DIED FROM A BROKEN HEART
Mrs. Jacob Christian Quickly Fol-
lowed Her Husband to the Grave.
He Dropped Dead August "a and Her
Wish to Die Was Granted
Week Later.

L: there can be such a thing as broken
| heart, Mrs. Jacob Christian, colored, lies
dead from it at her late residence, No.
1916 Madison street northwest.
MIS-. CHRISTIAN was the wife of Jacob
Christian, who will be remembered as the
waiter, who, as he was about to leave his
leave his place of employment, Osborne
Hoban's, corner OF Seventh and q streets,
Oh the night OF August "a, dropped dead of
heart disease. Mr.. and Mrs. Christian We're
married in this city twenty y-three years ago,
and, saving their one regret that they
were childless, there was never the slightest
cloud on their domestic horizon.
When her husband was lying dead in their
little parlor, some one inconsiderately took
Mrs. CHRISTIAN, without warning her, down
to see the body. She Immediately fell into
convulsions, and afterward was taken with
nervous prostration, from which, however,
by pure force of will, she rallied suf
ficiently to attend the funeral ON the fol
lowing Thursday.
Immediately on her return from the
mournfu! ceremony she was again pros
trated and took to her bed, never to rise
again. DR.. Gill was called, nut pronounced
it case OF broken heart, and said al he
nervous symptoms.
Day after day Mrs. Christian moaned and
sobhed on her bed, saying in broken tones
to her attendants that now the last tie
which bound her to life had been cut, She
too, wished to be taken away.
Finally Monday last, Just one week after
the death OF her husband, her wish was
granted, and she passed peacefully away
about O'Clock in the afternoon. Her re-
mains, with calm smile OF contentment
still on her face, lie in the parlor OF the
small but well-kept home. where it has
been visited by both white and colored
friends.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Christian were born
in slavery, she in Bladcnsburg, Nd, he
In Richmond, Va. They came TO this city
Just at the close of the war and met at the
house of Mrs. Christians father, Charles
Beckett, who was, for many years stewardof
the Washington jail
Mrs. Christians nearest living relative
is William Beckett, her uncle, who is
coachman for President Cleveland, and
who attended the funeral. which took
place from the Liberty Baptist Church.
Eighteenth ard E streets northwest, at
2 O'Clock this afternoon, under the direc-
tion of the Daughters OF Ruth and the
Galilean Fishermen, OF which orders tha
deceased was a member.
DR.. Edward Willis, Of the Liberty Bap-
tist Church, conducted the services. as

DIVISION is OBJECTED TO
Minority Members of the Rifles
Will Act.
They Employ an Attorney to Take
tion-SOldiers Refuse to Talk.

| A contest will be entered in few days
against the Incorporation anew of the
National Rifles, articles for which We're
filed with the recorder of deeds on Sat
urday Capt. James F. oyster, Lieut.
Joseph Marson, Lieut.. George W. Evans,
and a number of others constituting a
strong minority of the members of the Com
pany have employed an attorney to take
legal action to nullify the new incor-
poration 1t is probable the fight will be
begun by q bill n equity to enjoin the
officials in charge of the property from
turning it over to the new organization
The members who oppose the distribu-
ton OF the property amoug the individual
members as private holdings are reticent.
They declare that they propose to win the
fight, but do not want to talk too much.
The fling of the articles, they say, was
only the first step toward settlement of
the differences between the two factions
The terms of the new articles, giving
each member OF the organization shares or
stock, of the face value of 500, until all
has been equally divided, in itself con-
stitutes a distribution of the property. II
1t is allowed to stand, the purpose OF the
faction that favors individual holding is
accomplished. The articles were nled by
a majority vote, and the members of this
party believe it will stand against all
legal assaults upon 1t.
They assert that 1t is not contest OF
old members with new to protect the in
terests of the public. Lieut.. Manson, accord
ing to thei claims, was one of the first to
propose the distribution, and introduced
the initial resolution for it. The point where
the split came was upon the basis of the
distribution. The old members claimed that
they had done most for the organization
and the erefore ought to have larger share
than the others. They wanted the division
made upon the basis of length of service
lin the company.
WI Ia it was evident that a ma iority pre-
ferred an equal division several of the
olde men yielded, but few who assumed
to control the organization held out stub
bornly, and are now attempting to force
their views upon the majority.
The contest is the leading topic of dis
crssion at the armory, on G street. and
groups OF members can be found at all
leisure hours earnestly discussing it.
1t was agreed at the meeting at which
the filing of new articles of incorporation
was voted that friendly suit Should be
brought i'll order to settle the dispute, and
that no attorney connected with the com
pany should he employed. Mr.. A. A. Hoeh-
ling is the attorney for the majority.
There are in all about flfty-eight active
members in TIE organization, and all but
thirteen OF these agreed to distribution
of the property in equal share3. This would
give nearly $1,000 worth OF stock to
each member.
Six members OF the oo1,pany-Mess
Stewart, Jasper, Ve-milon,s Maddox,
Gasch and Decker-have come in since ad-
mission under the old articles ceased, and
they have no part in the contest or the
property.

