BISMARCK ENGINEER
SUICIDES in EAST
SAMUEL eRos|Us IS SAID TO
HAVE INHALED ILIUMINAT-
ING GAS.
Was a Civil Engineer and Was Sta
toned at Fort Lincoln When Post
Was Being Constructed.

The following from the Washington
Post gives particulars of the death
of S. G. Brosius, formerly civil en-.
gineer at Fort Lincoln, when it was
in course Of construction. Mr.. Bros
ius several years ago, was married to
Mrs. F. A. Briggs, widow of a form
er governor of North Dakota. The
Post says:
Seeking death as a relief from a
long illness, and probably fearing in
sanity, Samuel G. Brosius, A years
old, civil engineer in the quartermas
ters department of the army, lay in
bed in his room at IL B street north
east yesterday afternoon, and inhaled
Illuminating gas through rubber
tube until he was dead
A few minutes before he had kissed
his wife good bye when she left him
to 60 shopping. He had been CHEEKY
and smiling, and had said: Don't
be long, little woman" She needed
his request, but was unable to return
to their room for two hours. When
she unlocked the door and entered.
her eyes met sight which nearly
caused her to faint
Head Covered BY Pillow.
Brosius lay on the bed, partially
clad. His head was covered by q
pillow, around which he had wrapped
his arms. From beneath the pillow
was a rubber tube, one end of which
was connected with gas jet near
the bed. IRON the door the wife saw
the jet was open, and she could also
see the form on the bed was still.
Afraid lest her worst fears would
be- confirmed, Mrs. Brosius jerked
away the pillo' which concealed the
face of her husband. His eyes were
closed in death. The end Of the tube
was held tightly between his closed
teeth. The wife saw death had
claimed the invalid, but she thought
a spark of life might still remain and
a physician was summoned.
The physician said life was ex-
tinct, and the police were notified.
Detective Cox made an investigation,
and learned there were no suspicious
circumstances in connection with the
death. Coroner hewitt issued a Ger.
tificate in accordance with the facts
of the case
Brosius was we'll known in Wash
ington as civil engineer. He came
here ten years ago from Baltimore,
and obtained a position in the quar-.
termaster's department., where he re-
manned until the time of his death.
Several weeks ago, the rheumatism
from which he had suffered for years,
grew worse, and he and his wife went
to Hot Springs, where he thought he
might regain his health. The stay at
Hot Springs produced no change in

to Washington about week ago.
Gave Up Their Apartments.
They had given up their apartments
in the Farragut when they left the
city, and took a room in the house
on B street, until they could again
establish themselves. Brosius had
been growing worse since he returned
to Washington, and it is believed he
had given up hope of ever being else
than an invalid.
1t rs said he was patient at the
government hospital for the insane
for several months about year ago,
and it is believed his fear of again
growing mentally unbalanced was one
Of the causes Of his suicide.

LONDON'S OLD ROMAN WALL

Visitors to London whose tastes lie in the d.
rection of exploring ancient remains will be graft
fed to learn that the Society of Antiquaries has
succeeded in securing the preservation Of a very
fine fragment of the great Roman wall around
London, which has Just been laid bare, a London
letter TO the New York Sun says. From time to
time portions of the great structure, the external
wall Of defense built about the city in the fourth
fifth century, have been uncovered in digging
foundations while rebuilding streets or houses.
These have rarely escaped demolition The latest
discovery is to be preserved for the benefit of
the public.
1t is situated near Newgate street, close to a
new annex of the general postoflce. The frag-
ment, which is that of a great curved bastion,
is so feet long, 20 feet high and feet wide. The
present summit lies several feet below the sur
face Of the ground. The whole is in a wonderful
state Of preservation.
The material is that known as "Kentish rag"
supported by heavy Roman bricks and showing
clearly the characteristic layers bands of red
tiles, such may be seen at Burgh castle, Pc
Vensey and Marlborough. The interesting relic is
to be built around so that it will lie in a cave
which may be entered by stairs and inspected by
artificial light. The line of the great Roman wall
is well known and much of 1t undoubtedly re-
mains below the houses to-day, which are largely
built upon 1t as upon the securest Of foundations.
