A Convict's Terrible Suicide.

A Convict's Terrible Suicide.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Dec. Is
John WEIGH, a convict at the peni-
Tertiary, committed suicide at 4
o'clock this evening in a most hor-
rible manner. He attended ser
vices with the other convicts in
the prison chapel, which is in the
fourth story OF the new dining hall.
In filing out WEIGH stopped a
minute on the little portico, and,
without a word, leaped off. He
caught on the landing of the third
story, and, although badly hurt.
jumped again. This time he fell
to the basement of the building;
his head struck on a stone and the
skull was crushed in on one side. His
leg was also broken by the fall. He
was carried to the hospital, and
continued to breathe for one hour.
Welch was convicted of a nameiess
crime in Stoddard county Last
November, and prior to his lncar-
ceration in the ~penitentiary tried to
cut his throat. He was crazy when
brought here, and was in the hos
pital under treatment. He was
AZ years old, a native of Pennsyi-
vania, and single.

GUTHRIE-FRENCH
A Quiet Wedding at the Home
Of the Brides Parents
Tuesday.

At two o'clock Tuesday, Rev.
A. NJ. Vardeman united in
the bonds of matrimony, Mr.. S.
Price Guthrie and MISS Annie c.
French. The wedding was strict
ly private, none being present but
the near relatives of the contract
ing parties, and took place at the
residence of the BRIDES parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. w. l.. French, on
North Water street.
After the wedding the happy
bride and groom were escorted to
their future home ON South Jeffer-
son street, where they are at home
to friends. The LEDGER joins the
hosts of friends who have known
the young people for years in con-
CALCULATIONS and heartfelt wishes
for their future happiness, which
we know is assured.
Messrs. Harper IL Rixey, the dry
goods men, must have offered
something soft this week to their
customers, judging from the way a
representative of this paper found
the crowds daily thronging their
house. We were told this firms
special sales of hosiery and hand
kerchiels were the largest that ever
occurred in this city. People can
not help knowing a good thing
when it Is offered. They tell you
their whole stock of goods is at
your mercy, and Harper & Rixey
never say anything but what they
mean. Their whole stock of
merchandise must be reduced be-
fore January l. Go and reap the
benefits.

WHO ARE THEY?
No People of the Name Live

From the MoberIy Monitor.

From the Moberly Monitor.
1t was a man from Mexico, Mo-,
who registered at one of our first
class hotels, and whs had with him
his wife, but registered in a rather
peculiar way for man and wife.
For instance: The man registered
John White, Mexico, Mo-, Susan
White, Mexico, Mo. The result
was that they were consigned to
different rooms, and when it was
apparent to the husband that they
were to have separate rooms, there
was a grand kick made. Upon a
satisfactory explanation, however,
on the part of the stranger, the
two were allowed to occupy the
same room. 1t turned out to be a
newly married couple, who were
on their way to Sedalia, and had
just two hours to remain here
before the Sedalia train took its
departure. Was it exactly right
for the hotel clerk to "ring the
chestnut bell" on a man coming
from Mexico anyway? The people
generally from that section are
considered honest and industrious.
The hotel clerk is highly commend
ed for attending strictly to his bust
ness, but Mr.. White thinks he
ought to be indicted by the next
grand jury.

The Wool Market,

Demand continues fair In the Wool mark land
prices are steady. There is no unusal activlt and
no prospect # any at present. Interest in the
market centers wholly in the product of the mills.
There is no troub about supplies. What bust
ness the manufacturers are getting for the com.
ny season is largely on last years basis of values.
Wool is firm abroad, but ~ longer shows advan-
ces. %
At Boston fine Ohio Woods are in better request
than usual, though values are uneven Some de
scriptions are nc higher T. an last week. while
others are unchanged. There is relatively less
inquiry for Txas, California and territory sup
plies. Little is doing in spring Texas Wool and
the sales from the ia clip reach no great proper
tions.
