It was decided at a meeting
called by Prof. Sommerville, yes-
teray afternoon, that the teachers
and pupils of our public school
shall assemble at the school build-
ing on the morning of July 4th,
prepared to join the procession
and participate in the parade.
Che following ladies from the
first ward have been appointed a
committee on tables for the 4th of
July.: Mesdames »Winn, Sanford,
Ledrick, Watt, Lingo, Peek, Chil- pickles by Messrs. Bennett & Co.
ton, Gheen and Misses Sibley and 'for the Fourth of July celebration.
Gardner.
Several trees were blown down
during the severe wind storm last
night. Signs and some small build-
ings were demolished.
A gentleman living in the west-
ern part of the cty cleaned out
his well yesterday and took there-
from a horse leg which some mis-
creat had thrown in it.
Pretty near the entire afternoon
yesterday was occupied in examin-
ing witnesses in .a case before
Esq. Kirk, in which a certain lady
is accused of having stolen a
mocking bird from a German lady.
The case bids fair to rival the cel-
ebrated trial before King Solomon.
Two fino beeves have been con-
tributed by Messrs. L. G. Cairns

About 2 p. m. Tuesday, the
2&th, W. C. Blake, assistant store
keeper of the M-K-T. ‘motive pow-
er department, went into the store
house to bill out some supplies,
when he noticed beneath the hang-
ing gallery or loft on one side of
the building a huge pool of blood
into which a little stream was still
dripping from the gallery above.
He at once notified Chief Clerk
E. E. Brown, who ascended to the
loft to ascertain what was the
mater. In the farthorest corner
of the swinging platform was
found the body of Chief Store
Keeper James W. Rowley still
bleeding from a deep wound in
and L. McMurtrv and a barrel of |^c, ncc*L but with life already

extinct. The unfortunate man had
returned from dinner about 1 p.
m. seemingly in his usual health
and spirits, had climbed up on the
gallery, where he often took an
afternoon nap, and was seen no
more until found dead. He had
taken down a couple of cab cu-
shions from a pile on the platform
and lying prone upon these, with
his head thrown back, had driven
the long, sharp blade of a small
penknife info the neck on the left
I side beneath and below the ear
jand drawing it forward about
three inches, had severed the ear-
lotid artery and jugular vein. Ko
! written communication was left
to ascribe a motive for the fear-
( ful deed. Rowleys’ friends had no-
! ticed for some time that his con-
i duet was queer. Two weeks ago
Mr. Rowley handed A. H. Coffin
an envelope with instructions not
to open .t for a while. Mr. Cof-
,fin, who was supieious of his men-
tal condition, warned him not to
ido anything rash, to which he re-
plied: “Oh, no. All that has been
done already." When the news
of his suicide spread up town, Mr,
Coffin opened the envelope and
found it to contain the key to a
•box which Mr. Coffin had been
keeping for him in the safe. This,
on being opened, was found to
contain a will made about two
years ago and a life insurance
I policy for $2,000 and a few val-
uable papers.
| Mr. Rowley was married about
five weeks ago to Miss Nellie
