SHOCKING DISCOVERY.
DAVID BELL FOUND IN TIE WOODS WITH Els
FACE BLOWN OFF.
lie Was Missed From His Home and Found BY q
Searching Party Last Nigh;-Tho1ghi
10 BE- Suicide.

Word reached Beliaire late last night
of q shocking affair al Franklin, about
seven miles west OF that city.
David Bell, a resident OF that place,
who was about forty years OF age, and
was we'll and fayorably known, left his
home during the day, and went out in
to the woods, ostensi6ly on hunting
expedition. Bell did not return at sup
per time, and the uneasiness which had
grown on the members Of the family as
the afternoon waned, caused them TO
organize a searching party.
Friends Of Bell and number OF
volunteers, started out after supper,
and made search Of the woods. About
half mile from this little town, they
found the dead body of man lying be-
side a tree. The discovery was made
shortly before seven o'clock. Bell pre-
sented a shocking appearance. The
entire left side OF his face was blown
off, and his features were maDgled be-
yond recognition. On the ground be-
sids him was q dou ble-barrelled shotgun
empty, which told the story Of mis- death.
The remains of the unfortunate man
were carried TO his home, and later a
message reached Coroner Lohlan In
Bellaire. The coroner went out after
l O'Clock aud will probably hold an in
quest to-day.
The circumstances surrounding the
case give il the appearance OF suicide.
Friends OF the unfortunate man are at
a loss to account for any reason he may
have had for self-destruction, and they
incline to the opinion that the gun was
accidentally discharged. The affair
has caused q sensation In the usually
quiet community OF Franklin.

1T WAS SUICIDE,
The Dead Body OF AdOlph Theilacker
Found Yesterday.

Found Yesterday.
The body of Adolph Theilacker, who
left his home Thursday afternoon in
such a strange manner, was found In
the river yesterday morning by william
Burdette, who resides at No. 2O2 Coal
street in this city.
A searching party was formed late
Thursday night, but they gave up hunt
ing for Theilacker about three o'clock
in the morning. Theodore Kellar, who
was hunting the river shore near Bur
lington, yesterday morning, hailed Bur-
dette, who was going mp the river In a
skiff, and asked him TO keep on the
look out for floater.
Burdette discovered the object OF his
search a few minutes later lying in the
deep water about the middle OF the
river, near the Burlington bar The
body was brought down to links un-
dertaking establishment where Coroner
Lohman held an inquest, but nothing
new was developed.
Theilacker was supposed to nave
committed the rash act while in nj OF
despondency about one OF his eyes in
which he got small piece OF steel
some time ago and the attending doctor
told him he would lose the sight OF that
organ. The funeral takes place this
afternoon at 3 o'clock from his late res
idence.

PARArHERNALrAIN LADIES DESKS
Costly and EXquisite Article' of Useful

Costly and EXquisite Artlcle' OF Useful
ness aud OrnamentatioD.
The latest notion In lamps is a charm
ing one. The within OF fashion calls for
small lights upon both my lady's desk
and dressing table, and there are some
very fascinating varieties from which
to choose. The entire outfit is fne
china. with princess lamps set in candle
sticks OF the same, promises TO become
popular, and certainly some that are
offered would tempt the most exacting
taste.
One woman, who is apt to be little
in advance OF most fashions, has both
her toilet table and her desk fitted out
already, aud she is the envy OF all her
friends. The China chosen for the
writing equipment is the still popular
Dresden, aud wonderfully dainty IL Is.
The ink.wel and pen rack are COM
bned, and sufficiently roomy to suggest
generous supply OF ink and pens OF
many sorts. The paper rack is gem
in it's way, and really contains supply
sufficient to warrant It's being. The
botter. the stamp box and all the para
phernalia are there, and finishing all
are the two lamps, which stand always
ready to be lighted aud TO shed their
soft light upon the page.
The dressing table is equipped with
genuine Sevres and is as charming and
suggestively womanlke as can be. The
brush tray is ample. The powder box
is big enough to warrant its name. The
various implements OF the toilet all
show handles and backs OF the fine
china, and the TWO tina lamps are so
placed as 10 shed a charming light over
the whole and make the work OF selec-
ton a delight. The wicks are not large
enough TO show any fierce light, nor are
these lamps intended as a means OF illu-
my nation either. There are others with
larger burners and circular draught
somewhere about the room, or gas or
electricity is used. The object Of the
charming little accessories is 10 show d
few eqtra beams on an especial spot and
10 give that final touch OF beauty which
a we'll shaded lamp can always be
trusted TO do. The outfit OF this one
womac is costly and exquisite. but there
are all sorts for all purses, and very
charming things can be found for real
ly very small sums OF moneG II only the
buyer Is astute and recognizes q good
thing wherever Ii Is TO be seen.

should be piled with dry logs; no lamps

mipatlon being that from the blazing
wood.
The participants gather around the
wide hearth, sitting on stools, chairs or
on the rug. A big box OF marshmaIlows'
the usual kind from the coniectioners,
ia proyided al set on n low table near
the mantel. A bundle OF straight thin
sticks-laths will do-should be 10 read

BOYS while the fire is burning up. They
are slender sticks about two or three
feet ia length. with one end quite
sharply pointed; n marshmsllow Is

attem pted until there is agood bed or
live Goals, as the name is apt TO smoke
the marshmallows; they are toasted un-
MI they become delicate brown and
are eaten In primitive fashion from the
stick.
A more conventional way is TO lay
them in a deep dish or bowl as they are
done. This dish is set upon the hearth
in order TO keep tho contents warm.
When the CONNECTION is all toasted the
dish is placed upon table and the
Gaibty Is consumed, sometimes with the
accompaniment OF punch and cake. but
oftener alone. Marshmallows so pre-
pared are delicious.
II the party is held 10 the house, the
company generally tell ghost stories
after the feast is over. Told by the
fllckering freight, these stories sound
