Catholic Church, of Hastings, Neb., over tn
transfer of Rev. Father English, the pastor TO

vate secretary, DR.. Pepi, and the representative

SUED FOR $4,000.
The Times" Defendant in a Libel Suit
Brought by Walter Griffith.

Walter S. Grirnth yesterday entered suit for
libel against THE TIMES, claiming s5O,OOO dam
ages
The petition alleges that Griffith previous to
August 25 last, was the proprietor of boarding
house, and carried on the business with great
credit, and profit to himself; that 70 inIure his
credit and TO destroy his profits from his board
ng-house THE TINES published charges of crirni-
nal misconduct on his part and by reason
thereof he has been damaged to the extent of
$4,000 The impression is given that Griffith
expected 10 make large portion of the $4,000
during the Pythian encampment and has been
disappointed in the number who have sought
lodging with him.
AS part of the complaint is given copy of the
article in THE TINES of last Saturday that Grif-
fifth was roughly handled at the Baltimore and
Ohio depot by Knights who were indignant at
finding him selling the secrets of the order The
article said that he was thrashed and expelled
from Syracusian Lodge, X. of p, of this city,
for sending an improper letter to a young lady.

MISS WALTERS SUICIDE.
Her Mothers III Health Caused McIan-

cholia. Which Led Her TO End Her Life.
The suicide of Miss Elizabeth Walter, an ac-
count of which was published in THE TINES yes
terday, was later investigated by Coroner Ham
NETT, who decided that an inquest was unneces-
sary.
Miss Walter resided with her uncle at No 50
Defrees street, and her home and surroundings
were as pleasant as those of most girls who have
to work for their living
She returne ed from two weeks visit TO her
parents at BarneSville, Montgomery county,
Md. ON Friday last, when she seemed to be much
cast down on account of the i'll health OF her
mother. On Saturday and Sunday she appeared
a little more cheerful, and on Monday morning
went as usual TO Kann & Co 5 store, where she
employed.
During the day she told young lady friend,
who is employed in the same store, that she had
two bottles of laudanum in her trunk and that
she had notion to take the contents OF one OF
them as she was tired of living.
The young lady addressed did not think that
Miss Walter meant what she SAID but still she
tried to convince her that living was preferable
to dying, and this seemed to put Miss Walter in
better spirits.
Later in the evening, however Miss Walter
changed her mind, and about 10 o'clock swal-
lowed the contents of one of the bottles She
soon began o breathe heavily, and this attracted
the attention of her uncle, who sent after Drs.
Bond and Barnes Although they did all in
their power TO stay the effects of the drug, their
efforts were unaYailing, and the unfortunate
girl died shortly after midnight
