FELL FROM A WINDOW
MRS. ADA sHEA'S SKULL CRUSHED
BY STRIKING THE PAVEMENT.
1t Il Not known Exactly How the Ac-
cident Happened-Husband Not
to Blame.

Mrs. Ada Shea, thirty years old, living
with her husband at 514 East Court street,
jumped from the second-story window of
her home yesterday morning at o'clock
and suffered injuries from which she died
at IL o'clock at the City Hospital. Her
skull was crushed by coming in contact
with the brick pavement. She fell a dis
lance of seventeen feet.
1t was said by neighbors of Mrs. Shea
that she had been drinking heavily for sew
eral days. Mrs. Lizzie Jones, living next
door, said she had been out Wednesday
drinking with Mrs. Shea. The latter, while
intoxicated, told Mrs. Jones that 1.-The am
bulance would haul her away tomorrow"
From this remark Mrs Jones said she
thought Mrs. Shea contemplated killing
herself.
The woman had been sitting near her
window for fully half an hour before she
plunged through it. Several passersby
noticed the woman, and remarks were
made about the possibility of her falling
out. When she made the plunge no one
was about. A small boy riding bicycle
passed shortly afterward and, seeing the
woman lying on the brick pavement, turned
his wheel and rode hurriedly to the City
Dispensary. He also notified the police.
The ambulance, in charge of Dr. Foreman
arrived and took the woman to the hos
pital. Her head was terribly crushed.
After the woman had been taken away
inquiries were made Tor her husband, Matt
Shea. He could not be found, and rumor
had 1T that he had pushed his wife from
the window. Superintendent Taffe ordered
every patrolman in the city to look for
Shea. Detectives Dugan and Lancaster
were sent in search of the man, and found
him shortly after dinner. He was taken to
the police station and closely questioned
as to where he had spent the morning He
said he left home about o'clock and went
to O'Brien's saloon, corner Pearl and Ala
bama streets, across from the police sta
ton. AT o'clock he said he went over to
Police Court, where he remained until III
o'clock. Several witnesses were found who
said they saw Shea in the courtroom. He
was released.

PRETTY IRISH ROMANCE
WILLIAM RUSSELL FOLLOWED HIS
SWEETHEART TO THIS CITY.
Employer. i'm Grace Cathedral-A
Beautiful Bride.

1t was only wee little bit of wedding,
but it had much romance back of it
that the occasion was an unusual one. At
least so thought the small company that
assembled in Grace Cathedral on East Six
tenth street last night at 7:30 o'clock to
witness the marriage of pretty Irish
colleen as ever was sung about in ballad
to fine Irish lad ever crossed the
seas in pursuit of the girl he loved the
best. Eleanor Dougherty was a housemaid
in the employ of a wealthy Irish nobeman
in County Cork, and William Russell was
the gardener adjoining estate. They
met often and fell in love. but, as is
often the case, failed to understand their
true feelings until the time of separation.
Eleanor followed the example OF several
of her girl friends and came to America
two years ago, hoping to make her fortune
in land where wages were higher than
those to which she had been accustomed.
She worked as a housemaid in Boston for
a few months and then came to Indianap-
oils, where she secured employment in the
home of Bishop Francis, of the southern
diocese of the Episcopal Church of Indiana.
FOLLOWED Els SWEETHEART.
A short time ago William Russell, erst-
while gardener and always ardent lover of
Eleanor, turned up in this city William
had learned that absence makes the heart
grow fonder" sure enough, and he had
given up his position in Ireland to follow
the pretty colleen to far-away Indianapolis

William is Of the kind that never will

earnest the counting of his sweetheart, nor
would he take anything but yes for an
answer. And so, at last, Eleanor said yes. -

Bishop Francis himself in his bishops
robes, performed the beautiful Episcopal
marriage ceremony last evening, and the

were presented with flowers by all of the
