ing that diseased beef slaughtered in

SUICIDES IN VIRGINIA.

r. w. Walden, 4S years old, committed
suicide yesterday morning at his home
in Newport News by opening an artery
ia his left arm. Walden was building
contractor aud had lived in Newport
News many years. He is survived by
widow and eight children. For l9 weeks
he had been suffering from cancer OF the
stomach, which severe operation failed
to cure, aud for some time the patient
had known that his days were numbered.
Yesterday morning he asked his wife for
penknife, saying that he wished to pare
his nails. Mrs. Walden handed him the
knife and left the room for few min
utes. When she returned her husband
was unconscious and was bleeding from
small wound in his arm. Screaming
for help the woman rushed out of the
room and tainted in the hall. DIR. w.
IL. Knight, who was summoned by
neighbors, could do nothing, as Walden
was so emacia;ed by the disease that the
loss of a very little blood would have
been fatal. Death came soon after the
doctor reached the house.
Julian r. Gay, formerly of Norfolk
who has been living in Richmond several
mouths, attempted suicide last night in
front of the home of Ada Lane, young
woman with whom he was infatuated and
who had refused to longer receive his at
tentions. The attempt was made with
knife, the man slashing long cash in
bis neck from ear to ear. Fortunately,
however, be missed the main artery and
the ph sicians say he will recover. The
nature of the trouble between the man
and the woman has not been learned. 1t
is said that Gay went to the house and
was refused admission, and that he then
lay down directly in front of the house
and attempted to end his own life. Gay
is now in a hospital.
Mrs. Nancy McKainey, who was 20
years Of age and beloved for her womanly
graces, ended her life by committing
suicide in Bristol yesterday. Her body
was found suspended by rope, after she
had been missing from her home at New
Bethel for two days. Mrs. NcKainey
had lived alone since the death of her
husband ten years ago. No cause is
assigned for the suicide.
Bessie Quigley, young white woman,
committed suicide in Roanoke yesterday
by taking laudanum and morphine. She
was attended by physicians and lived
fifteen hours. She had often threatened
to end her life, but had sworn to first
kill young man, "Dave" Powers. She
sent for him Thursday night, and upon
his refusal to respond to the summons
che took the double dose of poison. She
was from Franklin county and came from
q good family.

Castellane's Debts.

A dispatch from Paris says that while
no move has yet been made by the
Counts lawyers, the attorneys for the
Countess de OastelIsne evidently antici-
pate an attempt on his part to force
delay in the trial OF the divorce case,
which has been fixed for October II, un-
less the creditors attachment case is
previously settled. The Count is not un-
willing to take every advantage of the
desire of the Countess and the Gould
family to make sacrifices to avoid further
notoriety and scandal, but it is still
doubtful whether the price is not too
high. 1t turns out that the bills piled
up by the Counts creditors are very
numerous. While the exact total is not
known, the amount is authoritatively de-
scribed as fabulous"
10 spite of the pre.nuptial settlement,
the French law regards the marriage
partnership as making husband and wife
equslIy responsible for the household ex-
penses and debts. The attachment pro-
ceedings, however, do not belong to this
class. They are almost entirely for
money borrowed from usurers at ruinous
rates, and consequently they could be
legally resisted.
The Count has another lever, in the
disposition of the children, who, under
the law, are French citizens and subject
to military service. He could enter a
plea before the French court that if the
children we're given into the custody of
the mother they might be taken beyond
the jurisdiction of France. Such action
would doubtless result in the imposition
by the court of restrictions embarrassing
to the Countess in the future.
If the creditors attachment case is
settled out of court the Count is not ex-
pected 10 make defense, and it is be.
lieyed the divorce will be granted
October IL. Otherwise it is anticipated
that the Count will trump up cause for
postponement.
