Causes "fhis Reckless Act.
NEW 0NN, August 11.--In the pala-
tl2l residence Of his sister, Mrs. Amos
Cottim", S35 9TH avenue, this afternoon
was found the body of Joseph \. Jam
eSon, Il Broad street broker and banker.
lie had hanged himself from the bed

the fourth floor. jameson was reported
60 be Il millionaire and was the Stock
Exchange member Of the firm of Jam
cS"n, Smith & Co, bankers and brokers,
ut the corner Of Exchange place and
Broad street. The second member of
Tie firm is James ID. Smith, commodore
of the New York Yacht Club.
JmcSonS family are out of town, and
from what canbc learned from his friends
temporary insanity, caused by illness
and perhaps aggravated by q feeling of
loneliness in the absence of his family, is
thought to be the cause Of the tragedy.
Mrs Jameson and her youngest son, q mi
nor II years old, are ut Scarboro Beach,
x. Two sons Addison, the eldest, a
widowcr 33 years old, and Alexander, %
years old-and Il daughter, Mrs Thomas
- Manson, were spending Sunday ut their
lar'Cr'S farm ut Clinton COnnOrs, eight
hllleS from Poughl1ccpsic, and the sec
oliu ua'srhtcr, Mrs. Myra Murphy, widow
ol H''En%l Murphy. .Jr, at Elberton, NJ.

from 'hG ONCE ,"rd told servant that
ne would 90 to his room to rest. He
did not appear to-day, and becoming
alarmed the Scrvcnt callcda I';nK police
man, who entered the brokers' rooms
through the one unlocked door. He
found the body hanging with sheet
around the neck, the other end of which
had been thrown over the door and tied
To the knob. The suicide had knelt so
as to cause Strangulation quickly, and
his knees almost touched the floor. The
millionaire had evidently diSrobcd with
the Intention of retiring for the night
before the awful impulse seized him. lie
was only clad in his night shirt and
drawers.
The body was taken down and placed
ON bed. superintendent jerks, of the
Murray Hill Hotel, Il hear friend of the
deceased, took charge of the funeral ar
engagements. Nothing was found to in
dicatr the cause of the deed Jameson
WAS taken sick three months ago, and
WAS still weak when, three weeks ago, he
was taken with throat trouble. The lat
ter affection was so serious that Prof. T..
J. lancway was kept in close attend
ancr. The trouble increased, and physi-
cal pain may have resulted in sudden
insanity.
jameson came to New York from st.
Louis in 1850 with his brOthcr-in-laW

Dlckey county has been taken. DR.. M.
F. Merchant, of this city, made contract
to construct an artesian well at Yorktown
and furnish water for irrigation purposes
to four farmers of that town. He charges
them 81 per acre per annum for ten
years, and guarantees them sufficient was
ter for the 800 acres which they have un-
der cultivation. His total revenue will
be $4,000, besides which he will use the
water to lrrigate his own farm. The to-.
tai cost of sinking and piping the WELL
including the purchase OF Il drilling out,
fit will be about So, 400 He already has
an engine which will furnish tho power

hain't sufferin' for water and feed and be-
in run OF the range and branded by COW
thieves, then I'm scrvin' Jim as he wants
to be served. And il was ridin' for the
Lord Id believe it was His wish that I'd,
rido out in the raylnes of darkness and
tho hills of sin and keep his herd from
bcin' branded by the devil and run off to
where the feed was short and drnkin'
holes in the creek all dry and no ccdars
and pines for shelter when the blizzards,
come. II don't see how I'd be helping
the Lord out if jest laid round the ranch
eatin' up the grub could git and gittin'
down on my prayer bones and taffyin'
the Lord and askin for more. The Bible
says somclhin' somrwh"re--Tv We got the
place marked with an ace Of diamonds
about how people serve the Lord by
fecdin' and watcrn' and lookin' after the
herd, and think it would do lots of peo-
pie good to read it over. When crittur
has had his moral natur' starved ever
since he was q calf, and been let run q
human maverick till the devil took pity
on him, jest cause nobody else didn't
look after him and put his brand on linn
so deep that even IN the spring, when the
hairs longest, it's no trouble to tell
whose herd he belongs to, and it shows
mighty PLAIN that the COW punchers of
the Lord has been huntin' salary harder
than they've been huntin' souls.-Cham-
pion (Mont) Herald.
