Suicide at Seattle,

SEATTLE, March 3l.-Geo. w.
Nash, formerly retail grocer, COM
mi,ted suicide yesterday afternoon
by hanging himself with window
cord. He has acted strangely for
the last six months. His wife found
at different times cords about the
house all of which were tied in a
hangman's manner. Yesterday
afternoon he went out of doors; IF
teen minutes later she found him
hanging in an Clubhouse. The cord
was so long he could stand on the
floor. In order to complete the work
he had drawn his legs up close to his
body. Business reverses, despond-
ency, and weak mind are given as
the cause. He left paper dated
Maruh IA, in which the admiuistra-
tors of the estate are named. He
leaves wife and two small children
and property to considerable value,
but heavily mortgaged.

Into Her Body.

Into Her BODY.
CLEVELAND, March 31.-A tall
young man rang the door bell at the
residence of Herbert Fitch, No, 20
Jennings avenue, about ! O'Clock
yesterday afternoon, and Mrs. Fitch
came to the door. The man grabbed
her by the hand, and exclaimed;
why, Jennie p "Why, Frank, is
that you?" returned Mrs. Fitch,
with a pleased expression. "Oh,
you kno me, Jennie2 Well, you
will be sure now" Then, dropping
her hand, the man drew a revolver
and fired, the bullet passing clear
through Mrs. Fitch's breast and
coming out at the back. The
wounded wcman screamed and
turned to run, when he fir, d three
more shots at her, all three taking
effect In her back, and she fell to the
floor. When the neighbOrs rushed
in they found the fellow cOolly
reloading his revolver. Some one
suggested that doctor be sent for,
'There is no use, said he; "I have
done my work too c. implicitly fol
that. l came here from Fort Wayne
this morning to kill her. that is all !
came for. Ii had found her son
anywhere around l would have
killed him a,so." To the police he
said he was Frank r. DIaeger, of
Fort Wayne, Ind,, and gave his age
as 20. When asked why he had
shot the woman, he said: "She
and her cursed son have had me
under spell for five years and i
have just got free. came here to
kill her and l don't feel sorry. |
have wanted to do this for some
time aud j am glad the thing is
over.n In statement which he
had prepared, Draeger says that Mrs.
Fitch and her sop have had strange
influence over him and he thinks
they hypnotized him. The spell
was over him for five years and II
Just lett him last Saturday. Draeger
is undoubtedly insane. Mrs. Fitch,
who is still alive, but gradually
sinking, is Ss years of age. Her
husband Is conductor on the Valley
railway and her son is employed on
the same line. Her brother Is the
husband of Draeger's sister. DraegeI
hung around the neighborhood OF
the Fitch residence all the forenoon
and got two boys to inquire at
various houses until he found the
right one. A dispatch from Fort
Wayne says that Draeger has acted
queerly for some time.

MAIL SUBSIDY ACT.
its Repeal Recommended by the
House Committee.

WAsHINGToN, March 31.-Enloe
submitted to the house the report OF
the committee on the merchant
marine, recommending the repeal of
the mail subsidy act. 1t dissents
from the policy of subsidies, on the
ground that it is robbery, and says
If the principle of subsidy is right,
it should apply to all; that the
common planter has as much
right as the ship-owner. The
minority argues in favor of the re-
tention of the law, based upon fig
ures showing the impetus gwen to
ship-building under the new regime.
Comment is made upon the refusal
of the majority to hear the testi
mOny or investigate the workings OF
the act. 1t is maintained that had
we pursued in the past the subsidy
policy we would hold the supremacy
on the high seas in the merchant
marine, instead of paying princi-
pally to England during the last
thirty years an enormous tribute OF
over three billion dollars for tran
sporting goods.
