END HIS LIFE Walter Taylor, a Treasury Olerk, Orased by His Danghter’s Affiction. The Young Girl Suddenly Develops Insanity and Wrecks Parlier Fur- uiture—Jumps Through Window. i Pa, > ? 9 a BP i 2 Mr. Walter Taylor, a clerk in the Treas- ury Department, aged fifty-three, who lives at No. 409 4th street northeast, attempted suicide by hanging about 12:30 o'clock this morning. The act was committed after his daughter, Miss Lucy Taylor, had be- come a raving maniac and had wrecked the contents of the parlor. In addition to this, the unfortunate young girl had made an effort to kill Mrs. Husbandman, one of her nearest friends, who had been with her for several days. Mrs. Taylor, mother of the unfortunate woman, it is said, was insane at the time of her death, and Lucy's a gah crys the passenger Officials of all ‘he thleers of the United States have by ufianifiious resolutions, — at three flifferent conventions, eartily indorsed the anti-scalping bill as recommended by the interstate commerce j 4 ba} Making the Furs Fly-- few samples of these letters, taken at ran- dcm from the records, and covering the] ,The resolutions of the American Asso- You've got sister, Miss Bertha Taylor, is now under | different parts of the country, will give an | “ation of General Passenger Agents, unani- ne ee ths treatment in some institution for a men-| idea of the unanimity of the railroads in| ™mously adopted at its annual conventicn eee tat acetic the great desire they express for the pas-| held in St. Lowis in October, 1897, are as yet in which Miss Lucy destroyed nearly all the pic- | *28°-0f this measure, as being for the best = Whereas, The necessity for state and national legislation against ticket scalping has apparent to every man who has given the least attention to the subject; and Whereas, In ten states of the Union, as well as in the Dominion of Canada and in : every countzy 4n Europe, laws have been minute to adopted confining the sale of transporta- lose in sell- tion tickets to the properly authorized 5 agents of the transportation companies; | 3 ing.

It is an illegitimate practice, expensive alike to tha railroads in loss of revenue and to the public in the consequent cur- tailment of passenger facilities, s2rvice and comfort, which they would otherwise be able to obtain on many of the smaller systems of railways ‘Were it possible for these roads to avoid this great, everlasting and growing drain on their passenger rev- enu2s. The condition that makes {t pos- sible for any one not connected with a railroad to barter, sell or deal in railroad transportation cannot be condemned too strongly, nor can the remedy come too quickly, We have faith in the good judgment and setnd businass principles that will guide the deliberations and ‘dictate the acts of used ticket, or part of ticket, by the trans- portation company issuing it at its full value; and “ Whereas, This being the first annual meeting of the association held since the active agitation of the question before ne Congress of the United States; there- fore, Be it resolved, That this annual meet- ing of the American Association of Gen- eral Passenger and Ticket Agents, repre- nting the principal railways of the United tates, Canada and Mexico, respectfully urge upon the various state legislatures t! adoption of laws that will confine the sale of tickets to the properly authorized agents of the transportation companies, and, at the same time, will require, under suitable penalties, the redemption of every ticket, or part of a ticket, that may be unused.

Multitude of Ills. > The loss of his wife, followed by the af- filction of his two daughters was a heavy burden for Mr. Taylor's mind to carry, and it is thought it drove him insane. His daughter Lucy had suffered a similar at- tack before, but it was believed she had fully recovered. A week ago, however, she was taken sick and has since shown s.gns of a return of the mental disorder. Her friend, Mrs. Husbandman, remained with her and was very fond of her.

