T. McJunkins, will leave this morning for Annis- & Last night at 9 o’clock Chief of Polioe Palmer entered the Enquirer-Sun editorial room and said : “A woman has committed suicide in the Odd Fellows’ building.” The chief left Imme diately, and was soon followed by a mem ber of the staff. On reaching the building the reporter ascended to the socond floor, where he saw a bright light burning and tho forms of disheveled women flitting to and fro past the window. On arriving on the second floor several plainly-ftimlshed rooms with doors opening on the passageway appeared, and in one of them the light and the flitting forms were found. The reporter was invited in by a middle- aged lady in a calico wrapper, whose unkempt hair and jerky movements indicated that she was laboring under considerable excitement. On a neat but cheap bed a young woman of twenty-five tossed and writhed in a half con scious delirium, muttering alternately: “Oh, God!” and “Oh, Johnnie!” At tho bed stood Dr. Cameron with a hypodermic syringe in bis hand, and on the other side stood Chief of Police Palmer and two middle-aged women, one of whom continually pinched and tickled the half doad woman, while the other whipped her in the face with ft wet towel to keep her awake. When the Enquirer-Sun man approached the bedside Chief of Police Palmer said to tho writhing woman : “Mrs. Henley, here’s a reporter. What are you going to say to him ?” She replied: “Oh, Johnnie !” The chief said again : “What have you to say to the reporter?” The woman answered with a gasp, “Tell him to treat me right.” Dr. Cameron said the woman was not out of danger, but that if she could he kept awake a few hours longer she would live. The three ladies in the room besides the would-be suicide were Mrs. Nancy Tilly, Mrs. A. A. Evcridge and Mrs. Christina Cawfield. After the excitement hud somewhat subsided, and the suffering woman became more quiet, the reporter took a chair in the far corner of the room with the jadies named around him, and they clieerftilly agreed to “tell all they knew.” Mrs. Tilly said: “ That woman there that tried to kill herself is Mrs. Cassie Henley, wife of John Henley, a car penter. I went and got the chloroform that she swallowed, for her; but I didn’t know I was doing it. I can’t read writing. She gave me a paper with something written on it this evening, to gether with some money, and told me to go to the drug store under the Rankin House and get the prescription filled. I went and got it. At 8 o’clock she called Mrs. Everidge to the bedside and said: ‘I am going to die. I have taken poison. But don’t tell anybody. I don’t want to live any longer.” Mrs. Everidge and Mrs. Caufield run out then aud went to police headquarters and reported what she had done. They also got a man to telephone for Dr. Cameron, and before they could get back Dr. Cameron was here working on her. She was nearly gone when he arrived. He says in thirty minutes more she would have been too far gone to get over it. We’ve all been working on her ever since like you saw us doing when you came in.” Here Mrs. Tilly was interrupted by Mrs. Hen ley, who wokejout of a stupor aud had a paroxism, during which she screamed “Oh God! oh Johnie!” and had to be held on the bed by main force. Dr. Cameron had already made a hypodermic injection of apo morphia, and he now injected sulphate of atrofia, after which the woman became quiet again. Mrs. Tilly and Mrs. Everidge returned to the window by which the reporter sat and the latter began to interrogate them about the woman’s rash act. They were both unusually communi cative, and for awhile the reporter was put on liis metal in taking down verbatim the conversa tion of the two women, who talked at the same time and with unusual rapidity. Mrs. Tilly said: “It is family trouble. The woman you sco on the bed there is only twenty- five years old, but she has seen a heap of trouble, and, I’m afraid, has made some of it. Her maiden name was Cassie Vining, and her father lives in TusLegce. Her mother died when she was a child, and her aunt raised her. When very young she married a man named Dickens, and he soon died. Seven years ago, she married John Ileuley. I don’t know where he is to-night, but he is in Columbus. He hasn’t been about her for three weeks. They get along very badly to gether. To-day one week ago she went to his father’s house and saw him sitting in the room there. She got some rocks and broke a window iu the house chunking him. He reported her to the polioe, and she was up before the mayor the next morning. She thinks he luvs left her on account of another woman. In the police court she swore that two mackerel and a peck of meal was all lie had sent her since he left I have known them for years, and they have been having a pretty lively time of it. Why, before I moved into this building I came here one night to visit him and her, and I’ll declare, I do, that