Suicide sometimes seems epidemic in nature, seizing upon a community and having a run of several weeks before finally dying out. This city has experienced a seige of the craze during the last four weoks, the latest self-destroyer being Louis Surperior, a Russian tailor, who worked for Philip Schloss. He ended his life on Wednesday by hanging himself to a door at his home, No. 452 north Third street. His wife was within calling distance at the time. He had .been drinking for several days and it was on the refusal of his wife to give him 10 cents with whioh to procure more whisky that he committed the deed. He leaves a family of live chil dren.

The culminating experience for the Dlall oil well people came on Tuesday evening, when fire consumed all the wooden appurtenances to the well. Such a brilliant illumination aff the oily timbers made has not been seen since the great fire at the car works, and a more beautiful, although in many respects awful, flre has never been witnessed here. The tall derrick, towering above the large buildings near, the several oil tanks and the derrick buildings were simultaneously ablaze and the flames reached to a great ^eight. The air was unusually quiet, and as the limbers of the derrick burned showers of sparks n*e perpendicularly hundreds of feet. Tlie great danger to the surrounding lumber yards and the adjoining manufactures increased the excitement greater and caused many to hold their breath. The flre department arrived promptly, however, and by excellent work, completely extinguished the flames in about twenty minutes. The remarkable part was that the oil flowed constantly from the well while the flre was in progress,
