MRS. O’BRIEN’S STORY THE LADY WHOSE ACTS IN VOLVED THE WHOLE ARMY. She W»* Not the Cnnae of the Broker Engagement of Mlaa IlomcyD—A Bit ter lujnutlce Righted—BIm llomeyn'i Unpopularity the Cause. ¥IEUT. O'B r I e n'j charming wife—the indirect cause of Oapt. Romeyn’* court-martial and sentence of dismis sal from the United States itrray malntalned abso lute silence during the long trial, but she gave to the Writer the first full and frank statement that has been made of her side of the famou3 case which has agitated the United States army. She Is a little woman. Her manner Is captivating; her conversation shows education and culture. As she spoke with fervor aoi earnestness she looked fondly upon her husband, who was pacing up and down the porch. “It’s a hard situation," said Lieut. OTirien, “In which I find myself. The case should never have gone lo a court, but should have been settled in another and more effective way. I at first felt tha! physical redress exacted by a man of thirty-three from one of sixty three would have been criticised, yet now I wish that 1 had forgotten that Capt. Romeyn was sixty-three.’’ "When I first came to the post," said Mrs. O’Brien, "Mrs. Romeyn visited me and said that the bachelor officers at Fort McPherson were horrid. They did not dance with the married women and they did not call on tVra. I thought it was queer, becau- I had \ 'IV 1 ' LIEUT. OBRIEN’S WIFE. always found bachelors In the army to be nice to married ladies. The bach elors called at our quarters and al ways danced with me. But Capt. Romeyn’s wife said that some of the married ladles would not go to the hops any more. I said: “ ’Well, if I went to the hops and bachelors did not dance with me I would etay at home, but I certainly would not talk about It.’ “Mrs. Lieut. Martin and Mrs. Lieut. Kalk both said the same thing. The bachelors were nice to me, and nice to a young girl who visited me during the winter. I Invited the bachelors to my house to dinner for my guest, and they were always nice, as was natural. Mr. Bamford and Mr. O’Brien have al ways been good friends. When Mr. Bamford and Mr. Shaw stopped house keeping Mr. Bamford came to our house to mess. In January MM.s Rom eyn announced that she w. engaged to Mr. Bamford. which was the foun dation of all the trouble. Win n Mr. O’Brien spoke to Mr. Bamford about it be did not deny It. 1 ti gave Mr. O’Brien very clearly t •• understand that he was no; eng.tg. . to her.

I think It a pretty good indication of the whole thing that Captain Romeyn was only supported by men who had known him a short time and all the other officers of the regiment took the other side. “The singular feature of the court martial was that It drifted away from the trial of an officer charged with con duct unbecoming a gentleman, to attack the character and motives of a woman who was not on trial, who had no part In It, and yet who was made to bear the brunt of the scandal. If the evidence there given should be permitted to stand unanswered It would appear that she was the accused. It was a case In which my name was bandied about until I and not Captain Romeyn seemed to be the one on trial, Here was a court-martial composed of officers of the United States army list ening to petty stories, Idle gossip, w'hose repltltion could not have been tolerated in any civil court. “There are In every army posts of course, two classes of women, as there are In every other station of life. One keeps posted, reads magazines and takes pleasure In intellectual pursuits and In the prevailing forms of exercise. There Is the other, composed of mpre housekeeping drudges, reading neither newspapers nor magazines, taking no Interest In public affairs, but content ing themselves with the Idle gossip, speaking over the back fences, as you might say, to each other about those who do not notice them. Those peo ple rely for their mental pabulum upon the most. Idle of gossip and are tho r ady victims of servants who carry tales from house to house. Killed on tli« Third-Itnll Komi. Thomas Kelly, 70 years of age, of Hartford, Conn., was killed the other afternon on the third-rail electric road Just established between Hartford and New Britain. The motor car of the train which ieft New Britain at 12 o'clock struck