ROMANCE IN COLORED LIFE.
Bash Marriage at the Railway Station
Today.
Quite an amusing but terribly in
earnest, romance was pulled on in the
colored division of the railway waiting
room in this city today at noon, while
the crowd of transient occupants of
the station looked on in mingled mer
riment and solemnity.
It was this way, Hattle Bradshaw,
a colored damsel, was going to take
the noon train for New York, thence
to Connecticut; her ticket was bought
and her trunk checked, when Ed.
Hatch, a dusky brave, appeared on the
scene, armed with a license and ac
companied by Justice Humphrey, and
then and there there was a wedding.
It seems that there was objection
to Ed. by the girl's relatives and they
were endeavoring to spirit her away
from him, when he got wind of it and
got busy, with the above result.
The newly wed drove off in a city:
hack accompanied by the reclaimed
trunk.

AFTER ALL THESE YEARS.
Finds From Virginia Battle Fields
That Are Notable.
Spottsylvania, Va., March 29. At a
saw mill located on a part of the court
house battle field here the saw struck
a cannon ball, which had been shot
into a large pine tree on May 12, 1864,
and the saw was literally broken to
atoms and the mill badly wrecked. The
place where the shot had entered the
tree had grown over smoothly, and
thus the sawyer was deceived.
Not long ago, while men ' were get
ting wood off the Wilderness battle
field, on spitting open a large hollow
log, which had been lying ; on the
ground for a number of years. They
found nside two perfect human skulls,
which are supposed to have been car
ried Into the hollow by some animal
a short time after the battle and be
fore the bodies of the dead could be
buried. - v

SUICIDE IN HIGH LIFE
Mrs.
Pierre Lorillard, Jr.,
Goes That Route.
Bedecked With Jewels and Just Ee
tamed From Gay Social Func
tion She Seeks Surcease
in Death.
Washington. D. CL March 25.
Weary of the gay whirl of society and
face to face, as she believed, with
years of physical suffering, Mrs. Pierre
Lorillard, Jr., aged 49, wife qf the to
bacco magnate, committed suicide by
asphyxiation at her home near the
fashionable Du Pont circle, in this
city, today. Her tragic death has
shocked the first social circles of the
capital as has nothing else in years.
In spite of the coroner's certificate
of death, by suicide, members of the
family declare Mrs. Jjorillard died of
lieart failure.
The death was mpide more dramatic
by the fact of its occurrence only a
few hours after Mr. " and Mrs. Loril
lard had been guests of Mrs. Richard
Townsend at a dinner given in honor
of Lady Paget. In fact, it is believed
that as soon as Mrs. Lorillard axrvied
at her home, shortly after midslght
this morning, "she began to prepare
for her death. ; ' - -
About 8:30 o'clock this morning the
butler in the Lorillard residence de
tected an odor of gas. The origin of
the fumes was traced to Mrs. Loril
lard's apartments. Opening the door
to the bath room, just off her suite,
the butler was horrified to behold the
body of the mistress of the house
stretched lifeless. Her facajwas turn
ed to the mat on the floor.
The alarm brought i Mr. Lorillard
from- his apartments, ;across the hall.
He and the butler carried the body to
Mrs. Lorillard's room. - Mr. Loxillard
attempted to revive his wife by means
of artificial respiration. Two doctors
summoned resorted to every scientific
method to restore Kfc. bat after an
hour's efforts gave up in despair.
Shortly afterwards Dr. Ramsey Nev-
itt, the coroner, visited the Lorillard
home and ordered Deputy Coroner
Glazebrook to perform an autopsy,
upon the completion of which Dr. Nev-
tt issued a certificate of death by sui
cide by gas poisoning.
Extreme reticence is being -main
tained by the Lorillard family and all
others who possess information .-or
cerning the sudden death.
Mrs. Lorillard left a note which the
coroner has seen, but which Mr. Loril
lard has declined to have made public
Mrs. Lorillard was subject to fre
quent attacks of despondency, it is
said.
The last person to see Mrs. Loril
lard alive was Mr. Lorillard. He bade
her good night as they separated to
go to their apartments, after return
ing home about midnight from the
Townsend residence. Mrs. Lorillard
was seemingly in the best of spirits,
and had joined freely in the social fes
tivities of the evening at the Town-
send home. .. -
Mrs. Lorillard had disrobed, and
when found her body was clothed in a
dressing gown. The dog collar of dia
monds she wore at the dinner had
been removed before she went to. the
bath room, but the c'ostly circle of dia
monds that adorned her hair had not
been displaced.
The Lorillards have lived at Hillyer
Place since January. Immediatejly pre
ceding that time Mrs. Lorillard was in
Europe.
Mrs. Lorillard before her marriage
in 1881 was Miss Caroline J. Hamil
ton. She is survived by two sons, one
of whom is now traveling in the Ori
ent, and the other is in college in New
York.
Dr. M. 1 . Cuthbert, the family phy
slcian, when seen tonight, held aloof
from any c4scussion that might shed
light upon the tragic affair.
"I had not been called to see Mrs
Lorillard within the last two months
and I was startled when the message
came . to my office this morning he
said. "I do know that Mrs. Lorillard
was much alarmed over the condition
of her heart. She had suffered con
siderably. When she visited Paris last
summer she sought an eminent , spe
cialist, whom she consulted as to .her
condition, but when she returned . to
America she had been ill frequently,
I must decline to discuss any other
phases of the case." -;
OFFICER SUSPENDED. M
Raleigh's Chief of Police Itamored
From Duty Pending Investigation.
Raleigh, N. C, March 29 The po

