In places it is almost imperative that a

outrage and should be looked after at

tressing neglect to permit filth and mud
to accumulate on them until the brick
with which they are paved serves only
as bottom for the stuff on top.

A Den1ented Wife Commits Suicide.

The friends of Prof. William E.
Breazeale, of nutgers College, n. j.,
who is a native of Anderson County
and brother of our townsman, John
E. Breazeale, Esq, have heard with
much regret the sad death of his wife,
who threw herself from steamer
near Bridgeport, Conn, on Monday
night, 18th inst, and was drowned.
Mrs. Breazeale went directly from
her home to New York, where she took
a steamer bound for Providence, II. L.,
and registered her name as "Mrs.
Brown,' saying she lived in New York.
She was assigned to berth by the
stewardess and was last seen Mt o
o'clock. A woman who had talked
with the stranger said that "Lfrs.
Brown" told her she had four children
and was tired of life, and this is the
only thing known as occurring on the
boat SO far as she is concerned.
On Tuesday morning a letter from
Mrs. BreaZeale was received by her
sister. Mis-. I'rentiss, the wife of anoth-
er professor in Rutgers College, in
which 1t was stated that she was about
to take boat from New York to Bog
ton, and that she contemplated self
destruction. This letter caused an
immediate investigation, and Profs.
Prentiss and Breazeale, with q large
number of students from Rutgers,
went directly to New York and thence
TO Providence, where it was learned
that shortly after the steamer had
missed from the dressing room, and no
trace of her could be found. 1t is sup
posed that she had raised n window
and lenped over the rail.
On the floor of the dressing room
was black jacket, lined with change
able silk. cOllarette, n gloria cloth
umbrella and black t0que, trimmed
with black feathers, and these articles
tailed exactly with the description of
those worn by Mrs. Breazealo when
she left home. Her husband returned
to his home crushed and hcartbrok en-,
and had no doubt that the woman " no
jumped from the steamer was his un-
fortunate wife.
Mrs. Breazeale was formerly Miss
Martha Hamilton Dodge, of Baltimore,
and was married about ten year ago to
Prof. Breazeale, by whom she had four
children. Her mind became disorder
