Just as New-York people were beginning 10 ap-
preciate the merits OF BLACK America al Ambrose

his attraction TO another city. BLACK America Is
unauestionably a distinct novelty in the amusement

there should be a bright future for It, since Ieav-
ing South Brooklyn the entertainment has been
changed from outdoor exhibition into an indoor
one and ii will be seen as such for the next two
weeks at the Madison Square Garden.

TOOK HIS Own LIFE.

Quite q sensation was caused here
Thursday when news arrived here
fom Watersln4et, Mich, that w. NJ.
Clark had committed suiside at that place
Thursday morning. and the following
gentlemen left OH the afternoon train for
Watersmeet and brought the remains to
this city that evening: Undertaken How
ard, D. Il. Riordan, Chris Wise, O. B.
Moon, Jasper Roderick, Geo Oconer
and r. Slattery.
Mr. Clark left. here Wednesday after
noon, purchasing a. ticket for State Line
but went through as far as Watersneet
with G. w. Mulligan who was OH his
way to Choate, and expected to meet
Clark the following day. When he re-
turned to Watersmeet, he inquired for
Clark and was informed that he was
still in bed but that they had raped at
the door of his room and had received no
reply. Some one said they had hoard
three shots fired that morning at about
seven clock, so Mr.. Mulligan got the
sheriffwho broke into the room, where
they found Clark lying on the bed with
three bullet holes in his body, one
Just a little to the left of his heart and
the other twoin the head. 1t is impossi-
bic to say in which place he shot himself
first, but the supposition is that 1t was
in the chest, but the one which extin-
guished life was fairly through the head.
Vim. Clark had baen engaged i'll the
saloon business here for the last two
years, and AS far az we know had no
real enemy III the town. His parents re-
side in Briggsville this state, and are
people who have the respect al all who
know them. His father arrived here
Friday AFTERNOON and took the remains
to Briggsville for Increment.
