An Old Citizen Hangs HIMSELF

-
Yesterday morning, the town was star
tied with the report that George Sinclair, a
butcher, and one of the oldest residents of
this locality, had committed suicide by
hanging himself in his meat shop, on North
High street. near the new building, corner,
of North street, being erected on the old
Lazelle property. n
so Proceeding to that locality, we found the
meat market located in row of one-story
shanties, and the room divided into three
apartments by partitions. The back room
was not ceiled, and from rope fastened to
the rafters in this room the unfortunate
man was found hanging, at about half-past
seven O'Clock yesterday morning by his
nephew. s7a ilte ~ @-5 50
he had opened the shop at the usual hour
and supplied all his early customers, and
afterwards went round the neighborhood
endeayoring to borrow rope, as he said,
to hang up a quarter of beef with. Falling
to borrow he bought rope, and immedi-
ately proceeded against his own life. aylS
y The deceased was one or our Oldest and
most respected citizens. He has lived here
for about thirty years, and for many years
was leading citizen OF. Franklinton. He
was about 20 years OF age. The Coroner
was called and q jury was empanneled. A
verdict of death by suicide was found.
We have heard half q dozen reasons as
signed as the cause of the rash act, but the
most likely ones are that he was suffering
rom alteration of mind caused by drink
ind domestic difficulties. z5 iaaiS

Terrible Railroad Accident -
Twenty-Five Lives Lost.
LONDON, August 81.
Dispatches have been received to-day
giving the particulars of heartrending
calamity in North Wales, yesterday after
noon, whereby 25 persons lost their lives.
train of cars from Holyhead, containing
passengers and mails from Ireland, which
was proceeding towards Liverpool at the
usual rate of speed, met with a sad acci-
dent at the little town of Abergle, in Coun-
ty Den6igh.
A long train of loaded petroleum trucks
had just been switched off on the siding to
make way for the Irish mail, but the
switchman had neglected to replace the
switch. A dreadful collision was the con-
sequence. Seven persons, all passengers in
the Irish mail train, were killed outright,
and many others were badly injured.
The cars in both trains were reduced to
snapeless mass. The conclusion pro-
duced an explosion of petroleum, which
instantly enveloped both trains in flames.
Before the fire could be subdued, eighteen
persons had been literally burnt alive to
ashes. -- 1--...-. --t-,,r lfvtr-f-- .i,j+t
