SEEKING DEATH.
A MOST UtTERMINED .SUICIDE.
Jehn t. Parrish Poisons Himself at
the
Black Herse Hetel en Account of
Demestic Difficulties.
Yesterday afternoon Jehn T. ParriEb,
house painter, aged about 03 years,
poisoned himself by taking ten grains of
merphia, and died from the effects of the
drug about one o'clock this morning.
The suicide was a most determined one.
Frem evidence taken before the coroner's
jury and from ether eeurces we learn that
Parrish went te the drug store of B. S.
Muhlenberg yesterday forenoon and asked
Mr. Martin, the salesman, for 20 cents
worth of merphia. He was asked if he
had a prescription, and en answering in
the negative was asked what he wanted
with it. lie said he wanted te try an ex
periment. Mr. Mattin lefused te sell him
the drug, when he said he would get it
semewheic else. While at Muhlenberg's
stoic he complained of his wife from whom
be had been separated, and was told that
if he could net get along with her he had
better go te the West where became from
recently. He left the stere, but returned
again in the afternoon and again asked
for the merphia. He was again refused
and left the stere. At a later he called at
the drug bterc of J. II. Kauft'man, and
tried te purchase ten grains of merphia.
He was asked if he had a physiciau'.s pre
scription, and when he said he had net he
was refused the drug. Haviug found that
he could net get the poison by direct
means, he resorted te iudiicctien, and, call
ing at Fray's drug store, he icpresentcd
that he bad been sent for the merphia by
a Lebanon physician, who wished te use it
in his practice. He obtained the drug and
took it te the Black Herse hotel, cutcriug
the house from the lear. As he came up
the yaid, Mr. Jehn B. Slough, the pro
prietor, noticed that he was ciying, and
asked him what was the matter with him.
He answered that be was in great trouble,
aud did net want te live any longer.
Takiug a tumbler of water from the bar
room be walked up into his own
room. His emotion aud hi3 general ap
pearance and his remark that he was
tired of life, induced Mr. Slough te think
that perhaps there might be something
wrong with him, aud in a very few min
utes he followed him te his room. On the
lloer be found the label of the paper in
which the merphia had been wrapped,and
Parrish told him he had taken a dose. Mr.
oleugn insisted en his coming down
stair.-, Mid then hastened across the stieet
te Frey's te aseeitain whether Parrish had
purchased merphia there. Mr Frey recog
nized the label, aud the description given
of Pan ish answered te that of the man te
whom the merphia was sold. Physicians
were .sent for, and pending their arrival
Parrish was walked rapidly up and down
the yam te pi event
from setting in. Dr.
the first uhysican
slupi
faction
was
Reed
te
ainve
aud at once gave it as his opinion that the
man could net hve, having taken 10 grains
of the poison, equal te 80 minimum dose:;.
By G o'clock he was unconscious. At a
later hour Dr. King and ether phy&ieians
visited him, but. he waa beyond the reach
of all .surgery.aud died at oue o'clock this
morning as above stated.
Parrish was an Englishman by bii th,
crme te this country when a young man,
married a wife, by whom he had two cons,
who are yet living in New Yerk in com
fortable circumstances. His wile died and
he became addicted te drink. Sonie fifteen
years age, or mere, he came te Lancaster
and maiiicd a daughter of Edw. Jacobs.
by whom he had four children. It is said
he (juarielt'd with his wife and left
ber two or three years age, and
' went West. Last Monday week he
returned te Lancaster, but his wife re
fused te live with him. This greatly ex
asperated him, aud he made threats te her
that he would kill himself and her tee.
Frem the following letter from his wife te
Alderman McCouemy it would seem that
he had suci-cfdud in getting poison from
seme ether source before he bought the
merphia Mr. McCouemy, however, did
net receive the letter until 7 o'clock last
evening, by which time the ding bad done
its fatal work :
Mil. McCoxemy : Yeu will please be
kind enough te have my man arrested He
left me nine months age, and because I
won't live with him, he came out te the
bouse dinuk last evening at 11 o'clock
and thicatcned te kill roc; and today
while I was walking away fiern home he
fetched poison te the house and says he
will poison himself aud me. I am afraid
of my life with him. I would havi' conic
myself, but he says he will lay ferme.
The bearer is my son ; ask him ; he will
tell you hew he left me with four chil
dren ; and I put three in the Heme ; I was
net able te keep them. 1 should like te
have something dene with him. His name
is Jehn T. Parrish, and beards at Black
Herse hotel. Mns. L. Parkisii,
473 High St., Lancaster.
At 8 o'clock this morning Corener
Shifter empanelled the following jury te
bold au inquest en the remains : J. K.
Smaling, W. S Sutteu, J. M. Geed. Jehn
Rudy, Samuel Slough and Themas F. Me
Elligott. Dr. Compten acted as coroner's
physician. The jury returned a veidicL of
suicide from the use of merphia
Mr. Slough, of the Black Herse hotel,
secured the services of physicians aud did
all that could be done te save the man's
life.
G. W. Brown aud ether painters for
whom Parrish worked say that be was a
very sober and iudustrieus man, but mere
than once hinted at self-destruction, owing
te his domestic troubles.
