A FAlRMONT GIRL
Marries a Crook Whom She
Met at the Worlds Fair.

Met at the Worlds Fair
1t seems that q Fairmont girl
has recently figured in avery I'M
pleasant matrimonial comedy.
A dispatch from Tifiin, Ohio, last
week says: Asurprising sequel
to the romatic marriage in this
city yesterday of A. B. Potter, of
Denver. and Miss Name Hall. OF
Fairmont. w. Va, has been de.
veloped. They claimed here
that they had met for the first
time at the Worlds Fair, and
that she was ON her way home.

and become his wife. To-day
information was received to the
effect that $500 reward has been
offered for his arrest. he being

Iowa.
Miss Hall is the daughter of

the surface again a most consusn-
mate sconndrel and adds another
victim to q long list OF people
who have been betrayed by his
confidence game.
+ Potter has always claimed
Denver for his place OF residence,
although he has neverliyed here.
AT various times he has repre-.
sented himself as an official OF
the Santa Fc railway, but more

the Ne,os Printing Company
when he failed to realize funds
upon the mere statement that he
owned an interest. Every bank
has handled his drafts and in
1889 and 80 they were so numer.
GUS that the bankers did not even
go to the formality of presenting
them to the business management
of this paper for rejection. Pot
ter became a byword among the
banks, and for the protection of
Eastern correspondents a stand
ing notice was kept in the Netcs
for several months warning read
ers TO beware OF the fraud. Need
less to say, Potter never had the
remotest connection with the
Ne,os.
Potter is a man about five feet

200 pounds. is Of ford complex
ion, full habit, has lafge features,

there may be some mistake about
the matter, but acknowledges
that Miss Hall is married to Mr..

quaintances in Clarksburg who
were greatly surprised and
shocked at her strange conduct.

AT precisely 26 minutes after
o'clock on Monday evening the
Senate OF the United States by a
vote OF 4sto 81, after one Of the
most remarkable and memorable
parliamentary battles of a genera
ton, passed the billuncondition-
ally repeating the purchase
clause of the Sherman silver law.
The end was reached at the
conclusionofa continuous session
of fourteen days, after sixty.one
days Of debate, during which Eve
volumes of Congressional Record
had been filed with speeches.
amounting in the aggregate to
about twenty million words.
The @gis Of senatorial courte-
lsy was no protection in the last
moments. Grey haired men, in
famed by the fiery passions that
always characterizes the close of
q bitter contest, did not spare
each other. Senator Morgan,
with words that fairly burned.
heaped his denunciatlonon Sena-

The Democrats were hot and
angry at the dessertion Of some
of their colleagues that made
their defeat possible. The Popu.

the doom Of silver was the aoom

something tragically pathetic in
the despairing cry of the silver
Senator's. 1t meant they said,
ruin and destruction and desola-

Mr.. German said on the floor
in a speech of great bitterness
that Republican Senators, head.

the terms. Republicans are glad
to accept the responsibility for
doing what the people demand
and experience shows to be right.

chicago's Mayor Shot In His
Own House.

|
CHICAGO, October %. Mayor
Carter H. Harrison was shot
dead tonight by q discharged
policeman. The assassinls name
IS Eugene p. Prendergast. he
called at the Mayors residence
al Ashland Boulevard and Jack
SON street at 7:so o'clock this
evening. Ringing the door bell
he asked for Mayor Harrison.
There was nothing about the
mans appearance to excite sus-
picion. He was ushered into the
reception room by the servant
Girl. who answered the door bell.
The girl went to the dining room
oteIl Mr.. Harrison that there
was a visitor to see him.
Mr., Harrison arose from the
table where he had been sitting
and started to the reception
room. A few steps brought them
within ten feet Of each other;
Prendergastwithouta word drew
a revolver.
Mr.. Harrison with a cry of
alarm sprang back. AS he did
so Prendergrast fred. In quick
succession he fired three shots,
each of which took effect.
Mr.. Harrison staggered back.
He turned and walked unsteadi-
" to the dining room and passed
tothe pantry He placed his
/ hand on the marble slab and then
sank to the floor Fifteen min
ates later hewas dead.
The noise of the first shot had
brought the members Of the
Mayors household to the hall
from all parts Of the house. They
arrived just in time to see the
Mayor stagger through the door
into the dining room. AT that
moment the assassin was just
starting for the door.
He turned to them, and with a
wave of his hand, exclaimed
He promised me a job, and
didn't give tito me, and I've shot
him, and now I'm eyenwitn him. y
With these words he passed
through the door. Mr.. Harri-
sons coachman, who had been in
the kitchen, entered the hall
from the rear. He saw the man
as he passed out and heard the
last few words. Without waiting
to find outwhat had actually hap.
pened the coachman drew a re-
volver and opened fire on the
fleeing man. His aim was poor
and he missed hitting the fellow
with any of three shots he fired.
By the time he reached the front
door the fellow had disappeared.
Meanwhile the other persons
in the house had rushed to the
spot where the Mayor lay dying.
He was lifted as gently as posi-
Die and carried to a couch. His
clothes were quickly ripped from
his body. and within a few
minutes a physician was at his
side. 1t was too late, however,
and the most famous Mayor
Chicago has ever had died before
anything could be done to save
his life.
Mayor Harrison died by vio-
lence, adoctrine he often preach.
edn his harrangues.
He was in his sixty eighth
year.
He believed in what he called
=, European Sunday, but he made
chicago a den of thieves and
0runkards on Sunday, not the
wholesome holiday the day is
abroad.
Mr.. Harrison has always been

american in sentiment. His pub.
lc addresses never revealed any
Sfong instinct of patriotism.
