Suicide OF a Beauty.

Trenton, n. j., May 9.-Because the
man with whom she was il love had
apparently forgotten her, Rosa Rudolph
yesterday swallowed dose of carbolic
acid with fatal effect A few years ago
Miss Rudolph was one OF the most
beautiful young women in Trenton.
She became q successful lobbyist, and
her influence with the lawmakers in
creased until she capitulated to the ad.
v.nces of one OF them, who established
her in luxurious quarters in Philadel-
phia. 4 few days ago Miss Rudolph
came to Trenton to visit friends. She
was to have returned home yesterday
afternoon, and expected money from
Philadelphia in the morning mail. But
it failed to arrive, and Rosa unsuccess-
fully attempted to asphyxiste herself in
her room. a few hours later she went
to drug store, and, purchasing ten
cents worth of carbolic acid and laud-
anum, walked outside and swallowed
the dose. She died at the Mercer Hos
pital. At the time of her death she wore
diamonds to the value of several thou.
sand dollars. The afternoon mail
brought the money that would have
saved the Woman's life.

THE MAY CONVENTION.

The May convention meets in Rich
mond tomorrow, and much uncertainty
is felt as to what action the convention
will take.
Resolutions will be passed declaring
in favor of the election of Senators by
the direct votes of the people, and for
some popular method of making nomi-
nations. Steps will also be taken to
put into practical operation the princi'
Piles that will constitute the platform.
There are some men in the move
ment who favor asking the State COM
mittee to call convention for the pur-
pose of nominating candidate for Sen
ator. They would have the delegates,
as far as practicable, elected by pri-
maries. Some oppose the convention
idea, and will be satisfied with nothing
short of general primary election,
and direct vote for the candidates.
In the event it should be decided TO ask
the committee to call convention,
and the committee should refuse to do
so, efforts will then be directed toward
securing primaries, in order to instruct
the democratic candidates when they
are nominated for the legislature. The
convention will certainly name no can
didate for the Senate, but as the re-
suit of the movement, it is expected
that some one will come out in opposi-
ton to Mr.. Martin,
The promoters of the conference held
8 session last night, which was attend
ed by Congressman Jones, Clagett,
J. G.. Parker, of Franklin; W. F.
Reddy, member of the legislature from
Richmond; Maj. Anderson, and others,
at which series of resolutions was dis
cussed until midnight. The meeting
then adjourned until tonight, when
full attendance of all the signers of the
call is expected. The resolutions were
simply confined to a declaration in
favor OF electing Senators by the peo-
pie and did not suggest any plan of &C.
tiou.
Thera was general sentiment
among those present that the confer.
ence will suggest primaries in the leg.
