Rather than wait for one whole ir to
be wedded, and fearing also that at the ex
piration of that time religious prejudices
would still exist. John W. Deaslen and Miss
Dottle Cousins went to Clayton yesterday
afternoon, -where they were married by tho
Reverend B. H. Charles, pastor of the Clay
ton Presbyterian Church. They then re
turned home, but neither had courage to
confess tho truth to the bride's mother, and
It was not until two hours later that the
bride admitted that sho was married. Mrs.
Deaalor was then at tho home of her grand
mother. Mrs. Caroline Batchellor of No.
2KB Locust street.
Tho ecene at the Batchellor home last
night was Interesting when It was discov
ered that a descendant of tho family had
eloped. "Wlien informed of the event by a
reporter Sirs. Batchellor burst into tears
ajid said she was sorry, as her grand
daughter was only Ifi years old, and was a
Methodist, while her husband was a Cath
olic This, she thought, should have been
sufficient reason for airs. Cousins to oppose
the -match.
"WWle she was talking Mr. and Mrs. Deas
ler entered and took chairs In an uneasy
manner. The bride began to talk about the
weather, when her grandmother Interrupted
and asked if it was truo that sho had been
married.
"Well. I jrucss it Is," she said, "we wero
married at Clayton tins afternoon by a
Presbyterian minister. Mamma does not
know yet, although we were joking with
her at the supper table about marriage"
"Ob, she knew we wero engaged," con
tinsed tlie young bride. "We asked her
consent last February, and again last April.
Both thxes mamma refused, because she
thought I was too young. Last night wo
were at Porest Park Highlands and con
cluded we could not wait any longer. To
morrow night wc aro going to Kansas
City."
At Clayton Mrs. easier was even more
communicative. She told the Marrlago Li
cense clerk that she was IB years eld. and
to a, reporter stated that-her-husbiuid had
been boarding at bar father's home. She
said that her husband was an employe of
a wholesale grocery firm, and her father,
Enoch R. Cousins, was a traveling sales
man. Mr. Cousins is out of the city. His wife
did not have serious objections to the
match, sho said, although there was a dif
ference of religious opinions, and in addi
tion she considered her daughter entirely
too young.

task of cutting away a section of the cell
ing of the main waiting-room, which, when
completed, will give a view of the lower
waiting-room from the hall above. The sec
tion of the celling to be cut out Is about
thirty-five feet long and twenty feet wide.
When finished a balustrade will be built
around the opening, giving those in the
upper waiting-room a view of the lower.
Many travelers who pass through the Un
ion Station do not visit the upper hall, which
is spacious, with frescoed walls and ceil
ing, for the simple reason that they do
not know It exists, and many times when
the lower waiting-room is crowded there
are but few occupants of the grand hall.
The balustrade will occupy the center of

