SHOOTS BRIDE OF MONTH.
Then Commits Suicide-Churchgo
Shocked by Sunday Tragedy.

Lisbon, o., Dec. 10.-Infuriated by
her refusal to remain at home with
him instead of attending church Har-
ry Webber, aged 81, probably fatally
shot his BRIDE of tour weeks sunday
morning then turned the weapon upon
himself, dying instantly. The shoot
ing occurred Immediately in front of
the Webber home while crowds
thronged the streets on their way to
church.
The first intimation that all was not
pleasant between the newly married
couple came Sunday night, when they
uuarreled. 1t is said that on one oc-
casion Weber threatened to shoot
his wife if she left their room.
Webber was eight years younger
than his wife and she is said TO have
been married before. A rumor fol-
lowed the shooting to the effect that
her former husband was in Lisbon
last week. Some believe that his pres
ence may have had connection with
the tragedy, as Webber was of an alb
normally jealous disposition.
Neighbors say they heard the Web
bers quarreing several times during
the morning prior to the shooting, and
Mrs Webber, who has not been I'M
conscious since, although shot through
the head, says that her husband told
her that he would kill her if she left
the house.
Mrs. Webhcr was formerly Miss An
na Woelfel of Beaver Falls. She is
not well known here. having come TO
this city moi long ago She bore an
excellent reputation. however. and
was an ardent churchgoer She and
her young husband became acquainted
while working together in Arter's har-
ness factory.
Nj. and Mrs. George Weber, par
ents of the dead man, say that he had
been afflicted with temporary insanity
since childhood, and II is known here
that he was often morosc and illnat-
med passing his friends upon the
street without a ook or word of rec
ognition
Following the shooting Mrs. Web.
Der was able to walk to the home Of
neighhOr, where she was cared for.
The bullet entered her head above the
left car, passing ont above the l,fJ
eye.

As an instance of the progressiveness of Mohtgomery's business houses in comparison with those of other cities throughout the country, it will be in- teresting to Know that the contracts for the furniture and office devices for the new State Capitol, which were let the last week of September, were awarded to houses in various parts or the United States, one contract being secured by the Ed C. Fowler Company, of Montgomery. who have the honor of being the first in the list of con- tractors supplying the goods ordered This in spite of the fact that most of the other houses were nearer the source of supply than the Ed c. Fowler Company.
 The bids in question were made on ofiice files. filing cabinets, desks and chairs. The Ed G. Fowler Company secured the order In competition with some of the biggest houses in this country, which goes to show that MontA anmery Is in position to meet the prices offered in any town in the United States, and the fact that these people were the first to deliver goods out of fifteen or twenty orders certainly goes to prove that Montgomery Is ideally situated as n distributing point.
 All of the office furniture included in this contract was manufactured by the Globe wernicks Company, of Cin- oinnati whose agent in Montgomery IS the Ed c. Fowler Company.

A Selma. Oct. .1s.
 This was the second day of the Cen tral Alabama Fair. and early this snornine everything was ready and awaiting the big crowds which were expccteii to pass through the turnstiles tonimht and today .
 The attendance at the Fair today was much larger than 1t was on the t,rat day. several thousand more peo- nle passed through the gates today than tlfzre did yesterday, and the great crowd appeared to enjoy the big show.
 The attendance at the Fair today would probably have been larger than if was but for circus which visited inc city. But .the circus was also the cause of attracting many hundreds or people to the city and during the morn- ing hours the streets in the business section of the city were so congested that one could hardly pass up ana down them. As soon as the parade vas over this great throng left the business section for the Fair grounds for the circus.
 Every feature of the big Fair is proving a drawing card. A great deal Of interest is taken by the visitors " inc exhibition hall in the womens des partment. In this department there may be seen the hahdiwork oI the women of Selma and Central Alabama and the display is 8 most credtsaole one. This department Is in charge oI Mrs. D. A..
