SHUFFLED OFF.
Thomas Thompson Visits the Great I'm
known by the Hemp Line.

The little town Of Glencoe, on the Central
Ohio road, was thrown into a fever OF ex.
element, Saturday, by the discovery OF
tine body of Thomas Thompson, an old
bachelor, aged sixty years, hanging to the
rafters of the barn o. Henry Dixson, his
brother-in-law, with whom he had been
making his home for some time past. He
was first discovered by Mrs. Dixs0u, his sis
ter. He had; TO aiI appearances, first tied
the roDo tn tie raiiiiers ii the barn and then
around his neck. His feet were also pin
Toned. After thus being fastened he
jumped off, and death must have been al
most instan taneous. The surroundings
were pitiable in the extreme. His heart
broken sister stood sobbing over the dis
torted features of the self-murderer as he lay
stiff and stark on the floor and conld not be
comforted. Her grief was agonizing. He
was her brother, and she had loved him as
only sister can love, and now that he was
gone from her, her agony knew no bounds
He gave no reason for the rash act except
that he left in his pocket note, stating
that he was ''tired of life." Why he should
have sought death at his own hands after
having fought the turbulent storms of life
for so long period is mystery-unless
his mind was affected. He had always
borne the reputation of being sober and
industrious man, and his death by his own
hands was great surprise to his many
friends and acquaintances in and around
Glencoe. He was buried in the little church
yard at Glencoe yesterday.

Yesterday evening Allie Lee called on

what had happened the young girl told the
following story;
About IL o'clock yesterday Cecilia Lewis,
who had previously resided at the house OF
Emma Gray, received letter and upon
reading il she became greatly excited and
after having quieted down stated that
she wanted TO go to one of the dyeing es-
adjustment for the purpose of having a
garment recolored, and complained to all
the girls that she had no wrap to wear, and
asked one OF the girls, Allie Lee,
TO loan her a wrap, which she did
The Lewis girl left the house with
the garment, promising to return within
an hour. The hour having expired, and
the Lewis girl not returning, the Lee girl
became anxious about her cloak. She came
down street, and learned at the B. & o.
depot that she had purchased ticket for
Washington City, and had gone thither
Captain Bennett notified the authorities
there, by telegraph, to arrest the girl, and
ere this she is in the clutches of the blue
coats, and will in all probability be brought
back to answer the charge of larceny in the
courts.

= Considerable excitement was manifested
when IL became known that ID. NJ. Corbett,
who hBS been keeping q grocery in Was
sons building, on Belmont street, Bellaire,
had made an assignment. The assignment
was made late Saturday night. Corbett is
a young man and has been doing . right
good business paying his bills promptly as
they came due. This suumer he trust
ed ousidersble, and the money
is rot coming in as fast now as
be calculated on. and as he was do
ing large credit business he was afraid to
meet the Wheeling wholesale men to-day
without money, lest some one OF them
would close in on him and leave the others
out in the cold. His liabilities amount to
about 81 500, as be reports to his assignee,
ID. b Crafty, and his stock, as We learn
from the Wheeling wholesale men, who
are the principal creditors aud who know
pretty well what it amounts to, is worth
probably 200. Most OF the money Is
owed to Wheeling wholesale grocerS; the
Touring mills of Bellaire are also creditors
for I'm. II amounts. IL is quite probable
that the matter will be adjusted, aud Cor
belt opened up again in few days.
