Editor Mores Meets a Tragic Death.

S. F. Moras, editor and chief proprietor of the Indianapolis Sentinel, the state Democratic organ, met a tragic death Wednesday forenoon He fell from the window of his private office, in the Sentinel building, to the sidewalk, three stories below, and reoeived injuries from which he died in a hospital, soon afterwards. He has long been prominent in Democratic journalism and politics, and daring Cleveland’s second term he was consul general to Paris, the same position now' held by J. K. Gowdy.

Mr. Mores was alone in his room when he fell He has been in poor health fqy some time and it is supposed he went to the window for air, and was seized with dizziness and fell out. The financial affaire of the Sentinel have been going badly for some time, it is stated, especially since it sold its morning telegraphic franchise to the Star and changed to an evening paper, and his worrying over these matters no doubt greatly affected his health. And the surmise has even been made that his fall from the window may have been intentional. This sng--1 gestion however seems to receive but little credence. Personally Mr Mores was an honorable and very highly respected citizen.
