HER MOTHER COMPLAINED OFP HER CONDUCT AND WAS TO HAVE HER SENT TO A REFORM SCHOOL-ADMITLED THAT SHB WANTED TO DIE-ITER- RIBLE SUFFERING JUST BE- FORE DEATH. From the Union-Sun of June .7. Miss Floreence Weaver, the 15 year old adopted daughter of Mrs. Auna Weaver of 436 Washburn Street com- mitted sulcide yesterday. It seems that for some time the girl had not been living the kind of life which met with the approbation of her mother and a complaint was made to the police au- thorities. a Yesterday morning Mis. Weaver told hor daughter that she was going to take her to Police Station and have her appear before Judge Stevens. 'The girl then must have taken some rough on rats before' she mother to the station. At Police Head- quarters she became very sick and vomited continually. Her mother did not know what the matter was and the girl would not tell. Judge Stevens told the mother of the girl to take her home as he would not sentence a girl who was sick. The mother was instructed to bring the girl to the station again the next day when the papers would be made out and the girl sent to a reform school. 'The girl continued to suffer and seemed to grow worse. She and her mother went to their home on a street car, and the girl was sick all the way 1 home. - After arriving home Dr. G. J. Pettit was summoned and found the girl lying on the bed when he arrived at the house at 9 o'clock in the morning. She told the doctor that she had taken rough on rats to commit suicide. The doctor called Drs. M. S. and F. A. Kittinger who used a stomach pump. Later in the day, Dr. Hurd was summoned and a consultation was held. Dr. Pettit was seen by a Union-Sun reporter this morning and said: \I had some-hopes of saving the girl up to noon yesterday when I saw from her symp- tons that she could not live but &a short time. She suffered terrible agony, but was not unconscious until a short time before death occurred when she had convulsions. She told me what she had done and said that she did it to take her life. Death occurred at 3:40 yesterday afternoon.\ = Coroner H. H. Mayne said this morn- Ing: \I have been notified of the death of the Weaver girl and was at the resi- dence at 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon. I will not hold an inquest as I think it was a very clear case of suicide.\ 'The remains were this afternoon taken to St. Louis, Michigan. CHRISTIANITY NOW AND THEN. Journal of L. W.

'The church people and Christian people for those who think they are Clristlans) are far more liberal to-day than 1820. , Then everybody had his eyes ou his neighbor, to see that no one broke the Subbath, 'They wanted to get everybody into paradise, if they failed to get there themselves, no work of any kind must be done, one must keep sacred every Saturday or Sunday night, If you did not comlaint was made to the \select men,\ and they im- posed a fine, one must go to meeting every Sunday rain or shine. We boys used to wash up, put clean rags on our sore toes and start for meeting. We had to go three miles to a Quaker meet- ing house, with a partition through the house, On one side the woman and on the other the men, Many a Sunday they would get all the time and the \spirit\ would not move and not a word would be said, then they would shake hands and leave, at other times the spirit would move big. There was a man by the name of Medad Allen, when the spirit moved him, it was a big one, he would talk anything but re- ligion, and keep talking. The brothers held a meeting and voted that the next time Medad got on his big talk ten stal- wart brothers should take him out of the meeting. One Sunday shortly after 'old Medad got a going big, the two brothers took him up and started to carry him out of the meeting, he raised his voice louder than ever, and said: \In the words of another how much greater man am I than Jesus Christ was for he only rode upon one Jackas, and I ride upon two.\ « 'They all shook hands and the meet- ing was closed. 1 was a boy then in old Coanttat, Con- necticut, and going home from meeting one Sabbath I saw a chipmunk on the stone wall and boy like picked up a stone and threw it at it, and killed it. I was arrested ond taken before the \select men,\ and fined six York shil- lings, for the ungodly act. There were no Temperance societies In those days. Everybody drank New England rum and molasses or if they were able sugar. One Minister rode on horseback to visit his parishioners, and wlien he came they would set on the decanter and sugar and he would fill up. One diy when he was pretty full he said to me: \Boy what is the chief 'end of man, hic hic,\ without stopping to thinksIL said: \To get all the rum and sugar that you can.\ He replied; \Hic hic, you are an ungodly cuss, hic, hic, ind need a good flogging,\ but when he got ready to go, askéd us to help him on his horse. He said: \Hic hic, boys you must doias I tell you and not do, hic, hig, as T do,\ About this time they started what, they called the \Cold water\ society, ind many stopped drinking Now England rum and joined.

