p years old. and his bride of 10. as they
parted from friends after church service
last night They were found dead this
morning on a bench in the public park.
Each had been shot through the temple and
the hand Of tho young man still held a
heavy pistol from which the two shots had
been fred.
1t was through death that they gave out
their marriage. The bride had lived with
her parents and was known as Miss Daisy
Blyderburg. It has been discovered through
letter left by Belts that they were mar
ried last June
Tho reason for the tragedy Is hard to
find The families Of the young people
were on friendly terms and no obstacle had
been placed in the way Of their courtship>
Bettis's parents are well-to-do and his pros
poets In life were bright. Both were active
In social and church matters After attend
ing the Presbyterian Church last evening
the young couple walked home with some
friends. The young woman, who was an
accomplished musician. played on tho plano
for a few minutes for the pleasure Of
friends at her home.
The couple passed the Phoenix Hotel
about IL o'clock. and Bettis handed q note
to the clerk. Greyson Paddock. with the re-
mark, IF you knew what that contained
you would be astonished."
1t was addressed to his parents ard
Greyson promised to deliver IL in the morn
ing. 1t was delivered, and was signed
Your loving son, and Daisy. his wife"
which was the first intimation that the
young couple had been married.
Persons in the vicinity Of the public park
heard two shots in quick succession about
midnight.
A pedestrian about 6 O'Clock this MORN
ing saw the couple sitting close together
on q seat beside the soldiers monument in
the park. He thought they were asleep
and started to arouse them. He soon
found that they were dead There Is no
doubt that they had agreed to die together.
The young bride gave assent to the remark
OF Belts when ne said they were going On
a long journey. and evidently she was IA
miliar with the contents Of the letter left
for his parents. In which they asked for
forgiveness for what they were about to do.

CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH INTERESTS.
 The great interest which has been manifested, during the past few months, in the services at the Norfield Congrega- tional church, is increasing each week, judging from the attendance both morn- ing and evening and the great attention and very favorable comment with which the very excellent sermons of it's young During the past few Eweeks the sermons have been of very spiritual nature from New Testament topics, to be followed, as announced on Sunday last, by series of Old Testament subjects, the second of which will be delivered next Sunday morning. Special music under the di- rection of the organist, Mrs Charles Sco- field, has been feature also greatly en- jeyed. The Sunday school under the wise management of it's able superinten- dent, Frank Lane, has increased in at- tendance and interest in manner very gratifying to both officers and teachers. Both church and Sunday school hewev- CT, will greatly miss and most sincerely regret the removal from their midst four of their most valued embers, MT and Mrs Julius s. Lane and George Lane, who, last week, were admitted by letter to membership in the West Congregation al church in Akron, Ohio, and Miss Fler- ence Lane, who has also become 8 mem Der of church in Springfield, Mass. During six years residence in this place. they have ever been most jealous in all good works, aiding in every way, by their presence, their labors and finan- cial support this church of their choice, which together with their many friends in this place will greatly deplore their loss.
