Sudden Death of Mrs. Fowler,
An Aged Weman.
Marriage of Prominent People
Other News Items of Interest,
By KIOne.

Clardy, Ky, Feb. 23.-Mr. Geo.
B. Mcknight and Miss Ada MeDser
were united in marriage at the home
of the brides parents at this place
Wednesday afternoon, Rev. p. p.
Gladdish officiating. The groom
is one of the wealthiest farmers IN
this end of the country. The bride
is a daughter of our postmaster
Mr.. J. o. Menser. She is very
pretty and very popular in North
Christian society.
Mrs. Sarah Fowler died very
suddenly the same evening. For
some time she had made her home
with her daughter, Mrs. ]. o. Men
ser. She was 81 years of age and
had been very feeble for several
years. She appeared as well as
usual until Saturday night when
she complained that she did not
feel well and was very restless Sat
urday night and Sunday night,
but rested better Monday and Tues
day. Wednesday evening, after
the nuptials, Mr. Menser went to
her bed and asked her what she
would like for supper. She talked
with him, but there was something
unnatural about her manner. Mr..
Menser called his wife to her bed
side and he went to the phone in
tending to notify her children at st.
Charles of her condition, but the
end came quickly and her death
was as peaceful and painless as it
was sudden. Her remains were
laid to rest at Cranor's School
House, just across the Hopkins
county line, yesterday afternoon.
She leaves several grown children
and large circle of friends to
mourn her departure.
We are having a great deal 0

Great Ocean Disaster at The En-
trance of Golden
Gate.

San Francisco, Feb. 24.-The
Pacific Mail Steamer 'Rio de janet
70 ran into hidden rock while en-
tering the Golden Gate early Fri
day morning in a dense fog. She
sank few minutes after striking.
Latest figures place the loss at l28
persons, most of whom were Chi
nese.
The ship was in command of Pr
lot Frederick Jordan when it struck.
He was rescued. Capt. VIM. Ward
went down with his vessel.
The most prominent passenger
was bonneville Wildman, United
States Consul at Hong Kong, who
with his wife and two children was
drowned.
Most of the bodies of the victims
will never be recovered.
The water where the ship lies is
deep and the current swift, and the
dead with most of the wreckage will
probably be carried far out into the
Pacific.
The number of lives lost may
never be known, owing to the fact
that the ships records were lost
and tits impossible to tell how many
Chinese were in the Asiatic steer
age. The Call, this morning says
that l22 persons persisted; the
Chronicle gives the number at 1913
and the Examiner states that Ill
cannot be accumulation. The ves-
sci with its cargo will be a total
loss.

DEADLY DRAUGHT.
Miss Monte PrOwse Swallows
a Fatal Dose.
Mysterious Suicide OF Only Daugh-
ter of County Clerk JnO.
p. Prowse.

Miss Monte Prowse, only daugh-
ter of County Clerk John p. Prowse,
committed suicide at au early hour
Sunday morning.
At S o'clock she arose and after
taking bath dressed herself in
some of her best clothes, and then
going into the room of her brother,
Charles o. Prowse, awakened him
and told him quietly that she had
taken carbolic acid.
"Why did you do it?" her brother
asked, as he sprang from his bed
to call their parents.
II COULDN'T HELP 1T. IAN
GOING TO SEE FRANK" was
the reply and these were the last
words she spoke.
Seeing a deathly pallor on her
face, Charlie Prowse gently put his
arms around her and laid her upon
the bed from which he had Just
arisen.
Before Mr.. and Mrs. Prowse
could reach the room, she was un-
conscious and in the agonies of
death. Nearby physicians were
hastily summoned, out nothing
could be done, and Miss Prowse
died at six o clock.
The quantity Of the drug she
drank was enough to produce GER
den death. She drank it from
cup and her mouth was badly
burned while she drank. 1t was
horrible and necessarily fatal dose.
The Frank referred to IN her last
words was her older brother, Frank
%. Prowse, who, while a soldier in
Georgia in 1893, was taken sick and
died Jan. IL, 1899. She was very
much attached to her older brother
and had never ceased to mourn his
death. 1t is said she would go into
the parlor alone and talk to his
picture on the wall. Her general
health almost gave way under the
nervous strain, but OF late she had
been growing better, and on last
Wednesday night attended a card
party and was among the gayest of
the gay young people present. No
one dreamed that she was even
then in the shadow of death.
She was in her usual health Sat
urday night when she went to her
room.
The suppositlon is that she be
came mentally unbalanced from
acute melancholia and decided
during the night to end her
troubles and proceeded as above
detailed.
Miss Prowse was about twenty
years of age, and was a strikingly
handsome young lady. Tall and
imposing in appearance, with a
wealth of dark red hair, regular
features and an intelligent, ANNA
ted face she lwas girl of more
than ordinary attractions, and the
idol of her doting parents.
The family had just moved into
an elegant new home, Mr.. Prowse
is again the nominee of the Republi-
can party for reelection as clerk,
and bright future seemed to be
before his accomplished daughter.
The entire family, crushed with
grief, have the sympathies of the
whole community.
The funeral services will be held
this afternoon, having been de-
ferred to await the arrival of an
aunt from Washington City.
