A TRAGIC EVENT.
A Fathers Despair and Self Inflicted
Death-Bis Sons Final Rescue, too
Late to Save His Parent.


which can readily be verified.
The inhabitants of the pleasant town
of Cortland, N. Y, were shocked one
morning by the announcement that Mr..
Clinton Rindge, one of their most
prominent citizens, had committed sui
eide. The news spread rapidly and
aroused the whole neighborhood where
Mr.. Rindge was so well and favorably
known. At first it seemed impossible
that one so quiet and domestic could
do so rash deed, and the inquiry was
heard on every side as to the cause.
The facts as developed on investiga-
ton proved to be as follows:
Mr.. Riudge was domestic in his
tastes and took the greatest enjoyment
in the society of his children and pride
in their development. And indeed he
had good reason to be proud, for they
gave promise of long lives Of success
and usefulness. But an evil day
came. His youngest son, VIII
liam, began to show signs of an early
decay. He felt unusually tired
each day, and would sometimes sleep
the entire afternoon if permitted to do
so. His head panied him, not acutely,
but with dull, heavy feeling. There
was sinking sensation at the pit of his
stomach. He lost all relish for food
and much of his interest for things
about him. He tried manfully to over
come these feelings, but they seemed
stronger than his will. He began to
lose flesh rapidly. The father became
alarmed and consulted physicians as to
the cause of his sons illness, but they
were unable to explain. Finally severe
sores broke out on his arms and he was
taken to Buffalo where painful oper-
alton was performed resulting in the |
loss of much blood but affording little |
relief. The young man returned home
and council of physicians was called.
After an exhaustive examination they
declared there was no hope of final re-
covery and that he must die within a
very few days. To describe the agony
which this announcement caused the
'ather would be impossible. His mind
JAILED to grasp its full meaning at
irst; then finally seemed to compre-
lend it, but the load was too great
n an agony of frenzy he seized knife
md took his own life, preferring death
ather than to survive his ldolized son.
1t that time William Rindge was too,
weak to know what was Transporting.
lis face had turned black, his breath
eased entirely at times, and his friends
waited for his death, believing that the
lend Bright's disease of the kidneys,
rom which he was suffering, could not
re removed. In this supreme moment

tut she was firm, and putting all back
pproached her brothers bedside and
remedy which she for ,
Inately had on hand. Within an hour
e seemed more easy, and before the
ay was over he showed signs of de-
lied improvement. These favorable
gins continued, and to-day William B.

used from the dead through the mar 8

Any one who reflects upon the facts

However sad this case may be, the
