Wedding Day Set. He was persistent, however, and the girl recently consented to an engagement. Their wedding was set to take place withip a month. It was al! to be kept a secret frcm the parents of the prospective bridé- grcom until the ceremony kad been. per- formed. The young man’s father arrived from Indianapolis on Saturday, to the consterna- tion of his son. Some one had written to Mr. French informing him of the inter- esting situation. After the first greeting was over Mr. French said: ‘arl, I ha come to take you home.” The announcement came Ii huae bolt to the young man. He b father to allow him to matry Helen Hunt, and when Mr. French declined to consider such a proposition the boy declared that he would marry her or commit suicide. The interview, as may be judged, was a stormy one. Mr. French kept the boy under close sur- veillance. Totay was set as the time for the journey home. Yesterday Carl begged to be allowed to see his sweetheart once more. - “I must say good-bye to her,” he said. Mr. French relented to the extent of al- lowirg a last interview, but he stipulated that the two were not to go out of his sight. $t was late yesterday afternoon when the two heartbroken lovers met. They were allowed by Mr. French to walk to Sunset Park, the father following at the respectful distance of about forty feet. Leaped to Death. The lovers walked to-the north side of the park. “They reached the big bluff over- lcoking the deep precipice, and seemed to be engaged in earnest conversation. The girl leaned forward and peered for a sec- ond into the depths. ‘Then she drew back and put her hand in the nand of her lover. The two then em- braced and with aris entwined about each other together leaped over the precipice. Mr. French, who had been keeping a watch upon them, darted forward with a wild cry of terror and grief. He looked over the bluff, and far below he saw the two bodies. ‘As quickly as he could he climbed down the bluff. The boy was dead. His neck had been broken. The girl's head was crushed, and she was internally injured® She died in a few moments. Mr. French gave the alarm, and help was quickly at hand. The bodies of the two lovers were quickly conveyed to the home of the girl's parents. Buried Side by Side. The parents of both of the victims are nearly erazed with grief. The entire com- munity is excited by the tragedy, and each little incident in the acquaintanceship of the lovers is tenderly recalled. ‘ ‘The funeral services over the two bodies tock place at the Methodist Church. The chureh was filled to overflowing, and the two caskets were literaily covered with flowers. Side by side the two were buried in the old Bonair cemetery, Mr.~ French. saying he did not have the heart to sep- arate them. Se CLOAKMAKERS WIN THEIR STRIKE.

Proposition to Make New York's Penal Institutions Self-Supparting. A special to the New Ytrk World from Albany, says: Senator Wilcox, chairman of the committee on penal tnstitutions, said today that so far as his investigations hud progressed he was satisfied’ that the indus- tries in the prisons shéuld be added to by the establishment of 4 flour manufactory and cooperage plant ‘at’ 6ne or more of the state prisons, ‘ y The amtual consumptioi of flour by the inmates cf state institutions is about 130, 000 barrels. It has been the growing trend of legislation to make the prisons and re- formatories not only self-supporting, if possible, but, in a reeiprecal way, to pre- duce the exact articles they consume. It is thought by the committee that there is ro way that the present: systam of prison jJabor could show better:-results than in the manufacture of); its: principal diet— bread. acd ? plan of the committee is to suggest The that none but stateegrown- wheat be pur- chased, so that what. objection there might be from the grange and the farmers will be overcome.

Mr. George Gray, who lives at No. 1300 13th street, called on the police this after- noon to report the loss of a $5 bill.

