Brooklyn Politicians Romance cul-
inmates With Death Hovsrins Near.

NEW YORK. July 14.-Alfred T.
Hobley. republican leader Of tho
Fourth assembly district, Brooklyn,
| was married in the afternoon and his
wife died that night. She was prac-
] tically dying at the time the ceremony
was performed.
The deathbed marriage was the cul-
mination of a romance of love and
politics, that lasted for more than IL
years. On Hobley's political success
depended his happiness with the wom-
an he had loved for many years. When
Mr.. Hobley ran for sheriff last fall on
the republican county ticket, it was
with the definite understanding that
II he was elected he would be married
at once to Miss Clara Bill. He told
Miss Bill that he had put most Of his
money into the race and that If he
failed of election he would be unable
to assume the responsibilities Of mar
ried life.
Michael J. Flaherty gave Hobley .
decisive defeat. After his defeat,
Hobley and Miss Bill postponed the
marriage Indefinitely.
This was ont the first postponement
on account Of fortunes laggard way
in bringing success to Mr.. Hobley.
They had been waiting for a dozen
years for him to get In a position to
marry.
About three weeks ago Miss Bill was
attacked with quick consumption. Last
week Mr.. Hobley was summoned to
her bedside and was told by the at
tending physicians that she had only
a few hours to live. He decided at
once to have the marriage ceremony
performed before Miss Bills death.
The political leader was married TO
the dying woman while her mother and
others supported her In bed. Hobley
stayed by the side of his bride until
deatch came early in the evening.

DUE TO MISTAKE.
City and County Officers Got on False
Scent.

The police and sherff's office were
considerably exercised yesterday after
noon by the report that an employee
where the blasting is going on in South
Bend for the Omaha roads improvement
had fallen over forty-twO foot emf
bankment and been killed. The report
was brought to the city by a companion
of the man. Both had been drinking in
the city, and hired a rig to drive back
shortly after dinner. On arriving there,
one man slipped into the camp without
paying his share of the livery bill, and
the other then returned to the rig III
no very pleasant frame of mind and
when asked where his companion was
said that he wished that he had failed
over the embankment and broken his
neck. He rode back to town, and the
report reached the ears of the police
that the other man had fallen over and
been killed. The man who came bach
from the camp sobered off at the city
hail. and it was learned that the suppos-
edly dead one was in his bunk sleeping
at the railroad camp.

VIA THE OVERLAND ROUTE.
IT'S Said Some Circuses Will Travel
That Way Next Season.

Eldora, Feb. l3.-According to the
theory of those who are in position to
speak and know the spring season of
1906 vii, see more OF the
old-fashioned circus wagon shows
throughout Iowa, Minnesota and
the Dakotas, in fact the entire
middle west. than ever before. This will
be due to the increased transportation
rates demanded by the railways. be-
cause of the rate legislation agitation.
One manager in this state who is now
fitting up IL wagon show to start with
/ the coming of spring and summer states
that last year the transportation on
his show cost about $50 daily, and this
year the rate charged by the railroads
will be $3.50 day. All shows, large
and small, will be affected by the rise
and as result many Il company will
buy equipment, take to the road, make
smaller jumps and save the immense
cost in railroad transportation, bringing
MANY of the children of the present
dav face to face with the old-fashioned
wagon shows of their fathers.
1t is predicted that there will be more
smash-ups and financial failures in the
show business this year than for great
MANY seasons on account of eXorbitant
prices demanded for transportation. One

wears that there will be but three rail
