SUICIDE.-Wednesday evening about half
past nine o'clock people who were standing
on the banks of the Presumpscot at Cumoer-
land Mills saw young girl eighteen years of
age, named Ella Bachelor, jump into the
water All attempts to rescue her were use
less. The body was recovered about two hours
after, and yesterday morning Coroner Gould OF
this city held an inquest over the remains. The
testimony given shows that the unfortunate
girl had been on intimate terms with one Wal
ter Howe who is workman in the same mill
in which she was employed. 1t was generally
supposed the two were engaged, but Howe
strenuously denies this, and says that their
relations were only those of friendly intimacy.
Monday he had occasion to chide her, appar-
emily because of her Inconsistency, telling her
she was doing wrong. A quarrel resulted and
the two parted in anger. This difficulty troub-
led her much and she spoke of it to her CON-
panions. Wednesday evening she met Howe
and the breach between them was not closed
up She then went to walk with some girl
companions, and spoke to them of jumping
from the bridge. They judged her to be jesting
and gave the subject but little thought. About
nine o'clock she started alone for the river bank
and soon after made the fatal leap.
She is described as an unusually pretty GIRL
pleasant in her ways and correct in her de-
meanor. Her parents live in Gorham.
A verdict was given in accordance with the
evidence

The Uniontown Stasddrd publishes
an interesting sketch Of the history Of
the Monongahels Bank Of Brovnsvilh.
Pennyslyanis. The bank was chartered
in 1912 and has been open daily ever
since. 1t never suspended specie pay
ment, even during the financial panic
Of 1887, and continued to redeem its
notes in specie until the origin Of the
national banking system. 1t is now
known as the "Monongahela National
Bank"
Amongst the incidents Of interest
that may be related concerning the '"ald
bank" are the following: In the year
1881 the present President. then the
cashier, Was sleeping in the bank build,
ing, and in the dead hour Of night be
was awakened BY q tremendous racket
at the door. He Immediately arose
and inquired who Was t ere?, The Se7
DIV was, Gideon Johne," Gideon was
asked, "W hat Is the matter p The res
Div was, '"The devils at play 10 the
East all the banks have suspened.'
Gideon bad just arrived on the coach
Chen the only means of communities
tion) and brought the frst newsof what
after wards proved to be true, Ameet-
ing of the Directors was immediately
called, and it was decided that the "old
| Mopongahela Bank Of Brownsville"
should not suspend, and it did not.
On another occasion, in old stage
coach times. q pass enger on one OF the
coaches from Wheeling stopped on hif
wsy to the East, In the night, and went
to the bank and tried to gain admission,
saving he had s"turkey" be wished to
leave. He was not permitted to enter
for obvious reasons, being strsnger
and at night. The next morning, as
the cashier went to the pump for q
pitcher Of water, be saw bundle lying
on the door ell, and, on opening it, dis
covered that it was q "turkey" in the
shape Of the bills Of the Mopongahela
Bank OF Brow nsville, about foot thick
coming home TO roost The cashier
supposed the person who left them
would, or at least ought to, feel consId'
erably uneasy, and acknowledged theil
re eipt vers promptly.

THf vote in Cleveland last Monday
on the proposition to Issue sl,Ooo,ooo

have already been informed by tele'

There were $3.50 votes cast, 1854 being
in favor Of the road and 1926 against
it. The subscription thus received a
majority Of S2S. but lacked 966 Of the
,wolthirds that were necessary to au-
thorize the issue Of the bonds. 1t is not
thought, however, that this adverse vote
will prevent the building OF the road.
