mysterious tragedies ever enacted in
this section OF tho state developed this
morning, when the lifeless bodies OF
two young people. mere children, were
found in buggy. with bottle con-
tainng strychnine at their side. While
the couple probably entered into an
agreement to die together. there Is no
proof of this aside from outward cvi-
dence
The victims OF the tragedy are ver-
non Barr, aged 16 years, and Lima AM
mer. aged H. The bodies were found
In buggy in the yard at the Barr
home, which Is nine miles distant from

mer home is four miles north OF Nom
| roe, in this. Jasper. county, while the
| Barr home Is five miles southwest, in
the edge OF Marion county. When the
| girl did not return at an early hour her
parents started an investigation. which
was without result until Z o'clock this
morning, when Mrs. Barr, mother OF
the boy. found the bodies in the buggy
In the yard of the farm home.
Suicide Apparently Deliberate.
Investigation OF the surroundings
shows that after arriving at the Barr
homestead the young man unhitched
his team. placed the horses in the bern,
went to the well and procured q tin
cup. filed 1t with water. returned to tho
buggy where he left Miss Ammer
mixed the poison and water and drank
the fatal potion. A bottle containing
strychi. partially empty, was found
nearby.
No Signs Of Struggle.
There were no signs OF II struggle,
and both bodies were found reclining
in the buggy seat. Life evidently bad

Whether the couple drove directly

MAJOR PIORkOWSkI fELLS OF
 FRANCO -PRUSShAN WAR.
Heard With Much Interest by Pupils
 at Miss Butts' School.

Major PiorkoWski of New York gave 8 talk to Miss Butts school on Mon- day afternoon which was much appre- ciated by the young ladies. He gave them an entertaining reminiscence. of the F'ranco-PruSsian war. in which ne was an officer in the German army. Next year will be held the fortieth al- niversary of this event, which will ne the fortietl birthday of the present German em pire. Germany has pro- gressed anna mazingiy in these years, and 1t is 8 pleasure to the INa3or to look back and to think that he had g part in bringing about all this p1'osperity.
 He told of being in Berlin in June of 1870 and seeing the empsNpr and crown prince received in perfect sfissacs 2 by the vast crowd of people, so great was the depth of feeling everyone wished and feared tha war Major Ptorkowski was then first lieutenant in g. battery of Saxon artillery. He was detailed to go ahead of the main army and make arrangements for them across the Rhine. Count Zeppeiin-of balloon fame-then captain of cavat- ry, was the first in the army to pass into French territory. He praised the spirit of the Germany armS.-the sol- diers' cheerfulness in rain and mud and their obedience to discipline: obe- dienca with forethougilt of the common good.
 He was on special service in the staff of the crown prince or fodAouy anu So did not take part in the first fight across the Rhine. His captain was wounded in this battle around Metz and he was sent to conlnand the bat tery of six guns. It was d. dreadful night ride through burning vS{lages and among thousands of wounded men to his battery. After this the field arnly moved on to Paris, making detouf towards Belgium and having anotker skirmish with the French before meek ing them finally at Sedan. This was the majors great day, in which he had two horses killed under him and in which he stood his ground when under a fanking fire from the French and drove them back, earning for himself the decoration of the Iron Cross, given to heroes of the Napoleonie wars. The major has also recently received a diploma for the Order of the Crown On the surrender of Napoleon III the Germans thought for moment the war was over. But 10000 French sol- dfers had escaped from Metz and formed the nucleus of the army of Paris.
 He told of the siege of Paris. it's sur render, the pleasant duties of the army of occupation and the glory of the re- turn to Germany He closed by hoping that such a war would never happen again. France and Germany have too many common interests and friend ships. Peace should be their pride not war.
