REMARKABLE FACTS
Brought to Light Regarding the Sui
 eide of Mrs. Marx-Aveling.

London, January 2.-Some remarkable facts have developed regarding the suicide Of Mrs. Marx-Aveling fast March. It ap- pears that she learned that Dr. Aveling the German socialist leader, with whom she had lived for a number of years, had se- cIetly married young lady. He admitted that this was true and intimated that he was tired of her, whereupon Mrs. Aveling said the best thing she could do was to commit suicide. pr. Aveling it further ap- pears, allowed her to send to drug store for poison and went out walking while she drank it. The public prosecutor would have taken action in the matter but for Dr. Ave lng's sudden death on August Hast.
 Mrs. Eleanor Marx-Aveling was the daughter of the late celebrated German socialist leader, Karl Marx. When quite a young girl she studied Shakespeare and when she grew up she helped her father in his literary labors. After her fathers delth she was understood to have married pr. Aveling and came with him and with Herr Leibknecht, the German socialist leader, to this country in 1886. They addressed a meet ing of socialists anarchists and co.nmun, sts in New York and made a lecturing tour though the country. She committed suicide by taking prussic acid.
