WOUND IN HIS THROAT
E. n. MoRSELL SUFFERING FROM
sELF-INFLIcTED CASH.
Discovered by His Clerk With Blood
Streaming From Cut-His Mind
Affected

Edwin H. Morsell, about forty-nine years
old, was taken to the Emergency Hospital
about noon today, suffering from a stab
wound in the throat. His condition is Sc
rious, although the doctors think he will
recover. The wound is said to have been
self-inflicted while Mr.. Morsell was alone
in a room in the rear of his place Of bust
ness, 11O9 It'll street northwest where ne
has conducted the hardware business for a
number Of years. Mr. Albert L. Johnson,
head clerk in the store, entered the room
and found his employer with blood gushing
from the wound in his throat. There was
no weapon found in the room, according to
statements made by persons in the store.
The surgeons at the hospital are satisfied
that Mr.. Morsel used knife.
AS soon as Mr.. Johnson discovered his
condition he ran to the door and summoned
assistance. A druggist in the neighbour
hood responded with a quantity of alb
sorbent cotton and stopped the flow of
blood. In a few minutes the ambulance
from the Emergency Hospital reached the
store. Morsell walked to the vehicle with
out Offering word of explanation. When
the hospital was reached and the patient
was placed upon the operating table he
had an epileptic fit, and this rendered his
condition more serious. After the surgeons
had dressed the wound the patient was
placed in a ward where he will probably
remain several days.
The wound inflicted was rather deep, and
was about an inch long. DR.. Stuart the
resident physician at the hospital, reports
that the patients mind was apparently af
fected. 1t is believed by the doctor that
the deed was committe while the unfor-
tunate man was suffering from an attack
of epilepsy. 1t is stated that Morsell cut
his throat several years ago while he was
on New York steamboat He is unmar-
red and is a son of S. r. G. Morsell. one
of the assessors of the District of Column
bia.

FOUND IN THE RIVER.

The body of Martin Tierney was
found in the river about twenty feet
below the trestle over the Central
Vermont bridge, near the stone shed
of Charles Ryle, at 80 on Saturday,
by George Patterson, foreman of the
bridge gang, and his men who have
been at work for some days repairing
the trestle.
For two days several of the men
employed on the bridge persisted in
saying that the odd looking object
was dead body but Mr.. Patterson
thought it was log with forked
limbs, the legs being spread apart so
as to give that impression. This
morning the men persisted in ascer-
tanning just what the object was and
discovered that it was man. The
body was towed to the shore and Sc
cured pending the arrival of the au-
thOrltieS. The remains were iden-
titled as those of Martin Tierney
well known in this city, being former
ly farmer in Waitsfield, and having
three brothers, William of Middle
sex, John of Moretown and Thomas of
Waterbury,
y Those who knew the dead man say
that he was subject to fits. He had
been in Barre quite frequently the
past week and it is believed that he
fell from the bridge while in a fit
There were no bruises of consequence
upon the face but a bad scalp wound
on the back of the head. Although
the man was known to have been in
the habit of carrying quite sum of
money at times, none was found up
on his person Upon the little finger
OF the right hand was plain gold
ring.
Drs. Lindsay and Chandler per-
formed an autopsy upon the remains
that afternoon and state that their
examination shows that the man met
his death by drowning. The remains
were taken to Richmond where funeral
services were held.

Seldom is young man so widely
and sincerely mourned as he whose
sudden death was announced last Sat
urday. OF spotless reputation, most
devoted son, faithful friend, an hum

can be said of one who has departed? !?
Those who knew him best loved him
most. The large congregation and
the many fearful eyes at his funeral
testified to his integrity and worth.
And such testimony is more than
written or spoken eulOgy.
The blow was sudden, which, in youth
and strength
Cut short his life. How well that a

FATAL ACCIDENT.

While John Mcclellan and another
workman were engaged in raising a
large piece of granite by means of a
derrick at the quarry of Barclay
Bros, at Graniteville ON Saturday,
Mcclellan was caught between two
blocks of granite and instantly killed
The two men were passing chain
under the stone, which was raised
slightly from the base of the quarry
Mcclellan reached under to get the
end of the chain and in so doing
thrust his head under, there being
just about room enough. The stone
slipped and lowered two inches, just
enough to crush the unfortunate man IS
skull. The stone was hastily raised
and the prostrate body drawn Ifrom
beneath.
Mcclellan was nineteen years of age
and unmarried. He came to Barre
two months ago from Nova Scotia,
and there the body was taken for in
terment. AS far as known he had
no relatives in this section.
