Turner, a young man from Yorkville.
who until recently has been working
for the Lancaster Telephone company,
came near dying here Saturday night
from the effects Of an overdose OF NOR
phine, which, 1t Is thought, was taken
with suicidal intent. AS soon as his
condition was discovered antidotes
were administered and friends and ac-
quaintances Of the young man kept
him walking the streets all night long.
It was not until late in the day Sun
day that he was considered out Of dam
ger. Some say that disappointment in
a love affair caused Mr.. Turner to at
tempt to take his own life. while 9TH
ers ascribe the act to dependency
over financial troubles.

our readers that man was in chester
some time ago representing that he
was agent for 1.-The Etude" and other
journals. He was a swindler and, or
course, never forwarded the subscrip-
tions collected. Mrs. A. G. Brice has

fishers of 1.-The Etude," saying that the
fellow has been caught at Albany, Ca,
and sent to the chaingang Tor one
year. .Gethsemane Baptist church
on the York road about four miles
from the city, SdnCludIy idhiouS
among the colored people, was destroy,
ed by fire last night. We understand
that services were conducted as usual
at the church last night and that the
Iconfiagration broke out shortly atter

speculation as to the cause OF the
blaze, some thinking that 1t might
have been Of incendiary origin. The
edifice, we understand, was COM
pletely destroyed.
