STAYS WOMAN HE
PURSUED OVER SEA
sussian Girl Killed by Rejected
Lover in Philadelphia
THEN SHOT HIMSELF IN HEAD

Philadelphia. April 30.-Martha Ko-
rails. comely Prussian girl, was shot
Ind instantly killed here under un-
usual circumstances by Franz Endru-
kat. an enraged lover. who after MUIR
dering the girl sent a bullet into his
own brain inficting a wound from
which he cannot recover.
Endrukat, who was angry because
the girl would not marry him, follow
ed her to this country from the Prov
ince Of Pomerania, in Rheinish Russia,
where four years ago he attempted to
kill her by beating her over the head
with hatchet. After this attempt he
cut his throat in an effort to end his
life and after lying for four months
in a hospital, according to the infor-
nation given to the coroner, he was
sentenced to one year and eight months
imprisonment. How he got into this
country with a penal record has not
been ascertained. After the assault
in Europe, Miss Korais, who was the
daughter of a physician and a school
teacher, came to Philadelphia. En-
drukat, despite the refusal of the girl
to marry him in his native country
followed her to America and to Phila- |
delphia. He went to work at Cramps |
ship yards and boarded in the northern
section of the city. Miss Korais Sc
cured a place as maid in the home of
August Ramstein, in the southern sec
ton of the city.
Endrukat came upon the girl in the
street on Easter and Immediately en-
deavored to renew his attentions. He
was repulsed. He followed the girl
about and threatened to kill her un-
ess she married him. Finally Miss
korais caused a warrant to be issued
or his arrest, but at the last minute
ihe declined to prosecute him.
Endrukat followed the girl from the
lone of her employer to a nearby bak-
ry and pressed his suit in the store.
The girl in fear told him she would
ooner die than marry him. whereupOn
e drew a revolver and sent two bull
cts into her brain. He then turned
he weapon against himself and sent
ne of the leaden missiles into his
cad, falling unconscious across the
ody of the girl. Endrukat is SO years

like to produce witnesses in rebuttal.
Attorney Scarlet replied that wit.

then have an opportunity to cross-ex-
anime them. So determined was VIII

commission the name of the man who

 The board then considered the advisability of the general health of the community, and after some discussion asked the may or and marshal to see that all property owners clean up all al- leys, back yards, etc, of all trash, empty cans, cess pools, and in fact every thing liable to breed mosquitoes. They specially re commend that all owners of vacant lots within the corpora ton be required to cut all weeds on said lots and to keep them cut nnder penalty of conviction for failing to do so.
 It was the opinion of the board that weeds breed more disease than any other pest that affect our community, and they are de termined to start the summer with clean record on this ac- count.

Extension of |. A A. Railroad.

The Louisiana X Arkansas Railroad is anxious to build into Shreveport.
 President Buchanan made this announcement in a letter to the Progressive League of Shreve- port yesterday.
 A meeting of the league has been called for II o'clock next Wednesday morning to consider a letter received from President Buchanan and to determine ap- proximately, upon what the city can offer that line.
 Some recent construction work that was under way by the Louisiana and Arkansas road, from Winfield to Alexandria, a distance of 46 miles, has been completed, and the officials are considering further extensions in one of three directions.
 While the letter does not spec ify other than the Shreveport ex- tension, it is presumed that the proposed construction work un- der contemplation, other than this one line. is from Jena to Natchez, Miss, or from AleXan dria to New Orleans. There is some discussion also, of a pro- posed extension to TeXarkana, where the general offices of the corporation are located, although no part of the line at present touches that city.

 Emmet, Ark, May 2S.-The home of J. l. Wade was consum- ed by fire yesterday morning at 9 o'clock. The family were at home but the fire had gained such headway before discovered that it was impossible to extin- guish it.
 Mr. Wade, as is his custom once a year, was fumigating the place with sulphur, and in some unaccountable manner, the walls caught and was beyond control, when the situation was fully req lized.
 The infant child of the parents was sleeping in side room and in rescuing it from the building, Mr. Wade was forced to face the flames and suffered severe burns on the face and hands. The child was carried out safely but by this time the entire building was in flames, and no household goods were saved.
 Mr. Wade carried S150.00 in surance on his effects and esti- mates his loss at S500.00.
 The building was owned iby Tom Garland, who had no insur- ance.

A Hinge of Romance.

There will be consumated at the home of Jasper Russell at Bodcaw, today, a marriage, the principals of which have faced each other at the altar before.
 Thirty four years ago Walter w. Scott married Miss Alice Smith, a bright-eyed girl of Is and they lived happily together. Two children were born from this union, and life was joyous to them. But one day along about 1879 Mr. Scott, got into trouble with a negro and was forced to kill him. He i'm mediately left the county and went to Texas. Hearing nothing from her husband, after years of waiting, Mrs. Scott secured a divorce, became reconciled to the situation, and began the faithful task of raising the children.
 Scott learning of the divorce, married again.
 A few years ago his second wife died.
 Recently hearing that lis first wife was still living near Bod cav, MT. Scott wrote to her, and finally gained her consent to marry him again.
 Arriving Tn Prescott ye sterday morning from Rosalee, Texas, MT. Scott immediately went to the clerk office, secured license to marry Mrs. Alice Scott, and announced that the wedding would occur today at the home of their daughter, Mrs. Jasper Russell, at Bodcaw
 We wish them much happiness and trust that they may pick up the thread of life, where it was dropped 2S years ago, and that the remaining days of a some what romantic life may be spent in joy and peace.