 County.

B. F. Walker, constable of Niven township, indicted for the murder of Dan Kerwin, was brought into court this morning, but owing to the absence of on important witness nothing was done until afternoon. At 2 o'clock the court reconvened at which time he was ar raigned and offered his plea of not guilty. His attorneys Messrs. Met l.. and W. D. Jones filed a motion for change of venue. The motion was sustained and the case trans ferred to the Warner district of the Lincoln Circuit court. The date set was August IF.
 Thus the citizens of Lincoln will have to pass upon the guilt or in- nocence of both Walker and Goode who will be tried at the same place only two days later.

Mai White add ressas leffeu upon me in
 the Convention. thus selecting me to preside over your deliberations, and promise, with your assistance, to do justice and protect the rights of each individual member of this convention. 1 ask your aid and CO., operation in this behalf, so that our actions may be accepted by all and that those whose particular views may not be approved by the action of the convention may be able, at least. to say: "We have had a fair chance, and justice has been done us, 7 and that they may accept the dec is ions of this convention as binding upon them-upon the democratic principle that majority must rule. Those who may represent the views held by the majority of the delegates in this convention, I will say, now is the time for you to be generous and magnaninous to your demo- cratic brothers who may hold differ ent views to yourself Give them a fair and impartial hearing and let them understand that while there may be difference between us in our views, they are still our political brothers, and therefore, entitled to a fair hearing-a democratic law.
 This convention meets today under particularly pleasing circumstances. The God of nature has lavished upon this section of his vineyard all the blessings of bright and happy sun shine, and has not blighted us by the destructive cyclone or drouth, and our fields have been made to blossom like the rose, with fiatter- ing prospect of an abundant harvest.
 The news reaches us from every quarter that the great democratic party, which has ever stood for the rights of the people against the classes, is still engaged in that noble warfare, and the all-absorbing question of the free and unlimited coinage of silver is receiving, as 1t should, the support of almost every true and patriotic Democrat in the land.
 So far as the principles of our party are concerned, the nation will have no cause to complain at us for not act ing boldly upon this question, for from the present outlook the Chicago convention will tell the world, in un- mistakable terms, that the great Democratic party wants this great liberty-loving country to be free from all control of other nations in her finances as she is free from their con- trol in all other governmental ques- tions, and that as policy of our government, we want free and un- limited coinage, both of silver and gold as the money of final redemp- ton upon a parity of 16 to l, and with unfhipU lnSa shall ya hQ 2afiQ- fled. I do hope that the Republican party will be as positive in it's decla- ration for the single standard. We have met the policy of the advocates of the gold standard since 1872, and have found that prices of all products, as well as the wages paid to wage earners, have continued to go down. while the price of money
