The Niagara Suicide.

The Niagara Falls Gazette has cleaned
the possible solution to the cause OF
Miss j. j. Schofeld's sad suicide, by
throwing herself into the Niagara last
week. The deceased lady was engaged
to Mr.. c. A. Kelly, of Toronto, who
shortly before ner death, received from
her letter in which that lady, in an
incoherent manner, makes disposition
of some of her personal property, and
in which she expresses q belief that she
is rapidly failing in mental and physi-
cal health; in short, that she believed
she was succumbing to brain fever, and
that her friends would never see her
n. Miss Schofield was engaged to
be married to Mr.. Kelly this fall Last
year two brothers and sister died OF
consumption. Miss Schofeld has had
premonitory symptoms OF the same
dread disease, and has been in New
York city under eminent medical treat
ment therefor. She had improved in
health in the Adirondack region, and
after her trip to New York appeared to
be still further improved in health,
until she imprudently ventured out and
caught cold, which settled on her lungs,
and necessiated imperative orders
from her physician to return home. 1t
would seem that she got as far as Buff
falo. became terribly depressed in
spirits, expressed her baggage to lady
friend in Toronto, came to Niagara
Falls, lost all selfpossession, and ended
her burdensome life in the waters OF
the Niagara.