him. Kelly wras stand • in' i Jinuau u»«r i i iv liver between the thinl-rnll track and 'he track of the New York, New Hav en and Hartford railroad. The train consisted of a motor and a closed car. Kelly was In plain sight, but, passen gers say, the motorman didn't slow up. He blew the whistle, but Kelly did not get off the track, and still the train did not slow up. When Keliy was struck the body fell through the bridge to the river bank. The motor man didn't slow up, according to the story of a passenger, till some one called his attention to the accident. Then the train was stopped and hack ed to the bridge. The conductor and a few passengers got off the train and looked through the bridge at the body. The conductor sang out, “'All aboard,” and the train started for Hartford. The motorman didn't leave his post. Kelly was the first victim of the third-rail road. Rilled While Picking Wood. James Dorsey, 14 years old, the son of a carpenter living at 75 Franklin avenue, Brooklyn, was Instantly kill ed the other aftcruoon while gathering wood. James and his brother, Wil liam, 11 years old, entered the yard at 40 Classon avenue, where scrap Iron Is stored. James discovered some wood under a pile of iron rails, and crawled under the iron, which it Is estimated weighed twenty tons. The iron was held in place by means o( j wood braces, and there was at least a f “>t of spare between the iron and the ground. Just as James crawled un der the brr.c s gave away and the Iron fell .upon the boy, crushing him tt death. T!»<* Npgro of ('rhnnn.

IOHN MADDICAN MYSTERIOUS LY SLAIN. iVIfe Locked l’p for Intoxication noil Awoke In a Mtopor to Kind llor tluw* hand Head Deputy Sheriff* Solution of the Cut. OHN Maddlgan la dead. John Maddi gan was the Hip Van Winkle of Port Chester, a quiet little villa on the New York, New Haven & Hartford Hallroad, about thlrty-flve miles from New York city. He was only forty years old. John Maddlgan was murdered and the authorities have no clue to the Identity of the man who took his life. Ills death was so mysterious that even the detectives are puzzled, and there Is but little possibility of the guilty one being brought to Justice. Maddlgan eked out a precarious live lihood for his wife and himself by do ing odd Jobs about the village. He was a harmless, good-natured fellow, a (ride too fond of drink, perhaps, but there are many who declare that he did not have an enemy In the world. When a one-horse circus, advertised as the "Edison Projector cope,” visited Port Chester the other day Maddlgan soon made fast friends with several of the attaches and Joined in their revels until midnight on Friday, when the company left for White Plains. About 2:45 o’clock the next morning, Charles B. Conaty and Benjamin F. Kelly passed the saloon of Harry Man ning. on East Broadway. As they ap proaehed the plaee they noticed a form lying prostrate on the sidewalk. JOHN MADDIGAN. '•Hello!” said Conaty, “here's old Balia-hooly’ Maddigan.” They shook him, but he failed to arouse. They found traces of blood, and summoned an ambulance, in which he was removed to the Ladies' Hospi tal. Dr. Stafford made an examination, and found that Maddigan was dying from a knife wound in the abdomen. It was reported that he had quarreled with his wife earlier in the night, and she was sent for. Mrs. Maddigan was not at home, however. She had been arrested in the street two hours be fore for intoxication and disorderly conduct, and lay stupefied in a prison cell. Her husband died soon after r< aching the hospital without making a statement. A trail of blood ran a dist ance of one hundred feet from where Maddigan lay in the street. M Leeeq, a photographer, who lives in the neighborhood in which Maddi gan was found, says he was awakened about 2:30 o'clock b y a noise *n the street. He opened a window and saw Maddigan and a strange man arguing on the corner. "Don't you raise a hand to me or you'll regret It!’ exclaimed the string «r, aa he drew a knife. There were a few more angry wctds and the two passed on. Lecoq noticed that Maddlgan <trrie I a bundle. When he waa pleki d up by Conaty and Kelly there was a loaf of bread under hit «rm. It was still warm and had been purchased at the store o* Hen ]a ruin R Mead about 5: to ■ clock.

