LIES TRAGEDY.
Young Henry Freeman Takes His
Own Life.

Madison, Sept. q.
A very painful shock TO the COM
munity was that given Monday morn
ing by the announcement that Henry
b. Freeman, youngest son OF Prof. j.
G.. Freeman, of the chair of English
literature in the university, had taken
his life. The young man, not yet 19
and so far as known without a Sc
riouS care, was as light as
usual Sunday, sought the companion
ship of his intimates and to none gave
any intimation of the terrible tragedy
so soon 10 occur. 1t is true, having
finished his high school course and
about to enter the university this
very week, he had now and then ex-
pressed some misgiyings as to his flu
ture there,-bu indeed few young
people approach that institution with
out some feeling of awe. He had
gone through the high school in a
manner most creditable to himself and
his friends looked for him to have a
brilliant career during his later life as
student. Now that he is gone, his
ldlIiel anu oioltiS lttdi. Will sweet
sorrow that when he Dada them good
night soon after IL Sunday evening,
there was an unusual warmth and ten
! derneSs in his manner From that
touching adieu he went straight to his
room and, without undressing, laid
| himself upon the bed, face down upon
a sponge saturated with chloroform
in shallow basin. There his father
found him. life long ex-
tinct and the body cold,
between 1880 and O'Clock Mon
day morning. The boy had always
been highly sensitive ana was, his
young companions say, subject to Pc
riods of depression. There was, how
ever, no trouble over which he brood
ed so far as they knew, and his sad
act dumbfounds them all. He was
very POPULAR fine, mpanionable
fellow of the best morals, always up
right, always loyal to his friends, of
whom he had very many in the happy
circle just past the high school age.
Besides the father, two sisters and a
brother, all older than himself, are
left at home with a sorrow whose
depth only they can realize.

Monday morning the official eXnuma-
ton of the remains OF Columbus took

ties included in the Cuban budget a
large sum for the purpose of erecting
a fitting monument symborzing the
travels of the diSeoverer to be
placed in a most conspicuous place in
Havana, and the construction Of a
mausoleum to hold the ashes. This
mausoleum, the work Of the Spanish

the cabinet Monday, all the ministers

in favor of a revision OF the trial Oh

The cabinet ordered the minister OF
iustice, NJ. Sarrien, to lay before the
court of cessation the petition OF MAD
anne Dreyfus, wife OF tine prisoner Oh
Devils island for revision OF her
husbands case The court, therefore
will decide the legal question as to
whether the first trial of Capt Drey-

mitted by the late Lieut.. Col. Henry,
who was a witness before the court

forged a document in the case.

into a violent passion and declared
officially that the ministers ought to
credit him with understanding all

him now by refusing a revision 1t

Gov. Black will not go into the con-
vention. His friends are urging him
to do so, but up to this time he stout
ly maintains that it would not be dig
nified. One of the first who called on
Depew was Senator Plat. The gov
ernor cordially received Depew. The
fact that the platform will endorse
Blacks administration is indicative of
good feeling The platform will en-
dorse the administration of Governor
Black and review the proceedings Of
the last two sessions of the republican
legislature. Beyond that the platform
will not deal with state issues, but
will chiefly touch questions of nation

Democrats Gathering
Syracuse, n. Y, Sept 27.-Many

Robert c. Titus of Erie was among
the first to be launched. Mayor J. K.
McGuires friends are naturally nu-
merous and enthusiastic in his home
town. All of the Tammany delega-
ton have not yet arrived but there
is a sufficient number here to keep
the talk of Mayor Van Wyck's can
didacy before the people. His chances,
however, received a setback last
night when the members OF the Erie
county delegation announced that
Croker had stated to them that the
candidate for governor would not be
named from territory south of Albany.
The first gubernatorial candidate to
arrive here was Congressman William
Sulzer. The next was John b.
Stanchfeld of Elmira. No on at this
time dares to predict the nominee for
governor.

The officers al work on the case say
they do not believe that Kennedy was

work, but they believe he planned it
and knew those who did do It. Chief
Hayes does not hesitate to say that
the men who Lave done nearly all the
robbing around Kansas City i've in

net more gain to the thieves than the
express companies have ever acknowl-
edged When the wrecked and bat

Oshkosh people are interested in an
action that has just been commenced
in New York by a former well-knowu
Oshkosh woman. The parties to the
action are Adelaide NJ Merriman and
John w. Merriman. In 1882 Mr..
Merriman, then a young man twenty
five years of age, who was travelling
salesman for the wholesale house of
+. J. Sorg q Co. of Chicago, became
enamored of beautiful young widow
OF Oshkosh, whose acquaintance he
had formed while on his journeys to
that city. 1t was a case of requited
love on the part of both parties, and
at Z o'clock in the morning of August
80. 1882, Mr. Merriman and the charm
ing widow, Mrs. Charles Overton
were married by Rev. Kerr c. Ander-
son, pastor of the First Congrega-
tional church. Mrs. Overton was the
widow of Charles Oyerton. who kept
a saloon. The couple first resided in
Chicago then went to New York
where Merriman has an income of
$4,000 year. Ten months ago Mer-
rinan under the loose divorce laws
of North Dakota, was granted decree
of divorce from his wife. Now the
latter has taken a hand in the pro-
cecdngs by disregarding the decree
and has had Merriman arrested in
an action which she has begun for a
separation on the grounds of abandon
ment and failure to support.
