HE FEARED INSANITY.

Suicide OF a Dentist Who Preferred Death
to Losing His Mind-He Cut His Throat
and Stood Before Looking Glass While
Doing so-Paihstic Farewell to His
wife
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-J. Albert KIM
ball, y dentist with an, extensive practice,
committed suicide to-day by cutting his
throat with q razor at his office. Mental
disturbance due to nervous prostration was
manifestly the cause of his act, for mes
sage to his wife, which he wrote before he
killed himself, set forth his belief that he
was becoming insane. From the position
in which his body was found on the floor of
the little room adjoining the main Office, it
is evident that the suicide had stood before
q mirror in order to see what he was doing.
A bottle. of chloroform. was found with
the razor on the floor beside the body.
After drawing the razor across his throat so
as to sever both the jugular vein and carotid
artery, as we'll as lay open the windpipe,
DR.. Kimball fell across basin into which
his life blood flowed, and thence to the
floor.
The first person to see the body was
Henry Holt, young lad employed by DR..
Kimball, who arrived at the dentists Office
about $50. After opening the windows of
the reception roos1 and doing some dusting,
he pulled aside the portiere to go into the
operating room and put that in order. The
corpse of his employer barred his progress,
and he ran for help screaming as he ran.
DR.. Blakeslee, DR.. KimbalPs associate, who
was in the house, hurried to the rooms, and
two physicians were summoned, but Kim
ball was dead.
Mrs Kimbal1, on hearing the office boys
screams, had run to where her husband lay
dead, and her frantic lamentions were au-
dible as the physicians examined the dead
body. Mrs Kimball had arrived from Cox
sack with her three children on Monday
evening, in compliance with a request from
her husband that she should come home
He met her at the station, and acted as
usual that evening and when he arose
yesterday morning. The written message
to her, in which he revealed the cause of
his end, was as follows:
Forgive me, my darling wife and friends.

asylum. prefer death. Please forgive me.
do this rs much for your sake as for mine.
With oceans of love. farwell. ALBERT.
Beneath this, in an unsteady hand, was
this prayer:
"God be pitiful to my children"
This explanation of the suicide was writ
ten on letter heads of the publication, The
Dentist Himself of which Dr. Kimball was
editor and proprietor. DIR. Kimball was
born at Kimball's Hill, near Lancaster. N.
H., in 1843. He was successful at his pro-
fession and had made a considerable for

DEvONSHIRE'S ROMANCE.

Why the Noble Couple Never Welded TIL
Old Age Overlook Them Both.
LONDON, Aug. 16.-The Star, commenting
upon the marriage of the Duke of Devon
shire and the Dowager Duchess of Manches-
ter, says:
The Duke of Devonshire has married his
old love, who is now aged 80 years. The story
Of their early separation is q romance, They
were fondly attached while both were young,
but the habitul Incidence of Lord Harting-
ton prevented a declaration. The lady tried
to infuse energy into him by listening to the
attentions of the late Duke of Manchester.
This had . contrary effect upon Lord Hart
fngton than she intended. She finally be-
came the wife of the Duke Of Manchester
Lord Hartington's long bachelor life was
attributed to the fact that the Duchess of
Manchester, after her marriage, had q
powerful influence over him. He consulted
her before he took a single important politi-
cal step. Their relations were SO well known
that the society papers began to speculate
upon their marriage Immediately after the
death of the Duke of Manchester. The diff
Guilty was that the Duke of Devonshire, who
was strongly opposed to Widows remarrying,
and Lord Harrington. who has strong views
of filial duty, delayed the union during the
lifetime Of his father.

QUAY is NOT HIMSELF.

