Love in NoWark-The Pistol, Poison
and the Rope.
Yesterday was day OF genuine sensation In
Newark, attempts having been made by three per-
sons-one young lady and two young men-to
suddenly sever their relations with this world. In
one case NJ least the attempt bids fair to be
cessful. On Monday evening Miss Eta c. Lyon. a
prepossessing woman Of about twenty-six years OF
age, until lately a teacher In the Eighth ward
public school, shot herself In the head with pistol
while temporarily stopping with her aunt, Mrs. =.

to tea by her aunt, and responded that she
would be down presently Soon after PTS
toll shot was heard, and, on going TO
the up stairs, she was found
living on the bed bleeding copiously Doctors were
sent ior but although still alive yesterday n In
believed she cannot recover. Her parents reside
in Bergen, and yesterday she was TO have gone
school ten days ago, and her aunt intending 10
