hard working man, and resident of
Upper Mauch Chunk. He brought out
his pocket book which proved to be
well filled with greenbacks. Mr.. Meyer
advised Frontz to be careful of his
money, and recommended him to take
friend with him to his house. The
two started and when just above Jacob
ii. Smiths house, on the new roai
they heard footsteps behind them. In
moment two men came up and one of
them struck Froniz with a billy, and
putting his hand into his pocket, seized
the money and run away The fright

Garrett j. Banta was q well.to-do
farmer, residing with his sister, her
little family, and other relatives on the
old Homestead at Paramus Plains. near
Ridgewood, Bergen county, New Jer-
sey. Ban,a was shy, saving bachelor
Of thiity.six, who for seven years had
courtcd Miss Matilda Westervelt of
Pdramns. On Saturday the lovers were
married Mt IIackensack by the good
Dominic Romaine. They went to the
brides home. On Sunday the young
wife saw her husband busily writing
She jocularly asked il he was making
his will. lie laughingly replied, Eyes" :"
That afternoon they rode out, and Sum-
day night was passed by them together.
But at half past three in the morning
he got up to go to his own home, telling
his vile he went thus early to avoid
being seen, as the neighbors would
make fun { ( him about his marriage, he
would take her home on Wednesday.
He was rot seen until about II A..
N. of Monday. Then some ope calling
to see him, search was made. Poor
Banta was found in the barn, hanging
by the neck from a crossbeam lust
above the hay, 9ead. lie had gone
directly into he barn, and taken off his
neckclotl, without removing his hat or
overcoat, rOmmi ted suicide.
In hi pocket was found the paper he
lad written on Sunday in his wise's
home, as follows:
want VIM. j. G.. Zabriskie TO attend
to my business. Give my Lroiher John
my watch and hair c.iain. GlilIiame

Garrett j. Bdnta.
Take the money cut of the Paterson
Bank if you think best.
Banta mixed but little in society, and
many wondered that he ever plucked
up courage To marry. No provision,
it will seen, was made for the wife, for
whom much sympathy is felt Un-
doubtedly the poor fellow was insane.

ward of fifty of the employees of the hotel
was kept on duty on the roof, and steam
was kept up in the engine to pump water

stationed on the roof, and the steam
pumps, hose, etc., were kept in readiness
for use at moments notice.
