as it was q week ago.
The wind blew over 60 miles an hour

Mysterious Double Suicide.

Philadelphia, March 1.-The police
have reported a double suicide at a
Turkish bath house on Lombard street.
Two employees, one white and one color.
ed, were found lying on the floor OF the
sleeping room OF the bath Ut six o'clock
this morning by the wife of the pro.
prletor. William MscCormick, the
white man, was a deaf mute aud had
been employed at the bath but two
weeks. James Wilson, the colored
man, had been employed there for
about two years. Both men worked ss
laborers about the place. There is no
known reason why the two men, who
we're almost total strangers, should
have committed suicide. but the pres
ence OF the pinkish froth about their
mouths aroused the suspicion OF the
police. The case is very mysterious.