This morning Parrish's body was taken
jl te the almshouse for interment, his wife
" saying that she was tee peer te pay the
funeral expenses.
The Auditors.
Dr. Win. Compten, coroner physician,
was before the county auditors this morn
ing and he was asked a number of ques
tiens in regard te the manner in which he
made examinations and drew fees duriug
the reign of Corener Mishlcr. Scarcely
anything new was shown and net nearly
as much as this paper has often shown.
The doctor was asked if he had an ar
rangement by which he divided his fees
with the coroner. He stated that he had
net, but he had made presents te coroners
which he thought he had a right te de if
he saw fit. Other physicians will be ex
amined later.
The auditors say they will have their
report ready for presentation te the court
en July C. It will be long and probably
very interesting.

duty will lie from this day forward. He
would take off his coat and work for the
success of the ticket led by the gallant
gentleman that had been placed at the
head of it by the convention. It would
be his effort te make Pennsylvania a rep
resentative aud a Democratic state. Ap
plause ; net as te party interests, but a
state iu which hc party would ba proper
ly represented in Congress, the United
States Senate and state Legislature, and
net by the manner of requiring 2,000 Dem
ocrats te secure the same representation
as is accorded 1,000 Rcpublicns. Mr. Coxe
voted for Chauncey F. Black, and sat
down amid applause, that wound up in
thrce cheers for him.
Mne Nominees for Judge
Nominations ler supreme iuuic were
opened and the following were made: Silas
M. Claik, of Indiana, named by J. W.
Thompson, seconded by Cel. Jehn P. Lin Lin
teu: Oliver P. Bechtel. of Schuylkill, was
named by Decatur" Nice, seconded by
Jehn I. Rogers, of Philadelphia, who said
he would yield te no one in his admira
tion for Judge Ludlow, but that unless
there was a spontaneous cxpiessien from
the ether counties in favor of Ludlow's
nomination he felt that it would be unfair
for Philadelphia te contend for Ludlow
after the generous manner iu which the
highest honor of the convention had been
given te one of her sons. Mortimer F. Elli Elli
ott, of Mercer, was nominated by Mr. Peck
seconded by Cant. Tajruart, of Warren.-
James R. Ludlow, of Philadelphia, was
named by Jehn II. Few, who made an
earnest speech in favor of placing Ludlow's
name en the ticket. He was seconded by
W. M. Singeily. Mr. Thompson named
Judge James Brediu, of Butler. Mr.
Strauahan tiamed Judge ArcusMcDcrmitt
of Mercer, Dr. Martin, of Williaiuspert,
named Judge II. II. Cummins, of Lycern
ing county. Wm. II. Sowden presented
the name of Edward Harvey, of Lehigh.
Mr. Hassen, of Venango,-named Christo
pher Heydrick, of that county. The nomi
nations then closed, and the ballet was

A Speech fruui Itlack.
Just after the close of the lii.st ballet
Chauncey F. Black was brought in by the
committee aud iutreduced by the president
as the next lieutenant governor of Penn
sylvania. Mr. Black spoke as follews:
" I thank you for the honor you have
conferred upon me, and accept the trust
thus imposed upon me. I accept the honor
as oue that is meant ler the noble Democ
racy of Yerk. The skies are bright with
premises. Let the honest Democracy be
true te its trust iu November and you need
net fear but that your candidates will de
their part, and show the contrast between
honest and dishonest government." In
conclusion, Mr. Black said he would give
way te Hen. James II. Hepkins, whose
name elicited applause and cheers.
Hepkins Adurese the Convention.
Mr. Hepkins addressed the convention.
He saiti he was glad of the opportunity te
ceugiiitulate the Democracy en the har
monious, auspicious and judicious charac
ter of its work se far as it had geuc. The
ticket named would have his earnest and
persistent support. Leeking upon the
convention aud its work he also would say
that the political skies were clearing for
the Democracy and that the 200th anni
versary of the commonwealth's founding
would celebrate the recovery of the state
from the bands of the speilsmen and a vic
tory for reform. Cheers and applause.
A Staiujiede te ClarK ter Judge.
At the conclusion of the second ballet,
and before the vote was announced, a
stampede took place, and Hay, of Al
legheny ; Coxe, of Luzerne, an 1 many
ethers changed their vete te Clark. Then
the names of Bechtel and Elliett were
withdrawn aud their suppeitcrs breke
away and went te Clark. Few, of Phila
delphia, capped the climax by withdrawing
the name of Judge Ludlow and voting for
the Indiana candidate. Senater Gorden,
of Philadelphia, iu a few well chosen sen
tences, iu;vcd that the nomination of
Clark be made by acclamation, and as the
chair announced that all ether candidates
had been withdrawn this course was
adopted.
Africa Has- a Walls Over.
Nominations for secretary of internal
affairs being in order, Mr. Ellis, of Schuyl
kill, nominated J. Simpsen Africi, of
Huntingdon county. A motion te make
this nomination by acclamation was also
carried, and the convention proceeded te
nominate candidates for cengressnian-at
large.
Hay Declines the Congressional Nomination.
