neighbor, to get him to stay up with
her husband until morning.
Mr.. Grenon did as requested, and re-
manned with her husband until 5
o'clock this morning, when Mr.. Du-
mas arose, 50 that Mr.. Grenon could
return home.
Mr.. Dumas staid up all night, and al
though he did not appear well, never
theless seemed to be in his right mind
and talked very nationally. The home
of Mr.. Dumas is situated in Upper Wire
Village, directly opposite the carpen-
ter's shop which is used by the Spen-
Ger Wire Company. The residence is
small one-story house, the kitchen
being in the cellar, while there is a
sitting room, parlor and bedroom on
the ground floor, which is the only one
of the house.
Mr.. Dumas remained nearly all last
night in the sittingroom on the south
side of the house, and it was in this
room that the suicide occurred.
At about 545 o'clock Mr.. Dumas told
his wife that he was hungry and re-
quested her to go down stairs and pre-
pare the morning meal Mrs. Dumas
proceeded Immediately to the kitchen,
where she had been scarcely five min
uteS when she heard the report of a
revolver up stairs. The frightened lady

screaming and crying at the top of
her voice.
Her screams attracted the attention
of the neighbors, all of whom We're
soon present. Mrs. Dumas told them
excitedly of what she had heard. Paul
Moran, Silas Perry and Edward Gre

Into the sitting room, where to their
great surprise, lay the body of their

Mr.. Grenon had left scarcely an hour
before.
The body lay directly in the centre
of the room with the head directly to-
wards the east. The legs We're crossed,
and the arms lay close beside the
body. Directly beside the right arm
was brand new 32-calibre revolver,
which told the terrible tale. Blood was
gushing forth from d bad wound di-
rectly in the centre of the forehead
where the bail had entered. The hole
was round and very clear cut
The bullet undoubtedly from the po-
sition of the wound, passed through
the brain, and caused death instan-
taneously. The bullet hole was in ex-
actly the same place as that in the
forehead of Mr.. Hammond A large
pool of blood could be seen on the sit
ting room floor, where the head lay
Soon after the body was discovered,
Medical Examiner E. w. Norwood was
summoned, and soon after the shoot

the result of suicide, the bullet hav-
ing undoubtedly passed through the
brain. He also thought that Mr.. Du-
mas was without doubt temporarily
insane at the timei Of his suicide.
The shock of the suicide was ter
rible one to Mrs. Dumas and children.
and the entire family is nearly pros
trated over the terrible affair. Mrs.
Dumas can give no cause whatever for
her husbands unexpected act, as he is
a very sober man. and also "A very
happy one, being an affectionate hus-
band and a loving father.

before the association on "The Relations of
Trustees and Librarian" his views having
been gathered from a service of over thirty
four years as a trustee. They both reported
that the meeting was q most interesting one
and the librarian gathered a number of use
full ideas which will be Of practical benefit
to the local library.
In accordance with the report of the COM

continue the circulation Of magazines among
the patrons of the library, but in place an
extra number will be kept for those who
desire to read them in the library rooms
Last month the circulation Of magazines was
403 copies
AS the work of classifying and rearrang
ing the books and pamphlets in the room set
apart for the United States government pub
locations materially increased the labors OF
the librarian and her two assistants, the
board made an appropriation of SIS to
partially recompenee them, the amount to
be divided pro rata among them.
The report of the librarian for October
showed the following statistics: Number of
visitors, 5,125 visitors on Sundays. 204;
number of booktakers, S,271; number Of
books taken, 4,497, classified as follows:
Philosophy, 81; theology, Al; natural science,
107; fiction, 1899; poetry and essays, 167;
history and biography, 4O7; travels, 3S9;
number of books in circulating library on
November /, 1876; in government library.
1892; total, 22,26S.
The report of the finance committee
showed that 81, ,2sS.61 had been received dur
ing last month from the county treasurer
and that the balance in the treasury on No
vember 1 was $2.26576.
The usual number of magazines were do
mated to the Woman's Christian association
and st. Bernard's hospitals and to the county
Jail.
