About twelve o'clock last night the
neighborhood of the Lafayette Hotel
was Mortified by the report that lady
had committed suicide by jumping out
of the third story window of that ho-
tel. On inquiry we learned that the
rumor was too true.
A WHITE RoBED FIGURE.
Parties on the street a. that late hour
were astonished to see white figure
appear at one of the windows OF the
LAFAYETTE Hotel, hesitate n moment,
and then jump head foremost towards
the pavement. In her descent the un-
fortunate woman went through the
canvass of the Important Dry Goods
store, but it was not sufficiently strong
to break her fall When special of1i-
Ger Twomey and others rushed over,
she lay quivering, crushed mass on
the brea pavement, only gasping once
as they carried her in. 1t was imme-
diately learned that she was the wife
of Mr.. J. S. Merrill, machinist, at the
San Fernando Tunnel and had been

ing to her husband that "a box was
coming for me or you," meaning that
she or he would die. He laid down OIL
the bed beside her and being awak
eued by noise at the window sprans
up, but reached the window only il
time to see her disappearing through
the awning.

Geo. Trent, the popular boot-black
Of the "Centennial," in front OF
Schindler's store, on Sunday evening
discovered a relative in one Of the Ia.
dies of the Jubilee troupe, one who
used to live on the same old planta-
tion. George was so happy that his
customers got an extra shine on their
boots yesterday, and it is even reported
that in some cases he failed to hold
out his hand for the fee that was due.

Capt. Tobin will lecture this evening
at Stearns' Hall, and will read the

trated by the MOrmons. In addition
to his own thrilling experience in
those massacres, he will also give val
liable information in regard to the re-
sources of Utah Territory and the
great inland basin which he has thor
oughly explored. 1t will be q lecture
we'll worth hearing.
For the benefit of those who do not
often ride on the horse railroads, and
also to save the drivers an annoyance,
to which they are too often subjected,
we will state that the drivers have
tickets in their pockets to sell, for
which they are responsible, and those
who wish tickets should purchase of
them. Pay them the money and drop
u ticket in the box, and not drop
half dollar into the box where the dri-
yer cannot get it, and then call on him
to give them two bits worth of tickets
and the change, as we saw gentle
man do last Sunday.

Last night was the last on which
the Cantata of Esther was to be pre-
sented, but by universal request OF
both the audience and the singers,
Professor Hakes consented to repeat
the beautiful piece once more, and it
will be given tonight. We need not
say that there is much local musical
talent of high order in this city, and
Nnose who have attended the two per-
sormances of Esther all agree that un-
der she tuition of Professor Hakes they
have become so perfect in the roles for
which they have been cast that there
is little room for fault finding for the
most exacting. For the sake OF our
home musicians the hall should be
crowded this evening. The price oil
