Vielette of 1 Colum- bia street, Meriden, while in the apart- ments of his fiancee, Miss Cora Bloom- ingdale, at 110 Ann street, Saturday night, was due to some drug taken with suicidal intent.

The room was in dis- order, smaller articles having been thrown about and broken, giving in- tions of great suffering before death came.

FIFTEEN FROM NORWICH. Commercial Travelors Had Grand Time at Providence Despite Rain. Fifteen commercial travelers from this city spent a wet but enjoyable day in Providence Saturday attending the festivities in connection with the 14th annua] meeting of the grand council, which had transacted its business the previous day. Saturday was given over to pleasure with a programme excellently arranged with that end in view, but a northeast storm put quite a damper on the proceedings, prevent- ing the baseball game and & pro- gramme of sports that had been ar- raged. Providence council, which was entertaining the commercial men, did its best under the circumstances and the exuberant - spirits of the knights of the sample case laughed at_even the weather clerk. The opening feature of the day Sat+ urday was the parade, with almost a thousand in line, and carried out un- der a pou rain for a good part of the way, vet scarcely a man faltered and there was enthusiasm all along tre route, Norwich council, No. 309, in the fourth division, was represent- ed by Senior Councillor Charles S.

Young, Jr., who was on the hom- orary staft, had a place at the head of the procession right behind the big band and the silk banners. Every council in Nef England was represented and a couple of salesmen from distant points who found out what was going on promptly gave up all thoughts of work and joined the procession. One _carried ‘a banner, “All Alone from Grand Rapids” and the other was labeled.with this sign, “The Only One from West Virginia." Some councils were lucky and had provided colored umbrellas and all the others were forced to use the regu- lar everyday kind. The Connecticut men wore white caps with Blue peak and the name of the state on the cap. Right-behind them in the parade were the Bridgeport members, who: charter- ed a couple of automobiies for the pa- rade and there was also an automobile for a group of women travelers. Bos- ton had the largest delegation in line, about 200, Providence next with 150, and Worcester 125 The parade ended at the dock, where the steamer City of Newport was tak- en for a trip to Crescent park, where an excellent shore dinner was served to nearly 800 men.

McClure. _Philadelphia, June 6.—Col. Alexan- dér M. McClure, prothonotary of the supreme and superior courts of Penn- | sylvania, and for many years a prom- inent figure In politics and journal- ism, died today at his home in Wali- ingford, Delaware county, age 81 years. Philadelphia, June 6.—Colonel Me- Clure had been suffering from infirmi- ties due to his advanced years for some time, and today was the first time in more than a week that he felt able to leave his room. In company with his- brother-in-law, Alfred Gratz, he sat on theporch of s home for a short time this afternoon. Feeling himself growing weaker, he asked to be assisted to a lounge in_the parlor, and died a few minutes after he had Dbeen assisted into the house. 3 Colonel McClure was born in Perry county, Pennsylvania, and when only 19 years of age became the editor of the Juniata Sentinel. Two years later he was_appointed on the staff of Gov- ernor W. F. Johnson, whom he had supported in is newspaper. is first political prominence was in 1853, when he was nnominated and de- feated for auditor general by the whigs. A member of the republican convention which nominated Lincoln in 1860, Colonel McClure was the one who suggested that the Pennsylvania delegates should break away from Si- mon Cameron of Pennsylvania and vote for Lincoln. This was done, and Lincoln's name stampeded the conven- tion. ‘Whe nthe civil war broke out Col McClure was a leader in the state sen- ate, and urged vigorous action. He was chairman of the committee on military affairs and was closely iden- tified with the war policy of Governor Curtin. He formed close relations with President Lincoln and his cabinet, and took a prominent part in national poli- tics. A3 adjutant general he superin- tended the drafting of Pennsylvania troops. i Colonel McClure came to Philadel- phia more than fifty years ago, where for a time he practiced law. In 1873 he was defeated for mayor of Philadel- ghia by a emall majority, after a bit- er contest. With the late Frank Mc- Laughlin he established the Times, and for years wielded a trenchant edi- torial pen. One of the greatest battles was a crusade against the “dandy mayor,” William B. Smith. His bitter attacks upon Mayor Smith's adminis- tration caused the latter to bring suit for libel against the Times. Smith was given a verdict of nearly $50,000. After advancing years had caused him to give up his editorial labors, he busied himself with writing his remin- iscences and in_revising several of his earlier works. In 1903 hewas appoint- ed prothonotary of the supméme and superior courts of the state: He was for many years president of the Clover club. MME. STOESSEL ACCUSED.

