& ET esas KILLED BY HIS FIANCEE. Tragic Ending to an Evening’s Entertainment. Decatur, Ill., Jan. 31.—Coroner Bendure returned at noon to day from the A. R. Edwards farm, four- teen miles southeast of Decatur, where at 1 a. m. he held an inquest on the body of David Lambert, age 19 years, who was accidentally shot in the head and almost instantly kill- ed ut 10 o'clock last night by Miss Maggie Truelock,his promised bride. The tragedy, occurred at the house of J. A. Paslep, on the Edwards place, in the presence of Leslie Bel- dou and wife. Lambert and Miss Truelock were playing a game of seven up, and Lambert, remov ing, as he supposed, all of the car- tridges from a self cocking revolver he bad in his pocket, placed it on the table, saying that the first one who quarreled about the game should be shot This was all iu a joke. Sovn after Lambert objected to a play,and Miss Truelock quickly pick- ed up the revolyer and pointing it at Lambert's head, ina jokmg way said: “Now, Davie you know what you said about quarreling ” At the same moment the weapon was discharged aud the bullet piere- ed Lambert's brain over the left eye. He died within an hour and did not speak a word after he was shot Miss Truelock is nearly craz ed with grief Morphine is used to keep her quiet. The jury said that Lambert was killed by an accidental shot fired by Miss Truelock. The couple were to have been married when Lambert had reached 21 years of age. Rather Steep.

The Ledger was founded in 1836, by three journeymen printers— Messrs. Swain, Abell and Siumonus— and bad prospered greatly. The Ledger was founded as a penny pa- per, and had gained a very large cir- culation, but when the price of white puper increased so evormously, as it did during the civil war, the great circulation was actually a source of loss, since the white paper on which the paper was printed was wor h more than the printed sheet sold fcr. Under these circumstances the Led- ger, in spite its popularity, was fall ing steadily behind, and was pub- lished at a loss of about $150,000 a year. It required great courage to pur- chase a newspaper under such cii- cumstances, but Mr. Childs dete:- mined to take the risks, and purchas ed the Ledger for a sum slightly in excess of the amount of its annual logs.

In Baltimore on May 12, 1829, Mr Childs was born, and in that city he gained his early education, James Parton, the historiau, says of him: “He has told his friends that in his 10th year, when school was dismiss ed for the summer, he took the place of errand boy in a bookstore and spent the vacation in bard work. This was not romantic, but it was highly hovorable to a little fellow to be willing thus to work for the treas- ures that boys desire. At 13 he en tered the United States navy and spent fifteen months in the service and experience and discipline not without good results upcen his health and character.” Mr. Childs came to Philadelphia from Baltimore when but 14 years old. He was nearly penniless, aid knew but one family in. the city. Within a few days after his arrival this family removed, and thus he was left entirely alone and friendless He obtained employment at once, however, as errand boy in a vook- store at a weekly salary of $3.
