QUITE A ROMANCE
And Considerable Mystery Connected
with Frank Mezlck's Suicide.

with Frank Mezlek's Suicide.
CHICAGO, October 9.-There is some
little romance and considerable mystery
connected with the death OF Frank
MeZick, the young man who committed
suicide by taking morphine Saturday
afternoon while in the company Of Mrs.
Hathaway. The woman in the case is
not quite 20 years old and is the wife Of
wealthy contractor in Cleveland.
She Quarreled with her hus-
band and came to Chicago two
weeks ago. She says she has been
stopping at the Wellington Hotel for
the past week under an assumed name,
but refuses 70 give the name under
which she registered. 1t appears that
MeZiCk and the woman had been to-
gether during the afternoon, and the
woman claims that he took poison.
Mrs. Hathaway says she was very much
frightened and wanted to call physi-
clan, but Mezick insisted upon her go
ing with him in cab to the house Of
Mrs. Eta Lawrence, 135 Twentieth
street. The couple arriving there,
Mrs. Hathaway explained that her
companion was sick and requested that
they be given q room. Being acquaint-
ed with MeZlck Mrs. Lawrence readily
gave him a room. Mrs. Lawrence as
sisted Mrs. Hathaway In removing Me-
Zick's coat and he lay down on the bed.
Mrs. Lawrence left the room and went
down stairs. In about five minutes
Mrs. Hathaway ran down stairs and
told Mrs. Lawrence that Mezick had
taken morphine.
Mrs. Lawrence refused to allow her
to leave the house and sent for a physi-
clan, and the two women went together
20 Mezick's room. He was unconscious,
and upon the arrival OF the physician
was past aid. Mrs. Hathaway then
went for Dr. Tallman, but upon his ar
rival the police were notified and MeZick
was removed to the Mercy Hospital,
where he died at 4 o'clock this morn
ing.
Lieutenant Healy Of the Cottage
Grove avenue station at once took Mrs.
Hathaway into custody to await the
action of the Coroner'S jury and to be
used as a witness before that body.
Mrs. Aatha way was seen at the Cot
tage Grove avenue station this after
noon, but was rather reticent and de-
clined to talk freely about the matter.
She is rather a prepOssesslng blonde OF
medium height.
81 will be 20 years old in December" "
she said, "and 1 have been married a
little over three years. / have a baby
girl two years Of age. My husband is
a contractor in Cleveland, o. 1 could
not get along with him aud left him a
few weeks ago. have been stopping
at the Wellington hotel for week and
registered under my maiden name"
Mezick's parents are highly respected
in Baltimore, where they reside, and
his father IS said to be one OF the
wealthiest and influential citizens OF
that city. The suicides father was
telegraphed for, and he is now on his
way TO this city.

YHE ANTI-SNAPPERS.
They VIII Go Ahead and support an In
dependent Ticket

dependent Tteket.
New YORK, October 2.-The commit
tee appointed by the anti-Snapper's or
ganization for the purpose Of advising
with the Democratic National Commit
tee on the subject OF independent local
nominations, held q meeting at their
Headquarters here tonight. Most or
the members were present and 1t was
decided unanimously TO go ahead with
their original intention Of supporting
an independent ticket.
The following announcement was
made after the meeting by Chairman
Andrew D. Parker:
'The committee tonight appointed a
subcommittee, consisting Of myself,
Isaac II. Klein and j. j. Quinlan, for
the purpose of comforting with other
Democratic organizations on the lines
indicated by the resolutions previously
passed by the organization.
Much has been said about the opposi-
tion which the idea of third ticket has
been met by the National Committee. /
wish to state right here, and the MEM
bers of the Committee will back
up, to say that not a word
of Justice or protest was raised at the
conference held by this committee with
the gentlemen Of the National Commit
tee who met US, viz, Messrs Har-
rity, Dickinson, Smalley, and Quincy,
save from one member. The impress
sion has gained circulation that the idea
OF a third ticket was violently opposed,
vet only one out of the four gentlemen
said word in opposition. wish fur
ther to speak of the attitude OF Ex-
Mayor Grace. Not earlier than
last Friday night Mr.. Grace gave
us positive assurance that the nomna-
tion OF a third ticket was the only
proper and wise step to take"
Mr.. Parker's statements were yigor-
ously sustained by Messrs. Quinlan,
James S. Levin, Judge Jeroloman and
others who were present.
In reply to interrogations
Mr.. Parker said Among
the organizations with whom we will
confer will be the County Democracy
and the German-American Cleveland
and Stevenson Union. We are well
aware that the latter organization by
reason OF their constitution cannot
act with us in a body, but we
do not propose to treat with
them as a body. We believe. however,
that they are favoraply disposed toward
us and will be our active allies. As for
any reported opposition In their
ranks to the third party idea /
have heard OF none. On the contrary,
the head Of the organization, Mr.. Os-
wald Ottendorfer, has stated distinctly
that he was not prepared TO state his
position as yet, and men OF no less I'm
portance in the organization than Mr..
Henry Willard and Mr.. Jackson ).
Schultze, have declared themselves un-
equivocally in favor Of an independent
ticket"

