SDIcIde Ora Young Wife.

CoNNELIsvILLE, October 1.-The commu'
nifty of Mill Run, small village in this
county, about II miles from here, was
shocked yesterday morning by the suicide
of the wife Of Henry Kooser, a mitleE> Of
that place The couple had not been mar
ried but about six weeks and had not gone
to housekeeping, the wife remaining at
home with her parents, about five miles
rom the little town, while her husband
followed his occupation some miles away.
The unfortunate woman chose an oPpor-
tune moment TO commit the terrible deed.
Waiting until the women went out to milk
she stole into the kitchen, and taking a
loaded rifle shot herself through the heart.
Her friends hearing the report OF the
weapon ran in and found her lying dead IN
a pool of blood. No cause can be assigned
for the rash act as no domestic trouble was
known to exist, nor was there any evidence
of mental alteration.

Harry Hill said that he did not believe
that Sullivan could defeat Mace in three
