and will stay there
until she decides on some sort of a safe
tomb for the remains of herself and
husband. When such is prepared, by
her own hands she says she will Join

covered at Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI, Oct. "A few weeks
ago the Cincinnati IL Covington Street
railway reduced the fare from 10 5
cents, and travel was greatly increased,
but strangely enough tile revenue was
largely decreased. The company en-
ployed Detective E. A. Miller, of Cleve--
land, to discover the cause if possible.
He was affable, and soon had a staunch
friend in every conductor of the road.
One night when he had made his last
tip conductor asked him if he was
short, and on his replying yes handed
him lot of punched tickets. which, on
examination at his room, he found some
of them scorched. He inquired at the
office what they did with their Cancelled
tickets, and on being told they were
taken to the furnace and burned found
that the conductors had been in the
habit of resurrecting the tickets that es-
capped the flames and using them again.
The scheme was hard one and hard to
detect.
