DEATH OF W ..1.LKER BLAINE. The Son of Secretary Blaine Dies of Pneumonia. WASHINGTON, January 15. — Walker Blaine, examiner of claims in the state department, and eldest son of James G. Blanc, secretary of state, died of peeu- moms, superinduced by an attack of the grippe. He had been ill only a few days, and his death is a sudden and severe shock to an unusually large circle of friends who were not aware that he was dangerously ill until this morning The family are prostrated with grief. He was not i'veling well all last week,and Friday he became much worse and was compel- led to take his bed. The secretary gave a dinner party on Monday night to a number of people prominent in official society, and Walker Blaine was feeling so much better that he sat up for some time chatting with the guests, and after- wards walked about the house. Ile con- tracted additional cold which settled on his lungs and developed into acute pneu- monia last night. This morning his con- dition was so alarming that all the im- mediate relatives of the family were hastily summoned flume by telegrayle He was delirious most of the day with exceeding high temperature and pain- fully labored respiration. Walker Blaine graduated from Yale College in 1S76, and studying law, re- ceived his diploma from Columbia Col- lege, New York, in 1578, and in 18S1, while Garfield was on his deathbed he sent for Walker Blaine and appoleted him third assistant secretary of state, saying he appreciated his ability, and desired to show it. After serving in this capacity for nearly a year he was ap- pointed on the Alabama claims commis- sion, where he served with great credit from 1:482 to 1885. On the advent of the present administration he was appointed solicitor to the state department, a posi- tion which he has also filled with great credit and ability. President and Mrs. Harrison called very soon after Mr. Elaine's death, and Vice Presideet and Mrs. Morton came soon atterwards. Ju-tices Harlan fuel Gray, it the supreme court, most of the members of the Maine delegation, Rep- resentative Hitt. and many others well known in official and social life, also called. A Mother's Terrible Crime. Sr. Part., Jan.16.—A Faribault, Minn., special to the Pioneer Press says: One of the most shocking tragedies that ever occurred in this county took place this morning at the residence of James Mc- Neill, near Cannon Lake. McNeill arose about 5 o'cluck and went into the kitch- en to build the tire. Mrs. McNeill slip- ped out after him and locked the door, then went back into the bedroom, took a revolver from a bureau drawer and shot her three children. O'Neill heard the shots and tried to go into the bed- room, but could not get in. Ile then started around the house and went in the front door, and met his wife coming from the kitchen, where she had chased the oldest child, and made her take car- bolic acid, and also took some herself. The little girl evidently struggled very hard with her mother as her face and hands were covered with acid. (me child was killed instantly and one died about 10 o'clock this morning. The little baby, three weeks old, wa.s shot through both lungs, but at last reports is still alive. The woman and the little girl to whom she gave acid are also alive and may live. Mrs. McNeill gives as a reason for the terrible deed that she had been sick and had no hope of getting well, and wanted to end her sufferings at once. Mrs. McNeill is the daughter of Edward Tollister, of Hopkins station. Dr. Jackson, the attending physician, says unless inflammation of the stomach sets in, the woman and little girl will probably live. His Family Had Perished. Emile Etoine, a puddler in the employ of the Cambria Iron Company at Johns- town, left that place shortly before the flood of May 31st and went to his native place in Germany for the purpose of taking possession of some property left him by a relative. The will was con- tested, and the wife and five children he left behind heard nothing from him. Ile was finally successful in his suit, and a few days ago he returned with a draft for $20,000 in his pocket. On reaching Johnstown he was amazed to see the desolation wrought by the flood, of which he had heard nothing, and vigilant in- quiry on his part has failed to reveal to CIGARS AND CHOICE BEVERAGES.. him the fate of his wife and children. The house ie which he lived was swept away, and it is presumed that his family %VHS buried anionic the unidentified dead, ! its they were but little known and their names do not appear upon the roll of deaths. Etoine will return to Germany. MRS. OUSTER. The Widow of the Brave Cavalry Leader and Her Work. I occasionally meet on the street Mrs. Custer, wife of that great cavalry leader, who has often been called the 'Marion\ of the civil war, writes a correspondent of the New York Star. She spends most of her time in New York, earning her living by writing for the newspapers. I recall her when she was a beautiful young girl, known to everyone as Libby Bacon. She was the (laughter of Judge Bacon, of Monroe, Michigan, and king before she was of age was one of the most popular girls of the Wolverine state. The name of Custer is still re- vered by old soldiers, especially those who live in Michigan. where he is look- ed upon as the real hero of the late war. Mrs. Custer is almost as much admired as her illustrious husband was. After she married the general she was nearly always by his side. For two years she virtually sat in Washington with her valise in hand, waiting to go to the front. She was always the first woman i camp after a battle; and would have been de- lighted to have followed her gallant hus- band in his impetuous onsets upon the enemy She never seemed to know what fear was, and many times put herself in great peril. She was in Richmond two days before her husband reached there, and almost before the sound of the guns had ceased to reverberate about the Con- federate capital. Just after the surren- der, when her husband came up from Nottaway court house to take her 4o his headquarters, he remarked \that it loot- ed pretty tied for a general to be beaten into Richmond by Ws wife, after he had been trying for four years to get there first.