A SOCIETY LEADERS, SUICIDE.
Mrs. Percy Ireland Killed Herself to
Veil Her FOrgeries.

CINCINNATI, March 3.-The suicide of
Mrs Percy Ireland at her home on Walnut
Hills yesterday is still the theme for gossip
in society circles. In Mrs. Ireland's room
was found large box of clothing addressed
to Mary Crittenden, of Elizabeth. n. j. A
letter was found in which she stated TO Mrs.
Crittenden that she was going to die on &C
count of the neglect of her mother. Another
letter addressed to Mary S. Decamp, an in
innate friend. was found. in which the
writer again bitterly complained of her
mothers alleged mistreatment. A third let
ter addressed to attorney II. T. LOOMS ask
ing him TO sell her effects and out of the
proceeds to pay what she owed her mother
was also discovered in the room.
Mrs Ireland was the daughter of Joseph
Sellew, once one of the wealthiest hardware
merchants of Cincinnati. He died a few
years ago. The daughter married a Mr..
Hervey. He died over a year ago, and about
six weeks ago the widow married Percy Ire
land, bookkeeper for the RuSSell-Morgan
Printing Company. In January, 1892 Mrs
ireland inherited 100 from her fathers
estate. She began TO give large donations
to local churches and charities and finally
ran through the legacy. Her mother, who
is one of the wealthieSt women in this coun-
ty. gave her $1,000 most Of which went to
settling debts.
In less than two years Mrs. Ireland had
spent $4,000 When her wedding was APP
prOacDlnS recently MIS- ireland IOu0Q ner-
self out of funds. She forged her mothers
name to a NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. note and sold
it. When the note fell due, the other day,
Mrs. Sellew paid it, but said nothing to
her daughter 1t is supposed that fear of the
discovery of her crime preyed Oh Mrs. Ire
lands mind and made her insane.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ireland seemed happy in
their domestic affairs. Their home at the
corner of Gilbert and Woodburn is mag
nificently furnished, while both the hus-
band and wife moved in the most arlsIo-
cratic circles in the city. Mrs. Ireland was
twenty-seven years old and most beauti-
full woman. In all social affairs Tor
years past she was leader. Until her
first husband died any affair of the local
four hundred would have been lacking
without her presence. When Hervey died
she turned to religious and charitable works
and was equally prominent in them She
was the main support of the Baptist
Church at Norwood.
Mrs. Sellew, the mother said to the coro-
ner that her daughter no doubt killed her.
self as the result Of worry over a note of
$500 she forged on her (the mother) some
time ago. She stated that her daughter had
been spendthrift and had squandered $780,,
600 that she had got by inheritance and
otherwise since Jan. 1, 1892 She herself had
given her some $1,000. Mr.. Hervey, her first
husband, died ignorant of the fact that his
wife was living beyond her means. This
extravaganza had continued since her sec
ord marriage six weeks ago, and all her
money was gone.

WESTERN INSURANCE UNION.
New Cities Taken Into the Association
The Office of Fire Coroner.

ST. LOUIS, March 3.-The Western Fire
Insurance Union adjourned last night to
meet again Sept. II at Crescent Springs,
Pa st. Louis, Chicago. Louisville, Gin
cinnati and Cleveland were brought into
the union. A resolution was adopted
strongly charging the legislative commit
tees with the work Of propagardizing In
favor of the creation Of the office of fire
coroner all over the country to inyesti-
gate the origin of unknown fires and to
prosecute incendiarisms. The recommends
tons of the committee on taxation and Leg
islation were adopted. They demand that
the amount of the tax imposed by every
State shall be the integral portion OF the
rate. Thus a different rate viii be made,
discriminating on equally hazardous poll
cies against States with heavier taxation.
The union also decided TO withdraw from
States with excessive deposit demandR

Labor, who arrived here to-day from st.
Paul. said he is devoting a great deal of
thought to negro colonization. Referring
to various plans for emigration to Africa,
he said: These schemes appeal powerful

know that colonization on this continent is
impracticable. The Congo is the richest
country in the world. King Leopold of
Belgium, agent for the Congo treaty

LOCAL GRAIN AND PRODUCE.
The Best Weeks Trade of 1S94-Prices
in Most Lines Sfendv.

The common remark on the wholesale
streets yesterday was that 1t had been the
best business week of the present year, and
the increased business reached to Commits
sion row. While trade was increased on
Commission row considerably by sales Of
seed potatoes, onion sets and other seeds,
in other lines more trade has been In prog
ress, and no complaint has been heard on
the part Of the commission men of dull
trade or slow collections for some days.
Poultry, egg and butter markets are active,
but in prices all are lower than at the be-
ginning Of the week. Provisions are moving
better in jobbing way, but not up to ex-
pectations. Prices are unsettled, and being
downward in tendency. the retail men buy
only to meet immediate needs. Dry-goods
houses experienced a much better trade
but still the dry-goods men say there is
large room for Improvement Wholesale
confectioners speak OF their trade as COM
pairing very favorably with year ago.
Hardware men still report trade slow. With
iron dealers IL has improved some. Oranges
and lemons both rule easy at quotations.
Receipts of strawberries, tomatoes, cab
bages and cucumbers of Southern growth
are on the increase, but selling yet at lux
ury prices.
The local grain market has been more
active in the week ending March 8, as re-
suit of the reduction in east-bound rates.
Still, shippers and dealers are not doing
the increased business which had been
looked for by those who had for six weeks
been hearing the same parties say if they
had 20-cent-per- 100 pound rate, Chicago to
New York basis, to work on, they would
be doing something. Track bids yesterday
