Sl0l ,s7S over 1911. In 1850 only cocoon
tons og gypsum were produced; in 1900

The bulk OF the gypsum produced in

plaster Of paris, molding and casting
plaster, stueco, cement plaster, flooring
plaster, and hard finish plaster, .,,,ned

an ingredient in various patent cements.
A steadily increasing quantity is being

DEATH BY cARBoLIc ACID.
George E. Leclair, Burlington Barber,
Killed Himself.

Burlington, Oct. 27.--George Z. ,Le-
clair, barber at l64 Battery street,
committed suicide by carbolic acid Sat
urday morning in his room over the
shop.
Mr.. Leclair had been in falling health
for long time with sugar diabetes and
his physical condition it is believed im-
paired his mind.
Mr.. Leclair, as usual, called his assist
ant, William Thibadeau. who sleeps in
the next room The assistant got up,
went down stairs and opened the shop.
Later Leclair came down and remained
a few minutes, subsequently returning
to his rooms. When Thibadeau got
through shaving a customer and did
some work about the kitchen he called
his employer down and receiving no re-
Spouse, visited his room where he found
Leclair stretched upon the bed dead. He
had put on his shirt, trousers and stock
ings and tied his night shirt about his
neck, which gave rise to the rumor
that he had ehoked himself to death.
Officer Fraser, who was ON duty near
by, was called ana he summoned Chief
Russell and Health Officer Nolan.
DIR. Nolan found that Leelair had
drank the contents from two ounce
bottle of carbolic acid and had been
dead scarcely a half hour.
Arrangements were made for the re-
moval of the body and the dead mans
personal effects were looked into. The
sum of 1887 in currency was found in
his pockets.
Mr. Leclair it appears, belonged to the
BARRIERS unior-snd was a member of
the Eagles. His assistant SAYS that he
had several times acted strangely and
was evidently of unsnund mind.
