EPIDEMIC OF SUICIDE.
Three WeII.KnOwn Citizens OF Brad
ford County Become Tired
OF Life.

Towanda, March 25.--A curious epi-
demic of suicides seems to be prevalent
just now in Bradford county. Joshua
ID. Carpenter. of Athens, committed
suicide on Saturday morning last by
hanging himself in his house on the
banks of the Chemung river. He had
spent the night alone in the house, the
only other occupant-his son-being
away, and the body was found by II. Il.
Gllen, neighbor, at about $50 in the
morning. The body was not yet rigid,
showing that the deed was done that
morning. The body was found hang
ing in the stairway. He had tied a
towel around Il side rafter, doubled his
suspenders and tied them around his
neck, and then to the towel After do
ing this he had stepped off step and
strangled to death.
on Monday Patrick Mcmahon, aged
80 years. died at the OChs House un-
der peculiar circumstances. Early in
the afternoon he was sick at the bot
Ting works in the First ward. and later
at the hotel complained of his illness
and went to his room. Early in the
evening he was found to be in a dan
| gerous condition and a physician was
talk, but there was ample evidence
! that he had taken poison When asked
| if he had taken the poison accidentally
| he moved his head, but it was impossi-
| BILE to know what he meant. He lin
gered in great agony till half-past
| eleven o'clock. when death put an end
| to his suffering.
on the same day Harvey Campbell, a
middle-aged farmer living in Granville
| committed suicide by hanging himseli
| in his barn. Mr. Campbell had beer
| deranGcd for years and was confined il
| the insane deDartment Of the county
| house for several months, and was lat.
or taken To the asylum at DanVille
Here he remained until last fan, when
! upon the urgent entreaty of his wifi.
| ne was released. Although much i'm
proved, Mr.. Campbell had by no mean!
| recovered, and Of late has been very
despOndent and down hearted. Mon
day morning he was missed from tn,
house and his wife, i'm searching fo
him, found him hanging in the barn
She Summoned help and he was taliel
down but although he had been absen
from the house but Il few minutes, h
J was beyond help.
