HIS LAST LITERARY EFFoRT.-A sensation was
caused in Quincy, ILL.,. on Thursday morning last,
by the discovery that q. o. Wood, editor of tho
Sunday Optic. had committed suicide. he shot
himself about nine o'clock Wednesday night but
though several people heard the shot the facts
were not discovered until next morning when q
chambermaid went to his room. A singular fea-
ture of the case is that on a table by which he
was sitting when he ended his life were found
thirty-sevon pages Of closely written manuscript
carefully prepared for the printer, giving sen
sational account of his own suicide. 1t was ad'
dressed to Brother reporters"
Wood was the son of wealthy parents, and had
served in different capacities on all the Quincy
papers, but did not seem to have been successful
journalist. He was well known and very popu.
lar, but his efforts to make reputation as hum
orist resulted in disappointment, and from the
story written by himself it is quite evident that
it was this disappointment which drove him to
/ death.
He indicated in his writing that he had fol
some time felt that his mind was disordered ano
becoming more SO. Then he limited that there
/ was hidden secret, trouble that he had tacee
| bravely for years. but it had at last become tot
heavy and he had concluded to dodge the issue BY
getting out OF the world.

A TRAGEDY.

at half past o'clock Saturday evening a
member of the New York Centrs! Park
police force heard pistol-shot. A second
and third, in quick succession, gave him the
direction, aud, hurryiug through the shrub
berry in the darkness, he found himself
close by the statue Of the 'Pilgrim," on the
East drive. Hero he heard another shot,
then several deep groans, and ell was still.
A light was struck aud this was what the
officer saw: A man and woman, both robed
deeply in black as though prepared for
funeral, lying upon horse-blanket. The
woman was dead and smile was upon her
face, which in life had been pretty. The
man was dying and soon, too, was still. On
the woman's breast, which she had barred
for the bullet, lay lock of her lovers hair,
and upon his breast dead leaf and rose.
Each wore on their left hand a black 81 love,
aud between them was "bull dog" pistol.
A drop of oil on the woman's hand and
the CRIME of smoke on her fingers showed
there was no murder, but suicide, and the
man having died last indicated that he had
waited for the woman's death before taking
his own life. Two bullet-holes Were in her
breast at her heart, and her companions
aim had been as true. Between them was 4
box full of love-letters The bodies were pac-
ed upon stretcher by Dougsn, the officer,
and others who had arrived, and carried to
the street, whore a wagon was procured,
in which they were taken to the morgue.
The box of love-letters was opened There
was mass of them. Part were written by
George Bassendorf, of Union, Hudson coun-
ty, n. j., to Maria Who "Maria" was or
is was not disclosed by any evidences found.
Among the papers we're ballots of destiny
that had been taken by two. They had
clearly sat with each other and deliberated
death, and left it to chance, each at the
same time writing fatal wish upon paper.
Slips were there, and on them the words
shall we die ?n and "Shali we live" Die
had finally been cast fatally, and the two, it
is reasoned, had repaired to the park to die
together.
The man was printer working on the
Freie Presse, in Jersey City. Each was
about thirty years old. The woman's let
ters told of welded life that was hell and of
q husband who was to her the demon. The
letters give the impression that their lives
had been without sin and only hopeless.
They loved each other so much and could
be so little to each other that they concluded
to die. The woman left letters to her child
rem and others, all in German. The man
Basseudorf had boarded in her family, and
thus she came to love him more and her
husband less.

a RENT IN THE EARTH.-TheTe is groat
excitement in Lon-Aire township, Beaufort
county, n. Co. iu regard to an alarming
natural phenomenon which is rapidly de.
velopiug itself. On the night of September
18th shocks Of great violence were felt in
that vicinity The scene of disturbance is
IN the vicinity of Shiloh church the central
point OF the shock A relia Die colored man
who lives near by, and who was awake the
night above mentioned, says he felt the
trembling of the earth very perceptibly, and
on the following morning it was discovered
that mysterious chasm had made its ap-
pearance directly across the public road
near the church, measuring foot in width
and hundred yards in length. From every
indication, the surroundings seemed to
be in an unsettled condition. The news
soon spread in the community, and num-
ber of excited persons were present IN
short time. 1t was observed that the chasm
was gradually widening and extending,
showing that some unusual convulsion OF
nature was in progress. AS there was no
further violent agitation at that time the
affair has remained comparatively quiet,
and the public at large have just become
fully aware of its magnitude. The so called
rent, or chasm, is now assuming very seri.
Gus proportions. 1t is continually widening
and lengtheping, and actually threatening
disaster to the surrounding section. 1t has
now deviated from its former course, which
was easterly, to northerly direction, cross
ing a small embankment and running in
zg-zag line about fifty yards from the
church. Several attempts have been made
to obtain an idea of its depth, but have
been unsuccessful, owing to the shape in
which it runs. There are various conjec-
lures as to the origin of such an unusual
state of things.
