plain to the assistant engineer in
charge that it would be impossible to
raise the water in Mother Wards

nobody denies, that owing to the very
small amount of rainfall during the

five and six feet, and it became neces.

suicide of Mrs. Ann Parsons.

Died from the effects of strichnine
intention" Such was the verdict of
the Coroner after holding an inquest
on the body of Mrs. Ann Parsons, a
resident of this city.
Mrs. Parsons was a sister of Mr..
Lewis Morgan, and resided in a neat
little house, of which she was the own
er, on the east side of East St., living
alone. The last seen of her alive was
on Tuesday evening, the 18th, and on
Wednesday evening, about half past
nine, Mrs. Thompson, living across
the street, went to see if anything was
wrong. She found the doors fastened
and the windows all down, and nailed
upon the back door was slip of paper
on which was written: "This door to
be opened by Lewis Morgan" Mrs.
#. became alarmed and at once told
her husband, who Immediately pro-
ceeded to Mr.. Morgan's and notified
him. They repaired to the house and
by hard work Mr.. Thompson at last
succeeded in gaining an entrance
through a window and unlocked the
door for Mr.. Morgan, and by the light
of lantern they proceeded to investi-
gate. Entering the room which was
used by Mrs. P. as a sleeping apart
lying across the bed, the head hang
ing over the side. A lamp was burn
ing very dimly on the stove, looking
as though it had been burning a long

my money and papers," The pocket
book was examined and found to con
Jain $40 81 in money, a certificate of
deposit on the Second National Bank
Of Ravenna for $40. and other valuable
papers.
The Coroner was notified and an in
quest held Thursday morning, the t, s.
timony produced and the circum-
stances all showed clearly that the
deceased came to her death by her
own hand, and that she had contem.
plated the act for long time. Mrs.
Parsons was, some six years ago, an
inmate of the N. o. Insane Asylum,
and it is supposed that the thoughts
Of going there again may have induced

Another wonderful discovery has
been made and that too by a lady in

death seemed imminent. For three
months she coughed necessarily and
could not sleep. She bought of us a
