SUICIDE OF YOUNG WoMAN.-Mis:
Ethel Stevenson, aged twenty-four years,
daughter of superannuated Methodist
Episcopal clergyman of Harper's Ferry,
w. Va, committed suicide at Cumber-
land Tuesday. Miss Stevenson went to
Cumberland five weeks ago, ostensibly
for the purpose of finishing stenograph-
ic education. She had graduated from
Woods Business College, Washington,
d. c., when she entered the Mountain
State Business College in Cumberland,
for one months tuition. For about four
weeks she boarded with Mrs. Matilda
Darkey, at Cumberland, whom she had
known before going to Cumberland. A
few days ago Miss Stevenson left school,
and about the same time moved her
clearinghouse to Mr.. George f. En-
merits where she died. On Sunday
evening last a young man whose identity
has not been disclosed is said 20 have
called on Miss Stevenson. 1t appears he
had been calling on her for some time
and that the fact that he was in the Vi
cinity is really what brought Miss Ste
venson to Cumberland, as she stated they
were to have been married Tuesday morn
ing at 10 O'Clock. The young man did
not appear for the ceremony. The same
morning Miss Stevenson swallowed So
luton of arsenic, which resulted in her
death that night. 1t seems that they had
had some little difference on Sunday
night, but it was supposed the trouble
had been settled and the marriage was
looked forward to.
