A Sensational Suicide.

Westminster, Md, Sept. 29.-Miss
Carrie Horner, daughter of Charles
Horner, of this place, committed sui
eide by taking strychnine today, under
peculiar circumstances. She was to
have been married at II o'clock today
to William Brock, grocer. Brock
suggested they take a walk in the GEM
etery, and there he informed her, ac.
cording to her father's statement, that
he was not In a position to marry her.
Upon this she became nervous and said
she wished to be alone. Shortly after,
Brock heard a scream and found her
in convulsions. The father of the girl
was so incensed that he started in quest
of Brock, swearing to kill him, but the
latter had left town.

FINDS BUT LITTLE FAVOR
Gladstone's Solution of the
Turkish Problem
DISCUSSED BY THE JOURNALS

Better Received on the Continent Thai
in England The Turkish Ships
Are Near the Bosphorus.
London, Sept. 29.-The wearisome
Armenian question has almost absorbed
public attention during the week.
The proposal of Mr.. Gladstone to with
draw the British ambassador from Con.
stantinople and dismiss the Turkish
ambassador here, is discussed by all
the newspapers, but finds little favor,
and ls looked upon as being simply a
policy of crying "boo," which will
have absolutely no good effect upon the
sultan.
All eyes are now tunred toward Bal.
moral, where the arrival today of the
Marquis of Salisbury, it is hoped,
marks turning point in Great Brit
aims position towards the powers
The British premier will stay several
days at Balmoral, and there is little
doubt that he will utilize his time in
endeavoring to win from the czar
recognition of the disinterested charac-
ter of Great Britain's policy toward
Turkey, and arrange basis for joint
action, which will render further mas.
sacres impossible.
On the Continent Mr.. Gladstone's
speech was received differently in the
various countries. The French press
expressed unusually favorable opinions
of it and even the notorious Anglo
phobe organ gave it generous praise
The Libre Parole describes it as the
finest Mr.. Gladstone has ever made and
one which stigmatizes most magnif.
Gently the crime of European diplom.
acy in past years, In fact, the COM
ments of the press generally indicate
that France has at last awakened to the
enormities of Turkish rule, and she
will welcome an understanding be.
tween Russia which will enable them
to take joint and effective action at
Constantinople.
In Austria and Germany, however,
the newspapers scoff at Mr.. Gladsotue's
proposal regarding the ambassadors,
which is characterized as fanatical and
frivolous.
The remarkable violence of the Eng.
llsh agitation which has been conduct-
ed against the sultan is shown by the
character of the epithets which have
been hurled at him by the usually mod.
erate-speaking English people. Mr..
Gladstone's epithet of "the great as
sassin" seems to have set the fashion,
the Duke of Westminster following
with "fend incarnate," Earl Spencer
preferring representative of diaboli-
Cal and atrocious government.
The term applied by William Wat.
son, the poet, Abdul the Damned"
IN his series of sonnets ON the Armeni.
an question, perhaps finds the most
frequent repetition of any of them.
|he press is not behind in its sensa.
tional dealings with the subject by the
most lurid headlines in the newspapers
and posters to advertise them. The
Chronicle is printing series of "mur.
der maps on the subject.

Joseph Bash, of Cleveland, O., for
some unknown reason, conceived the
ghastly idea of killing his whole fam.
lily, and, securing crowbar, repaired
to the room where his wife and two
daughters were sleeping With one
blow he crushed the skull of his wife
and then turned to the cradle of his
youngest child. The 19.year. .old
daughter in another bed awoke and
sprang to arrest the fiend's arm, but
the blow fell across the infants face.
A desperate fight between father and
daughter took place. The girls
screams brought assistance and the
man fled. The woman is at the point
of death, but the infant may live.

An Unscrupulous Adventurer Robs "A
Denver Widow.
San Francisco, Sept. 29.-Robert
Snowden, who claims to be a journal
ist, was arrested last night on a war
rant charging him with felony and en-
bezzlement. The complaining witness
is Mrs. Sarah b. Williams, a middle
aged widow, of Denver. She claims
that Snowden, who is % years old,
induced her to come to San Francisco
on promise to marry, and then
caJoled her out of her money and
jewelry and disappeared.
According to the woman's story, she
met Snowden in Denver some months
ago, and, after brief acquaintance,
consented to marry him. He was in a
hurry to get back to the coast at the
time, and she promised to join him at
any time he sent for her. In pursu.
ance OF this agreement Mrs. Williams
started for San Francisco, arriving
mere in company with Snowden, who
had gone to Sacramento to meet her, on
Shu6uob ~.
The young man took the widow to
the Palace hotel, where she registered
and procured room. For some rea.
son or another, her intended husband
put off the marriage from time to time
until ne had succeeded in borrowing
all OF her money and jewelry, on one
pretext or another. Then he disap.
peared. Mrs. williams waited pa.
tiently for him to return, but after sew.
eral days began to realize that she had
been defrauded and that she was in
debt at fashionable hotel, with moth.
ing IN her purse to warrant her stay.
Mrs. Williams waited until her bill
had reached 800, when the hotel man.
agement insisted on payment. The
widow explained her position, and was
sent away from the hotel, her baggage
being held for her bill. The woman
was utterly penniless, and was com.
pelled to seek shelter in a charitable
institution.
Snowden says he met the woman in
Denver through newspaper personal
