 LIFELESS BODIES |. Hartman and Wife Grow DeSpondent on Honeymoon AND END THEIR TROUBLES Bride Had Been an Actress Under the Stage Name of Rose vloIet-sup-
 posed to Have Been Run
 away Marriage.
AND END THEIR TROUBLES

Chicago, June 10.-Side by side, each with bullet wound in the temples, the dead bodies of L. Hartman and his wife were found in their bed at the Great Northern Hotel this evening The room showed no evidence of a struggle, both lifeless forms were composed, the cover ing of the bed well tucked about them, but the revolver clutched in the right hand of the husband told the story of the double tragedy.
 Of the pair that courted death so suc- cessfully nothing is known by the mana gers of the hotel beyond a report that the man has wealthy connections in New York and that the woman apparently was once an actress under the stage name of Rose Violet. From information given by a woman who inquired for them this morning 1t is supposed that the case Is one of runaway marriage with death as the result of despondency over the obduracy of an unforgiving father.
 Hartman and his wife registered at the hotel on June 6. giving their address as New York Both were stylishly dressed and appeared to be persons of means. They did not mingle with the other guests and spent most of the time in their rooms. They were reserved in manner, but from the evidences of affection they displayed 1t was surmised by attaches of the hotel that they were on their wedding trip.
 Early Sunday night they retired to their apartments and nothing was seen of them until this evening when they were found dead in bed.
 The chambermaid tried to gain en- trance to the room in the forenoon but was unable to do so. Later in the day she repeated the attempt with the same re- suit Repeated knockings failed to ob- tain an answer and the hotel office being notified, the room was broken into tonight and the discovery was made of the double tragedy.
 Son of Wealthy Merchant.
 The woman who called this morning said Hartman was the son of wealthy New Yorker and that he had formed an attachment that had displeased his father. A clandestine marriage was followed by departure from Chicago without the knowledge of the angry parent. A recon ciliation was being effected by friends, and she charged Manager Roth not to lend the man money, as he would be talk en care of financially by the elder Hart man. The woman gave no name.
 At midnight 1t was learned that the dead woman was INse Lesebre, a variety actress The father of the dead man is said to be a wealthy tobacco dealer in business in New York.
 From the position of the woman's body 1t is thought by the physicians that she was killed while asleep by her husband.
 The unknown caller told Manager Roth that the young man had drawn on his father through a Chicago bank last week and it is thought that this fact afforded the means by which the runaway couple were located by their friends.
 Hartman was apparently between 2S and 30 years of age. His complexion was sal low, his hair dark, height medium. The woman was about 25 years of age and was small with complexion of blonde.

pianist, Miss Lulu Hopping. The
league has accomplished great deal
of work during the past year, which
is appreciated not only by members of
the Methodist Church but by the en-
tire community.
The principal topic of conversation
in this place at the present time is
whether or not the town shall be
lighted by electric lights. and if so,
whether or not the Borough should
own the plant. At the last regular
meeting of the Council two estimates
were submitted: the first was for a
complete plant including addition to
pumping station, eighty-four horse
power engine, a dynamo capable of
generating 1900 volts, seven miles
of poles and wires and $50 thirty
two candle power lamps complete
ready for turning on light for the
sum of $19, 800.
The Summit Electric Light Com
pany will furnish 200 thirty two
candle power lamps at SIG. 60 each a
year, the Borough to furnish poles
and wires, which it is estimated would
cost 5000 more. 1t is thought that at
least 81, 500 year would be realized
from private users of electricity in
the Borough.
The introduction of an ordinance
providing for issuing bonds for SIS. 900
for lighting the Borough with cleo
tricity confirms the opinion that it
will own it's own plant.
