EXTRAORDINARY STHCIDAL MANIA. A, MASON AND HIS THREE WIVES.  On Saturday last a man named John Turton, aged 74 years, a stonemason by trade, residing at Skelman. thorpe, attempted to commit suicide by hanging. Timtoles career has been a very extraordinary one. He was first married many years ago to a woman whom, after he had lived with her for a considerable time, he sold at Kinky to a man named Kay for half-a-crown. The good lady ratified this little business transaction by going home with Kay and living with him as his wife. By and bye, however, she got tired of her new "lord and master," and bidding him adieu one morn. ing, she returned to her husband, with whom she remained a year or two until she (Bea. Turtou seems to have taken his wife's death so much to heart that he attempted, soon after, to commit suicide by hanging, He- was, however, discovered in time, and was cut clown before life was extinct. After a time he contracted a second marriage, but the union does not seem to have been a happy one, as wife No, 2 coinmated suicide by hanging. He had not hem, long a widower before he contracted a third marriage. Wife No. 3 was not long before she, like her husband and immediate ereriecesser in the matrimonial office, attempted to commit suicide by hanging, but the attempt was frustrated. She was taken before the magistrates and charged with attempting to commit suicide, when she expressed sorrow for what she had done, and promised not to repeat ths hanging experiment in the future, `this promise she kept in its letter tht,,ugl. licit in spirit, for her next attempt to ccituudi suicide, which VITA very soon after, was by Idrowning in a tub of 'Ater. She was got out before she succeeded in o,inplisliing her yampose, and having been certified by a medical man to be insane, she was taken to Wailidey Asylum. On Saturday, as already stated, the husband tried to lianglimself, but failed in .woomplishing his purpose, being discovered and cut down in time by a man named Townsend, son of the man who cut him down on the first occasion. Having been certified to be insane, he was taken to the asylum early this wca. Meanwjille his wife, having been pronouneed eviopo,s menti,s, has returned to hr Issas.

Saw him the last time a few minutes after eight o'clock on Friday night last, lie did not say where he was going', no p.e say anything when he went out. Had not noticed' that he had been low-spirited; he had a weak heart, and tears would rise at harsh or gentle words. She never heard the deceased threaten to "do away" with himself. He was working before he went out on a picture imam, anj hs4 " splotched " it. This he tried to rub oft, but 4nly uf4le i wqrse. He then asked witness if she knew Where the hid,' Irted the picture; and if she (witness) knew Where h'e. could get one like it, for if she did he would tramp that night to London to get one.

There was no injury to any other portion of the body. Witnesi did not se s any blood, and the body was quite cold and stiff.

This was the whole a the evidence brought forward, and  The Coroner said there was no doubt the deceased had come by his death from the wheels of an engine, but there was no evidence to show as to whether he put himself on the line purposely, or if he got there by accident, and the proper verdict to return would be, "That deceased was found dead, by a train passing over him," and they could add, if they liked, "Probably a suicide," as it appeared very much like that, althot:qh there was no evidence to prove it.