of Frank Lent..
CHARLES GAINES IMPLICATED.
Latter Admits That Tlis Comrade's
Confession. Drawn From Mini
by Kemorse. Is True De
tails of the Murder.
REPunuc srnciAU
Louisville, Ky., Aug. 27. Nearly mad
dened by a repetition of the scenes attend
ing the murder of his victim, which camo
to him in visions as he slept. Oliver Tom
linson, who has been In the Indiana Reform
atory nt Jeffersonvllle since July 5, to eave
him from mob violence, gave way to the
strain this morning and confessed to com
plicity in the killing of Frank Lentz. a
farmer, wlioe home was four miles south
of Bedford, Ind.
Tomrfnson reserved not one detail of the
dastardly deed.
In the presenco of Charles Gaines, who Is
Jointly accused, the story was told by Tom
llnson. Gaines, 'no longer able to conceal
his emotion, burled his face in his hands,
dropped to his knees, und cried out:
"It Is all true. 1 cut his throat."
"On Wednesday, Juno 27," said Tomlinson,
"Gaines and 1 met near my father's home
and planned to rob Frank Tyres'a apple
brandy distiller', one and one-half miles
Irom Frank Lentz's home, which was four
miles south of Bedford and Just across
Whlto River. We procured a number of
empty jugs and bottles and planted them in
the woods near Lentz's.
"Saturday night, June 30, at 10 o'clock.
Gaines and I met at Lentz's sate. Gaines
went Into the stable and hitched up lentz's
horse and buggy. I stood guard outside.
Gaines came driving out. He was on tho
right side of the buggy. As ho turned the
horse to let me (Jlirab into the buggy, and
I was walking behind tho rear wheels, a
man came riding up on a bicycle. I rec
ognized him as Lentz.
"I ordered Lentz to halt. Lentz sot off
his wheel. He was within fifteen feet ef
the buggy. I told him to come no nearer.
"Lentz approached. Again I warned h:m.
Still he pressed toward me. I shot. Lentz
reeled to the right, clutching at the gate
post. I tried to lire again, but my revolver
did not work. Lentz, who had fallen, aroso
with a stone In his hand, which he hurled
at us.
"Then I grabbed Lentz, but ho was tho
stronger and bigger man, and was getting
the best of me, when Gaines jumped out of
tho buggy, seized Lentz by the hair Just
over the forehead, pulled his head back
and cut his throat from ear to ear."
At this point in Tomlinson's confession
Gaines hissed: "It's a liel"
Tomlinson pretended not to hear, and re
sumed: "Then wo got Into the buggy, drove two
miles south and abandoned tho rig. Wo
turned the horse toward home, and there It
was found the next morning beside Its own
er. We crossed a field to a lake, took oft
our clothes, washed them, bathed our
selves and then separated, each going
homo.
"That Is all. Judge Martin may have no
mercy on us, but I have spoken tho truth."

Xcwb About Stamps.
An innovation in the postal service which
Is 6uro to be of great convenience to all classes
is a plan lately adopted by the department of
furnishing stamps in little books, with wax
si ects between tho stamps. The Government
Is to charge one cent for the book additional
to the amount of stamps contained therein,
and strange as It may seem. It is estimated that
the profit on these books at 1 cent each will
amount to some 200,000 per annum. It la also
estimated that the sum paid for the Private
Revenue Stamps placed over the top of bottles
containing Ilostetter's Stomach Bitters very
nearly equals this amount. The Bitters Is a
reliable remedy for constipation. Indigestion,
dyspepsia, biliousness. liver and kidney

ment liven Over to the Naval
Veterans' Parade and
Sham Battle.
Chicago. Aug. 27. William J. Bryan has
followed the example of President McKIn
lcy and declined to be a visitor at tho
National Encampment.
He this afternoon sent a message to
Colonel Harper, the head of the local com
mittee In charge of the local end of the
encampment, saying that because of the
absence of President McKlnley from the
encampment, he considered It advisable
to remain away. His telegram is as fol
lows:
"Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 27. To W. H. Har
per, Executive Director of tho G. A. R.
Reunion. Chicago: Since President McKln
ley i detained by public business. I be
lieve that tho proprieties of tho occasion
demand that I also decline, and thus I re

