in the public road in front of Mr..
Slgel Ashman's house, in an un.
conscious condition. He was
discovered by mem bers of MIR.
Ashman's family and carried 1n.
to the house and cared for. 1t

he should be taken to his own
home. Mr.. Ashman started with
him, but on the way met Mr..

of Mr.. Ramsey and conveyed
him home. There has since been
very little change for the better
in his condition.

TOOK HER OWN LIFE.
Mrs. Rebecca EmaIine Seville, West Of
Town, Was Found Dead Last
Thursday Morning.

This community was greatly
shocked last Thursday morning
upon learning that Rebecca Ema
line, wife of Amos Seville, bad
taken her life by hanging.
Mr.. Seville Is prosperous ten.
ant farmer on the Trout farm
west of town and resides just op
poslte the toll gate. On Thurs
day morning early Lucy Walker,
the "hlred girl" went to the Ha-
gerstown Fair, and Mrs. Seville
arose as usual and got the break
fast. After breakfast, Mr.. Sc
vile went to nelghbor's house
on an errand and when he return
ed shortly after eight o'clock, he
was surprised 10 see that the
breakfast table was still "stand-
ing", and that the morning S
work about the house had not
been done as usually at that time.
Not seeing Mrs. Seville about,
nor hearing anything of her, Mr..
Seville called aud then went to
her room. Clarence Seville who
resides in town arrived about that
time and joined his father IN look
ing for Mrs. Seville, for they
feared she might be i'll. Imagine
their horror when upon opening
the door of the wood house to
find her suspended from a beam
overhead. Thinking that there
might be a chance of saving her
life, Mr.. Seville promptly cut her
down, but 1t was soor found that
she was beyond the point of hu-
man help.
Word was at once sent to town,
and as there is no Coroner in the
county, Justice of the Peace S.
M. Robinson was notkfied tc
empanel jury and hold an in
quest. The inquest was held,
the following persons composing
the jury; Geo. B. Mellott, D. V.
Slpes, WINS. Clevenger, M. M.
Bender, Geo. W. Hays, and r.
N. Sinner. DR.. Robinson was
present and examined the body
for marks of violence, but there
was nothing to indicate that the
woman had not taken her own
life deliberately.
The deceased was Mr.. Saville' S
second wife, and IN her union
with Mr.. Seville had no children.
She was a daughter of the late
Joseph Myers who several years
ago resided IN McConnellsburg.
The funeral took place Saturday
morning, and interment was
made in the cemetery at Knobs
vile.
Mrs. Seville was a consistent
mem Der of the M. E. church, and
until her health failed, was regu'
lar and faithful attendant upon
the services.

Cided that this part of the country was
good enough for him, so he will con-
tinue to live at Alexandra. Said he:
The land out where l was in Montana
is all right, but bless your soul there
is no water there and the dry farming
proposition is so vague just at pres
ent that l didn't want any of it. Give
me this particular part of North Da-
kota or Minnesota and hereafter guess
/ will be satisfied without hunting new
lands to conquer" Mr.. Young called
on his FRIEND H. H. Casselman yes

reception room and library and offices,
and these rooms are well furnished and
adapted to the purpose. Just off Ehe
offices Is the bishops private chapel
which, when completed, will be one of
the neatest chapels in the country. The
statuary and beautiful altar are works
OF art, imposing, yet simple in con-
struction.
AS one ascends the grand stair case
leading to the sleeping apartment he
will invariably glance upward to the
dome which graces the center of the
big house. This has been the particu-
lar pride Of Father Lemieux who de-
signed and superintended it's construc-
ton. The dome is of art glass, deli
cately tinted, the center piece being
the bishops coat Of arms At one cor
ner is the open Bible, at another the
nitre, at another the keys. and at still
another the challice and cross. The
decorations are handsome and four
angels with scrolls are at the four sides.
In the upstairs stories are located the
rooms of the secretary TO the bishop,
and these have all been furnished in a
beautiful manner There are four rooms
in a suite for the bishops living apart
ment and these have been furnished in
exquisite taste. They are decorated in
green and light buff and the furniture
is elegant Where the former bishops
chapel was located is now located four
bedrooms for guests who may be in
the house. At any time the house can
accommodate from twenty to twenty five
guests without discommoding the reg
ular residents. In the upper story are
bedrooms and the offices of The BuIle-
tin, the official paper of the diocese.
These rooms have been furnished with
handsome cases for cuts, files letters.
ETC., and are well adapted to the pur-
pose.
The floors have all been relaid with
hardwood, and new furniture has been
bought for every room, while all of the
window curtains lamberlSins and car
pets and rugs are also new. The new
private porch of the bishop has been
finished in white and the furniture
which will adorn it is all of the same
color. Father Lemieux has been con-
graduated on every side for the rare
taste he has shown in the work, and
the bishop cannot but be pleased with
his domiciIe.

all and spoke a word of comfort to
each, assuring them that he was ready
to go. Shortly after that he sank back

months, has worked wonders. There
was not a Earring note from beginning

Dwight Simmons presided at the

presided at the piano. Their work
added greatly to the success of the

One of the numbers which especial
