SUICIDE OF TWO LOVERS IN CENTRAL PARK.
Saturday evening, New York Central
Park policeman on duty near I'D street and
9Th avenue gate heard four pistol shots in
quick succession. Fastening TO the loeali-
ty whence came the sound he found near
the Pilgrim statue man and woman, both
robed deeply in black, as though prepared
for funeral, lying upon q horse blsnket.
The woman was dead and a smile was upon
her face which in life had been pretty. The
man was dying and soon, he too, was still.
On the woman's breast, which she had barred
for the bullet, lay lock of her lovers hair
and upon his dead leaf and a rose. Each
wore on their left hand black glove and
between them lay "bulI dog pistol.
A drop Of oil on the woman's hand showed
that there was no murder, hut suicide, and
the man having died last indicated that he
was awaiting the woman's death before taking
his own life. There were two bullet holes in
her breast at her heart, aud her companions