Mrs. Husbandman was alone in the parlor with the sick one at the time, and when she heard the patient talk of killing she thought it was time for her to frocure assistance. The unfortunate girl first began tearing at her clothing, and Mrs. Husbandman left the parlor. Just as she closed the door between the parlor and the hall, a heavy clock that Lucy had taken from the mantel landed against’ the other side of the door and split the wood. Acts of the Maddened Girl. Mrs. Husbandman rushed to the street and through the window she could see the sick girl in a nude condition, tearing pic- tures from the wall and smashing them. ‘Then she attacked the china and glass, and when almost everything in the shape of an ornament had been destroyed, she ap- peared at the window and smashed a large pane of glass, in addition to tearing away the inside shutters. Lucy was getting too near the front of the house for Mrs. Husbandman, and she ran to the door of the adjoining hou where she could not be seen by the sane girl and where she could get as ance. Hardly had she reached the place designated when thére was another crash, and the nude form of the ‘girl landed on the snow-covered grass. In an instant she was over the fence and on her way across the street. OMcer Hayden Renders Ald. Fortunately for all concerted, Police- man Hayden ef the ninth precinct hap- pened to come along just when he was most needed, and he went in pursuit of the girl. Two neighbors, Messrs. Hall and Meyers, had come from their houses by this time, and they went with the officer and were with him when the girl was picked up out of the snow, where she had lain without covering or other protection. She was then too weak to offer resistance, and the overcoats of the men were put around her and she was carried to her father’s house and made as comforteble as possible. The father had been unable to sleep for almost a week, and during yes- terday he had said queer things, which aroused a fear that his mind, too, wes giving way under the strain. When he was missed from his bed, search was made for him and he was finaily found hanging in the kitchen, as stated. His head was about on a level with the top of the tank and his feet were resting against the water basin. urgent necessity of timely legislation that will make it impossible or illegal for any but the duly authorized representatives or agents of transportation lines to handle, issue, sell or exchange railroad ticket: E.

Mr. Jes® Harris of Tennessee, who for ™many years was chief messenger for ‘he Secretary of the Navy, died yesterday afterncon at Garfield Hespital, where he had been taken a tew weeks ago for treat- ment for appendicitis. He was a courtly, pelished gentleman of aristocratic ante- cedents, and was extremely popular with the officials and visitors to the department. He took a special pleasure in explaining to visitors the merits and pecularities of the models of the vessels of the. navy on ex- hibition near the entrance to the Seere- tary’s office. At the outbreak of the war he was a prosperous merchant at Knox- ville, but afterward suffered reverses. Rep- resentative Whitthorne brought him to Washington about twelve years ago and appointed him messenger to the House naval committee. During Secretary Whit- ney’s administration he was appointed a messenger at the Navy Department and remained there ever since. His remains have been removed to Gaw- ler’s undertaking establishment, but. the arrangements for his funeral have not yet. been made. He was a cousin of ex-Senator Harris of Tennessee and a great friend- ship existed between them. ——=__ FATAL ACCIDENT. , SO Flannel Wrappers-= ‘The wind-up of the season's purchase Black and Gray effects; yoke front, wat- teau back and lined ‘to waist. $1.50 is what they were—Now, Tea Gowns, One or two of a kind left— that’s all—and only a fraction of the price left— Blue, Brown and Green Henrietta Tea Gowns, trimmed with White $5 braid. “Were $12—now ........ .

Taken to Asylum. Karly this morning friends of the family made a move to get the young lady in the insane asylum, and this was started by calling on Sanitary Officer Frank and filing a cértificate of Drs. J. B. Gregg Custis and George W. N. Custis, which reads as fol- lows: “This is to certify that Lucy Taylor is under our professional care; that she has been carefully examined and found to be suffering from acute mania to a degree which makes her dangerous to herself and her family. Further, that she is in such a condition that she cannot be presented be- fore a court of inquiry at the present time. “We therefore ask for a temporary per- mit fcr her admission to ths Government Hcspital fot the Insane. The circumstances are such that we do not hesitate to recom- mend that such action be taken at the ex- pense of the District.” . Sanitary Officer Frank alsc got state- ments of the case from the police end friends of the Taylor family, and this af- ternoon Miss Lucy Taylor was taken over to the asylum. Mr. Taylor's Condition.
