SUICIDE OF FRED ARCHER. The oireunittanoes attending the death of Mr. Fred Archer, the famous joekey—whieh caused; something like a sensation on Monday—were of a very painful Ohara:der. He caught cold at the I Lewes meeting last week, and at once retarnedl home to FeJmouth House, Newmarket, where he planed himself under the care of Dr. Wright and IDr. Lathom. The cold rapidly grew worse, and feverieh symptoms net in, aooompanied by slight delirium at times. He was sorted from the commencement by his sister, whose devotion is beyond prime. At noon on Monday the patient's nondiMon had not materially changed, and ithe cold and fever mewed to the doctors who had seen him in the morning to be pureeing a normal course. aura before two o'clock Miss Archer had occasion to leave her brother by Monett for a short time. Unfortunately she was not aware that there was • revolver in a &ewer in the room, but, even if eke had not been ignorant of the fact, there had been nothing in the oondition and behaviour of the Patient to justify the euspicion that he would commit suicide. It is eupposed that Mr. Archer, after the departure of his sister, crept out of bed, and, having obtained poaseteion oethe revolver, at once shot himself through the head during • delirious paroxysm. The report of the revolver alarmed the hoomhold, but assistance arrived too late, the unfortunate man dying almost immediately. Mr. Archer was born in 1857, end was el,PredMood to Mr. Matthew Dawson, who niece he subsequently married. He commenced riding in 1870, and has since ridden over 2,500 winnere. " Vigilant," writing in Tumelay's Sportsman, says :—Archer's health was suffering from the privatione to which he subjected himself in order to ride at certain weights can hardly fail to have struck many people during the year. That such was the ease struck me in August at York, and his worn and haggard appearance during the Houghton week was more than once the subject of : remark within my hearing. Aware to what an extent he sometimes deprived himself of food, and, taking into consideration also his wanted appearance at Brighton last week, I could not but fear for the worst when news came to hand that he had been attached with severe illness. It wan painful to see him at York in the /rammer of this year, wandering about from roam to room where he had friend., and sucking now and again a grape, and taking nothing else. On another occasion, not long ago, too, there was something pathetic in hie remark that he should travel from some meeting to Newmarket and return next day, as when travelling he should think less about feeling hungry

The prisoner, for a moment, seemed to realise the nature of his act, and exclaimed, "What have I done ? " but suddenly he made towards his wife, and asked, " Shall I throw you out ? " Utterly confused, and fearful lees he should do her mischief, the woman shrieked meat pin:cutely until she alighted at Otley, and informed the Stationmaster of what had °marred. Chippendale was looked up in one of the waiting-rooms pending the arrival of the police, and a party went along the line in march of the children, who were discovered near Memton, happily without having suffered any serious injury. The older boy was severely cut at the back of the head, and his injury wan drensed by Dr. Pinder, of Otley. Both children were taken to their mother, who, nearly heart-broken, had been removed to a private house and properly cared for. The sight was moot touching when the children were rettored to her. Meanwhile the huebund, left alone in the waitingroom, had attempted suicide by hanging himself, by means of a pocket-handkerchief, behind the door of one of the water-clowita.

He waif then removed to the police.station. and on Wednesday was brought before the Otley Bench, and remanded, on the charge above mentioned. The event han caused considerable excitement in the district, and the escape of the children from an untimely death is regarded as almost miraculous.
