A Philadelphia special says: This
afternoon. in Bridesburg, suburb Of
this city, Amelia Mag, q brunette Of
"a years Of age, cut her throat in her
mothers kitchen, and died soon after
ward. She had lived all her life with
her mother and brother, the latter,
John F. Mag, keeping prosperous
beer saloon. In house adjoining that
Of the Aaags lives Mrs. Fritsch, whose
daughter Mary has been Amelias most
intimate friend. When she came into
Mrs. Maag's kitchen to pay her usual
afternoon visit to-day, her young friend
lay ON the floor writhing, covered with
throat. Mary Fritscl said, through
her tears:
20 God, that this should have hap
pened through the predictions of q for
tune-teller! About amonth ago little
dried-up old Dutchman-a Rip Van
Winkle, whom no one had ever seen
before-wandered into the village. He
had a queer, quiet look, and when he
registered at an old fashioned hotel over
the bridge he said he was fortune-tel-
ler. Amelia and were sitting in the
back parlor. He seemed struck with
Amelia, and at once proposed in agravc
way to tell our fortunes. He took
Amelia's hand, and, to my intense aston
ishment, told her Of many things Of
which we had often talked. You were
born unlucky,' said he, and you will
bring evil on all whom you love.
Those who give presents to you and
those who receive them from you will
die. You will 6heet dreadful
end We were dumb
founded, and the old man quickly got
up and went way. have never seen
him since. From that day q shadow
seemed to fall over Amelia. She
never told o soul what the fortune-tell-
er said, and neither have I until now.
She seemed to have great weight on her
mind. She was much affected when o
yonng man came to see her three times
and suddenly ceased his visits without
giving her any reason for it. Il am
fased she would say to me, and I tried
In vain to reason her ont of it,"
Her mother oAme into the
room as Amelia stood over the sink with
long butcher knife in her hand, the
blood pouring from her throat, which
WAS split from ear to ear.
