HE LIVED ON LOVE.
Man Ran Matrimonial Bureau for
Money Only.

David H. Hartman, young mar
ried man of East Petersburg, Pa,
was arrested, last week, on the
charge of operating a fraudulent
matrimonial scheme. His plan, ac-
cording to his own confession, was
to personify woman, and, when a
correspondence had developed to the
point where marriage was proposed
and accepted the "bride-to-be' would
write for money to pay travel
ing expenses. When the money came
the correspondence always ceased.
Hartman was married year ago
and since then has lived on the fat
of the land, being supported on rev.
enues contributed by victims all over
the United States. Hartman, repre-
senting himself as Miss Catharne l..
Hartman, Catharine l.. being his
wife's name, advertised in various
papers for correspondents, with a
view to matrimony, passing himself
off as maiden of 40 years and heir
ess to $4,000. A photograph,
which was sent to every correspon-
dent, was that Of good-looking wo-
man, the picture OF his wife.

TALE OF SHIPWRECk.
The Captains Daughter Showed Her.
self q Heroine.

After a three days terrific fight for
life in two small boats, $50 miles out
in the Atlantic ocean, Miss Eliza
beth Erikson, her father, Capt. P. A.
Erikson, and nine men, composing
the crew, two dogs and a cat, who
were rescued in the nick of time by
the British steamer Metis, after hav-
ing abandoned their barkentine,
Good News, of Philadelphia, are re-
joicing at again being able to set
foot on land.
1t is a thrilling and heart-rending
tale of the sea that Capt. Erikson
and his crew told on their arrival
at Norfolk. Struck by heavy storm,
the Good News sprang leak. All
hands remained continuously at the
pumps, but failing to keep her afioat,
at noon June 3 the ship was aban-
doned. The captain daughter show
ed great bravery and after the Good
News sank to the bottom she cheered
the men.
At times it seemed as though the
two little boats containing the res
cued would be swamped by the huge
waves. During three days and three
nights of awful suspense sharp
lookout was kept for the approach
of a passenger vessel. Monday the
Metis hove in sight. Soon the Metls
was alongside and the exhausted
crew was taken aboard.
