bed Ceremony.

Huntsville, Ky.-Six hours before
his death here Robert Horner, TWEEN
tv-nine years old, son Of Samuel o
ner, a. multi-millionaire Of PhlladeI-
mia. married Miss Elizabeth Dallam
Burnett. a member of one of the most
monument and wealthiest families
in this city. The wedding of the
counle had been set for Tuesday, and
several guests already had arrived.
Horner died of blood poisoning
caused by a carbuncle.
The young man came here three
wears ago as manager Of a cement
company owned by his father. He
fell in love with Miss Burnett at first
sight, and their engagement was an
nounced last winter. The wedding
was to have been one of the most
fashionable of the early summer.
Horner was preparing for the union,
and had arranged for a wedding trip
of two months. A week ago the
carbuncle developed in his neck and
he grew steadily worse until his
death.
At first Horner made light of the
carbuncle, but on Thursday evening
his condition. had become so serious
that he decided to go to the Norton
Memorial Infrmary. There the ply
sicians said an operation should have
| been performed at least twenty-four
hours before. They placed him at
once on the operating table, but the
knife gave no relief. Instead, the
patient was attacked by blood pois-
OniOO and norlU in tho TonWniVc r.
became apparent he could not re-
cover. ,
Horner read his fate in the face
OF his fancee, and he bore it like a
Spartan. The doctors tried to hide
the truth from him, but he sileaced
them by his questions. Then he
asked that Miss Burnett become his
bride, and the girl consented. The
Young mans father, expecting to at
tend the arranged wedding on Tues
day, arrived from Philadelphia bare
~ IN time to be present at the hur-
Tied ceremony. He was accompanied
by his second son, Charles, who was
pledged by the dying man to care
Tor the widowed bride.
The ceremony vas performed by
the Rev. J. G. Minnegerode. Horner
was so weak that the physicians re-
fused to prop him up with pillows.
He gathered strength, however, to
make his responses in a full, clear
voice. Miss Burnett vas so overcome
her voice hardly could be heard. Sew
eral nurses we're affected so deeply
that they left the oom Charles
Homer broke down and cried, but
the father stood without the move
ment of a muscle looking straight
into the face of his stricken SOB.
After the wedding Mrs. Horner bent
over and kissed her husband, then
she took a chair at the bedside and
held his hand on the counterpart
until death came.
Only ten days ago Horner took out
a life insurance policy for $4,000
Tor Miss Burnett. 1t is believed that
all his estate, amounting to. several
hundred thousand dollars, will go
to the widow.
