HANGING FROM THE RAFTERS.
How Farmer Deputy at Last Found
His Missing Wife.

A Strange Suicide That Has Caused Great
Excitement Around Smiths Chapel, in
Sussex County--A woman's Desperate
Deed.
specia! Correspondence OF Every Evening.
MILFORD, Oct. 0,-The neighborhood OF
Smiths Chapel, in Sussex county, about
seven miles from here. is in fever of ex-
element over tho suicide of Mrs. Deputy,
wife of John H. Deputy, wel-lnown
farmer of that section, Saturday night.
Mrs. Deputy was in the field near her
home with her husband and little child
late Saturday afternoon, when she left to
10 get supper for the family. This was
the last seen of her alive. About shutdown
Mr.. Deputy repaired to the house for
supper, when he learned that his wife was
missing. Diligent search failed to dis
cover her whereabouts.
Nothing was seen or heard from her
until yesterday morning when, after Il
night spent in agony and suspense, Mr..
Deputy went to an old smokehouse. where
the horrible sight of the dead body of his
wife suspended from rafter met his gaze.
Upon examination she was found stiff and
cold and had every appearance of having
been dead for hours. The supposition is
that she put an end to her existence Satur-
day evening.
1t is said that several years ago Mr.. and
Mrs. Deputy had a difference and separ-
ated for several months. For the lastfe
years, however, they have apparently
lived happily together. No cause is known
for the suicidal act.

MIR. M4ssEY,s REPORT.

Preparing to Wind Up the Business Of the
Worlds Fair Council of Administration.
Chicago lnter-oGean.
Mr.. Massey, of the council of admin
istration, yesterday began areport which
will be presented to the national COM
mission and board of directors. In brief,
the report will cover the work done by
the council. 1t will also revert to the
protocol under which the council was
organized, which provides for its con-
tinuing in existence until the return of
exhibits.
1t is the opinion of Mr.. Massey and
his colleagues that the affairs of the Ex-
position after October Both may best be
administered by a new organization.
Hence in the report will be inserted
paragraph advising the dissolution of
the council at i o'clock on the evening
of October 30th.
In taking this action Mr.. Massey is
certain to meet the approval of the di.
rectory, That body at its special meet
ing held Monday evening appointed a
committee charged with the duty of
reorganization. The members are
Director-General Davis, President Higin.
botham, Director of Works Burnham and
Directors Walker and Stone. This com
mittee is already at work, and has prac-
tically decided upon what should be
done.
As President Higinbothom hopes to
be able to resign November LIST, and as
both Mr.. Massey and General St. Clair
are anxious to turn their attention to
their private affairs, the dissolution of
the Council of Administration at the
day and hour mentioned is not expected
to meet opposition.

Rev. Father Birmingham of Elkton
Receives Horse and Carriage From
His Former PnriShiOners of st. Pauis.
81 ecial Correspondence Of Gazette aud Journal
ELKToN, Mp, oct. 9.-Father Berming-
ham was made yesterday the happy re-
clplent OF a most substantial present by
his former parishioners of st. Paul's
parish, Fourth and jackson streets, VIII
mington. Ten of the prominent members
OF st. PauIs parish called on the reverend
gentleman in Elkton, in his new field OF
labors and presented him with Il valuable
horse and carriage as u token of the great
esteem he is held among them. The horse
and carriage cost over $500, collected from
the people of the parish. Father Berming-
ham was most agreeably surprised, and
responded in neat little speech. After
thanking them for their generous gift he
declared that the greatest pleasure for him
OH earth is the memory of the many pleas
ant years he spent laboring among the
people of st. Paul's.
The reverend father only arrived home
early yesterday morning from Chicago
where he was visiting the Worlds Fair
for few days. The reverend gentleman
is in ecstasy over the Worlds Fair display
and allows it is more valuable and instruc-
tive than years of hard study from his
tOrical WORKS. Father Birmingham met
many Wilmingtonians on the Fair
grounds, among them DIR. Fahey, Thomas
4. Lully, Michael Newell and Patrick
tahey. Hon. George V. Massey of Dover
one Of the Worlds Fair Commissioners,
was more than kind to the reverend
gentleman and offered him every hospi-
talty,
