young Bartruff, tho son of a promi-
nent and prosperous Farmer of near
this city, could not be learned, but
he has always been looked upon as
an Industrious and honorable young
man by those who know him. At any
rate the young couple appeared at the
county clerks Office on Wednesday
CT this week, and, with the written
consent of the parents of the young
girl, who was under the age required
by law, secured a marriage license,
and were married the same day by
Rev. p S. Knight, OF this city.
Husband Is Missing.
What happened after that is not
known, as the young wife is in such a
condition of mind and physical mis-
cry that she cannot tell her story,
and her relatives had not been APP
prised of her tragic act, and could
not be seen this afternoon, but from
the fact that the efforts of the officers
to locate the young husband have
been. fruitless as yet, and the condi-
tions surrounding the case, lead to
the belief that somcthing has either
happened him or that he deserted
the girl upon the even 'ng Of or the
day following the marriage, and driv-
en- to desperation over her pitiful
plight, she committed the rash act,
which will doubtless end her earth
ly existence.
Could Not Find Husbands Folks.
The parents of the girl live about
five miles out of the city, where she
has been staying. 1t appears that
young Bartruff has a married sister
living on High or Cottage streets, in
this city, anu the girl, after walking
into town from her home, tried to
find the home Of her husbands sister,
in the hope of finding her husband.
She made inquiries at several places
on High and Church streets last
night but, being unable TO, find the
place she sought, she took the deadly
drug and would have died had she not
been discovered writhing in agony in
the yard of Clyde Johnson at Union
and Church streets. 1t was at first
thought the young woman was intox-
icated, but it was later discovered
that she had drunk carbolic acid from
a small vial which was found lying
near where she rolled upon the grass
Dr. o. b. Miles was summoned, and
rushed to her assistance.
Little Hope of Recovery.
She was Immediately taken to the
Salem hospital, whore every effort
was made TO relieve her sufferings,
and save her life. and. although she
is resting easier today, her mouth
and throat are badly burned with the
poison. and there are not many
chances in favor OF her recovery.
From her condition, and that OF her
clothing, when found DR.. Miles is OF
the opinion that she must have taken
the drug over an hour prior to her

such intolerable conditions. 1t may
be to the interests Of some leaders
that, for political reasons, lawless-
ness continue, but it is against the
interests of the workingmen, them
selves. To dismiss men for asking
wage increase would be such infamy
that can hardlS believe that It has
occurred. You should learn Sbout
this definitely.
A union is equally as necessary as
corporation. Both must obey the
law, Unionists have no right to
force other workers into their union.
Such action is gross violation of
right. But it is equally, an outrage
for the employer to discriminate
against the unions.
My conclusion is that it becomes
the highest, most pressing duty to see
that complete justice is guaranteed
both the employer and the employe,
as we'll as the people themselves.
"It is not merely your duty, but
your right, to insist on knowing the
facts that brought on this strike, and
judge them. y,.
If the present arbitration law is
not sufficiently stringent, make it
more stringent. The state and the
municipality have the power to force
any corporation to do right, and it is
! the duty of the people to see that
they do right. Your duties are two
fold. First, enforce the law and re-
store order; second, learn the facts,
remedy the injustice that has been
done, and effectually prevent the rep
etition of injustice"

being discovered, and had been roll
ing about In mortal agony all Of that
time, and it is a wonder that she is
now alive. The maiden name of the
unfortunate young girl-wife, as reg
istered upon the marriage license GER
tifcate, was Hilma Sophia Anderson,
and those Of her parents, who had
signed the written consent to her
marriage, and which had evidently
been written by the girl herself, are
Joseph and Sophia Anderson. 1t IL
understood that the girls mother has
been very III for some time, and It is
feared that the shock OF the news of
the daughters sad fate may be more
than the stricken mother will be able
to stand.

ENDING OF

LITTLE HILNIA ANDERSON, MAR
RIED WEDNESDAY TO DANIEL
e. BARTRUFF, is APPARENTLY
ABANDONED BY HUSBAND, AND
Is DYING IN IHE HOSPITAL.

