Maddox procured work in a coal
company. Maddox was on his good
behavior for several monthss, and the
prospects for an early marriage were
rather bright. Then there came a
lapse, and Maddox began drinking
again.
Early in the fall the young man
caught cold. 1t grew worse, and
doctor diagnosed his case as tubercu-
losis. From that time Maddox be-
came more careless to his habits, and
the ravabes of the disease became
more apparent. He called at Miss
Kelleber's house twice a week, and
frequently took her to Mrs. Hills.
The motorman did not stop to pick
either of them up, but put on all
speed until the residence of DR.. ]. r.
Knight, $3.50 Second street, was reach.
ed. Both Miss Kelleber and Maddox
were carried into the doctors office.
Miss Kelleber was quickly revived,
but Maddox died ten minutes later.

KILLS HIMSELF AT
SWEETHEARTS Side

Philadelphia, Nov. Elm a trolley
car, just below the Rockledge Hotel,
out in Fox Chase early yesterday
morning, Lafayette Maddox, of 1926
Craig street, Holmesburg, blew out
his brains because his sweetheart,
Nellie Kelleber, of 23O Sieger street,
refused to marry him. The girl was
sitting beside him when he pulled the
revolver from his pocket and jammed
the muzzle against his temple. She
tainted before he pulled the trigger.
Maddox was consumptiye. He
was penniless, and because of his dis
ease, shiftless and ill-natured. The
girl was a friend of Maddock's sister
Mrs. Walter Hill, with whom the
young man boarded. Maddox went
to live with his sister about a year
ago. Miss Kelleber was a frequent
visitor, and Maddox became infatu-
ated.
AT the time Maddox was healthy
enough, but rather dissolute in his
habits. Miss Kelleber promised to
marry him if he would reform, and
