BRIDGEPORT, Conn. Oct, 9.-After a fight with
Reinhold Mayor. a young provision dealer Of
this city, killed himself In his store this morn
ing by drinking chrbolic acid. Mayors store Is

of Charles Reed. Early this morning Mayer
went into Reeds store. He had a long, keen
edged butcher knife in his hand.
I'm going to end it all now, Charley. I'm
going to kill myself, he said.
Mayer did not Beem to be excited. and Reed
thought he was in fun. Still, Reed decided TO DO
on the safe side, and he said to Mayer:
"Give me that knife"
Mayer handed him the knife and loft the store.
In ten minutes he returned. He was very ex.
cited and tremblcd from head to foot.
a, I bs sb s!1%i ~ ,w 40 it r%r i bottle. he said to Reed
"That's what will end all my troubles In q
minute" he added.
Reed grabbed Mayer and called to Tom Cole
man who WAS In the store for assistance. Mayer
fought both mon desperately. and prevented
them from getting possession OF the bottle. At
last he threw both men from him and started to
door and drew the cork from tho bottle. As no
placed II to his lips he said: "6ood-hy. boys."."
Reed and Coleman dashed forward. but were
too late. MAYER swallowed two ounces Of car
bolic acid. Before physicians could reach the
scene he had expired.
Mayer was only rs years old. He had good
business prospects,. He was married about two
years ago against the objection of his parents
and since that time tho relations bet ween him

Mr.. Thomas to tho contrary notwith-

Of the State Of Ohio by Gov. Mckinley

tho great railway systems Of the State of
ohio, and shows that he has wonderful
administrative aud executive ability,
such as is able to carry tho Black Dia-
mnnd to completion. If after this state

then nothing will satisfy them and they

tho money for surveys, rights OF way, OK

Now, Mr.. Editor, if tie doubters will
let those alone who are willing to take
hold Of this enterprise we may be able to
accomplish something.
we'll remember few years ago how a
few OF our smart men laughed over the
idea OF a little town, scarcely numbering
100 men, in Greenwood, when they set on
project the building of the Augusta and
Knoxville Road, whose perqnisites Mr..

gethor and made Greenwood one Of the
