CINCINNATI. o., March 2.-The sui
eide of Alice Sellew Ireland in her bed
room in all elegant home or Walnut
hills today was sensational in the eX-
treme. She was bride of six weeks.
Her family was one of the wealthiest
and most highly respected in the city.
The first intimation her husband had Of
suicidal intent was yesterday afternoon
when Mrs. Donham, a neighbor, came
hurriedly down to The city and told her
husband that she had received note
from Mrs. Ireland, with some clothing,
telling her she did not need them any
more. Mr.. Donham sought Mr.lreland,
and they went Immediately to the
house. 1t was locked securely. They
broke in and found Mrs. Ireland's room
locked. Breaking in. they found her
unconscious on the bed, and the gas
turned on. When she was resuscitated
she upbraided them. saying she would
do it all over again. Mr.. and Mrs. Don
ham remained all night. and Mrs. Ire
land promised to make no other attempt
on her life. When breakfast was an
nounced this morning she said she
would join them soon. While at break
fast pistol shot was heard. Mr.. Ire
land rushed to her room and found her
in bed, where she had evidently hoped
to muffie the sound. She was uncOn-
scious and died in few minutes. Her
letters spoke Of mistreatment by her
mother, but it is apparent there was all
occult mental disorder, not Known even
to her husband. Their married life was
ideally happy. The dead woman's
mother gives clue to the form of de-
rangement by saying that her daughter
was phenomenal spendthrift and that
recently she, the mother, had paid
note of $500 which had been negotiated
by Mrs. Ireland. The mother had not
told her daughter that she had taken
care of the forged paper. Dread of ex-
posure is supposed TO have driven her
to desperation.

BOARD OF TRADE.

AT the monthly meeting of the
Board of Trade last Monday even
ing George H. Cross spoke about the
condition of our roads.
Mr.. Cross began his remarks by
saying that both the outgoing and
incoming governors had touched
upon the road question in their mes
sages and recommended that the
legislature take some action upon
this matter. Our Board of Trade
were especially interested in the
question locally. As a taxpayer he
wanted TO protest against the con-
tinual expense of patching up our
town and village roads. The same
amount of money could be expended
In permanent roads and the expense
would be cheaper in the end. He
said that quite a number of towns
had purchased steam roller and
stone crusher and that Brattleboro,
Montpelier, St. Albans, Rutland and
burlington are making macadamiz-
ed roads. The process of macada-
m'zlnS is a comparatively new one
and when the material used is packed
and thoroughly rolled makes a sur
face for the roads that will last a
long time. The expense of such a
road varies according to location. 1t
would cost from $4,000 to $4,000 to
macadamize Eastern avenue the en-
tire length. Such a road would last
for years and give perfect service.
Mr.. Cross presented some figures
on this subject and more were given
by George P. Moore. The latter will
give the substance of his remarks in
the CALEDoNIAN next week.

ACADEMY NOTES.

Walter Jones, Academy, '94, wit
messed the Dartmouth-W Williams foot
ballgame Saturday. He came up on
the evening train and remained in
town over Sunday.
The Seminary campus at Mont
pelier, Monday afternoon, was the
scene of one of the hardest fought
foot ball games ever played between
preparatory schools. St. J. A. with
straight Academy team, played V.
NJ. S. aided by Newton late of
Wesleyan College, who was in the
season of '92 considered the third
best guard in the country, and
Mosley captain of the Norwich Uni
versity team The Academy team
looked like infants when they lined
up against the Seminary, but what
they lacked in size, they made up in
other qualities. Nearly all the game
was played within thirty yards of
the center line, and only three times
during the game did it look as
though either side would score. Once
when V. M. S. had pushed the ball
within five yards of their goal but
were prevented from scoring by a
beautiful kick by Grain, which sent
the ball back to the center of the
field, and twice when st. J. A. made
rapid and long gains around the
ends. Bagley played magni6cently
though he was so severely injured
early in the game that he could
scarcely see or speak during the rest
of the first half. Goss playing
against Newton held his man like a
solid rack. The principal gains for
V. M. S. were made by Whitehill,
Alexander and Newton.
The foot ball benefit at Acad-
emy hall Friday evening proved
one of the pleasantest affairs of the
season socially, while a number of
dollars were added to the proper side
of the treasurer's account A nice
programme was carried out as fol-
lows: Song by the glee club; solo by
Francis Perry; solo by David Harri-
man; scene, "Courtship under Diff
culties;" duet by Miss Abbott and Mr..
Hartman; scene from "The Rivals"
song, SOLDIERS Chorus" by the glee
club.