\ Of course, Custer, like all other sol- diem, died poor, and his wife and family are practically without resources, except the pitiful pension of *50 a month that the government has granted. Mrs. Cus- ter has IL great ninny relics of the war, left by her husband and given to her by different officers of the army. Besides possessing the first flag of truce the Con- fedmates brought into our lines as the beginning of Eee's surrender, she has the flag of truce carried by her husband into the Confederate lines. She also has much valuable data about the cavalry arm of our rervice that has never vet been given to the public. It is really a pity that a fair history of this branch of the service has not yet been written, or even seriously contemplated. I was pleased to learn that she is getting a fair income from her books and various other writings. 41MI. AN INTERESTING CASE, A Minneapolis Girl Secures $10,0n0 Dam- ages in the Federal Court. Minneapolis Tribune: Word comes front St. Paul that an interesting case has just been decided in the United States Supreme Court. On the 10th day of April. 1884, early in the evening, the plaintiff, a young girl, residing in Minne- apolis, attempted to cross Franklin av- enue in this city, and in the act of crossing was run over by a horse and wagon driven by a canvassing agent of the Singer Manufacturing company. The girl was frightfully cut and bruised, at the same time sustaining set bus and permanent internal injuries. She insti: tuted an action against the company in the district court of Hennepin county,to recover damages for this injury. The defendant caused this action to be re- moved to the United States circuit court, where it was tried. The jury found a verdict in favor of the plaintiff in the sum of $10,000. The defendant moved for a new trial and the motion was de- nied. Exploded Notions. There are a great many notione long exploded. Nobody believes, for example, that all women wear tight shoes. That all club men get drunk and don't go home till morning. That the children of fashionable wo- men are not well taken care of. That all boarding house tables are bad. That all women wear tight stays. That all women lay the seeds for rapid consumption by getting their petticoats wet on rainy days. That all women are jealous of each other. That all women are underpaid. That all mince pies are indigestible. That a little candy is unhealthy. That a fruit diet will save your body and h s a o t y soul. T our way is the right way, and mine is wrong. Nobody believes any of these things, except the people who lire such narrow lives that they think nothing good can come out ef Nazareth.—N. Y. Son. A HUSBAND ON TRIAL. A California Girl's Plan of Matrimony— Binding Contracts. A Fresno (Cal.) dispatch to the San Francisco Chronicle says: Among the many handsome young ladies who prom- enade the principal streets of Fresno, none are trimmer, neater, or prettier than Mary Wilson. she has a splendid form, is above medium height, with large brown eyes, brilliant auburn hair, elastic step and vivacious manners. She is high- ly educated, being a clever performer on many musical instruments. Mary is in her 22d year She is the daughter of a late wealthy rancher in Stanislaus coun- ty. When her father died he left her $100,000 in her own name. This handsome legacy did not make Mary flighty, as it would most girls. She said: \I will keep my property and add te it. I'm not above work.\ Mary be- came an apprentice to a dressmaker iu Modesto. She was very apt with her needle and soon mastered the trade. About a year ago she came to Freeno and went into partnership in the dress- making business with Miss Kiernan, a worthy young lady now running a simi- lar establishment in the Griffith build- ing. The firm was Kiernan 41k Wilson. It did a thriving business. Mary was compelled to go back to Mo- desto,and the partnership was dissolved. This was early last summer. On the 14th of October Mary returned to Fresno and entered the employ of the Misses Kier- nan, one of them being her former asse- elate in business. She has worked for them ever since up till last night. Some months ago Miss Wilson met Joseph Campbell, a young and prepos- sessing man, said to be a Sscramento farmer. he is a tall, handsome brunette. Joseph admired Mary, and sought her hand in marriage. Mies Wilson refused his offers, saying that ebe could take care of herself. Joseph persisted. Tlm more Joseph pressed his suit Ole higher became Mary's admiration for hint She liked his perseverance. /der heart at last thawed, and she consented to be- come Mrs. Campbell for the brief period of sir months. \Joe said Mary in her most bewitch- ing way, \I'll marry you for eix motithe. At the end of that time, if marriage is a failure, we will find it out, and we era go our ways.\ \No I don't marry for sit months. I want to live with you always.\ \I shall never live with a man alwa-tt unless I can live with him happily,\ re- plied the spirited Mary. Joseph finally consented to the six months' plan. I.ast night Mary drew up a contract for the six months' marriage. Joseph and she signed it and they Le - came man and wile. The contract is said to be very binding, and expressly states that if Joseph sets drunk during the six months, the document becomes null and void. Mary's friends hope that at the expiration of the time of the obligation may be renewed, and that married for six months may he married forever. - The Throop Avenue Presbyterian church, Brooklyn, N. Y., was wrecked T.tursday morning h; a high wind. The debris lodged in a small house adjoining, killing or injuring all the inmates, seven in number. Five were killed outright. -.- DINING CAR BERVICE ON THE UNION PACIFIC. We take pleasure in announcing that ELEGANT DINING CARS are now run daily on the Union Pacific railway.
