HAD LIVED LONG ENOUGH
Daniel O'ROlls, of Peckville, S3 Years
Of Age, Hangs Himself.
USED PIECE OF A CLOTHES LINE
Went TO an Out House. Placed the Rope
Around u Raftcr and Formed a
Moose Which lie Placed
About His Neck.

Daniel O'Rolls, who had reached the
patriarchal age of SO. committed sui
eide yesterday at Peckville by hanging
himself with piece of a clothes line.
Dependency and the general breaking
down of his system, due to his extreme
age, are supposed to have caused his
desire to pay the debt of nature before
he had been formally called.
Mr.. O'Rolls was one of the pioneers
of this region. He was born in the
southern part of this city, known then
as Slocum Hollow, and spent his youth
amid the fields and forest that few
years later were destined to be the
site of great, thriving city.
Some time ago Mr.. O'Rolls' wife died
and he took up his residence with one
of his sons at Peckville, but about a
month ago transferred his place Of
abode to the residence of another son
in n different portion of that village.
OF late he complained much about his
health, which was breaking down and
he suffered from fits of dependency.
Wanted to Wander Away.
A few days ago he remarked to his
daughter-in-law that he wished the
weather was mild and he would wander
into the woods and never come back.
Yesterday afternoon he went to an out
house, having provided himself with a
piece of clo'Ie line. He threw the rope
over u rafter, made a moose of it, and
then jumped off the bench.
The rope was so long that his toes
touched the ground. About 3 o'clock
in the afternoon the old man was
missed and his grandson made a search
for him. He was Mortified to find him
hanging in the clubhouse. Life was eX-
tinct, but the body was still warm.
1t was cut down and a message sent to
Coroner Kelly acquainting him of the
occurrence. He went to Peckville last
evening and held an inquest.
AJury Empanncllcd.
A jury, consisting of John Manley,
Patrick Carey, Thomas Granahan,
Thomas Mullaney, Michael Colloran,
and w. G. White, was selected, and
after viewing the remains a number of
witnesses We're examined.
The verdict was that Daniel O'Rolls
came to his death by strangulation.

CAUCUSES In TIE SEVENTH.
Thomas Clark Nominated for Common
Council at Meeting in ST. Johns Hall
District Officers Named.

Democrats of the Seventh ward held
caucus in st. Johns hall last night
and nominated Thomas Clark for com
mon council. 1t was largely attended
and the proceedings were conducted in
a quiet and orderly manner. NJ. j.
Kelly was elected chairman and James
Padden secretary. In a brief speech
Mr. Kelly stated the object of the con-
vention and urged those who partici-
pated in it to be true to the candidates
nominated.
He then called for nominations for
common council and James Gillespie
placed Patrick Murray in nomination.
A vote resulted as follows: Clark, so;
Murray, 2S. On motion of Mr.. Murray
the nomination was made by acclama-
ton. The following district officers
We're nominated:
First district-Judge of election, An
thony Gillard; inspector, James Cush, jr.;
register James Reddington.
Second district-Judge of election, Pat
rick V. Scanlon; inspector, Michael Da-
Wis; register, Michael Corby.
Third district-Judge of election, Brian
Dolan; inspector. Anthony Lotus; regis
ter, Michael Noon.
Mr.. Clark, the nominee for common
council, has resided in the ward since
boyhood and is at present engaged in
the plumbing business there.
Another Caucus Held.
Between the hours Of and another
caucus was held at the various polling
places of the ward, which was attended
only by those who were favorable to
the candidacy of NJ. f. Gilroy, in whose
interest that particular caucus was
called. No one attempted to oppose
him, although a few votes We're cast
for Mr.. Clark. 1t was held that the
caucus was illegal and was, therefore
ignored by the majority of the Demo
cratic voters of the ward. Gilroys
friends claim that he received 16l
votes against for Clark, but watch
ers about the t rec polls give estimates
of the balloting which would indicate
that less than seventy votes were cast
altogether in the entire ward at these
primaries. The district officers nomi-
mated at the Gilroy caucus We're:
First district-Judge of election, John
Malloy, jr.; inspector, James Maloney
register Terrence Rafferty,.
Second district-Judge of election, Pat
rick V. Scanlon; inspector, Michael Davis
register, Michael Corby.
Third district-Judge of election, Thos

of the ward and his candidacy would be
unworthy of the dignity of consdera.
