A SAD SUICIDE.
A Young Husband Takes His Life Without
Apparent Cause.
Correspondence Of the Richmond DIspstch.l

Correspondence Of the Richmond Dlspatch.l
PETERSBURG, Va, February Z, 1890.
Tuesday night Mr.. J. NJ. Brockwell, q
vell-known and popular young man of
Emporia. in Greenesville county. CON-
mitted suicide by taking two-ounce vial
of laudanum. AS soon as 1t was discover
ed medical aid was summoned and all
that was possible was done to save his life,
but to no effect. II fingered until 2
o'clock Wednesday morning, when he died
Young Brockwell was raised in Prince
George county. He went 10 live in En-
poria about three years ago. and for the
past eighteen months has been employed
on the Atlantic and Danville railroad.
About twelve months ago he married o
young widow, Mrs. William Robinson,
since which time he has resided in En-
poria. He leaves a wife and one child.
No cause can be assigned for the rash act.
He was seen by his friends only few
moments before taking the laudanum, and
was observed ~ be in his usual good
spirits. He was universally popular, aud
his untimely end is much regretted. II is
thought that domestic troubles must have
been the cause.

The Veritable Fountain Of Youth.

Patrick Dunn, the locator of the
fountain of eternal youth, writes as
follows to an intimate friend in rela-
ton to his success in renewing the
youth of a veteran four time loser of
above three score years, whom he re-
Gently took to what he terms his magic
spring, located somewhere in the north
east corner of Storey county, to further
test the rejuvenating virtue of the
water:
The test on old JEFF is succeeding be-
yond my most sanguine expectations.
1t Is scarcely a month since he left the
Comstock-a venerable, gray haired
patriarch, whose form was bowed with
the weight of IS winters, and hard
ones at that For the first two weeks.
after bathing him four times daily in
the spring, and having him drink
copiously of the water, his snow white
beard and hair began turning dark at
the roots, and the wrinkles at the
corners of his eyes and mouth began
to disappear. His form is now as erect
and his step as elastic as that of q
youth OF 20, and his cheeks are assum-
ing the roseatic hue of perfect health.
and L am now confident that l have
made the most important discovery in
the history of the world. will bring
old jeff to the Comstock about the
middle of September looking as youth
full as a man of 20 years. will make
my next test on a millionaire, who
must agree to give me rs per cent. Of
his wealth for restoring his youth

Exiling q Bell.

One of the most curious sights in
Tobolsk was the Kamaoulie Koloko,
or bell with the ear torn off," It
was kept in a kind of shed near the
archbishop's palace, and its romantic
history is often told in Tobolsk. In
the Sixteenth century Prince Dimitri,
the rightful heir to the Russian throne,
was deposed by revolt led by Boris
Godunotf, who was then proclaimed
car. The seat of government was at
Uglich, and there Dimitri was sent to
be under the immediate control of the
unlawful ruler.
The usurper, fearing that the popu-
lace might awake to the claims of the
young prince, planned his assassina-
ton, and he was one day stabbed in a
court yard. None of the bystanders
showed disposition to aid him.
A priest, however, saw the crime
from the cathedral belfry, and imme-
diately began tolling the great bell,
which was held sacred, and only rung
on unusual occasions, such as the cor
onation or death of a car.
Furious at this tacit expression of re-
proach, the car commanded that the
priest should be tortured and executed,
and the bell taken down and placed
beside the body of it's ringer. The or
der was literally fulfilled, and the bell
was beaten with clubs by the entire
populace, with the Gar Boris at their
head
But this was not all. In those days
Siberian exiles were tortured before
setting out on their journey by having
their nostrils torn off with red hot PIN
GERS. The car now decreed that the
bell should be exiled to Tobolsk, but as
it had no nostrils, he commanded with
a certain grim humor that one of its
hangers should be removed, to indicate
its disgrace
The people of Tobolsk are very fond
Of this trophy, and one sees bells every.
where in the town; as signs over the
inn doors, toys, workboxes, cigarette
cases. and even sleeve links.-Youth's
Companion.

Hope, in the basement of the Chapman
block. 1t caught from the stove-pipe.
Joseph Liberty, young man in the en-
ploy of Mr.. Hope, had built a fire in the
stove few minutes before, and when he
came back the wall and some woodwork
near by were in flames. He got out a
small chemical eXtinguisher kept on the
premises and by the aid of this had near
ly extinguished the fire when help came.
An alarm was given and both the fire

fortunately their services were not re-
quired. The total damage, by fire, smoke
and water, does not exceed $50. Appear
ances indicated that an explosion in the
stove blew the pipe down.
