THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY FEBRUARY 20, 1904 COMMITS SUICIDE THROUGH GRIEF OVER LOVER'S DEATH Miss Nellie Murnane, Clerk in a Local Department Store, Grieves Over the Loss of Her Intended Husband and Ends Her Life With Deadly Gas---Annie Rohde Dies Mysteriously at Hotel D055, Armiie RopE . 4 Miss Nellle Murnane, a young woman employed in the *carpet department at the Emporium, committed suicide Thursday night through grief over the lcss of her intended husband, who died of consumptiofi on Thursday afternoon. Connected with the tragedy is the story of a woman's uhtiring devotion | to a man in the clutches of an incur- able disease. When her lover passed away the woman thought life not worth living and scarcely half a day after his death she retired to her room, turned on the gas and died. The man to whom Miss Murnane was to have been married was Clinton War- ren, an engineer, residing at 205 Hyde street. Warren had been sick for some | time, and during the last three months i had been confined to his bed. Miss | Murnane formerly resided with her sis- ter, Miss May Murnane, who conducts a rooming-house at 827 Eddy street. 3 | PrEE AL rE T7oRmas About six weeks ago, when Warren be- gan to waste away, she moved to th2 Maryland;, an apartment-house at 294 | | | her fiance. 1 When she had finished her work Miss | Murnane was wont to v | nurse him.

Hanna were held this afternoon at | St. Paul's Episcopal Church. During this solemn occasion Cleveland was si- lent. Nearly all business was suspend- ed. Street railways and steam road | traffic on every line in the city was stopped for five minutes, from 1 to 1:05 o'clock. People generally in all parts of the city bowed their heads in rever- ence for a brief space of time’at that hour. Thousands who were unable to view | the remains of the dead Senator as| they lay in state in the Chamber of | Commerce auditorium yesteraay and #6-day flocked to the church doors to witness the conveying of the black cas- ket, bearing the remains of the Sena- tor, into the church. They stood there with bared heads and moistened eyes as the cortege moved into the edifice, where the last earthly tribute was paid the dead. Promptly at noon the funeral cortege left the Chamber of Commerce build- ing, preceded by a platoon of police, for the church. Following the police came Troop A as guprd of honor. Then came car- riages'containing the pall-bearers, the Washington delegation, the Governor’s | staff, Chamber of Commerce commit- tee, Loyal Legion committee and dele- gations representing various civic soci eties. Prior to the removal of the body from the Chamber of Commerce to the church the wealth of floral offerings | which were banked about the audito- rium were removed to the church. There they were placed near the ch n- | cel. Admittance to the services at .the church was by card and limited to 800, ! the seating capacity of the auditorium. Reservations on the center aisles were made for the family, the Governor's staff, the Washington delegation and other distinguished guests. The church was filled long before the hour for the services to commence and thousands lined the streets about the edifice. MEET BODY AT CH CH DOOR.

On the way to the cemetery two striking marks of respect were shown the dead Senator. At Adelbert College the students drew up in line in front of | Hatch Library and sstood with un- covered heads as the cortege passed. Again at the Euclid-avenue car.barns, | near the entrance of the cemetery, several hundred employes were drawn up in line and, with bared heads, paid their last respects to the dead. Just as dawn began to break over the ! city to-day the doors of the Chamber of Commerce auditorium, where the bedy lay, werereopened to a vast throng of people, who desired to view the face of the dead rator.

D. Stephens. Stephens, who was a wealthy plant- er, had a few words with Cebays yes- terday and the negro later securing a shotgun killed Stephens at close range. Cebays then made his escape. Bloodhounds were secured to-day and they traced the fugitive to his father's house, where he was found hiding in a well. He made a full confession With hands and feet tied, Cebays was bound to a stake in his father's yard and brush was piled around him. The torch was then applied and the mur- derer was slowly burned to death. ——————— Says Golf is a Cure for Disease. CHICAGO, Feb. 19.—Golf is a sure cure for Bright's disease, according to Dr. E. N.

The choir, under the direction of | Professor C. E. Clemens, then sang the hymn “Lead, Kindly Light.” TRIBUTE TO THE DEAD. Bishop Leonard then delivered the eulogy, speaking as follows: | ‘We are gathered together here to-day in this house of God for the last service of benedic- tion over the body of our distinguished citizen, our kindly neighbor and our beloved friend. The nation has honored him with its clvie | function at the capital of the United States; | the Commonwealth of Ohio, by the hands of | her Governor, has received him back into her care and keeping, and the city has stood si- lently about his bier, reverencing his memory and sorrowing at his departure. And now the holy church would commit his body to the earth whence it came and his soul unto the righteous Savior who redeemed it and who loved it with an infinite affection. It is not the time or place for extended eu- logy and praise; such words will be fitly spoken by those well equipped for such a privi- lege. But there are certain qualities and char- acteristics of this man highly regarded by all classes of people that ought assuredly to receive recognition in the midst of his friends and assoclates, and at this solemn hour the testimonies that have béen given from many and varfed sources blend together in a common strain and harmony as they speak of his high integrity, of his Inflexible and dauntless pur- pose, and his tender, true heart. Those who are assembled here need no in- spiration for their love for this earnest, helptul life. . We knew him well, we loved him we!ll, we mourn for him with undiminished sorrow, but we shall see his face no more. But we may each of us go forth into the life God hath granted us with added enthusiasm for our tasks since we have noted how earnestly he aia his duty for others; and we realize that the world be served is mot unmindful of his greatness and goodness, nor ungrateful for What he strove after and for what he accom- plished. FAIR IN ALL HIS DEALINGS. And first, the universal comment is upon his integrity. This was a keynote in his life. I recall a fine, ringing address he made at Kenyon College last year when the degrees were being conferrcd upon its graduating class. And the thought of his heart found expression in his eloquent words as e urged upon these men the cssential importance of high and pure Integrity. It is this word that is carved deep upon the stone that marks his long and vsaful business career. He was not only honcst, but he was fair and just in all his dealings. He was respected by every oge in his employ. ‘Each man of the hundreds that look=d up to him felt that in the mastr mind_there was always the clear, unshak- able light of Integrity. His fleld was an open one and his methods were never belittling or degrading. ‘Though the arrows fly swirtly, yet do they fall from such a shield harm: and the champlon sustained by his in- v stands forth unscathed and triumphant n example to the young men D and longer than it does normally. halr ever possessed by a ¢! any devartment of endeavor. is a_legacy to the ardent youth of our great republic.

The choir sang the hymn “Forever ‘With the Lord, Amen, So Let It Be.” Dr. G. H, McGrew, rector of St. Paul's Church, followed with the creed and prayer. The anthem, “I Heard a Voice From Heaven,” was sung by the choir. BODY PLACED IN A CRYPT. Bishop Leonard then read the com- mittal service and pronounced the benediction. The body, only accom- panied by the family and pallbearers and Bishop Leonard, proceeded slowly out Euelid avenue to Lakeview Ceme- tery, where a final farewell of the dead was taken in Wade Memorial Chapel.
