 With Bullet in His Brain-A Tragic Ar
 fair Yesterday.
 Frank c. Dame. aged twenty-four. a painter and paper hanger, fired a A. calibre bullet Into the face of Mary G, Perry at lsih St. John street at few minutes before 10 o'clock yesterday morning. and then fled to his lodging place at 8 Jefferson street and inflicted a fatal wound on himself by firing one Of the bullets through his right temple.
 Miss Perry was about twenty-seven years Of age and lived with her mother. Mrs, William Bates. at the address mentioned.
 Dame boarded with Mrs. Bates until week ago. when. as he was unable to pay n seven weeks board bill, he was requested to leave.
 IL was noticed that Dame had been paying attentions to Miss Perry for some time previously. but they were not of an ardent nature. as Miss Perry did not receive them favofaply. Since Dame left the Bates house he has roomed with Mrs Lawrence Lyman at Jefferson street. Tuesday evening he was seen by two Italians prowling around Mrs. Bates house, and other neighbors saw him in the vicinity early yesterday morning.
 At 9 o'clock yesterday morning Miss at tx,f tba bntr rd av,A Dame immediately stepped up to her. and holding a five chamber H-calibre revolver close to her head that the powder burned her hair and the upper part of her dress. fired. The bullet went through her right cheek, knocking out three teeth and shattering her jaw. The bullet could not afterwards be found. The neighborhood was quickly aroused, the would-be or possibly actual murderer escaped for time in the confusion. and Dr. Cremin was shortly on the scene. He immediately set to work to save the young girls life, and large crowd of people congregat- ed around the place.
 The police made an immediate hunt for Dame. who fled with such rapidity that no one could tell where he went to.
 Officers Grant and Roach went to 8 Jefferson street. where they heard he lived with the family of Mrs. Lyman. Just as they reached the front door a pistol shot was heard.
 The officers rushed upstairs and in a room on the top floor they found Dame dying on his bed. He had locked the door but they broke it in. Every indi- cation pointed to determined suicide for Dame must have gone straight to his room after shooting Miss Perry.
 He had removed his outer clothing and lay on the bed in his underclothing and stockings. The pistol fell near where his right hand rested on the bed and there was a bulelt hole in his right temple.
 Dr. Park was immediately called, but he could do nothing as the wound was fatal. Dame was removed to ,the hos pital, where he died at 12:15
 At the house 1t was said that he pro- posed marriage to Miss Perry, but she rejected him. and ever since then he has been morose and ugly. Some of the neighbors think he intended to shoot Mrs. Bates for putting him out of the house, but this theory is not as credible as that jealousy was the cause. No one but Dame was in the house at Jefferson street when he shot himself, as Mrs. Lyman and her family had gone to Pawson Park on picnic. "hi1a ,tu 1ytCfSs,, hor l. Mary G. Perry, the neighbors know her as Georgia Allen.
 Dame had followed the trade of painter and paper hanger for several years. He was rather goodJooking, of medium height, being of stocky build At his lodging place on Jefferson street he was not well known, being of rather a retiring disposition.
 Mrs. Lyman and her family, who keep the house where the shooting took place, were away on a picnic at Pawson park and knew nothing about the tragedy until they returned to the city in the afternoon.
 Miss Perry, or Allen, said that Danes had been paying attention to her for some time and finally proposed mar riage She refused him, she said, be- cause she was already engaged to be married.
 Last evening Dr. Cremin reported