J. W. Dougherty, pastor of ibo Apostolic church in Richmond, Va.. claims, by the exercise of falth j healing powers to have restored r< ason to Miss Anna M. Goode, of Salpm, Va. Mr. Dougherty lately left the Baptist church, estab lished a new denomination, and has built up a large congregation. S. D. Goode asked him at a meeting to try to heal his daughter, who. after hear ing a sermon on hell and Its terrors, lost her mind. She Is a pretty girl, and was formerly the secretary to D. B Strausp, who, after attending a re vival meeting, resigned as president of a Salem bank and became an evangel ist. Miss Goode was running about the woods when Dougherty first saw her. "When she saw me,” says he. “she threw up her hands and cried out: ‘Oh, here Is the Lord come to save me.’ When I drew near her she did not run away In consternation as she was wont to do upon the approach of strangers, hut remained passive. “‘Are you the Lord?' she asked. I said: ‘Yes, and I command you to go to your home.’ “.She Immediately obeyed, walking quietly to the house, and to the sur prise of her family. 1 read the passage iu the Holy Scriptures, regarding the healing of the sick. We prayed and I annolnted her with oil. Her feature* relaxed, a new light came Into hei eyes, and she became a rational be ing.” Two days ago the minister received a letter from the young woman’s sis ter saying his patient had relapsed, and the family would ask for a com mission of lunacy. WOULD SELL HER HUSBAND. Ur*. Hauling Claim* the Right t.’inlet the MUnouri !,*»»•. Mrs. Hubert Hauling of 0316 Pattison avenue St. Louis has a husband foi sale. Negotiations for the sale were Insti tuted In Justice Harmon's court, St. Louis the other morning. Through her attorney, Mrs. Hauling Is proceeding under the provisions of chap. 169, secs. 8,846 and 8,849 of the Revised Statute* of 1889. The substance of these sections b that anyone declared guilty of vagran cy and found guilty of such charge by a Jury, may be sold at public auction for a term of six months. Of course, this means that the buyer may place the defendant in servitude for the length of time prescribed. Mrs. Kauiing's story, as recited in het petition, is that her husband has neg lected to support her. In short, the effect of her accusation is that Haul ing has that tired feeling—too lazy tc work. Mrs. Kauiing's Idea Is to have him placed upon the block, his service* for six months sold to the highest bid der, the proceeds In excess of the le gal costs to go to her support. St. Ixtuis lawyers are much inter ested In the Hauling case. It develop* that the Supreme Court has ruled In a parallel case to that of Hauling that the act authorizing the sale of vag rants Is unconstitutional. A queer com plication of the statutes is also dis closed. It is generally agreed that tht sale of Hauling will be a failure front a legal standpoint. On page 83 of the 117th Missouri re ports is the story of a negro by th* name of Thompson who was arrested in Audrian county in 1893 on the same charge brought against Kaolin-;. He was found guilty of vagrancy. The con stable took charge of the negro and an nounced the day of sale. Meanwhile habeas corpus proceedings were insti tuted and the case reached the Su preme Court. On June 19, 1893. the curt e-n lane ruled that 'he statute un der which the negro was to be sold wa* ! in contravention of the Federal Conuti j tution. The negro was discharged j from custody without bring sold, l bs 9 HUlKUr KAl'UNO. llba I lnUMua in ihia emm waa writ tea by Judg« HMiwiuhI «bt| tb* «atlt* baavb I rutUU|lt4 wild* I* »«*.

