Followed by Fatalities.

| The Indiana Gazette, in its first issue af-
ter Christmas. contained an account of the
| marriage of Miss Helen Fulton, daughter
| of Rev. Mr.. Fulton, pastor of the u. B.
| church at Rochester Mills, Indiana coun-
ty. TO Mr.. Grasse. telegraph operator
stationed at Kaylor junction.
On Saturday, March 81, telegram was
received by Mr.. Fulton announcing that
| his son-in law had been terribly maDgled
| in railroad accident and could not sur
vive. Mr.. Fulton started at once to drive
| to Glen Campbell in order TO get a train for
Kaylor. Upon arriving at the Glen Camp
| bell depot lac received word that his SON
| n-law was dead.
A strange series of accidents appeared to
attend the young man actions in connection
with his wedding.
A short time before the day set for his
| marriage the station at kaylor was enter
ed by two robbers. He had S35 of the rail-
road company's money and a gold watch
Secreted there, and these fellows were af-
ter it. He entered the room and found
| them endeavoring TO secure possession of
his treasure. One of the robbers raised a
| a revolver but Mr.. Grasse made his escape
| and summoned help from the passengers of
| a train which had just arrived at the sta =
| tion. One of the thieves was caught and
| arrested. He subsequently, turned states
evidence and implicated his pal. Both
| were tried at Ebensburg two weeks ago,
one receiving a sentence of five years in the
penitentiary while TIE other got ten Mr..
Grasse had to make good the money stolen.
as he had orders not to leave il at the sta
tion. After he had started for Rochester
Mills, IA day or two before Christmas, in
order To be married. he was nGbagged on
the road and robbed of all the money he
had, and was compelled TO return TO his
home for more money.
Arrived at Rochester Mills two days be-
fore the solemnizing of the nuptialS, the
groom prospective was chagrined to learn
that the officer who was to have procured
the marriage license had been called away
and the papers had no: been obtained.
There was nothing for him to do but TO get
his sweetheart and make a flying trip to
the Indiana court house. A drive of 40
miles through the mud was unpleasant,
but the lovers accomplished it in twelve
hours, and all was serene for the ceremony.
He left young man in charge of the tel
egraph Office at Kaylor during his absence,
and when Mr.. GraSSe returned to KaylOr
with his wife, he found this young man
had been killed in an accident. And nov,
three months and one week from his mar
rage, his own death occurs.

Bob's Creek Railroad.

Contractor c. f. Lingenfelter. of ClayS-
burg. informs us that he met Il party of
western capitalists at Cumberland last
week and made arrangements for the com
pletion of the Bob'S Creek railroad. which
will run through the northern part of Bed
ford county. The lire will extend from
South Fork, Cambria county, To Somerset
and Bedford counties. then il will take ii
nOrthweSterly course into Blair county.
Mr. LingcnfcIteT says the road will likely
tap the Pennsylvania and West Virginia
At Cessna, if the latter road is ever built:
and it may be extended to Somerset and
make connection with the Baltimore X
Ohiy at Hooversvillc or Bethel. He thinks
the large area of undeveioped coal and
timber lands in the counties through
which the proposed railroad Is to run will
make the building of the road a paying in
veStment.-BedfOrd Gazette

rhs conrre..IonsI conrentlon.

One Of the finest congressional con-
ventions ever held in this part Of the
State was that which convened at De
fiance on the 18th. The day was
most beautiful and the good Demo
Gratis Of our neighboring county on
the west had made all necessary ar
rangements looking for the comfort
and entertainment Of delegates and
visitors, so that nothing was left open
to mar the full enjoyment of the oc-
casion. The convention was held in
the Citizens Opera House, where the
delegates sat in comfort and ease dur
ing the deliberations Of the eonven-
tion. The opera house proved a
splendid convention place, with prob
ably the exception of the lack Of eau
Gus and committee rooms. 1t was
commodious and airy, easy Of access,
and was a luxury not often thrown to
the lot of delegates to political con-
vention. The delegates were treated
in a hospitable way and everything
was done to make it pleasant for them.
Defiance may well feel proud of its
beautiful opera house, and the evil
dences of prosperity on every hand
in and around the city.

Talking Through His Hat.

