Mrs Brown ran to her husband, ex-
citedly told him that Armstrong had
committed suicide, and tainted. A Sixth
district policeman was called in and he
cut down the lifeless body. No note of
farewell to friends OF explanation was
left by Armstrong, Empty pockets and
no money seemed to furnish motive
for the act.
He had been at the lodging house for
about two months. In his room card
was found on which the name "Allen
NJ. Armstrong, Cooch's Bridge, Della

package of cigarettes and number OF
blanks from a local business college. II
was supposed that he was student at
such an institution. Armstrong had a
room mate named Herman Cruel who
left the city last Saturday for two
weeks vacation.
That Armstrong contemplated suicide,
the police say, is shown by the fact that
he used brand new piece of cotton
rope which he secured somewhere out.

performers, conveys but faint idea,
for among them are operate, dramatic,
tragic, pantomlme, scenic, classic, terpsl-
chorehn and other accomplished artists,
actors, dancers and experts. The spec
tacle Of Columbus alone embracing
nearly every phase Of histrionic art
from comedy to tragedy, and with the
most magnificent ballet ever devised,
requiring 300 dancing girls. Then there
are menageries Of trained and wild
beasts, three circus rings, elevated
stages, racing track, one monster stage
400 feet long, enormous tents, at least
two acres of elegant scenery, and-well
it must be seen, il cannot be described.

NEW CASTLE NEWS NOTES.
At the coroner's inquest yesterday
afternoon, the body of the man found
drowned here yesterday was thought by
cards found in his pocket to be John V.
Jefferis of Camden, N. j. The jury
rendered verdict Of accidental drown
ing. Later it was learned that the body
was that of Edward Ludy, aged %
years, of Camden, the unfortunate ex'
cursionist who fell overheard from the
steamer Thomas Morgan, last Saturday
night. Ludy boarded with Jetferis in
Camden, which accounted for him hav
ing the cards in his pocket.
A thorough examination of the sani
tary condition of the Jail will be made
soon, on account of the discovery OF the
sunken condition Of the sewer. There
are no bad odors at present, but Jai
Physician Black thinks that if the defec
is not remedied it will injure the healtl
of the prisoners.
