Suicide at Albany, N. Y, Remains a
Mystery.

Chicago, April 16.-The identity of
ID. Cameron, Albany, n. Y" who
shot himself at the Imperial hotel,
State street, is still a mystery. The
young man was about "a years old,
about five feet eight inches in height
with light hair and mustache and
rather prepossessing appearance. His
clothes were of the best texture and
make. He had u cents and pawn tick
cts in his pocket for an old English
watch, a spring overcoat. diamond pin
and an inexpensive ring, which he left
at the pawn shop on Wednesday, say
ing the $50 he received would not last
him an hour at the rate he had been
spending money In an inexpensive
valise which was held at Wellington
for a days board, Cameron having
stopped there on April u, were found
several articles of linen, good texture,
but not a mark nor a scrap of paper
was found to identify the owner From
remarks he let slip Cameron is sup
posed TO have been the son of a
wealthy San Francisco mine owner,
but the police in San Francisco have
failed to locate his parents.

PROMINENT DEMOCRATS.
Named as Parties Defendant in Suit
Against Civilian Interesting
Points Involved.

A Few phase was yesterday put on
the case of the Utah Loan and Trust
company against H. w. Civilian,
when the plaintiff amended its COM
plant by making. with the permission
of the court, '15 prominent Demo-
Gratis" parties defendant to the suit.
The parties named are H. II. Hender-
son, Thomas d. Dee, John N Perkins,
George w. Jones, Martin Cullen, P. L.
Sheiner James Taylor. C. II. Green
well, W. ]. Ross, S. p. Ash. John Wat
son and H. H. Spencer. The litigation,
grows out of a debt incurred by over
draft in the campaign of 1895. Most
of the parties defendant named were
candidates for office on the ticket, some
being successful. while others were de-
feated. II. w. Civilian was the chair
man of the county central committee,
and it is understood claims to have
made the overdraft with the consent
expressed or tacit Of the parties inter
ested. If the suit is defended some
novel law points are likely to come up
for decision-questions involving how
far a committeeman or candidate may
be held responsible for campaign ex-
penses.
Fanny Faulkner has brought suit for
divorce from John Faulkner. alleging
that the defendant neglects to provide
for herself and six children. The
couple were married in ogden in 1886.

More About Kilday.

The San Francisco Chronicle had an
account of the finding of Kildays body
from its special correspondent in Og-
den, and at the end of the dispatch
was the following, throwing additional
light on the mans life:
Mrs. Kilday was Frustrated last
night when she was shown the above
dispatch announcing the death of her
son, and her condition is pitiful in the
extreme. Though IS years old and in
falling health, she has been compelled
to seek hard manual labor for susten-
ance ever since her son left her for the
east four years ago.
Previous to his departure from San
Francisco Kilday had been drinking
very heavily and had been confined in
the Home for Inebriates for four
months. He was employed by minor
theatrical companies as advance agent,
and went to work in the same capac-
ity in New York in the beginning of
1898. since which time his mother,
though she has made several attempts
to locate him, has heard nothing def
mite of his Whereabouts.
His wife. who secured a divorce some
time ago, now lives with her mother,
Mrs. Holtz, at the corner of Twelfth
and Mission. with her child. The
mother will make an effort to have the
BODY brought to this city for @urial.
Kilday was very well known here
during the time that he operated as a
theatrical agent, principally through
his connection with the Cecil family of
comedians. who were toured by him
in the various cities along the Pacific
coast. On account of his drinking
habits, however, he fell into disrepute
and gradually lest his business con-
nections here, drifting afterward to
New York, where~he again joined small
stock companies
Mrs. Gilsam, Kilday's sister, stated
last night that she believed her broth
er's death to be the result of an acct
dent, and not a case of suicide. He
had reached Utah as advance agent for
the Willis Dramatic company in No
vember last, and was, she believed,
earning good salary in that capac-
city" af

Jacob H Griffin. the well known
contractor, yesterday afternoon entered
in the district court, suit for divorce
from his wife. Minnie P. Griffin.
1t is set up in the complaint that the
marriage took place on Jan. 4. 1888 at
| Louisville, Ky, and that for some
years Mrs. Griffin has been an habit
uai drunkard and, using in immoder-
ate quantities whisky, brandy and
other strong drink. sometimes taking
as much as half d pint of whisky at
one draught and remaining drunk for
week at a time. SIr.. Griffin also al
leges that his wife is addicted TO the
habitual use of morphine, opium and
/ other narcotics. including the smoking
! of cigarettes, to such an extent that
she is unified for any domestic or
marital association. 1t is also alleged
that Mrs Griffin is a strong masculine
woman with an ungovernable temper
and frequently when in a fit of passion
struck plaintiff in the face and abused
him in public by calling him bad
names. She, it is claimed, also inter
fered with his business, insisting that
he was too stupid to manage his affairs
properly and attempted TO assume con-
troll Of his business, which she was al
together incapable of understanding or
conducting. In May, 1896, Griffin says,
his wife swallowed a large quantity of
laudanum with suicidal intent and but
for the efforts of plaintiff and a ply
stefan She would have died. She, it is
alleged. also administered some drug
to their s-year-old child. Harvey P.
Griffin, for the purpose of making him
sick so as to frighten the plaintiff into
granting some of her foolish and I'M
reasonable whims. Plaintiff alleges
that owing to his wife's conduct he has
been compelled to leave his home and
to live separate and apart from his
wife; that he is afraid to live with her.
dreading that she will poison him or
the boy and in conclusion he prays for
a decree of divorce the custody of their
child and that Mrs. Griffin be re-
strained from interfering with him in
the possession of the boy.
The parties have been far from har-
monious in their marital relations for
long time. and it appears that both
had almost fully made up their minds
that it was impossible for them to get
along together, and it was only ques-
ton of which should bring the action
for divorce. each being most anxious TO
have the custody of the child, to which
they are greatly attached.
MRS. GRIFFIN WILL DENY.
Mrs. Griffin says that it had been
agreed between them that no steps
should be taken by either just at the
present time, or at least during the
absence of her attorney, Judge LIE
Grand Young, and she was therefore
greatly surprised when the suit was
filed yesterday.
She was not prepared to make any
statement of her line of defense yet i
but it is understood that the charges
of drunkenness and using narcotics |
viii be combatted and Mrs. Griffin's |
intimate friends say they can be COM |
pletely refuted.

The treatment of many thousands of
those chronic weaknesses and distress
ing ailments peculiar to females, at the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, N Y, has afforded a vast ex
perience in nicely adapting and thor
oughly testing remedies for the cure
of woman's peculiar maladies.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is
the outgrowth, or result, of this great
and valuable experience. Thousands
of testimonials, received from patients
and from physicians who have tested
it in the more aggravated and obstin-
ate cases which had baffled their skill,
prove it to be the most wonderful rem
edy ever devised for the relief and cure
of suffering women. 1t is not recon-
mended as a "cure-all." but a most
perfect specific for women's peculiar
ailments
