JOSEPH CoMoLLI
Tries to Commit Suicide at Concord,
N. II,

Joseph Comolli, an Italian stone
cutter we'll known in this city, at
tempted suicide at Concord, N. H.,
where he was visiting with his wife
and children.
Comolli worked in Concord until
business became dull and he was
obliged to remove to Vermont. He
has been steadily employed at his
trade for two years. His family re-
lations have been smooth, and his act
is ascribed to temporary insanity.
He had been troubled for a week
with sleeplessness and had taken pow
erful drugs to overcome the attendant
conditions, which, acting together with
an overworked and rundown system,
brought about dependency.
The victim complained that morn
ing, of feeling strangely. He spent
most of the day in the company Of his
brother-in-lav, George Heath, whom
he eluded at O'Clock.
Twenty minutes later Comolli was
found on the b. & M. railroad bridge
with wound in his head from a pis-
tol which he purchased just before
self destruction. The man is at the
hospital and physicians say he may re-
cover. He is an Italian, but native
of Richmond, Va. Several years ago
Comolli had an attack of melancholia
but it was very mild in comparison
with his condition of the past week.
He resided on sS Seminary St..

A DEATH TRAP
Tenement House in Newark
Burns This Morning
FIFTEEN LIVES LOST
They Were Mainly Children.
. Fire was Incendiray.

Newark, N. J. March 12.-Fifteen
persons a majority being children,
were burned to death in an italian
tenement this morning. Thirteen
bodies have been recovered. The build
Ing was veritable fire trap. 1t was
formerly church and was transform
ed into tenement house with lots of
small rooms, scarcely eight by ten
feet large. 1t was in the heart of the
Italian district.
There was great excitement which
was intensified when it was learned
that the fire was of ineendiary origin.
Men and women crazed with grief
were rushing around the streets look
ing for the man who was responsible
for this awful crime, and threatening
all sorts of dire vengeance. There
were sixty persons in the building, fifty
of them being children. Many jumped
from the third story. The flames
spread with frightful rapidity. The
place was roaring cauldron when the
the tiremen arrived. Every room in
the house contained victims. Few
were really burned to death but were
mostly smothered.
Vito Credavo has been locked up in
the station on suspicion of setting the
fire. He was arrested on the state
ment. of Vatginia D. Plaza, who said
he was awakened by smoke and found
Credavo and his family fully dressed
and ready to leave the building.

QUINCY SYNDICATE.
Quarry Combine Considered an As
sured Fact.

Quincy, Mass, March 12.-It is
now quite certain that the quarry syn
dicate, of which there has been more
Or less talk for several months past,
will become an assured fact in the
near future. In fact March Is, should
see the company doing business.
With such an undertaking, con-
siderable time was necessarily requir-
ed to perfect the plans. There were
many things that constantly came up,
of which the public could not know,
that continually delayed matters, and
at times it seemed that the proposed
plan had or was about to fall through.
Those who had been instrumental in
forming the company have however
always held that the company would
be 60.
From what can now be learned, it
is believed that March Is will see the
new company in control Of large
part of the quarries of Quincy.
Meetings of the Lyons Granite Co.
the Blue Hill Granite Co. and the
Quincy Quarry Co. have been held and
each have voted with but little oppo.
Stion to transfer their stock to the
new company.
Much of this stock has already pass
ed into the hands of the new company
and the balance will probably be
transferred before the fifteenth.
Just what the plan of the new compa-
ny is, has not been made public as
yet, but the promoters promise to
give the publishers everything in due
time. Quincy Ledger.

Lord Roberts Found His. Path
Clear This Morning
FIRED ON TRUCE FLAG
1t is Charged the Beers Used
a White Flag to Decoy
Officers to Death

London, March 12.-The war Office
maps show a group of kopjes and 6
large water pan at Dreifontein, po'
sition which has apparently consider
able defensive advantages. The Bo-
ers who retreated to Abraham's S Kraal
from Poplar Grove must have moved
southwards or else fresh force must
have come from BloemfOntein or the
Orange river.
The opposition met at Dreifontein
was somewhat unexpected, the idea
being that, if there was any resist
ance, it would be at Petrusberg.
Protiting by their experience the
Beers were prepared for British
hanking movement, but in extending
their position in order to avoid being
outhanked, they probably weakened
their center, thus making it possible
for the British infantry tp carry this
with bayOnet charge.
Lord Roberts dignitied protest
against the abuse of the white flag is
regarded as the most important fact
of the situation. According to the
accounts supplied by the correspon-
dents, the instance appears to have
been most fragrant, and there is no
doubt that Lord Roberts will carry
his threat into execution.
There is no confirmation OF the
rumors of the raising of the seige Of
Mafeking, concerning whii1Eshe grau-
est anxiety continues to be felt.
The British reported casualties up
to this date are as follows:
Killed, 2418; wounded 4347; died of
