bed Ceremony,

Louisville, Ky.-Slx hours before
his death here Robert Horner, twen-
ty-nine years old, son of Samuel Hor-
ner, a multi-millionaire of Philadel-
phia, married Miss Elizabeth Dallam
Burnett, "A member of one Of the most
prominent and wealthiest families
In this city. The wedding Of the
couple had been set for Tuesday, and
several guests already had arrived.
Iorner died Of blood poisoning
caused by a carbuncle.
The young man came here three
years ago as manager OF 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
carbuncfe 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 Infirmary. 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-
oning, and early in the morning it
became apparent he could not re-
cover.
Horner read his fate in the face
Of his tiancee, and he bore it like n
Spartan. The doctors tried to hide
the truth from him, but he silelced
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
ly in time to be present at the hur-
ried ceremony. He was accompanied
by his second son, Charles. who was
pledged by the dying man to care
for the widowed bride.
The ceremony was 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 was so overcome
her voice hardly could be heard. Sew
eral nurses were affected SO deeply
that they left the room. Charles
Horner broke down and cried. but
the father stood without the move
ment of "A muscle looking straight
into the face Of his stricken son.
After the wedding Mrs. Horner bent
over and kissed her husband, then
she took chair at the bedside and
held his hand on the counterpane
until death came.
Only ten days ago Horner took out
a life insurance policy for $25, 900
for Mis-. Burnett. IL is believed that
all his estate, amounting TO several
hundred thousand dollars, will go
TO the widow.

CONVICT LABOR PAID.
Washington State Likes System Of
Workina Prisoners on Roads.

Spokane, Wash, Dec. 27.-Joseph M.
Snow, of Spokane, state highway COM
missioner has just submitted report
to Governor Albert e. Mead, in which
he declares that the employment OF
convicts or. state road work in Okano-
gan county this season has not only
effected saving to the tax payers OF
Washington, but has been genuine
success in every way. The point Sc
lected for the work was the most re-
mote in the state, so the cost OF
transporting the convicts, supplies and
tools would be the maximum to give
the system severe test. The men
were housed in barracks, surrounded
by stocllade. The convicts handled
dynamite in blasting, each man aver
aging 3x42 cubic feet of earth. Thus
the value of the daily work of con-
vict was S4.03 for eight hours. TWen-
ty-seven men were in camp three and
half months and were in far better
physical, mental and moral condition
when the camp closed than when 1T
was opened. Mr.. Snow adds the sue
cess of the plan has been so satisfac-
torily demonstrated that it is now pur-
posed to place larger crew on the
Snouualmie Pass road early next
spring

CINCINNATI GETS CAMPBELL.
Ownership of Pitcher Claimed by Sew
eraI Clubs is Determined.

Cincinnati, Dec. 27-The issue be-
tween the National base ball commits
sion and the National association of
minor base ball leagues was Joined to-
day when the national commission an
nounced it's decision awarding to the
Cincinnati National League club
Pitcher Campbell one Of the players
who had been blacklisted at the meet
ing of the National Association in New
York last month. George Tebeau,
owner Of the Louisville American AS
sociation team claimed Campbell was
still under contract to him, and that
Cincinnati could not secure a valid
transfer of the players services from
the Harrisburg club of the tri-state
league On the other hand, Campbell
asserted that Tebeau had not kept his
part of the contract, and that he was
therefore no longer bound by it's terms
when he entered the service OF, the
Harrisburg management. The commits
sion decided against Tebeau. Members
of the commission are unanimous in
declaring the Cincinnati clubs title to
Campbell was clear.