office. Captain Beasiey; was appointed

WHAT'S MATTER 'WITH RALEIGF.C
Will It Survive the Revelations of
nicipal Mismanagement!
s
When the Raleigh News aibser
ver came to hand yesterday, -with those
big black poster-type headlines across
its forntice-page, we thought the city
had had a special earthquake all its
own, and that it was annihilated be
yond the possibility of resurrection.
Visions of a new capital at Greensboro
flitted between the lines and unheard
lamentations set those head-lines to
tagubrious music ; but after perusing
the black-type story that followed the
headlines, we breathed easy again.
Reducing the story to a simple state
ment, it is claimed that Raleigh' chief
of police's books and those of the trial
justice and those of the treasurer don't
"track" don't tally, there being , a di
vergency of some $1,700, and that some
time Friday night the books of the chief
of police were tampered with muti
lated so that the discrepancies could
not be reverified.
The chief of police in yesterday's
paper claims that ' an - "enemy hath
done this," and says that there is no
dishonesty attached to his office. And
there you are.
Tomorrow the city primary will be
held in Raleigh for aldermanic selec
tions, and the fight is going to be bit
ter between the incumbent administra
tion and their opponents, the latter
backed by the News and Observer and
the Times alike.
A telegram from Raleigh this after
noon reads as follows:
Raleigh, N. . C, March 29. Vann
Gill, white, was arrested last night,
charged with mutilating the books of
tha chief of police.
-TJbe warrant for Gill's arrest was
!ssue4L by the police justice.
The preliminary1 hearing has been
postponed until after tomorrow's pri
mary.
The opponents of the present admin
istration say that Gill was arrested as
a political move, simply to create sen
timent in favor of the administration
crowd and that after the election he
will be turned loose.
On the other hand, the administra
tion crowd are charging that the re
port of shortage . and mutilation of
books was all done to injure them;
that there is nothing wrong in the ac
counts, and that an enemy of the ad
ministration mutilated the books.
The city has never been so stirred
before. Almost every man in town
who can vote is registered and will
vote in the primary tomorrow.
Both sides seem to be confident of
winning.

