Suicide OF a YOung Lady Miss Mary
Muschette daughter Of George u. Nnseheite
formerly Of this, now residing 10 Queen Anre's
county, and grand daughter Of the late Rich
ard Barnes, for many years Chief Judge Of the
Orphans Court Of this county, committed
suicide on Monday last at the residence Of her
aunt, Mrs. Mamie Brown 10 Washington,
D. C., by cutting her throat with razor
The young lady lost her mother in infancy
and was adopted by a relative in Minneapolis
with whom she has resided nearly all her life.
Several months ago she came to this county
on a visit to relatives and stopped with
her aunt Mss Jennie Muschette, who resides
at La Plata with Mr. II. g. Robertson. She
made many friends here who we're charmed
with her pleasant face aud attractive manners.
About five weeks agc she went n Washing
ton and took a civil service examination for
position in one Of the government depart
ments, but failing to get a hearing from her
examination she became low spirited and de-
spondent and her health began to fail. On
Monday morning she did not leave her bed
antil Il O'Clock and complained If feeling III,
but refused to see a physician, and with the
assurance 10 her aunt that she would soon he
all right she was left. Some time afterwards
her aunt went TO inquire how she felt and
found that the young lady bad left her bed.
On II search being made she was found in the
fourth story Of the building lying dead upon
the floor with a great cash ia her throat, from
which the blood was still oozing. The young
lady was regarded as very pretty, with
small but graceful figure. No other cause
than the effect Of the civil service examina-
ton upon her nervous system can be assigned
for her suicide. Her remains were brought
to La Plata and we're buried at Mount Rest
Cemetery.

A Firebrand.- 1t is reported that at the
meeting of the Port Tobacco Alliance held
here on Saturday last resolution was offered
to the effect that the Port Tobacco Alliance

Tempustete Iron.

Philip Deidesheimer, DR.. Eames and
L. B. Howard returned from their in.
vestigation trip to the Tempustete iron
mines, on the steamer Carlos Facheco,
Thursday morning, says the San Diego
Union, but as they were so worn out by
their hard journey, they have not been
disposed to talk on the subject to any
extent. Mr.. Diedesheimer, in conver-
sation with a Union representative,
said yesterday: 1.-THE mine at Tempus-
tete is forty miles below Ensenada by
water and eighty-ive by land. We
went overland by stage, and l am not
over the effects OF that hard trip yet,
and so do not care to be interviewed. ="
"But," he continued, "the mine was
just fairly started, but the ore seems to
be very uniform and soft; that is what
makes it so valuable, and is quite abun-
dant. 1t could be transported cheaper
from those mines than from San Bernar-
dino to the Roseville plant, for at the
mine we just visited the water is not
more than 1900 to 1400 feet away. l
have said enough on this subject, and
if you want further particulars DR..
Eames is the person to talk with" The
doctor was hunted up, but said he had
nothing more to say in regard to the
iron ore for few days.