Tha tells the story o the awful fate o George Kauffinann of Sterling, 111. The other nlghi he stood guard ovei his father's gran ary to protect 11 from thieves, whc killed him at hie post an^ sought to wipe out the evl dence of their fiendish cruelty with fire. All that remained of him was a corpse, with Its throat cut, Its skull crushed and Its head bullet-pierced a charred lump of flesh. There was no clue to the demons who committed the crime. George Katiffmann was the son of Tobias Kauffman, a farmer living about five miles north of Sterling, He was 22 years old. He was murdered by a person or persons whom he had caught In the act of stealing oats from his father’s granary, and a fruitless effort was made to destroy the body by burning It on a stack of straw. Farmer Kauffmann has two dwell ing houses with about a quarter of a mile between them. He left his old home for his present dwelling about a year ago, but continued to use some of the buildings attached to th<‘ former ievidence. He found the old stables an available place for his hogs. Near by was a granary, and in it he kept a store of grain. The old house was tenant ^ / If l> 1 GEOROE KAUFFMANN, leas aud the new dwelling was so fat away that the granary offered a tempt ing opportunity for any man who wanted to steal up under cover of night and carry away Its stock of grain Farmer Kauffmann discovered some time ago that a thief or thieves were I aiding his granary, and he laid plant to Circumvent them. He asked his son George to take up his night quarters in the deserted home and watch for the plunderers. George Kauffmann began his vigils seme weeks ago. He slept on a bunk and kept the window open in order that he might better see and hear any one who might intrude upon the prem ises. He was unsuccessful and regu larly went hack to the other house for breakfast. The other morning he did not come at the usual hour. The family waited some time without concern. Then the father became alarmed ami started for the old house to investigate, accom panied by Charles Schrader, the hired mat.. They w^nt to the house first, hut there v s no trace of the young man. They hurried tnrough the outbuildings, but found no sign of him. They saw and scented the straw stack, which had been nearly burned down and was still smoldering, and they went to examine It. They were horrified to find on (he top of the sm iking stack th* body of young Kauffmanti burned to a crisp and with the clothing ail e mutinied The thief, caught In his crime, had wteuked a tearful vengeatc'.

For several » i weeks the women managers of the ( | Protestant Orphan asylum have dis ■ | cussed tha defalcation in meetings pledged to secrecy. Though the books of the asylum have showed a large balance, when money was wanted it could not bo had. The treasurer fin ally stated that she had given the 1 money to her husband and could not 1 obtain It. When the officers of the In stitution applied to the bank where the funds had been deposited they were refused a statement, the treas urer having ordered that statements should be given only to herself. A new treasurer was elected and u de mand made for a settlement. The former treasurer then wrote a letter to the officers stating that the missing money had been used to pay for the living expense's of her family during the past three or four years, and that she could not replace it. The asylum's officers refuse to discuss the matter for publication, hoping to recover seme of the missing funds. The asyl um is managed by the leading society women of St. Paul.

They were riding their bicycles through a pasture field, near Harrison ridge a day or two ago, when the ani mal charged upon them. The young women made a burst of speed, but ter ror robbed them of power and the pur suer gained rapidly. In despair they sprang from their wheels and scram bled up a tree, reaching a safe position lust In time The till'll “cnhlinil nf ht* prey,” an the young women said later, then turned his attention to the bi cycles. and the wheelwornen from their uncomfortable perch watched helpless ly while the animal wrecked their wheels. For two hours the hull paced .around the tree, when a farmer ar rived and retcied the young women, after driving the animal away. WED IN SPITE OF DEATH. Ml«k Ifriimiriiiilc Married on tli» Day of Her Mother * Funeral* All was ready for the marriage of Miss Harriet M. Hrinsmade and S. Robert Hart. The little house at No. 40 Spring street. New Haven, had been newly painted and decorated. The near friends of the couple had been invited and the clergyman engaged. And then came death without an in vitation, and showed his ugly face in the door of the pretty home. Mrs. Julia Hrinsmade, the mother of the hride-to-be, died suddenly of heart disease. "Let us get married Just the same,” said Mr. Hart. “What harm is there in it. I am sure your mother herself would advise such a course. You have no immediate relatives, now she is dead. You need the protection of a husband. You have no brothers and sisters to be shocked. Let us have a quiet wedding and go right to keeping house. I am sure it will be for the best.” William W. Pardee, a conductor on the Consolidated road, who is an uncle of the young woman, opposed a mar riage so close upon the heels of death. Her employers, Buckingham, Clark & Jackson, also advised her to wait a little, and offered to advance h> r sal ary. But Miss Hrinsmade agreed with bar lover. “The house is all ready for tis." she said. “1 cannot afford to keep it if 1 remain single, and | would not ask Robert to pay the rent.'* So the momentous question was set MUS ilMtNJM VDR IU4.
