TRAGEDY RECALLED.
BY Recent Marriage in the Old
Town of Roanoke, Va.

Roanoke, Va, March 31.-Friday
night a marriage was performed in
this city that recalled one of the
most distressing tragedies in the his
tory of Botetourt county. The parties
to this marriage were John w. Trout
and Mrs. Layinia X. Walton, nee
Obenshain, both natives of Troutville,
Il village seventeen miles east
In the summer of 1891 Houston
Obenshain, brother of the bride, and
Horace n Trout, brother of the
groom, were each paying attention to
Miss Alice Richardson, a pretty young
lady of Troutville. Obenshain resided
wild. Learning of several scrapes into
which he had gotten himself, the
young woman's father objected to a
continuance of his attentions, which
had become so marked that it was
reported the young couple were en-
gagged. Miss Richardson wrote Oben-
shain the decision of her father, and
charged that it was due to tales told
him by Trout. Obenshain, on receiv-
ing the letter. Immediately began
preparation for wreaking a terrible
vengeance on Horace n. Trout. He
speedily arranged his worldly affairs,
hired IL horse and buggy, and informed
several friends that he was going to
Troutvile to kill Trout Miss Richard
son and himself but no one paid any
attention to these threats. Arriving
at Troutville, he ascertained that Trout
and the young lady were at the house
of a Mr. Boyer. Thither he went,
spoke pleasantly to every one, and
asked Trout to walk with him to a
church close by. Trout consented, and
when they had nearly reached the
church Obenshain drew a revolver and
fired bullet into Trout's head. His
victim fell to the ground to receive
two more balls in his body. Oben-
shain stood over his victim few mo-
ments and calmly surveyed his work.
He started to the house where Miss
Richardson was, but turned went to
the church, where few people had
assembled, told them what he had
done, and then went to the house of
Benjamin Murray. Just as he entered
the doorway he placed the muzzle of
the revolver to his temple, pulled the
trigger, and fell to the floor dead.
Trout fingered for several days and
died. His body was buried in the
same cemetery with Obenshain's, and
close by it.
The marriage Friday night reunites
two families separated by the tragedy.

IN HOSTILE MOOD.
SAMOANS BENT ON CAUSING Sc
RlOUS TROUBLE.
The American Consul General Says
there Is no Hope Of Peace-War
Vessel May Be Sent.

Washington. March 31.-The state
department has received cablegranl
from Consul Blackjack, at Apia,
Samoa, fully confirming the news
from Auckland of a native uprising.
Consul General Blacklock's dispatch
expresses the opinion that there is no
hope of permanent peace as the ma
tives are in hostile mood and cannot
be restrained.
The absence of a war vessel at Apia
Is a matter of regret at the state de-
partment, but it is difficult to see how
one of our own ships can De sent
there without interference with the
plans of the navy department If, how
ever, it is decided TO send ship. 1t
will probably fall on the Charleston,

Horn, to so.

JENKINS DECISIONS.
THEY WILL BE FILED IN THE
n. L. CASES THIS WEEK.
Labor Unions Greatly Interested in
the Proposed Congressional 1nvesti-
gation-The Judge Ready.

Milwaukee, March 31.-Judge Jen-
kins Is working diligently on his de-
cisons in two of the Northern Pacific
cases now pending in the United
States circuit court. He will file these
decisions next week, unless his eX-
animation before the congressional
committee takes more time than he
expects it will take. The judge is
still in Chicago, and George L. Miller,
of counsel for Receiver Payne, is also
there. In an interview with j. f.
Harper, one of the attorneys for Presi-
dent Brayton Ives, the judge substan-
TALLY outlined his plans as stated
above Mr.. Harper said he believed
that Judge jenkins would not hesitate
to appear voluntarily before the com
mittce and tell all he knows.
1t Is now thought that he will file
his decision amending the notorious
strike orders, when the congressional
committee meets, 50 as to take the
sting out of them. Mr.. Harper says
that what the judge meant to say in
the iniunctions was substantially this:
The men shall not conspire to quit
with or without notice, on Jan. l, or
ut any other time, with the intention
of injuring the company"
II do not approve of the order re-
ducing the mems wages, neither do
disapprove Of it," said Mr.. Harper.
II do not know whether they were
paid too much or too little. Gen.
Counsel SilaS w. Petit, of Philadelphia
J is not In favor of this investigation,
nor do the directors he represents
furnish the money to the men to fight
the receivers. Judge Jenkins told me
| that about the time he would file his
decision In the matter o. the motion
to amend the strike orders. he would
also decide the motion to appoint two
masters to take testimony in the mat
ter of application for the removal of
the receivers. or course l don't know
what the decision will be. but l hope
to see it favorable to our side. The
Northern Pacific company is again
doing business. and the transfer of
has been resumed"
Judge Jenkins said nothing with re-
gard to the question whether the re-
ceivers shall be paid $4,000 a year
or not. That he still holds in abey.

HER TWO BOYS.

A reporter for the Chicago Tribune
describes what he calls "a domestic
DRAMA" witnessed on a Michigan Cen
trail train the other day. A tall, fine
looking man and handsomely dressed
woman sat just in front of plainly
dressed, sweet-faced lady of perhaps
seventy years. Once in while-pretty
often-the man turned and made some
remark to the elderly woman, whom he
called mother. and whose eyes showed
that she was proud and fond of her
son. The younger woman, his wife,
seemed somewhat less cordial, but She
too. once in while turned and dropped
word or two.
BY and by the porter announced that
dinner was ready in the dinin car, and
the young man said
well, mother, Emma and I will go
now and get a dinner. You know she
needs something warm. You have
brought your luncheon, l notice, and
will send you in a cup Of tea"
After the couple had gone mother
sat looking out of the window, in deep
thought. apparently, and perhaps not
altogether happy. Finally she reached
under the seat and brought out little
worn black basket, and began finger
ing the ribbon with which it was
tied.
Just then the train stopped at sta
tion the door was flung open, CHEEKY

ca gerly up and down the car, and his
glance fell upon the old lady.
"Mother" he cried.
John. my john answered the lady,
and the two were clasped In loving
embrace.
Where are Frank and Emma?" he
demanded.
'They have gone into the dining-car.
Emma isn't strong, you know, and has
to have hot dinner"
This last remark she repeated in
answer to look in Johns eyes.
"And you didn't want any dinner.

basket. He mustn't hurt his mothers

Sudden Death.

Samuel W. Chambers, who lives on one
of Anthony Bullock's Chesterfield farms,
died suddenly on Monday of last week.
He went to Wrightstown to sell his pigs,
leaving that place about two O'Clock In the
afternoon. He was seen by several
persons along the road and when he
passed Harrison Poinsetts, about three
miles from Wrightstown, and halfway to
his own home, when he was sitting up in
his cart A half mile further on his hat and
glove were found in the road. When the
cart passed G. W.. Borden's place, Cham
bers was lying in the bottom of the cart,
with his head against the wheel.
He continued in this position until he
reached home. The horse, in turning
into the lane, pulled the cart too close to
the fence, against which the wheel struck,
upsetting the cart and throwing Chambers
out. He was carried into the house and
medical aid was summoned, but it was
decided that the man had been dead at
least half hour.
Coroner Borden held an inquest on
Wednesday. when the jury rendered a
verdict of death from injuries received
while suffering from uremic commissions.
Deceased left wife and one son aged 81
years.