they got to fighting right before me, their company, and 1 hustled out into another room. Pretty soon he got to choking her, and at last she got away from him and run into the room where I was and I shut her up in there. What do you think of that?” Here Dr. Cameron turned to the reporter and said: “Her husband is a brute. He kicked her in the side once and broke two of her ribs. You just come here to the bed and run your hand down there aud you can feel the broken place in her ribs.” The Enquirer-Sun man blushed and said he would take Dr. Cameron’s word for any thing quicker than that of any man in Columbus, aud that there was no doubt in his mind that the ribs were broken. M's. Tilly, whose every word was assented to by Mrs. Everidge, besides occasional interpola tions, continued: “Mrs. Henley has been mighty blue here lately, and we all suspicioned she would try to take her life, as she kept throwing out hiuts about it. She took a little too much morphine this morning. I think she tried to kill herself then, but she didn’t have enough. But she had a plenty of chloroform, and she wanted to die at once.’ ’ When the reporter left Mrs. Henley was im proving rapidly, and at 1 o’clock she was con scious and strong enough to sit up in bed and eat some crackers and tea. She expressed the profoundest regret aud disappointment that her life had been saved. She will doubtless repeat the attempt if she is not watched. Mrs. Henley wrote several letters after making up her mind to take her life. The reporter man aged to secure these letters. None of them were dated but they weie evidently written yester day afternoon, and were all addressed to her husband. The following letter was no doubt written last. The punctuation, spelling, etc., is reproduced after the manuscript verbatim: Johnie I will say good by till we meet again in the eternity May you never know what it is to suffer both mental and phisicaly as I have May god forgive you I am to day in worse Disgrace than I was when you married me but let me be blamed bv the world I urn williug I had rather to be blamed than you but when you marry again • dont marry for love as you did me for it may turn out os ours has I am not crazey I just feal as if I never can face the world after this. You have caused the people to persecute me when I to day might of been bette. off and you to if we had > never of seen one another l have Decived you when you abused me about things I told you the truth now can you say you will, goodby I am now Done I have strugled long in weakness you are now With the above letter were two more, written with a pencil. The writing is almost illegible, and the paper is dotted with those dim, scorched looking drop stains which arc never made by anything but tears, and in this Instance tears that must have been tinctured with blood. After being corrected the first one of the two reads as fellows, and wnlle writing it, the woman had manifestly reconsidered her intention of taking hor life, and w&s desirous of going away and be ginning life anew somewhere else: “Johnnie: You will please send me $10. I want to leave here ana begin life’s struggles alone. I will let your own conscience be vour accuser. Send the money at once. You said in one court that I was doomed and sentenced. But there is another bar at which you and I will meet, and at that bar all get Justice. At that bar you can bring no enemies in to swear against me. You know as well as your God knows that ifyou had not treated me as you have I would not have done the dirty oft. But it is all over now. I know I have made myself enemies by not making you suffer by the law. But I shall never do it. I have lowered myself to live with you and call you mine, but I take it all for my portion, and I commend myself to the keeping of my God. If I am forsaken of man, He will not forsake me.” Here Mrs. Henley appears to have gone back to her first determination of suicide, for the let ter concludes thus: “Farewell. . You shall never see my fhee n^ain with my consent. ‘God bless yon,’ is the dying prayer of this heart.” Cassie.” One letter among the rest was evidently writ ten several days ago, before Mrs. Henley decided to take her life. It is a most passionate and wailing appeal, and reads as follows: Well, Johnnie, you will neither come nor send me anything to eat. Do you think I am a woman that will let you forsake me in that style? No: if vou want to quit me you will have to leave this town. You can’t treat me this way under my nose. I will live now for revenge. I have got on my knees to you and have prayed day and .night for you to have mercy upon me. I told you if you would return to me I would prove to you what a good wife I could be. I have copied every note I’ve written to you, to prove some day it is not my fault I left you. Don’t you know in court they will say you had a heart of stone to turn a deaf ear to my petition. One more