ORLEANS
Dr. Konrad KETTNER, a German having a commanding address and gentlemanly
bearing, recently located at Lyons. He came direct from Berlin. He soon
ingratiated himself with some of the best German citizens, who found him to
be well educated and accomplished. Shortly after him came a young lady from
Berlin, whom KETTNER received as his betrothed and the two were married not
long since. They went to housekeeping, and although the Doctor's practice
failed to grow he found no difficult in obtaining all the necessities and
some of the luxuries of life by seeking assistance of his acquaintances who
were glad to help the young man to get a start. Last Saturday evening Dr. and
Mrs. KETTNER dropped in upon some near neighbors for an informal call. After
a few moments the Doctor excused himself, saying he would go to prepare some
medicine for a patient. The wife followed a few moments later to seek her
husband and return. In less than thirty minutes from that time KETTNER and
wife were aboard the evening train for the West, with tickets for Sioux City,
Iowa. Most everybody who befriended the stranger found himself a loser, some
to a considerable extent.

firing the barn by a man named WHITBECK, who says that SAXTON asked him to

LIVELY WHILE IT LASTED
About 5 o'clock last evening as F. J. HAWES, proprietor of the Windsor Hotel,
was alighting from his buggy in front of Feiock's grocery store, the horse
took fright at a passing tricycle and ran away. It dashed up East Main street
to the corner of Clinton street where it turned southward. The carriage
struck the stepping stone in front of the residence of Dr. COOK and was
overturned and badly wrecked. The harness breaking the animal was freed from
its entanglement and ran into the yard at the rear of the Whitcomb House
where it was caught. With the exception of a few scratches the horse was
uninjured by its escapade.

HAMILTON'S WHEREABOUTS A MYSTERY
Atlantic City, Sept. 3 - Captain PERRY, of counsel for the defense, is very
confident that if Mrs. HAMILTON's case ever reaches a jury it will take a
favorable view of the circumstances that led to the stabbing. Sheriff JOHNSON
says that while everything possible is being done for Mrs. HAMILTON, she
shows signs of nervous prostration. The sheriff to-day had a long conference
with Counselor PERRY. Both refuse to make known what it was about.
It is reported Assemblyman HAMILTON is in Reading, Pa.; but the general
belief here is that he is in New York or vicinity.
*******************
NURSE DONNELLY'S RECORD
Atlantic City, Sept. 3 - It is rumored that the lawyers have discovered Nurse

surveillance until the case is disposed of. To-day baby HAMILTON was taken by
Mrs. RUGG to see Mrs. HAMILTON. The latter was in a most deplorable state of
nervous prostration and paid but little attention to the child. Mrs. RUGG is
credited with saying this evening that Mrs. HAMILTON's chief anxiety seems to
be a fear that Mr. HAMILTON will desert her.
*****************
FUNERAL INSTEAD OF A WEDDING
A Southern Girl Arrayed in her Bridal Trousseau, Falls Dead.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept 3 - The daughter of Colonel John McFADDEN, of Bowder
Springs, was to have been married yesterday to Edward SMITH of Charleston.
Colonel McFADDEN, who is one of the leading planters of Cobb county, resolved
to make the wedding a grand social occasion. The bridal trousseau was ordered
from New York, and young ladies were present from several States to act as
bridesmaids.
Sunday night the bride expectant arrayed herself in her robes for the
inspection of her friends. Suddenly she put her hand to her forehead with a
scream and fell to the floor dead. The body arrayed as it was for the wedding
was laid out for burial, and when Mr. SMITH went up at 2 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, which was the appointed time, he found that he was at a funeral
instead of a wedding. He was so overcome that he could not go to the burial.

Troy, Sept. 3 - Mr. James G. BLAINE and Miss Harriet BLAINE are now guests at

MONTANA'S FOREST FIRES
Snow Comes to the Relief of the Western Woodsmen
Helena, Mont., Sept. 3 - The forest fires which have been raging in the
mountains for the last six weeks are now supposed to have been extinguished
by the heavy rain and snow which fell last night. In the vicinity of
Elliston, snow four to six inches deep covers the ground.
The fires raged fiercely Saturday and Sunday. Fifteen hundred people turned
out at Elliston and other places to fight the fire. They worked all night
Saturday and until half past one Sunday night. Many came out with scorched
faces, burned clothing and blood shot eyes. Huge cinders were flying in the
air. In the morning the tops of the range was covered with snow, a very rare
occurrence at this season of the year. The fire still moulders in the trunks
of trees and may take a fresh start if the wind rises. Many bridges have been
burned, as well as miner's cabins. The snow fall saved the town of Jay Gould
and the gold mill and mining property there. The fire at Ten Miles was fierce
and disastrous. STURRICKS & BROWN'S mill is in ruin. The timber in that
section was mostly pine and was said to be the finest forest in Montana.
Hundreds of trees were four feet thick at the bottom. There was one pile of
logs twenty feet high and 300 feet long. The area burned is very large and
the occupation of the woodsman in that section is gone forever, as everything
was consumed.
