Elizabeth Foehrenbach, widow of Adam Foehrenbach, departed
this life
The deceased came to this country from Ardmansweiler, Baden,
Germany in 1853, and since the time of her devoted husband’s death, made her
home with her daughter, Mrs. Mary Smith, who tenderly cared for the afflicted
mother in her late long illness. Her affliction, though largely unrealized,
surely was such as works out for us an exceedingly weight of glory, for
throughout her unclouded days her attitude was that of an humble and patient
child of God. Before her end she received the last rites of the dying at the
hands of the pastor of her church.
May her spirit be refreshed more and more with the Light
Eternal. A.

Story Of Catastrophe
.
BOSTON, July 16—By the explosion of a case of powder in the
hands of a gunner in the after superimposed turret of the battleship Georgia, in
Massachusetts Bay, eight men were killed and 12 injured. Not one of the persons
in the turret escaped injury.
Lieutenant Goodrich and Seaman Mallick jumped overboard right
after the explosion, with the apparent motive of easing the terrible suffering
from their burns. Both of the desperate men were quickly rescued by uninjured
comrades.
The accident happened while the battleship was several miles
off
How the powder became ignited is not yet known, but the theory
held at the navy yard is that it was set off by a spark from the smokestack of
the warship. Immediately after the accident the

Several incidents were told of the coolness and heroism of
some of the men just after the explosion. Chaplain Charlton was the first
officer to reach the turret. The first man he found was Midshipman Cruse, who
was terribly injured. He would not allow the chaplain to do anything for him,
but said: “Let me alone; I am all right. Look after those other fellows.” In
one or two other cases also he met with the same spirit of self-sacrifice.

Two very sad deaths occurred last week, one near Ozark and the
other near
Mrs. LENA HAREN, wife of Jacob Haren, of near Ozark, was alone
at her home, Thursday, engaged in baking and washing while her husband, together
with some other men were at work in the field. Hearing the bell ring, the men
started for the house supposing it was a regular call to dinner. When they
arrived at the house they failed to find Mrs. Haren, but soon discovered her
charred body from which her clothing had been completely burned. Of coarse the
particulars of the accident are a mere matter of conjecture; but it is supposed
that her clothing accidentally caught fire, and that she ran to the bell to
give the alarm, and then into the orchard where her body was found.
She was 32 years of age, a consistent member of the Catholic

Our loss is his eternal gain, but would say to the sorrowing,
weep not for the kind Shepherd hath said, “Blessed are they which die in the
Lord.” Oh, such loving rememberance of that one who has gone forever? Just gone
before to prepare a place for the dear ones, and there in that beautiful home
to await their coming where there will be no more parting, no more sorrow, no
more tears, but where will be one bright and happy day forever more.

Goebel at Woodsfield who spoke words of consolation to the bereaved ones. All
that was mortal of our loved one was laid to rest in the beautiful Burkhart

We may weep but we’ll remember,
That his Spirit is happy now;
With the righteous he is dwelling,
With no care mark on his brow.

VAN WERT, O., June 4—Marvin Kuhns ended a career of violence
five miles north of here in a duel to the death with three pursuers. Kuhns was
thrice wounded. Kuhns had stolen a horse from Arthur L. Smith, a farmer near St.
Mary’s. Smith and his grandfather took the trail of the bandit. It led to Van
Wert, where the pursuers were joined by Sheriff Hott. Kuhns was overtaken five
miles north of here. His reply to halt order was to open fire. The three men
returned it and Kuhns was shot down. Kuhns was pardoned from the Ohio
Penitentiary by Governor Herrick on Christmas Day, 1905.
