EVERY ONE MYSTIFIED.
A Young and Pretty Bride Found Dead Near
Bangor, Ireland.

Young and Pretty Bride Found Dead Near
Bangor, Ireland.
BELFAST, Dec. 29.-What is supposed to be q
mysterious and tragic suicide is the sensation
Of the day in and about this neighborhood.
From the accounts given out by the police,
who maintain a mysterious silence upon many
important links in the story, the following ap-
pear to be the facts in the case: man named
Mcdowell, who it is supposed was born in this
city, went to South Africa some years ago,
finally settled down in the diamond mine
region and managed to accumulate fortune
to have come to the conclusion that he had
made money enough and that it was
time for him to return to the old country.
Consequently he realized upon his belongings
in South Africa and prepared to return to Ire
land. Previous to so doing, however, he mar
ried beautiful girl belonging to Kimberly,
the celebrated diamond mining town in West
Gritland, South Africa, about one hundred
miles northwest Of Bloemfontein. After his
marriage Mcdowell sailed with his bride for
this country.
After their arrival here Mr.. and Mrs. Nc
Dowell passed some time in this city and they
seemed to settle down at Bangor with the in
tention of passing their honeymoon in
that place. Last night the inhabitants of
Bangor we're thrown into a state of great
excitement when it became known that
the body Of Mrs. Mcdowell had been found by
the roadside Just outside the town with an
poison, lying beside her. So far these are the
facts obtained from the police, who are investi-
eating the mystery of Mrs. McDowelrs death.
Many rumors naturally have been circulated in
regard to the affair, but no details are as yet
officially announced.

REssoSs
Ever since the first consignment Of Or.
Koch's lymph reached this city the local physi-
Clans have been anxious 10 secure a nice. we'll
developed case Of lupus TO work upon. Lupus
is disease presumably caused by the disease
germ tubercular bacillus. and shows itself in
tie form Of an liberated growing sore tia, eats
away the flesh of the luckless patient
II is fortunately a rare disease and hitherto
there have been no cases to be found in this
city when wanted A few years ago there were
few cases known OF, but they gradually dis
appeared from sight.
GENUINE CASH OF LUPUS.
A day or two ago, however a white man from
Southeast Washington came to the Emergency
Hospital for treatment Itwas soon learned
that he had genuine case of lupus on has arm.
from which he had suffered for five or six
years.
He has agreed to try the new treatment as
sort OF last resort and it is probable that the
first injection of the lymph will be made
on wednesday next. European physicians
have had fattering success in treating this
horrible disease BY means Of Dr. hoch's
remedy and this case here will be watched with
great interest. DIR. Rozier Middleton of the
Emergency Hospital staff will make the injec-
ton, assisted by DIR. Carr.
ANOTHER SUFFERER WHO DECLINES TO BE
TREATED.
DR.. Middleton recently got on the track Of
one Of the lupus sufferers who used to be known
to the physicians here. This patient is an ell
derly colored man who lives in South Wash
ington. Most of the nose and a large
part of his face have been eaten away
by this dread disease, which be has always in
sisted he contracted by getting his nose po;s-
oned from brush fire. When the nature of
the remedy was explained 10 him, and relief il
ciined absolutely to be treated.
mo sab, said he to DIR. Middleton. "ef de
good Lawd intends me TO go 20 dc grave wild
my nose eat away and my Face scyaEed all up,
why den OATS ali right. 1 amt gwine to med
die wild it. He knows de best"
The old man could not be moved and science
will have to get along without that interesting
case.
