work to repair the damage. They are
busily at work there and will probably
finish SO as to allow the school to open
next Monday morning.

Daniel GOuld's Last Words To His
Wife.
SHOT HIMSELF BY HER SIDE ON
NEAL STREET LAST NIGHT.

An Ex-Portland Policeman Kills Himself
Because His Wife Refuses to Live
With Him-Divorce Proceedings Had
Been Served on Him a Short While
Before.
Daniel Gould is one of the former police
men of Portland. During Marshal
Trickey's administration, although not
belonging to the regular force, he Off
ciated as dog officer, it being his duty to
look after the enforcement of the dog law.
He got into scrape about some hens,
and for some time past has picked up a
living here, and part of thu time has re-
sided with son in Worcester, Mass. He
Is man, as the officers say, about
seventy years of age and has been married
several times. His present wife resides at
No. Trowbridge place, with her four
children, all young.
separated, Mrs. Gould remaining at the
home with her children. Gould has
several times urged her to take him back,
but she evidently saw that if she did she
should simply have to support him n
addition to the children and she con-
short time ago she began proceedings for
divorce and placed her case in Mr..
bennett, the lawyers hands. In order to
serve notice of the proceedings on Gould,
Mrs Gould told her husband to come to
the house last hight.
Between eight and nine o'clock last
evening Gould responded to his wife,
notification, and when he arrived at the
house in Trowbridge place an officer
served the notice upon him. Gould begged
his wife to take walk with him and
they stroDed down several streets, he all
the time, trying to induce the woman to
change her mind. But she felt that such
a course would not be good for either and
was deaf to his appeals. When they
reached the corner of Neal street, Gould
drew a revolver and declared that If she
wouldn't live with him he would shoot
himself. She, afraid that he would shoot
her and himself too, tried to change the
current of his thought by saying that if
he would come to the house Saturday
night she and the children would talk the
matter over with him. But Gould was
not to be appeased by any such propo-
sition. He stepped forward raised the
revolver to his head and fired. The ball
entered the head on the right side back of
the ear, took an upward direction,
fractured the skull and exposed the
brain. The bullet did not remain in the
head.
DIR. Marshall happened to be at hand
with Officers Mccormick and Williams,
and they took Gould to the Eye and Ear
Infirmary where Dr. Marshall, assisted by
DIR. Brown, dressed the wound. Gould
was unconscious. The doctors said the
wound would probably prove fatal.
Deputy Hartnett as sooa as he was In
formed of the affair went to the In
Urinary, heard the officers story, who had
Investigated the matter. and took posses
sion of the revolver with which the shoot
ing was done. 1t was twenty-five
calibre.
Mrs. Gould has the reputation of being
hard working, industrious and capable
woman, devoted to her children, and
much respected by all who knew her.

LafcadiO early gave tokens of genius, and
his aunts, who were Roman Catholics, de-
cided to consecrate this gifted child to the
service of God. With this in view they sent
him to a monastic school in France. Here
he imbibed profound disgust for the sa-
cerdotal profession and became agnostic
1t was then that he gained that intimate
knowledge of the French language which
made him such delightful French writer.
News came that by reason of unfortunate
investments the fortune had been swept
away. To Lafcadio this meant little, but he
grieved for his aunts. The two old ladies

SO this youth of genius came to know

secured work on a New York paper, and
