snielde of a sprlngneld Roy.

Joseph Clissold, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Joseph Clissold, ST., of Springfield, employ
ed as cashier at the Hotel Hamilton in
IIolyoke. Mass, committed suicide in his
room at nolyoke Saturday night by taking
hydro cyanic acid, powerful and almost
instantaneous poison. Death must have
resulted quickly, for he was sitting on the
bed half reclining on the pillows when
found by his landlady. Medical Examiner
Holvoke decided that an autopsy was not
necessary. When DR.. Holyoke reached
the place between ~ and 1 o'clock the
body was cold and it is thought Clissold
committed suicide after returningfrom work
as the bed had been untouched. The only
reason that could be assigned for the deed
was dependency. He had complained of
not feeling well of late.

Fatally Shot While Crawling Through
Wire Fence.

Adna NJ Sibley, a Milton farmer, was
accidentally shot and killed Saturday. He
started out about o'clock in the forenoon
for the pasture east of his house, taking an
ak with him to mend the fences, also a gun
to shoot crows. He told his wife that he
might not be back until afternoon. He
had not returned at supper time, so his
son and a cousin started to look for him.
They found his lifeless body entangled in a
wire fence near the upper part of the pas
ture with the empty gun lying near. The
ball had entered his head below the jaw,
tearing his face nearly off. The gun had
evidently been discharged by the triggers
catching in the fence.

WOMAN'S SUDDEN DEATH.
Bridget Tobin Expired at the
Home of Mrs. William ].
Banks, Gibson Street.

Bridget Tobin, aged 90 years, dropped
dead yesterday morning at 10 o'clock
at the residence of Mrs. William j.
Banks, Ais Gibson street.
The woman was an utter stranger
to Mrs. Banks and had appeared at
her home on Tuesday evening. She
had a two weeks old infant with
her and asked for drink of wat
er. Mrs. Banks asked her to sit down,
as she looked tired and careworn. In
a short time she asked If she could
remain over night. Mrs. Banks COM
piled with her request and the woman
then told of her troubles.
She said that the baby had been
born in a Wilkes-Barre hospital and
that she had been endeavoring to place
the child in st. Joseph's Founding
Home, but had been unable to do so.
She left the house early yesterday
morning, saying she was going to make
another effort to place the child. She
left the infant in charge of Mrs.
Banks. When she did not return in a
reasonable length of time Mrs. Banks
became alarmed and left in search of
her.
In the meantime the woman re-
| turned. 1t was then about 10 o'clock.
She came into the house and sitting
| down complained of being i'll. a glass
| of water was brought her by one of
Mrs Banks daughters and after TAX
| ing a little of it she gasped and fell
! forward on the floor. Efforts made
to revive her were useless and she was
dead before the arrival of the Lacka-
wanna hospital ambulance, which had
| been summoned.
Coroner Roberts was sent for and
arrived in the afternoon. He made
an examination of the body and pro-
nounced the cause of death to be
uremia, the woman having suffered
previously from kidney trouble.
The remains were taken to the home
Of the womans brother, James Tobin
of 325 Fifth street. The deceased il
survived by three brothers, James and
! Patrick, of this city, and Michael, OF
Chicago, and by one sister, Margaret
| of White Haven, The funeral will bt

EXTENSION OF POPLAR sTHEET.
Conference in Mayors Office with
Reference to It.

There was conference in the
mayors Office yesterday, at which
Mayor Moir City Solicitor Vosburg,
President Zehnder, of the Nut and
Bolt works, and C. c. Mates, Of the
Lackawanna Iron and Coal company,
were present.
The subject under consideration was
the opening OF Poplar street across the
tracks of the Delaware and Hudson
company to the river, so as 60 give an
entrance to the plot on which the Nut
and Bolt works are located.
AS soon as work on the buildings for
the bolt works was commenced the
Delaware and Hudson put a fence
across Poplar street at the railroad,
which was in the nature of declara-
tion that the company disputed the
right to extend the street across the
tracks.
While the street was never formally
opened or dedicated to the public 1t is
on the Lackawanna Iron and Coal COM
pany's map and the city several years
ago laid a sewer in the ground intend
ed for a street all the way to the river
which is about a block west of the
Delaware and Hudson tracks and tbs
present terminus of Poplar street. Thi'
| expenditure OF money by the city, ii Is
| held, constituted q dedication of thC
street to public use and the Delaware
| and Hudson has therefore no right L
prevent its extension.
A formal opinion from the city sole
itor on the subject has been asked.

TRIO OF COMEDIANS.
They Are with William H. Vests
Big CompanY.

Big company.
In the formation Of his Big Minstrel
Jubilee this season William Fl. West
was particularly anxious To secure the
right kind of material to present aGe-
quately Negro minstrel burleslue and
it is his boast that his company con-
tains the three best Negro burlesque
actors in this country today in Car
roll Johnson, Tom Lewis and William
Henry Rice.
Carroll Johnson is so we'll known
that it seems hardly necessary to call
attention to his varied ability. He is
undoubtedly the most versatile actor
connected with Negro minstrelsy. He
has a splendid singing voice. is a
graceful dancer of exceptional skill
and has made his mark as an actor
in serious drama, being especially
successful in Irish characters. Tom
Lewis is a comedian of rare JUNCTION
and humor whose every movement
and every expression is always cCr-
tain to create a laugh. William Hen
ry Rice has no equal as a burlecqut
female impersonator. The ability Of
this great trio will appear to eXcep'
tional advantage in the concluding act
of the performance given by West'S
Big Jubilee Minstrels.
1t is a Negro burleslue on "Cyranc
de Bergerac,' arranged by William
