COMMITTED
SUICIDE.

T. Elmer Haley, aged about IS years,
Son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas ID. Haley,
of No. 23l9 West Sixteenth street, died
early yesterday morning from the effects
of a dose of laudanum, 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. DR.. John
Palmer was summoned at once and
worked on the young man trying to re-
vive him for two hours. He was past
medical aid, however, and died about
seven o'clock.
Those who knew of the sudden death
of the young man were rcticent 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
one Of his pockets.
The young man was employed at the
furniture establishment OF James Me-
gary & Son, Sixth and Tatnall streets.
A short time ago an announcement Of his
marriage to Mabel Hyrons Of No. s2i
West Seventh street was made in one Of
the local papers. The following day it
was denied. Miss Hyrons graduated
from the Wilmington High School last
month and young Haley, until recently,
was also pupil at the High School.
They are said to have been greatly
attached to each other and were seen
together great deal until few days
ago. 1t Is rumorcd that Miss Uyrons
several days ago wrote to Hal-y re-
questlng 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
early last evening by 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 were married. Further
than that she would say nothing. When
asked if it was true that sho had writ
ten Mr.. Haley to discontinue his calls
she said: 81 have nothing to say" To
all other questions asked she gave the
same answer.
Thos d. Haley. father of Tho deceased.
WAS seen at bis home last night but would
make no statement in regard to his sons
death. The parents and relatives of
the deceased are almost proStratcd.
The young man was wellknown and
had a host Of friends among the young
people In this city Coroner Frck was
notified Of the case and will hold an in
quest.
The funeral will be held at 4 o'clock
tomorrow afternoon. Intnrmcnt will be
private at Mt. Salem cemetery.

Lace-A1akinR by Insane.

Lace-making as an occupation for the
women patients at the Rochester insane
asylum is now an established industry,
according to DIR. A. F. Kilbourn, super
intendent OF the institution. The doc
tor says that in the little time in which
the patients have been employed along
this line the most excellent result have
been obtained, and it is his intention to
extend the idea and enlarge the indus
try as rapidly as possible. Occupation is
essential to the people in the insane hos
pitals, and while farm work has been
sufficient for the men, there has always
been difficulty in providing the women
with work. This problem is now solved.
The lace produced is disposed of
readily to asylum visitors. Beside fur
nishing occupation, in several cases it
is believed 1t will furnish means of
gaining livelihood when the patients
are discharged.

STAGE COACH ROBBED.
Road Agents Operate in the Adiron-
dacks-Passengers Forced to
Give Up yalnables.

Glens Falls, N Y, Aug. 15.-The Blue
Mountain stage, loaded with summer
resort visitors, was held up in true
Dick Turpin style on the steep noun
tain side near North river Wednesday
afternoon, the robbers securing 81 900
in money and jewelry. Eight passen-
gers were aboard. five men and three
women. Two masked bandits, spring.
ing suddenly from the woods on the
mountain side, shot down the leaders,
who fell, tangling the wheel horses
in the harness and throwing the driver,
Bill Eldridge, an old-time stage driver,
in among the kicking horses. Four OF
the male passengers sprang from the
stage as the shots were fired, and, in
spite OF warning cries and shots fired
II their direction, escaped into the
brush.
The hIghwaymen treated the wom-
en- with utmost courtesy, and one OF
them remarked that no harm would
befaH them if they simply kept quiet
and handed over what available cash
they possessed, along with their
rings, watches and jewelry. The
women were scared, and one OF them
was seized with Mysteries as masked
highwayman poker his head through
the coach window and invited them
to step out. While one highwayman
covered the passengers with his rifle
the other went through their pockets
and collected money, diamonds and
jewelry. The mail pouches were
ripped open, and, in the presence of
the scared passengers, the highway
men opened all letters and pocketed
the cash. They then turned their at
tention to the express packages,
which were piled upon the coach.
These were opened, and several con-
tanning bills were taken away.
After the highwaymen had conclud-
ed there was nothing else in or about
the coach they retreated to the
woods, keeping the passengers COW
cred until they were out of sight.

PHILLIPS GIVES UP.
ceiver for His Firm-Condi-
tfon of His Affairs.

Chicago, Aug. 16.-A petition in
bankruptcy was filed Thursday in be-
half of the George III. Phillips COM
pany, and the Chicago Title & Trust
company was appointed receiver for
the corporation. The assets are $780,
900 and the liabilities from S225, 900
to S250,00o. The application for a re-
ceiver was made late in the afternoon
by three Of the largest creditors, at
the instance of the late 'corn king"
To place the company in better po-
sition Phillips filed the petition in
bankruptcy. The Chicago Title &
Trust company has filed bond for
S150.Ooo.
The accounts of the Phillips COM
pany show questionable manipula-
tions, and despite the efforts of four
experts who have worked for two
weeks and Of the auditing committee,
composed Of Phillips, C. B. Moore and
w. L. Sackett, they have been unable
to unravel the tangled condition of
the books. The accountants cannot
make the books balance, and no bal
ance had been taken off since January
1. As far as the experts have gone
there is said to be deficit of nearly
100000, which cannot be traced The
only way that the officials of the COM
pany ycanaccountfo fori is that the books
seem to have been ma nipulated. Certain
clerks are said to have speculated on
their own accounts, putting the poor
trades that showed losses down to the
house and taking the good ones that
showed profits to themselves.
