The scene at Turner's hall yester.
day afternoon, on occasion of the
matinee by Semon, the magician, was
about as interesting a one as was
ever witnessed here. Upwards of
twelve hundred children, besides
several hundreds of older folks, were
in the hall to witness the wonderful
performance, and, as the manager
said, it was the best attended matte
nee he had ever given in this country,
excepting one occasion in Chicago.
The little orphans, about thirty in
number, had been admitted free of
charge, and occupied the best front
seats. After the performance, Mr..
Semon stated that his little daughter
wonId present each of the little or
phans with something to remember
her by, and all were asked to post
themselves in front of the stage,
where the presents were distributed.
1t was pleasant hour for the little
ones, and they will never forget it,

PROBABLE SUICIDE

MYSTERIOUS Disap 1earance of a Recently
Welded Man, With Indications Pointing
to Suicide-Singular Contents of the Miss
ing Mans Trunk-He Was the Victim of a
Nervous Complaint.
HONEsDALE, Pa, September 17.-R-
f Webb, a well-to-do farmer living
near Glass Factory Pond, four miles
from this village, met Mary Pollard,
young woman from Bowmans-
vile, Ont, who was visiting friends
here. Before she returned home Miss
Pollard and Webb became engaged.
Webb was afflicted with a nervous dis
ease, OF which the young woman was ig--
norant at the time of the engagement.
The disease was attended at times with
violent spasms. Shortly after she re-
turned home one of her friends in this
county wrote and told her OF Weob's
afflction, and she broke the engagement.
Some time ago, believing he had beer
cured. Webb renewed his suit and was
AGAIN accented. On Wednesday last
week the couple were married. They
returned TO Webb's farm on Sunday las {.
Tuesday morning Webb went away from
the house to dc some work about the
farm. Not returning at dinner search
was made. His clothing was found on
the shore of Glass Factory Pond. His
body lay in the outlet of the pond, in but
two feet of water. AS he seemed fearful,
on his way home with his bride, that he
would be again seized with his old dis
ease, and was depressed with the
thought, many believe that he committed
suicide rather than live with the fear OF
disturbing both his own and his wife's-
life. singular incident connected with
his dea h was revealed on opening his
trunk after his death. A lady's mourning
hat and other mourning garments of
recent make were found in the
trunk, which was one he had Travelled
with on mis- wedding trip. The family
think that he went bathing In the pond
and was seized with fit. He was forty
years old.
