THE BEAUTIFUL FLIES.
It Came Down in Plenty Round About
FIeetville.

Yesterday had a bad attack of cold
all over this region. The thermometer
al Phelps drug store showed 40 above
the zero or from the freezing point
during most of the day.
Everybody saw the snow, but every
body didn't see the snow on the noun
tains. Up at Fleetville, in Benton
township, a great storm was in pro-
gress in the aftcrnon. Snow covered
the ground to the depth of several
inches.
The residents of that vicinity were
caught very much unawares and be-
cause of this not a little damage was
done. The Pocono mountains, also
were bedecked with white.

Causing the Pave on Lackawannu

depression extending from the street
car track to the curb and about three
feet wide has been made.
Curiously enough the asphalt pave in
sinking did not crack, but formed into
a basin. Vehicles crossing this point
perform a very funny evolution, it may
be supposed.
Street Commissioner Dunning attrib-
utes the settling to the ceve-in of some

Would BE Suspected of such an Act.

Lay Dead in the House Several
Hours Before II Was Known--Fivc
Small Children Arc Left Fathericss.

A sad case of suicide happened on
the South Side yesterday morning
about 11.3O o'clock. Hugh Caffrey, of
S27 Hickory street, shot and killed
himself at his home with a 3S-calibre
revolver The bullet entered his fore
head just below the hair and a little
to the left of the median. or central,
line of the head. 1t crashed into the
brain, and the indications were that
death was instantaneous.
Although he committed the deed be-
fore noon, it was not known in the
house until nearly o'clock last night,
and at midnight many of the neigh
bors were surprised to hear of it.
The deceased was almost the last
man, the neghbors and all who knew
him, said. who would be suspected of
doing such a thing. He was about 36
years old, strong physically, was in
dustrious, and had not touched intox-
icating liquors for many years, and
rad comfortable home, and an in
teresting family of five children. The
Oldest of them is ~ years and the
youngest 4.
WIFE IN ILL HEALTH.
His wife, however, has not been in
good health for some time, and she
is now an inmate of the insane de-
partment of the Hillside Home, to
which place she was brought three
| months ago. Her case is a hopeful one
though, and 1t is expected that she will
be able to leave there at q period not
far distant. 1t is feared that the man
ner of her husbandr death may retard
her convalescence, if she should hap
| pen to hear of It.
Caffrey was employed in the Della
ware, lackawanna and Western car
! shops as a laborer He was a mill
| hand until the depression in the steel
! trade suspended operations at the
mills, then he sought other employ
| ment.
He did not work The past two days,
! on account of not feeling well, but
! prior to that he seldom complained and
worked as steadily as there was worn
for him. He was a quiet, unassuming
man, took pride in his home and family
and was ever anxious to see them COM

Since his wifes removal, a young

ing to the household duties. After the
older children were prepared for school,
yesterday morning, he sent the house
keeper to a relatives house and told
her not to be in any hurry back until
noon, that he would take a sleep ir
the front room, in which there was
small bed.
SENT HIS DAUGHTER AWAY.
She did as she was told, and tool
the youngest child with her. At re
cess time the oldest girl came up from
the school to the house and Caffrey
was then in the kitchen. He spoke tC
her endearingly and bade her go dowr
to the house of his brother-in-law ant
say that he wanted the little girl, thai
is the youngest child, to stay there.
1t is presumed that after she wen
away to do his bidding he went int
the front room and fired the shot tha
ended his life. At noon when tn,
