FOUR DIE TOGETHER.
Partisan Seamstresses Make Merry
and Then Commit Suic ide.

and Then Commit Suic ide.
Paris, July "a sensation has been
caused here by the remarkable suicide OF
-four seamstresses who lived in Rue du
FaubOurg Pooissonniere. The ages OF the
suicides ranged from twenty-five to seven
teen years. The husband of the eldest is
insane; another had been deserted by her
husband; the third had been Tilted by her
lover, while the youngest joined the others
out OF sympathy. They deliberately con-
cluded that life was not worth living.
After arriving at this conclusion they did
a days work, dined together in the even
ing at a restaurant and then returned 10
their home. Here they made merry with a
bottle of Kirschenwasser and wrote letters
TO their relatives. They jointly signed a
statement, saying:
I'VE die deliberately and without any
regret"
After thisthe ysealed the room and lighted
a bTazier OF charcoal, the fumes from which
killed them. Their bodies were found this
morning.

At Philadelphia, last Saturday
Captain John D. Hart, convicted re-
Gently of filibustering, was refused a
new trial by the supreme court and
sentenced to two years imprison-
ment, a fine of $500, and to pay the
costs of prosecution. Captain Hart
was taken to prison Immediately
after sentence was pronounced. The
costs of the prosecution are about
$1,000. Captain Hart is about 40
years Of age and has been in the
fruit importing business for nearly
20 years. Shortly after the Cuban.
Spanish war broke out he leased
two of his steamers, the Laurada
and Bermuda, to the Cuban patriots
for the transportation of arms, am.
munition and men to Cuba. Some
Of tho largest expeditions that
touched the shores of Cuba were
shipped on these vessels and their
departure was due in a great meas
ure to the skillful manipulation OF
the steamers by Captain Hart.
His family consists of a wife and
two daughters. Counsel for Captain
Hart have not yet decided whether
they will appeal to the United States
Supreme Court or present a petition
for pardon to President Nc Kinley
