Mary ROeh, Of Houston, Della

Man She Loved.
SHE FEARED
George Glass With Whom She Ii
in Philadelphia Saw Her Pre-,
pare the Deadly Dose---Her
Condition is Very
Critical.

Philadelphia, Pa, =, Jan. 3.--After al
quarrel with George Class, with whom
she has been living for some monthsI
past, Minnie Roach, pretty and yiyaci-I
GUS girl, eighteen years Of age, attempted
to commit suicide early this morning iIl
her room at No. 1898 Vine street.
The house is furnished rooms hou
and is kept by Mrs. Patterson. ABB
three months ago Class and the -
woman rented second story root
her, claiming to be man and wip
giving the name of Mr.. andy
Roach.
They seemed to be a quiet va
couple, and never gave MrE. Pattex
any trouble. The landlady though
we're living happily together, aDMsgQl
horror stricken when she was awakened
about half past 5 o'clock this morning
and told that the girl had attempted TO
commit suicide. The Eighth district,
police were notified, and the girl wasI
sent to the Hahnemann Hospital, wherel
the physicians state that her condition.
is serious.
Young Glass (he is not more thanl
twenty-five years OF age }, when seen thisI
morning, was decidedly ayerse to discns-I
sing the case, but finally consented ID
tell what he knew.
He said the girl's right name IL Mary
Roach, and that her home is at Houston
Station, Kent county, Del, and that hcr
father, Robert Roach, who is quite we'll
to-io. believes her married 10 q man by
the name Of Bridgeman, of thikity. As
q matter OF fact, he save, sbsa er WIS
married.
According to his story, he met kI.f
soon after she came to Philadelphia
April last, and soon persuaded hertz
with him as his wife.
| Last night he says they had party II
friends in their room, and they spent the
greater part of the night In talking and
drinking. He and the girl had dis
pute over some matter, and he threat
ened to leave her.
After sheir friends left the house be
says che reverted to their controversy,
and his remark that he would leave her.
After few words he says she took fe~
bichloride OF mercury tablets, and, dilnt
ing them in water, drank the mixturs
before he imagined her purpose or coult
prevent her accomplishing IL.
Glass seemed deeply affected by tn
girls act, and keenly regrets that it wa'
due, possibly, TO the fear that he wonie
leave her.

BISHOP COLEMAN ATTENDS
A MOST UNIQUE DINNER
Association of Old Members OF the
Protestant Episcopal Academy
Met Last Night.

Protestant EpiscOpal academy
Met Last Night.
Bishop leighton Coleman last night
attended the annual, dinner of the Old
Episcopal Academy Alumni at Union
League, Philadelphia. The organization
is known as the Association of the Old
Members of the Protestant Episcopal
Academy. There is an interesting bit OF
history connected with this association.
At the first annual dinner it was de-
cided from that on not to accept any ad-
ditional members. A bottle of rare wine
was corked in the presence OF the COM
pany, and amidst solemn ceremonies it
was dedicated to the last man who
should SURVIVE. That bottle has ap-
peared year after year on the banquet
table and the dustier its sides have be-
come and the MUSTER the contents the
wider have grown the gaps between the
banqueters.
That grim bottle appeared again last
night, and, following their annual cus-
tom, the surviving members walked
around it to the solemn measured steps
OF a dirge.
But there was melancholy mixed with
the mirth at tfie feast last night, for in
the fortv-three years Of its existence
many faces that beamed at former BAN
qutts have long since faded out alto
gcthcr. There are now only eighteen
members and three honorary members.
