The appalling catastrophe In Paris

There Is n young woman in Dayton.
Ohio, who was In love with Scott Jack
son, the murderer of Pearl Bryan
There was a young man In the same
town who was In love with the young
woman. The young man no longer Is.
He called on the young woman the
other night and presented his ultImn-
tum. The young woman scorned him.
Her loyal heart was In the grave OF
Jackson. She could not think Of loving
a common fellow who had never killed
anybody. The Tilted one determined to
make himself eligible. so he went into
a nelghboring stone quarry and blew
himself TO pieces with dynamite cart
ridge. II Is not related whether the
young woman has now consented TO
love him. Whether she has or NOT the
experience Of using dynamite to make
n breach In a marble heart cannot be
