FRANK HEPBURN'S WIDOW
Claims She Was Not Allowed to At
tend His Funeral

Claims She Was Not Allowed to At
tend His Funeral.
st. Joseph, Mo-, Sept. 23.-When
the body of Frank Hepburn, the son
of Congressman Hepburn, of Clarinda,
passed through this city, from Ches-
ter, Ark, where he was murdered
last Sunday, it was not generally
known that his wife took the same
train from st. Joseph and acompa-
MED the remains to Clarinda, but
such is the fact.
For some months Mrs. Cora Hep
burn has been living at the home of
Mrs. Elizabeth Washington, on Ed
mond, between Ninth and Tenth
streets, and when the news came of
the death of Frank Hepburn she be-
came frantic with grief. Learning
that the remains were to pass
throug here on Wednesday, she ap-
peared at the station and boarded
the train on which was the casket in
charge of her husbands father.
She returned from Clarinda yester-
day heartbroken. She said she did
not attend her husbands foneral,
having been refused permission to do
so by her husbands father. But she
did get one last look at his face be-
fore he was buried, this only being
allowed on her promise not to attend
the funeral.
Mrs. Hepburn says she was married
to Frank Hepburn last October, in
Minneapolis, MINI. He was a wild
over, with boy Is years of age, and
she was a widow, having been di-
vorced, and being the mother of lit
tie girl 8 years of age. Mr.. Hep
burn, she says, was 40 years old,
and she some years younger. His
family did not recognize her as his
wife, and they demanded to see her
marriage certificate. She says they
had strenuously opposed the marriage
Hepburn, who was a railroad engi
neer, left last March and went to hunt
work. On the day of his death, last
Sunday, she says, she received q let
ter from him, dated at Chester, Ark.
| in which he expressed his love and told
her he hoped soon to have her will
him. She feels deeply the fact tina
| she could not attend the funeral, bu
| says she will finally satisfy his PEG
pie of her right to have done so.
Mrs. Hepburn is nice-looking
/ pleasant-appearing little woman. Sh,
will claim her rights, she says, anC
show that she is entitled to full con
sideration as Frank Hepburn's wild
ow. She says he carried several thou
sand dollars insurance in her favor
and she proposes to have it.

RESULT OF THE SILVER CRAZE
Six Hundred Workingmen Thrown
Out of Employment.

Six Hundred Workingmen Thrown
Out of Employment.
st. Louis, Sept. 23.-"We have clos
ed our mills indefinitely and will sure
ly not resume until after the cleo
tion,' said ID. A. Merriman, of the
Consolidated Steel and Wire compa-
ny. This company's works cover
four acres of ground and some 600
men are employed there.
"A combination of circumstances
has led to this" continued the gentle
man. 'First of all, there is not trade
enough to warrant our running the
mills now. Everybody is awaiting
the outcome of the present political
campaign. This is clearly indicated
by the rletters we receive every day.
The company is sound and in a posi-
ton to lend 100000 if called on to do
so, but we do not feel warranted in
continuing the business until we know
the result of the election. Our col
lectiOns have been splendid, but the
letters contain such significant state
ments, as one received yesterday
from a merchant in Iowa, who said:
The farmers out here all want free
silver, but if they get it they will
be busted sure | do not care to put
this matter too strongly, as l wish to
avoid giving offense to any one, The
cyclone blew down our nail mill, and
then we had fire that did a great
deal of damage. We have started
to rebuild the structures and now
have the patchwork completed and
are ready for the roof. However
we can not install our machinery and
get the building ready for occupancy
inside of thirty days, and then we
will not care to start for sixty days
more
This financial agitation has made
it impossible to tell what will be the
state of our business after November,
and we intend to make haste slowly.
In any event, the price Of our product
will go higher after the election. /
think this is true, no matter which
party is victorious, but l will add
that if free silver wins it will surely
be a long time before we know where
we are "a"
AS Mr.. MerTiman was talking the
alley leading to the cashiers window
was filled with employees drawing
their wages. Look at those men
now" he said. 81 heard one big ne
gro say, Use for free siber, honey,
and you bet that's what ais dis mig
gah.' That is a fair sample of the
intelligence manifested by a good
many of the men who have taken up
with this silver craze. They know
no more about finance than does that
colOred man. They are told a lot of
stuff about sound money men all being
bOndholders and capitalists and they
are Immediately 'agin' them. The
demand for our goods has been light
for some time, and we have enough
on hand to supply the trade for two
or three months so we can afford to
await developments"

E. j. Fisher has returned from

tended the convention Of National

in the habit of throwing out his

(more or less), and, like all promi.

AND THE EARTH TREMBLED.

RUMBLE OF THE ELEMENTS
HEARD FOR MILES AROUND
SEVERAL BUILDINGS DAM
AGED.
The city of Wilmington has always
been considered a lucky place in which
to dwell, being singularly free from
many of the disastrous storms and cas-
ualties which devastate many other
towns.
Yesterday afternoon, however, Will
mington was visited by a slight earth
quake The shock was felt through
the city about 2.49 o'clock and lasted
thirty seconds.
The walls of Grace NJ. e. Church
we're split, and several OF the granite
stones must be replaced. The walls Of
the residence of Dr. A. E. Frantz, on
Delaware avenue, were also split When
the shock came. the first conclusion
was that some Of the DUPONT powder
mills had exploded. but a telephone
message to the works brought back the
information that no explosion had oc-
Cured. This settled the DUPONT mat
ter, and everyone concluded that VIII
mington had experienced an earth
quake.
The shock was more perceptible in
and about the centre of the city. In
the vicinity OF Eighth and Market
streets the shock was very heavy, and
several business men ran out of their
stores to learn what was the matter
The earth's trembc was plainly felt in
the vicinity of Seventh and West
streets also.
The earthquake appeared to come di-
rectly from the north, and the most
severe shock was felt by the residents
of Brandywine village.
The last earthquake shock which Wis
tied Wilmington was on October 81
1895. The shock prior to that was on
April 81, 1856, when Charleston, S. c.,
was wrecked.
A telephone message received at the
Evening journal Office last night
stated that in Mill Creek hundred the
earthquake created much alarm. At
Centreville, Del, several houses were
so badly shaken that glass fell from
windows into the streets The whole
thing was at once attributed to powder
mill explosions.
