Our ohTd oVec TO SUICIDE OraVe.
New YORK, March 30-Marie
Handel, II years old, a Bohemian
cigarette maker, committed suicide
at her home last night by taking
paris green. 1t is thought that the
girl killed herself to fulfill her COM
pact which she made to Barbara
Svec, who lived next door to her.
Barbara Svec committed suicide
January 81 last. Ever since her
death Marie Handel has been more
or less Respondent. She was en-
gagged to be married to Joseph Svec,
brother of the dead girl, and the
date for the wedding had been set
for the coming Easter. Last week
her lover sent her money to buy
her trousseau. She refused to take
it, and said: "What is the use of
getting married yet? We will
postpone it for a while" Marie
Handel went last night to the
cigarette factory where she worked
and received the money which she
had coming to her and also the
Nut w ObhCiH vi hOA
She went to the house of one of
these friends, gave her the money
and came home sick, but when her
mother questioned her she evade6
the question, but soon became so i'll
that her mother called in j. +. Va
millie. He found the girl had
paris green. She said she was tired
of life. Further than this she
would not talk. An ambulance
was called from the Presbyterian
hospital. She was taken there and
died at 1895. Frank Handel,
brother OF the dead girl, knew Of
the intimacy which had existed be-
tween the two suicides and said
last night that he believed his sis
ter had killed herself because Of a
compact she had made with the
Syec girl.

OVER THE VETO.

Bounty Act Over the Governors
Veto by q Decisive Vote.

Veto by q Decisive vote.
LINCOLN, Neb., March 30.-Gov,
Holcomb sent in his veto OF the
sugar bounty act, but without
avail, as the legislature promptly
passed the bill over his veto. The
governor sent in large message in
which he discussed, especially the
feature OF the money raised by tax
alton for such purpose. The fol-
lowing sentences express the sub
stance Of the message:
81 am unable to approve this act
for the reason that in my Judgment
it is in the nature of class legisla-
ton and of doubtful. constitutional
ity. Through it, under the form OF
taxation, the sacred rights of prop
erty of the many are invaded and
their means taken to advance the
welfare of those only who are en-
gagged in this industry" The house
took prompt action and by vote
of 50 to % passed the bill. In the
Senate the vote was equally en-
phatic and the bill passed over the
veto by 26 to 8. The measure was
Republican one. 1t gives sugar

A neat little financial operation cul-
minated yesterday afternoon at the
Hotel Windsor, as a result of which u
stranger who gave his name as ], II,
strohsneider, left town with friend
giving his name as William Boyd and
cool thousand dollars In cash, Of the
goods and chattels OF one Henry Beeler.
Strohsneider Is said 10 be from Allie
gheny City, Boyd from that vicinity
and Beeler from Wayuesburg, Pa, Beel-
er claims to have been the stakeholder
for the Corbett-Mltchell prize fight and
to be an all-round sport.
The three were at the Windsor. Yes
terday they gathered In the room OF
one Of them to agree upon terms for a
foot race the stakes 10 be 81 600 side.
BeeleT was to back one man and Boyd
the other, while Strohsneider agreed 10
act In the capacity OF stakeholder. a
gentleman whose name is given as Car
ter or Cutter was called in as witness,
but after listening to the mems talk for
awhile concluded II was all wind and
left the room.
Beeler put up his $1,000, and Strohs-
nelder and Boyd departed, jumping I'm
buggy and disappearing. They did
not leave Beeler's thousand behind.
The police were notified, aud Cutter
being pointed out to them as having
some knowledge Of the affair, was ar
rested by Lieut.. Clemans. He proved,
however, 10 be an entirely respectable
travelling salesman, and ut once gave
bond for n hearing this afternoon. his
bondsmen being Joseph Speidel, E. u.
Carney and John Sheekey.

some mysterious way, too, a number
OF Wheeling sporty boys seemed to
know all about the little game before
II was more than fairly played-cer-
tainly before there was any means of
communication from the Windsor to
where they We're.
