SUICIDES FOLLOW MURDER.
Michigan Couple Die Rather Than
Face Coroner's Inquiry.

Owosoo.-Rather than face a coro-
ner's inquest into the death of Edwin
Edgar, who was found dead in West
Haven township recently, Bert Seely
and his wife took poison. They were
found dead lying side by side in bed.
Just what connection the two had
with Edgar's death will perhaps never
be known. The officers have ascer
tanned, however, that there was long
standing enmity between the two men
owing to alleged aspersions which Ed
gar had made on the character of Mrs.
Seely.
In addition to the poison notes from
both Seely and his wife were found on
the table in their bedroom. Both notes
contained goodby messages to the
couples parents and both said not "to
blame Dewey" Dewey is Seely's
brother. Seely's note said he alone
was responsible anS Mrs. Seely in her
note also said that they were re-
sponsible.

German Export Rates.

The German railroads give quick
transit of goods for export at favored
rates. The rates from Plauen TO Bre-
men, American Consul Hurst reports,
for export, express, are only 3S cents
per 100 pounds for a distance OF 3l5
miles, and to Hamburg 81 cents per 100
for 800 miles. If the goods are not
for export, the usual rate for express,
taking a longer time, costs nearly
three times as much.
