Sad Suicide of a Beautiful Young Lady, Who Loved Not Wisely But Too Well.

On the 28th of March a man and woman, representing themselves to be man und wife, presented themselves to Mrs. Irish, the superintendent of the Grand Opera Ilouse Block, " aijting to rent a room in which to live. Mrs. insu was particular to question them as to the fact of their being married. They said they were, and even went so far as to offer to produce theircertificateof marriage. Mrs. Irish did not insist on that, af ter they had been willing to produce it, but felt willing to believe them, and consequently rented them room No. 31 which is situated on the north side of the building lookingout on the alley, between the building and the New-Denison House. They represented that their names were Griflin. and that he was the baggage man at the New-Denison. The furniture of the room was their own. It was Hot costly, but neat and comfortable. The girl was, in appearance, a picture of modesty and spent most of her time in her room. Mrs. Irish did not know where she took her meals. GrilBn was often seen going in and out of the building and had the appearance of a trusty, honest, hard-working man. All was as smooth as the placid waters, and no grounds for the rising of suspicion until Wednesday afternoon about 3 o'clock, when a lady appeared at the building and asked Mrs. Irish if "Miss Grifiln was in her room." Mr. Irish informed her: that "Mrs. Griffin was in her room." Mrs. Irish conducted the lady to the room, where she remained a few moments. As she came from the room she was met by Mrs. Irish in the hall. The lady then aid to Mrs. Irish that the lady in room No. 31 was Miss Ella Griffin; that she was her cousin, and the man that represented himself to be the husband of the girl was her brother, and that he had a wife and three children living in this city. Mrs. Irish then demanded that the wife be brought to the room of the girl by the sister. This was agreed upon and soon the wife was in the presence of the mistress of his household. A long conversation followed, to whic h Mrs. Irish was a witness. The wife took with her the marriage certificate which showed that she was the wife of Mel G irlin, and that her maiden name was Nellie Johnson. In the conversation Mrs. Giffin proper said to the girl with whom her husband had been living, that if she had an affection for Mel, she (the wife) would ask to be divorced and allow her to take him. The girl confessed it all, and told about the following story. She said she came here from Franklin at the time above mentioned, when the room was rented for the purpose of getting work. The day of her arrival here she met Mel Griffin, and he induced her to the life of shame as above narrated. Soon after the departure of her cousin and the wife, the poor girl, almost frantic with grief over the exposure of her shame, left her room and went to a drug store and purchased a goodly quantity of morphine, which she took upon retiring to her room, about half past 5 or 6. It was but a short time after until Griffin went into the room. He had discovered the condition of the girl, and went out into the hall where he met Mrs. Irish and informed her of the girl's condition. Mrs. Irish, with him, entered the room where the girl was in an unconscious condition. Mrs. Irish dispatched Griffin for a physician.' He immediately left the room, and has not since been seen. lrs. Boynton. Compton and Morrison were summoned by other parties. The physicians made all possible effort to save the girl's life, but she was too far gone when discovered. While the unfortunate girl was in the last throes of death, the cousin of the girl and sister of Griffin returned, accompanied by Griffin's mother, who said that the unfortunate irirl's name was Ella Griflin, and that she was a daughter of Thomas Griffin, a respected farmer living near Franklin, lnd. The girl died at ten minutes past 10 o'clock last night. The body was taken in charge by Warner, the undertaker, me girl is described as being quite beautiful, with a form symmetrical and about twentv-two vears of age. Griffin i in the employ of Frank Bird as driver of his baggage wagons. An inquest will be held to-day. The girl's friends at Franklin were telegraphed to last night late. LITKK iltV. Well, now, I shoula remark. Talk about vour pleasant times, your gay times, your happy times where enjoyment reigned supreme, and care and perplexity went a begging, you should have been to the "Garfield" Tuesday night. We looked to the right of us eyes I laughing eyes dangerous eyesmelting eyes, velvet-fringed cheeks, rosy cheeks, hollow cheeks, all kinds o cheeks. To the left of us, manly forms, boyish forms, fierce moustaches and flashing peepers, big feet and little feet, pretty girls and ugly girls, fond mothers and doting fathers, a crowd, large, happy, smiling. Promptly at half pat eignt o'clock, Pre6i dent Evans tapped the marble with his gavel and quick as flash all present in reverence bent while Mr. Willis Black ad dressed the throne of gracr. "My Hus band's Second Wife' was then read with pleading effect by Mrs. M. Lee, followed by "Lord Burleigh's Rride." bv Mrs. Susie Floyd, which proved to be one of the best efforts ot the evening. The lady possesse good voice and pronunciation, and could by a little application to minor details in elocution take a front rank among readers anywhere. Mr. Samuel Jones the elocu tionist, a volunteer for the evening, rend by request "The llridge of Sighs" in his most finished and euperb manner, lhe poem, as most all scholars are a ware is the most touching and moving appeal to the heart for charity for the erring that exists in the English language, and in order to be read cor. rectly and effectively, the reader should be able to comprehend and grasp the tender and realistic pathos that forms the chief power of the poem. That Mr. Jones pop ses?es this rare gift in a more than ordinary degreo all competent judges who listened to him cn this occasion must attest, to say nothing of his rich musical voice and strong facial expression. "The Rubbish of the World," a humorous sketch from the Detroit Free Press wa9 the next course on the bill offered by W. A. Sweeney, "A Woman's Answer," recitation by Miss Sarah Johnson. Miss Johnson is one of our most versatile young ladies, possessing a great stock of native ability, joined to moral courage and brilliant talent", which make her quite without a rival in her specialties. This Heart is Almost Broken," duett, Miss Sarah Johnson, alto Mrs. Susie Floyd, soprano, Miss Ena Waiden organist, fairly took the audience by storm, an encore was the result. The organist, Miss Ena Waiden, proving htTsell quite at home with the instrument. Mr. Charles Stepp, President of the ''Drop," leing discovered in the audience, was called upon to make a fow remarks, which, boing complied with in an able manner, brought the programme down to the address of lion. R. B. Bagby, subject, "Heroism." Space prevents us from giving that extended notice of the Honorable gentleman's addross befitting it. Suffice it for us to say at this writing that in point of profoundity of thought, breadth and depth of conception, it was an unbroken column, such an effort as we had a right to expect from the man. "There was a sound of revelry" below. Carrifd along by the magnetic, pressing throng, we landed there, stunned, surprised, bewildered. A sealed envelope was given us. With feverish haste we tore the seal apart shades of boyhood's days I A necktie, clean, but calico met our gaze. Eager- I

