w. Gehring, of Cleveland, o., brother OF
Charles e. Gehring, who killed himself
at the International Hotel on Tuesday.
came here Yesterday to take charge of
his brothers body. He told the reporter
that the statements made about his
brothers family troubles which had
appeared in some of the papers
were utterly false. He had never
quarreled either with his father or his
wife. They had been rather too lndul-
gent with him if anything. He
mad been in poor health for
some time, and lately had
gotten into bad company. The autopsy
showed that he had pneumonia, and as
he had been drinking heavily, it seems
probably that he was delirious when he
stabbed himself. He seemed cheerful
when last seen by his family.
CHICAGO, June 1.-[Specia Mrs.
Carrie Harrington, wife of a wholesale
druggist, took her own life in the most
sensational manner, at EngleWood,
Thursday. During the last few years
she has several times attempted to
commit suicide, and her husband has
found it necessary to have her closely
watched. Thursday, while her attend
ant was temporarily out of the room,
Mrs. Harrington took some matches and
ran to the basement. There she poured
kerosene over her dress and set fire to
it with a match. In an instantshe was
in flames, but she calmly sat down in
the doorway. The attendant, attracted
by the smoke, returned and with the
assistance of a man at work on the
house tried to save wOman's life by
dashing pals of water OF her. When
the flames were put out, Mrs. Harring-
ton was dead, her body being burned
to a cinder. She was 30 years Of age.
COLUMBUS, o., May 31.-[Special. l.
The Cal. Brice train leaves here for the
st. Louis Convention Saturday. Dele
gates from all parts of the state are to
meet here to take the train and it is
probable that at that at that time the
delegates will organize and it is possible
that some action may be taken on the
subject of presenting the name of
Thurman for the Vice Presidency.
Although Judge Thurman says he
is not a candidate, there are
many who think after all he will be
glad to take this nomination if he can
get it. The fact that Thurman has of
late taken every possible opportunity
to speak in complimentary terms of
President Cleveland is taken by many
to be significant in that connection.
When the committee to invite Cleve-
land to attend the Centennial met,
Thurman expressed a desire that
when he comes, if he does come, he
shall stop at the Thurman residence.