The correspondent of the Blade
who attended the congressional con-
vention at Defiance last Thursday
was evidently talking through his
hat when he reported that Judge
Donnelly was knitting Hon. D. D. Dono-
van, for there is not semblane of
truth in what he reported. Mr.. Dono-
van had no more loyal support at De
fiance than that which Judge Donnel-
ly gave him, for he labored early and
late for the success of the candidate
from Henry county. Had there been
more men as loyal to Donovan as
JudgeDonnelly was, scattered through
the other counties in the district, sue
cess would have been assured.

Third Termism Accomplished 1t.


The Democrats of Henry county al
most to man regret exceedingly the
defeat of Hon. d. d. Donovan for a
renominationf for Congress at Defiance
last week, but accept the situation
good naturedly as the result of the
ups and dows of politics and political
conventions.
In two proceeding conventions Mr..
Donovan had been victorious-th
first at Defiance in 1890, when the
nomination was given him after one
of the hottest fights in the history of
conventions in this part of the State,
andthe second at Bryan in 1899, where
he had no opposition, the nomination
being accorded him for faithful SER
vices at Washington during his first
term, rendered not only to his party
but to his constituents generally, he
being reelected by large majority.
But at the convention at Defiance last
week third termism stared him in the
face, and that was the main lever his
opponents used against him and which
ultimately brought about his defeat.
To be sure, there were other minor
issues used against him, such as dis
satisfaction always consequent upon
the distribution of patronage which
Congressmanh has to bestow, and which
is SO limited in proportion to the ap-
plications for positions, that its dis
posal, no matter where it may fall, or
who may be the lucky ones, is always
sure to leave numerous sore sports,
which can only be healed by the dis
appointed venting their spite when
opportunity affords.
That opportunity was given at De-
fiance and the time was we'll improv-
ed, but it took eight ballots to over
throw Mr.. Donovan, who made a
gallant and upright fight, but the
odds were against him and good
man went down to make room for
one as equally ambitious, and one
who all Democrats hope will make as
clean record during his sojourn at
Washington as that made by the
Hon. ID. ID. Donovan during his four
years in Congress.

BERLIN MANNERS.
Customs That Proved Rather DJortifying to
Two American Girls.


Customs That Proved Rather 1Iortifying to
Two American Girls.
Two young girls were made miserable
by an unwritten law which laid me low
not long ago, writes lady correspond
ent in Berlin, They were calling upon
German women, and as they entered the
room they saw that the least comfort
able seat was the sofa, where they natu-
rally seated themselves One after an
other of the older women surveyed them
until they became intensely uncomfort-
able, not knowing what dire accident
could possibly have befallen them At
last the hostess rose majestically, say
ing:
young ladies, will you be SO kind as
to get up and give your seats to these
older ladies?"
The poor things were crushed. My
own encounter with the sofa regulation
was funnier than it was crushing. /
went to musicale given by countess.
Two daughters of titled houses had been
cordial in their overtures, and was
having beautiful time watching little
differences Of manner and wondering If
all young women were expected to
courtesy and kiss the hands OF married
women, as my vis-a-vis was doing. As
the evening wore on I concluded what
we'll bred people were, after all, the
same everywhere. When supper was an
nounced, there was slight confusion in
the placing of the guests, and I found
myself in smaller room with few
others, among them the most important
woman of the assembly. The table had
been drawn to a sofa, and there is where
made my mistake My new friend,
the countess daughter, rnotioned me to
the sofa, which seemed the best solu-
tion of the ENHANCEMENT into which our
hostess had led US in moment of furry,
for German does not approach the ease
and surety of an American hostess. AT
the same time the woman Of Importance
took seat on the sofa ALSO As she ap-
parently spoke neither English nor
French, and as | had not been here long
enough to have acquired fluency in Ger
man, her attempt at conversation was
soon given up.
When our hostess came to see If we
were all happy our lady Of Importance
asked who was, and on receiving q
whispered reply sat up very straight and
threw herself back on the sofa, exclaim-
ing, "Ah mais c'est trop!' Twas seized
with a horrible fear that my hostess
had told her that was an American
reporter, and I was intensely uncomfort'
able in spite Of my companions friend
illness. After that the great lady was
very stiff, and fear | was even sitter.
Looking again to see If she had tainted,
I saw her calmly eating with her knife
and no longer felt uncomfortable. Ii she
scorned me for any reason, | certainly
should be ashamed Of her tiny own ta
| BILE. + learned several days later from
an American woman versed in German
