AN AMERICAN LADY
Loses Heavily at Moate Carlo and Makes
Three Attempts to Take Her Life.

LONDON, April 1O.-An American. Mrs. Jane
Whitcomb, has met with heavy loses at the gam
ing tables of Monte Carlo. and has made three
desperate attempts at suicide. At first she tried
morphine OF which she took very LARGE dose,
but her condition was discovered in time and she
was restored to consciousness and her life saved.
People were set to keep guard over her to prevent
a second attempt on her life: but She eyaded her
watchers and opened vein in her arm. with the
purpose of bleeding to death. Again she was de-
tected before a fatal result was attained, and was
restored. Finding it useless to try to prevent re-
FeatiDg her efforts, the proprietor OF the hotel in
which She lived, for the sake of the reputation of
his house requested her to leave the hOIel. she
did so. and went at once TO Cannes. She had
scarcely arrived there when she threw herself into
the sea. She again failed, however, TO accomplish
her aim, and was rescued from drowning. She
has since been placed in an asylum. as the only
reliable means OF keeping her from another aud
perhaps successful sensational attempt AT suicide
Mrs Whitcomb'S husband was formerly Auditor
General of Minnesota.

an hour made seething sea of flames

stand.
AT noon the situation had become appall-
ing. The flames were still moving steadily
southwest. All efforts to stop the flames at
Coleman's mill proved futile. The immense
structure was soon mass OF fire. The great
planning mill adjoining was also caught, and
all the adjoining property was threatened.
The workmen and the fire department turned
their attention toward Cass street, where the
fremen were set to work to tear down the
lum Der piles, that the flames might be stop
ped there. All hope of saving the immedi-
ate property was abandoned. A train of
thirteen box cars belonging to the Milwsu-

of them were consumed. AT p. M. it was
evident the fire was gaining on the men.
