SuSquehanna.
The romantic Susquehanna River, as it
winds its way toward the N from the noun
tain TOPS of Pennsy lvania, and flows ma
tcally between the picturesque hills of Har-
ford and Cecil, is subject we'll calculated O
inspire the poetic maiden to some act of
romance. And so it has this leap year been
the means of giving to the world gem of
romantic thought. which may result in the
uniting of two young hearts in one loving
heart, and the making of two beats of nature
one great big pulsation
Perryville thus comes into notice as the
land Of discovery, for it was along the river
shore of that pretty town, that the love song
OF sylvia Starr came to the notice of Il
world always ready to listen to love song.
Inclosed in II bottle was this note from love
lorn Sylvia, who is pining her sweet young
life away along the river bank. for the want
of Romeo:

A Slander Nailed.

Many good people have been dis
tressed by the statement, widely
printed, that Mrs. Mckinley is the
owner and receives rent from premises
in Canton which are occupied by d
saloon; and thus. indirectly at. least,
her husband is responsible. We re-
called the bitter accusation hurled
against Lady Somerset on similar
grounds, and the fact subsequently
ascertained that she had INHERITED
the property incumbered by unex-
pired leases, over which she had no
control. Believing that something of
the kind lay back of this case, we
wrote the Rev. John I. Wilson. pastor
of Simpson Methodist Episcopal
church, Canton, ex. presiding elder of
the Cambridge district, East Ohio
Conference, and secretary of the
board of trustees Of the Soldiers Or
phans' Home. Xenia, O., from whom
we received, Oct. l6, the following re-
ply:
II went to see the Mckinley Sa
LOOM Found that Mr.. Saxton, dur
ing his life, leased the aforesaid piece
of ground, Internationally, for thirty
years. and the parties sub.let it and
built shanty on it for saloon, and
the lease has yet two years to run be-
fore it comes into the hands of Mrs.
Mckinley aud the Sa1ton heir, and.
consequently, she receives nothing
from it. aud has nothing whatever to
do with it, much less the Major.

A BANKERS SUICIDE.
His Firm Ruined by the Collapse of
the National Bank of Illinois.

CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-Otto Wasmans-
dorf of the banking firm of Wasmans-
dorf & Heinemann, which failed here
last Monday as a result of the collapse
of the National Bank of Illinois, com
mitted suicide at his home, $40 Cleve-
land avenue, this morning by shooting
himself in the right temple with re-
volver. The constant worry and mental
anxiety of the past week consequent
upon the failure is believed to have
been the cause. He had scarcely slept
during that time, and although it is
generally believed that the bank will
discharge its obligations in full, Mr..
Wasmansdorf saw that his standing in
financial circles had been imperiled.
The banker was an emotional Ger
man, and his anxiety during the past
week was pitiable. Insomnia resulted
from his troubles, and it is thought his
mind may have been temporarily de-
ranged. He remained in the house all
the morning after passing a sleepless
night. Shortly before II O'clock he was
romping with his little grand child in
the sitting-room. Mrs. Wasmansdorf
left them there for a few minutes, but
when she returned the child was alone
She inquired for her husband and the
little girl said he had gone up stairs.
The baby was sent after him and dis
covered his body in a front bedroom
lying across the bed. Blood was ooz-
ing from an ugly wound in the right
temple and revolver was lying near
his right hand. Nobody heard the re-
port of the weapon. Two doctors were
sent for, but all they were called upon
to do was to pronounce the banker
dead.
Otto WaSmansdorf was born in Fien-
erode, near Magdeburg, Prussia

Senator Allen and his ilk want the people to get
