A SUICIDE AT NIAGARA.
wealthy Buffalo woman browns
Herself.
Special to THE woRLD.l


NIAGARA FALLS, September %.
Mrs. Dell Rathbun, of Buffalo, conf
mitted suicide at Cedar Island, on the
Canadian side, shortly after six o'clock
this mormino. She was on her way
from Chicago. She left the train when
it stopped to allow passengers view
Of the cataract, and passed down the
steep incline tothe river. Magistrate
A. J. Hill. of Niagara Falls, the only
one that saw her, watched her until
she had passed from view among the
trees. While Mr.. Hill wondered at the
precipitate descent, he thought it bodied
no harm, and paid but little attention
to her.
About noon it was reported that the
body of woman had been seen float
ing down the river toward the falls,
and two policemen Of the Queen Vic
toria Park fastened to the spot. There
the body was seen, near the entrance
of the race-way which supplies the
water works, and was recovered before
it passed over the Horse Shoe Falls,
The woman had a profusion Of dia-
monds on her person and sum of
money. Thinking from the dispatches
of this morning, that the woman was
the missing Mrs. Rathbun, the Cana
dian authorities communicated with
Buffalo, and tonight Frank Rathbun,
a brother-in-law, arrived. He recog-
nized the body as that Of Mrs. Rath-
bun. When asked how he accounted
for her suicide, he said nervousness
was nc. doubt he cause. I

WHAT SHALL Be DONE.
THE PICTURE FRAME FACTORY NAY
HAVE TO CHANGE ITS
LOCATION.



Two weeks ago THE WOMB publish
ed a statement that b. F. Hunt, a
manufactures Of picture frames at
Baltimore, had selected ground in this
city and concluded to remove his fac
tory from Baltimore. Later when ii
was desired to give more details, our
reporter was told that the matter was
in statss quo, and that that there was
no additional facts TO be given out just
at present. Yesterday Mr.. A. +.
Kuebler, Mr. Hunts partner, arrived
in this city for the purpose Of looking
over the ground and stirring things up
a little. "A reporter Of The WORLD
had a pleasant little chat with him
this morning in regard to his 'tuture
plans. 1--WE would be willing " go
right at work ON our plant" said Mr..
Kuebler, .sand the quicker the better,
for the lease on the building we are
using in Baltimore expires in October.
There seems, however, to be but one
thing that stands in the why Of our
beginning immediate operations, and
that is that we can get 40 promise
from the city as to when they will ex-
tend their water mains out through
the Martinsburg Mining, Manufacture
ing and Improvement Co. STAND. You
can easily see what ridiculous posi-
ton it would put us in if we built our
factory out there for immediate use
and then find that there was no
water supply forthcoming. We must
have water and cannot think Of going
ahead without some reliable assurance
that it will be provided
Mr.. Kuebler was then asked as to
what his opinionof Martinsburg is as q
point for manufacturing.
"Why it is positively the bestplade
that could be found. Mr.. Hunt aud
myself have looked over the country
pretty generally for q location and this
was by far the best one we could SCI
lect.
Upon investigation, we ascertained
that poplar and other lumber used by
us, could be procured for one-third less
here than in Baltimore. Then again,
labor is cheaper and living cheaper.
AS for railroad facilities, they are
equally as good as in Baltimore. There
are now employed in our establish
ment from twenty to twenty-five hands.
but with increased room and improved
machinery, such as we proposed put
ting in here, we would have use for a
good many more. OF course, we would
have to bring much Of our skilled
labor from outside, but independent Of
this we would be enabled to give work
to certain number Of local hands. <
Mr.. Kuebler regretted very much
that he cannot settle down here at
once, and he fears that he may yet be
compelled to change his location.
The citizens Of Martinsburg ought
notlet to important enterpriseslike this
deliberately slip through their fingers.

EsTEE FOR THE CABINET.

WASHINGTON, September, %. Pres
ident Harrison has practically decided
to give California a placein his cabinet.
The gentleman to whom will fall viii
probably be Mr.. NJ. NJ. Estee, Of San
Francisco. Mr.. Estee was the chair
man Of the Chicago convention which
nominated Gen. Harrison for the Pres
idency. He was subsequently one Of
the delegates ON the part Of the United
States at the Pan-American Congress.
He is a lawyer Of prominence, and in
some respects the foremost Repnb-
lican on the Pacific coast. The Pres
ident's conclusion in thismatter will be
gratifying intelligence to the California
people. Not since the war has this
State been represented in the Cabinet.
