INSOMNIA SUFFERER SOUGHT SLEEP IN DEATH.

Distress and sorrow entered another
household in this city yesterday. de-
liberate suicide caused the distress. The
suicide was Howard P. Carpenter of No.
1900 Washington street, aged about 2S
years. He was the son OF George H.
Carpenter, who for a number of years
was boss ship joiner at the yards of the
Harlan q Hollingsworth Company.
The means used by young Carpenter
to take hts life was by shooting. He
shot himself through the heart and death
must have been almost instantaneous.
Only one shot was fired and that with a
3S-calibre Winchester revolver. When
he committed the act he was laying on
the bed in his room with only his under
clothes on. His undershirt was burned
and only the rapid flow of blood pre-
vented the shirt from catching fire.

ordinance of the Council, passed August
10, 1899, the finance committee OF Coun-
Gil and the commissioners Of the sinking

ing fund bonds to the amount of S24, GOO
to provide for the payment OF city bonds
for like amount falling due on Septem-
ber /, 1899. The new bonds,we duly
advertised and bids for the same opened
on August 81, 1899. The highest bid re-
ceived was $l0S3l4 which was made by
@. H. Willie & Co., Bankers of New

awarded, and in whose name they were
issued and deposited in the Union
National Bank of Wilmington. White

bonds maturing on that day were paid
by the city treasurer out of the current
funds OF the city.
"After protracted negotiations it be-
came evident that White q Co. would
not accept the bonds unless compelled
to do go by process of law, and your
finance committee believing that the
revenues and income of the city for the
