Owing TO the limited room afforded by the
old factory thousands of dollars worth Of
orders have recently been refused, yet the
working hours for the last six weeks have
been from a. m. to 10 p. m. This is the
result Of a hustling management.

down to the railway and seeing a pas
senger train approach, she flung herself
before il and mes her death. In her
pocket was found her brothers razor.
On the fly leaf of her Bible was found

who had committed suicide ia the man
ner mentioned, and from that Mrs. Al
len seems 20 have taken the cue. Her

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, February s.
Bessie Pitman, the daughter OF Matte
Bell, who keeps resort at 172 West
Market street. was shot this morning
between and o'clock, by Phillip
Fahrbach. Fahrbach then shot himself
through the brain, and died from the
effects OF his wound. The revolver used
was a thirty-eig ht-calbre belonging TO
to Bessie Pitman. Five chambers
we're empty. The girl states
that only two shots were
fired, the one that hit her and the one
by which Fahrbach killed himself. The
shot that struck her entered her head
below the right temple, and the sight
of the right eye is destroyed. The
wound, it is believed, is fatal. The
body of Philip Fahrbach was taken in
charge by Flanner & Buchanan. The
Coroner will extract the bullet from
the head for the purpose of ascertain
ing its size, as it is thought that others
were present.
The two parties to the tragedy had
been lovers for two years, and were 10
be married on February %, the girls
birthday. The woman's statement in
her testimony before the Coroner shows
that between AMI o'clock this morn
ing Fahrbach came to her house, knock
ing on the side door, which opened into
her room. Bessie let him in, at the
same time saying: "Where have you
been all night, Phil, and what have you
been doing?"
He replied: That's none OF your
business. know what you have been
doing" She protested that she had
been doing nothing wrong, when Fahr-
bach stepped over to the bureau and
picked up Besse's revolver, every
chamber loaded, and fired at her, in
fllcting the wound from which she now
suffers.
She then saw him point the muzzle
toward himself and cried, "Oh! for
Gods sake, Phil, dear, don't do that. "
But he fired and fell to the floor, and
she ran screaming in to the other girls,
telling them what had happened. 1t Is
thought another man was probably In
tho room with Bessie when Fahrbach
arrived, as trail of blood was followed
from Bessie's door across the street up
into an alley, where it stopped abruptly.
1t looked as if a wounded man had
fastened away. 1t was ascertained
from people in the neighborhood that
the woman was not constant TO Fair
bach, but that steamboat captain
from Cincinnati was in the habit Of Wis
itlng her toward the latter part Of each
week. Fahrback was the scapegrace
son of wealthy and prominent Ger
man, now dead, and was employed as
bar-keeper at a gambling house.

The Famous New York Hotel Sold-The
Home of southerners During the War.
New YORK, February 5.-The old
New York Hotel, which covers the west
side of Broadway from Washington
place to Waverly place, has been sold,
and will shortly be pulled down to make
room for a pretentious business block.
The price was said to be about
81, 100000.
Fifty years ago the site Of the pres
ent hotel was country seat, the hrst
of a succession of suburban villas. To-
ward Madison square, which was then
a common, ran a succession OF low, ir-
regular shaped hills Of sand.
The New York Hotel was built in
1s45 as a fashionable and private home,
much on the same style as the smaller
hotels now on Fifth avenue. The hrst
proprietor was Captain Joe Comstock,
who had commanded steamboat ply
ing between Stonington and New York.
]. b. Monnot, a FrenchmaD, succeeded
him in 1850 The New York Hotel be-
came a rendezvous for French residents
in this country, aud before long its
fame had spread throughout the United
States, particularly the South. Hiram
Cranston succeeded Monnot in 1854.
In the exciting period just before the
war the New York Hotel was the North
ern home of every Southern man OF
note. 1t came to be known In time as
the old Southern Hotel. Beverly Tuck

were familiar figures in its corridors

taken to wearing fabrics and colors al
most undignif1ed. 1t is such mistake.
What delight the really old lady IS,
with her placid face, on which the story
of her sweet life is written in the deli
cate tracery of the years; with soft sill
YER hair parted and covering temples
and ears; and in gown Of rich soft gray
or bronze brocade. 1t should be bronze
if the kind eyes are brown-eyes less
bright than years ago, perhaps, but
with softness, not dimness, from the
years. About the slender wrists and
throat there is narrow edge OF brown
marabout, and the skirt is finished In
the same way. l have her sketched as
she sits in her arm chair-no picture OF
forgotten or unbeautiful old age, but

with years as with garland Of pale
