BROOKLYN, \. V, July .l7.-Fif-
teen-year-Old August Ludwig, of
No. ~ Woodruff street, committed
suicide by hanging. His mother
is the ianitreSs of the house and
has had a hard struggle with power
ty. August had been a great help
to her, and he had employment up
to a short time ago, when he was
discharged on account of dull bust
ness. Then he went in search of
work. 1t was the same story
everywhere he went. Each day
he returned home more and more
disheartened.
He got up bright and early yes
terday morning and told his
mother he felt that he would get
employment. He returned about
s o'clock. He had found no work.
Big tears wereGin his eyes. His
mother tried to cheer him up, but
it was to no purpose. He COM
planned of headache and went to
his bedroom. Mrs. Ludwig busted
herself with her household duties
until about quarter to eleven
o'clock, when she went to Augustus
room. The door was fastened, and
receiving no answer to her knock
she forced it open. The boy was
hanging by a piece of rope not
quite long enough to suspend
the body at full length.
He had evidently crouch9d and
slowly strangled. Mrs. Ludwig
cut the rope and tried to resusci-
tate him, but finding this impOs-
sible called for help. A doctor
who came in pronounced the lad
dead. The mother was Frustrated
by the tragedy, and said between
her sobs that she believed the
lads inability to get work made
him temporarily insane.

A HORSE KILLED.
And An other Will Die From the
Effects of Fast Driving.

Messrs. Groom. Cupples, Adams,
Wellman and Murphy, employed
at the Express office as operators of
the Mergenthaler linotype, hired
the fine black team of Fry Bros.
yesterday morning, agreeing to re-
turn at noon, and telling the livery
men that they were going to drive
out to the missions. When the
noon hour came, the men did not
return and some uneasiness was
felt by the owners of the horses.
At o'clock last evening they
We're seen driving up Commerce
street at very lively gait, and
when they reached the corner
of Commerce and Alamo streets,
the horses, overcome by the heat,
fell to the ground. A large crowd
of citizens repaired to the scene in
few moments, and much excite
ment was occasiOned. Not long
after that, one of the animals died,
and the other is in a critical con-
dition, and will probably die in a
few hours.
The matter was reported to the
city detectives, and the men will
undoubtedly be arrested for cruelty
to animals, for which heavy fines
are frequently imposed.
1t is said that the men drove the
team to the Third mission, Gov
eminent hill, and other places,
some distance from the city, prop
er, and that they had not been
given a bit to eat, nor drop of
water to drink. 1t has also been
said that the young men, though
not able to water the horses, pro-
vided themselves with all the
drinks necessary. The team is
valued at 5000.

Pennsylvania German Day.

Mt. GRETNA, Pa, July l7.-Penn-
sylvsnia German Day has been ar
ranged for today, under the di-
rection of the Pennsylvania Ger
man society, and has attracted
considerable interest in other
states. Frederick Starr, the distin-
guished anthropologist of the Chi
cago University, will devote his
time at Mt Gretna this season to a
through study and investigation Of
the PennsylVania-German type and
its notifications. 1t will be a novel
introduction, yet very important
from a scientific point Of view. The
climate and environment of North
America, together with other
present conditions, have changed
the physical characteristics of
our people considerably, and to
make a certain analysis on this
subject it is necessary that a care
full study should be made of a
class of people who have retained
all their European blood, and the
best example presented is the pure
blooded German descendant of
those early arrivals from Palati-
nate and other parts of Germany.
Today DIR. Starr will lecture on the
subject.
