'Mr. McCullagh was tired of living

Hughes, his family physician. she
gave no premonition of suicide during
his illness. l saw him for a little
while last evening. He said he felt
sleepy and gave me to understand he
wanted me to leave him alone. Then
his brain was affected, but his intel
lect was all right. lie never gave any
signs of mentei breakdown during his
illness. He suffered from profound
nervous exhaustion, complicated with
a recurring kidney trouble. He had
an asthmatic affection In addition.
The late campaign undermined his
health"
No writings were found in Mr.. Nc
Cullagh's room explaining his act or
leaving instructions for the arrange
ment of his affairs after death.
Mr.. McCullagh's illness came on him
shortly after the close Of the late Re-
publican national convention. 1t took
the form of acute asthma. compli-
Gated with nervous depression. When
he passed through the acute stage he
found himself slow in recovery. His
limbs had lost their vigor. his arms
, were numb and there were Fremont
tions that the brain had come under
the same shadowy spell. He would
not admit that he was failing either
physically or mentally, and insisted
on managing his newspaper from his
bedroom. All through the day he sat
in his chair wrapped in blankets, re-
ceived reports from his subordinatcs
and gave them orders for the conduct
If the paper.
A TWICE TURNED ON.
just before midnight Mrs. Manion
went into Mr.. M~cCullagh's Dom to in
luire how he was, as had been her
custom for some time past, and found
the gas streaming from one of the
burners and Mr.. McCullagh in a semi,
conscious condition. She Immediately
stopped the flow. aired the room and
aroused Mr.. McCullagh, and then,
with an admonition to be more care
full, retired to her own room. This
morning, after the body had been dis
covered, it was found that the gas was
againg flowing with almost full force.
The conclusion is reached, therefore
that after his sister-in.law lift him fol-
the night he deliberately turned thu
gas on again, but finding death too
slow by that means, opened the win
dow and plunged headlong to the pave
ment below.

Franklin's Lost Lead Mine.

The proposed opening of lead mines at
Lubec has revived the story of Franklin's
lost lead mine, somewhere in the noun :
tans west of Tunk pond
Ten years ago quantities of lead were
found there by Stinson Hooper, who was
hunting, A forest fire had swept over a
large portion of the country, leaving Moth
ing but charred timber and in some places
it had entirely burned the soil, leaving
nothing but the bare ledge The fire had
swept this section in springtime, so that
the tender BURBERRY bushes and clover
that sprang up made it quite a feeding
ground for deer in the autumn months.
Mr.. Hooper had killed a fine buck deer
while on one Of his trips. He was some
what exhausted from his long tramp and
sat down upon an old charred windfall.
While seated there he began poking flat
surface Of what he supposed was a rock,
without any thought of making a discov-
cry. The gun barrel seemed to make the
surface Of the stone shine and he began
to examine it closer. He found it was
lead, and began to cut it with his lack
knife. Then he noticed seam in the
rock from which the metal had flowed
when the forest fire was raging. He took
the ramrod from the old army rifle and
pried up platter like surface that would
weigh two pounds or more. He followed
the seam for a hundred feet or more, and
in several places found other spots where
the heated lead had melted and leaked
out.
Several of the easiest pieces to dislodge
he pried out and started for the settle
ment to make his find known, intending
to return with party for his slaug htered
deer, which he left as a mark. But Mr..
Hooper did not return for the deer, or to
show his lead mine. He had left the
specimens for public inspection in the
corner store and told his story, when he
was taken sick, so could not act as guide.
He gave to Franklin people the location
as near as he could tell, and, as one of
the prospecting party said, ''he would
not send us on any tomfools errand'
Soon afterward Mr.. Hooper died but
the story of his hunting trip lived and
still is held as truth by members of the
party who followed his instructions.
Many leading citizens of Franklin have
prospected since then. All have found
lead, but not in paying quantities. One
of the party says he is full of confidence
yet He thinks that if man could find
the spot where Stinson Hooper sat after
shooting that deer, there would be real
lead mine in Franklin. Ellsworth
