SUICIDE BY HANGING
VETERAN OF THE CIVIL WAR
ENDS HIS LIFE TODAY.

Brooding over his troubles 1t is stated,
caused the suicide Of George Leh, an aged
shoemaker who resided in Rupliville, on
the Rock Creek road, near the Soldiers
Home. His body was found shortly before
noon today. suspended with a rope
around his neck. The remains, which had
evidently been in that position for sew
eral hours. were discovered with the knees
on a chair, where the aged man had
climbed while attaching the rope to the
upper part Of the window frame. After
jumping from the chair and dying by
strangulation 1t is supposed that the body
swung back into such a position that the
lower limbs rested again upon the chair.
though in no way given support.
Leh. who was formerly an inmate of the
Soldiers Home left there about three
months ago and established himself In
Rupliville in a house known as Small row..
There for the past two months he has eked
out living as a cobbler. He had little to
say to the nei9hbors beyond greeting them
pleasantly each morning, and though every
one liked him still they thought that he
desired to keep to himself and respected his
wishes accordingly. They learned that he
was veteran of the Union army, and bora
right les caused by a bullet wound received
in action. When Mounted Policeman Cliff
ford Of the tenth precinct was riding
through Ruplville this morning he was
notified that the body Of the man had been
seen at the window. The policeman imme-
diately visited the house, and later notified
The tenth precinct station.

FIRE IN CHIMNEY.
Several Downtown Companies Called
Out by Alarm.

A hot place was made warmer this after
noon. about 2:15 o'clock, when fire broke
out In big chimney In the kitchen OF
Harvey's restaurant. at the southeast cor
ner OF Pennsylvania avenue and 18th
street.
It was merely a case OF burning SCOT. but
1t caused q blaze for a few moments and
necessitated the turning In OF a regular
downtown alarm. which called out several
companies Of the local fire-fighting force.
Except for the changing Of the bells and the
gathering of a crowd the patrons OF the
establishment woiiid not have known any,
thing unusual was In progress.
Firemen rushed into the kitchen and up
the back stairs to the roof. and soon began
to play the contents from their chemical
apparatus into the burning chimney from
the top and bottom. The sparks fought
fiercely for life, but were extlnguished.
Meanwhile the cooks went on with the
cooking, lodging as best they could the per-
spring and begrimed firemen, and the wait
ers carried their laden trays into the dining
rooms as usual. The way the firemen dis
regarded the heat and clambered over the
hot stove pipe in a hot kitchen In June
was the marvel Of the colored walters, one
OF whom remarked:
ssDey certainly am fond OBJ hot things"
Practically no damage was caused to the
premises. The proximity OF the Lyceum
Theater might have caused some alarm In
the audience there had the blaze spread.
but as II was no undue excitement pre-
vailed among the patrons.
