A SUICIDE.
John 7. Stone, Farming
dale, Takes His Life,
Fires Bullet Into Head As He
RecIines on Couch.
Dependency Is Said 10 Have Been
Cause For the Rash Act.

John Thomas Stone committed suicide
shortly after o'clock Tuesday after
noon by shooting himself through the
head with 3S-calibre revolver as he
lay on the couch in the living room of
his home, Maine avenue, Farmingdale.
Dependency, caused by worrying over
the probable loss Of his position at
Morse's Cigar store, where he had been
employed for the past 13 years, and
grief over the death of a valuable set
ter dog 10 which he was greatly at
tached, are said to be the causes for
the rash act.
Mr.. Stone was on the street as late as
$50 in the afternoon, and made several
purchases at a local store, including a
can of maple syrup. On his way home
he stepped into Morse'S Cigar store and
said good bye to his friends there. All
who saw him on the street agree in
saying that he acted very strangely.
To one man he said that he was go
ing home and have some fritters with
maple syrup on them and to another
friend he remarked that he felt pretty
blue ard if he didn't feel better he
would go home and blow his head off
But no one supposed that his last re-
mark was to be taken seriously.
On entering the house he passed
through the kitchen and spoke to his
wife, who was there and then went di-
rectly into the dining room and lay
down on the couch. He had been there
but q moment when his wife heard the
sound of u pistol shot and on rushing
into the room was Mortified to find that
her husband had taken his own life
On the floor, where it had dropped from
mis- hand lay the smoking revolver and
blood was oozing from bullet wound
over the right ear.
Death was almost instantaneous. The
bullet from the 3S-calibre revolver had
penetrated the brain and passed out
on the left side of the head DR.. +. T..
Strout was called ana as soon as lie ar
rived at the house and saw what had
happened he notified Coroner Frank
Andrews. Coroner Andrews on learn
ing of the facts decided that as the
case was plainly one of suicide no in
quest was necessary and the body
was turned over to Prcblc & kcenc
who prepared it for burial.
John Thomas Stone was born in
Farmingdale and lived the greater part
of his life in the same house i'll which
he died. He was 81 years of age and
was the son of the late John T. and
Abbic Jarvis Stone. His father was at
one time engaged in the dry goods
business in Gardiner. Two sisters,
Mrs. Criah stone of Boston, and Kat2
living in Denver, a widow and one
daughter. Abbie, survive.

Experiments under a competent eX-
pert have been made iE Prussia during
the last few months with western
Pennsylvania coal to determine its
comparative value with German Goals.
and the results Of the comparison are
said to be highly gratifying and show
the superiority of the Pennsylvania
coal. All German Goals for cooking
have 10 be washed. while this is not
the case with the American Goals tried
here. The experiments show that ii
great saving in coke-InalSlng would
be brought about by the utilizing of the
by-products. II the new discoveries
are as successful as is now anticipated
it will not b. long before the manu-
facture az coke. instead OF being done
at the mines, sill be brought near 10
the furnaces in large citics-Consnlar

The Lental season had little effect on
the demand for beef cattle. which was
good, specially on the best qualities.
which ruled strong. The demand for the
poorer cows and bolognas was inactive,
and the supply was large. The Maine
train was late at the CARDS. causing ser1-
