FRANKLIN, Pa, March 14-Thos. T. Ander-

wife letter, said that he was about to commit
an awful act, and drew pistol. She endeav-
ored to take the weapon from him, but he tore
himself from her, rushed out into the yard, and
fired, the bali entering the right temple. He
was conscious intervals of short duration, of
an hour or more, but gave nc explanation of the
act. He expired at noon. Several letters were
left by him, but their contents are not known.
A note left ON the counter of the bank state
he had destroyed all special deposits and bills

Mr.. Lamberton, and consisted of government

not yet known.
What led to the act is not positively ascer-

ties In his manner of conducting business, was
the cause. 1t is stated he was frying large
amount of overdrafts for the accommodation
of his personal friends, unauthorized by the
bank. That concern was soon to change hands
and he had been requested to have the books

one, and the fine features retain an expression
OF quiet happiness, as though she were just
sinking to sleep. The hands are of marble
whiteness, and are quite evidently unused to
labor. For some hidden reason the services of
coroner were not called for.
