Prominent Harrison Farmer Sui
CideS.

Joseph Ralston, a prominent farmer
and citizen living near Connersville,
Harrison county, committed suicide at
hisa home Wednesday night, drinking
several ounces of carbolic acid and
hanging himself to the top rafter of a
barn he had recently filled with new
tobacco.
No cause is given for the act and no
letter of explanation was left by the
dead man.
Mr.. Ralston spent most of Wednes-
day in Cynthiana attending to some
business affairs, coming to Paris later
IN the day, where he is supposed to
have purchased the carbolic acid. He
returned home late in the afternoon,
and leaving the horse and rig at the
gate, it is supposed he went directly
TO the barn, where he ended his life
The family was attracted by the
riderless horse and one of Mr.. Raj
ston's sons went to investigate and dis
covered small grip in which was a
sack of fruit to which was pinned a
note saying they would never see him
alive again. The neighbors were
aroused and started a search for the
missing man. After a considerable
time his body was found hidden in the
newly cut tobacco in the top of the
barn.

DEATH ENDS REMARKABLE
LONGEVITY OF TWO BROTHERS

Are Buried in the Same Grave.

Mike and William Riordan, brothers,
both past the four score and ten mile
stones of life, died on last Sunday at
}their humble cabin home, in the neigh
borhood of Victoria, this county.
Mike, the elder, lacked but two years
of rounding out the century mark,
while William, ''the youngster," as he
was frequently called by his brother,
had passed far into the nineties.
William died at O'Clock in the morn
ing of pneumonia, and Michael sue
cumed at noon to senility.
Inseparable from youth, they had
travelled the long and rugged journey
of life alone, save for a maiden sister,
who, though herself feeble from the in
frmities of old age in latter years, had
tended to the household duties.
Neither had ever taken unto himself
a wife and it is related of them that
once when the flame of love swelled
to large proportions in the bosom of
William when he had reached the age
of two-score years and he threatened
to take unto himself a mate, Mike, the

the doors of his heart forever to Cupid S

when fortune favored them, but their

by Father Celestial Brey, the pastor.
The bodies were laid side by side in
