men Exercised on Bearing
of the Affair.

Disappointed in love Petro Morrello
tried to drown his sorrow with rough on
rats at 8 O'Clock last evening. .......5
MorreIlo was deeply infatuated with
Anna Vossel, u neice of james Davis ut
whose hotel At Market and Water streets
Petro aud Anna bntt, reside. Mr.. Davis
objected to the young mans suit and
the two men had suine words on tile
subject. ...... -...l
The lover has been morose ever since
and in u fit OF meiancholia decided tu
take his life. He accordingly went to
N. b. Danforth's drug store ut Second
anu Market streets yesterday afternoon
here he purchased fifteen cents worth
of the deadly poison called rough on
rats. Going back to Davis's place he
secured gla-s of water, took it into the
yard, swallowed the poison and retired
to his room to die.
He evidently repented of his rash deed
Jew minutes later, for when the poison
commenced to act lie sent word down
stairs that he was sick. One OF the men
who boards at the house, ran up and
found the man il great agony. Running
back the boarder sent Mr.. Davis up to
SET Petro, and on his arrival at the bed.
side lie was told by the sick man that he
had taken Rough on Rats and wanted a
doctor.
The patrol was summoned and con-
veyed the man to the Delaware Hospital.
After an examination he was pronounced
tu be in dangerous condition, and the
probabilities are that he will not re-
cover.
Italians OF all ages were running
around excitedly when it was learned
that Petro had taken poison. DAVIS
restaurant was sooii liiled TO overh ,wing
with large and eX lied crowd, who all
see ned to De talking at once.
Miss Anna Vessel, with whom Morrello
was in love, is only about 10 years Of
age, and a nicesloaking and intelligent
young woman. She did not seem to care,
it is said, tor the attentions paid her by
Morrello, for he is about twice as old as
SHE
Petro wanted to marry the girl and
her uncle objected to his aspirations, and
it was after the young man had been
told plainly that he must give up all
hopes Of winning Anna for his bride,
that he tried to shift this mortal coil and
find if possible place where bright
sunny faces and sparkling black eyes
would cease to madden him.
Petro Morrello ls well-known Italian
and is an Industrious fellow, working
either at morocco shops or as laborer
on the railroad. Many persons are ac-
quanted with the man as Shorty" for
he gets that name oftener than his right
one.
Mr.. Davis when seen last evening re-
fused to discuss the affair, but he ad-
nlitted that Morrello was in love with
Anna, and that he did not favor Nor
rello's suit. He refused to give Annals
name, seeming to dread the idea Of pub
liCity.
