UnofticiaIly Accused Of Killing Former
Member of Illinois Legislator as
Result Of Attentions to Married
Woman, and When Asked Point
Blank, Took His Own life-Owned
Valuable Real Estate in Savannah.

Savannah, ILL.,, May 25.-Much ex-
element prevails here today over the
suicide this morning Of Boutwell, Pull
ford, the wealthiest citizen Of Savan-
nah. The suicide followed an unof-
fetal accusation of Pulford having
slain Judge Berry, a former prominent
member of the Illinois legislature. The
story has been widely circulated that
Berry was killed as a result of atten-
ton paid by him to a married woman
The rumors got so strong, and Pulford
became so associated with them.
that a newspaper reporter this morn
ing called upon him and asked him a
direct question. This so excited Pull
ford that, refusing to answer, he hur-
ried away, climbed to the loft OF the
great barn in which his fine horses are
kept, put a pistol to his head and blew
out his brains. Pulford, besides own
ing the most valuable real estate IN
Savannah, was president of the Com
mercial bank and head Of the electric
lighting system.

Postmaster Beltz, who is the Gus.
todian of the new public building to be
erected here, was this morning handed
copies of letters sent by the acting
supervising architect OF the treasury
department to William II. Maxwell of
Pierre, S. D., accepting his bid for the
construction of the building here. Mr..
BeltZ was informed that the bid had
been accepted, at the net amount OF
$7O,S07, and that he should retain the
copy of the letters until the assign
ment to duty of a superintendent o.
construction and his arrival in Lar
annie, when they are to be turned over
to him to be permanently added to the
files of his Office.
Among the matters in the letter to
Mr.. Maxwell is one relating to the
wall plaster, which specifies hat the
Acme wall plaster, manufactured by
the Acme Cement and Plaster com
pany at st. Louis, snail be used, pro-
vided he cannot get the same plaster
made at the Laramie plant of that
company.
Mr.. Maxwell is also furnished with
a list of other materials to be used, the
department reserving the right to
make certain recommendations in the
matter. This paragraph is also in.
cluded:
"a superintendent of construction of
the building, who will have charge of
the work, will be appointed in the
rear future, and you will be advised of
his assignment to duty; and, in the
meantime, you should address any
necessary communications to the post
master at Laramie, Wyo., who is the
custodian of the site, and who will be
furnished with a copy Of this letter."
Mr.. Maxwell will be required to give
a bono for $35, 900, and when this has
been approved, which will be in a few
days, it is believed, he will come to
this city and begin the actual work
on the building. Payments are to be
made from time to time, in accordance
with the provisions of the contract.
Mr.. Beltz thinks that work will be
started early in June.

A wedding of great interest was that
of Mr.. Arthur Arson Smith and Miss
Martha Haley, daughter of Hon. ana
Mrs. Ora Haley, which was solemniz-
ed at s o'clock last night at st. Mat
thew's cathedral, Dean Bode otiiciat-
ing. Miss Laura Lee presided at the
organ, rendering Gladstone's Melody
G, S%chubert's Ave Maria and Han
del's Largo previous to the arrival
of the wedding party. AT the appoint
ed hour, Dean Bode stationed himself
before the altar, and as the strains of
L~ohengrin's grand old Wedding
March filled the auditorium, Mr..
Smith, accompanied by his best man,
Mr.. McMurray, entered from the chan
Gel and awaited the bride and her r e
tinue, who advanced through the cen
trail aisle. The ushers were Messrs.
r. l.. George, Ora Ben Haley, f. j. Ter
ry and c. D. S%palding, Mrs. George and
Mrs. Haley, the brides sisters, serving
as her matrons of honor. Mr.. Haley
escorted his daughter to the altar and
gave her away in accordance with the
impressive ceremony of the Episcopal
church, the beautiful ring service being
used to wed the happy pair. The
snowy, stately beauty of the altar form
ed an admirable background for the
picture which was made by the party
during the plighting of the troths, the
entire effect being rarely beautiful.
The brides charms were enhanced by
her elegant robe of white satin French
crepe lavishly garnitured with Irish
Point lace, her long and shimmering
veil being fastened with the orange
blossoms which Mrs. Haley wore when
she became a happy bride and which
also were donned by Mrs. George at
her wedding last January. The bride
carried a shower bouquet of white
sweetpeas, which was tied with long
streamers of graceful briCal tulle rib

breathing space-above the heads OF
the visitors-and little else until nearly
midnight. The booths left from the
night before were still in the hall, and
some OF them were occupied, Mrs.
kidd's fish pond doing a thriving bust
ness. The baby show occupied the
booth erected for the Presbyterian
ladies, and eleven happy mothers and
as many sweet-faced babies were the
cynosure of all eyes. The babes were
all lovely, and how mortal man could
find points in n possessed by it alone
is the wonder Of the ages. AS n
man put it, there was a mighty sweet
baby there, but he was in so many
spots at once that it would be impos-
sible to specify. The voting on the
most popular babies was fast and furi-
u for a time. n the result was an
nounced shortly after II o'clock. The
following entries were made:
Edna, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. X. o.

Mrs. Downey and Mrs. Fitch have
every reason to feel proud of the sue
cess of the library fair and carnival
undertaken to provide funds for fur
nishing the new Carnegie library and
fitting it up for the use of the Albany
county library. When they proposed
the fair at the meeting of the board
of trustees of the library some weeks
age. there were some who believed it
could not be made to win. They ar
gued that a fair would not produce the
results sought, but the ladies', backed
by some of the members of the board,
urged that it could, and so the plan
was adopted, all falling in to make it a
success, once it vas undertaken. Ev.
cry hope has been realized, every pre-
diction OF success verified, and a on
siderable sum of money added to the
fund necessary to carry on the work
the board has in mind in making the
furnishing of the elegant building to
match with the building itself. The
fair was a pronounced success. SO
great, indeed. that 1t vas almost i'm
possible to get even standing room at
Maennerchor hall last night, and as
for dancing. one had just as well think
of dancing on a military parade ground
with a regiment Of troops in maneu-
vers. Once a little spot in the center
of the floor Val cleared, and . few
enthusiasts essayed to dance to the
strains of an air by the Imperial Mil
itary band. but it was slow, laborious
work and did not last long. After IL
o'clock the crowd began to thin out
somewhat and dancing was resumed,
being kept up for some time after
midnight.
The carnival was attended by more
than 1000 persons, and at no time
after 8 o'clock was there anything that
could be looked upon as a sign of fail
ure. The hall began to fill early, n
