GIRL TAKES HER LIFE.
Alice J. Kincaid Despondent Over
Falling in Reappointment
as Teacher
DRINKS OARBoLIC ACID AT HOME
Found in Her Room by Her
Mother, Dying Shortly
AfterWard.

Alice Jane Kincaid, the 19-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. W. A. Kin
csid, took her own life at her home,
1907 Fourth avenue, yesterday after
noon under very sad circumstances.
Shortly after O'Clock she went up
stairs to her room, and her mother
found her at about $3.50 in great
agony from the effects of a quantity
of carbolic acid she had swallowed.
She called her mother once, and when
Drs. w. H. Ludewig and II. H. Chase,
who were summoned, arrived, they
found her unconscious. All efforts
at resuscitation were of no avail and
death came at $50.
The family formerly lived in Mercer
county, removing here last February.
In the spring of last year Alice taught
the Camp Greek school southwest OF
Cable, and applied for the fall term.
Rarely Left the House.
Failing to secure the place, she be-
came Respondent and since the fami-
ly's removal here has rarely left the
house.
The quantity OF acid taken was less
than half an ounce of 80 per cent
solution, and is considered a small
amount to produce fatal results. 1t
was either taken diluted in water or
the bottle was placed far back in the
throat, for the tongue and lips
showed no marks that would other
wise have been left.
Seven brothers and sisters survive,
all living with the parents at home:
Clinton + , Warren W., James f q,
Charlotte NJ Gladys E., Glenn and
Esther.
Coroner Holds Inquest.
Coroner Eckhart this morning held
an inquest over the remains, the Jury
consisting CT w. A. Giles, foreman,
Harry NJ. Schriver, j. H. Ransom, j..
H. Cleland, j. Nj. Spur and 1. NJ.
Oliver. The verdict was that death
was due to poisoning from carbolic
acid administered by the hand of the
deceased with suicidal intent"
The remains will be shipped to
Cable tomorrow morning, leaving
here at $3.50. Funeral services will
be held at the Cable Congregational
church at 1880. Interment will be
made at SWedOna.

ford, contralto; +. e. Towne, tenor,
and A. w. Porter, basso-each one of
whom was enthusiastically recalled by
the audience. The orchestra is di-

DEATH IN EXPLOSION.
Two Killed and Five Injured in
Accident at Glucose
Plant.
BOILER BLOWS UP LAST NIGHT
Portion of Building Wrecked
Has Effect of Earth
quake.

Two men were killed and five in
iured in boiler explosion at the Glu-
cose works, in West Davenport, at
|s:15 last night. The dead:
JOHN COLEMAN, engineer.
DC COOK. fireman.
The injured are Victor KeiffeIt,
John and Carl Peters, Charles Dieber-
stein and John Wohl, all firemen. 1t
is expected all will recover, though
Carl Peters is still in a serious con-
dition.
The disaster is alleged to have been
caused by lack of water in the No.
boiler. The explosion was felt
for blocks many claiming the
shock extended across to this side of
the river. In all three boilers were
wrecked, the 12-inch pipe that sup
piled the plant with steam also burst
ing. The south portion of the boiler
room and the entire engine room were
wrecked, brick wall 80 feet wide and
two stories high falling in on them.
Under the Debris.
Of the injured men, who were got
ten out first, Keiffert was found lying
on top of box car alongside the
building. He was covered with
debris, but escaped with a few cuts
and bruises.
Reports from Dieberstein this after
noon are to the effect that his injuries
are more serious than at first sup
posed. He was painfully scalded
about the body and today was re-
moved to St. Luke's hospital.
The damage to the glucose plant is
about $13, 900.