Mr. Wolf of Lycoming placed in nom
ination the name of Mortimer F. Elliett,
and Mr. Hippie, of Clinten, that of Mal
colm Hay. Mr. Hippie said he did net
knew whether Mr. Hay would accent the
nomination or net, but he wanted the
Democracy te say te him that he must
take the place. Mr. Stranahan of Mercer
seconded the nomination as did Mr.Hensel
of Lancaster, who spoke earnestly in its
favor as being in the interests of harmony.
Meantime Mr. Elliett's name had been
withdrawn. The convention applauded
the name of Hay te the echo and it was
apparent that he had it with him entirely.
He was recognized by the chair and said :
" I had hoped my Democratic iriends
understood that when I passed my word I
steed by it. I cannot accept the nomina
tion. I came here te advocate the claims
of a life long friend. It is simply impossi
ble for me te take the office. I will never
profit by the misfortunes of my friends.
The county of Allegheny needs no sops.
We will work for the Democratic ticket
without reward. We are for the ticket
and believe that the party deserves
cess.1
Elliett for CODrteitmiD.
After Clark's nomination for supreme
judge and Africa's selection by acclama
tion great excitement ensued ever con?
gressman-at-large. Stenger, sitting in the
convention, wanted it, and had J. Mc
Dowell Sharpe substituted te nominate
him. Malcolm Hay and Henselwere nomi
nated and declined, and Hensel made a
speech, urging that the nomination should
go te the great northern section of the state;
mat was unrepresented en the ticket.
Ever since he has been here he has been
urging the nomination of Mortimer F.
Elliet, a leading lawyer of Tiega ad4 'ad
joining counties.' On a ballet Elliet re
ceived 139$ te G3 votes for Stranger.
A Let of congressional Aspirants.
When Mr. Hay took his seat the names
of Wm. S. Stenger, of Franklin ; Wm.
M. Breslin, of Lebanon ; Richard H.
Jehnsen, of Armstrong ; Presley M.
Gnthrie, of Allegheny ; F. Elliett, of
Tiega, and "Jehn Gilpin, of Armstrong,
were offered. The names of Coulter, of
Westmoreland, and Coffroth, of Somerset,
were also placed before the cenven-
tien, but both
arose and refused
Hensel, of Lancaster,
but declined upon
in his opinion it
te stand. W. U.
was also named,
the ground that
was for the geed of the party that the
nomination should go te one of the north
ern counties. The nomination were then
closed and a ballet taken. As the ballet
proceeded the name of Guthrics was with
drawn and the vote as announced re
sulted :
" oiinsen.. . ... y
'"' i75
Elliett 13UX
The nomination of Elliett was then
made unanimous and he was escorted te
the stage and addressed the convention.
Mr. Elliett Speaks.
Mr. Elliett's remarks were well receiv
ed. He thought the Democracy should
be progressive ; that what was geed fifty
years age, was net what was needed to
day, and he felt certain that the northern
counties would show gicat Democratic
accessions in the fall.
Mr. Stenger, of Franklin, also spoke en
the assured success of the ticket.
A delegate from Schuylkill offered a
resolution authorizing the nominees of the
convention and the president thereof te
appoint the chairmau of the state commit
tee. An amendment retaining Mr. Begert
was offered. After some debate the amend
ment was withdrawn and the resolution
was unanimously adopted.
The Convention Adjourns.
After seme unimportant routine busi
ness the state committee was authorized
te fill any vacancy occurring en the state
ticket aud the convention adjourned.
Correction In the Platform.
The associated press ageut telegraphs :
We have reeeived the following :
IIarkisbukg, June 29. In. the trans
mission of the platform of the Democratic
state convention yesterday, the words
'the protection of " in the preamble be
fore the words, " The industrial interests
of Pennsylvania," were emitted. The dec
laration of the convention was "in favor of
the protection of our industrial interests of
Pennsylvania." The Harrisburg Telegraph.
(Rep.) and the Patriot, (Dem.) printed
the platform correctly, and reference te
the original draft, and te the copy of it
furnished the telegraph office, shows that
the error was made in telegraphing it.

PRIZE FIGHT.
The
Walling-Camvell Contest
tne Latter.
Wen tejr
The Walling-Campbel! fight took place
in West Yirgiuia, nearly opposite Greens Greens
bone, Pa. Campbell was victorious in
the thirty-first round, the fight lasting
thirty minutes. Walling s right hand was
broken in the third reuud aud the little
linger of his left hand in the thirty
first. Walling, though suffering in
tense pain from his broken knuckles
every time he struck his opponent,
came up te the scratch in geed
shape until the end of the thirty-first
reuud. In this round, after fighting
evenly all ever the ring, Campbell wound
up by planting a wicked, crushing stroke
en Waiting's neck, which dropped him.
His seconds picked up the fallen here, and
found that the last blew had fluished him.
Up went the spenge at 10:51, amid the
yells of Campbelrand his friends, the lat
ter lifting the victor and carrying him
around the ring. As seen as the latter had
recovered a little from his transports,
which feuud vent in a geed standing jump
ever the ropes, he passed around the hat
for the benefit of the vanquished one,
raising $0.
