Anderson had committed suicide in a pool of water three feet deep. ' He tied his arms and legs together in a peculiar way, as if to make assurance doubly sure that he should not strug- gle in the water. Anderson slipknot- ted the rope about his legs and car- drawing it so tightly that the fasten- ings could not be removed without cutting them. He had. been missing since yesterday morning, when he left home, taking his shotgun, ostensibly to go hunting. The Coroner will hold an.inquest.

His hand shook so that he could not write his name.- ““I ought to stand at your right while s Wwe- do this, Martha,” said the old man, | bent with his weight of three score | and ten years, as he and his aged bride stood hefore the Justice. “Yes. John,” responded the beaming old lady, “I guess you haven't for- gotten how it is done. You've been married before, you know.” ’ - Romance to delight the souls of the | | the eyes of ‘all lovers, youthful or aged, | is found-in the history of this old | couple.” They met by accident on a | ferryboat several months ago, not hav- i ing seen each other for more than a ‘\ | quarter of ‘a century. Then and there they agreed to kiss and make up. Mr. Gentry lived in this city with a mar- vied daughter, Mrs. Catherine Carpen- | ter, and: Mrs. Gentry had a ‘home of | L her own at 1122 Twenty-third avenue. | Recently the married daughter moved her chattels to a boarding-house, thus ‘depriving the aged man of his home.

They had been playmaties in childhood in Kentucky, but when the girl came to California with. her family in 1849 tientry thought a childhood romance was at-an end. In a few years, however, she returned and at the age of 17 was married to her present husband. Eight years they lived together, children were born and a hapry home was the outcome of the mateh, but when the Civil War eame husband and wife were ranged on op- | posite sides of the conflict. ‘Her sympathies were. with the North, his with the South, and in a fit of tem- | per following a discussion of the | slavery issue Gentry ‘left home and’ went' to the war, joining the Confed- ‘erate forces. He did not return, even wheén the war had closed. Mrs. Gen- try, believing that he had been killed or had deserted her, obtained a divorce in 1874. She came to California with | her children, cne of whom married a Ms. Carpenter. The other is an en- | Company in San Francisco, and living ! at 512 Sixth street in this city. | Mr. Gentry,.too, came to California. He says.he built the first house con- structed in the Yosemite.. He resided with his daughter here. His former wife was in thé same city, but they did not.come together again until their -accidental meeting on the ferryboat. “We are Christians now,” said the aged. lady to-day, “and we thought it fit. that the past be buried and that we live together again as husband and wife. It is better that way.” —_—————— FIRE RALLY PROVES BERKELEY, Sept. 30.—Eight thou- sand people gathered 'in the Greek Theater at the University of California to-night and watched the antics of a thousand more or less sane beings like themselves, called studenu. who held what they called “a fire rally.” Far dewn in the pit below this great crowd was a writhing mass of the species call- ea “rooters.” Every one of them had a torch that sent out an unpleasant, smoky smell, and they squatted around a big fire in the middle of the pit.
