SUICIDE IN
 NEW DECATUR
Joseph St. Clair, a Railroad
 Evangelist, Kills Himself.
WAS DRINKING IN SALOON
When He Remarked That He Was Go- ing to Shuffle Off the Mortal Coil and Proceeded to Put
 His Words Into Effect.

Decatur, November 23.-(Special.)-A gen. sation was created in New Decatur this af- ternoon by the suicide of Joseph H. St. Clair, aged 30, railroad evangelist.
 St. Clair, in company with one of the county bailiffs, was drinking in Laude's sa- loon about 3:30 o'clock. when he remarked to his companion that he was going to commit suicide. No attention was paid to what he said, as 1t was supposed the pow der he had just put in a glass of beer was drug of some kind to sober up on, he having been on a spree for several days. Half an hour later, while sitting by the stove in the saloon, he fell from his chair. Medical aid was summoned immediately, but too late to save him, as he only lived a short time after the morphine took effect.
 St. Clair came here about seven weeks ago from Salem, Mo-, and was married last Wednesday to Miss Florence Farmer. It is said he also has a wife in Fulton, Mo-, and it is supposed that thin fact was about to leak out, which caused him to take refuge in a suicides grave.

on the brass stand was levelled on the dis- tant boats. I looked through it. There could be no doubt that one or more lives had been lost. The yachts were now comz ing with their flags dropped in mourning. The movements of a stalwart figure In the stem of one of the boats seemed familiar to me. My very pulses stopped. The instant was terrible.
 Ut is not true!' I cried-"is not. true. Cecil is not drowned. Run the flag to the top of the mast! There; steady
 There was a glad shout from ten thous- and men and women crowding that shore, for the great old stars and stripes floating proudly from the top of the consulate was sign to all of them that Cecil. beloved by all of that great throng, had not passed from earth. ss-si-. .'. f' .--
 The flag was kept up for five minutes to reassure the crowd and then 1t slowly came down half way, where it stopped and where it f1uttered until the real dead had been laid away in the old churchyard over the hill.
 The dinner? Oh, to be sure! That was long before the accident down the harbor. It was the happlest of all imaginable din- ners. Cecil and I were the only Ameri- cans. My health was proposed, and Cecil shouted, Hear, hear" and so did the oth- CTS. They were so kind to me. Jack told two stories; Charlie told one story and sung one song twice; Harry sung two songs; the major couldn't sing. but swore he was never before so happy, and he looked it; Dick couldn't sing. neither could Freddy; but both were jolly. Jere wept that there was no song in him, and the Flapper told five stories hand-running. Then there was much laughter -and-well, it was the happiest time over the walnuts and the wine.
 The turkey? They said 1t was the best they had ever tasted.
 The next year, and the next, and the next I received in by bedroom big, fat turkey, sent in the same mysterious man. ner as came the first. And on each occa- sion there was a feast, and at each my guests were the same.
 One morning years after that first dinner, George came again into my room, as he had so often come, and he aroused me from my sleep.
 'If you please, sir, Old Mahony the pen-

sioner, Is dead. Died last night"
 "I am sorry, George-very sorry. Poor old man-poor old soldierl''
 There was silence as George stood with his hand on the door-knob.
 "George?"
 'Yes, sir.'
 Don't you believe that Mahony was a good old man?
 Indeed he was, sir-the Blessed Virgin rest himi'
 "Go you then and ask MT. Cecil for money and go up to Cork Take my card with you and have it attached to nice wreath, which you will obtain from Miss Murphy's shop in Patrick street Send -itv to Old Mahony's lodgings and attend hiss funeral in my name."
 "Yes, sir. But if you please sir?' r 'Well, what 1t is?'' .4
 If you please, sir, it's been Old Mahony that's heen sending you the turkey every Thanksgiving" \

 The explosion took place in the packing house and was SC terrific as to be heard and felt a distance of 25 miles. The exact cause of the explosion will never be known. as all tho men in the packing house at the time were blown to atoms. Something like 10000 pounds of powder was usually kept in the packing bcuse.
 During the day men were engaged with buclso gathering up such bits of flesh and bones as they could find. A piece of spinal column was found half a mile from the scene of the explosion.
 Those who were injured were employed in another building. They were struck by flying debris, but none of them is fatally injured There is always some loose pow der on the floor of the packing room, and it is supposed that something was dropped upon it that caused it to explode.
