SYRACUSE, N. Y, October 90
Shepard settlement, a little hamlet
two miles from Marcellus, furnishes
tragic romance. At that place lived
Flora H. Shepard, prepossessing and
attractive young lady, aged twenty
years. She was engaged to be mar
ried on Sunday to a young man named
Henry A. Fulmer, who lived in FL
bridge, A few days before the mar
riage she received a letter from her
lover stating that he had heard suspi
cion breathed against her character.
On Sunday he arrived in the middle
Of the forenoon and asked to have the
marriage put off until he could be con-
yinced that the story was untrue. She
offered to release him from the engage
ment, but he replied that he did not
wish to be released. She asked Full
mer if he would go to church With
her, and he responded that he would.
She went up stairs to dress, and he
waited for her in the parlor. After
waiting until B o'clock for her to come
down, he went to her room and found
her in bed. Fulmer asked "What
ails you, Flora; are you sick?" She
made no reply, but pointed to piece
of paper which lay on a stand near by.
Fulmer picked it up and read it. 1t
was a will devising her property to
Miss Della Newell, friend. He at
once OWNED that she had taken poison.
A physician was called, and the girl
finally seemed to recover, and dressed
and went down stairs. 1t is believed
that she took more poison, as at 10
o'clock she was taken violently i'll, and
at a quarter to II she died. When
the doctor left her he noticed a pack
age of cobalt on the stand, and after
she died it could not be found.

New York POST
The warm weather which has pre-
vailed in this city during the last few
weeks is most uncommon, almost un-
precedented at this time Of year. In
October, 1876, the mean temperature
was 5l', the maximum 730, and the
minimum 3l'; in October, 1877, the
mean temperature was 590, the maxi
mum, 81, and the minimum AZ. and
in October, 1873, the mean tempera-
ture was 65', the maximum 79'. and
the minimum 49,. The mean temper.
ature of this present October so far
has been 7O0. with a maximum of S8o,
which was reached on Thursday, and
a minimum of 530. The constant in
crease Of heat in each successive 0e-
tober for four years is curious, and
may well lead to the inquiry what next
October will be like. In the three
Octobers Immediately preceding the
present month there were only
three days on which the thermom-
eter rose above 750, whereas during
the present month there have already
been six days on which the thermom-
eter has risen above So, and three
days on which it has risen abeve So.
This is almost midsummer weather,
but the heat in New Hampshire has
been still more remarkable, for the
therpometer in that State registered
1902 one day last week.

Among those looming up in Ohio

New York Letter to Philadelphia Lodger.l
The declaration of to-day's Wash
ington Post that "the result of the
New York election will practically
decide the Presidential election" next
year, is but a repetition OF what the
leading politicians here of both parties
have been saying all along. Both sides
lat present are acting upon that con
viction, and hence prominence is given
TO national rather than to State or
local issues. Even the railroad trans
portation question and the free canal
question, so prominent awhile ago, arc
well nigh lost sight of in contemplat-
ing the solid South and the chances of
rival candidates for the White House.
General Banks and Edwards Pierre
points speeches at the Republican
meeting last night were devoted to
national topics, as likewise were Sena-
tor Conkling's and Senator Chandler &
speeches last week. Ifthe Robinson
Tilden party carry New York, Tilden
stock will be immensely improved.
Whereas, if Cornell is made governor,
on the heels Of a Democratic defeat in
Ohio, the thing will put on for them
the aspect Of a forlorn hope. 1t is
not remarkable, therefore, that the
Democracy, as well as the Republi-
cans, are straining every nerve to
make victory sure, with an eye to
1880, nor that money is spent with a
freedom which would be quite out OF
the question if only local issues we're
involved. The Republicans are un-
derstood to be using the "bar'l "
pretty freely too, and hence scarcely a
begging committee from the rural dis
tricts, where the vote is supposed to
be close, is permitted to go away
empty-handed.

MARY ANDERSON.

The recent tragedy at Cincinnati,
wherein young woman of cultivated
but distracted mind and loose morals
shot herself to death after trying to
kill her former lover, has brought the
name of the gifted actress, Mary An
derson, into unpleasant prominence,
all because the manager of the troupe
had limited to certain parties that he
was madly in love with Miss Ander-
son. From present appearances the
unfortunate affair is not likely to re.
suit to the advantage of either the
manager or the lady. The Dramatic
News, prominent paper among
theatrical people, has recently at
tackled Miss Anderson without mercy

Hickey had aided her to clear $50 OOO
