SUICIDE OF AN OFFICER
THE GAY HARRISON SISTERS IN
vOLvED IN ANOTHER SCANDAL.
Count Takes His Own
Life Because Miss Ethel Laughed
mt His Protests Of Affection.

BUDA-PESTH Aug. 14-In social and
other circles little else is talked of here to-
day than the romantic suicide and funeral
OF Count Arthur Pallavicini. a lieutenant
Of hussars, who was buried yesterday. The
lieutenant. a handsome young man. only
twenty-one years of age. became greatly
attached 10 Miss Ethel Barrison. one of
the five harrison sisters, the ~well-known
American variety artists, whose doings in
New York and Berlin have attracted some
attention. and whose ~scandalous conduct in
Berlin brought on them an order OF ex-
pulsion from Germany. Count Pallavicini
sought in every way possible 10 induce Miss
Ethel to return his love, but she only
laughed at his protests of affection and
apparently paid no heed to his threats TO
end his life if she did not alter her manner
towards him. On Tuesday Count P~allavi-
cini was found dead. having committed
suicide by shooting himself with a revolver.
In his left hand was a photograph of Miss
Ethel and a slip of paper on which the
unfortunate young man had written: Il
beg Miss Ethel Barrison TO come TO my
coffin and press a kiss upon it."
The strange feature of the case natural
ly aroused much mme which was not
in any way favorable to the American
music hail artist and nobody believed that
Miss Ethel would grant her lovers last
request. But, contrary TO expectations, she
appeared at the funeral yesterday. dressed
in the deepest mourning. The affair has
caused a revival of all the stories in which
the Barrisons nave figured, including the
elopement of one of the sisters with Count
Barnstorf, OF New York. Then it is re-
called that in February last Count Won
Wedel, a young officer in the German army,
was arrested for having pawned jewelry
which he had purchased on in~stallments.
The disclosures which followed showed
that the young man had spent quite a for
tune on the harrison sisters, and then
when his money became exhausted he OBJ
tanned funds in the manner indicated in
order to spend il upon them.

OIL mt Saratoga.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
FARMLAND, Ind, Aug. F years
ago the residents of Saratoga, ten miles
northeast of here. organized a company
and drilled a gas well which proved to be
a good producer and supplied that neigh
borhood with plenty of natural gas for all
practical purposes until recently, when oil
rushed in and almost smothered the sup
ply of gas. This unexpected appearance of
oil created much excitement in that neigh
borhood. which has been greatly augmented
by the appearance of representatives of
three different oil companies who are leas-
ing every foot of land in that vicinity
which they can persuade the land owners
to give up. Each company not only offers
a fair price for the leases, but agrees to
put down wells at once and develop the
country.