time I will ask you. please, for the love of everything, come home and live with me. Oh, my God! Johnnie, don’t turn a deaf ear to me. Please come home. I am sick-worse than sick.. T am dying of a broken heart. Will you bear my last prayer ? Come home and talk to me. Please come home. Let me know this moment. I am now clown on my knees to my God praying for the man who has so cruelly treated me. But I love him. I would die for him and my poor aching heart will beat its last stroke for him. So far as what you give me is concerned, it is nothing without vou. No; do you think I have lived with you for what you gave me? I want nothing but for you to come home. Please come and give me one more trial. In a postcript to the above letter Mrs. Henley grows facetious by a sudden transition, and says: “If you knew how much fun people are making of you for calling on tho police to quell your wife, you would leave this town.” In a short note which must have been written yesterday evening, Mrs. Henley alludes patheti cally to her dead baby, and tells her husband to sell her “things” and to bury her with the money. In concluding the note she says: “Farewell. Don’t tell the world I was crazy. I am not. But I cannot live and face the world after my disgrace. Cassie.” The “disgrace” alluded to must have been her appearance before Mayor Grimes on the charge of disorder. Mrs. Henley has evidently been trying to live respectably with her husband, even if his leav ing her did cause her to make the rather novel attempt of wooing him back to the home nest with a volley of brickbats. Nor, to do Mr. Hen ley justice, is it any wonder that he protracted his absence after the brickbat episode. The seve ral families who live in the building with the Hen- leys are poor but respectable people, and they seemed to regret the occurrence very much. Mrs. Everidge is a very lady-like woman, and one of more than ordinary intelligence. She said that it was no more than she had expected, and that now it had happened she thought it was no more than right to give the reporter all the facts. Op to a late hour last night, Mrs. Henley was doing splendidly and her husband had not yet been found. A Sensation on Eleventh Street. Yesterday, about noon, while Mr. Hock McKee and his porter Henry were sitting in the office of Mr. McKee’s buggy emporium, something came tumbling down the chimney into the fire-place. They both sprang up to examine it. It was too much covered with soot fit first to be distinguish able, but it was bloody, covered with soot and fresh blood. Henry, the porter, decided that a gray old rat that he had been laying for a long time had fallen and broken his neck. He wasn’t sure it was the rat, however, and he got the poker and stood otf a long ways and touched it gently. He said he didn’t want to take any chances of its jumping on him and biting him. Mr. McKee wasn’t afraid of it at all. He stood about ten feet back of Henry and super intended the investigation. Things were getting interesting. They wouldn’t have left that sooted and blood stained creature that had descended from the skies into their midst to monkey with au earthquake just then. The gore-stained creat ure had two eyes, which were wide open, and and a mouth and lips as hard as horn. After a close scrutiny the strange intruder turned out to be the head of a chicken which had been but recently severed from the body But how it came raining down the chimney is the question. The only solution of it is this: Mrs. Lary’s boarding house is next door to Mr. Me op’s establishment, and a num ber of chickens were killed for dinner yesterday aud their heads were thrown on the vacant lot across the street A cat or a buzzard evidently got one of these heads aud accidentally dropped it down the chimney. Chicken has always been pleutifhl at Mrs. Lary’s, but this is the first time it has rained chicken around there. Henry, the porter, was sorely disappointed^ and he is still laying for a chance to bushwhack and murder tho old gray rat. LOCAL LACONIC’S. 194. Wanted. Three good Milch Cows. Address P. O.

Bradford, Manager. “Not a Qnestlou of Bruin*.** Wichita, Kan., August 22,1886. To the Agent of the Mutual Life—Dear Sir: Success in this world is not a question of brains. Last winter I made the acquaintance of a gen tleman who used to be worth $250,000. During these years he took out $11,000 15 year en dowment in the Mutual Life. When it had run 11 years he broke up in business and lost all but his policy, for which the company paid him $8,000. This gave him a second start. He said: “If I had not taken an endowment policy I would now have to work by the day, as the money paid for the insurance would have gone into the business.” Respectfhlly, D. C McKinnon. Need we say anything relative to the advisa bility of preparing a * financial umbrella for the proverbial “rainy day” by taking a policy in the Mutual Life. * D. F.
