GB- A man named Stearn, of Huntingdon
COuuby1 was luuuCtu W BO through u C6Te-
mony which he was informed would make
him full hedged Mason. After he had
been initiated he was in the most exuber-
ant mood in the belief that he had been

put him through the trying ordeal of the
bogus initiation for assault and battery.

suicide by drowning a few days ago. She
left paper setting forth her reasons for
refusing to live, in which she writes that
she was young and healthy-that she had
never felt the lack of love, of friends, of
food or clothing. She voluntarily abandon
ed life, as she says, from ga deep seated
conviction that it was not worth living
a prospect of life beyond the world which
this is but preparation for, being vague
and chimerical"

named Grover essayed the role of a snake
charmer the other day, but he won't try it
again Immediately. Some one had caught
big rattle-snake and was exhibiting it in
| box, when Grover, remarking that he
wasn't scared by that kind of cattle, took
| the reptile out of the box and performed
ing it around his neck and putting its head
in his mouth, and finally bit the snake on
the throat. This was too much for the
| ophidian's forbearance and it instantly bu-
| ried its fangs in Growers cheek. This
close the entertainment, and by keeping
| Grover stuffed full of gin for the rest of the
day, his friends managed to save his life.
BALTIMORE, May 27.-This afternoon Mrs.
Duchoslay, wife of Jno. Duchoslay, Bohe-
mian, in the enjoyment of prosperous
business, requested him to accompany her

and, as on previous occasions appeared
melancholy at her attention to the memory
of her former spouse. She went to the
cemetery, however, strewed the grave with
flowers, and spent several hours in the
grounds. On returning she found the
| house closed. An entrance was forced, and
the corpse of Duchoslay found hanging to
wardrobe. The body was warm when
found, but efforts to restore animation fail

the mother of her deceased husband and a
little girl. The little girl went into the
| room where Mrs. Elliott was, and said she
wanted to go to sleep. Mrs. Elliott in
duced her to go out by promising to give
her nice dresses and ribbons, and then she
shot herself in the heart.
