Buell, a son-n:law of Chaplain Wright, committed sulcide last ovening by shooting himself, in a fit of mental depression, at tho resi- dence of his father-in-law. The re port of the platol was not heard by any one, and from the time ho was last eoen alive until he was found dead, a perlod of about four or five houras had elapsed. The particulars, na far as known may be gleamed from the testimony of Chaplain and Mes, Wright and Drs. Livingston and Hall, given at the coroner’s in- quest. Ohaplain Wright's testimony was in substance as sollows: *‘Mr. Baell left the room where we wera sitting, about half past three o'clock, and the supposition was that he had gone up stairs. He didn’t come down, and I went up to see what the matter was, not knowing his mind was in an unsettled condition, He was not there,and I concluded he had gone down town, as he was looking fora letter from his wife. I began to feel uneasy, and between five and six o'olock went down town to look tor bkim. Not fiading him, I concluded he had gone to the junction to meet his wife. I left word withJ. N. Wiee, and he also started out to help hunt him Mrs. Wright had oocasion about 8 o'olock to go to the water closet, and felt timid about1t. 1 went out and stood on the porch. The door to the water oloset opened toward the inside. She sald she ocouldn't get the door open and that some one was inside. I went out and discovered that some one was inside, and put my hand around and it rested on his neck and ear. I found his neck cold. Itold my wife it was Wi lard, and that he was dead. I went over for Will and P, L. Wise, and we telephoned for Dz, Livingston and Sheriff Hyers. He (Mr. Buell) has been nsane at times for years. His head trouble affected his mind. He showed eigna of ineanity Thurs- day, but none Wednesday, He said he woald rather die than live. I have noticed a tendeucy to insanity for three or four years, I think it was hereditery, I had no hope of his re- covery. Dr. Livingston, Will Wise, P. 8. Wiee and J. N. Wise brought hfm into the house.” Mrs. Wright testified that she had | known Mr. Buell for elghtosn or nine- teen yenrs; that he has not been right in his mind eince he bhas been here, and that he was worse yesterday. She firet discovered him about the time the train came in, between seven and eight o'clock. Didn't know that he ever threatened to take his own life, He was 44 or 45 years of age. Dr. Livingston examined the de- ceas d, snd enyo that death was caused by a small pistol ball entering the traln about one iuch below the ooel- pital, ranging forward and upward,and thut 1he wound could have been pro- duced by deceased’s own hand.

The glove rings introduced not long ago where the stones were set flush with the sur- face of the gold were the most favora- ble to the use of THE BOGUS GEMS, and in these they have about their only wear In better circles. Some of the bogus dlamonds are made by covering quartx crystals with » sort of hard %:wdcr, alleged to be the dust of the bona fide gems.

He asked Dr. Liv- ingston If anything else ailed him, and the dootor told him ‘‘No,” where- upon he replied that if he couldn't get well he would rather be dead. Dr. Hall corroborated the testimony of Dr. Livingston In regard to the wound, The testimony of Will Wise, P. L. Wise and J.
