Edward Iliggins, aged 2li, son of Mors Iliggins, a well-to-do farmer who re- des two miles west of Macon, committed licide yesterday morning by shooting imself with a rifle. The circumstances iow that the uiuse was his utter failure win the hand of a lady whom he loved.

The suicide occurred at the lliggius ome at about 8 o'clock yesterday ir.oru- ig. The gun used was a small ordinary J-calibre target rifle. But Higgins had ade his preparations with due dulibcra- on. He had thought out all the details, had laid down on the floor, had put le muzzle of the gun against his left mple, and had then pulled the trigger, eath was almost instantaneous. Hig- ns' younger brother, Floyd, had been ith him just a few minutes before the was heard, and the suicide had issed the boy and bade him good-bye, that he would be ready to go to in a few minutes.

Floyd went to IB room up stairs where the suicide lay i soon as he heard the shot, saw his rother lying on the iloor with both mds clutching the ritle, and ran to -tell mother. She went straightway to the jom, tried to awaken him in the Yain jpe that the wound was not fatal and lat he was only stunned. There is no question that he committed uici Jc, for there are circumstances which prove that ho had been con- emplating such a course. lie was the eacher in charge of the Turner school, irec miles west of Macon. lie had been -Incated in the common schools and had ttended a few terms at the Normal chool.

There as well as at home lie was nown as a shy, diffident, retiring young an. lie was sober, industrious, but he eemod to lack self-assertion and self- oniidcnce. lie was apparently easily iscouraged. For some mouths until bout September 1 he had been keeping ompany with Miss Lena Jacobs, a farmer issie residing three miles south oi' Macon. le was apparently very fond of her.

But had a rival with whom he had some iilicuhy, and thereafter Miss Jacobs avo him the cold shoulder, bestowing all er smiles on his hated rival. He was loody and despondent until he gave his nergies to the Prohibition Invincible lub, a uniformed organization which larchcd at Decatur and elsewhere. It as about this time that he fell in va with Miss Ada Ilouck, a pretty laiden of Macon, and in her presence he jrgot his old woes. He was soon deeper i love with Miss llouek than had been with Miss Jacobs, ut his difficulty in this ase was worse than in the other. His (lection was unrequited.

He wooed in ain. On Sunday evening he went horse- ack riding with her in Macon, and then ropounded the important question to vhich he received an unqualified refusal, le returned home Sunday evening in a lehmcholy mood. He had hitched up a leigh, but when he saw the snow was i-oing he expressed great regret because wanted ''one juore sleigh ride."

November bids fair to be as fatal a mouth for locomotive engineers as wa- June. The mouth is but half gone, and ix engineers and three Jiremeu have been killed in accidents in the United States.

The railroad and warehouse commissioners of Illinois held a meeting Friday and further considered the subject of interlocking switches. Without announcing any definite conclusion it was practically determined to adopt the interlock- switch device at crossings on the same level, with the requirement that a precautionary side track shall bo put in to receive the incoming train, which runs contrary to the warning of the signal. Tills precaution is intended to prevent derailment, while the interlocking switch prevents collision. The commissioners will go on their annual tour of inspection next week. In an account of the annual inspection i of the Wabash railway parly Hie Kyi; says: ''The physical condition of the Wabash railway and its equipment as shown by this careful inspection is surprisingly good and rellects great credit upon the receiver and.

his experienced and able ollieers. The common expression in regard to railways in the hands of receivers connects them i worn-out and neglected track, disabled rolling-stock, and a demoralized condition of the oflicers and employes. The Wabash railway has been in the hands of the court for the past four and a a years, but its appearance now conveys the reverse of such an impression. I 1880 the two receivers who had been in control were superseded by the a i ment of lion. Thomas W.

He probably did not intend suicide on Saturday, for he asked his father go to Decatur and purchase some pic- to be used in decorating his school 'oom, and his father was in Decalur on that errand yesterday morning, when he was called home by the news of lis son's suicide.

It thus becomes apparent that his rejection ou Sunday night lad determined his course. THE fllOWKEIl's CJUKST. Coroner Perl went down last evening ind impanel'i'd a consisting of lames L. Hight, Amos Reedy, J. Bail'orcl, N'athan A.
