that the events OF the week do not mar
the generally satisfactory prospects for
the business OF the country. The weather,

pecially in dry goods. Business has been
very active during the week, with large
movement in merchandise. Transactions
outside OF New York as indicated by the
bank exchanges, show a considerable in
crease, with a light decrease in the city,

DIED FOR LOVE,
Tragic Suicide at ChicagO-A Romance
OF Tao Countries.

CHICAGO, September 14.-Johann Schil-
ling and Paula Hell were lovers in Ger
many, and engaged to be married Schil-
ling tired of his love and came to this
country and to Chicago, where he married
another woman. Miss He'll followed him,
and was frequent visitor in Schilling's
family. The cast-otf woman was light
hearted and jovlal, and though threaten
ing suicide in a jocular way, no one paid
heed to it. One day several weeks ago,
being an expert oarswoman, she rowed
out upon Lake Michigan, and some days
after her body was found floating in the
waters 1t was identified by Schilling, and
the coroner's jury returned a verdict OF
suicide Yesterday Johann Schilling was
adjudged insane in the County Court. 1t
appears that after seeing her dead face at
the morgue the features OF his old and
deserted love We're continually before him
and drove him distracted.
