 Where He Leaves a Family.
 New York, Feb, S.-Stnnding in the doorway of all apartment where guests had assembled to witness q wedding to- night, stranger, supposed to be Ul- deric Hugron. of Waterbury. Conn, blew out his brains. Death was in stantaneous, and the body tumbled backward down a flight of stairs. The bride and many women guests became hysterieal following the tragedy, and the marriage ceremony was delayed while the coroner held an impromptu Inquiry.

He walked apparently directly to the fourth floor, and, standing in the hallway at the parlor door, placed the muzzle of a re- volver in his mouth and fired.
 Coroner Shrady in his investigation questioned many of the guests. All denied that the man was known to Miss Feeney or others of the party.
 When the body was searched at the station house letter addressed to "Ul- derc Hugron'' at 221 South Main street, Waterbury, Conn, was found. It was a receipted bill for groceries from a firm in this city. About $50 in money, la small picture of "The Conspirators, a turquoise heart and religious medal bearing the inscription, "Archon Fra ternity of the Holy Family" were found in the pockets of the mans clothing. He was probably thirty-five years old.
