Ia Memory of Mrs. K. J. VILLA ms,

"a Memory of Mrs. K. J. Villa ms.
When our hearts are full of sorrow,
and at the mention of some dear one
who has gone on before, we feel crushed
and grief-stricken, how poorly do
words express our sense Of loss and
the tribute we would offer. So in the
death of Mrs. Williams we can only
feel that our loss cannot be told, but is
deeply felt in each heart and each life.
Our circle has been broken. Death
has reached out his ominous hand and
plucked from our midst one of our
brightest and best. The loss that our
Cosmos Club has suffered must be
keenly felt, for as club member Mrs.
Williams was all that d woman should
be having the best interests OF our club
always at heart, lending herself to
every helpful movement suggested,
ready to do her part not only cheerful
ly, but in such = way that we spoke of
her with pride and held her as one of
our most valued members. Now her
place among us is vacant. and we shall
miss her. We shall miss her ready
sympathy and quick appreciation and
the bright, wise spirit that she always
brought TO club councils or studies
We shall miss her warm hand clasp
and her kind words of praise and en-
couragement. Those of us who had
the privilege Of knowing Mrs. Williams
not only as a club member but as q
friend. may we'll feel that. we have
suffered double loss for her friendship
was thing to be priced. Hers was a
noble. well-rounded character, well
nigh faultless in all the relations oil
life-loving, unsellish, self-sacrifcine
ever unconscious of and depreciating
her own worth. Toher friends out.
side of our club circle and to her OWE
family We would GLADLY speak some
word of comfort. Perhaps this ex
preston of our affection. for her and
the tenderness with which we shall
cherish her memory, may bring some
measure of pleasure. Among our
selves. we feel that we shall not for
get her. The memory of her beautiful
life is our legacy, and this eur frs,
loss will bind us closer together.
Tho she has gone, her influence will
remain toguide us. pointing always t.
the better way. For such 4 life as hers
There is no death, only a transition. ,
We know that for her 'salfis WELL.

j. Frank HanIy ON the Situation-Cor-
ridOr Gossip.

j. Frank Hanly was at the Denison last
night and said he could only reiterate his
former protestation that he would not &C
cept the governorship or any other office
at present in the gift of the people He
said he felt it more and more necessary
that the Republican party should define
its true position against trusts, as there
was reason to believe that the Democrats
intended to make an issue Of condition
which was really as greatly deplored by
the Republicans as by the Democrats.
He said, however. it was his opinion that
the free-sliver issue would again be the
paramount. one of the Democratic party
and that Bryan would be nominated He
said there was no reason to doubt that the
Republicans of Indiana would win in the
coming election, and he was as ready and
willing as ever to serve in the ranks wher-
ever he was needed He regards the cleo
ton of Senator l.. p. Newly to the lieu
tenant governorship as assured and says
he has personal assurances that many
districts remote from Senator NeWby
home Will be solidly for him.

The report that the Boston & Maine
Railroad is seeking to lease the Fitchburg
Railroad is confirmed. President Tuttle. of
the former road, declines to discuss the
matter. 1t is understood the proposed lease
calls for 5 per cent. rental and Is depend
ent In a measure upon the success Of the
Fitchburg in obtaining traffic guarantee
from the New York central. 1t has hither-
to been taken for granted that If the
Fitchburg were leased it would be to the
New York Central. The opposition of the
F'itchburg to the leasing of the Boston &
Albany on the present terms takes on
new aspect. BY the acquisition of the
Fitchburg the Boston & Maine would OBJ
tain direct Western connections and would
to great extent nullify the competition of
the Rutland road. This latter road was
taken over by the Vanderbilts some time
ago and when its extension across Lake
Champlafn is completed with the Ogdens-
burg & Lake Champlain IL will become a
competitor of The Central Vermont and
other roads whose freight traffic enters
Boston over the Boston & Maine. The
Rutland traffic is diverted to the Fitch
burg If the Boston & Maine controls the
latter all traffic from the Northwest
would come TO Boston over it's lines. Pre-
ferred stock of the Fitchburg ten
points, to LIS, yesterday.

gagged in case before Judge McMaster in
Room j. 1t was the suit of Mrs. Della
Coyne, a Chicago woman. against her
brother-in-law, George w. Hall, of this
city. Mrs. Coyne is suing her brother-in-
law on account of services performed in
nursing her sister, who died of consumption
in 1896
At that time Mrs. Coyne was Miss Della
Lefingwell. The testimony showed that
while she was living in Chicago she re-
ceived a telegram from her father, sum-
moning her to the bedside of her sister,
who was very low with consumption. Miss
Leffingwell came on at once and remained
with her sister until her death. She now
claims her brother-in-law owes her for
nursing her sister. She is asking the court
to allow her sum in the neighborhood of
$3.50.
Attorney General Taylor, who is conduct
ing the defense for Hail, became involved
in good-natured argument yesterday with
a witness in the case. The witness was an
elderly woman who was telling how shift

I'm Last Message to Legislature.

Governor Mount was seen at the Denison
last night regarding the petition being cir
cuiated asking him to call an extra ses-
sion of the Legislature to take action
against the insurance combinations being
organized. He said emphatically that he
would not call the extra session. although
he had already been asked to do so. be-
cause he did not see the point to be gained
in summoning the General Assembly TO
convene to take action on matter that 1t
had ignored last winter. although its at
tention had been carefully called 10 the
matter In question.
Said he TN my massage to the General
Assembly / called attention 10 the insur-
ance combinations and the probable effects
they would have on the pOple OF the State
but no attention was paid TO the message
and i do not now feel that / would be
justified IN taking any action looking to
an extra session this year.

BREACH-OF-PROMIsE SUIT.
Jerusha Wolfe Dismisses Her Action
Against William N. Browning.

The damage suit of Jerusha Wolfe
against William n. Browning, in which the
plaintiff demanded 5000 for alleged breach
of promise to marry. was dismissed in the
Circuit Court yesterday by the attorneys
for the plaintiff. The suit was brought last
May. Mrs. Wolfe is about sixty-five years
old, and Browning is in the neighborhood
of forty-five. The plaintiff claimed that
Browning had asked her TO marry him, and
then failed to keep his word.
The attorneys say that Browning married
another woman shortly after the suit was
brought. Their client showed no DISPOSE
ton to prosecute the case when she found
that Browning was married, and the suit
was dismissed for want of prosecution.

A CHANGE OF VENUE.
Friction Between Ex-Judge McCray
and Judge Afford Recalled.

A petition was filed in the Criminal Court
yesterday asking for a change of venue
from Judge Afford in the case against
John Turner, a colored man, who is
charged with the murder of his wife. John
F. McCray, who was formerly on the Grim
inal bench, is representing Turner. 1t is
recalled that Judge Afford was deputy
prosecutor during Judge McCray's admin
istration and that there was considerable
friction between these two officials Nc
Cray now concludes that he does not care
to have Judge Afford try the case against
his client. Judge Afford will appoint some
one TO occupy the bench during this trial.
Mrs. Turner met death at her husband
hands last summer. He cut her throat
with razor and she was taken to the hos
pital, where she lived several weeks They
had been separated and Turner assaulted
the woman the evening she returned to
him.
