They Take Possession of Island Ad

Washington, Dec. 24.-The navy de-
partment has received the following
cablegram from Rear Admiral Cogh-
Ian, commanding the United States
naval forces at Colon: "Mayflowec
reports met with Pinzon, carrying 800
men and ammunitions, bound for tt.

Official maps of the navy depart
ment do not show any place by the
name of Titumati, but the supposition
is that the point referred to is Tu-
mate, group of three islands lying a
half mile from the Colombian coast in
the gulf of Darien, and about 30 milas
southeast Of Cape Tiburon. The Tu-
mate islands being a part of Colon
bian territory, the department is with
out any power to act beyond observ'
ing the movements of this detachment
of Colombian troops. The situation
at the Island Of Pines, however, is
quite different, as that island is with
in Panamanian territory, and it is not
to be expected that. the so or more

Dies in Great Agony.

Pittsburg, Dec. 24-Piqued because
her husband, John Schwartz brought
home with him a friend who tarried
too long, Mrs. Bessie Schwartz, a
handsome young bride Of but short
time, took an ounce or more OF car
bolIc acid at the house of Mrs. Mary
Lang, No. 1543 Wylie avenue, where
she and her husband were shopping.

husband she was going out. He 70

On the way to the door OF the room
she snatched the bottle OF carbolie

lips and drank the contents. Then
she returned to the room and handed
the empty bottle to her husband.
why, Bessie, for heavens sake
what have you done" cried Schwartz
"Oh, Jack, am sorry now l did it, :
she replied coolly Get some hour
quick, but don't call a doctor, for
will get over it all right"
During this time she had taken of
her hat and coat. Next she stepped
in front OF a looking glass and
Strengthened out her hair. She was
beginning to give evidences of grea'
pain, and few moments later threw
herself on her bed, screaming and
writing from the awful burns caused
by tho acid.
BY the time physicians reached the
bedside Of the woman she was tossina
about the bed in paroxysms OF pair
and was unconscious.
The doctors advised her removal Il
a hospital. She was taken to the
Passavant hospital, but died without
having regained consciousness.
Schwartz is a bartender. He was
married at Youngstown, O., a short
time ago, his wife being Miss Bessie
Ackworth Of that place. The bride
was hardly 20 years old. A few days
before Thanksgiving the couple came
to the house of Mrs. Lang and rented
a furnished room, taking their meals
at a restaurant. Mr.. Schwartz ani
his wife appeared to be getting alons
very happily. When the weather was
bad he would not permit her to go ou
to the restaurant to eat, but would
bring her meals to her In the house
The couple had no differences, and II
is thought that Mrs. Schwartz, being
nervous from i'll health, was suddenly
upset by the impotence growing Out
of her long wait for her husbands
friend to leave her room.
Her body was removed to tbs
morgue. The remains will be takez
to YOUNGSTOWN for burial.
