counter and restaurant in the city. His
plans somehow miScarri led, but he did not
appear worried about 1t and was blithe
anI gay as usual with his companions.
Yesterday friend Of his, j. ID. Sullivan,
saw him walking about the yard of

and family. He acted Queerly and was
very much abstracied. Last night when
his room mate, w. j. Roby, also brake
man. came in off his trip, he found the
body OF Claiborne lying by dresser in
front of a mirror, dead. His hand clasped
his open razor and his jugular vein had
been severed. The floor was covered with
mass of clOtted blood and the body was
cold. He must have been dead several
hours. Mrs. Mott says he went to his
room about three o'clock and she
heard no more from him. He had asked
barber during the day how much NOR

going TO kill himself.
He was about "A years of age, small, but
good looking. His parents reside IN

letter in deceaSed'S coat addressed TO him,
(ROby), dated Dec. :, which went on To
state that he wished him TO pay some
small debt for him; asked him not TO tell
! his mother how he died. but tell her he
died natural death; said he wanted
to see him first, bat cou not
wait till he came in; was sorry for
what he had to do, but he was kicked and
cuffed about as long as he could stand it !;
he said he did this on account of what
Roby told him Monday. Roby said Clai-
borne had borrowed money from Mrs.
Mott and Mrs. Dunn, and he told him he
ought not to do so, as he had been paid
off and ought to return the money. He
also told him it was wrong to
gamble and he should quit it,
He asked Roby to take his body
home to his father and tell him he
killed himself because he could not quit
gambling. Roby testified, also, that he
had had several talks with deceased about
gambling and had counSeled him to stop.
Justice Heron rendered verdict of
suicide. The body will be taken to Spring

Elsie Leslie in the "Frincs and Pauper. F"
The Matinee on.
Elsie Leslie made her bow to the Savan-
nah theater-goers last night in THE Prince
and Pauper.n The audience filed the CEN
ter of the theater. 1t appreciated Miss Les
lies acting, and that Of Mr.. Herbert Archer
and Mr.. Thomas Mceabe. demonstrated by
the applause. q ef1Iu -l lie taf.ffr.
Miss Leslie had'been ssen,by good many
In the audience as Lathe Lord Fauntle-
roy" and they we're rather disappointed
that in THE Prince and Pauper" she did
not appear to the same advantage. The
play is different for one thing, and Miss
other. She was enthusiastically received,
however. and was very charming prince
and equally as charming pauper.
The scene In which Mr.. Archer and Miss
Leslie appear TO the best advantage is in
the second act, where Mr.. Archer. as
Miles Hendon," a poor soldier, rescues
the prince in the guise Of pauper from
the hands Of gang Of vaga-
bonds, and humors him as a
youthful liking Edward" Mr.. Archer is an
excellent actor and strong support to Miss
Leslie, and Mr.. Thomas MeCabe. who was
with the Ford Dramatic Association during
the season Of 1887, was given a warm recep-
ton as Lord Seymour He Is a sterling
actor and gentleman Of much popularity,
adding greatly to the strength Of the com-
pany. The others of the support are good.
Owing to the fact that Miss Leslie plays
matinees on Saturdays no matinee will be
given to-day. The fact of Manager john
son not being aware of this rule Of Miss
Leslie's, IS announced from the stage last
night, and her declining to appear at a
matinee, will cause Mr.. Falk much embar-
rassLlent, as he had invited some 400 school
children to attend the matinee advertised
upon complimentary tickets. However,
Mr.. Johnson promises Mr.. Falk's school
children the privilege Of selecting some
other matinee in the near future, list of
which he will publish IN few days.
