Howe-Butterworth. At Washington, October 29, by the Rev. Dr. Bartlett, Mr. Haughwout Howe, United States Dispatch Agent at New York, to Miss Mary Butterworth, daughter of Benjamin Butterworth, of Cincinnati.

Howe. At Washington, October 30, of endocarditis following acute rheumatism, Mr. Haughwout Howe, United States Dispatch Agent at New York. Funeral from 1016 Vermont Avenue, at ten AM Friday. Interment at Woodlawn Cemetery, New York.

These two simple announcements tell with pathetic earnestness the story of Haughwout Howe's last day on earth and the unusual circumstances which, in the brief space of twenty-one hours made his wife a bride and a widow. Almost at the very instant that, according to their long-made plans they would have been standing in the Friends' Meeting House, plighting their faith in the presence of their friends, the bridegroom passed away to his eternal account. Their marriage was to have been today at twelve o'clock. Fifteen minutes past the hour he had breathed his last.

The Widow
Mrs. Howe as Miss Butterworth has been not only a striking figure in society and a general favorite everywhere her accomplishments and good looks always brought her to the front, but she has been besides the idol of her family circle. Since her entry in society, a few seasons back, she has had no end of suitors and attention. At home, she was a devoted daughter to the best of parents and the constant companion of her three young brothers.

With a decided talent for the stage, she has been the life of many of the most successful amateur theatrical entertainments. She is a skilled horsewoman and fond of outdoor sports. Representative Butterworth was averse to her marriage with Mr. Howe, but she won him over at last and all that doting parents could do was in progress to have made this, her wedding day, as happy as possible.

Mrs. Harrison, Attorney General Miller and family were to have been guests at the wedding breakfast and every notable acquaintance the family had was represented by a handsome wedding gift. A thousand announcement cards were to have been sent all over the country in tomorrow's mail.

The club chambers, where the death occurred adjoin the elegant quarters of the Metropolitan Club, the most exclusive body in capital clubdom. Many of the leading citizens, officials, army and navy officers and others in private life, make up its membership list. In the club chambers its members are housed in tasteful luxury. The rooms are small, but well-appointed and the outlook is over the most desirable section of the city.
