The attendance at the exposition OF

inclement weather. On decoration day
there was a fair crowd considering the
somewhat threatening weather. Yesterday
there were nearly 10000 people on the

r. Elmer Haley, aged about Is years,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas ID. Haley,
Of No. 1913 West Sixteenth street, died
early yesterday morning from the effects
of Il dose Of lludanum, taken, it is sup
posed, with suicidal intent. What time
he swallowed the laudanum is not known
but it was discovered that he WAS i'll
shortly before five O'Clock. DIR. John
Palmer was summoned at once and
worked on the young man trying to re
vive him for two hours. lie was past
medical aid, however, and died about
seven o'clock.
Those who knew of the sudden death
of the young man We're reticent last
night and exact particulars which led
to his death could not be learned. 1t
was stated, however, that bottle which
had contained laudanum was found in
pne of his pockets.
The Young man was employed at th"
furniture establishment OF James Me-
gary K son, Sixth and Tatnall streets.
4 short time ago an announcement of his
to Mabel Hyrons of No. s24

The local papers. The following day it
was denied Miss Hyrons graduated
month and young Haley, until recently,
was also Il pupil at the High School.
They are said to have been greatly
attached to each other and were seen
together great deal until a few DAYS
ago. 1t is rumored that Miss Hyrons
several days ago wrote to Haley re-
uucsting him to discontinue his visits to
her home. The young man after that
was said to be despondent and many
people think that it was probably the
cause of his rash act.
Miss Hyrons was seen at her home
"arly last evening by Il representative
of The sun. She said she had heard
of Mr.. Halcy's death but refused to talk
on the subject. She denied that she and
Young Haley We're married. Further
