Attempted Suicide of Young Woman
from Maine.

Boston, September 3-Miss Annie
Conner, thirty years old, supposed to hail
from PASSPORT, Me, made a deliberate
attempt early this morning to end her
life. According to DIR. Thompson of the
West End, only about an hour IS time
separated her between this world and
that above at the time that she was dis
covered in an unconscious condition in
her room at 9 Bowdoin street.
1t was about o'clock when Annie
Prior, the proprietor of the house, had
her attention attracted to the room occu-
pied by Miss Conner by strong smell OF
gas emanating from it. she tried the
door and found it locked on the inside.
Fearing that something was wrong, she
summoned aid and the door was forced
open. The room was full of gas, and
those who entered the room for the pur-
pose of relieving the would-be suicide il
possible were nearly overcome.
Miss Conner was lying in bed and was
apparently dead. Those in the house,
however, who felt of her pulse realized
that there was still life in her body, and
DIR. Thompson was sent for with all
possible haste.
On his arrival at the house he found
the young woman still unconscious, but
restoratives were applied and the
physician said that in a little while she
would be all right again.
The young woman was allowed TO re-
main at the house instead of being sent
to the hospital, and she will be watched
for some time to see that she does not
again make an attempt to end her ex-
iStence

the Best known Steamboat Men in the

| Word was received in the city last night
that Captain William E. Dennison of the
Maine Central steamer Frank jones'
died at Machiasport at p m. He had
been taken suddenly i'll with pneumonia
and sent for Dr.. Henry P. Merrill of this
city, but the disease terminated fatally
| Captain Dennison was among the best

the call for volunteers for an assault on
the works, Dennison was soon ashore at
the head of his force from the "Chero-

The transition from captain of mer-
chairman to the command of one of
Uncle Sams war vessels was for Captain
Dennison, the result of lucky strike and
notable ability to take advantage of
the situation. To state the case briefly,
Capt Dennisonswith.hisv vessel, the Anne
rican schooner "Adriana" saved the U.
S. s. Wyoming, which had been run
ashore by her rebel-sympathizing crew,
in the Gulf of California, July 81, 1861.
The Wyoming was notable ship. She

the valor of American sailors, when she
entered the straits of Simonoseki, from
whence warshipsof three: of: Europe
had been driven and singly fought the
combined japanese forts and fleet to a
most audacious victory.
Capt. Dennison has sailed in thirty
nine different ships; before the mast as
boy, through the grades of Junior sea-
manship and in command. He has been
an indigo planter in Central America,
owned and sailed trading schooner on
Lake Nicaruga until driven thence by

OBITUARY..
jeremiah Hacker.

Jeremiah Hacker died last Thursday
at Vineland, N. j., at the great age of
ninety -four years, and his funeral took
place on Sunday afternoon.
jeremiah Hacker was born at Brun-
kswick in 1902, and received only COM
mon school education. When very
young man he taught. His attacks upon
the Bible, however, soon gained him
wide notoriety, and he became editor of
qhe Pleasure Boat, published at Portland.
The paper had an extensive circulation,
but when on the eve of the Rebellion he
advocated pace, the circulation OF the
paper quickly melted away.
He then went to Vineland, where his
attacks upon the church again put him
before the public. He composed poems
ridiculing the Bible, and followed by
men and boys walked through the
principal streets of the town singing his
poems and preaching to the crowds. An
announcement in the daily papers that
he would appear in the public square al
ways attracted crowd Mr.. Hacker was
firm in his belief that he was doing good,
and his fortune was spent in intoxicating
his ideas. He was liberal to the poor
When his wife died six years ago. Mr.
Hacker erected two tombstones on his lot
at Sloan cemetery. On his wife's was
inscribed underneath the usual legend
the question "Where is God?" On his
own tombstone was carved the following
"The Angry, Wrathful Bible; God Is a
Myth" These tombstones, so close to
monuments piously inscribed, caused
much comment, and many persons visited
the graveyard to see ''those awful tomb
stones :" Lot owners appealed to the
trustees to have the offensive slabs re-
moved, but the trustees became divided
ON the question, and the tombstones are
still standing.
Mr. Hacker was member of the s"Ten
Dollar Coffin Society," of this place, the
rules of which will not allow any men,
Der to be buried at an expense exceeding
$780, His last words were request to be
buried in a cheap box, and without a
hearse The latter part of the request
was carried out, but to the first part his
friends would not consent.
