SUICIDE AT OAKDALE.
William StowelI the Railroad Gate.
keeper Kills Himself.

Peculiar Circumstances About the Affair."
His Body Discovered by School Boys
Yesterday Afternoon.
Yesterday afternoon about o'clock
several school boys were passing the gate
house on Fessenden street. Oakdale and
hearing trainEcoming, thought it strange
that the gate keeper, Mr. William Stow
ell was not In his accustomed place flag
ging the crossing. One of the boys start
ed for the house to get the flag and upon
opening the door horrible sight met
his eyes. Lying face downward in a pool
Of blood that covered the floor was the
gate keeper. The boys promptly notified
the gate keeper at the Williams street
crossing, who proceeded to investigate.
He found his friend as the boy said, ~
ing Oh the floor face downward IN large
pool of blood which was gushing from
his throat which had been cut, severing
the juguIar vein. The razor with which
the deed was lifted, laid on the shelf
near his head, but was closed and didanot
show signs of having been used recently,
for so terrible a purpose. Near by in the
corner laid an old Ratchet which wa
implicitly covered with blood and must
have played some part in the tragedy.
Blood covered everything on the side
of the house where his head lay, and the
walls were spattered halfway to the roof,
showing that the deed must have been
committed standing, the blood spatter-
ing when he fell.
it Is thought by some that he had been
shaving, and did the deed in moment
of insanity, but there is nothing to sup
port this theory.
Coorner Perry was notified and soon
He made thorough investigation and
nothing of particular interest was found
except a new leather revolver case in the
pocket Of his overooat, which hung on
the wall, and the fact that the chairs
were all arranged on one side of the
room. At this time, no revolver was
found, but later the man who came from
the city to fill his place discovered under
lot of newspapers on the same shelf
that the razor was found, q revolver. He
did not touch the weapon, however.
When the PRESS representative ar
rived he was shown the revolver, which
had just been discovered, ard which upon
investigation proved to be a thirty-two
calibre Harrington and Richardson re-
volyer containing two shells 10th of
which had haan fired
It was learned that the revolver had
been borrowed that morning from a 10y
to shoot cats with las he said) but the
boy being suspicious drew the powder
from each cartridge, making it perfectly
harmless.
l. Mr.. Stowell was a very stout man
about 65 years Of age and had been the
gate keeper at Oakdale for several years.
OF late he had been Respondent, as his
health had been poor and recently he had
cancer removed from his lip. This
was getting along all right, however.
He had been married twice and he has
| three sons living. One is supposed tc
| live in Bethel. Maine, and an attempt tc
notify him has been made.

LITTLE WHEAT OFFERING, AND
NO DEMAND.
Barley Trifle Weaker-Export Trade
i'm Flour Quite Active
Oats Firm.
San Francisco, May 18th.


Wheat is inactive; none offering TO speak
of and no demand. Export trade in flour
is quite active; shipments yesterday footed
up nearly 23,OO0 barrels, principally to
Australia and China. Barley is a trifie
weaker. though no lower. Oats are very
firm; receipts have been light and stocks
are considerably reduced. Corn is rather
dull; Large Yellow is lower.