ecutive Committee appreciates your deli
cacy of sentiment under the circumstances,
whllo regretting that it cannot have the
pleasure of entertaining you.
(Signed) "W. II. HARPER.
"Active Director."
The first dav of the encampment was ono
of Ideal beauty. The right of the line on
tho opening day was given to the men who
sailed tho seas during the Civil War. The
cheering to-day was all for them, and all
the honors was theirs. The army will come
to Its own to-morrow.
Parade of Naval Veteran.
The heroes of river and sea of tho Civil
War are a small band now. Of the 132,000
men enlisted In the navy In the early days
of tho war, less than 1,000 marched to-day.
But one battle flag was carried by the
naval veterans. It was one that fluttered
from the monitor Wlnnebngo. when Farra
gut sailed into Mobile Bay to gain his
crowning victory. It was borno by Seaman
E, D. Woodruff of Rockford, 111., and be
side him marched ex-Boatswain's Mate J.
IL Linn of Chicago, who made the Hag.
Beside the men who fought afloat from
'CI to 'C5 came tho younger generation who
helped to demolish Montejo's fleet In Ma
nila Bay and maie glorious history when
Cervera sailed out of Santiago Harbor to
overwhelming defeat. With the veterans
of the navy marched a band of men whoe
lot during the war comprised the worst of
hardships. These were the members cf the
Association of ex-Prisoners of War, who
received an entlnsiaftlc greeting as thcy
marched along.
The parade, which was but a pre'.ude to
the great march of the Grand Army to
morrow, started at 11 o'clock from the cor
ner of Michigan avenue and Randolph
street, and after a short marcn through
tho downtown streets turned into Michigan
avenue at Jackson boulevard and passed
on south under the beautiful army arch at
Van Buren street, through the court of
honor and out under the naval ariii at
Michigan avenue and Hubbard Court,
where It passed In review before Commander-in-Chief
Shaw of the G. A. R. Acting
Governor Warder, representing Governor
Tanner; Mayor Harrison, Commander
Jones of the Sons of Veterans and Com
mander Atwell of tho Ex-Prlsonera of
War.
Preceding- the naval parade, the big naval
arch, erected nt Michigan avenue and Hub
bard Court, near the John A. Logan monu
ment, and marking the Mmth end of the
Court of Honor, was dedicated. The exer
cises were exceedingly simple.
Slinni Ilnttle on (lie Lake.
Tho afternoon's feati.re of the day's cole
brition was the naval parade on Lake
Michigan.
The revenue cutters, towing a string of
barges filled with detachments from the
Illinois Naval Reserve and gayly decorated
with Hags and streamers, and the excursion
boats, loaded with sightseers, made an im
posing appearance as they slowly steamed
out of the harbor and headed toward Lin
coln Park. The fleet arrived off Lincoln
Park about 4:.10 p. m and then. In sight of
tens of thousands of spectators gathered
along the sea wall of the park, the revenue
eutteis. with their blue-jacketed crowds
working the rapid-ilrn guns of the two ves
sels, went through tome beautiful maneuv
ering in the sham fight for supremacy.
The end of the naval light off Lincoln
Park closed the official programme of the
encampment for the day.
Sons of Veterans Meet.
Eloquent speeches by soldiers and states
men and patriotic music made memorable
the annual meeting of the Cook County
Sons of Veterans, which was held In Me
morial Hall to-niBht. The beautifully deco
tated auditorium was packed to the doors
and the distinguished speakers were en
thusiasticallj greeted.
Commander-in-Chief Albert D. Shaw of
the G. A. It. delivered the principal speech
of the evening. He said. In part:
"As the shadows lengthen, as thev face
the setting sun of life, the veterans look
with admiring pride upon their sons as
their successors in large measure in all that
insures" lofty views ot love of country, and
safe ambitions to prej;rve the Americun
Union in all Its noblest possibilities of a
wise and commanding civilization, and the
tru glory of Almighty God.
"I tealize that the work of tho aging
veterans Is largely over and past, and tliat
the sons of veterans will soon be called
upon to especially keep alive the ilres of
national patriotism when their fathers
pleep the sleep that knows no waking on
earth. Our future will be safe and strong
just as long as our youths are worthy and
wise: when these weaken or fall all will be
lost."
Short speeches were also made bv Com
mander William D. Hule, Illinois Division,
Sons of Veterans; Past Commander W. B.
Church, Judge Joel M. Longnecker, Commander-in-Chief
Asa W. Jones', United
States Senator Cushman K. Davis of Min
nesota and Minister J. C. Black.
The programme to-morrow Includes the
great parade of the Grand Army. Fully
40.000 men, all members of the Grand Army,
will be In line according to the statement
of officials In charge of the preliminaries,
and it Is estimated that It will require over
five hours for the line of march to pass a
given point.

telegram from Major General William II.
Shatter, commanding the Department of
the Pacific, expressing regret at not being
able to attend the encampment.

mous vote of the encampment for the hon
or of Its leadership, as since the withdrawal
of General Black of Illinois no other name
than that of Major Rassleur has been men
tioned. KILLED HIS WIFE.
