Bride of Two Weeks
is Held on Suspicion

location of the wound is said to be
an unusual one to be self-infiicted
and this, taken with the fact that
there were blood spots on Mrs.
Sprague's night gown, caused the
police to place a charge of suspicion
against her.
Mrs. Sprague said she was awak-
ened by the shot and found her hus-
band lying huddled up in a corner OF
the bedroom in his night clothes.
She declared her husband had no
enemies and she knew OF no reason
why he should have shot himself.

Arden, n. Y, Sept. ED
ward ii. Hartman, the great
est organizer of railroads the
world has ever known, met his
first permanent defeat at the
hands of death this afternoon.
Secluded in his home on
Tower Hill, surrounded by
members Of his family, physi-
clans and nurses, he Succumbed
to an intestinal disorder. The
exact time Of his death is I'M
known, except to a limited
circle of relatives and asso-
ciateS, who had shielded him
from outside annoyance during
his Illness. The time made
public was 1886 p. m, but a
sister of Hartman tonight said
he died at 1870. Whether the
apparent discrepancy pertains
TO the belief that efforts were
made to lessen the influence
of his death on the New York
stock market is problematicaI.
But it is significant that the
announcement Of his death was
made thirty-five minutes after
the markets close.
Hartman died peacefully,
remaining conscious until the
end After the relapse of Sun
day he sank slowly. Soon after
noon today another relapse an
nounced the approach OF the
end. His family of a wife,
two daughters and two sons
assembled at the bedside and
a carriage was sent for Mrs.
Simmons, his sister, who ar
rived before his death
The burial will be in the
cemetery of st. Johns EpiscO-
pal church at Arden, beside
the body of his eldest son,
who died two years ago.

CHAPTER XIV.
The Birth of a City.

Like criminals afraid of the light,
and seeking the cover of darkness, a
score of the most distinguished men
of the United States, occupying its
most responsible positions, and bear
ing the burden of government, came
to the White House, which doomed
massive and apparently untenanted.
They came singly. obeying the in
structions given them, left their con-
veyances at a distance, and walked
unattended to the dark portals, which
opened and closed behind them. All
were aware of the portentous reason
for their visit, and the importance of
the utmost secrecy. Observant indeed
would have been the foreign spy who
could have surmised that they were
gathering to discuss a plan involving
the defense Of the nation, or the ac-
ceptance of a challenge to war.
There were only two visitors who
came together, the inventor and his
daughter, and they were the last to
enter the room. where those who pre-.
ceded them were divided into groups
round four officers of the navy, who
were answering questions. quoting fig
ures and volunteering details which
were not written. The men at the
head Of the nation were preparing to
plunge headlong into what under less
immediate menace would have seemed
a sea of folly ready to submerge them
and their couutrI.