He Drops Unexpectedly Into Philadelphia,
Where He Has Nothing Much to Say
On His Way to the seashore to Regain
His Health.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 16.-[SpeciaL J.
Entirely unheralded and attended by his
son, Representative Richard Quay, United
States Senator Quay slipped into town early
this morning and quietly registered at the
Continental Hotel That the Senator's
coming was unexpected was evidenced by
the fact that none of his Philadelphia lieu
tenants were on hand to do him reverence,
and father and son were enabled to eat
breakfast in peace and start out for a walk
before the presence in the city of the
Beaver statesman became known. He was
soon recognized, however, and word was
passed along the line, with the result that
when he got back to the hotel quite num-
Der of choice spirits had gathered, ready
and anxious to receive orders.
Senator Quay's first visit was to.the Gus
tom House where he hoped to see Collector
Cooper The latter was out, however, and
missed an opportunity for a chat with the
Junior Senator, who walked from the Gus
tom House around to the Office of the Trac-
tion Company where he stopped for few
minutes to transact some private business.
Then he returned to his hotel where some
few of the faithful were awaiting him. Very
few were admitted to conference with Mr.
Quay and those who did see him did
not extract much consolation from what he
said. 1t fact he said very little to anybody
and seemed to be anxious to avoid touching
on politics.
Senator Quay seemed particularly de-
sirous to avoid being interviewed He de-
clared that be knew of nothing new in the
situation, that he was tired and not par
ticularly well, and wanted to get to the sea-
shore for good rest. About o'clock he
entered hack and was driven to the ferry
on his way to Brigantine Beach, where he
expects to spend week or more. It was evil
dent from his exceedingly nervous manner
that Senator Quay is far from being in good
health. 1t was stated that he had recently
been considerably troubled with vertigo,
which explained his nervousness He said
that rest would put him in good shape,
and that he proposed to have 1t.
Efforts were made to get him to talk
about State and National politics, but he
declined to answer any questions To his
trusted lieutenants he gave few instruc-
tions touching Some Of the legislative fights,
but even to themhe was unusually reserved,
and ''the old man is not himself BY any
means" was all that could be gotten ont of
the men who were honored by an interview
with him.

CHOLERA PATIENTS KILLED.

A Frightful wind-Storm Visits the Afflicted
City OF Mini Novgorod.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 16.-The horrors
of frightful storm have been added to the
misery and suffering caused by the cholera
at Mini Novgorod. The cholera hospital
was full of patients, many Of them in q
dying condition. As they heard the roar of
the hurricane some of them died from
fright. The terrible noise of the approach
ing storm was soon followed by the storm
itself, which crushed in a large part of the
cholera hospital like an egg shell, hurling
the beds and wooden walls into mass of
ruin. From the debris came the shrieks and
groans of the victims, a number of whom
died while the work Of rescue was going on.
Other buildings were also crushed, and
the tents of the traders who had remained
Notwithstanding the cholera were scattered,
with their contents, in all directions The
wretched people of Novgorod have had all
the courage driven out of them by this
latest visitation, and many of the super
stitious declared that the Almighty had de-
termined to destroy the city on account of
the wickedness of the people.

Physician Pulls Him Through.
Blair Brown, of Hollidaysburg, made an
Intellectual attempt at suicide in this city
yesterday. Rough on rats was the route
selected, but Mr.. Brown fell by the way
side. A protracted spree is thought to
have been the cause of the attempt
Brown is the son of a well-to-do family
at Hollidaysburg and has wife and chill
dren Of his own. On Monday morning he
came to the city and spent the day running
around among acquaintances and having q
good time. Yesterday morning his wife
came down after him, bringing with her the
baby, child of nine months Browns
father had sent him a check for $50 with
which to make some purchases. The check
was received and Brown had expended con-
siderable of it before his wife arrived.
When she reached the city at noon she
met her husband on Smithdeld street and
he took the child, inviting her to take din
ner. They went to restaurant on Wylie
avenue and ordered dinner. Soon after
they sat down Brown jumped up and ex-
claimed: "Mary, I'm going to do as saidp'
At the same time he drew q package from
his pocket and walked into the rear yard.
Mrs. Brown called after him not to be
foolish, and finally called waiter to follow
him. When the waiter reached the yard
Brown was standing eating greedily from
full box of rough on rats. The waiter
sprang forward and struck the box from his
hand, receiving blow from Browns fist
for his pains
Officer Smith was called in at this juno
ture, and arrested Brown just as he was en-
deavoring to recover the box of poison. The
patrol wagon was summoned, and Brown
was taken to Central station. The poison
and the whisky he had taken soon rendered
him unconscious Dr. Meyer ascertained
the amount of poison taken, and admin
istered an antidote.
Mrs. Brown was given the S18 found on
Browns person when arrested, and she
took the next train for home, leaving him
locked up on a charge of drunkenness.
When seen at the station last night the
prisoner had recovered from his stupor.
His clothing was covered with the poison,
but he declared he had taken none of it,
though admitting he had been carving it
around with him for several days. That he
had any reason to suicide he positively de-
MED, saying his relations with his wife
were Of the most affectionate charater, and
be was deeply concerned about her absence.
Brown expects another remittance from his
father to-day to pay his fine.