Evidently having been deserted and
abandoned by her youthful husband,
and having failed in her efforts to To-
cate her sweetheart, after a long
nights search, Mrs Daniel e. Bar
truff, pretty and petite girl of q
years, and a bride of less than three
short days, writhes in agony and
hovers between life and death at the
Salem hospital today, after trying to
end her existence by the carbolic
acid route, in this city last night
The police officials are endeavoring
to locate the young husband, who
seems to have disappeared almost
completely, but their efforts to find
him had not produced good fruit up
to late hour this afternoon.
Married Last Wednesday.
The story of the poor and unfor-
tunate young girls life, which has
been blasted in the earliest stages of
her development, reads like a ro-
nance of the tales of the Arabian
Knights, and is pathetic in the eX-
treme. With her parents, Mr.. aud
Mrs. Joseph Anderson, natives of
Sweden, she came to Salem recently,
and located upon farm near this
city. When or how sic came to know

IMPROVEMENTS ]
AT FISK UNIVERSITY = NEW
STONE FENCE BEING BUILT
AROUND THE CAMPUS.

Since DR.. Gates took charge of Fisk
University that great educational in
stitution has taken on new life. That
activity so lacking during the period
the school was run without a presi-
dent
The latest move toward a general
renovation is the beginning of work
on the new stone wall that will en-
circle the entire campus. This will
add greatly to the general appear
ance of things around the university.
lt will be built so as to harmonize
with the wall already around Jubilee
Hall.
The Negro citizens of Nashville are
rapidly settling around the campus and
erecting and beautifying their homes.
They take special pride in the
school. 1t is located in an ideal To-
cality, being elevated on a high
plateau which permits of a general
view of the city and the magnificent
buildings surrounded as they are with
beautiful trees and shrubbery, togeth-
CT with the beautiful homes make a
scene pleasing to the most fastidious
eye.
The wall is to be built of dressed
stone, which makes a fence almost in
destructible.

NEGRO MADE HIGHEST MARK IN
EXAMINATION.

Mr.. Harry A. Luck, Census Super
visor of this district, announced yes
terday, after completing the grading
of the papers of the applicants for
census enumerator, that only sixty
out of one hundred and sixty-five in
Davidson County taking the recent
examination, had made a grade sufi-
cient to secure an appointment
Eighty-five enumerators in the city
and thirty in the county will be re-
quired to take the census. Mr.. Luck
will confer with the authorities at
Washington in regard to the steps
necessary to secure the full quota,
and it is thought a special examina-
ton will be held for applicants who
did not take the regular examination.
Mr.. Luck says he is satisfied those
who failed on the original examina-
ton will not be given another oppor-
tunity to qualify. He is disappoint-
ed at the poor showing made by the
applicants, as the examination was
very simple with explicit direction in
regard to the filling out of papers.
The highest mark made was by a col
ored boy residing in Nashville. The
class in which this district has been
placed has not been determined, but
it is believed the enumerators will
receive 2 IL cents per name in the
city and 20 cents per farmhouse.

FROZEN TO DEATH IN EMPT'
BARN.
Aged Man Dead When Wagon from
County Poorhouse Reached Him.

Aged Man Dead When Wagon from
County Poorhouse Reached Him.
Mr.. Ben White, an aged man, was
frozen to death during the blizzard of
Friday afternoon, February 18, in a
barn at McLean's Station, four miles
from Nashville on the Nolensville
Turnpike. The unfortunate man was
homeless. In the last severe cold
spell his feet were frostbitten so that
he could walk only with extreme diff
ficulty and pain.
For several days past Mr.. White
had been in the neighborhood of Nc
Leans Station. He had obtained his
food from the kitchens of the people
of the neighborhood and slept in
barns. The barn in which he took
shelter from the extreme cold of Fri
day was empty, containing no hay or
fodder with which he could cover
himself. During the day some of the
people of the neighborhood realized
that he was in serious condition and
telephoned to the comfy poorhouse
to have the wagon from that institu-
tion sent for him. The wagon was dis
patched to bring him to the poor
house, but when it arrived the poor
man was dead-frozen stiff.
Saturday morning Mr.. Joseph
Burns, the county undertaken, went
to the place and brought the body to
Nashville and delivered it to the city
morgue, 913 Fourth avenue, North,
and it was buried in the Potter's field
Monday of this week.
