TRIPLE AND DEvlLIsH MURDER.
Forced Marriage and Attack on the We'd
ding Party-A Kentucky Item

|
| MoRGANFIELD. Ky, April 6.-Miss Ab-
bic Oliver, of Sturgis, Union county. Ky,
as is alleged, was betrayed by Henry d.
laney, young drug clerk, about eight
months ago. Delaney denied the charge
and refused to marry the girl. At O'Clock
| Tuesday night the girls mother entered
Delaney's place of business, and at the
| point of pistol compelled him to go with
her to p carriage outside in which her hus-
| band and daughter were seated. The quar-
| tette drove rapidly to Morganfield, fifteen
miles distant, and at 3 O'Clock yesterday
morning license was procured and De-
| laney forced to marry the girl.
Delaney j oins the Assailants.
| The party started home in the carriage,
| but when they had driven about four miles
| four men surrounded the vehicle and began
| firing into it. The newly-wedded woman
| was shot through the head and died soon
| afterward. 1t was discovered that she v Is
| about to give birth to a child. Her father
| was shot through the face and in the
right arm. At the first shot Delaney
jumped from the carriage and joined the
attacking party. Mrs. Oliver recognized
the assailants and warrants for their arrest
| have been issued.
Oliver VIII Also Die.
The indications are that Mr.. Oliver will
not live through the night. The phy.i-
| clans say that his injuries are necessarily
fatal. Late yesterday afternoon George
Henry and Frank Holt were arrested by
the sheriff of Union county snd identified
by Mrs Oliver. Seven others were so
arrested, but not being recognized were
released. A brother of Henry is still at
large. The Henry boys are cousins of the
unwilling bridegroom. Delaney is of
most respectable family, but the sympathy
of the community is largely with the OH

The Editors Evidently Do Not Approve

LONDON, April 6.-The Daily Chronicle
says: "The proceedings in the Behring sea
court of arbitration do not promise well
for an amicable solution of the question at
issue. 1t is not, we imagine, in the power
of the American counsel to render the arbi-
tration abortive, but it seems only too
clear that Mr.. Phelps is disposed to give a
narrow, partisan twist to the conduct of
his case, and that he would not stop short
at rendering the whole proceedings nuga-
tory il he could not be sure of issuing from
them ON the winning side II the Wash
ington government was aware that he held
such strongly biased opinions it is a pity
that they did not entrust the case to a law

The Paris correspondent of The Daily
News says: an view of the great issues
involved, Mr.. Phelps seemed to attach I'M
due Importance to questions of mere pro-
ceedure and to ignore the high information
al bearing of the case Unquestionably he
has great legal acumen. Sir Charles Rus
sci did not say SO in as many words. nor
did he even suggest it, yet the inevitable
logic of his argument forced the conclusion
upon the hearers mind that the Baltic or
the Mediterranean or the Red or the Black
sea might each, according to the American
theory, become as close as the Behring Sea. -