Help Came After an Hour. He lustily shouted for heip and word was carried to the reservation police, but it was nearly an hour after Mrs. Cohen jumpeq into the river that Of- ficer James Martin arrived with ropes and Representative James S. Shmons and three other men. Rescue Rope Three Times Thrown. Three times they threw the rope be- fore it fell within Cohen's grasp. When he did catch it he was too weak to tle it about his own or his wife's waist. The two were twenty feet away from shore and it was extremely difficult, owing to the precarious na- ture of the footing, to' make a good cast. Pinned against the tree stump b the terrific rush of water all the strength had gone out of Cohen. And, too, he had been unable to keep his wife's face above wat Lost Grip on Wife’s Body. Once Cohen had hold of the rope, the men on shore began to pull and Officer Martin, who was in the front, slioped and fell into the stream, but quickly regained his feet. When within ffty feet of the shore Cohen lost his orip on his wife's body and it was carried oft down stream and was lost to view. Husband Rescued. Cohen was so far gone when the rescuers got him on shore that he could not spealk for ten minutes. His first words we there. Go and get her. She died in my arms. Wife's Body Found. Meanwhile a crowd had gathered. Superintendent Perry and Chief Shoe- bridge swirted the Goat Isiand shore looking for the woman's body, but could see nothing of it. Cohen joined them, always insisting that the body must have stopped short of the cat- aract and might be recovered by men daring enough. William Barnet and Hugh Brown, who had joined the searchers, finall spied the ‘body just before 7 o'clock. It was held fast by a rock about one hundreq feet above the brink. With- out ropes Brown and Barnet waded out into the stream and moving carefully over the slippery rocks reached -the body. Just as Brown touched the hody the current caught it again iad it whirleq around in an eddy. (1t was with the greatest difficulty that the two men brought it to land. Life was quite extinct. Case of Suicide. Cohen says that worr- over the fact that she was unable to suckle her in- fant depressed his wife greatly and probably caused her desire for death. He, a robust man, quickly recovered trom the shock of his experience, : “She’s out She is dead. THIEF GETS RARE COINS. Breaks Into Utica Public Library and Takes Five Hundred.

Talahasses, Fla., June 6.—Dangling from a limb of a 'tree in the county Jailyard, and within sight of thé dome of the Florida state capitol, the lifeless body of Maik Morris, a negro, met the gaze of\the people of this city this morning. Condemned to death for the murder of William Langston, late sher- iff of this county, the negro would have within a few weeks legally pald the penalty of the crime with his life. A mob of not more than fifteen men about 5 o'clock this morning dragged Morris from his cell and strung him up to a tree within the ‘ail enclosure. The masked band then emptied a round of cartridges into the corpse and rode away unmofested. When the mob ar- rived at the jail they brought the jailer to the door with the ruse that they had a prisoner, overpowered him and took his keys. ' After securing the ne- gro they locked the faller in Morris’ cell and soon accomplished their work. Sheriff Houston was in Georgia at the time. Morris had been acting strangely and it is belleved the fear that the negro might escape the gallows by Pittsburg, Pa., June 6.—A hrutal oute rage perpetrated by unknown robbers today at Belmont, P: near here, has aroused the community and a lync ing is threatened In the event the men are captured.