lv we sought the fair one who wore the

other apron string. We found herr a stick of striped candy became our reward. And thus the night wore away; happy, gl eesome night. The programme next 1 ufdy men will contain many gems, among iLe:n n address bv J.'T. B. Hill. BalUd, (select) The violets on my angel mother's grave' bv the Misses Fry. Address, by Mr. Loyd James. Subject of debate, "Resolved, That man is naturally depraved. Affirmative, Charles Lucas; negative, W. A. Sweeney. And one other exercise which we have been forbid to speak of by the ladies in charge. Come early. - THIS DROr. Tho exercises at this society last Monday night were also choice and elegant, provoking much mirth and amusement. The sub ject of debate, ''Resolved, that man will do more for woman than gold, was discussed in a rincine manner bv Messrs. Outland. Franklin, Stepp. Early and others. The programme next Monday night will consist of an address by E. E. Outland; essay, Sam uel Early; recitation, W. Lewis ballad, by the Lewelen sisters; reading, by W. A. Sweeney; ballad, (select), Samuel Jones. The Child. NKW HOOKSThe following valuable new books are for sale by Bowen, Stewart & Co., 18 West Washington Street: "The Easiest Way in Housekeeping and Cooking." Adapted to domestic use or study in classes. By Helen Campbell, late Superintendent of the Raleigh (N. C.) Cooking School; author of 'Chips from a Northwestern Log," etc. lGmo. Cloth, $1.00. Whoever will read Mrs. Campbell's spicy Introductory Chapter will gain at once an idea of what this little book is meant to do and a belief that the author has the ability to accomplishh her intention. And a careful examination of the book itself will confirm this belief. Mrs. Campbell then proceeds to show why certain admirable books are not suitable for her purposes, in starting at the foundation and building up in the mind of readers or students an intelligent knowledge of the principles of bodily life and its sustenance by home comforts and wholesome, relishful food. Part I. of her book treats of the Situation and Arrangement of the House; Ventilation, Drainage, and Water Supply; Daily Routine of Work; Fires, Lights and Utensils; Washing; Food and Health; Condiments and Beverages, etc. Part II. treats of Marketing and Cooking, with several hundred excellent Practical Recipes and hints from the cookery of wther nations; yet neither on the basis of high-spiced luxury, nor that of meals costing li2ö cents for 25 people' but such as are needed by the vast majority of American families, namely, people in "moderate circumstances." The peculiar value of the book lies in this fact, and in the additional one that the author leaves nothing to done "according to taste" or "according to judgement,'' but specifies in each case the "tablespoon ful of butter' or "half a teaspoon ful of salt" and the exact amount of pepper or what not, with directions to "bake an h. ur," or "boil an hour and a-half," or "allow so-and-so many minutes to the pound," etc., knowing that where cooks become experienced and skilful enough to Lave any "ta-te"' or "judgement" they will vary instruciioi s in ILeir own way. Flirtation Camp: or The Rifle, Rod and Gun in California." A sporting romance. By Theodore S. Van Dyke. 12mo., extra cloth, beveled edges, gilt coer design, $1 50. Fords, Howard & Hulbert, New York, Publishers. This readable-looking volume is a verj successful attempt to combine the interest of a novel with lhe more practical features of an authoritative work on the hunting and fishing of a country celebrated amorg sportsmen. It was a happy idea of the author's to set down, in that sunny, luxuriant land, known as southern California, a merry party from the East, and, by following their adventures in this happy hunting ground, under the expert guidance of a skiilful chaperon familar with the country, to impart the information that all who love the rod and gun will value and enjoy. "Ploughed Under; The Story of an Indian Chief." Told by himself. With an in troduction by Inshta Theamba (' Bright Eyes " of the Poncas). lGmo., cloth $1. Tubli-hed by xordi, Howard and ilulbert, New York. A striking and significant titl is this " Ploughed Under,'' when used in the connection with its sub-title, The Story of an Indian Chief," for it indicates unerringly the steady and irresistible advance of the ploughshare of civilization, and its turning under the native growth of the prairies. To make still more plain the naming of thobook, the ink cover design shows, betides the title, an outline profile view of Crawford's famous statue of " The Indian," in the Library of the JSew lork Historical Society, the force and power of which give a most artistic effect, while tho profound despondency of the attitude of the figure portrays in unmistakable hieroglyphic the meaning of the book. It 1 ituiuored That the Kid " has joined a temperance society. That as a Shakenpearist, John Martin is a successist. That some of the young men failed to reciprocate at the neck-tie festival. That JohnnyPurnell, our Johnny, is 'taking the bakery shop" in Cincinnati. That Billy Bell has stopped boarding at the Denison. Cause assigned the back gate has been repaired. That Henry Tompkins will go on the stage toon, making his debut in Stevens' great play, ' Unknown." That Miss A. couldn't get away with the doughnut, although Miss L. and Miss M. applied their hands vigorously to her back. JO UN KKUWM'it BODY. While It JAt Moulticrinu in the Grave, HI Widow Live In Poverty. Sax Francisco, Cal., April 5. The widow and daughter uf oid John Brown are now living in obscurity and poverty on a hmall farm near San Jose, forty miles from this city. The widow is about seventy years of age, and tho burden of her support falls entirely upon the daughter, a worthy and cultured lady, who is illy fitted for rough farm work, which she is obliged to perform to eke out a scanty maintenance. Their place is mortgaged for $1,000, and payment of interest on this debt seriously embarrasses them. A local paper, the San Jose Mercury, calls on residents of that place, as well as admirers of John Brown elsewhere in the State and country, to raise a fund to pay off this debt and assure these deserving women of a competence for the remainder of their days. Contributions forwarded to the Bank of San Jose or the Mercury office will bo applied to the object intended. Church iteneUt. As announced in the Leader of last week the entertainment for the benefit of Zion A. M. E. Church, took place last Tuesdav and Wednesday evenings, at the Michigan street jjaptist inurcn. me lecture room of the Church was crowded both evenings; as will be seen the affair was not onlv con ductive to the pleasuro of those who at tended, but the financial results were verv gratifying to those concerned. Five prizes were ouered to the nve persons who solicited the most money for the Church. The first prize, a very Danasome uressing case, was secured bv Mrs. Marv Tanner, she having - , r returned the most money of any one person, the amount being $34.30. The second prize

