Sufcide OF q Bride.

From the Warrensburg ullJ Journal.
About two years ago a young man BY
the name of Eugene Day made his sp-
pearance in this county, hailing from
Michigan. He was employed to work
upon the farm of one Mr.. Clark, q we'll
to-do farmer living about three miles
west OF this city. Mr.. Darby, farmer
living in the neighborhood, had q
daughter name Alice. She loved young
Day, and Day professed affection for
her. Contrary to the wish Of her
father, they were married. They lived
together about three months, when the
grand Jury found true bill Of indict-
ment against Day for bigamy. 1t ap-
peared from the testimony that he had
| left a wife in Michigan. He was ar
rested and lodged in jail for trial at the
next term OF the Circuit Court The
trial came off at the term Of the court
now in session, and he was sentenced to
four years imprisonmentin in the peniten,,
tiary. After the trial was concluded
the poor girl was conveyed to the resi-
deuce Of Mr.. Wellington Mooney, some
four miles northwest Of town. During
the forepart of the next day she was
engaged in writing letters, and imme-
diately after dinner went to her room,
and in a few minutes Mrs. Mooney, who
was lying in an adjoining room, heard
the report Of pistol. She Immediately
gave the alarm, and it was ascertained
that the girl had shot herself through
the heart.
Opon examination, one OF the letters
was found to contain instructions as to
her burial, and the others, addressed TO
her friends, breathed spirit Of innocent
devotion to the man who was the cause
of her misery, and a desire to live nc
longer. Here is true copy OF the let
ter addressed to her husband Eugene
Day: .,,o
April 20.
EUGENE: | write you this because
have resolved to die. cannot taxi
back the words | have spoken, and
cannot live without you. know you
will not linger long, for | know that yor
love me too well. / am your wife il
death as well as in life. Yours,
ALICE"
About six o'clock on Thursday even
ing last, young Day, while confined t.
his cell in the county Jail awaiting hi
, removal to the penitentiary, made an at
tempt to destroy himself, which will NJ
doubt in time prove successful. Their
were several persons confined in tn
cell with him, and between them the.
had razor, box Of collars, and
, bottle Of hair dye. As soon as Da!.
heard of the death of his wife he mad
a rush for the razor, but was prevente'
from getting it by one Of the partie
{ confined with him. He then seized tn
bottle, of hair dye, drank it's contents
? crushed the bottle, and ate a portion o
the glass, and then pulled several pin
out of his clothes and swallowed them
At the present writing his head an'
neck are very much swollen, and 1t !

severe engagement the Versaillists car
ried the fort and compelled the Com

recapturing the fort and inf1icting con-

The Situation In Paris-Preparing
for the Great Crisis.
PARIS, via BoULoGNE, May r.
Paris continues in a state OF active ex-
element, and much apprehension is
telt for the safety OF the city. 1t is
found that the greater portion OF it may
be destroyed by the fires which frequent
ly follow the explosion Of shells, bombs,
&c, thrown into the city by the Gov
ernment batteries. In several cases
these fires have assumed alarming and
dangerous proportions, besides entailing
severe loss and taxing to the utmost the
energies OF the citizens to subdue them.
The street fighting which will doubtless
occur should the Versailles troops sue
ceei in forcing an entrance, is also ap-
pretended as likely to be productive Of
great danger in this respect, and the
citizens are using all available precau-
tons to avoid it. The International
Commissioners have established vast
encampments in the neighborhood OF
Paris for receiving and feeding the pop
ulatlon during the anticipated whole
sale exodus of panic-stricken citizens
which will take place when the great
crisis arrives.
