THE DEATH OF JOHN TRAUB.
Was II Brother of GottIieb Traub, Who
Committed Suicide.

John Traub a brick mason, forty-two
years old, was found dead yesterday morn
ing in his room at nc North Senate ave-
nue.. He had been there but a short time,
and the people with whom he roomed knew
little of him. His body was taken to Whit
sets morgue, where DR.. Long made
post norton examination. The supposition
was that Traub had committed suicide by
taking morphine.
John Traub was a brother of Gottiieb
Traub, who committed suicide in his room
over his saloon on Pearl street about
eighteen months ago. Gottlieb Traub and
c. l.. f. MadSen were pratnerS in the
loon business. Gottlieb was well known
about town and among his acquaintance
as Jack He accidentally shot woman in
a resort back of the police station on the
night of July A. 1895. The woman recovered
and brought suit against him for damages,
and also brought criminal proceedings
mind to the extent that he ended his
troubles by shooting himself.
John Traub was almost continually in the
company of his brother during the time
Gottleb was in the saloon business. The
death of his brother had q marked effect
upon John. He never seemed to be the
same person afterward The Traubs had
relatives in West Indianapolis. Alfred
Traub, saloon keeper West Washing
ton street, west of the river. is a brother
of Gottlieb and John. John Traub was I'M
married, and, until recently, had boarded
at 723 North Senate avenue.

The Untruthful Matthews.

To the Editor OF the indianapolis Journal:
In your comments to-day on the speech
of Governor Matthews, i'm which he SO
basely slandered General Harrison, You
have filled long felt want, All inteli-
gent people who heard the Governor when
he spoke in this city were Disguised when
they heard him tell deliberate falsehood
concerning what General Harrison had saaA
about a dirty dollar. He made the same
statement here about General Harrisolr.
holding up a silver dollar and saying it
was q dirty dollar. 1t was carefully pre-
pared speech. most of which he read from
manuscript. with the prefacing remark TO
the effect that he did not want 70 he mis-
understood. We have been wondering why
the Governor was not sooner brought to
task.
In the same speech here he made a STATE
ment just as false and malicious concerning
the Hon. Marcus II. Sulzer. Republican,
candidate for Congress, whose home is in
this city, where he is universally loved and
respected by all parties as is no other
public man. The Governor delibera teiy
stated he had been reliably Informed that
Mr.. SuZer had stated in u speech in some
II raj district thar Bryan had voted foi his
law of 1873 demonetiZing silver. Governor
Matthews knows Sulzer, who has been liz
teens, and all who know him know that
man in the State is better posted about
public men or is more careful or guarded
in his statements. Governor Matthews, in
making the statement he did about Mr.
Sulzer, was rejecting upon hts honor or in
teligence without cause or provocation, but
his acG reflected back upon himself, and be-
Titled him in the estimation of his audi
ence, many of whom were Republicans,
who had attended the meeting because it
was the Governor of Indiana who was to-
make address, and they had expected
TO hear something worthy and dignifed:
they did not expect such trashy, disgusting
demagogism from one who aSpired to bN

THEN MRS. MARY WHITE, STR AN
GER, TOOK POISON AND DIED.
Out of Money, and Could Find No
Work-JOhn Traub Supposed to
Have Committed Suicide.

Mrs. Mary White, about thirty years old
stranger in the city, committed suicide
yesterday morning at the residence of Mrs.
Smith, 100 West Ohio street. The woman
had come to the house Monday and ar
ranged to stay until yesterday. During
that time something was learned of her
history by women with whom she came in
contact. She formerly lived in Syracuse,
N. Y, where she was married. About eight
months ago she separated from her
husband and went to Chicago in search of
employment. Unsuccessful in Chicago she
came to this city Sept. 26 and went to room
at lis North Illinois street. She failed to
find employment here and run out of
money She had met Mrs. Smith and made
arrangements with her to stay at her house
until yesterday morning, saying that she
intended leaving the city.
Tuesday Mrs. White went out with a
young lady rooming at the same house.
She went to Bedfords drug store at Ohio
and Indiana avenue She left her compan-
ion outside, saying she wanted some toilet
soap. She came out without having made
purchase, and the two went to Ead'S drug
store at New York and Delaware streets.
Here she also failed to make purchase
and the young lady asked her what she
was trying to find. Mrs. White told her it
was deadly poison and that the druggists
refused to sell it without prescription.
The two women then went to a drug store
on Massachusetts, avenue and here Mrs.
White secured the article she wanted.
Tuesday night the people at Mrs. Smiths
retired as usual and Mrs. White was
noticed by one of the ladies sitting on her
bed crying. Later she was observed read
ing her Bible and then for an hour or more
she was heard packing her clothes. Yes
terday morning at 5 o'clock heavy breath
ing vas heard in the room and an invesu-
CATION was made. Mrs. White was uncon-
scious DR.. Wilson, of the City Dispensary.
was summoned He worked with the
woman until 1870 o'clock yesterday after
noon, when she died. 1t is supposed that
mOrphine was the cause of death.

MARQUIS of Durerin Speaks.

BELFAST, Ireland Oct. 2S.-The Marquis
of Dufferin, newly retired from the post of
British ambassador at Paris. was accorded
a banquet here tonight, at which he made
a speech. He declared that owing to his
age and deafness, he had definitely retired
from official life. Although England was
not loved, the Marquis continued, she had
no dispute with any nation of Europe ex-
cept Turkey. The salvation of the Arme-
mans, he asserted, cannot be found in any
scheme applied to che Armenians alone,
but in reforms giving projection to all the

United States, which could only result in
involving the United States and them in
