WERE READY
FOR HONEYMOON
When Bride Died Who Had

OWED HIS LIFE TO HER
Married When He Was
Thoughtto be Dying.

New York, Dec 26-"We are very
happy and are looking forward to our
honeymoon
Less than five months ago Mrs. Edith
Wyman Rodman said this as she stood
by the bedside of her newly-wed hus-
band, who owed to his life to the unre-
hitting care and tenderness of his bride
while he was i'll of scarlet fever
Now death has claimed the bride. She
will be buried tomorrow from Presbyter-

day. She was stricken with an incurabie
malady before her husband, DIR. II. Rod
man, had fully recovered from his Illness.
Edith Wyman and DR.. Rodman Were
sweethearts four years ago. Their mar
riage did not take place until July 10
last. At that time DR.. Rodman was i'll
IN Richmond. Va, and believed that he
was dying. He summoned Miss Wyman
and begged that the marriage take place.
A few relatives of DR.. Rodman were no.
titled to be in attendance in the sick
chamber in the jefferson hotel in Rich
mond. The pathetic scene drew tears 20
the eyes of all the bridsI party. Braveiy
the bride bore up under the trying or
deal as physician stood by the side of
her loved one to administer restoratives
while H. uttered the marriage vows.

said Once before she had rescued him
from the shadow of death. That was
when they first met in Bellevue hospi-
tai, where she was a nurse and he a
young physician. He was stricken in the
hospital and for days she watched Over

the credit was due her for his recovery.

the love which was later to be proved.

GOOD EXPORT MOVEMENT
Railroads not Able to Garry

New York. Dec. aS.-R. G. Dunn & Co.'S
weekly review of trade tomorrow will
say:
Trade and speculation experienced the
| customary holiday quiet. except in Christ
mas goods, which sold freely, many pack
ing and shipping departments being still,
engaged on this class OF work which
could not be accepted at the specified
time Industrial undertakings are inter
rupted in many cases by the taking Of
inventories, while other plants are closed
because fuel cannot be obtained. Orders
still come forward freely and the new
year will open with more business on the
books than ever before. Prices of COM
nodities are firmly held by the steady do
nestle demand and there Is a good export
movement of the leading staples. In this
4 as in many other instances. however,
there is still the drawback of inadequate
transportation facilities which restrict
shipments TO the seaboard. Financial con-
ditions are satisfactory. Railway earn
ings thus far this month surpass last
year by per cent and those of 1870 by IL s
per cent.
Quiet conditions in the iron and steel
weakness testify 10 the healthy tone and
suggest a bright outlook for the coming
year. Furnaces and mills will extend the
season of idleness beyond the usual time

The situation in regard TO the shipments
from Connelsville has not improved. A
very large amount of business carried
over into next probably more than In
any previous season. New contracts have
come forward more slowly of late. mainly
because of the uncertainty as TO date OF
delivery. although there are prospective
purchasers who still anticipate better
terms in 1905. Foreign pig iron is offered
slightly below domestic quotations but
neither imported nor home made iron is
available for imemdiate use in large guam
titles. Independent steel mills claim they
are unable to pay present prices for bill

shipment.

Aged Woman, Found on the
Street at Midnight, Search
ing for Her Boy
HAS BEEN DEAD FOR YEARS
Decisions of an Unbalanced Mind Lead
Mrs. BarnhiII to Wander About the
Streets, ThinIy Clad, Until Found by
Man Who Turned Her Over to Police.
PLACED in Jail for Developments.

