BLACKSTONE, VA, Oct. 13.-Miss Es-
telle Jones, young lady about twenty
one years old, who resided with her
mother, Mrs. Napoleon Jones. and broth
er, Mr. Charles Jones. in the lower edge
of Nottoway, near the line Of Dinwiddie
county, between MELVILLE and Wilson
depots, on the Norfolk and Western Rail
road, committed suicide early yesterday
morning by shooting herself in the neck
with a shotgun.
No reason can be assigned by the fam
ily for the rash act of the young lady,
as it was not known if she had any trou-
BILE that would lead her to commit such
deed
She left no note or other explanation.
and the entire act is clothed in mystery
so far as is known to any one at this
time.
She and her mother had just returned
from milking the cows, and she was
expected soon to join her brother at tho
tobacco barn to strip tobacco her
mother stopped In one room and the
young woman went into another Inc
report of the gun was heard, and upon
entering the room her body was found
upon the floor The gun had been placed
against her neck Just below the head
and the load had torn large hole en-

Instantaneous.
Miss Jones was the half-sister OF Mrs.
John Cole who resided a few miles dis
tant, and who committed similar act
in January. 1902. Mrs. Cole had been
in i'll health for a long while, and shot
herself with pistol while in bed she
got small boy to purchase the pistol
for her with the promise of reward.

legality Of the marriage OF Mr. W: Vander-

widow Of Lewis NJ. Rutherfurd. at st. Marks
Church, North Audley street. last satur-
day morning, has been raised by the Rev.
H. Miller OF West London In letter 10
the newspapers. The Rev. Mr. Miller
emphasizes the fact that the ordinary
doors Of the church were not opened DUR
ing the ceremony and that the bridal party
entered through the vicarage adjoining.
The Rev. Mr. KILLER quotes from the sec
ton In Beeton's law book. under the caption:
How Marriages May Be Solemnized-Es-
sential Conditions and says he nnds u
stated therein that all marriages. other than
those solemnzed under a special license
must take place lin public. with open
doors"
In support of his contention the Rev.
Mr. Miller cites an occasion where he ceie-
brated quiet wedding in his own Freshly
terrain church. The registrar objected
on that occasion because only one-half OF
the large front door Of the church had been
opened, saying that In order 20 insure
legal marriage the doors must be opened.
as IL for public divine service. and no one
should he excluded.
The Rev Mr.. Miller's objections are not
generally considered az effective, inasmuch
az there must be Exclusion to make his
contention correct, and no one having de-
manded entrance to the Vanderbilt cere-
mony no exclusion" was committed.
