Shamokin, Pa, Sept. %, The bodies
of Arthur W. May, aged "a years, and
Miss Cora Kkseman, aged Is years, both
OF Shamokin, were found in the black
smith shop Of Joseph Smink this morn
ing, May had shot his sweetheart and
then blown out his own brains.
The murderer and suicide was
blacksmith, and up to the time of his
death had been employed by Mr..
Smink. The couple had bsao lovers
for some time, aud last week they had
arranged TO 20 away and be quietly
married. The parents OF the young
woman objected to the marriage. and
this caused a postponement. Being
thus opposed by the parents of the girl,
the young couple evidently made up
their minds to end their troubles by
dying together. They met last night,
and. IL is supposed, made all arrange
ments to carry out their terrible plan.
Tho girl left her home early this morn
ing and went direct to the blacksmith
shop, where, it ia thought, May was 10
waiting. The couple went into The
second story of the building. The first
news of the double tragedy was LEANED
when Mr.. Smink found tho bodies
when be opened his shop. The bodies
we're lying eide by side, and Mays
right hand still grasped an old fashioned
revolver. May had blown the girls
brains out, and then sent n bullet
crashing into his own head. The
bodies we're still warm when found.
| The young couple were devoted 20 each
other. and were almost ipseparable.