The republicans entered upon the cam- paign of the ycar with a serious factional trouble on hand. The control of the party machine passed at the time, as the result of the recent primary elections, from the bands of the friends of Governor Bushnell into those of the friends of Serator Hanna. In the organization of the new state exec- utive committee Goverror Bushnell was wholly ignored, notwithstanding the fact that he as candidate for re-election is deep- ly interested in the result of the election. His friends were thrown out of the execu- tive committee as summarily as_ though they belonged to another party. This was generally regarded by the ceoler heads of the party as ill-advised and unfortunate. Stull, Governor Bushnell acquiesced in the choice of Executive Chairman George K. Nash of this city, a man who, while he has always been known as a member of the faction now led by Senator Hanna, has al- ways dealt fairly with the other faction, and it is believed he would not permit the committee under his charge to deal unfairly with either the governor or the senator. Enforced Harmony. Outwardly at least all is now harmony and the two wings of the party seem to be working together for victory. The fact probably is that neither Governor Bushnell ror Senator Hanna would grieve much if the other should fail of electicn, but they are in the same boat so far as the conduct of the campaign is concerned. Neither cou'd do anything to injure the other's chances for election without by the same aet injuring his own. Fer reasons wholly selfish, if for no 9ther motive, therefore, the governor and the senator are quite cer- ‘amy to prove a true and a strong team in the state campaign. The seriousness of the condition of Gov- ernor Bushneli's health has been oyer- ated. The fact is that nothing more seri- © than the need of rest is the matter with the governor. He is a man of large business affai On assuming the duties of the governor's office, he laid aside none ef his pri The double load was too heavy, and the illness frém which he is new. suffer: ics coming physical breakdown if he persists in overwork. He is now resting in the White mountains and will not be back until next nonth. News cofnes that his health is rap- ly improving, and there is not the slight- t doubt that he will be able to stand as a candidate and conduct a vigorcus campaign. There has been little room for doubt frora the beginning abcut the result of the legis- lative elections. The republicans gerry- mendered the senaterial districts ten years ago. Though the demecrats should carry the state by a large majority, they could ope, under the present system of dis- is dog. Now’) to control the senate. The republi- cans will be sure to have two votes io the democrats’ one in the next senate. The large counties—Hamilton, a, Lu- cas and Montgomery, and probabl: Franklin—are quite certain to be carried by the republicans. Their combined dele- gations will give the republicans such a lead in the house that with the sure rural republican counties the democrats can hardly hope to secure even a bare major- ity in the lower house. Aid to the Republicans. The failure of the proposition for fusion between the democrats and the populists, however it was brought about, is a matter } of great advantage to the republicans. Last year the fusion of these two parties was complete in this state. The election re- turns offer no means of determining the strength of the populists in Ohio last year, but the year before that, when Coxey was at the head of their state ticket as candi- date for governor, the party polled 50,000 votes. The plurality of the McKinley electors in Ohio last year was about 50,000, No doubt many thousand sound money democrats voted for McKinley, however, but they are likely to vote the repubiican legislative ticket this year also, and per- haps the republican state tickgt, too, for the democratic platform takes’ no step backward on the silver question, and the free silver press of the state is very bitter toward the gold democrats. The demo- cratic candidate for governor, Mr. Chap- man, is a very popular man, and, though an ardent free silver man, would probably get the votes of meny of the gold demo- crats but for the vituperative treatment of them indulged in by the hot-headed free silver democratic organs. It 1s possible that the fusion element of the populists will call another state con- vention and indorse the regular democratic state ticket, but the candidacy of John R. Mclean tor the Senate is an obstacle in the way of this, for even the fusionist popu- lists are bitterly opposed to his election to succeed Senator Hanna. It will hardly be possible for any of the small parties to get on the Australian ballot this year, at any rate. Unless they cast more than 10,300 votes last fall they are held by law to have lost their standing as parties, and are mere aggregations. As such they can only demand place on the baliot by petition, signed by at least 10,300 voters. It will be quite a task to secure so many signatures. The Cleveland Plaindealer is showing apathy in the state campaign, and rumor has it that but little can“be expected ofit. The owner, L. E. Holden, is said to be of- fended at the prominence given McLean of the Cincinnati Encu‘rer as the candi- date of the party for the Senate. Holden was an advocate of free silver long before it became a distinctively party issue, and has been identified with the democratic party in this state much more closely and for a great deal longer time than Mr. Mc- Lean has. Republicans Have Sinews of War. As usual in state campaigns here, the republicans have much the better of the fight as regards the sinews of war. There ig not now a single democrat in office under the state government. Gov. McKinley re- tained a few where. the law allowed him to supersede them with demdcrats, but Governor Bushnell has dismissed those. The whole roster is subject to assessment, for the use of the party in the campaign. The assessments are limited only by the willingness of the appointees of the ad- ministration to contribute. Usually a large sum is secured. The democrats will have comparatively little money to use. It is not likely that the national free silver or- ganization will contribute any considerable sum to the democratic -cause in this state. The bulk of the fund that the democrats will have to run the‘r state campaign with will be formed out of the contributions from the state candidates. and whatever John R.
