Editors In,ellIgsueer.
There has been considerable excite
ment in our county for the last five days
about the late discovery Of silver in our
midst. Since the Bambrick Brothers re-
ceived their report from the lot they sent
to Colorado to be tested, which proved to
contain eleven or twelve dollars to the
ton, people begin to think that there has
been rich discovery made, and that our
Young men need not go to Colorado now
to get rich working in the mines, but try
their luck at home. l heard to-day that
the Bambrick Brothers had received re-
port from second lot OF ore sent on to
Colorado to be tested, saying that 1t was
better than the first lot sent on, contain
ing considerable more silver TO the ton,
consequently our people are very much
excited to-day, and they expect to see ere
long people by the hundreds rushing in
here from all parts Of the country inquir-
ing for the famous silver mines OF Han
cock. The mines are situated about three
miles south OF here, on what Is known as
Hardin's Run. The ore that the silver Is
found in is about twenty inches thick,
with slate roof, and vein Of coal under.
meath about eighteen inches think. un'
derstand the Bambrick Brothers are going
to work right away on their land, and
hope it viii prove as rich as has been rep
resented.

ApoMEsrIc TRAGEDY.
A Young Lady's supposed suIelde-He,
Husband Suspected of Murder.


PITTSBURGH, March ga very remark
able tragedy took place this afternoon on
Second avenue, between Ross and Grant
streets. In the boarding house of Mr..
speilman, Mr.. and Mrs. Walter sneathen
have been living for some time. Mr..
Sneathen Is the son OF Capt. ]. B. Sheath
en-, Of the firm OF Sneathen & Wilson, and
his wife was Miss Mary Agnes Irwin, Of
East End. To-day at noon one of the
ladies who lives in the house was coming
out OF the dining-room, when the front
door OF the house opened aud sneathen
came in. Just then q shot was heard
in sneathen's room, which is on the
right hand Of the hall. Sneathen asked
what the noise was, and the lady said she
thought 1t was the fire cracking. Sneathen
then went into his room aud the lady went
into the sitting room, which adjoinsit. In
second or two Sneathen called out, "My
Godl Come here! Look at this!" On
entering the bed room Mrs. Sneathen was
found lying on her bed as though asleep,
and the lady said so. mo, mop cried
Sneathen, "she has shot herself She Is
deadl" A bullet hole was found in her
left temple, from which the blood and
brains we're oozing. DR.. Arthurs was sent
for, and on examining the wound, he said
she could not live three hours,
The cause OF the sad occurrence Is not
known. The people at the boarding
house say the couple lived happily to-
gether, but 1t Is rumored otherwise out
side. 1t is reported that Mrs. Sneathen
quarreled with her mother and also her
husband, but this, too, is said to be un.
true. The police seem to think that there
is too much mystery about tho affair to be
passed of with casual examination, and
Mr.. Sneathen was placed under the sur.
veillance Of Detective Coyle. The father
Of Mr.. Sneathen says his son never quar-.
relied with his wife and that the trouble
was between her and her mother.
When sneathen discovered that his
wife was dying he went almost crazy, and
seizing the revolver with which his wife
had shot herself, he cooked 1t and placed
it against his breast and would have
pulled the trigger II girl had not taken
II from him after hard struggle.
Mr.. Sneathen is about twenty years old
and is not In business Just now. His wife
is about nineteen. She IS rather pretty
and lies Just as she did when first found
So many stories are ailoat in ths neighbor
hood and in the house, and there Is *
much mystery about the whole affair ths
i is impossible to get at the real status o
the case.
