WEALTHY WOMAN A SUICIDE.
Threw Herself Into the Ocean at
Atlantic City, N. j.

Atlantic City, n. j., Jan. S0.-Mrs. VIII
liam ]. Mayer, aged 81 years, wife of a
wealthy wholesale tobacco dealer of Lib
erty street, Pittsburg, committed suicide
to-day by jumping into the ocean from
Youngs pier, at the end of Tennessee
avenue.
Mrs. Mayer has been here about ten days
in the hope of improving her health. There
seems to be no doubt that her i'll health
produced melancholia and prompted her
to end her life.
Mr.. Mayer has been telegraphed for and
will arrive tomorrow.
The fatal leap was taken shortly after
the noon hour. Mrs. Mayer and her maid,
Miss M E. Horn, had been on the pier for
some time, and We're on their way to the
Homehurst Hotel, where they were stop
ping. Mrs. Mayer was apparently i'm good
spirits About midway on the pier the
maid turned to look at a distant object
when she heard a rustic of skirts, and
turning about again saw Mrs. Mayer
throw herself against the rail- and by a
deliberate movement unbalance herself so
that she fell headlong into the sea.
Mrs Mayer uttered no sound as she
fell and made no struggle to keep ahoat
A boat was lowered and the body brought
ashore. Doctors were at hand, but after
an hours work there was no signs of re-
suscitation. The stomach yielded no more
Than pint of water and the Inference is
that the shock from the cold water killed
the woman almost instantly.
Previous TO her arrival here she had been
under treatment for nervous prostration
at private sanitarium in Philadelphia

How Lord Compton Stole His Sweet
Heart From Home.

Alice Dryden, describing Compton Wynn
gates, in Pail Mall Gazette
The story runs that Lord Compton fell
in love with the only child of Sir John
Spencer. one of the most opulent of Lon
don's merchant princes. proverbially known
al the time as "Rich Spencer" Sir John
by no means approved of the advances of
the young courtier, and positively refused
his consent to the marriage; the course of
true love however, never running smooth,
Lord Compton devised a plan to outwit
Sir John and carry off his lady love- A
bride to the baker enabled him TO disguise
himself and deliver the loaves one morn
ing; as soon as the basket was emptied
the lady got in, and Lord Compton was
boldly carrying his precious Toad down
stairs, when he was met by Sir John, who,
luckily not recognizing him, gave him a
slx-pence as a reward for being so early,
observing that that was the way to thrive
On discovering the truth Sir John was so
angry that he disinherited his daughter
and the quarrel was only made up through
the Intervention of Queen Elizabeth, who
invited him to stand sponsor with her for
a child, whom she promised to adopt-to
find that it was his own grandson.

genoe of double tragedy which was en-
acted az that place Saturday night IL
states briefly that Hyde Delacy had shot
and killed Armour Riley and had then
taken his own life a few moments after
ward.
From ali that could be learned of the
particulars of the affair it seems that a
party Of young people had been INDUCING
in snow-balnng during the day. Deiacy
became offended at something Riley had
said, and while the two were in store
at night the subject was brought up by
Delacy Riley attached no Importance
20 the matter and took it as joke.
Delacy was terribly in earnest, however,
started home, he went into the store, and
securing a gun he fired one barrel at the
young man, who fell and expired in a few
minutes. Delacy was drinking al the time,
but his rash act seemed 90 sober him
up, and he at once realize what he had
done. Going back into the store, he shot
himself in the neck. He fingered about
two hours after the tragedy, when death
came TO his relief.
Both young men are Of good family aud
stand high in che community. Riley was
a son of Mr.. T. p Riley of Russell coun-
~ and was about "a years Old. Delacy
was a nephew of J. NJ. Delacy, a we'll
known merchant and farmer of Hatche-
ehubbee. He was about IS years old and
unmarried. The sad tragedy cast a gloom
over the entire community, where the par
ties resided, and much sympathy is felt
for the families Of the two men.
