MURDER AND. SUICIDE.
Edward Findley Murders His Wife and
Then Cuts His Own Throat.
Tragic Ending of the Lives of Man and
Wife-The Terrible Deed the Result of
Insanity and the Most Horrible Onr
M. City has Known for Many Years.

Z That portion of the city in the neigh
borhood of l55 Martin street was thrown
into g terrible excitement Monday
morning shortly after nine O'clock, by
murder, the details Of which are about
as follows: Edward Findley, the we'll
known singer with his vie, called on
his sister-in-law Mrs. Peter Conway and
stayed all night. In the morning about
8 O'Clock Fndley and his wife came into
the kitchen from the sitting room
shortly afterward Mrs. Findley put her
shawl about her neck and started to go
out. when Finley asked if she was going
to work. Sne made no reply but took a
step toward the door He stopped her
and told her to take off her shawl, and
unwound it from her neck. Then pick
ing up knife which lay on the table be
drew her head back and cut her throat
Mrs. Conway seeing what was transpir
ing attempted to rescue her sister, when
Findley turned on her drawing the
knife from the wound. Mrs. Findley as
be turned from her with superhuman
strength ran from the room into mar.
row alley way between two houses.
Findley pursued her and struck her
with stick OF wood, crushing her skull.
and killing her almost instantly. Find
ley then went back into the house and
taking the knife again, cut his own
throat and went up stairs and lay down
on the bed. In the excitement it was
not known what had become of him and
1t was thought he had attem pied to es-
cape, but alter time he was found
sveltering in his own blood which he
had tried to staunch with dress of Miss
Maud Conway's, by winding it about his
throat. He was taken to the hospital
where he died about $50 that evening.
An Impression seems to prevail thai
the deed was done in a fit of jealousy
but the indications more clearly point to
insanity. He has been respondent for
some time and only short time ago
while playing an engagement in Still
waiter he had to be locked up on &C.
count of the unsoundness of his mind.
He had had no cause for jealousy as his
wife was considered above reproacb,
they had been together all night and
had called on two of the neighbors on
the morning Of the tragedy and the most
pleasant relations seemed to exist be-
tween them. Just before the death of
Findley he said to guard that he did
not know why he committe d the deed
and hoped his wife would not die and
that he would recover. ...E
The remains of Mrs. Findley were in
tered in Oakland cemetery Wednesday
afternoon from the undertakes, there
being no regular burial service. Find
ley's remains are still at the und ertakers
and an effort is being made to find his
relations before he is buried in order to
consult their wishes in the matter.
The affair has crested the greatest
sensation that has TRANSFERRED in Colored
circles.

There can be no justification. The only
excuse is that permitting Golf to be seat
ed as Governor would end the career of
the desperate and disreputable men who
were able to do these things. A search

establishing that Golf was the choice OF
the majority. 10 keep him out OF office

witness to the statement, expressed at
tho time, that Harr was open to the ap-

not SO singular, the business matter with
which Harr was connected was promptly

penned in his Ecclesiastes centuries ago.
Rejoice, o old man, in thy age" Is on
apostrophe that Is just as appropriate

locker, and not an active participant In
the affairs Of life2 1t Is d grave error
to suppose that because q man Ia old no
must be uperannuated and placed out
side OF the pale OF activity. Years bring
experience and experience makes men
wise counsclors. II Is tho old that must
shape and plan and tho young that must

again and again, but u pound OF the

sneer at the experience Of others and to
console ones self with the thought that
what affects another person may not

OF lie and always will DO.
Youth Is generally synonymous with
beauty. The elastic step, the flashing
eye, the rosy cheek, on which Is the

are all material. There Is a magnetism
about 1t that Is irresistible. There may
be less OF the magnetic in age. But in
Its place we have repose, dignified
maturity, an air Of settled wisdom that,
to the contemplative mind, far exceeds
the more dasliing attributes Of younger
years. There il no youthful beauty that
IL equal to the beauty Of mature life.
One might rs well compare the half

woman is all the more beautiful for the
years that is crowded upon her. For
these years have mellowcd not only her