a rcking-chäir, was awarded to Mrs. Mary Miller, who reported $26.16. The third priae, a barrell of flour, went toMn. Hester Grait, who collected $17.41. Tho lourth

Bv this aoeans alone $110 was obtained. The proceeds of the festival will swell the amomt to more than $800. This sueaka well for the enercv ofth pastor and members of the congregation. A Much Needed Ileform. The Church authorities ought, by all means to put a stop to the disgraceful habit some yung men and boys have of congre gating ana carousing around the Uhurch door during services. The habit is not only loaferisi and deeradiusr in those who follow. it, but causes reflections not the best to be cast on the church, and is a very great annoyance to those who come for the purpose of worship. Brazil Items. S. W. Stewart, of Terre Haute, was in the city visiting friends, and looking fine. Call again. Mr. narry Bass, formerly of this city, but now of Sullivan, gave us a flying trip last week. One more subscriber for the Leader Rev Tucker for three months.

IThe Nation.l The pass to which foreigners may be led by mistaking so-called Americanisms for the normal and habitual speech of the country is well shown in the followingedifying paragraph from Karl Faulmann's "Illustrirte Cultur-Geschichte," vol. i., p. 184, as furnished us by a correspondent in Baltimore. The stanza headed "Amerikanisch" is given in all earnestness as a specimen of the English spoken in America, while beneath is placed what the author considers the correct English equivalent. The italics are ours: AMERIKANISCH. I haf von funny leedle poy Vot gomes schust to my knee, Der queerest schap, der createst rogue.

The best material o tiered for an incombustible "burner" for the electric light is irridium. Mr. Holland, gold penmaker of Cincinnati, claims to have discovered a flux by means of which he is able to fuse irridium in an ordinary draught furnace. He casts the metal in any shape desired, and in bars and ingots weighing as much as ten ounces. The metal thus fused and cast defies the file and resists all acids. The only mechanical way of cutting it is by friction with a copper wheel charged with diamond dust or fine corundum. Mr. Holland claims further, that the cast irridium makes suitable ''burners" for the electric light, and that so used the metal is durable without protection from the atmosphere. BUSINESS DIRECTORY.