Sent His Sister's Beau On a Lively Run. , THE QUIET OF LEWIS STREET WAS MUCH DISTURBED ON LAST FRIDAY EVENING-A , SMOKER JOINS THE RACB- THE FUGI TIVE TAKES TO,[HE FIELDS A party which was held at a Lewis Street residence onlast Friday evening had an exciting termination. It seems that after the close of the festivities two of the invited guests were making their way home when the fun began. One of the young ladies present had accepted the company of a young man to accompany her to her home when she had gone some little distance with the man of her choice and was listen- ing to pleasant stories and enjoying the radient light of the moon she was confronted by her elder brother who demanded why she was with that fel- low. An excited conversation followed be- tween the girl's beau and her brother. The outcomeof thematterwas that after the gallant young man refusel to leave his lady friend the big brother took it upon himself to separate them and he brought into the argument one or two Of his strong right handers which were followed by a couple of upper cuts. The blows had a remarkable effect upon the young man who was escorting the girl home. . Z He tried to resist, but only for one short instant, and then with a cry like an Indian on the great plains of the west. he took to his feet 'and ran as though a Polar Bear was in pursuit. He succeeded in keeping in the lead. of the girl's brother who gave chase, but in going through an alley, he ran against 1a man who was in front of his house peacefully smoking his evening pipe. 'The pipe was knocked down the throat of the smoker and two of his front teeth were heard to strike the pavement as the fugative dashed on. The smoker also joined in the pursuit of the beau who by this time was far from the slick looking gentleman he was when he started home with his lady love. &o 8 His clothes were covered with dust and in several places they were torn. His patent leather shoes were torn and he looked as though he had run a gauntlet between two lines of Pata- gonian savages. Finding that he could not elude his pursuers by keeping in the street he took to jumping fences and after making a complete tour of the southeastern part of the city he at last reached his home. It is needless to state that he has not been with the young lady who has the terrible brother since. - MATRIMONIAL. i WOODBURY-SHAW.

A PADDED CELL-THE PRISON- ER WAS HELD BY FIVE MEN- DR. KITTINGER CALLED. | From the Union-Sun of June 29. George Barrett, a prisoner of the - County Jail, who is awaiting the action. of the Grand Jury on the charge of breaking into the house of Mr. Dunni- gan in the Town of Pendleton and steal- ing some household effects was yester- day seized with violent insane fits. It seems that the prisoner was at one time an inmate of the Providence In- sane asylum at Providence, Rhode Island. At the time of his arrest the prisoner was in company with Edward. Thomas -and was found in the farmer's house enjoying a chicken dinner.. A Union-Sun reporter this afternoon hada talk with the companion of Bar- rett, who said: \The prisoner is sub- ject to epeleptic fits and some times is very violent.\. a It took five men to hold Barrett last evening. The neighbors in the vicinity of the jail were. kept awake by his: shouts. He would throw: himself against the sides of his cell and was badly bruised. This afternoon he had been hand-cuffed and was tied to a bed. - It is necessary that the, County Jail should be furnished with a pad- ded cell for such prisoners. If Bar- rett had not been watched he would, have; done himesif - considerable in- jury. * \ Dr. F. A. Kittinger, the Jail physician was called and injected morphine. -' THE SPORTSMEN. - Held a Shoot on the Fair Grounds Yesterday. _ THB NEW | ELECTRIC - TRAPS- WERE USED AND SOME GOOD SCORES ~-MADE-THE- INDIVID- UAL SCORE.
