ST, LOUIS GIRL IS
DEAD At MILWAUKEE.
Miss Lillian ColcOrd Tried Il
Starye Herself in Sanitarium
Last Fall.

Advices received by The Republic Wednes'
day night from Milwaukee. Wis, announce
the death of Miss Lillian Colcord in a san
itarium at Riverside, a suburb of Mil
waukec.
Miss Co,cord was a former st. Louis CIR
and the daughter of the late Joseph P. Col
cord. at one time a wealthy member OF
the st. Louis bar. Her death was indirectly
due to the effects of exposure and nun
ger. which she suffered in an attempt to
starve herself to death while being treated
in the Riverside Sanitarium last October.
For nine days Miss Colcord remainei
hidden in a garnet in the sanitarum. with
no food or drink. save a pitcher of water,
while the sanitarium officials and her
friends searched for her through the sur
rounding country and dragged a nearby
stream. thinking that she had committed
suicide.
Miss Colcord was formerly a stenographer
IN the Wabash Railroad Offices in st. Louis,
but went to Chicago in 1886 to take Il posi-
ton. Upon the advice of friends, she went
to a private Sanitarium at Mount Clemens
Mich. last July for treatment. Meianchoiia
seemed TO be her ailment, and she constant
ly labored under the delusion thai she had
wronged some Of her frien6s. She was taken
to the Milwaukee sanitarium after she had
made several unsuccessful attempts at sui
eide.
Miss Colcord was 80 years old. Her father
was a member of the law firm of Colcord
& Nornile once we'll known in st. Louis.
Financial reve.ses overlook the firm. and
Colcord committed suicide. His death was
followed in a short tine by the suicide OF
his partner. Judge J. c: Normile. A brother,
Colcord, another brother, lives at Fulton,

Wednesday to Street Commissioners Varrel-

tory to make a good effect on constituents.
This ordinance, however, has been In the
House for many weeks, and Mr.. Temp is
anxious to make the improvements.
The following ordinances arc also held UP

RISING CONSISTENTLY.
Missouri Pacific Stock at Highes1
Point Since Gould's Death.

New York. March 20.-The boom in Mis-
souri, Pacific is the talk of Wall street to-
day. Since the first Of January the stock
has steadily gone, up from II till 1t reached
the highest point to-day-1O1.
This rise In Missouri Pacific Is looked up
on as marvellous. II is the first time 1t has
been above par since Jay Gould's death. 1t
has remained at a low figure until the last
two months.
In the meantime the other Gould securi-
ties have been forging ahead. and since
the first Of the year they nav advanced
to such an extent that the Goulds are now
in the first rank OF the richest families in
America. At the time of Jay Gould's death
his estate was estimated at $3.50 900. and It
Il now believed that the rise In the Gould
holdings Will increase the fortune to s,l5.-
100000 or more.
The rise IN the Gould securities, especially
the Missouri, Pacific. is due &c the reports
oe the consolidation Of many railroads in
the South. For the purpose Of bringing this
about. George Gould recently made an ex-
tended "trip.
The roads proposed to be consolidated are
the Missouri Pacific. Iron Mountain. Cotton
Belt. International and Great Northern,
Texas and Pacific anc the Wabash.

Grip, Committed Suicide in

Family Left His Room, as He Said

In delirium resulting from grip, William
Kaufman. % years old. of No. 1862 Olive
street, committed suicide at 7:30 o'clock
Wednesday night at his home. Standing
| partially dressed before a dresser mirror
he slashed his throat with a razor. %severing
! the jugular vein. Then. seemingly fearing
that this wound would not cause death, he
inflicted a deep cash in his left breast near
the heart.
F. ]. Neil, who lives at the same address.
which is the Olive Apartment-house, was
the first to discover what had happened.
He heard hoarse breathing in kaufman's
room, which Is across the hall from his
own. Going in, he found Kaufman out

his son Williams room after supper
Wednesday. At 7 o'clock. when it was time
for the young man, who was very weak
from sickness. to take medicine. his sister
attempted to induce him to swallow a cap
sule. but he seemed peevish and said he
was unable to take the medicine. He then
requested his family to leave the room, as
he wished to sleep. and they did so. AS
soon as he was alone, despite his weakness,
he arose put on his trousers and slipped
into his fathers room. where he procured
the razor. He then returned to his own
chamber and committed the deed.
kauffman's parents are positive that their
son was mentally unbalanced when he act
ed so desperately, as they say there was
no other possible motive. The young man
was employed by the Walter Flower Steam
Specialties Company in the Chemical build
ing, and had many friends.
