FOR LOVE OF A DEAD BROTHER.
Lawrence MCDOnagh'S Grief Leads Him
10 Commit Suicide.

The cause OF the suicide of Lawrence +.
MoDonagh, who kept q butcher shop at 800
East Twenty ninth street and lived at No. 245,
nearly opposite, Is remarkable, even in the
mortuary reports of this great city.
McDonaghs young wife found him last
night, dead, with q bullet in his brain, on the
moor IN their parlor, directly under the picture
Of his younger brother, Eddie. who died only
three weeks ago.
Larry, as he was familiarly known, and Ed.
die, were both butchers, and for time were
In business together. Later Eddie opened a
shop on Third avenue, while Larry continued
on Twenty ninth street.
The separation OF their business interests
caused no breach In their exceptional love for
each other.
Each shared the others joys, sorrows (wna,
Few they had) and benefits, and they were
alike popular with all their acquaintances.
Little wonder, then, when three weeks age
Eddie died after two days illness that Larry
was alnost distracted. He could scarcely be
restrained from lying down beside his brothers
body when the undertaken was preparing 1t for
burial. and he repeatedly remarked;
~ can't live. know can't ! can hear
Eddie calling me all tue time, ana know ne
wants me TO come TO him.. "
McDonagh's friends thought his grief would
wear OF after while, but II rather increased
and he took to drinking heavily.
He seemed more cheerful yesterday, and In
the evening he took his wife and baby girls,
one three, the other scarcely one year old, out
for long walk.
THAI returned shortly after 10 O'Clock. MrH.
McDOnaRh was in the kitchen few minutes
later, undressing the little ones, when she
heard q pistol shot and heavy fall.
She rushed into the parlor and found her
husbands dead body lying under the picture
OF the brother he loved so well. she glanced
1T the smoking revolver In his right hand, and
at once tainted:
She lay as one dead until this morning
Negnbors discovered the tragedy and called q
priest and physician. But both were toe
late. Larry had gone TO meet Eddie.
Eddie's death left his widow with two little
girls, about the same age as Larry's.

SWEATING BY ELECTRICITY.

The Clever Rogues of Japan Can Steal
Fifty Cents from an Eagle.
The methods of the Japanese who, for
the purpose of defrauding the Govern
ment, will spend days on the scooping
out of a small silver coin, which he
eventually fills with baser metal, are
much improved on in these progressive
days, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. A
large number of shortweight gold coins
are now in circulation, and the frequency
with which they are met with has led to
Investigations which show that there
has been for some time a systematic
scheme for robbing the Government by
stealing metal from the coins. Some
years ago series of tests were made by
the Government for the purpose of
defining the actual loss by abrasion in
the moving of gold coins. In was found
that So was lost by abrasion every time
81, 900, 900 in gold coin was handled.
Bags containing So, 900 each were lifted
to truck to be removed to another
vault, and the mere lifting of the 200
bags caused the loss stated, and their
transfer from the truck again made a
second similar loss.
This shows how readily gold can be re-
moved from the coins, but this method
is much too slow for the clever rOgues,
who realize the value of scientific
appliances. The work of abrasion is
new done by electricity, after the
manner of the electro plating of gold.
An ordinary galvanic battery and some
cheap acid is procured. The coin is
placed in the fluid, and attached to it
are wires from the poles of the battery,
leading to another piece of metal
prepared to receive, in the form of
plating, the metal to be removed from
the coin. Sufficient gold to form a
plating is quickly transferred, and, as it
is removed uniformly from all parts of
the coin, the liability of Disagreement is
reduced to minimum, the only effect
being to blur the characters slightly.
In this way about 80 cents worth
of gold can be removed from q $40
dollar gold piece without very marked
change in the appearance of the coin.
The eye of an expert, however, detects
the alteration at glance. One of the
employees in the New York SUBJ
treasury is said to have become SO
skilled in this branch Of the work by
years ofexperience, that he can tell by
mere touch with closed eyes whether a
piece is spurious metal or has been
tempered with. 1t is stated that the
sweating of gold by electricity in this
country is practiced almost entirely by
foreign swindlers who have been driven
from their own country for similar
offenseS