Shortly before midnight Friday MI
George NJ. Lyon, while in the west part
of the city, found, wandering about the
streets, a thinly clad, aged woman by
the name Of Barnhill. who claimed TO De
seeking her lost son. Mr.. Lyon ques-
toned her and soon learned that her
how had been dead for several years.
She had started out to find him, how
ever, and nothing that he could say
would content the poor creature, who
seemed assured in her own feeble mind
that if she looked long enough she could
find him.
Mr.. Lyon realized that the cold night
air would soon chill the woman, per-
haps so severely that serious results
might follow. He took her in charge,
upon the pretense that he would assist
her in looking for her boy, and in that
way succeeded in reaching the city
building without arousing her suspi-
cion. Here she was turned over to the
police, who placed her in jail to await
Developments.
Mrs. Barnhill lives in the southwest
ern part of the city. Her husband, it is
understood, is member of the Soldiers
Home. She has been married twice,
and her son, for whom she yearns. was
Walter Burnett, who was drowned
about twelve years ago in Linn creek
This with other troubles and i'll health
has driven the mother insane.
Mrs. Barnhill is still in jail and Will
remain there until some action can be
taken, or until 1t is known that she is
in such condition that she can care
for herself, or be placed in the hands -
friends. If not she will probably be
given a hearing before the commits
sioners, or be sent to the county farm
The case is particularly sad.

TWO BAD DEPARTMENTS
Iowa Central Freight Trains, Extra No.
"A and Second 90, DeraiIed at Points
South, Putting Thirty-one Cars Into
the Ditch-Traffic Considerably De-
layed, but Damage Is Small.

The Iowa Central had two derail-
ments of considerable size on it's hands
Friday, resulting in considerable dam
age to rolling stock and delay to traffic.
Extra freight No. A, pulled by en-
gines Al and As. was derailed at a point
about two miles west Of Wayland at
$40 Friday night. Sixteen freight
cars left the track, a few of them being
considerably damaged. Only part of
the cars were loaded, but it was neces-
sary to transfer their contents before
they could hs picked up. The derail-
ment occurred at a new fill and it is
presumed this was responsible for the
wreck. Traffic on the eastern division
was delayed for several hours before
the track could be cleared.
Second No. 80, in charge Of Conductor
Sam Deyea and drawn by Engineer
Charles Houcks, was derailed in the
first cut south of Lacey, where the
company has had so much trouble dur
ing the past summer. The accident oc-
Cured at a point about 500 yards south
Of the Lacey depot. The engine and
tank left the track, taking with them
fifteen cars. Traffic was greatly inter
fered with, passenger No. ., due mere
at 4.55, not arriving until III O'CLOCK
THE damage to the rolling stock was
onlv slight. The wrecking outfit was
taken south from this city in charge OF
Conductor Con- Wilson and Engineer
Dave Conger.

the engine reached the crossing just
about the time the alarm was sent in.
1t was only the work of moment for
the horses to arrive at the gates, but
they could go no further until the en-
tire train had passed. Fortunately the
crew was not needed and barely reach
ed the scene of the blaze when the
alarm rang out" The instance only
goes to show, however, that there might
be time when a delay of five minutes
would mean great deal, and that some
remedy for the difficulty will have TO
be sought
The Company Fl matter Is finally set
tied and Marshalltown, in a few days,
will be without military company.
While general regret is expressed there
seemed at this time nothing feasible
that could be presented whereby the

furnishing suitable quarters for an
armory. The company stands we'll,
however, with the adjutant general,
despite the fact that SO little interest
was manifested in drills that it fell be-
low the required standard. 1t may be
that at some future time, when the
advantages of military organization
become more apparent, and an armory
is forthcoming, this city can again be
represented in the guard. Vacancies
are liukely to occur in the regiment and
If they should it is more than likely
Marshalltown could be reinstated.
The fact that the city has lost her pres
ent company, which bears the name of
her Spanish-American war organiza-
ton, has caused more or less unenvia-

where the facts are not clearly under

liberality of Mr.. C. c. Millhiser, VINO
owned the land necessary to be secured,
and on which the factory is being erect
ed. Mr. Millhiser gave the club, With
out any charge, two and one-quarter
acres, and sold the remainder at regu-
lar acreage prices. While he was in
position to "hold up the club, he was
sufficiently interested in the welfare OF
the city and securing new business en-
terprises to make the donation. Mr..
Millhiser's kindness was the more APP
preciated because of the fact that the
club tried to interest number OF oth-
er large property holders, who refused
to have anything whatever to do with
the project.
Now that the pottery plant matter Is
out OF the way Secretary Sears will go
to work with the idea of closing the
new insurance proposition, which will
also be good thing for Marshalltown.
Those having the matter in charge are
