SENSATION TIT ST. LOUIS.

| Prominent You. Man shoots His
Brother In Law.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. "a little after 4
o'clock last evening Harry ii. Morgan OF
the LAclede Gas Ligat Company, shot and
mortally wounded his brother In law,
William Barrett.
The parties concerned In the trouble are
among the most prominent society people
In the city.
Morgan Is son of Judge Morgan OF
New York, who was United States minis
ter to Mexico under Garfield, the son be-
ing secretary to the legation. Young
Morgan, after the close of Garfieids ad-
ministration, located in this city. At that
time Col. w. p. Edgerton was q promi-
the best circles. Morgan became ac-
quainted with Miss Mollie Edgerton and
they were engaged. The young lady's
parents forbade the match, as they
thought Morgan too wild, but the couple
were married without the parents con-
sent.
Col. Edgerton soon after moved to
Kansas City, where he is now a prominent
street railway magnate. The young
couple have lived here and have had four
children, only one OF whom is living.
AT first they were happy, then mu.ual
coldness and finally dislike arose. Mrs.
Morgan reproached her husband with
having
Subjected Her to Indignities
and cruelty and with preferring to take
In the town to passing the time with her.
He charged her with receiving attentions
from other men.
Some time ago Mr.. Morgan informed
his wife that he intended bringing d.
yorce proceedings against her, threaten
ing TO summon as correspondents five OF
the best known society men In the city.
Mrs. Morgan Indignantly denied the
insinuatlons and dehed him. A truce
mined on. Mr.. Morgan left the house
and went 20 q hotel and the child re-
NAMED with its mother.
Last November Mr.. Morgan abducted
the child and took her to New York. Ten
days later he returned to this city and
told his wife that sne would never see her
child again. Mrs. Morgan Yesterday had
her husband arrested for abandonment
and abduction. Mr.. Barrett, who married
Mrs. Morgan's sister, accompanied the
officers, who made the arrest.
A writ of habeas corpus was also served
upon Morgan, requiring him to produce
the child In court. He was released on
bond. Last night on Eastern avenue Bar
rett and Morgan met and exchanged an
cry words. Morgan drew pistol and
hred. The ball eptered Barrett's mouth.
knocking out several teeth, and lodged in
the rear OF his head. Morgan was at once
arrested. Mrs. Morgan will institute suit
for divorce on the grounds of dssertion.
neglect and q suit for the possession of the
child will also be brought.

NORWICH, Conn, Jan. 3.-There was

SUN GOING OUT,
In About Ten Million Years There WIN
BE No Light.

In About Ten Million Years There VIII
BE No Light.
1t seems that the sun has already diss;-
pated about four fifths of the energy
with which IL may have originally been
endowed, says an exchange. At ell events
it seems that, radIating energy at its
present rate, the sun may possibly hold
out for four million years or five million
years, but not ten million years.
Here, then, we discern in the remote
future limit to the duration of life on
this globe. 1t does not seem possible for
any other source of heat to be availa bic
for replenishing the waning stores OF the
luminary.
1t may be that the heat was originally
impaired to the sun as the result of
great collision between two bodies which
were both dark before the collision took
place, SO that, in fact, the two dark
masses coalesced into vast nebula, from
which the whole Of our system has been
evolved.
OF course, IL is always conceivable that
the sun may be reinvigorated by rene
tition OF the same startling process. II
is, however, hardly necessary to observe
that so terrible a convulsion would be
fatal to life In the solar system.
Neither from the heavens above nor
from the earth beneath does it seem pos
sible to discover any rescue for the hu-
man race from the inevitable end. The
race Is as mortal as the individual; and.
SO far as we know, its span cannot under
any circumstances be run out beyond a
certain number Of million of years which
can certainly be told on the fingers of
both hands, and probably on the fingers
OF one.

True Marriage.

A happy wedlock Is a long falling in
love. / know young persons think love
belongs only to the brown hair and
plump, round, crimson cheek. So IL does
for its beginning, just as Mount Wash
ington begins at Boston Bay. But the
golden marriage is part of love which
the bridal day knows nothing of. Youth
Is the tassel and silken flower of love;
age is the full corn, ripe and solid in the
ear. Beautiful IS the morning of love
with its prophetic crimson, violet, SAT-
from, purple and gold, with it's hopes OF
days that are to come. Beautiful also is
the evening of love, with its glad remem-
brance and its rainbow side turned to-
ward Heaven as well as earth.-Theodore
pPrker.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Jan. 3.-The local
Congregational clergymen lately sent a
Joint letter to the Yale faculty urging the
prohibition Of all betting and gambling
at the university, and especially on foot
ball and other sports.
The letter signified that the university
has general moral tone, but added that
the faculty should enact special measures
against the vice OF gambling and betting
TO which some of the students are prone.
President Dwight has replied to the let
ter, telling the clergymen that the faculty
has taken the matter into consideration
and will frame some measures, IL FEAST
BILE plan can be devised. The clergymen
wished to publish the correspondence.
but refrained at the request OF President
Dwight: Doctor Newman Smythe said
last night:
"Owing to the presidents request we
shall not publish our letter, nor his, un-
less some contingency arises that makes il
a matter OF necessity. Unless such q con
tingency happens, or unless President
Dwight publishes his letter, we shall moi
put ours in print"

culiar acoustic qualities Of the vault by
which the riversis arched.
Last summer, In company with a party
OF four persons, no Others being on the
river at the time, we tried the effect OF
rocking the boat as violently as we dared
to do, also striking the surface of the

ways making as much agitation OF the