balmed body of man upright in a
glass-faced metallic coffin, holding a

time of her husbands deatk, and made
the startling announcement that she
had made solemn compact with her
husband before his death, agreeing
that they would both enter oblivion at
as near the same time as could be easi-

BRIoE AND GORMAN
Agree That New York and Indiana VIII
Give Large Democratic MaJOrities

Give Large Democratic maJoritles
New YORK, October 2.-Senator Cor
man, Senator Brice and other exper-
fenced Democratic leaders at National
headquarters are agreed that New
York will give Cleveland large major
ity in November.
They will not even acknowledge that
the margin will be small. Senator Cor
man is hopeful in this direction with a
bedrock basis for his faith. He said
to-day:
U"The Democrats will not cease their
endeavors to secure votes until election
day is over, but the Democrats have
New York State carried now, and New
York is the great battle ground. Moth
ing can change the New York situation.
In 1854 we did see daylight until Burch-
ard came on the scene. In 1888 we
were at sea over the effect OF the excise
laws. But this year it is clear sailing.
II man is a Democrat this year he
will prove it by voting the ticket That
is the situation, and there are many
Northern States that are considered
doubtiully Republican because OF this
fact"
"The State of Indiana" said Senator
Brice, "has been Democratic in two
National elections out of the four that
have been held since 1876. Tilden car
ried the State that year. Cleveland
carried it in 1894. In 1880 1t was
bought with an enormous expenditure
of money by the Republicans and the
direction of Dorsey. In 1888 Harrison
carried 1t by q narrow margin by the
Dudley blocks-oi-five plan Of using
money. There has been registra-
tion and Australian system passed
In Indiana by Democratic legislature
within two years, by which 1t is made
impossible to carry the state by the use
of money. The Democrats carried a
state ticket last fall by nearly 10000.
Five million dollars would not buy its
voters to stultify themselves this year,
II majority Of them are Democrats.
Five hundred thousand was spent in the
state In 1883. / believe that the DEM
ocrats outnumber the Republicans in
Indiana by 10000 to 10000"

the hope Of selfish gain than by desire
for triumph Of the Democratic party. The

between a few who are seeking to send

COLUMBUS, O., October 2.-Rev.
Washington GLADDEN. this evening
preached at the First Congressi onal
church on the revival of Knownothing-
ism. He denounced all secret organizs-
rions made for political purposes as un-
American, declared it was opposed to
the constitution TO try to prevent those
of a certain religion from holding office,
and said Catholics had a right to be in
dignant at this movement, since many
thousands OF them poured out their
blood upon the nations battlefelds.
He prefaced this by sayiug that he was
as far from being a Catholic as it Is pos
slble for one who holds to the principles
of Christianity to be, and said the Cath
olIc church under Leo, XII is quite dit
ferent from what it was under earlier
Popes. The anti-Catholic movement
here is very strong.
