A HUSBAND AND WIFE SEEK DEATH
TaGrTI.R 81 TAEINtf lAuDA>uM.--A fear
fui trageiy-one that may well cause the
blood TO curiIe in the veins and fill the sOu.
of opv sensitive mortal with horror-was
enacted at the Planters House, corner OF
Bluff and Third streets, Wednesday aiter-
noon. The motives which prompted 20 the
commission of the act are still Involved III
mystery, but Of the result enough IL known
TO stamp it as a tragedy which, i0r tue
credit CT humanity, we arc happy 10 say,
is not often witEessed-t!iat OF hushanc
and wife quietly resolving 10 eAi their lives
together by suicide.
The parties 10 the tragedy arrived Ill this
city by boat, ANA took quarters ut the Plant
ers House, where they registered thelT
names as George Baker and lady, OF Madl-
son, Wis. Both were well dressed, and ap-
parently used to moving in the best society.
The pnir were assigned 10 room No. 10, and
remained much Of the time III quiet anu
seclusion, but nothing unusual was noticed
in their conversation ana G2nean0r. About
3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, rs 1noMa5
Hardie ana another geutieman were pass
ing BY the hotel, they noticed man VINO
came out on the outside stairway AMI start
to come down the street. lie had got down
about halfway when he missed his foot
ing and fell head foremost, striking the
rayemeut below with much force. On
raising him up a bottle was found IN his
left hand, crushed 10 atoms, while MS Wrlst
was severely cut by the broken glass. tie
was removed 10 his room, where his Wlfe
was found in strong convulsions. Eegaln-
ing consciousness, the man stated, 10 the
amazcment of all those present, that he
and his wife had taken laudanum with the
deliberate intention OF committing sulc.de
and ending their troubles together. VI the
motives which impclied them to the dce9
he gave no explanation.
He said that lie and his wife were II the
room together: that she took the l"ud"num
Zone ounce first, and he followed but
fearing that there was not enough o. the
po;son to kill him, lie had started out to
procure some more, when he met the acct
dent we have mentioned. When the state
of affairs became known, the best medlca!
talent in the city was summoned, ana al
that humanity could suggest was done 1or