A MODEL BOY.
Beautiful Tribute of One Great Soul to
Another.
Col. John F. Bruton, president of the
First National- Bank, of Wilson, pays
the following beautiful tribute to the
memory of Master Roney Collins,
ivhose first thought was ever of his
cuother:
"Roney Collins is dead, and in his
death I lost an unselfish and valued
L'riend. And you ask wherein was he
h valued friend? In this we met
dach other on the streets almost daily,
ae bearing his responsibilities and I
Conscious of mine. He did not forget
l;o howdy with me, tip his cap and
:avor me with a smile; this last a gen
erous expression of good will and
friendship. In the evenings when I
aad closed my office and started home
i frequently found him "on his job"
delivering papers, and sometimes for
aver so short a distance he would fa
vor me with his company; we talked
business, his own. Then his spirit of
nthusiasm was contagious. His an-
wers to questions were thoughtful
and never extravagant. This impressed
me and I studied him the more. I
found he was methodical. Honest
with himself he did not loaf only
once. A game of football was on and
one side was short of players; he stop
ped just a few short minutes and help
ed the weaker side in a rush which
landed the ball. Had he not done this
I would have lost interest in him. I
recall now his happy laugh as he
athered up his papers and hastened
their delivery in better time than if he
had not stopped.
Had he lived, I should never have
told that I subjected him to severe
scrutiny and study, but being anxious
to know the secret of his manliness
as manifested in his steadiness and
persistence of effort, I did seek dill-
ently for the secret without favor or
partiality. He told me one day, not
n words, but in the tender expression
f hs eyes and voice as he made ref-
rence to his mother. He was devoted
to her, and she was his partner. The
nderness of his feelings for her was
is refined as pure gold. He may have
ad doubts "about some things, but
at his mother was deeply interested
n him and expected him to succeed
here in his mind absolutely was no
adow of a doubt. This was the Be
ret of the success of my little friend,
and the manner of his making good
s a tribute to motherhood, which may
shared with pride by all mothers
.vho may read this. He was a sturdy
ttle gentleman, and when he died not
nly the "writer, but the town of Wil-
on suffered a loss.
' Denied the sad privilege of attend-
lg his funeral, I make the opportunity
offer this little tribute to his mem
ory.
SENSATION IS LACKING.
Woman Under Arrest for Kidnapping
Is Not the One Whose Detention
Would Have Been So Stanliu.
Sharon, Pa., March 25. An air of
what might have hapoened ' per nov
ates the Whitla Kidnapping caso in
this ctiy and vicinity today. Yesterday
and last night sensational disclosures
were expected to occur in Cleveland.
It is apparent today, however, that
none of these anticipated developments
are going to materialize. Therefore
Sharon is rapidly approaching the nor
mal tenor of its way. The kidnapping
case was exciting but the develop
ments hinted at yesterday would have
been startling. They did not come and
while everything pointed for a time in
that direction deductions were wrong.
The woman under arrest in the case
is not tne one wnose laenuncauon
would have caused a great sensation
in the abduction case. -
It is believed now that it was some
western woman who married Boyle
and is unknown to members of the
Wfaitla family. Her remark at the
time of her arrest In Cleveland that
There will be hell in Sharon when
Buhl hears of it," has, it is generally
said now, no special significance. All
are inclined to think it a chance say
ing. .
The woman now held at Cleveland is
the same woman who accompanied
Boyle to this city recently for the pur
pose of attending the funeral of John
Boyle, owner of the Shenango House,
an uncle. Boyle introduced the wom
an as his wife. ..
Attempts were made this morning to
establish a relationship between the
woman and a prominent family in this
city. Th3 Sharon family owns a large
department store, but when a member
was asked if the woman was a relative
denied it ery emphatically.

MR. JOS. ISAACS DEAD.
Well Known Merchant Fell on Sleep
This Morning After Long Illness.
From Friday's Daily.
While not unexpected the announce
ment is none the less received with
sincere sorrow in this community,
where he was held in universally high
esteem, that Mr. Jos. Isaacs is dead.
For months he had been a great suf
ferer wich some internal trouble that
gradually t apped his energy and final-
iy prostrated him, and for many weeks
;iis death, that came this morning at
tl o'clock, has been recognized as in
evitable. "
Every attention that skilled physi
cians, hokji'tal, trained nurses and de
voted loved onfs could bestow upon
him was aLundnntly given, and while
-hese southed his slow decline and
made him to feel that every effort was
jeing done for him they could not
itay the stealthy approach of the grim
sergeant, who has at length summoned
aim to his long home.
For more than a quarter of a cen
tury Mr. Isaacs has conducted a suc
cessful mercantile business In this
city, coming here in his young man
hood, and he has ever held the confi
dence and cordial esteem of all who
inew him.
He was happily married to Miss
Laura Lachman, of this city, and to
.heir union five children were born,
tour daughters and one son These are
Mrs. Ellis Goldstein, of Dunn; Mr. Sol
and Misses Ida, Freda and Jennie
Isaacs, by whom, with his devoted'
wife, he is survived, and who in their t
reat bereavement and unspeakable '
iorrow have the tenderest sympathy of
ill our people.
Mr. Isaacs was 55 years of age on
che 25th of December last, and up to
.he time Le was stricken with his fatal
iisease was vigorous and active as any
nan in the community.
The funeral, conducted by Rabbi J.
A. Mayerberg, will be held from the
iome, on John street, north, Sunday
