TAUNTS Of Women Neighbors Said To Have Caused Mary Wessel To Commit Suicide--Girl's Mother Is Prostrated.

After drinking a half ounce of carbolic acid, Mary Wessel, living with her parents at 1605 Sycamore street, walked in her night robe into the kitchen of her home, where her mother was washing clothes, at 6 o'clock yesterday morning, and sinking into a chair exclaimed: have committed suicide. I carbolic acid; at last I shall have rest." Mary Wessel was a dressmaker and has a son about 9 years old. Ten years ago she was a pretty, vivacious girl, in love with a young man who eloped with her to Chicago, where they were to be married. She was deserted a few days later, and her parents had to send money for her train fare back to this city. Imagining that former friends were tauntIng her, she never appeared in public in daytime, preferring the seclusion of her room.

She worked as a dressmaker and supported her child, but walted until nightfall to deliver the dresses and articles she made for her customers. On numerous occasions she declared to intimate friends that she would take her life, as she imagined that she was being ridiculed by her neighbors. Her misfortune magnified itself in her eyes, and she became ill and melancholy, and a week ago a physician was called to attend her. Medicine was prescribed, but she only took a few doses of it, as she declared it did her no good. Frequent threats to commit suicide alarmed her mother, but her fears were allayed by the family, who assured her that her daughter was ill and that her threats were idle.

Yesterday she arose at 6 o'clock, after her father, a foundryman, had left for his work, and in her night clothes slipped into an adjoining room, and, stealthily slipping from a cupboard 'a bottle that was partially filled with carbolic acid, she drank the deadly With lips and throat burned white by the acid 'she walked into the kitchen, uttering the words given above, and sank into unconsciousness. Dr. Malsbary was summoned from across the street, but could not lend assistance, and the girl expired. The family say that she had been sick and melancholy, but they never suspected that she would keep her threat. The mother is prostrated and another daughter is constantly with her.

She is under medical treatment to aid her recovery from the shock of her daughter's death. Coroner Weaver will hold an inquest. WARD, Another of Gang of Land Swindlers, Arraigned. In the United States District Court yesterday morning Joseph P. Ward, of Denver.

He was brought here late Saturday night by United States Marshal Bailey. Ward, who is an old man. was indicted by the Federal Grand Jury, sitting at Columbus, as being a member of a gang who operated a gigantic land swindle.

Nearly all of the members of the gang, about half A dozen in number, have already been apprehended and are either in jail or out on bond awaiting their trials, which do not come up until the next December term of Court at the Capital City. The cases were postponed because it was the desire of Judge Thompson to try them all together and thus save time and trouble. HORSE KILLED And Driver Hurt By Traction Car at Cleves. A Cincinnati, Lawrenceburg and Aurora traction car. while passing the Cleves baseball grounds, near the Miami bridge.

yesterday morning ran into a team of horses, killing one of them and seriously injuring the driver, Joseph Betcher. Betcher, who was working on the road, had unhitched his team, and was taking them to Cleves, leading one and riding the other. When the car approached the horses became frightened and the led horse jumped directly in front of the car, pulling the other, with Betcher on its back, with it. When the car was stopped Betcher was found unconscious, with several bruises about the head and deep cuts on his arms. and the horse so badly injured that it was necessary to shoot it.

Betcher was put on the car and taken to Cleves, where his wounds were dressed by Dr. Grossman. "KISSING" BUG ARRIVES.

A Jubilee, which will be of more importance to the Catholic Church in America than even the century jubilee of two years ago, will be the one to be proclaimed by the Pope at the end of this in year honor of the fiftieth anniversary of the proclamation of the dogma of the 1m- maculate Conception.

During the festivities of this jubilee Cincinnati will become the chief center, because in this city It was that the first church in 'honor of the Immaculata was built and dedicated. It is the Passionists' Pligrim Church on Mt. Adams. The plans for a universal celebration of the event are being prepared by committee of Cardinals, and since the American Church adopted the Immaculate Conception As its patron saint the festivities will be particularly solemn in this country. The congregation on Mt.

Adams expects to remove the debt now on its church and celebrate the dogma's golden jubilee by having the church consecrated, the first one in the local archdiocese. EQUALIZATION Of School Principals' Salaries To Be Sought By the Board of Education Dyer's Acceptance. It is probable that during the next session of the Legislature the Board of Education will take some steps to secure the enactment of a law equalizing the salaries of the principals of the Cincinnati schools. As it is at present the pension law provides that when a principal receives a specifled salary it cannot be reduced. It happens, however, at times, that some principals are in charge of schools where the attendance has fallen below the average allowed and that yet their salaries cannot be reduced, while other principals in charge of schools similarly affected are prevented from securing raises, although their present salaries are several hundred dollars below that of one who happened to get his raise before the attendance at his school fell off.

The matter was brought to the attention of the Board of Education at the meeting last evening, when the Committee on Teachers and Salaries refused to grant Principal J. C. Heiser, of the Guilford School, a raise in salary because the attendance has fallen off to a considerable extent. The amendment of Rule 47 relative to the appointment of teachers was again postponed. This time it goes over until the second meeting in August, in order to give the new Superintendent an opportunity to pass upon the matter.

The amendment provides for the appointment of such persons who have graduated from colleges and universities having pedagogical courses as well as graduates from normal schools. The latter heretofore were given the preference, but under the amendment the former will have an equal chance. Member Harper last evening asked for leave of absence for July and August to visit Eastern schools. Superintendent of Schools Bonne recommended that Miss Cecelia Goldberg be confirmed regularly as assistant in the writing department, to which she was recently transferred as substitute, and that Miss Estelle Rechtin, of the Highlands School, be confirmed as intermediate teacher. Principal Lafayette Bloom, of the Twenty-seventh District School, last evening distributed among the board members statement of the receipts and expenditures of the entertainment given on the 5th inst.

The receipts aggregated $1,242 21 and the expenses were $316 68, leaving on hand cash balance of $925 55. This is on deposit in the Brighton German Bank. The acceptance of Prof. F. B.

Dyer Superintendent of the Cincinnati Public Schools was officially read last evening. He will take hold on August 10. The communication was ordered to be engrossed on the minutes. ASSAULT Is Charge Squire Herrick Will Be Tried on in Cleves. State.

Hail and others to cover $23,313 33 on notes and a mortgage. The notes had been made by Charles 0. Hall, and he gave mortgage on real tate which he had inherited from his ente. From the terms of an answer filed by the executors of his mother, Sarah J. Hall, it would appear that the mortgage covers some property the title to which Hall did not hold, and foreclosure of the security to that particular real estate is resisted.

It is alleged that part of the real for tate is held by the executors in trust Charles Hall for a period of 10 years. during which he is to receive only the income, according to the terms of the will of his mother. The executors, E. Hall and Richard T. Pullen, declare that the 10 years period has not elapsed, and therefore Charles O.

Hail had no right to nor has he still any right to incumber that property in any way, and that the mortgage as to it Is void. W. C. Cochran represents them. Mrs.
